The firepower of the fortress of Gibraltar was so strong that in one place, artillery and flat-fire guns of all calibers on the mountainside, tanks and infantry could not rush to the front of the fortress for a hundred meters, and they would fly and be annihilated.

If you use infantry to attack Gibraltar, it is purely to find death, and the bottom layer of Gibraltar is full of machine-gun holes, which are like a downward sloping flare, with a diameter of more than a meter in front.

Don't think that such a large perforation is simply stuffed with explosives packets, it is simply impossible, because the thickness of the side of the Gibraltar fortress is about three or four meters, so the depth of this perforation is also thirty meters, and the further you go inside, the smaller it becomes, and finally it is as small as the mouth of a bowl, so the explosives bag or anything has no effect on the fortress.

The most depressing thing is that the fortress of Gibraltar only has two strong thick iron gates on the side facing the sea, and there are no doors at all in other places, and the enemy attacking from the land cannot even touch the doors of others, let alone break in.

Even if you break in, what can you do, the British put more than 10,000 soldiers in the fortress, and you have to die tens of thousands of people to take the fortress like a labyrinth, so the British have always thought that their fortress of Gibraltar is impregnable, and this is where the confidence lies.

The fortress of Gibraltar is known as the strongest fortress in the world, and it is definitely not the boast of the British, but the result of the British operating here for several worlds, this place is simply the throat of the British Empire, and there is absolutely no room for error, so they will continue to strengthen it for hundreds of years.

Is there no weakness in the fortress of Gibraltar? How could it be, if Gibraltar did not have weaknesses, it would be impossible for the British to send a fleet to support the Gibraltar Fortress, and the British built the Gibraltar Fortress, of course, knowing the weakness of the Gibraltar Fortress.

The British would not tell anyone where the weakness of the Gibraltar fortress was, but Rommel, as a traverser, knew the weakness of the Gibraltar fortress, and later generations have discussed the plan of how to attack the Gibraltar fortress.

Speaking of the weakness of the Gibraltar Fortress, we must start from the beginning of its construction, the construction of the Gibraltar Fortress was more than 300 years ago, and then it was not until the First World War, and the aircraft appeared in the First World War, and it was only 20 years from the outbreak of the Second World War.

Therefore, from the construction of the fortress of Gibraltar to the outbreak of World War II, no attention was paid to the arrangement of anti-aircraft firepower, because the aircraft, a weapon that changed the mode of war, appeared in too short a time.

When the British did not realize the great role of air defense on the fortress, otherwise the British would not have built so many battleships with huge ships and cannons, so the weakness of the fortress of Gibraltar was anti-aircraft firepower.

If the fortress of Gibraltar had been protected by the British Mediterranean Fleet, there would have been no need to worry about air defense, because the Mediterranean Fleet had two aircraft carriers, and now the Mediterranean Fleet had annihilated most of the main forces by Belrommel, and all the remaining damaged ships had fled to the port of Alexandria.

The fortress of Gibraltar, without the protection of anti-aircraft fire, was in front of Rommel, like a beautiful woman who had taken off her clothes, and Rommel had several ways to storm the fortress of Gibraltar at a very small cost.

There is a direct railway in Spain to Gibraltar, and when Rommel was more than 50 kilometers away from Gibraltar, he stopped the train and then got off the train to repair it.

The fortress guns on the top of the hill of Gibraltar are not vegetarian, with a caliber of 280 mm, and the firing range should be thirty kilometers, so Rommel will not stupidly send his 7th Panzer Division to the muzzle of someone to be bombed!

"Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to find."

Of course, Rommel did not travel more than a thousand miles to find death, he came to occupy the fortress of Gibraltar, he came to cut off the maritime lifeline of the British.

The 7th Panzer Division was resting, but the 4th Air Division was not resting, and they received another order from Rommel to completely clear all anti-aircraft fire around Gibraltar.

Although the anti-aircraft fire of the Gibraltar fortress is extremely weak, it does not mean that there is none, and for the safety of the transport helicopter FA223, these anti-aircraft firepower must also be completely cleared, and the FA223 at this time is extremely vulnerable.

Loud explosions could be heard from Gibraltar all morning, and it seemed that Andrew was using heavy aerial bombs, otherwise the sound could not have traveled so far.

By 12 o'clock at noon, Andrew sent a telegram on the situation of the battle, and the anti-aircraft fire around the fortress of Gibraltar had been cleared, and Rommel was relieved that Gibraltar could not escape, even if Churchill had the ability to live every day, he could not save the fortress of Gibraltar.

After lunch, Rommel held a pre-war meeting, which was Rommel's habit, the traverser was not omnipotent, and his brothers had very good tactical cultivation, so he discussed with them before the attack, and it was good to check and fill in the gaps.

Rommel can be described as prosperous and successful during this period of time, so his spirit is particularly good, and Rommel's mental state gives his subordinates the feeling of full confidence.

The mental outlook of the commander will invisibly affect his subordinates, this is absolute, if a commander is desperate for the future, then the spirit of this army will also cross, not to mention the morale of the army.

A general who can lead his subordinates from physiology to victory will be respected and admired by his subordinates at any time, and Rommel is of course no exception.

Present at the meeting today were several major generals of the Seventh Panzer Army, namely Chief of Staff Hans, Deputy Army Commander Bismarck, Commander of the Seventh Panzer Division Luxembourg, Division Commander of the Fourth Air Division Andrew, and Eddy, Commander of the Direct Shipping Regiment.

In addition, there are three division commanders who have not yet arrived, namely Decker, commander of the 5th Armored Division, Hidinger, commander of the 15th Armored Division, and Balke, commander of the Wansheng Volunteer Division.

As is the old rule, Rommel's pre-war meeting never had slogans and nonsense, and he took a few of his men who attended the meeting to the sand table of the fortress of Gibraltar and began to tell:

"Brothers, I won't talk about the solidity and powerful firepower of the Gibraltar fortress, how to attack Gibraltar, I believe you have also deduced it, you all talk about your own fighting style, see if you can take down the Gibraltar fortress at a very small price."

Several officers attending the meeting suddenly had long mouths, not knowing what to say, how could the strongest Gibraltar fortress in the world be taken down at a very small price, it was simply a fantasy.

Rommel looked at his subordinates' surprised appearance and began to name them:

"Hans, as the chief of staff, you should first tell me about your tactical arrangements."

Hans, the chief of staff, had been dealing with logistics and supplies almost every day, and when attacking such a fortress group, Hans said that he could not do anything about it.

[Brothers continue to Sanjiang tickets, it's too powerful, and thanks to the brothers, a list will start when it is on the shelves, and it will be updated once a week. 】
