: 0.050s Scan: 0.020sJust when the British troops in Bournemouth were eagerly looking forward to their reinforcements, their reinforcements encountered the German bombing on the way.
The British troops who set out from the Fog City were blocked by German fighters halfway!
Because the British Air Force had been completely lost in the previous bombing and air battles, the German fighters had almost nothing to do, so they completely vented their firepower on these hurriedly marching British troops.
The British trucks and soldiers on the road were fiercely strafed by machine guns.
The British trucks had basically no protection, and were full of bullet holes from machine gun bullets.
The soldiers inside were killed and wounded.
As for those British soldiers who were marching on the road without any protection, they were more like leeks, and were swept down by the flames from the machine guns like a sickle.
The remaining British soldiers shouted and ran towards both sides of the road.
In addition to the wounded soldiers and the dead on the road, there were also many people.
���Apart from the corpses, almost no one stayed!
There were many German fighter planes.
After they saw the British soldiers fleeing in all directions, they immediately dispersed and chased them everywhere, beating them to death and making them cry for their parents.
Several British support troops were hit hard by the air on the way, and their formation was broken up before they reached their destination. The
German strafing caused them considerable losses and caused great damage to their organization. The soldiers fled in all directions, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers. The entire British army was in chaos. Even if the German fighters had left, they could not recover for a long time. It took several hours for them to restore order and prepare to move forward, and the German air force came again!
This time, the British soldiers could no longer hold on, and immediately scattered and fled for their lives!
The closest to Bournemouth was a British army that departed from Southampton by train.
Because the distance was very close, after departing by train, they arrived in Bournemouth before dawn.
However, this British army was also hit hard by the German army.
The German dive bombers had already blown up the train station before they arrived at the train station, forcing the British army to get off the train in advance.
As expected, they were ambushed by the German army as soon as they got off the train.
A large number of ground attack aircraft launched thousands of rockets at them with rocket launchers.
The huge number of rockets immediately dyed the entire earth red, as if it was a red rain of steel!
The British soldiers had never seen such a scene before. Most of the train that was hit was on fire. Many soldiers who got off the train or did not have time to get off the train were either killed or burned alive by the explosion of rockets! The
British soldiers behind were frightened and fled to both sides in a panic, and they dared not stay by the train anymore!
After the German attack aircraft destroyed the rail car, they chased the British army that fled in all directions and beat them up. As a result, although the British army arrived in Bournemouth, they were delayed. There was no way to enter the position, replace the defenders on the position, and help them resist the German attack!
Just as the German attack planes and fighter planes blocked the British reinforcements, the German landing troops, supported by the B-29 strategic bombers, launched a fierce attack on the British third line of defense!
At this time, all 100,000 German troops landed, and the thousands of tanks and hundreds of large-caliber artillery assigned to them were all in place. For a time, the British positions were full of artillery fire.
The air force bombing had just ended, and the intensive artillery bombardment of the German army sounded again. The British soldiers were hit in turn and had been stunned for a long time. They hid in the anti-gun caves trembling and could do nothing. They could only pray to God helplessly and pray for God’s blessing.
Finally, the earth-shaking explosions outside finally stopped. The British soldiers were relieved and were about to take a breath, but they heard regular and rhythmic roars coming from the ground!
“What is that sound?”
“Why does it feel like the ground is shaking?”
“It’s the enemy’s tank, hurry up, prepare explosive packs and cluster grenades!”
There was a commotion on the British position, and a large number of soldiers who were blown up shouted loudly and hurriedly crawled out of the anti-artillery holes, preparing explosive packs and cluster grenades to attack the German tanks!
This method was summed up by the British army in the confrontation with German tanks last night. It is an effective way to deal with tanks!
The heaviest armor of tanks of various countries is generally concentrated on the front, and when they attack, they happen to be facing the enemy head-on, so the British anti-tank guns can basically only hit the front of the German tanks. Facing armor that is dozens or even hundreds of millimeters thick, their small-caliber anti-tank guns The artillery was naturally helpless!
So although their anti-tank guns were firing vigorously and many shells hit the target, they had never destroyed the enemy’s tanks. This made the British army realize that it was unrealistic to rely on their poor anti-tank guns, so they immediately gave up this method of attack, using the flexibility of the soldiers and adopting a covert approach to stuff explosive packs and cluster grenades under or on the sides of the German tanks.
The armor in these two places is naturally much weaker than the frontal armor. The power of explosive packs and cluster grenades can destroy the enemy’s tanks!
However, this method of attack is extremely dangerous. The German tanks are not fools, they will not stand still and let them attack.
There is a firing hole in front of the Type 4 tank, and there is a machine gunner inside. He will closely watch the British army’s every move, and will shoot without mercy when he finds an enemy that can threaten his safety.
There is also a machine gun on the tank’s turret.
This machine gun has a larger caliber and is more powerful.
If two machine guns fire together, it will pose a great threat to the British army.
The British army may be killed by the German machine guns as soon as they rush out of the trench!
Even if they rush to the side of the tank, they may not have a chance to launch an attack, because there are infantry behind the German tank.
Along with the attack, these infantrymen will be responsible for dealing with the approaching enemies.
If the British soldiers want to stuff the explosive packs in their hands under the German tanks, they must avoid the interception of these German soldiers!
This is really difficult, so the soldiers who can attack with explosive packs are basically death squads. There are not many such people in the army of any country, and the British army is naturally the same!
Therefore, although the battlefield was lively, there were few people who really rushed up with explosive packs!
However, they don’t have to rush, the German tanks have already run under their noses!
