"Boo!" Raising his Lee Enfield rifle, a British soldier hit a German soldier who was shooting with a G43 not far away. He squatted down, pulled the bolt out of the trench, pulled out the bullet casing and pushed it up again. As one of the few veterans of this Coast Guard Battalion, he envied the kind of rifle that the Germans could keep firing without stopping, but he only had his Lee Enfield rifle.
Lifting his rifle, he took a deep breath against the trench wall twice, adjusted his breathing and stood up again, aimed at a running German soldier, and once again tapped the trigger.
"Boo!" The gunshots sounded again, and the other soldier carrying the mp-44 assault rifle fell. The unique German machine gun, the horror he had heard in Dunkirk sounded, bullets hit the concrete fortifications not far away, and a white smoke splashed.
He saw three British soldiers hit by bullets and fell to the ground in pain. The Germans had a clear advantage in firepower. This is the experience he got after the only battle between Belgium and Germany.
He pulled the bolt to load the bullet again, then adjusted his breathing, and stood up again, aiming at a German soldier who rushed up, but this time he failed to trigger his trigger because of a flying A bullet penetrated his cheek, the bullet entered from the cheekbones, and flew away from his body with half of his face and ears.
The head hit the trench on the other side of the trench, and the British veteran was not immediately breathless. He looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and remembered the distant Dunkirk, his company commander who had been shot through the chest by the other sniper. If you want to shout, you can only blow out blood and bubbles. You can't sit up if you want someone to help you. The people around him watched him struggling, his eyes full of panic.
A German sniper not far away put away his special sighted rifle, followed by dozens of grenadiers jumping out of the trench and moving forward, they were only a few dozen from the trenches of the British defenders. M, after a short charge, they jumped into the trench where the British army was originally stationed.
The British soldiers inside wanted to pick up their weapons and fight back, but were sifted by the veteran German grenadier with an mp-44 assault rifle and a g43 automatic rifle. A British machine gun bunker not far away was burned into the oven by a German flamethrower. The British soldiers inside screamed like a pig, but then there was no sound.
This is already the last line of defense on the British coastline. Obviously, the German landing forces have penetrated the defense lines of the British defenders. Only a few strongholds remain, and the British forces are stubbornly resisting.
The German naval air force, which let the landing forces see through the autumn waters, also joined the battle circle, and Stuka screamed and blasted several bunkers that did not cover the German flag into fragments. The resistance of the British became weak, and the German soldiers began to smooth out the remaining firepower points one by one.
The Air Force ’s Stuka Type 2 attack aircraft flew over the coastline. They were ordered to destroy the British artillery position at the rear. With the accuracy of the bombing and the increasing number of German aircraft, the British long-range firepower also began to collapse and suffered heavy losses. After that, Germany finally stood firm on the coastline.
In fact, it is not to blame the late arrival of the German Air Force and the German Naval Air Force, because this morning the Royal Air Force took the unprecedented courage to cover their beach defense forces, and paid a near-annihilated price.
170 p-36 fighter jets from the nearby airport came out of the nest, and ran into a fierce air battle with 40 fw-190d fighters of the German Navy ’s aviation corps without loss. The first batch of fighters that took off from the German aircraft carrier to compete for air supremacy were simply fighter jets The pilot was forced to run out of ammunition and was forced to return.
So until the second wave of fw-190d fighters flew over the battlefield, the Royal Air Force was completely expelled from the landing airspace. In fact, it was not appropriate to be expelled, because almost all 170 British fighters were shot down. The nearby British Air Force struggled with all the personnel and equipment to make its own sky.
The British anti-aircraft position also fought back uncharacteristically, and did not preserve its strength as before, which caused unprecedented trouble for the Luftwaffe. Seventeen Stuka and three Stukka-2 aircraft were shot down, five fw-190d fighters were shot down, and the nearby anti-aircraft positions were all in smoke, with a loss of seven out of ten.
On the beach, finally a tank No. 3 drove on the British coast. The tank covered the infantry and rushed onto a small road, where it destroyed an anti-aircraft gun and overturned the British machine gun blockhouse not far away with the cannon.
The German grenadiers with tank cover recovered their feelings, and the attack was smoother and faster. At 10 o'clock, they had firmly controlled the beach head and began to organize troops to attack deep areas. About 20,000 elite German soldiers boarded the British coastline and began to advance towards their intended goal, Norwich.
