Dover.

There used to be beautiful beaches, but now, there is no such peaceful scene here.

Fortifications were hastily erected on the coastline, and at this time, the garrison of the British mainland was nervously looking at the sea in the distance.

It's dark at night, Germans, will they come today?

Corporal Josephine was holding his Lee-Enfield rifle, a rifle produced during the First World War, which had been thrown into the storeroom but was now being taken back and distributed to the newly drafted troops.

Josephine was a hairy boy sixteen years ago, and now a father of two. At this time, his heart was a little nervous, and his hands were a little rusty.

Moreover, he did not think it would be useful.

It is said that the Germans have tanks that can swim in the sea, and if the Germans' tanks rush up first, what is the use of these rifles on their side?

I'm afraid you'll have to use sticky sticky bombs, right? There were a few sticky bombs beside him, but when he thought of the complicated operation and the possibility of missing at any time, he didn't have much hope.

But, as a warrior, as a citizen of England, he was determined.

The night was dark, and searchlights were scanning the sea. Germans, will they come?

Opposite, Calais coast.

"Attention, this is not a drill, tonight, we will cross the strait!" At this time, the entire camp was brightly lit, and tens of thousands of soldiers were assembled, most of whom were French volunteers.

"The first soldier of the First Legion of the French Volunteer Army to step onto the land on the other side will receive the title of Holy Aryan!" The German commander shouted loudly: "Now, let's fight for honor!" ”

Fighting for honor, every French soldier was full of excitement in his heart at this time.

After the last bombing, they have been conducting landing drills for the past few days, and it is almost not too dangerous for them to follow the German tank charge.

And this title of the Holy Aryan, in turn, inspires them, this is not only an honorary title, but also has many practical uses, and if you get this title, you will be respected everywhere, even if you don't even have to pay for a car to the gas station.

When you go to take the train, someone will give up your seat, which is the highest honor.

Fight for honor!

The leader of the First Legion, Jacques Dorio, was even more excited at this time, since he was the commander of this army, he naturally wanted to make a contribution!

The whole of Europe is German, and if he wants to get ahead, he can only work for Germany, and this expedition to Britain is the beginning of the peak of his life!

It's just that in the dark, you can only see the troops on your side, what about the other troops?

He was just worried for a moment, and then he figured it out,

On our own, it is the vanguard force, and the other troops must be in the nearby port, ready to board the ship, right?

This is the closest place to the other side, close enough to large-caliber shore defense guns, and even able to project shells, so there is no large number of merchant ships and landing ships assembled here in Calais Port.

The first wave is them, and when they have beaten down the beachhead, the main battle equipment of the follow-up army will definitely follow!

Thinking of this, he had nothing to worry about, it was now night, and the losses of landing operations at night were much smaller than during the day.

Let's fight!

Amphibious tanks have been activated, and with a rumbling sound, the tanks are moving towards the sea.

There is another reason why I chose tonight, the sea conditions are good.

Today is a rare good weather, there is no wind, the strait is calm, this time, the most conducive to the navigation of the ship!

With the launch of the amphibious tank, the French volunteers pushed their rubber boats into the water, and then, following the tanks, began to paddle.

The night is dark and they don't have to worry about getting lost at sea because their dinghy is everywhere! Moreover, on the opposite coast, countless searchlights are guiding them.

Just as they entered the water, there was a rumbling sound overhead.

Bomber! It's your own bomber!

It would be better if there were bombers to clear the field for their own side in advance! The French volunteers raised their heads and wanted to see the bombers flying by in the dark night sky, but alas, they found nothing but sound.

At this time, in the sky, German bombers were flying smoothly.

In the past, when I bombed the UK, I used all the big guys, Junkers-290, Junkers-88, etc., but this time, all of them were Stukka!

This is the difference between strategic and tactical bombing, and now, what is needed is a strike at the beachhead of the British, and Stuka is the best option!

Of course, the German professional ground attack aircraft HS-129 is more unambiguous for such a mission, but this attack aircraft, which has other uses, is not in the vicinity of Calais.

To this day, Stuka is still an effective ground attack weapon!

Pilot Karl sat in his cockpit and excitedly looked at the lamppost in the distance, this was his first combat voyage, the most complicated night voyage!

At the school in Berlin, Karl received rigorous training from the instructor Rudel, yes, the famous Hans Rudel, who is now the pride of the Stukka pilot.

After flying the required combat voyage, Rudel had to enter the pilot school in the rear, responsible for training the new Stuka pilots, and his training was extremely rigorous, after all, every mistake in the flight maneuver brought a price in blood.

He was known for his harshness, but, every pilot, was proud to train under him! As long as they go to the battlefield, they are no longer rookies, they are already flying veterans!

The engines in front were roaring, and the Stuka piloted by Carl did not carry bombs as weapons, but under the wings on both sides, each mounted a 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun and an improved aerial gun, each with 100 rounds of ammunition.

This is the experience learned from the HS129, using aerial guns to attack the ground, in many cases the effect is better than using bombs. This 40 mm cannon can knock through the top armor of all tanks, and it can also beat the ground fortifications to the ground. At the same time, because the Stuka does not have heavy armor, it does not have much flight performance after carrying this kind of aerial gun.

Powerful in firepower, this Stuka is privately known as the cannon bird.

Tens of kilometers of straits, almost a matter of minutes, Karl's goal, first of all, is those shining searchlights!
