Chapter 698

Just as the two people were grieving for their motherland, the sharp air defense alarm suddenly rang through the air. That kind of portable hand air defense alarm issued a piercing eardrum howl, suddenly interrupted two people's painful thoughts.

"What's the matter? The Germans almost never bomb the facilities in the city and sound the air defense battle alarm. What do you mean Montgomery grabbed a soldier who rushed to transfer his bed and frowned. But he soon knew the answer, because in the sky above him, one German bomber after another could be seen.

"My God Montgomery lowered his head and saw a mess of civilians and soldiers. There were too many things in the city because there was no camouflage and protection in a hurry. There were materials stacked together and fuel, ammunition distributed and first-aid supplies. Of course, there were wounded and civilians everywhere. On the contrary, there were geological reasons, Air raid shelters and other facilities are very few here.

Groups of German bombers are blocking the sky. You don't have to think about it carefully to know what kind of damage the German bombing will bring to Alexandria. Although you know in your heart that this kind of thing will come sooner or later, Montgomery still realized that in this afternoon, the British will face their most terrible test in a month.

Because of the lack of artillery fire, most of the anti-aircraft guns in the city were sent to the peripheral positions. They were either used as temporary anti tank missions like the German 88 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, or as support guns. Moreover, most of the artillery has been lost in the fierce fighting outside. There are only a few air defense weapons in the city, which can moan at this time.

Yes, groan. In front of the overwhelming bombers of the German air force, the British anti-aircraft gun firepower can definitely be described by groan now. Several small caliber anti-aircraft guns spewed flames into the sky, but they did not disturb the dense bombing formation of the German bombers.

The local Egyptians looked up in horror and saw the bombers open the hatch under the belly, revealing the terrible bombs. Then, with the roaring wind, these bombs were dropped one by one, and then pulled out a shrill sound in the wind. It was the sound of the wind blowing the whistle on the bombs, and it was also the whistle of death blowing the harvest of life.

One bomber dropped the bomb, and dozens of bombers behind dropped the bombs they carried, and then more bombers opened the hatch and dropped the heavy bombs they carried. So the whole port of Alexandria was like a heavy rain, a heavy rain of steel and destruction.

The British general, who had lost his hand, looked at the dense German bombers in the sky and sighed with a bitter smile: "how can human beings fight against such a terrible power? How can human body resist the destruction of steel? How long can we hold out in front of such a powerful war machine? "

"Sir! Please follow me and get out of here at once! It's too dangerous! " The adjutant pulled Montgomery's arm in the hope of taking away the general who had been stagnant there, but his efforts were obviously in vain. Montgomery stood there, and didn't mean to leave at all.

Montgomery remembered what he saw when he was in England. Hundreds of German bombers appeared in the sky of London, and then dropped hundreds of huge bombs filled with terrible chemicals, which made the fire burn and even the water could not extinguish. The whole of London is burning, the whole earth is shaking, and the civilization built by human beings for thousands of years will collapse and destroy in ten minutes.

That kind of terrible thing, after one experience, is enough to make people collapse. Montgomery witnessed it twice. What's more sad is that the bombing targets of these two times are the cities he vowed to defend. The results are the same. The cities he wanted to defend have become ruins, and his efforts are in vain.

A bomb fell not far away, just hit the crowd, the huge flame instantly devoured countless lives, and then the huge explosion spread to a wider range, tearing people's bodies and destroying them. Montgomery saw with his own eyes an arm flying to the surrounding roof, and saw with his own eyes a broken body flying into the distance.

Then more bombs exploded, the latest one exploded, and a gust of wind blew off Montgomery's hat. From time to time, there was a loud bang in the distance. It was the sound of buildings collapsing. Montgomery remembered that the sound of buildings collapsing in London was louder, because the buildings there were heavier and bigger.

Without waiting for Montgomery to recover, he was pressed on his head by his assistant, adjutant and the guards around him. A group of people escorted him to an anti-aircraft gun position not far away. There was only a pathetic anti-aircraft gun, but there were sandbag fortifications to protect him.

