Calais is a port city in northern France, near the Calais channel, which is the narrowest place in the English Channel.
Calais is more than 30 kilometers away from Dover port. When the weather is sunny, you can even see Britain on the beach of Calais.
The geographical location here is quite good. It is an important passenger transport center. Many French people who go to Britain embark from Calais.
At the same time, Calais is also a famous tourist city in the north, and its beach is famous in France. There are white sea cliffs and gray sea cliffs.
Now Calais, still an old city, is built on an artificial island surrounded by canals and ports.
The German army advanced here quite quickly, and Calais was an empty city at that time. Therefore, like many cities in France, Calais was easily pocketed by the Germans.
Now, the British army wants to retreat back. Calais is the nearest!
When it was just dawn, the 3rd Infantry Division had moved to the periphery of Calais. At this time, they had changed from marching to fighting!
They only have light weapons, and the German army guarding the city opposite is said to be the size of an infantry battalion. After all, the German troops are stretched across France. If a large number of garrisons are left in each city, the German army will not have to fight.
The city is close at hand. If you capture the city, you can use the deep-water port of Calais. Your warships and passenger ships can start up!
"Brave soldiers, for the sake of Great Britain, rushed into the city and killed all the Germans!" Standing on the hood of a car, Montgomery shouted.
Go!
Compared with the French army who lost fighting spirit, the British army at this time still maintained strong combat effectiveness. At least the third infantry division had good fighting spirit. As long as they captured Calais, they could go home!
When they first set foot on the land of Europe, they sat quietly on the Maginot Line for so long. They never thought that the war would go on to this extent and they would be beaten back.
But at least, their establishment is still there. They have hardly suffered any loss. Now, as long as they seize here, they can go home.
For the French, Britain is not their home, so their retreat is not so tenacious. The British are different. At this time, their hearts are like arrows, which makes them burst out a strong combat effectiveness.
They didn't seem to be driven here in frustration, but like winners, they could easily crush the German army opposite.
At this time, the city of Calais is still quiet, but this silence makes people feel more afraid.
Go, go!
The advantage of the Germans lies in the armored forces. Once they enter the city, the armored forces are not so strong. They are easy to be close. Even the use of incendiary bottles can cause serious damage to them.
Tanks are not suitable for urban warfare.
Now, as long as they rush into the city, there is almost no suspense!
Calais city is built on an artificial island. Here is the canal. It has an ancient history. In the earliest times, it was only a fishing village.
Until 997, count Flanders improved the construction of Calais, and in 1224, count blogne built a fortress and fortified Calais.
Later, there was the terrible war between Britain and France. After resisting the British siege for one year, Calais ran out of ammunition and food and surrendered in 1346.
It can be seen that Calais was very important. As a city at that time, it was normal to dig a canal as a moat. After all, Calais needed to be guarded.
Now, the canal still exists. If the British army wants to pass, it can only take a few bridges on the canal.
Opposite, quietly, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Scottish guard of the 12th brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division rushed to the front.
With Lee Enfield rifles in their hands and pointed bayonets on the front end of the rifles, they stepped on the bridge on the canal here in this foggy morning.
Montgomery in the back, holding his telescope, looked into the distance. At this time, he almost held his breath.
Years of experience made him keenly aware that the risk was at this time. As long as they could cross the bridge, enter the urban area and fight in the streets, they would not be afraid of anything.
There is still no movement on the other side. Maybe the other party is still sleeping at this time, or maybe the other party is already rubbing his hands and preparing to destroy his own side.
The soldiers in front are still running forward, running, running, with strong thighs and firm steps. The front soldier has run across the bridge.
In that case, should it be all right? It seems that the Germans sometimes neglect.
"Boom!" Just then, with a loud noise, several British soldiers in front stepped on mines and were blown up.
Then came the terrible sound of a chainsaw.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" On the other side, the MG34 machine guns of the Germans in full combat readiness are fiercely shooting at them. Under the dense bullet rain, the soldiers in the front row have no time to escape. Moreover, there is nothing nearby to escape. They are swept down. They scream and reap their lives with machine guns.
The other side has a total of more than a dozen machine gun fire points to form a dense fire network. Under cross shooting, it is impossible to break through this kind of fire!
At the same time, Montgomery relaxed.
This shows that the guards here are still only an expected infantry battalion. Although they have an advantage, their own side will not be afraid.
"Machine gun, suppress the opponent, mortar, kill the fire point!" He gave orders calmly.
In the war, machine gun is a very powerful weapon. In the Verdun meat grinder, most of the dead were killed by machine gun bullets.
However, there is no way to deal with machine guns. The simplest thing is to use your own machine guns to suppress each other. The more complex thing is to use guns to deal with them!
As an infantry division, Montgomery has a certain proportion of artillery in his army. However, in order to get to Calais quickly, he can only abandon all his artillery. Now, there are only portable mortars in his army except machine guns.
After hearing his order, the mortar Gunners in the team acted quickly. For them, time is life.
During World War II, the British invented a lot of strange things, such as sticky bullets. Before exploding people, stick to yourself first, and then, for example, the pocket version of the current 2-inch mortar.
