Imperial Overlord

: Four hundred and fifty-nine tragic landing battle

"The enemy's machine gun! Machine gun!" A German sergeant pointed to the British machine gun position that was firing continuously in the distance, and loudly reminded the machine gun on the assault boat behind him to suppress the fire.

The MG-42 machine gun mounted on the assault boat fired desperately, and the bullets flew to the distant British defense positions immediately. It is also unclear whether the suppression was successful or not. Anyway, the German soldiers on the springboard of the big ship can finally rush off the springboard.

Stepping on the corpses of the German soldiers who had fallen before, it was not known whether it was the wounded under his feet or the wounded around him screaming and shouting.

These German soldiers, one by one, rushed off the springboard in a crowded swarm, and then began to disperse desperately and organize an attack, just like the exercise.

"Follow me! The machine guns continue to be suppressed! I need everyone to find cover and consolidate their defensive positions as soon as possible!" command.

Then he stood up, and as soon as he took a step, he was shot in the chest by a bullet, blood spattered everywhere, and cracked on the helmets of the soldiers behind him.

The non-commissioned officer fell down, seeing that he could not survive at all. The German army around him had to continue to attack according to his order because it seemed more unsafe to stay in place.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Just as the German army was struggling on the beach, the German navy ironclad Lützow, which supported the landing, started its own shelling.

The six shells landed almost partially in front of and behind on British positions further out on the beach, setting off a patch of sand. The shelling seemed to be devastating, short-lived but effective.

More and more German soldiers boarded the beach from various conscripted ships. Although the beach was full of German corpses, some German troops had already entered an effective counter-attack distance.

The German soldier carrying the iron fist anti-tank bazooka felt that his steel helmet was beaten twice by his comrades. He picked up the slender bazooka and aimed it at the bunker in the distance.

"Fire!" He shouted the password loudly, as if to vent. Just now, he was beaten on the beach carrying his bazooka, and now it seems that the feng shui has turned.

The rockets dragged a long white smoke and flew to the machine gun bunker in the distance. An explosion followed, and the machine gun bunker was silent.

Although there is no guarantee that the rockets can accurately fly into the shooting holes of the machine gun bunkers and completely destroy those terrible bunkers, the huge explosion will also make the opponent stop shooting and gain precious time.

Braving the hail of bullets, the German soldiers pushed towards the barbed wire a little bit. The sappers were already clearing these guys blocking the road, and in some places, the British army didn't even set up such annoying things as barbed wire.

Because unlike history, the British mainland has been fatally suppressed this time. Therefore, the strength of supporting the defense line deployed here has dropped significantly, and the defenders do not have many heavy weapons to cooperate with the defense.

"Telegram to London! Telegram that the native Germans are violently attacking Jersey!" After confirming his position and knowing that the defense line was still intact, the commander of the British garrison, the unlucky major general issued a new order. .

He knew that if he could only rely on himself, he would not be able to stop the Germans from attacking, and he might have a chance of winning with his existing troops.

On British soil, the phone in the Prime Minister's residence was ringing non-stop, and Churchill was discussing with General Charles the possibility of an immediate naval strike.

Just now, he has learned that the Germans are crazy to attack Jersey. While ordering the Jersey defenders to hold their positions, Churchill got everyone he could.

Including the army chief of staff Sir Dill on the way, the fighter commander Dawding who has arrived here, and the naval commander Charles.

"There is no difference between a fighter jet and suicide. Jersey is closer to France than to the British mainland... The loss of rashly attacking us will be unbearable." Dawding shook his head and splashed cold water on Churchill's head.

Until now, the fighter force had not recovered from the losses at the Battle of Brest. With only a few hundred aircraft left in Dawding's hand, it was obviously the last card against the German landing on the mainland.

If this trump card is wasted now, the defense of the British mainland may collapse. Churchill didn't dare to be too worried, after all, he knew how difficult it was for the Air Force.

"What about the navy? Is it possible to dispatch early and join the battle in the evening?" Churchill found nothing on Dawding's side, and turned his attention to Charles.

Charles, whose surname is very famous in later generations, also did not intend to take risks with the fleet in his hand: "Sir, if the naval battleship is lost again, we will be even more passive in the Atlantic Ocean."

Churchill knew it was not feasible to push the navy within the operational radius of the Luftwaffe in broad daylight without the cover of the air force.