The second tank, the third tank, and the German 5th Light Armored Division were slowly transported to the land. These crews that accompanied the 7th Army sweeping Belgium and northern France were not famous because of Rommel ’s famous name. However, the German commanders knew that this armored division, which was almost the earliest established in Germany, could definitely be regarded as a hundred-strike force.
In the command of the 4th Army of the British Army in Norwich, General Powell, commander-in-chief of the British 2nd Army near Norwich, was talking with General Montgomery on the phone. Last night, his troops were scorched by German paratroopers. There is no news of the 5th Army of the Beachhead Defense Forces.
"Yes! General Montgomery, my troops cannot support Beachhead now. If I fight back against Buckton now, I am afraid that my troops will meet the German landing troops halfway down the road ..." General Powell is good at defense. He is well-known for his soundness, and he feels that he should not rush back without knowing the scale and specific location of the German landing force.
In fact, although Buckton is not far away from the landing site, the defenders there have not reported the news of their attack except for gunfire and seeing a large number of German aircraft, which made the cautious Powell confused about the specific German attack. In the direction, he speculated that the location of the German attack should be closer to Great Yarmouth in the Netherlands and Belgium.
"I suggest that the 4th Division in my hands should reinforce Great Yarmouth to the east and the 14th Division to support Buckton to the north." He said to Montgomery: "The only independent armored unit nearby the 9th Armored Division will now attack the beach head , Dry the Germans into the sea. "
Montgomery certainly did not know that there were large-scale German paratroopers in the north and east of Norwich, and whether Powell ’s hands could take the German landing troops to the sea. But he still asked his deputy Powell to give a counterattack. He knew that if the Germans were not to lose the landing site immediately, then the German troops who landed ashore would definitely not be able to deal with the British recruits.
The airport near Norwich has been completely destroyed by German bombers, and the remaining ones have been equipped because there are no fighters. The British Air Force received orders to rush to Norwich from all directions, hoping to recapture important air dominance on the battlefield, but was hit hard by more German fighters.
As of 11 a.m., the British Air Force lost a total of 290 fighter jets in Norwich, close to half the number of British Air Forces in the entire southern United Kingdom. But the Luftwaffe is still firmly in control of air control, desperately defending their position as the European air hegemon.
At 11:05, the third large-scale air strike of the Luftwaffe arrived in Norwich. Under the clear sky, there were a total of 170 butcher strategic bombers and 120 do-217 and 70 Stuttgarts. These planes bombed the roads and railroads from Norwich to Buckton and to Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. The British 4th Army, which was crowded on the road, was blown up.
In fact, the British 4th Army is not far away from the German landing area, and it can even be said to be close by. It can be because of the violent snipers of German paratroopers and the collapse of roads and bridges. This short distance did not even go for 2 hours. By the way, even most of the army is still near the departure place. By this time, the German landing force had completely established its foothold on the beach.
Powell had no choice but to ask for reinforcements from nearby troops, but Churchill still dared not easily give up the defense lines near Dover and Brighton, fearing that the Germans would slam the west, and the second batch of landing options was in Dover. This was also a trick deceived by Arkato. After the German landing began, he clearly reported it and called Mussolini in Rome to declare that Germany would launch a second landing in the Dover area, which was close to London, England.
This is the advanced deception of the truth and the truth, depending on whether you believe in Churchill or not. Churchill, who had already been beaten by Germany, finally came up with a compromise plan with Montgomery, that is, using the only armored army in Montgomery's hands to go north, cooperate with the 4th Army to defend Norwich and drive the Germans off the sea.
The reason why Montgomery agreed to this plan is very simple. It is not a question of how many troops are mobilized to contain the Germans. It is a question of how many troops can be rushed to the combat area in time under the attack of the German superior air force. There is not much use when there are more people. Instead, many targets were sent to the Luftwaffe. So he agreed to Churchill's method of dispersing his troops, and led his armored army to go north without any return.
At the same time, the 5th Panzer Division of the 5th Panzer Army of Germany had all boarded the British beach, and more than 30,000 German soldiers had also landed safely. Soldiers of the SS Akkado Youth Corps began to storm the Buckton on their right, while the 1st Marine Division of the Navy was near the main road to Norwich, snipering the 4th Division of the British 4th Army desperately attacking the Germans.
