At three o'clock in the afternoon, when the battle on the battlefield was at its fiercest, hundreds of artillery pieces roared together. This salvo of hundreds of cannons is extremely spectacular. Compared with the first two shellings of the Naval Resistance Army, the senses are completely different.

The first two shellings of the Naval Resistance Army were said to be salvos, but in fact they were somewhat uneven. But this time hundreds of cannons were fired almost simultaneously, and the hearing at close range was already out of order, and only the position of the earth was felt. After more than ten seconds, only a flash of explosion was seen in the distance, followed by the shaking of the earth, and then the rumble of the explosion of the cannonballs could be heard.

In the first round of strikes, the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army did not even adjust the cannon ruler, and the so-called basic skill of artillery fire extension is still a difficult action for the rookies of the Naval Resistance Army.

The shelling lasted a full half hour, and everyone in the artillery array was tired and sweaty.

Like this kind of artillery, there are not many people in the Naval Resistance Army who have this kind of opportunity. Heavy artillery shells are too expensive, and the training of the naval resistance forces in peacetime rarely fires live ammunition.

The fighters of the Naval Resistance Army enjoyed themselves, but the Germans had eight lifetimes of bad luck. The area chosen for the first round of shelling happened to be passed by a German army, and the half-hour shelling bombarded an area of one square kilometer several times. There were quite a few veterans in the German army, and most of the veterans on the battlefield knew that shells would not fall into the same crater. But today they have a special situation, and these gunners of the Naval Resistance Army are not at all there to fight the Germans, but to have fun. Hundreds of heavy guns, aimed at a small area, are like hundreds of drumsticks falling on a drum, and the density of shells is simply impossible to measure by common sense.

After half an hour of bombardment, there was not a single artillery shot in the hit area, and even the gunfire was scattered and pitiful.

Li Guangda was very proud, and the Soviets used the most barbaric artillery in World War II, often blasting hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of guns in one direction, and then opening the gap to launch the so-called strategy of great depth. But no matter how good you are, can you have the luxury of arranging a hundred large-caliber heavy guns within a radius of 500 meters? Is it possible to arrange two hundred and fifty cannons in less than one square kilometer?

No matter how rich the Soviets were, it was impossible to drop hundreds of tons of shells in half an hour in an area of one square kilometer. In the absence of strong fortifications, such a blow was devastating to the German military spirit. Such heavy artillery fire, on the French battlefield, the Germans had never experienced before. It is not known how much the Germans lost in this shelling, but one thing is most obvious, the Germans did not attack from this direction until they took Dunkirk.

Li Guang was proud of what he was doing, and he didn't ask the staff officers of the British and French forces, and quickly chose the next target on the map.

There is plenty of manpower, the shells are filled quickly, and the rate of fire is naturally not slow. The hoarding of shells in the 100-gun array seems to be a lot, but there are more cannons. Another half hour of indiscriminate bombardment, with a rapid reduction in ammunition.

The second round of shelling was exactly the same as the first, another half an hour of indiscriminate shelling. This extravagant use of artillery fire, the consumption of ammunition is extremely high, 250 guns, half an hour can shoot nearly 300 tons of ammunition.

Two rounds of shelling actually consumed five or six hundred tons of ammunition, which is a staggering amount of consumption. In fact, the British and French gunners had never had such luxury, and this kind of shooting was the first time they had seen it, regardless of whether the shooting was accurate or not, and they did not even have the most basic observation posts, let alone the effect of the shelling.

A by-product of this extravagant style of play was the fact that the ammunition hoarded on the positions was depleted after two rounds of shelling. Originally, Li Guang thought that the mountains of shells could withstand the consumption, but when the fight really started, he found that the ammunition hoarded on hundreds of trucks had been exhausted in two rounds of bombing. In these years, the loading capacity of trucks is really small, whether it is a legal truck or an English-made truck, the load is only two and a half tons or three tons. Hundreds of trucks are already quite large on the beach, but they can only carry three or four hundred tons.

This consumption is not a level of ammunition consumption compared to the previous two shellings. At the end, the barrel of the cannon was hot, and the spit went up, and it was a puff of green smoke. Even so, the senior gunners of the British army claimed that if all the gunners were skilled, they could have fired six or seven hundred tons of ammunition in fifteen minutes. What this British [***] official said is actually not unreasonable, a salvo of an artillery group of this size is 50 tons of ammunition, and 6 or 700 tons is only a dozen salvos.

