Chapter 532: Marines

In history, Germany did have a navy landed ashore, but it was not called the Marine Corps at that time, but was called the Naval Infantry Division.
Their experience was actually similar to that of Soviet soldiers, mainly because they had no warships in their hands.
When Bismarck sank into the icy ocean, and when the German navy’s surface ships lost Hitler’s trust, Hitler even ordered the guns of the old warships to be removed and used as shore defense guns. In this way, a large number of naval officers and soldiers would There is no equipment to operate.
However, their sense of seeking war is very strong. Under such circumstances, they have transformed into an infantry division, still with the navy establishment and the navy rank, but they are doing the work of fighting on land.
This became the naval infantry division, their combat effectiveness is very strong, even known as the Blue SS.
But now, it is different from the historical situation.
The German Navy is constantly expanding its scale and is using victories to prove its value. The Navy is developing in great strides.
And one of the navy's combat goals is to cross the sea to land in the UK. The first troops to land are the Marines!
From formation to training, they are all aimed at landing in the UK. Of course, they have not expected that one day they will land in the United States across the sea.
At the foot, there is a four thousand-ton tank landing ship. Rear Admiral Ernst Xue Allen, the commander of the division, is standing on the bridge with high spirits.
This is the first battle of the Marines, and they must show their style!
He is very confident. After all, he has studied Brest dozens of times. The beach there is the most ideal place for landing. More importantly, until now, the French have no defense and no arrangement. Any counterattack position is simply an ideal landing field!
At the same time, he was quite confident in the landing ship under his feet. After many studies and even made a model, they finally found the correct plan for the landing ship.
This landing ship has a full-length meter seat, a maximum ship width of meters, and a minimum draft of meters.
As a landing ship, the biggest feature is that through a ballast tank, the draught can be changed, and the bow of the ship can be slightly raised when landing on the beach, so that tanks and vehicles can land more easily.
At the same time, a special door is designed on the bow of the ship so that the vehicles inside can be driven directly.
Now, on the lower deck of the landing ship, twenty Panther tanks are loaded, which are their main battle weapons. With these tanks, they can be more confident in the beach landing!
For this reason, the army of the German Wehrmacht was very upset. If the SS robbed them for equipment, they recognized it, but they did not expect that even the navy was robbing them for equipment now!
Their Sixth Armored Division did not have enough Panther tanks and had to equip them with Destroyer Stalker tanks. At the same time, the newly formed Marine Corps took away more than a hundred of their Panther tanks. Vehicles!
However, in front of the head of Cyric, although the Wehrmacht was not happy, they did not dare to say anything.
This made Major General Ernst very happy. This time, we must let the Defence Forces see that the Marine Corps can fight tough battles. This batch of equipment was not given to them in vain.
At the stern of the landing ship, there are four horsepower marine diesel engines directly transplanted from the diesel engines on the submarine. These four diesel engines can drive the landing ship to a high speed of about knots.
In this way, they set off from the Spanish port at night, but also need to reach Brest at dusk.
And Skorzner, who arrived earlier, needs to stick to this day.
They were not fighting alone. Just when they seized the vault and repelled the attack of the surrounding French soldiers, the carrier-based aircraft of the German aircraft carrier formation and the Junker-bomber taking off from the Spanish air base had already flown there. The sky over Brest!
The German plan is very sophisticated! Cooperate very well!
In the port, the "Jan of Arc" and "E-Belden" have always been in a state of action at any time. Their boilers have not been turned off, and the internal steam pressure is also in a state of being activated at any time. Once needed, as long as Add fire and start immediately.
And now, when they found a fleet of aircraft flying in the sky, they were immediately involved in combat.
"Quick, quick, quick!" a gunner shouted loudly. His subordinates, several French naval officers and soldiers, were shaking the high-low machine quickly, letting the dl-mm high-level dual-purpose secondary gun in his hand quickly Point to the sky.
Although they are in action at any time, the generators on the ship are still not started, without electricity, they can only use manual methods.
The high and low machines shook in a circle, and the gunners on both sides turned their arms quickly at this time. They also knew that time is running out, and they must be fast!
However, the gunner kept tracking the target, but finally put down the telescope helplessly.
Not enough height! It's beyond the shooting world! This high-level dual-purpose gun of our own ~EbookFREE.me~ cannot raise the muzzle above a degree angle, and now the opponent's flying attitude is just outside our own firepower range.
He had no choice but to give up the attack, and at the same time, on the civilian pier on the other side, the exclamation sound had been continuously heard.
These panicked French civilians suddenly became more frightened when they saw the bomber flying overhead, painted with a terrible cross sign.
As a result, they no longer fear the sailors standing guard, coming towards the pier here, they want to board the warship!
The arrival of the German bombers made the civilians panic. Several soldiers standing guard on the dock of the military port were instantly swept away by the flow of people. Then, countless people rushed here!
"Raise the anchor and leave the port!" The captain was on the bridge, seeing all this, and immediately issued an order.
Those people can’t be boarded on a warship because they have a mission, but if the opponent comes up, can they shoot with a machine gun?
Quickly leave the port!
At this time, black smoke came out from the chimney, the propeller at the tail turned, and the huge hull slowly left the dock.
"No, wait for me!" A civilian who ran the fastest, threw away his hat and suitcase, and ran over quickly, his eyes watching the warship gradually leave, very anxious.
When he ran over, the warship had already left the dock several meters! He didn't stop, speeded up, and then jumped out!
Only half a meter away, he could jump onto the boat, and now, his speed was exhausted, and then he fell off.
He is struggling in the water, he can't swim!
Facing this civilian, the soldier at the stern silently dropped a swimming ring.
They are fighters, and their duty is to protect civilians, but now, they cannot protect the people of their country!
