Chapter 920: Tiger Style
Under normal circumstances, the Germans would not be in a state of confusion without their commanders. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But this was limited to well-trained German troops, and the German troops stationed at the "Golden Beach" were the German 709 coastal defense division...... As mentioned earlier, the coastal defense division was an out-and-out third-rate unit in the German army, which can also be said to be a rabble.
This is especially true of the 709th Coastal Defense Division, because in this unit there was even a unit formed by the Georgians from the Georgians in the German attack on the Soviet occupation of Georgia, and this regiment was called the Georgian Regiment.
And one of the battalions of this regiment was stationed at the "Golden Beach".
You must know that Georgia was still part of the Soviet Union at this time, and the Georgians were also Soviets, how could they be willing to die for the Germans, so this battalion suddenly attacked the German army during the war.
It's just that because the "Georgian regiment" is wearing German uniforms, the Zoaf regiment is still attacking them.
As a result, the "Golden Beach" was in a veritable state of chaos: the Zoaf Corps fought the Germans, the Georgians fought the Germans and the Zoaf Corps, and the Germans fought everyone when they could not figure out the situation, and sometimes mistook their own people for Georgians.
As a result, the scene got out of control for a while, and in the end, even if he found that there was danger behind him, he could only draw out a platoon to defend.
But this was obviously useless, the expeditionary force broke through the "Golden Beach" with only a single charge of a volley of grenades, and it was only because it was hazy and difficult to identify at this time, so there were some "friendly casualties" in front of the Zoaf corps...... This is also to blame the soldiers for rushing too fast and fiercely, and the first regiment was somewhat blocked by the Germans when attacking the "Utah Beach", and the steady and steady advance did not occur "friendly casualties".
Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Chi received a report from his fellow villagers: "General, you have taken 'Utah Beach' and 'Golden Beach'!" ”
"Good!" Zhang Chi replied: "Attack 'Omaha' Beach immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Chi looked at his watch, and there was still half an hour before the offensive time agreed with Eisenhower...... In other words, the expeditionary force only has half an hour to take the 'Omaha' beach, otherwise the US forces will cover the 'Omaha' with firepower.
Judging from the current situation, taking the "Omaha" beach in half an hour does not seem to be a problem, but who can say anything about the war?
Until the last moment, Zhang Chi didn't dare to be careless.
Sure enough, the expeditionary force's attack was soon blocked by the Germans......
On the other end of the walkie-talkie, a fellow villager shouted: "General, the enemy's fire is very fierce, they have built pillboxes on both wings, and we have not been able to blow it up several times!" ”
"Bunkers?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel a little strange when he heard this.
Knowing that this was a "floodplain", the Germans should not have expected an enemy to be airborne here, and this is confirmed by the fact that the expeditionary force was airborne without extensive fire.
But now, how can there still be pillboxes on the flanks? If there were pillboxes, why didn't they fire when the expeditionary force was airborne? It was the best chance to kill the soldiers of the expeditionary force at that time, wasn't it?!
With doubts, Zhang Chi ran towards the target position with a gun, and Zhang Qingqi and other guards hurriedly followed.
"General!" When the townsfolk saw Zhang Chi coming up, they raised their heads in the direction of the target and said, "We launched two charges, sacrificing dozens of brothers, but we couldn't get close to it, and we couldn't find its firepower!" Bazookas can't blow up ......"
"Hmm!" Zhang Chi responded.
In fact, there is no need for his fellow villagers to say, he has already heard the dense gunfire and cannon sound from above.
Changing positions, Zhang Chi slowly poked his head out, and then slowly set up the gun...... This is the standard procedure for snipers, probe before shooting.
If the gun is out first and then probe, there will be a problem, as soon as the gun is out...... The enemy may have already spotted your location and is aiming for it, just waiting for you to stick your head out.
There is no such problem as poking your head out first, and of course, you have to be prepared to shrink your head as soon as you see danger.
The light was very dim, and it was still raining lightly, so Zhang Chi couldn't see what was seven hundred meters away from the opposite side at all...... A vague patch, only a faint green leaf could be seen.
Occasionally, there would be a flash of machine-gun fire from the leaves, and from time to time there would be a burst of cannon fire...... This is what fellow villagers call a bunker, and it does look like a bunker.
Zhang Chi even wanted to shoot at the spark of the machine gun.
But after seeing the dirt kicked up by the shell, Zhang Chi dispelled this idea and retracted his head.
"How?" Fellow countrymen asked.
"That's not a bunker!" Zhang Chi said.
"Not a bunker? That's ......"
"It's a tank!" Zhang Chi replied: "Tiger tank!" ”
THE TIGER TANK WAS A DIRECT-FIRE GUN, AND THE BLASTED EARTH WAS NOT IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE CURVED GUN, AND ZHANG CHI ALSO RECOGNIZED THE SOUND OF THE TIGER 88MM TANK GUN.
The townsman couldn't help but say "oh": "No wonder we couldn't find its dead end, it turned out to be a tank...... The cannon can be turned! ”
Then he gasped again: "General, this tiger style...... We don't have anti-tank guns, we only have bazookas, and it's not enough to fight tigers! ”
"Isn't there anywhere else to get around?" Zhang Chi asked.
The fellow villager shook his head: "The topography of this 'Omaha' beachhead is very strange, with cliffs more than thirty meters high on both sides, unless you climb the cliffs, there are only these two narrow passages!" ”
Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning when he heard this...... The two narrow passages were guarded by two Tigers, which the Germans used as pillboxes.
Not to mention, although the most important thing for tanks is mobility, in some special cases, such as now, it is still a good weapon to use as a pillbox to block airborne troops without heavy equipment.
YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE TIGER FRONTAL ARMOR REACHES 102MM, AND IT IS ALSO NICKEL-CHROMIUM-MANGANESE-MOLYBDENUM ROLLED STEEL...... Even the Bazooka's 100 mm penetration depth is difficult to penetrate at close range.
(Note: The Bazooka's penetration depth itself is slightly lower than that of the Tiger armor, and if the Tiger is slightly angled, the bazooka will not be able to penetrate)
What now?
Do you want to use people to pile up? It doesn't seem to be working......
It's not that Zhang Chi can't bear it, and it is necessary to sacrifice a small number of people to save the entire army when necessary. The problem is that it's just going to consume ammo.
Request fire support?
Zhang Chi had thought about this, but it was difficult for the naval guns to accurately hit the two Tigers in the wind and waves, and the fighters could not see the target clearly in this weather...... Unless it's a whole area covered bombardment, which inevitably causes accidental damage.
Time passed little by little in embarrassment, and Zhang Chi now had less than twenty minutes left......
