Chapter 737 Germany's main attack direction
This Junker-290 is just the first one, and a larger fleet of aircraft flew behind it one after another.
In this case, the anti-aircraft guns below are sparse.
The troops were moved away in large numbers, including the anti-aircraft artillery, and a group of troops were also moved away. The remaining troops here were temporarily recruited from the rear because they were very busy today, and many people were not even assigned new positions!
Many anti-aircraft gun positions were empty, and only the ships from the port began to sprinkle bullets into the sky. Unfortunately, the shooting height was limited, so they could not hit the Junker-290 in the sky.
High-altitude bombing, using radio guidance to greatly improve hit accuracy and achieve the purpose of acupuncture attacks. Whether it is strategy or specific tactics, Germany is at the forefront of the world!
For example now.
bl9.2233mm coastal cannon, the main cannon guarding Plymouth, suffered a devastating blow!
The bombs flying in the sky were like eyes, guarding the anti-aircraft gun positions next to the coastal cannons. They originally planned to attack bombers in the sky, but when the bombs flew, they immediately changed their muzzles and began to shoot at the flying bomb.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to hit a free-fall bomb, especially this kind of bomb, which can change directions halfway!
"Boom!" The 233mm coastal cannon burst out with a loud noise, shaking the sky and the earth, and the landslides and cracks. When other people looked over with their terrified eyes, they saw that the hill where the coastal cannon was located had disappeared!
The bomb dropped by Germany detonated the ammunition next to the coastal cannon! It was the same as the turret of a battleship that exploded! The entire hill was cut down dozens of meters! The power made people smell and discolored!
"No, I don't want to die." A soldier holding a gun was trembling. Obviously the explosion over there scared him. He actually stood up and shouted loudly. Then, throwing the gun down, he was about to run back.
"Come back!" the platoon leader shouted loudly.
He didn't look back, obviously frightened.
"TuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTuTu
"Everyone stays on your own position!" The platoon leader was a veteran, shooting deserters on the battlefield without blinking. When he was in Verdun, if he had not had such a method, the front would have collapsed long ago.
Germany's first round of bombers destroyed all the large-caliber coastal defense guns from the main force here!
When the bomber flew over, Sir Nelty Ramsey happened to return to his headquarters, and he immediately discovered that something was wrong.
Why did the German suddenly run to his own side to bomb?
For a long time, Germans have flew directly from Calais to the United Kingdom, various bases in the south, as well as the capital London, etc.
The Germans had no interest in Plymouth.
After all, there are not many warships here. Important British warships are all in the West Coast base. Thousands of tons of frigates are just better than nothing.
The shipyard here is indeed starting construction to build new warships, but many people are not optimistic about it. It will take at least more than a year to build a new warship. Maybe it will be cheaper for the Germans in the end, so it is almost a conclusion that the Germans will not bomb the here.
Especially now, when the German army has been fighting fiercely in Dover for more than ten hours, and when a large number of fighter planes are fighting over the Dover Strait, the Germans' main attack direction has almost been determined.
Now, what are the Germans coming here? An ominous premonition enveloped Ramsey's heart, and he couldn't help but say: "Come on, report to London, the Germans may land in our Plymouth!"
When the emergency report from the Plymouth base was sent to the Prime Minister's Office, Churchill had just got off the plane and returned to his Downing Street office. Here, the first report he received was actually from Plymouth!
"Sir Ramsey is really too careful. The Germans fought fiercely in Dover. How could they land in Plymouth? It is nearly four hundred kilometers away from London!" Churchill just shook his head.
"Sir Ramsey hopes to dispatch a large number of fighter jets, especially Spitfire, to go over Plymouth to help them fight off German bombers," the assistant said.
Originally, Plymouth belonged to District 10, which was different from District 11 in London. However, the last night bombing of the Germans destroyed the fighter troops in District 11. Therefore, with Churchill's intervention, General Dowding had to mobilize fighter jets from other areas to District 11, where the war was most likely to break out.
In this way, there are fewer fighter jets left in Zone 10, especially the best-performing Spitfire fighter jets. In Zone 10, there is only one squadron. Since the Spitfire factory was blown up, they would not have thought of producing qualified Spitfire fighter jets within a few months.
Sir Ramsey hopes that London will mobilize fighter planes. This is simply a joke. Didn’t you see the battle above Dover?
"Tell Ramsey that he should keep Plymouth, this is an order, and at the same time, don't let him imagine any reinforcements. The armed forces under his command are enough." Churchill said: "Give me the war report of Dover. Why can't we eliminate the German troops that have landed on the landing until now? What are they doing?"
Now, Churchill did not expect the severity of the situation at all. Neither the senior commanders of all the empires present had expected that after all, the Dover War was at its most intense moment, and the two sides had used so much armed forces, and the Germans must have made a concerted effort to advance.
And now, the Germans actually went to bomb Plymouth? That must have been luring the tiger away from the mountain, wanting to divide their troops to support Plymouth and relieve the pressure here.
I won't be fooled!
After receiving Churchill's scolding, Sir Ramsey looked at the sky nervously, with hundreds of Junker-88 dive bombers and countless HS129 attack aircraft flying towards them!
"Tell London again that Plymouth is the main attack direction of the Germans, and we will fight to the last one!" Sir Ramsey's eyes were extremely cold.
He had seen through the German plan and attacked Dover with great clamor. His real target was his own side! The most unfortunate thing is that until now, Churchill has not yet made a clear judgment.
That Cirick is really terrible. Every time he uses troops, he is superb. Being his enemy is really a kind of sadness.