Map Cannon. This can almost be called a map cannon, a saturation attack, and one or two square kilometers immediately turned into ruins. Li Guang looked at the map, and if he could collect 10,000 tons of artillery shells, he might be able to completely push the German army back a few kilometers. Li Guang has a soft spot for artillery coverage strikes in later years, and in fact, it was the idea that originated in Dunkirk.

Afterwards, many people commented that Li Guang's use of artillery was of the master level, and even commented that this shelling was a model example of concentrated artillery fire. In fact, Li Guang was not aware of this at all, he just felt that there was no chance to pull away the cannons and shells, and it was just a pity. And there is only one reason why the blows are so violently concentrated, the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army did not adjust the ruler at all during the firing, knowing the term extended shooting, but they would not use it as a cannon.

As for the later people who said that the shelling was just right and was hitting the rhythm of the German offensive, Li Guang could only smile mysteriously. In fact, he chose the location of the shelling at that time, just following his feelings.

Li Guang's pride did not last long, and after two rounds of shelling, the German fighters abandoned the battleships at sea and aimed their main aim at the artillery positions.

The Germans had gone mad, Li Guang's two rounds of artillery bombardment were almost all crooked, the German troops in the bombing area suffered heavy casualties, even if there were no troops deployed in the area, the offensive roads were all blown up in pieces, and the most miserable thing was a German armored unit that had just arrived on the battlefield, and 12 tanks were completely wiped out in the rain of bullets.

The German fighters flew over the artillery array, and Li Guang was not lost, and the soldiers quickly retreated with an order. After half an hour of fighting, these fighters also needed to rest, collect ammunition again, and continue to deliver shells to their positions. Now there is not a single British army in the artillery array, and there are not many naval resistance soldiers.

The retreat of the naval resistance fighters and the British and French artillery was not slow, but the German fighters were faster. The fighters of the Naval Resistance Army and the soldiers of the British and French forces endured the raging attack of the fighters at this moment. The fighters stumbled out of the artillery positions.

The bombing tactics of the German fighters gave the Navy's brethren the opportunity to flee for their lives, and the German army, like the air forces of most countries in the world, had pilot fighters in one formation. Navigators are generally elite and skilled. They were responsible for making bombing demonstrations for subsequent pilots. In this way, each fighter plane can bomb at intervals of 10 to 30 seconds. Taking advantage of this short interval, most of the fighters broke away from the tiger's mouth.

The power of the bombers is definitely not comparable to the fighters, the Germans are ruthless enough, more than 30 bombers dropped dozens of tons of ammunition, and the bombed artillery positions were turned upside down, like hell.

The bombs dropped by the fighters were already so terrifying that the ammunition of the artillery group was more than ten times that of the fighters, and the power of the bombing could be imagined. Li Guang once had a question about why the prices of most fighters in this era were lower than those of heavy artillery. For example, the price of a six-inch cannon is more than $100,000, while the price of a P40 fighter is around $30,000. Modern people don't understand this, but when you look at the amount of ammunition fired by artillery, you may understand it a little deeper. Throughout World War II, warplanes could not replace the bombing effect of artillery.

For the first time in Europe, the fighters of the Naval Resistance Army suffered casualties, with seven killed and sixty-five wounded. Li Guang looked at this result, a little crying without tears, and secretly blamed himself for being hot-headed. From this point of view, the British artillery was vigilant enough and had a higher level of escape, perhaps they were also observing the sky when shooting?

There was an important reason for the casualties of the brothers of the Navy: the British troops in charge of antiaircraft artillery vigilance were seriously negligent in their duties, and the German fighters did not make warning shots at all before they pounced, and they were not able to shoot down a single German fighter plane during the entire bombing process. Li Guang was extremely angry in his heart, and it can be said that the British officers and soldiers of the Naval Resistance Army were extremely responsible for the losses of the fighters, and the British Army left an extremely bad impression on Li Guang from then on.

However, this shelling had an unexpected result, and the Germans, attacking from the south, simply abandoned the attack in this direction in the following days, even if the artillery position had already been destroyed. In the ensuing period, the transport routes of the Naval Resistance Army were not bombarded by German shore artillery, and the shelling was very effective.
