#557 Beach Landing (Plus 18)
Up to now, all kinds of data of the German Panther tanks are kept secret. The only exporting country is the island country. After the island country gets this kind of tank, if it is a treasure, it will not reveal any secrets.
Therefore, no one will know how abnormal the German Panther tank is. For example, if nothing else, in terms of cruising range, it exceeds 500 kilometers. At idle speed, the engine can run for more than ten hours. .
Moreover, when the German special forces came down, they used giant gliders. The huge load capacity of this glider can completely allow it to carry some fuel and ammunition.
They carried it for about three days. Now, the time has been shortened to one day. There is enough fuel and ammunition. There is no need to worry about the French war of attrition, which is doomed to fail.
At this time, it was already dusk.
The sea slapped the landing ship, and after more than ten hours of sailing, the huge fleet finally saw the port of Brest.
At this time, Brest had been bombed, black smoke was blowing everywhere, and the whole city was in panic.
Although there were some small episodes during the voyage, it did not affect the navigation of the entire fleet, and they still started on time.
On the 4,000-ton tank landing ship, Rear Admiral Ernst Xue Allen, holding a telescope, looked at the distant port. At this time, the entire port was shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, which had a unique beauty.
"Leave the port for the merchant ships behind us, and we will land directly on the beach!" said Major General Ernst.
The first division of their Marine Corps came by these tank landing ships, and was the first batch of military forces to land, and at the back, there were two other divisions, which were on merchant ships.
In contrast, the landing ship does not need to occupy the valuable dock space on the port, and simply land on the beach on one side.
Moreover, this landing is for future exercises.
In the process of landing in Britain in the future, there will not be such good conditions. They have to risk the strong firepower on the shore to land quickly, and landing on the beach is definitely the first choice.
Land on the beach!
Hearing his order, on the bridge, the bearded captain immediately ordered to inject seawater into the ballast tank at the back and raise the bow!
On the side of the port, the beach on the shore is also a tourist place. Enjoying the beautiful beach coast is the most unforgettable place to linger.
But now, the beach is empty and no one is there. During the war, who would think about playing.
There was only one young French boy, who came out of the slum at first sight, and was digging crabs on the beach. Although the nearby port was bombarded for a long time, it could not hinder his work. This was his dinner.
In any country, there are always poor people.
At this time, I took a small shovel and a small bucket with half a bucket of crabs in it. This kind of small crabs, after returning, should be raised in fresh water first to remove the sand from the body, and it will be more delicious.
At this moment, he raised his head and looked at the landing ships from a distance, rushing towards the beach here.
He was not afraid.
He just stared straight at it, watching the hull getting bigger and bigger, watching those ships, rushing towards this side.
It's very strange, aren't those ships afraid of running aground?
Just as he was watching, the first landing ship rushed up with a roar!
When the stern ballast tank is filled with water and the front is emptied, the hull has been tilted up, the front is high and the back is low. In this way, the entire landing ship rushed up directly toward the beach.
The hull in front left the water, washed up on the beach, and continued to charge several meters in front of the beach before it stopped.
The hatch in front of the bow was opened from both sides, and inside, the rumbling sound of the engine could be heard incessantly.
The Marine Corps is so domineering, this way of landing in France is the best way for the Marine Corps!
"Buzz, buzz." The tank operator stepped on the accelerator, and the Panther 3 tank rumbled out from the inside. The barrels were high. Their arrival marked a new stage in the battle against France!
One, another.
At this time, they have not yet entered the fighting state, so the captains of the tanks are all showing half of their bodies outside. They look at their tanks and drive onto the beach in France. They are extremely proud in their hearts.
The Marines are invincible!
Some people also saw the little boy on the beach next to him. At this time, the little boy was looking at these soldiers with timid eyes. He looked at the cross sign on the tank turret, and his two hands were going back and forth. He was clearly thinking about something.
At the same time that the tanks came out from the center, the infantrymen were also forming two lines, running fast from both sides towards the shore, as Marines, they had done this action countless times.
On the last tank, Major General Ernst was also in high spirits. When his tank drove off the landing ship, he saw the little boy next to him.
"Stop." For some reason, he suddenly had an idea to communicate with this little boy.
When the tank stopped, the little boy seemed to muster up his courage, stepped forward and said, "Do you want to buy these crabs from me? It only takes 5 centimes."
Obviously, this little boy wants to sell the crabs in his hand to these people.
"No need." Ernst dropped two cans from his side to the other side: "Take it and eat it, kid, don't worry, good days are coming soon."
Before World War II, Germany was a very peculiar country. It belonged to national socialism. Moreover, every household was truly prosperous, and ordinary workers could also afford a car.
In other countries, there are still classes, rich and poor. France prides itself as the largest country in Europe, and there are still many poor people in it.
And now, when Germany conquers these countries, it will also implement a series of systems in Germany, which is good news for these poor people.
The little boy was holding two cans, and he was full of respect for these people. Looking at the cross on the turret, he felt so kind.
Major General Ernst waved goodbye to the little boy as his tank continued to crush French soil.
Just like the old peasants in the manor, for the French commoners, whoever rules them is the same, and the real interests are damaged by the ruling class of this country.
The German system is the most advanced. Let Germany rule the whole of Europe. This is the mission given to Germany by God!