He looked at the clock on the far wall and said, "Then formulate the most suitable combat plan according to the feasibility! After nightfall, the navy will immediately rush to Jersey! Do you understand?"

"As ordered! Sir!" Hearing that Churchill finally obeyed and didn't give too much orders, Charles and Dawding quickly stood at attention and saluted, giving their promise.

When Churchill went to the door and waited anxiously for the Army Chief of Staff Sir Dill, Dowding looked at Charles and asked nervously: "The Battle of Jersey, in your opinion, will be a rehearsal for the Germans?"

Of course, Dawding was referring to the landing on the mainland, and Charles took this seriously: "I think it is very likely... The Germans lacked landing experience, so it makes sense to use Jersey as an experiment."

"If the Germans occupied Jersey before sunset, then our homeland would be in danger." Looking at Charles, Dawding made a simple guess.

Charles nodded in agreement and whispered to Dawding, "Yes, if Jersey is lost, we're almost done."

"I hope... Jersey can withstand it and stick to it until the evening." Dawding heard Charles' answer, his heart became even heavier, and he murmured.

Just in the British headquarters, when the battle for Jersey was in turmoil, a heroic German soldier climbed to the side of a British machine gun bunker holding a pack of explosives.

He pulled the fuse of the explosive pack, and after two silent counts, he stuffed the explosive pack into the machine gun hole of the British defenders.

Then the explosive pack exploded inside the bunker, directly knocking off the huge reinforced concrete roof. The camouflage net above flew high, and the German army also launched a new round of offensive.

In the sky, the Stuka bomber, which had killed most of the anti-aircraft guns, dived unscrupulously and pulled up, dropping bombs one after another precisely at the British targets on the ground.

The British soldiers in the trenches began to surrender. It was just ten o'clock in the morning when the German army successfully broke through the British coastal defense line.

But such a breakthrough was very cruel. Bright red blood flowed everywhere on the beach, the sea had turned pale red, and the bodies were pushed to the shore by the sea and piled into a sinuous black line.

The German soldiers who went ashore immediately went to support the front line, and the first group of German soldiers who landed on the front line were all sent back at this time to change their wet clothes and pants.

The cold winter landing operation may be much more complicated than the usual landing. The Germans had an absolute advantage, and they had the cover of the air force and navy, but they still paid a heavy price.

No one spoke, watching the medics press on the wounded screaming on the ground, the German soldiers changing their wet clothes were silent, and there was no more laughter and laughter in the past.

On the sea in the distance, the six main guns of the Lützow ironclad were still rhythmically roaring. Although there was only one battleship to support, the German air cover was shockingly large because of the good weather.

In addition to the 150 Stuka bombers, there were 50 JU-88 bombers tasked with bombing the town of St. Helier. These bombers almost baptized the entire island, leaving the island full of smoke.

"Victory! Long live!" A German soldier spread a huge flag on the ruins of a collapsed British machine gun bunker, and the soldiers around him helped him spread the huge flag.

The **** flag fluttered in the wind, and more German soldiers walked past the seaside with their weapons carrying dead bodies one by one. The first stage of the Jersey landing campaign was finally completed safely.

Riding a small boat, feeling the icy sea water splashing onto his face~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Division Commander Herman finally knew that the coldness of the North Atlantic was different from the calm Mediterranean.

Since the enemy had no heavy artillery and no naval counterattack, the loss of ships did not appear to be significant. And for this landing, the Germans actually prepared not many ships.

On the one hand, it is to simulate the forces used when landing in the UK, and on the other hand, it is also subject to the fact that it is impossible to find so many suitable ships in the southern English Channel.

Despite this, the Germans still showed their tenacious military qualities. They quickly opened up the situation, saving an entire hour from the estimated time in the above deduction.

"Sir! It's here!" A German officer reminded Hermann, who was thinking about things, and the latter realized that his ship had reached the shore.

Before he got off the boat, he saw the corpse pushed into a line by the waves, and he couldn't help frowning. Despite the lack of defenders, despite the rapid and violent German attack, the landing mission was successfully completed.

But the casualties were too heavy... Just by looking at it, Herman knew that there were no less than a hundred corpses in front of him. If you count the other side, it is estimated that 300 people died on the beach.
