The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 378 The Sinking of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets 5 (Thanks Red Flower)

In the early morning of March 1941, 3, the sky over the English Channel was covered with battle clouds, and the aerial bombing that the Germans had stopped for two days was staged again.

In this bombing, under the suggestion of the Chinese Defense Force Military Observation (Staff) Group, the Luftwaffe and Navy adopted a "close bombing" approach to the UK.

In the air, the "high pressure" of 1200 aircraft was maintained at any time; at sea, the German Navy divided into several aircraft carrier formations and approached the British coast, pretending to log out for combat. On the other hand, it also dispatched aircraft carrier-based aircraft and called the air force for support.

The Royal Air Force, on the other hand, did not dare to fly over the Channel at all, except for the planes that gathered around London to fight the Germans.Because although the night attack on Germany two days ago was successful, the British Air Force also suffered a lot of losses, and also lost nearly a thousand fighter planes and bombers.The number of British aircraft in the country has never exceeded the reserve size of 6000.In other words, the British Air Force has lost half of its combat aircraft in the two days of German air raids and the British's own night raids.

The reason for this is radar.Historically, Germany’s bombing of Britain was not very successful, mainly because the British’s radar technology was more advanced than Germany’s; At that time, the warning time of the Germans was about 5 minutes longer than that of the British.And these 5 minutes are enough for the German rear airport and seaport to respond.

On this day, the "close-in bombing" of the Germans achieved unprecedented results. All British fortifications that dared to bombard the German fleet were repeatedly bombed by high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs from German aircraft.According to the deduction of the Chinese Defense Force Military Observer Group, at least 40.00% of the firepower points and artillery positions exposed by the British were destroyed.The same is true of the British's own statistics. Among the approximately 12000 artillery pieces with a caliber above 105 along the coast, the British lost 2800 artillery pieces that day.

The aircraft of the British Royal Air Force played very conservatively this day, which does not mean that the British are soft-hearted.Because of the success of the sneak attack on the night of the 14th.The British have developed a tactic that focuses on defense during the day and bombs the active forces of Germany at night.

Therefore, at night when the Germans took a routine rest, the British planes were dispatched again.It's just that the British saw the war too simply. After the Germans suffered a big loss, how could they be fooled again.

Almost all of the German ports and front-line airports have undergone tactical camouflage, and at the same time they are waiting for the British planes to come and attack them.

The British felt a little different when they flew over the German positions.Two days ago, when the British planes flew over the airport and the port, the Germans were in chaos. Although the Germans also implemented a blackout at night, the British pilots could hear the rapid and random shelling of the German anti-aircraft artillery positions.But this time when they flew over it, the Germans were calm and calm.

"Could it be that the German anti-aircraft artillery has no ammunition?" Some Royal Air Force pilots thought so.

However, when the British plane lowered its altitude and was preparing to bomb the target, "Boom tom tom tom..." The German anti-aircraft guns began to fight back with advanced intensive firepower!The British who were caught off guard immediately suffered heavy losses!However, the British aircraft, which suffered heavy losses, faced a great difficulty, that is, the bombing target was close at hand. Should they continue to drop bombs under fire, or should they turn around and fly back to the UK?

The British commanders of almost every bombing formation hesitated for a few seconds at this time, and in these few seconds, the losses of the British Air Force increased exponentially, and the British aircraft flew in the air like blossoming fireworks. He was beaten into the air and exploded!

Similarly, the "close combat" tactics of the German air defense force were also invented by the Chinese.In this era, except for the perverted Chinese Air Force, the air forces of other countries do not have precision bombing equipment. If the British want to achieve their goals, it is absolutely impossible to drop bombs at high altitudes. for maximum bombing effect.

The tactics of the Chinese National Defense Forces took advantage of this mentality of the British, and arranged a large number of air defense positions around important targets. Moreover, these positions happened to be at the position where the British had already lowered their altitude and were about to drop bombs, which gave the British a time difference.

In terms of anti-aircraft gun shooting tactics, the Chinese National Defense Forces also provided the Germans with some successful battle examples for their reference.

China in a parallel time and space really needs to count the top "inventions" that affect the world, and it may also focus on the military. A weak country and a weak faction can finally defeat a strong country and a strong faction, and only rely on superb military means. Success.For example, guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, guerrilla warfare combined with mobile warfare, such as melee night warfare, tunnel warfare, tunnel warfare, mine warfare, sparrow warfare, pocket warfare, etc. There are almost only things you can't think of, and nothing is impossible.

