Chapter 162: Battle of Malta Island (Part II)

The absolute radius of 50 kg of aerial bombs is at least 30 meters, and even if you lie on the ground, your internal organs will be shattered and killed within 30 meters.

Thirty to 200 meters is shrapnel, and the shrapnel produced by the explosion of the bomb is flying in all directions without purpose, and it is not known who will be hit.

Countless bombs fell from the sky, overwhelmingly exploding on the ground, and the flames and gunpowder smoke followed the bomber's flight trajectory layer by layer.

The terrifying carpet bombing enveloped Brian's carefully arranged ambush, and when Brian received this report, he was first silent, and then furious:

"Spy, we have Nazi spies on the island of Malta, this damn spy bastard, you should be cut with a thousand cuts...... Whining...... O my seven thousand brothers! ”

The enterprising Brian used half of his forces to dig a big hole for Rommel, but his troops were covered in carpet bombardment.

The plains where the British troops who were in ambush were all arranged, they were either hidden in the woods or in the bushes, and they did not even dig trenches, and under this inhumane carpet bombardment, I am afraid that few people will survive.

Rommel, the traverser, has no special skills, his ability to command battles is all based on the integration of Rommel's own knowledge, and Rommel the traverser does not know how to make weapons.

Rommel's greatest skill is to rob the banks of the occupying powers, and then invest the money in weapons research and development, it can be said that Rommel the traverser has almost no perverted skills.

"God's Eye" is a surreal version of the "Eagle Eye", which is equivalent to a modern unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

Brian was furious at his underground headquarters, and he attributed the precise bombing of his ambush by the Germans to spy tips, which was the only explanation. But the enemy is already in the city, and it is impossible for Brian to track down the spies.

Brian had previously been unconvinced by Rommel, but now he knew he was no match for Rommel.

Before, Brian thought that Rommel was in vain, but now Brian realizes how wrong he is.

The island of Malta is absolutely undefendable, Brian knows it best. He kept saying to his subordinates that reinforcements would arrive soon, but the British Mediterranean Fleet was being dragged in Greece, so what would Britain do to reinforce the island of Malta!

Brian said that there were reinforcements, it was purely to stabilize the morale of the army, the troops defending the island were seriously insufficient, and now he has lost nearly 7,000 fresh troops, what will Brian do to hold on to Malta Island? It can only be delayed for a few days at most.

Although Brian, who was helpless, was desperate in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and persevered, and he pretended to be full of confidence.

"Order all forces to shrink to the city of Valletta. Tell the brothers that our reinforcements will arrive soon, and we only need to hold out for four or five days. ”

Brian was a vicious man, and he estimated that he could hold on to Valletta for about four or five days with the remaining seven or eight thousand troops, and he deceived his men that the reinforcements would arrive in four or five days.

The place that was carpet-bombed by German bombers is now like hell. Burning trees, corpses everywhere. Few corpses were intact, almost all the weapons on the ground were reduced to parts, and even tanks were piles of burning bonfires.

As soon as Brian's retreat order was given, the British army, which had been blown to pieces, immediately threw away their weapons and fled against the city of Valletta. Seven thousand British troops were dispatched, and about two thousand fled back.

The British troops stationed at the three airfields were blowing up the runways, and soon received Brian's order to retreat, and these British troops continued to retreat, and the anti-aircraft artillery fire around the airfields was also put away. Trailer truck back.

However, two waves of German air raids followed, and this time it was the "Screaming Death" -- Stuka dive bombers, British anti-aircraft guns and artillery, most of which were deployed outside the city, and Brian had to shrink all his forces into the city.

The cannons had to be put away and towed by truck to Valletta, a process that would not have been a hassle in normal times, but now it was wartime, and the German Stuka was here again.

Stuka was notoriously accurate for its precision dive bombing, and as soon as the British artillery was mounted on the truck, German Stuka bombers followed.

The screams of "woo woo ......" were heart-rending, and hundreds of kilograms of aerial bombs exploded with earth-shattering power, and the destructive power of the aerial bombs turned all kinds of British artillery into parts one by one, flying all over the sky.

If the British artillery fled a little slower, then they would also go to the end of God, because the British army put away all the anti-aircraft guns, which turned into a one-sided massacre, and the retreating British artillery did not even have a chance to fight back.

The only thing the British artillery could do was to drop the cannons at once, and then run into the woods or fields on the side of the road, or leave the cannons far away, maybe to pick up a life, or else to seek death.

In this battle of Malta, the German army's superiority in the air force was too great, and the German army's 800 planes fought the British army with 48 planes, including 24 bombers. With such a large quantitative gap, there is no way to compete.

……

Although Harold is the commander of the paratrooper division, he has no special treatment on the plane, and he also needs to be airborne like ordinary soldiers.

"Toot toot...... "......The warning light is on.

"We have already flown over the island of Malta and the plane will soon be lowering altitude."

"Bumper ...... Bumper ......"

There were still sporadic anti-aircraft fire on the island of Malta, and the British really believed their commanders - they only had to hold out for four or five days before British reinforcements arrived.

In order to prove that he would not easily lose to Rommel, Brian actually lied to his subordinates, and he wanted to use lies to support his subordinates' will to resist.

In this way, British history will definitely write Brian as a hero, but what about the soldiers who died in vain! And the relatives of those soldiers! What would they think of Brian, the lying general, if they knew the truth?

Hey, with such a general, it's really the sorrow of those British soldiers, a word from the commander, thousands of soldiers will become cannon fodder for it, who is to blame?

Don't blame Rommel, Brian could have chosen to surrender with a disparity in strength and foreign reinforcements.

Soon the JU52 flew past the sparse anti-aircraft gun positions of the British army, which fireworks were wantonly blooming in the air gradually faded away, and a few minutes later the green instructions in the Harold cabin flashed:

"Doodoo ......"

At this time, the JU52 was close to 1,500 meters above the ground, and after many experiments by Harold, this altitude skydive was the most ideal.

"Open the tail hatch and prepare to drop the supply canisters, 1, 2, 3 put ...... Bang dang...... Hurry, the supplies are dropped, the personnel start parachuting, hurry. ”
