Eight tank landing ships rushed to the beach. On each landing ship, 20 tanks and hundreds of soldiers came down. They gathered together on the beach to form a torrent and rushed to the shore.
Beach landing was originally the most threatening task. When it was the most dangerous on the beach, even everyone had only a few seconds to live.
But now, they are very relaxed.
Because there was no resistance on the beach and no army came out.
The bombing of this day has washed all kinds of coastal defense and troops at all levels in Brest. The bombers in the sky and the shells of naval guns have turned any fortification here into a scene like hell.
Moreover, the most important thing is that there was no alert here a day ago. Many soldiers in the barracks were still lazily basking in the sun and discussing the war situation. They didn't expect that the war would suddenly come.
Another reason is that Darlan took away the elite here. The most effective troops were transferred to besiege the manor. As a result, it was empty. It was so empty that it was unable to resist Germany's Cross Sea landing.
While the landing ships scrambled for the beach and landed, the merchant ships, under the cover of their own battleships, slowly landed. The merchant ships moved very slowly. It took more than ten minutes to stop the ships, and the troops on them rushed out.
Just as the merchant ships landed to unload equipment and personnel, the first division of the Marine Corps had started, led by tank troops and followed by infantry. Their goal was not Brest, but the suburbs of Brest. They had to hurry there and reinforce their vanguard troops!
The whole Brest was so flustered that the news reached the manor more than ten minutes later.
At this time, it was getting dark.
"After it's all dark, we'll launch another attack." Mr. Bailey said unconvinced that in the afternoon, his troops launched several attacks, but each time they were beaten back. At this time, almost all the tanks in his troops remained in the attack position, and some were still smoking.
His troops suffered heavy losses, but he will never give up. At this time, the reinforcements of another infantry division have arrived. Now, they can attack together!
Night is a good time for the attackers and a nightmare for the defenders. Unless the Germans use their bullets intensively at all costs and consume a lot of their ammunition, their own attack will succeed!
Darlan was very satisfied with Bailey's statement.
"Yes, we are going to launch an attack overnight. Paris has sent many telegrams asking about our progress. Delaying it is not good for us. Now, the German tank group army in the north is rushing here along the coastline, leaving us little time." Darlan said: "now, we have lost a lot, but I believe it is not easy for the Germans. Whoever can stick to the end will win."
Darlan is very anxious. This day, he has found that the German opposite has countless cards in his hand. Every attack of his own side will be played back. Now, although he speaks very well, in fact, his heart is also restless. Maybe the German has new cards.
As soon as the voice fell, he heard the rapid footsteps of his adjutant. The adjutant strode in and said to him out of breath, "general, it's not good."
Darlan frowned when he said this. As a soldier, even if the sky falls, he can't be afraid. What's surprising now? Is it the German reinforcements?
Then, the adjutant's words confirmed that his conjecture was completely correct: "the Germans have landed from Brest. At least several divisions have troops. Now, the whole urban area has been controlled by the Germans. Their forward, probably a full armored division, is coming to us."
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
A full Panzer Division!
Now, with the progress of battle after battle, the evaluation of Germany's combat effectiveness has already begun.
Bloody battles one after another write the glory of Germany. The combat effectiveness of the German army is quite rebellious.
Now, the most optimistic estimate is that an armored division that wants to fight the Germans needs at least a French or British armored division five times the size of Germany to have the hope of victory.
The pessimistic estimate is that it is not enough, because the German tanks, firepower, mobility and protection have surpassed the whole era. When Britain and France have not developed new tanks comparable to the Germans, there are not enough armored divisions.
It is a false proposition that the quality is not enough and the quantity is not enough. Can you imagine the light tanks of Britain and France and the Panther tanks besieging Germany? No matter how many, they will be destroyed by Panther tanks, and their own tanks, even at zero distance, can't destroy each other's Panther tanks!
Only by thinking of various ingenious methods, such as exploding tracks and throwing flasks, can soldiers do it with great courage and sacrifice.
At least, several infantry divisions on the scene are not enough to plug the teeth of German armored divisions, which is their consensus.
I can't fight!
"Click!" Just then, in the dark sky, suddenly shining, followed by the sound of thunder.
A heavy rain came like this.
The headquarters was built under a piece of grapevine. Now, with the heavy rain, everyone was drenched in soup in an instant.
Damn it, is France dying?
No, this heavy rain is our last chance!
"Herald, all troops, attack together!" Regardless of the rain on his face, he refused the adjutant around him and quickly took an umbrella for himself. Darlan said: "the heavy rain will delay the action of the German armored forces, and we should complete our task before the arrival of the German armored forces. This battle is related to the fate of France!"
Bean sized raindrops hit under the soles of his feet and splashed water. Darlan picked up a MAS-38 submachine gun from the next table and said to the people present: "all return to their respective troops and charge with their own troops! This heavy rain is our only chance. France will remember us, history and us. Just tonight, we saved France with the most resolute action! "
After thinking about it, he continued, "as long as we can keep this batch of gold safe, I will apply to distribute 1% of this batch of gold as a reward to our soldiers."
Darlan, it's a desperate fight!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