The field hospital, which used to be full of troubles, was in a mess in an instant. People avoided the bombs dropped by the bombers, then bumped into each other and were trampled under their feet. The white tent fluttered with the wind, the gauze and sheets were blown away, and some precious and incomparable instruments were scattered all over the ground. No one cared.

The Germans sent out a total of 190 do-217 bombers at one go, which is a bit scary for Alexandria. What's more, there are 140 Stuka bombers supported by the front line, 50 fw-190d fighters loaded with small bombs, and 40 fighters covered by the front line. Germany has more than 400 planes, which can be described as covering the sky.

Moreover, this time, the German air force dropped a large number of napalm incendiary bombs in the bombs, which increased the power of destruction and destruction. In an instant, the whole Alexandria Harbor was full of smoke, and some buildings were ignited by fire, making a crackling sound. Even the sea was ablaze, and some boats were set on fire. Some of the wounded lying on the hospital bed, who had been struggling, soon ended their lives in this chaotic situation. They lay on the bed where no one cared about them, struggling to sit up, but finally stopped breathing and dropped their arms powerlessly. More people were devoured by the fire, directly turned into coke, the sheets were ignited into black powder, the beds were burned, turned into twisted iron shelves. The wounded man was stuck with the chemical in the napalm, and then frantically struggled in the fire, tearing off his skin and screaming. The German Air Force's escort fighter plane, which was in charge of covering, began to dive because of doing nothing. It used machine guns to strafe through the crowd and knocked down the British soldiers carrying stretchers and medical equipment. The streets were stained red with blood and the corpses were piled with newer corpses. Montgomery was carried into a bunker full of sandbags by his subordinates. Before he recovered, he saw that the only antiaircraft gun not far away was patronized by two Stuka bombers. One dropped the bomb and blasted the cannon into scrap iron, and the other poured hundreds of shells with a 20 mm aircraft gun, making a white smoke around the whole antiaircraft gun. The whole port of Alexandria has become a sea of fire and a real purgatory. Although the German bombing of London is larger and longer, London has a relatively perfect underground bunker structure, which can protect most people's lives. The underground structure of Alexandria is almost zero, so its ability to withstand bombing is weaker. All buildings shudder in the sound of the air bomb explosion. People are desperate to see their homes destroyed, their relatives and friends die, and everything they are familiar with become ruins. The bombing, which was not too heavy, was soon over. German planes came and went faster. Because of the unprecedented scale of bombing, the German did not prepare for a second bombing. Most of the bombers left the sea after losing all the bombs, and a few of the covered planes and Stuka were still circling. With tears in their eyes, they walked out of their hiding place before the German plane left completely and began to rescue those things that had little value for rescue. Some people had just been stuck on their skin by the things sputtered by napalm bombs, and now they were rotten and blackened, with a burning smell. Crying began to come from all directions. In fact, it had been there since the beginning of the bombing, but the sound of explosions everywhere was too deafening, so it covered up these hoarse cries. The sound of asking for help also came sporadically, but in the cry, it was powerful, weak and some felt powerless“ general! Are you all right Montgomery's assistant's face had been smoked black, and asked Montgomery, who had not come back yet, that the German bombing had finally come, but it was too rapid and without warning, and it also brought real disaster to the people in Alexandria harbor. Hundreds of soldiers died in the bombing, more wounded and civilians also died in this catastrophe, and more than 10000 people died directly in the bombing. At this time, the living people did not know that the fresh water storage, purification facilities and power system of the city were also destroyed, and the destruction of these living facilities would bring more deaths“ I have nothing to do... I need to get a phone call and organize people to help rescue the wounded. I also need to send someone to count the losses. I need to get the loss report as soon as possible. " Montgomery looked at the flames burning everywhere, murmured and ordered, "come on! Go and help! Leave me alone
