Chapter 739: The Germans' Battleship
"Lie down!" Sir Ramsey's side, the guard shouted loudly, and then pushed him to the ground, covering him with his own body.
Then, the terrible sound came.
"Boom, boom!"
Every roar brought with it the appearance of a huge hole, and the walls built of bricks could not block the attack of 40mm high-explosive shells at all, and every time they fired, it brought a terrible big hole!
Even reinforced concrete could not stop it, and the surrounding brackets were poured with reinforced concrete, and when the 40-mm high-explosive shells passed, I saw that the pillars had already scattered in all directions in the loud explosion.
"Boom." The whole small building collapsed.
Seeing the destruction of the building, Captain Webb was satisfied with the nose of the plane and aggressively searched for the next target.
British, prepare for an attack from Germany!
HS129, Junkers-88 bombers, wreaked havoc throughout Plymouth Harbor, they constantly dropped bombs, strafed the ground with cannons, and everywhere was miserable, while in the process, the shipyard on the side was intact.
Germany does not mean to bomb shipyards, after all, this will soon become a German base, and Germany also needs all kinds of equipment for shipyards here, and everything here is German.
There is nothing to say about their fortifications, and the equipment here must not be damaged.
During the attack, the small building where Sir Ramsey was located was blown down, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead, and at the same time, a large number of high-ranking officers were also crushed underneath.
The entire base has been leaderless.
Almost simultaneously, fifty kilometers away from the base.
A sharp siren sounded, and a famous pilot quickly put on his flight suit, carried his flight cap, and ran towards his fighter plane.
The fighters here are all Hurricane fighters, a model before the Spitfire entered service.
Although the British Air Force was not interested in fighter jets that could reach speeds of more than 300 kilometers per hour, Hawker was aware of the development of today's aviation technology, and in the mid-thirties, the fighter was developed.
After that, sure enough, the British Air Force changed its opinion and began to order these fighters, and by the time the war broke out, thousands of Hurricanes had already been delivered, far more than the Spitfire.
Although the Spitfire fighter is quite famous in the Battle of Britain, in fact, more interception missions are completed by Hurricane fighters.
And near Plymouth, only the Hurricane fighters of their flying group acted as the main force of defense.
However, the performance of this fighter can only be described as miserable.
After the outbreak of World War II, the Hurricane, as one of the most advanced fighters of the British army, was stationed on the European continent as the main force of the front-line air strike force.
As a result, within ten days of the start of the war, 250 Hurricanes were shot down; During the air combat operations covering the great retreat of Dunkirk, almost 150 more were lost.
And now, due to the lack of Spitfire, the Hurricane fighter is still the main force of the second line.
Captain Cruise jumped on his plane, let the ground crew start quickly, and slid quickly on the runway.
There were bombers from the Germans! For them, this is a combat signal, there is a lot of pressure on the air defense of the London side, they have long wanted to fight, and now, the Germans are finally here!
However, just as he slid into the middle of the runway, countless curses were heard over the radio.
Damn the Germans!
Overhead, V-2 missiles, with a sharp whistling, were flying towards them!
Last time, Germany launched a large number of V-2 missiles, completely paralyzing the air defense of Area 11, but Germany's production capacity of such missiles is even more terrifying.
Within days, a new batch of missiles had been produced, this time targeting a base near Plymouth.
Until now, the accuracy of the V-2 missiles was still not high, and in order to achieve sufficient bombing effect, they had to compensate for it with more missiles, and in an attack on such an air base, they used 50 missiles!
A large number of V-2 missiles are coming! Some of them flew away, and some of them splashed down accurately!
"Boom!" In the sky above the airbase, this missile exploded! The bullet at the top exploded, sending out countless tiny balls, and everyone's eyes widened as the balls began to fall.
Damn, it's that horrible guy again!
Although this was the first time they had encountered it, their comrades near London had suffered heavy losses not only at the time, but also daily casualties for some time afterward.
Every time they talk about it, they change color for it, it's really terrible!
And now, you have been attacked by this terrible weapon!
"Boom!" Every small ball, when it hit the ground, there was a violent explosion, and in an instant, there was a sea of fire everywhere, and Cruise quickly stepped on the brakes with both feet, but the plane was still rushing towards the sea of fire in front of him...
The nearest air base was completely blown up! The air base, which is farther away, has been calling this side, but there is no response, and each unit has a fixed defensive area, and in order to avoid being hit by the anti-aircraft artillery units on the ground, they are slow to dispatch.
(Air defense in the era of World War II was still very primitive, generally speaking, it was divided in advance, a certain piece was ground anti-aircraft artillery air defense, and a certain piece was fighter air defense, so that the ground anti-aircraft artillery did not need to be identified by friend or foe, as long as they saw something flying in the sky, they would fire directly, it was that simple.) )
On the port of Plymouth, the British GIs were expressionless, and they looked away from the sky in surprise, and a huge fleet had already appeared on the sea in the distance!
The one at the front was the Bismarck, the proudest battleship of the Germans!
If their shore defense guns were still there, whether they were 356 mm or 233 mm shore guns, they would have opened fire at this time, pouring shells on the sea, and because they had prepared their firing tables in advance, their shooting was fast and efficient, and they would definitely be able to take the Germans down.
But now, these shore defense guns have disappeared, and looking at the shaved mountain, everyone feels an indescribable horror.
Suddenly, their pupils dilated, and the terrible huge battleship, with its guns bursting with fire, black smoke, surrounded the entire battleship, and they opened fire!
Aircraft throwing bombs is not efficient, and the ship's naval guns are firing, that is an efficient and low-cost solution.
The first round of artillery fire is still those coastal defense artillery positions, and the remaining 152 mm scum and scum will be handed over to the German naval guns to solve!
The German battleships, lined up, poured fire wantonly on the shore, and behind them, one after another, landing ships, through their lines, continued to advance.
Landing in Plymouth Harbour, England, this large-scale scene is about to begin!
How to land in the UK, this has been a daily topic of German staff officers for the last two years.
If you look at the map, the UK has a long coastline, but if you look at the actual scene, you know that there are not many areas where you can land.
For example, from Dover to Plymouth, this long coastline is not landable.
Why? Because the seaside here is full of steep cliffs, and below the cliffs, there is the seawater, and then, as if it had been slashed, the cliffs on the coast appeared.
How do I log in? At most, the special forces can climb up, and if they want to transport troops in large quantities, they can't even think about it!
If there had been no sound attack, if there had been no sacrifice at Dover, the German landing in Britain would have cost huge casualties. And now, in front of the 1st Army of the German Marine Corps, there are only two or three thousand shivering British second-line militiamen!
