Chapter 735: Dover's Victory
This is the sorrow of the bomber troops, even if there is a network of fire intertwined with anti-aircraft artillery in front, even if you know that flying over is death, you have to go up!
The reason is very simple, if you don't send you to death, then more people will die, today you don't succeed in bombing, tomorrow you have to have more companions to bomb, this must have the consciousness of dying at any time.
It's just that, now, the artillery fire below seems to be too fierce, right?
One bomber after another, constantly falling, from the sky, the anti-aircraft artillery positions below, forming a dense network of firepower, just covering their bombing route, as if the other side knew in advance that they were going to bomb!
Suddenly, Curtis pulled up the lever, and the bomber began to climb again, and at the same time, he shouted over the radio: "Attention, change the bombing plan, go around, and return to bomb!" β
The anti-aircraft artillery fire here is too dense, and the bombardment is simply hellish difficulty, in that case, why not change tactics?
Curtis's idea saved the remaining bombers of his bomber unit, and the anti-aircraft artillery troops on the ground were instantly dumbfounded, the other party was not particularly stupid, and actually knew to temporarily change the route!
It's just that, in this case, what should you do?
The bomber unit made three turns and circled in a big circle in the sky, and now, the anti-aircraft artillery on the ground was really sparse!
Curtis couldn't be more excited: "Keep bombing!" β
The bomb bay door opened, one bomb after another, falling to the ground, and the bombardier shouted happily: "Accurately hit the tank units of the Germans!" β
Hit accurately!
The tank troops below have become a sea of fire!
When they finished bombing, the German fighter units came in a hurry, and there were not many of them.
"Prime Minister, everything is going well." At this time, the returning passenger plane, still flying on the Atlantic route, followed the visiting general to report to Churchill happily: "We have blocked the German landing force on the beachhead, and at the same time, our bomber force has successfully bombed the German tanks in the port of Calais opposite, and a large number of tanks have been destroyed by us." The follow-up reinforcements of the Germans will certainly not catch up immediately. β
Churchill nodded: "We want to use an absolute victory to inspire our country and people, by the way, now, I will be on the plane, to give a speech to the people of the whole country." β
Churchill couldn't wait, Britain, it needed a victory so badly, it needed to boost morale, especially now, the landing operation of the Germans, which was about to be thwarted by their own side!
There was a complete radio on the airliner, and when the London radio station was contacted, Churchill's voice appeared on the radio.
"Dear soldiers who have stuck in battle, all workers working on the front lines, dear citizens of the British Empire, now, I, Prime Minister Winston, have good news for you, that we have successfully thwarted a German landing on British soil, that we have paid a heavy price to the Germans, and that we have ushered in a great victory at Dover!"
Dover Victory! Although the British also suffered a lot of casualties, the corpses of the German attacking troops on the beach will appear in the front pages of tomorrow's newspapers! Britain, thwarted an attempt by Germany to attack!
This is of great significance, since the Polish incident, the German army has swept across Europe, and now, Germany's footsteps have finally stopped in front of Britain, in the English Channel.
This is a turning point in the long run!
"Of course, there are still brutal wars and difficult years in front of us, but I believe that the final victory belongs to us, today we thwarted the German counteroffensive, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, in the near future, we will counterattack on the European continent! We will replant the banner of freedom and democracy on the European continent! β
Churchill's voice is subdued, if you want to be a qualified politician, you must be a qualified orator! And now, Churchill's speech, is quite good.
In the past, although he was also sonorous and powerful, he had no backing, but now, with this victory as a foreshadowing, his momentum is even more obvious.
The sound has spread throughout Europe and the whole world.
Paris.
"Churchill, you're too confident, aren't you?" Turning off the radio, Marshal Keitel couldn't help but sneer: "Now, our army is still holding out on the beach!" How did they declare victory like that? β
I was really too confident, and in this case, the victory was declared, and everyone present felt the same way.
"FΓΌhrer, our Plan B, has completed all preparations."
"Let's begin, let's use an even more brilliant victory to tell the British who is the master of this continent!" Ciric said loudly, at this time, just half an hour had passed.
The offensive begins!
Brest, western France.
Once, fierce fighting broke out here, and German special forces flew in gliders and suddenly landed here to take control of the gold storage estate, after which the French fought fiercely to retake the estate.
As a result, the powerful German marines landed across the sea, and this combat operation shocked the whole world, and when the German landing ship landed directly on the beachhead, it gave people an extremely shocking feeling, it turned out that it could be fought like this!
After that, the place calmed down again, and the rapid surrender of France made people feel that France was simply weak, and the German marines were gradually forgotten.
In fact, it has not been forgotten that this time Germany landed in Britain across the sea, using hundreds of amphibious tanks, such a scale, the British thought it was the German Marine Corps.
Of course not!
In Brest, where no one noticed, the German ** team, has gathered more than 300,000 people! They will step out of here and step onto British soil.
The first to set out was Germany's proud Marine Corps, which by this time had rapidly expanded to the size of two divisions, which in turn became the German First Marine Corps.
The commander of the army, the former commander of the 1st Division, Vice Admiral Ernst Scheller, at this time, he was in a tank landing ship, standing on the bridge, facing the sea breeze, and set sail.
In front of them, the main battleships of the German Navy, including the battleship Bismarck, were also used, and they would use their own naval guns to greet the British Navy in Plymouth first.
Hundreds of ships, mighty, followed by a large number of merchant ships, this landing operation, they have been preparing for a long time!
