What do Germans want? Will they blow up their barrage in anger?
stand a good chance! With the German personality, they will never tolerate failure. Yesterday's failure is a disgrace to the Germans. They actually gave up their equipment and ran away directly.
Why?
Of course, for the new tactics, they want to flood London!
In fact, Londoners did not experience it for the first time. On January 7, 1928, ten years ago, the river Thames overflowed the dam and poured into London. The flood inundated most of London.
When the flood broke the dam, it was in the middle of the night, and most Londoners were still asleep. When they woke up in the morning, the flood had poured into many famous buildings, such as the London parliament building and the tower of London.
The water in the narrower streets has reached 4 feet. Tall buildings such as Big Ben pour down, forming small waterfalls in downtown London.
After this incident, London established a flood warning system and rebuilt the Thames sluice to control the water level. Even so, the geographical location of London determines that they are still vulnerable to floods.
For example, as mentioned earlier, when the water level of the Thames River is too high during flood, it is easy to flood London. When the tide is flooding, the tide is also easy to go upstream. It can even cross London and go upstream for more than ten kilometers!
Needless to say, even in future generations, London may be flooded. For example, in 2014, London suddenly became Venice.
This is not a flood season. If the Germans want to flood London, they can only wait for the high tide. There are still a few hours for their own side to arrange it quickly!
With Hobert's order, anti-aircraft artillery troops were hurriedly mobilized around the barrage.
"Go, go, go! David, the artillery squad leader, shouted that his artillery squad was being dragged by heavy vehicles to the side of the barrage.
It is not easy to prevent German bombing, because German advanced strategic bombers are enough to fly to an altitude of 10000 meters, and what is more terrible is that they can accurately drop bombs at an altitude of 10000 meters.
Therefore, Britain must have anti-aircraft guns that can defend against this height!
While the heavy 4.5-inch antiaircraft gun was under intensive development, the British also improved their latest 3.7-mm heavy antiaircraft gun.
Converted to the metric system, it is 94 mm, which is thicker than the German 88 mm anti-aircraft gun. It has 50 times the caliber, the maximum horizontal range is 18800 meters, the maximum inclination is 12000 meters, and the maximum firing height is 9000 meters.
It can be said that this kind of anti-aircraft gun can not reach German bombers, but it is already their best.
It took them more than two hours to move from their original position. At this time, the re deployment of the anti-aircraft guns was also quite laborious.
Each gun is equipped with 11 gunners. David is a sergeant as the artillery commander. The second is the collimator responsible for horizontal angle, the third is the collimator responsible for pitch angle, the fourth is the shell fuse installer, the fifth is the loader, and the remaining six are "ammunition team members".
They all wore standard Khaki jumpsuits and standard Brown sleeveless leather vests. Everyone is wearing a mark I helmet, and the neck strap of the helmet is left behind, which is the biggest symbol of the artillery., If the gun is close to the barrel when firing, its impact force can lift the helmet. At this time, the neck band is tied around the neck, which may lead to serious injury or even death.
Now, several people moved the gun legs and were panting.
"Monitor, don't worry too much. It's more than half an hour from the high tide!" A loader said, "we haven't had breakfast yet!"
Indeed, when they just wanted to have breakfast, they were summoned, and now they are very hungry.
"No, we must put the guns in place and be ready to fire at any time. The Germans will come at any time."
It really takes more than half an hour for the tide to rise, but the barrage will be blown up by the Germans at any time!
What's the difference? Once the Germans blew up the barrage, it would be impossible for them to rebuild the dam.
Keep working!
Finally, the anti-aircraft guns were set up.
"Monitor, can we eat now?"
"OK, eat immediately. After eating, build a shelter." David said.
Although the anti-aircraft guns have been set up, the anti-aircraft gun positions have not been arranged, and the surrounding areas must be set up with sandbags. This is still a hard work.
Seeing that his men were really hungry, David finally decided to slow down first.
At least now, they have set up their anti-aircraft guns. As for the bunker, it is not particularly important. If the German large bomber comes, it is useless to have a bunker, that is, it has an advantage to carry a Stuka or something.
Hearing David's orders, they finally relaxed, sat down on the ground and began to eat bread.
"The food is getting worse and worse these days." A loader complained.
"Cook for a few more days. It'll be good when the American reinforcements arrive. It's said that Americans have transported a lot of cans for us to eat." Said the other.
In World War II, the United States was the least worried about supplies. American soldiers often complained that they were tired of eating cans every day. What about Britain? Even when the British royal family holds a banquet, the only thing they can hold is some cans. Noble guests are straight eyed when they see cans. Regardless of gentleman's etiquette, they almost rush into mass action.
Now, with the sea cut off by the Germans, the local food supply is becoming less and less.
"Hey, do you think the Germans will blow up our dam?" Asked the loader as he ate the bread.
Hearing this, David was stunned. He looked up and looked at the sky. If the dam was really bombed, his own positions would be flooded, and the trenches that hindered the passage of German tanks would become ditches.
But if so, how can the Germans fight? Their tanks can't pass. At most, the Germans just vent their anger!
During the war, everything was fast. More than ten minutes later, they hurried through a meal, went on to work and arranged bunkers.
It was also physical work. Soon, their backs were wet. They took off their clothes, bare their arms and continued to work for an hour. Finally, the shelter was built!
Sitting in the bunker, David took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed the cigarette box to the people around him.
One by one, in their mouth, this is their only quiet time.
Just after taking a breath, David heard the nagging loader around him and shouted again, "look!"
Look?
As high artillery, when they heard the word, they immediately looked up and looked into the sky, but now, there is nothing in the sky?
"Look at the sea!" The loader continued to shout.
All the people turned around and looked at the sea.
In fact, it's not the sea. It's also the mouth of the Thames River. It's just the time of high tide. The sea water poured in and the river turned blue.
On the river, they saw the most terrible scene.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