These military ideas, strategies and tactics are not only effective when a weak country confronts a strong country, but also have great value when a strong army collides with a strong army.In other words, the tactics of attacking the strong with the weak can also be used to attack the strong with the strong, and the effect is better.

Because of this, the Royal Air Force's attack on this night was completely a business of "stealing chickens and losing money".At least half of the planes were destroyed and damaged by the German air defense forces during the bombing, and the other half dropped bombs and even hit the planes at the airport, but those "planes" were just mock-ups, real Luftwaffe fighters, or Hidden in the cave dense forest, or turned to the rear.

In the early morning of the next day, the British plane had just flown back to the British mainland, and the Luftwaffe began a new day of bombing.This high-intensity bombing lasted for three consecutive days, and the Germans were finally ready.

At 1941 o'clock in the morning GMT on March 3, 19, most British people were still dreaming. Even the army on duty seemed listless because of continuous fighting and sacrifice.

At this time, the three German landing fleets and 35 army soldiers had quietly moved to the sea about 12 nautical miles away from the British mainland.

"Buzzing..." At 4:10, on the Isle of Wight in the English Channel, a soldier at a British Army coastal observation post suddenly heard the sound of an airplane in the air.

"Hey, the sky is still pitch black, why is there the sound of an airplane?" Soldier Horn walked out of the bunker with a rifle in his hand, wanting to see for himself.

"Oh my god, the German plane!" Horn looked up, and over the English Channel, hundreds of bright stars were crossing the channel and flying towards his head, "Field, Field, call quickly, the German plane is coming !"

"Company headquarters, company headquarters, I am observation post 17, German air strikes, German air strikes!" Hearing Horn's cry, soldier Field picked up the phone and reported to company headquarters.

"Understood!" The soldier on duty at the company headquarters said weakly. It was really a fuss, and it wasn't the first day that the Germans came to attack.In a permanent fortification about 300 meters later, the soldiers of the company headquarters put down their phones and squinted their eyes on the table.

This company of the British Army belongs to the southernmost guard post on the Isle of Wight. Its mission is to guard the air in the English Channel and the waters of about 150 square nautical miles. It must report immediately if there is a situation.

If this company can report in time, the defenders of Portsmouth and Havant can give an early warning 2 minutes in advance.

Fortunately, the scale of the German offensive this time was very large. There were more than 300 German planes just over the Isle of Wight. Therefore, the company did not report the news of the German air raid, but the security forces at the eastern end of the Isle of Wight did. The message was delivered in a timely manner.

"Field, Field, come out!" Horn yelled outside again after the German plane passed overhead.

"Horn, what are you doing?" Field was a little unhappy. The pre-dawn sleepiness was very fragrant, but he still jumped off the camp bed and walked out with a rifle in his hand.

"Field, listen, there seems to be movement on the sea." Horn said, pointing to the dark sea.

"Hey, it seems to be the sound of a ship's motor?" Field also heard it.

"Moreover, it's not one ship, but the motors of many ships." Horn continued what Field said.

"Yes, yes." Field affirmed.

"Field, tell me, is it the German fleet that is sailing on the sea at this time?" Horn said with some doubts.Two days ago, they all saw the German fleet, but the Germans did not achieve any results. Every afternoon when it was getting dark, the German fleet would withdraw to the south coast of the English Channel near the French territory.

"It must be. I heard from the company commander that because the Germans suddenly added three submarine formations, our fleet will basically not come out at night." Field said.

"Then shall we report to the company headquarters?" Horn was a little uncertain, because they only heard the sound of motors, and there were many motor sounds, but they didn't see any ships.

"I'll report." Field said without thinking.In his view, what he hears and what he sees can be reported, as long as the situation is reflected truthfully.

Just as Field turned around and walked into the bunker to pick up the phone, two black figures suddenly rushed towards Horn. At the same time, several other shadows followed Field closely and entered the bunker.

With a few screams, the British outpost fell into the hands of the Germans.

It turned out that although Portsmouth was scheduled for a detailed attack, the commander of the Portsmouth Group followed the advice of a staff officer and formulated a plan to occupy the Isle of Wight: before the large forces attacked Portsmouth, German frogs could be sent to attack. The human squad sneaked into Wight Island by the way, and after controlling the forward observation position, they quickly followed up with a battalion of infantry to consolidate the beachhead position, and then gradually expanded the results of the battle.
