Chapter 294
The British army is on this beach and has been preparing for a long time.
Although there was no heavy artillery, the density of various small-caliber guns was surprising. In particular, the mortars hidden in the hidden trenches not only had a fast rate of fire, but also had a terrible accuracy because they had already been marked to shoot at the elements.
Moreover, these mortars were all concealed on the anticline of the high ground of the coastal defense line, which made the fierce coalition artillery fire absolutely helpless.
Almost every mortar shell takes the life of a German soldier. Inside the binoculars, it is common to see German soldiers being blown up and flying.
A small number of howitzers also fired, and Li Xiu saw with his own eyes a German soldier being swept into a minefield by a wave of air.
The body was blown into disconnected pieces by the exploding mine, and when the pieces hit the ground, they caused another explosion. Then it turns into smaller pieces and then explodes again.
Eventually, the shattered corpse could no longer trigger the mine. That's the end of the explosion!
This German soldier single-handedly carved out a large minefield-free area.
Li Xiu shook his head, the casualties would be too great if he fought like this. If it was the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely not attack such a strong position.
“
The Ming Marine Corps will conduct a very thorough and meticulous reconnaissance in advance. Pinpoint the weak points of the enemy's defenses, then pierce them with the most ferocious attacks.
The invincibility of the Ming army is definitely not a fluke, or it just relies on powerful equipment.
In the Shanhaiguan Army Military Academy, all the students knew what Li Xiao said.
Investigation! Investigation! Constant scouting!
Be sure to find out the details of the enemy forces before attacking. The Ming Dynasty was also the first army in the world to compile professional scouts.
These scouts were active in all corners of the front line, and many times when the enemy was unaware of it, the defense line had been thoroughly penetrated by the Ming army.
Machine guns, mortars, and barbed wire mines formed a defensive line that actually blocked the German army's footsteps.
Not only blocked, if you don't want to find a way. An infantry regiment that landed on the beach might soon be wiped out.
Just when Li Xiu was worried about the German army, suddenly a huge explosion occurred in the rear of the British defensive line.
Even though it was several kilometers away, Li Xiu could still see the shock wave from the explosion.
A huge column of smoke rises from the steaming sky. The dust from the explosion covered a kilometer of the area.
"Second master! The Germans infiltrated the past units and began to attack!
I have to say that this style of play of the German army is really dangerous. If it was discovered by the British, a whole division of Germans would have been finished.
If our staff officers dare to formulate such an offensive plan, they will be scolded by the superiors. Chen Laohu saw the explosion behind the British army, and praised it with "tsk" and "tsk".
Li Xiu shook his head helplessly: "This is not only dangerous, but also very costly.
After all, the way the Germans and us fought was still very different.
They don't care about the lives of their soldiers, they only care about whether the battle is won or not.
But speaking of which, the execution spirit of the German soldiers is really good. ”
What the second master said was that even if there was a cliff in front of him, as long as the official gave an order, the soldiers under him would jump down without hesitation.
The Germans call this the spirit of iron! ”
"Soldiers, there should still be this spirit. To tell the truth, if our soldiers fight such a cruel battle, ......! ”
Li Xiu shook his head, the Ming army fought a lot of battles, and it was a well-known victorious division.
Can......! I've never fought such a brutal battle!
Under the constant bombardment of machine guns and mortars, and even returning fire is a luxury, it is difficult for the troops not to collapse.
It's not that the army will collapse when it encounters such a situation, it's just that ...... The commander of the Ming army simply would not let the troops fight such a battle.
Listening to Li Xiu's words, Chen Laohu was speechless.
The British army, which was attacking the German army selflessly, was about to annihilate the German army on the beach in one fell swoop.
Behind the British troops, countless German soldiers suddenly rushed out.
The British troops who were fighting had no idea that German troops would suddenly appear behind them.
The German soldiers charged silently with their guns in hand. When they see a mortar position, they throw grenades one after another.
Shoot a British soldier when he sees it!
It doesn't matter if these British soldiers are supply soldiers, or chaplains, or doctors and nurses.
These German soldiers rushed over like a dangerous flood.
The unprepared British artillery positions were immediately overwhelmed by the Germans.
Lots and lots of British artillerymen were killed by grenades and guns.
There were also German soldiers who threw huge explosive bags directly into the door of the bunker.
Only a loud bang was heard, and the doors of the fortifications and bunkers were immediately blown apart.
The British soldiers who had not yet come out of it were all covered inside.
The German soldiers on the beach saw that the opposing position's position was in chaos. Immediately shout and start charging!
Under the flanking of the two German forces, the British army quickly collapsed. Many British soldiers laid down their weapons and raised their hands in surrender.
But the German army, which was already red-eyed, cared about surrender.
With a gun, he shoots when he sees someone.
Groups of surrendered British troops were killed!
Fortified reinforced concrete bunkers, the Germans were more likely to use explosives packs.
Thirty kilograms of explosives are usually used, and a rack of explosives is used to prop up the perforation. After pulling the fuse, prepare a shot hole and throw a grenade inside.
After the grenade exploded, the smoking explosive bag was stuffed into the hole.
After stuffing it in, the German soldiers ran for their lives.
Soon, a muffled explosion passed. Then the Bunker doesn't exist!
In just 20 minutes, the Germans occupied the entire beach of Dover.
"The adventure is great, and the reward is just as great.
If we want to conquer such a strong place, we will have to bomb it with shells for a day or two.
We won't attack until the fortifications we've detected have been completely destroyed. Chen Laohu looked at the German soldiers cheering on the battlefield and nodded with emotion.
Let the arsenal ships prepare, it is estimated that they will be launched soon.
Li Xiu gave the order!
Now that the beach is occupied by the Germans, the next thing the British want to do most must be to take back the coast of Dover.
As soon as the British army began to attack, it would be mercilessly bombarded by Ming artillery fire.
In many cases, you can force a wall of fire out of one place.
Anyone who dares to challenge this wall of fire will be torn into disconnected pieces by the scattered cannonballs.
It can be said that the Ming army was able to achieve such a brilliant victory. Many times, it is by this kind of crazy shelling.
