Chapter 60 Bombing
Thank you all book friends for your attention and support. The plagiarist’s official account and Weibo have been blocked.
"How is that possible!" Da Xiong replied: "Our plane is still in Italy, and if it is our plane, it should be flying from the west instead of the east..."
Then the big bear opened his mouth for a long time without speaking, because at this time two bombers had already swooped down and dropped bombs on the British defense line.
"What's going on?" Big Bear said, some Zhang Er monks were confused.
Before Daxiong finished speaking, two bombs exploded within the British defense line. The shock caused by the explosion could even be felt by Qin Chuan and others one kilometer away.
That was the bomb dropped by the "Mosquito" bomber. There are many modifications of the "Mosquito" aircraft, the more successful of which is the light bomber... As mentioned before, the "Mosquito" is faster than the most advanced British fighter jets. , which is faster than the German fighter jets, so the "Mosquito" bomber does not need fighter jets to accompany it... Anyway, no fighter jets can catch up with it, so it is very safe.
Its disadvantage is that there is only one magazine under the belly of the aircraft and the space is small... The "mosquito" wooden structure of the wings is not suitable for mounting bombs, which allows it to carry only one bomb weighing 4,000 pounds, because the bomb is long. The tube looks like a packaged tube of "biscuits", so the British soldiers called it "biscuits".
Obviously, the two "Mosquito" bombers just dropped "biscuits" to indicate the bombing area for other bombers... The "Mosquito" bombers dropped bombs very accurately. The most classic example of the battle was "Operation Jericho": 6 "Mosquitoes" "Type" low-altitude bombing of the Gestapo headquarters in The Hague, Netherlands. The entire operation was very precise. The first two dropped bombs to blow a hole in the building, and the last two accurately threw incendiary bombs through the hole, successfully burning a large number of people. Archives protected underground resistance groups. This level of accuracy was only replicated decades later during the Gulf War.
Under the "instructions" of the "Mosquito" bombers, a large number of medium and heavy bombers followed quickly opened their magazines and dropped batches of bombs with whistling sounds. In an instant, the bombs were falling into pieces. There was an explosion in the British defense area, with streaks of fire, continuous vibrations, and a carpet-like layer of smoke on the ground... No wonder some people call it "carpet bombing."
Occasionally in the smoke, many "mosquitoes" could be seen swooping down and accurately dropping bombs on the cars, so the cars were blown to pieces one after another.
The bombing lasted for ten minutes... More than a hundred British bombers came up in several batches and dropped all the bombs they carried.
Qin Chuan thought that the British pilots would just cheer and celebrate in the air at this moment, but they did not expect that all the bombs they dropped just fell on their own people.
In fact, most of the German soldiers didn't expect it. Just like the big bear, they just looked at the scene in front of them and were dumbfounded... After the British plane flew away, it took a while before he looked back at Qin Chuan and asked: "Sergeant, what are you doing?" What magic was cast on them?"
Before Qin Chuan could answer, he heard an order: "All attack!"
This is a good opportunity to attack... Those aerial bombs have blown away the barbed wire fences, trenches, mines, etc. on the British defense line. Even many bunkers were not spared.
Of course, not all bunkers were blown up. The British army built bunkers very solidly and scattered them in the desert, so a considerable number of them survived the bombing.
But the problem is...
The smoke and dust raised by the bombing had covered everything, like a sandstorm blowing on the battlefield. The British soldiers in the bunker looked out from the firing holes and could not see anything in the vast white field.
Extremely nervous, they could only pull the trigger and shoot randomly outside... and this was exactly what they should not do, because this would guide the German soldiers to find the location of the bunker, and then grenades or explosive packets would come out of the perforations. Put in...
Qin Chuan, who was following the team, only heard explosions one after another from the front, and sometimes a mushroom cloud-like smoke exploded in the dust... That was the explosion of ammunition in the bunker.
The bunker is a closed space. An explosion inside means that the British soldiers inside cannot find even a piece of intact meat.
The German offensive was overwhelming, and they quickly broke through the red line and hit the blue line... Most of the mines between the red and blue lines were detonated, some were detonated directly by aerial bombs, and more were detonated by the vibrations produced by aerial bombs. Detonated, this made the German army fight all the way to the blue line as if they were in no man's land.
If the British troops on the blue line rise up to resist, it is still unclear who will win in the end.
But as mentioned before, most of the British troops staying in Tobruk were engineers with little fighting will and quality. They almost did not dare to pull the trigger when they looked at the incoming German troops because they believed that this battle would be inevitable. There is no doubt that he will lose, and he will eventually become a prisoner of the Germans. Pulling the trigger to kill the Germans will lead to German revenge.
In fact, what is more important is... the news that "you can survive as long as you surrender" from Tengetern, Tugra and other places has reached Tobruk. In addition, the British engineers are non-combat troops. For the British, in It is not a shame to choose to surrender when you think you can't resist, so large numbers of British troops gave up resistance.
When Qin Chuan rushed over with the team, what he saw were groups of British soldiers with their hands raised. German soldiers waved rifles and shouted at them to drive them out of the trenches and ordered them to pile their weapons outside the trenches. Together then line up on the other side.
The number of the British army was no less than that of the German army. The exact total strength of the British army was several times that of the German army, but they were completely defeated under the attack of the German army.
What surprised Qin Chuan even more was that he then saw armored vehicles and tanks within the defense line...
Of course, it is possible that the British army was caught off guard. They did not expect that the Germans would break through the red line and attack in front of them so quickly. Or the engineers have not received relevant training and therefore do not know how to use these tanks and armored vehicles.
But in any case, this is enough to illustrate one point... War is a combination of people and equipment, and one is indispensable.
"Look!" Werner, who rushed through the defense line first, spotted Qin Chuan in the crowd. He couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Our heroic sergeant is here!"
Before Qin Chuan could react, he was surrounded by a group of German soldiers and lifted him up. They threw Qin Chuan into the air again and again amid cheers.
Qinchuan could feel the excitement and joy of the German soldiers. It was a sign of hope, a chance to survive, a desperate counterattack...
But Qin Chuan felt that he couldn't bear this honor, because he knew that all he did was just to...live.
