Chapter 574: Swim back to Great Britain

Human beings are always constantly challenging their limits. As early as August 25, 1875, British man Matthew Wilbur took 21 hours and 45 minutes to swim without the aid of any artificial objects. Successfully swam across the English Channel and became the first person in history to swim across the English Channel.
On August 6, 1926, an American girl completed the feat of crossing the English Channel in 14 hours and 31 minutes.
They chose to travel from Calais to Dover on the opposite side. After all, this was the closest distance.
Now, since they have nowhere to go, they can only swim back!
Montgomery’s call immediately won the approval of the British soldiers.
Swim back! The other side of the strait is their home. They want to go back. They don't want to stay here as prisoners!
In fact, it is not necessary to swim over completely. As long as they drift off the coast, the German tanks will have nothing to do with them. As long as they persist in the sea and the opposite ship comes over, they can be rescued!
Montgomery took the lead and ran toward the sea. They didn't shrink back, they wanted to go home!
Even if half of his 3rd Infantry Division can retreat back, it is worth it.
With this thought in mind, Montgomery ran towards the sea, and behind him, a large number of soldiers followed, running and undressing.
At this time, don't be too elegant.
Anyone who has swam knows that it is impossible to swim in clothes. After the clothes are wet, the weight has increased several times, and people have to be dragged down by the clothes alive.
You can only take off your clothes, even if it's swimming in winter, you can't wear clothes.
Montgomery was the same, his uniform, his proud epaulettes, all his credentials, and his weapons were all left behind.
Not all soldiers can swim.
At this time, as proud warriors of Great Britain, as soldiers who ruled the entire earth and became a sunless empire, they developed the most respectable style.
Those who don’t know how to swim, those who know how to swim under cover, leave the hope of life to others, and the risk of death to themselves, who can’t let themselves swim?
They silently picked up the weapons and ammunition of the swimming soldiers, lay on the ground, tied the grenades into a bundle, and waited for that moment to come.
Brits, are you crazy?
Here, seeing the performance of the British was really beyond Dietrich's expectations.
The British actually want to escape across the sea?
Moreover, they still plan to swim back?
The location restrictions prevented him from seeing the other side of the strait in the distance. Ships were already setting off, preparing to take the army back here. Dietrich really thought the other side was going to swim back.
Let the other person go back? of course not!
"Order our tank troops to stop advancing temporarily, call the artillery of the division behind us, use multiple rocket launchers, and bomb the coast here!" Dietrich said.
Want to swim back? It's not that easy, let's blow up your heart-warming first!
Through the radio, the troops in the rear immediately launched a battle.
In the German organization, one armored division has one artillery regiment, while the SS armored division has a larger organization than normal, that is, they have two artillery regiments!
One of them is the howitzer regiment, and the other is the rocket launcher regiment.
Each artillery regiment consists of a regiment, a communications platoon, and two artillery battalions. Each battalion has three companies, each with four artillery, and the company has no artillery, so an artillery regiment has 24 artillery.
Due to the lack of equipment, many artillery regiments are still towed artillery, even if they are self-propelled, they also have wheeled chassis.
In fact, Germany's weapon output is already quite high, but the speed of Germany's military expansion is also quite fast, and the newly-built equipment is always unable to meet demand.
However, the Waffen-SS has the priority to choose. When other armored divisions, even with artillery with a wheeled chassis, are already satisfied, the Waffen-SS artillery regiment is equipped with tracks. The chassis!
Yes, it is the tracked chassis! At the beginning, Germany adopted the 20-ton Panther 2 tank plan for the sake of reducing the technical difficulty. Later, as the technology matured, the Panther 2 tank gradually fell to the edge of elimination.
Part of it was assigned to other troops, and part of it was transformed, and the current artillery regiment is equipped with suppression artillery using this Panther 2 chassis!
A violent thing!
This makes other troops envy, and there is no way, they are their own, and they are indeed the credit for fighting on the battlefield.
The chassis is the same model, but the top is changed. Above it is a German weapon, a 40-barrel 122mm rocket launcher. In the army, this weapon is affectionately called the Cyric organ tube. Moreover, in order not to cause damage during the march, these rockets were not installed in the orbit, but in the launch tube.
Although the chassis is the same, but after all they are suppressing firepower ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is behind the armored forces, even behind the armored grenadiers, that is to say, they are the back of the entire army.
However, they are able to give play to their firepower advantage at any time, because they have an advantage in range. The 122mm rocket launcher has a maximum range of 20 kilometers, which is enough to provide suppressing firepower at any time when the troops need it!
Now, it's finally time for them to play!
"Attention, in a battle formation, disperse!" The commander of the division's rocket launcher regiment shouted loudly on the radio.
When the order was given, his troops were still marching. After receiving the order, they saw one tracked chassis quickly adjusting their position. There were 24 launch vehicles arranged in two rows. 12 cars in a row.
At this time, the head of the regiment and the officers around him were the busiest.
Determine the exact location of one's own side, determine the location of the target, and then provide launching elements to one's own rocket artillery force.
The launch of a rocket launcher is different from the launch of a howitzer. The howitzer requires precise aiming. For example, if the troops in the front ask to kill a bunker on the opposite side, they must not miss it. Even if it is five meters away from the bunker, they cannot complete the mission.
The rocket launcher is not a weapon for point damage, but a weapon for surface damage, as long as it is roughly aimed.
So now, after they enter the firing state, it is enough to input the exact same shooting elements.
And the calculation of the shooting yuan is calculated by the group.
Their task is arduous. If the shooting Zhu Yuan is determined to be wrong, then there may be a missed situation. It is one thing to waste rockets. If it hits your own person's head, it will be troublesome. They all have to go to a military court!
The main way to determine the shooting elements is to rely on the shooting table. Mobile users please browse and read,
