Chapter 768 Blast Into Ruins (Plus 9)

When it comes to demolishing a house, the thermobaric bomb is definitely efficient enough, but at the same time, its cost is high enough to destroy a city at a low cost, so the shell is definitely the most suitable choice.

Like now.

Large-caliber naval guns are used for counter-shooting. If they are used to hit land, it is like killing chickens with bull knives.

"Boom!" The 305mm high-explosive bomb accurately hit the city of Tubrugg. When it hit the ground, a huge explosion sounded.

This sound will make people's eardrums break, which is like the coming of death!

In the huge explosion, the fire, accompanied by shrapnel and shock waves, spread outward.

The ground trembled as if an earthquake had occurred. In the air, the flying shrapnel and the high-temperature and high-pressure airflow strangled everything in the vicinity!

The first shell hit an open space in the city. Everything around was trembling, and an area the size of a basketball court was affected!

With the explosion point as the center, within a radius of 500 meters, the glass of all buildings will be shattered!

"boom!"

The second shell hit a three-story building. After the explosion, the three-story building collapsed and turned into ruins!

A 305mm shell is enough to tear through the opponent's hundreds of millimeters of armor and hit the target on the ground. It is absolutely no problem. Even the strongest fortress will be shattered under its attack!

This is also the reason why Hitler in history was infatuated with the Dora cannon.

Even just firing a battleship's naval guns can bring a huge threat to the city, and now, not one or two, but hundreds of naval guns! There are dozens of large-caliber naval guns!

The entire sea was shrouded in the smoke of the naval guns. A salvo of the naval guns caused the 10,000-ton ship to retreat. The black smoke shrouded the shells that flew out constantly, as if the god of death was whistling. .

In the intensive bombardment of naval guns, the entire Tobrugg was trembling and trembling!

"Boom!" An artillery shell exploded almost a dozen meters away from the headquarters. When the huge roar sounded, everyone in the entire headquarters could not help but crouch down and cover their heads with their hands.

I don't know where to find a helmet, Wavell put it on his head, even so, he knew that this helmet was only used to protect the object from falling and hitting his head.

If a large-caliber grenade comes to them, the entire building will be destroyed, and they will all be killed.

But, with no other option, they have nowhere to go.

There are no particularly strong fortifications built here. After all, they have just arrived here, and those sandbag bunkers are of no use.

Even the underground fortifications of reinforced concrete cannot withstand the blow of such naval guns! The only thing that can counterattack is to dispatch planes to attack the outer fleet.

It is a pity that this is an impossible task for the current North African Army. If they are really dispatched, the German fleet will also pounce and destroy their living forces.

They can only be next to each other. No part of the whole city is absolutely safe. At this time, they can only pray for God's blessing.

"Boom!" A cannonball hit a fortification in a street. In an instant, the entire fortification was blown away, and dozens of soldiers were flying with flesh and blood.

Getting up from the ground, Commander Kalsi found his military cap again and put it on his head: "The 3rd Company, where's the 3rd Company? Quickly, rebuild the position!"

He was not afraid, as Australian soldiers, they are not born to be afraid! They only know that the other party's artillery attack cannot be carried out all the time. After the coverage is completed, the German army will come up.

For Tobrugg, the Germans are determined to win.

Then, street fighting will still happen! They have to be prepared. If the fortifications fly, they will be repaired again. In short, they will not give up! The entire Australian 9th Infantry Division, the same idea!

Covered by artillery fire, it took a full half an hour!

When everything was quiet again, the whole of Tobrugg seemed to have turned into a tattered cemetery.

"Anyone? Is there anyone alive?" Kalsi shouted loudly. At this time, one of his legs was crushed under a pile of bricks, and his upper body was still intact.

The lower body is no longer conscious, and he has no time to take care of himself, just shouting loudly, calling for his warriors.

"Crash." In the middle of the pile of waste rubble, a tall warrior emerged from it. There were bruises all over his body, and his head was still bleeding, but he still stood up.

"Company commander, 3rd row 2nd class Timshy is back!"

"Corporate Bogut of the Scouting Squad is back!"

"Machine Gunner Mark is back!"

The voices one by one made Carl full of relief. Just now, he thought that all his troops were killed in this shelling!

"Build fortifications immediately and prepare for street fighting!" he shouted loudly.

Two soldiers came over and pulled away the pieces on his body, only to see that his lower body was gone! Carl looked around, the tallest building was only one meter high, there were ruins everywhere, and the entire city was almost razed.

"Company 3, prepare to fight!" He used his last strength and shouted loudly, "As long as there is one soldier alive, we will not stop fighting!"

In the face of devastating shelling and more than 70% casualties, as the Australian Legion, they still did not collapse. Fighting to the last moment is their creed!

The indomitable spirit of the Australian soldiers is vividly reflected here. Their will to fight is hundreds of times more than the British soldiers, especially the senior British commanders!

Wavell was not injured, just when the last shot exploded near him, his captain of the guard rushed up and shielded him with his body, countless shrapnel, beat his captain into a hedgehog, and the blood was slow. Wavell's body.

"Cough, cough." Wavell coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of blood. Wavell was internally injured. When the shell exploded, the violent impact spread through the ground and slapped his chest.

Almost all the people around were there, only Klopp had a piece of shrapnel stuck in his head, and the blood was flowing, which was shocking to watch.

"The shelling has stopped, and the German attack is about to start." Klopp looked at the people present: "The casualties have not been counted, but I think we have no ability to stop the German attack."

Relying on the buildings in the city, they used anti-tank weapons to destroy the opponent's tanks at close range, and attacked their morale. When the German casualties were too large, they would retreat. This was the plan they made at the beginning.

However, when the shells of the naval guns flew, this plan went bankrupt, the whole city was in ruins, and their street fighting plan was impossible to implement!

They are not afraid of death, but they will not die without meaning!

Breakout? Don't even think about it! The other side's fleet is on the sea, and the German tank troops are surrounded by German tanks. They broke out and died even worse.

So, is there only one last option left?
