Chapter 729: Cross the strait tonight

Dover.

There used to be a beautiful beach here, but now, there is no such peaceful scene here.

On the coastline, fortifications were hurriedly constructed. At this time, the British garrison was looking nervously at the distant sea.

The night is dark, the Germans, will come over today?

Corporal Josephine was holding his Lee-Enfield rifle. This was a rifle produced during World War I. It was originally thrown in the warehouse, but now it was taken out again and distributed to the newly recruited troops.

Josephine served in the military sixteen years ago. At that time, he was still a hairy boy. Now, he is a father of two children. At this moment, his heart was a little nervous, and his hands were a little rusty.

Moreover, he does not think it is so useful.

It is said that the Germans have tanks that can swim in the sea. If the German tanks rush up first, what use are these rifles of their own?

I'm afraid I have to use sticky bullets, right? There were a few sticky bullets beside him, but thinking of the complicated operation and possible misses at any time, he had no hope.

However, as a soldier, as a citizen of England, he is determined.

The night is dark, and searchlights scan the sea. Germans, will they come?

Opposite, the coast of Calais.

"Attention, this is not an exercise. Tonight, we will cross the strait!" At this time, the entire camp, brightly lit, and tens of thousands of soldiers were assembled, most of which were French volunteers.

"The first soldiers of the First Corps of the French Volunteers to step on the land on the other side will receive the title of Holy Aryan!" The German commander shouted loudly: "Now, let us fight for honor!"

Fighting for honor, every French soldier is full of excitement at this time.

After the last bombing, in the past few days, they have been continuously conducting landing exercises. For them, it is almost not too dangerous to charge with German tanks.

And this title of sacred Aryan is inspiring them. It is not only an honorary title, but also has many practical uses. If you get this title, you will be respected everywhere, even if you drive to a gas station. No need to pay.

If you take the train, someone will give up your seat. This is the highest honor.

Fight for honor!

The leader of the First Army, Jacques Dorio, was full of excitement at this time. Since he became the commander of this army, he naturally wanted to make a contribution!

The whole of Europe is German. If he wants to get ahead, he can only sacrifice his life for Germany. And this time, the expedition to England is the beginning of the peak of his life!

However, in the darkness, you can only see the troops on your side, what about the other troops?

He was just worried, and then he figured it out.

Your own side is the vanguard. The other troops must be in nearby ports. Are you ready to board the ship?

This is the closest place to the opposite bank. It is close to the large-caliber coastal defense guns, which can even project shells. Therefore, there is not a large number of merchant ships and landing ships on the Port of Calais.

The first wave is them. After they hit the beachhead, the main battle equipment of the subsequent army will definitely follow!

Thinking of this, he didn't have anything to worry about, but now at night, landing operations at night, the loss is much smaller than during the day.

Fight!

One after another amphibious tanks have been launched, and amid the rumbling sound, the tanks moved towards the sea.

There is another reason why I chose tonight. The sea conditions are good.

Today is a rare good weather, there is no wind, the strait is calm and the waves are calm, this time is most conducive to the navigation of ships!

Following the launch of the amphibious tank, the French volunteers pushed their rubber dinghy into the sea, and then followed the tank and started paddling.

The night is dark, they don't have to worry about getting lost at sea, because their rubber boats are everywhere! Moreover, on the opposite coast, countless searchlights are guiding them.

Just after they entered the sea, a rumbling voice came over their heads.

bomber! It's your own bomber!

It would be even better if there were bombers to clear the field ahead of time! The French volunteers raised their heads, wanting to see the bombers flying by in the dark night sky, but unfortunately, they found nothing except the sound.

At this time, the German bomber was flying steadily in the sky.

In the past, all the big guys were used to bomb Britain, such as Junker-290, Junker-88, etc., but this time, they were all Stuka!

This is the difference between strategic bombing and tactical bombing. Now, what is needed is to strike the British beachhead. Stuka is the best choice!

Of course, the German professional ground attack aircraft hs-129, UU reading is more unambiguous to perform this task, but this attack aircraft has other uses and is not near Calais.

Until now, Stuka is still an effective ground attack weapon!

The pilot Carl was sitting in his cockpit, looking excitedly at the light poles in the distance. This was his first combat sailing, the most complicated night sailing!

In the Berlin school, Karl received rigorous training from the instructor Rudel. Yes, he is the famous Hans Rudel. Now, he is the pride of Sostuka pilots.

After completing the required combat and sailing, Rudel had to enter the pilot school at the rear to train new Stuka pilots. His training was extremely strict. After all, every mistake in flight action would bring The price of blood.

He is famous for his harshness, but every pilot is proud of training under his hand! As long as they are on the battlefield, they are no longer rookies, they are already flying veterans!

The front engine was roaring. The Stuka that Carl was driving did not carry bombs as a weapon. Instead, under the wings on both sides, each mounted a 40mm Bofors antiaircraft gun. Guns, each with 100 rounds.

This is the experience gained from hs129, using aircraft cannons to attack the ground, in many cases the effect is better than using bombs. This 40mm cannon can knock on the top armor of all tanks, and is more able to beat ground fortifications. At the same time, because Stuka does not have heavy armor, its flight performance did not decline much after carrying this aircraft gun.

With strong firepower, this Stuka is privately called a cannon bird.

The strait of dozens of kilometers is almost a matter of minutes. Carl's goal is first of all the shiny searchlights! Mobile users please browse and read,
