Chapter 562 The Longest Day (Plus 23)

"Slip." At this moment, suddenly, Darlan's feet slipped.

This can't be blamed on Darlan. After all, he is already old, over fifty years old, and his body is unbalanced. He wanted to rush up, but he fell down.

At the same time, his fall also saved his life.

The dense bullets of the opponent almost rubbed his scalp and flew past. If he hadn't fallen, he would have been shot by bullets.

"General!" The guard on the side wanted to pull him, but his body was shocked, and then he fell, and the dense bullets shot towards this side. At this time, the German tanks were so fierce.

After the bullets passed, the tank arrived. Darlan looked at the other side's crawler and rolled over half a meter away from him. He crushed the guards next to him into flesh, and blood sprayed on Darlan's face. I suddenly had the urge to vomit.

At this time, his grenade was right next to him. If he launched an attack, he would be able to shove the grenade under the opponent's crawler. However, he suddenly felt that his body was soft and lacked any strength.

So, he could only lie there, like a dead man, looking at the tank and continuing to rumble forward.

The rain continued to fall, and Darlan felt tears flowing from his eyes. He seemed to have a premonition that the attack he launched had nothing but more casualties.

He failed, France, and was hopeless.

The tank is still moving forward, rolling over, and the captain, who is exposed outside, is soaking wet. He doesn't know how many drums he has changed. The barrel of his submachine gun is constantly steaming, and you can even see it. Slightly reddened.

Suddenly, in front of him, he seemed to see something, and immediately shouted loudly: "Quick, stop, prepare armor-piercing bullets!"

After speaking, he suddenly retracted into the turret.

Just in front of you, dozens of meters away, there seems to be a behemoth, very much like a tank!

All the way to kill, they used light weapons, tank guns are useless at this time, and now, suddenly encountering the opponent's tank, they immediately entered a state of battle.

The loader also retracted and quickly moved the shells from behind, and at this time, the gunner had already set his sights on the sight and was ready to fire.

In fact, their tanks are equipped with night vision goggles, which can at least ensure the aiming of the target at a distance of 500 meters, but now, in the heavy rain, the night vision goggles have long since failed.

So that they barely found each other at a distance of tens of meters.

But so what? Even if the two sides encounter each other suddenly, without using their own tank guns, they will destroy the other side by means of impact!

"Filled!" the loader yelled.

"Ready to fire!" the commander shouted loudly.

At the same time, they also observed that the opposite tank was also aiming at them. The high gun barrel looked familiar!

and many more!

"Crack!" At this moment, another thunderstorm appeared in the sky. With the flash of lightning, they could see the opposite side, which was the Panther 3 tank! It's your own reinforcements!

Almost had an accident!

The 50mm tank gun of the Panther 2 cannot penetrate the main armor of the Panther 3, but the current 88mm gun of the Panther 3 can send the Panther 2 to hell.

In an instant, walking around the edge of life and death, no one felt afraid. At this time, they were already occupied by joy.

"Telegram back at once, our reinforcements have arrived!" the commander shouted to the radio operator.

After a lot of hard work, we finally waited for the arrival of reinforcements!

The first division of the German Marine Corps, driving the Panther 3 tanks, after landing in the evening, marched all the way, and finally arrived at the battlefield to support the special forces that airborne a day ago!

When they rushed to the battlefield, they were already shocked by the situation on the battlefield.

On the ground, the blood pooled into a stream, and the corpses of the French soldiers fell to the ground in various ways.

Especially where the German army's defense line is located, it is even more appalling. There are corpses everywhere, and some soldiers have several bayonets stuck in their bodies. The corpses here are actually stacked several layers high!

In this battle, the German special forces suffered more than 300 casualties, the first heavy casualties since their establishment. However, the French soldiers they eliminated exceeded 4,000!

They firmly controlled the position, and there was no change of hands. In the center of the position, in the manor, Skorzeny was still smoking a cigarette calmly. He had filled the passage of the vault with explosives, and the switch, Just as far as he could reach, the people around him, except Morris, were sent up.

The rain has stopped.

Looking at the watch, the hands are just past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and it is a new day.

And Skorzeny's special forces stood here for 24 hours, which was the longest day in many of their lives.

"Crack." Rear Admiral Ernst Xue Allen, commander of the First Marine Division, saluted the colonel in front of him: "Colonel, I am ordered to reinforce."

Skorzeny returned a military salute: "I was ordered to stand until reinforcements arrive, and now, it's up to you."

Skorzeny looked like a tough man, which made the Marine Corps personnel present incomparably admire him.

Skorzeny did not go to the front line and stayed here all the time. However, he was under the greatest pressure. Even if he died, he could not let the French get the gold. This was Skorzeny's mission. .

Now, he finally completed another difficult task!

Their mission is over, and the Marines' mission is not yet. They need to transport all this gold overnight, load it on a merchant ship, and send it back to Germany!

Only when these golds really return to German soil can this operation be considered to come to an end.

Skorzeny turned his head and walked outside. He needed to see the casualties of his troops. Although he was firm just now, every soldier was carefully selected by him, and he was the most capable. The go-getter, now, many people, have been sleeping outside.

He took a few steps and remembered something: "Before we arrived, a batch of gold had already been transported here, and it should still be in the urban area of ​​Brest, but this batch of gold cannot be lost."

"Don't worry, I will inform the brothers." Ernst said.
