Battle of the Third Reich
Vol 5 Chapter 83: D Day (Wednesday)
After dawn, Guderian ordered the command guard battalion and the gendarmerie company to deploy personnel to form a search platoon, and began to search house-by-house for houses that landed in the occupied area.
This is the battlefield experience he gained in the French campaign. On the French front, Guderian's forces often encountered the situation of villagers and villagers along the road abandoned and fled, leaving only empty factories and houses for the Germans. However, the Germans found that in these villages and small towns, there will still be some people who still cherish their ancestors and love their homeland, among them the elderly and small businessmen. Among them are those who think they have little time and don’t want to suffer from the turbulence and displacement again. Some have their ancestors who can’t bear to leave their homeland. Of course, they have broken bowls and broken Germans. Because the family business is difficult to evacuate for a time, there are also wealth fans who want money to die, and even the German uncle came to me. There are good things for the criminals, anyway, there are all kinds of things.
One of the most headaches for the Germans is that there will be some French soldiers who have no way to go and the wounded soldiers are hiding in these empty houses. These French soldiers can't fight head-on. They secretly use black hands and black guns, but they are very good. The most dangerous ones are The small army led by the military officers would suffer a big loss if the Germans were not careful. The biggest loss of Guderian’s Fifth Armored Regiment was caused by close ambushes by infantry in a similar village, which was successively caused by France. The man used a burning flask and mine to kill a tank row.
The gendarmes and infantrymen searched and searched house by house along the street. Guderian’s cautiousness soon paid off. A gendarme platoon leader came to report that they found something interesting. He felt that the general should go over and see for himself .
Guderian’s only feeling at the time was that it was very interesting, not because of the reported incident, but because of this military policeman. This young military policeman had extraordinary guts and even made personal suggestions to a German army admiral.
But when he took a booklet from the Gendarmerie Ensign and turned over a few pages. Guderian completely changed his mind. The second lieutenant has a keen eye, which is really what he really wants to see.
"Notify General Bock immediately, I think he will also want to see it with his own eyes." Goodrian gave his order to his adjutant.
Soon, two German generals sat in the shiny black Mercedes, led by four gendarmes and three-wheeled motorcycles, and came to the central community of Deere.
"Commander, general, this is what I want you to see, exactly as written in this booklet." The lieutenant stepped forward and opened the door to show the two generals his findings.
"This is a complete set of street fortifications. Every building we saw in front of us was specially remodeled. With hidden crossfire points set up, the British turned this street into a dangerous hunting ground, and any A German soldier who walked into this block would become a prey. Fortunately, the hunters ran away before the arrival of the prey. I dare not imagine myself attacking this street. You should go inside to see it. Some of the layouts are very subtle and ingenious." The Gendarmerie Lieutenant pointed to the building in front of him and reported to Bock and Guderian.
"Home Guards Training Manual? I have read the British Army’s Battle Manual for Township Engineers before, which demonstrates many dangerous traps. I did not expect the British to come up with new town defense tactics. This should be used to train the nationals. Guards, when we advance inland, we may encounter such street fortifications as we advance. This resistance will increase, and we must study and find a response." Goodrian Said to Boke.
"It's interesting, Ensign, your discovery is very timely. Very valuable, you will get the award from the headquarters, what is your name." Bock nodded to the Ensign.
"Liszt. General, Willham Liszt." The lieutenant answered with a chest.
"Oh? I know another Liszt. He is also a sharp-eyed soldier. You are doing very well. I look forward to your future monetization. Can you show us this ingenious work now?" Boke said with a smile. .
"Of course I am willing, please, Commander, General." The second lieutenant stepped sideways and stretched out one hand in an inviting gesture. Then he took the two generals and a group of staff towards the barricade.
"Turn to the left, I made it very clear, left and left, are you deaf? Left!" Lieutenant Julian held the captain of the captain's command tower and yelled loudly at the radio microphone.
"It's hard to imagine that the armoured personnel carrier turned in the wrong direction again. Turn left from Wigginson Road to Duvir Road, and the British signs are there. Don’t they think about it and turn right Are they going back to the sea?" Julian returned the radio microphone to the soldier.
"We have been delayed here for too long. The order given to us was to arrive at West Cave Farm before 8 o'clock and meet the paratroopers there. It is now 7:10, if the troop carrier has not arrived We can only get on the road first and let them speed up to catch up." Julian leaned out and said to the sergeant major who was standing beside the tank.
"No traces of enemy troops were found nearby, but they should not be taken lightly. Each car paid attention to the observation. There was no need to leave the road. There is information that the British buried a lot of mines on the side of the road. Let's go and wait for armored vehicles."
"Observe the order, the platoon leader." The sergeant major saluted a military salute, and then ran toward his car.
Julian’s tank platoon is the third batch of armored troops to land. This is a reinforced platoon with six No. 3 tanks. This small tank with weak firepower can no longer cope with the existing armor confrontation, but it is fighting against enemy infantry units. As well as the position fortification attacks, there is still a lot of use. The No. 3 has a light body and flexible mechanical power, and is particularly suitable for galloping on such narrow country roads and ancient stone bridges, and Britain is full of such ancient roads and bridges. The German tank platoon roared on the road out of the town, and headed southwest with the cheers of the infantrymen in the trench outside the town.
"We look forward to meeting you, Lieutenant." Major Palag hung up the receiver of the radio, and then walked to the window of the farmhouse, looking at the British fortification position opposite with the telescope.
Parag’s paratrooper battalion is now in a very delicate situation. They ran into the vicinity of a British military base by mistake. They can be said to block the back door of this base.
After the parachute battalion assembled last night, they carried out a surprise attack on the enemy's rear targets marked on the map as planned. The battle process was remarkable, with more than a dozen road whistle cards and small-caliber anti-aircraft gun positions in succession. The paratroopers started very hard because they could not carry captives behind the enemy. Fortunately, there were no paratrooper casualties after several battles. .
The troops marched along the road toward Deer Beach, preparing to support and respond to the landing troops according to the plan. When they approached the farm, they received the latest order from the landing command and ordered the paratroopers to stop going to the beach in Dover. Between the inter-city highways were set up guard posts and blocking positions. At the same time cut off the telephone line, intercept the messenger and the scout, cut off the connection between the two places.
So Parag immediately ordered the paratroopers to stop advancing, and the scout immediately went to the farm in front of him to investigate. He was going to set up a battalion headquarters there, and then began to dig trenches and foxholes beside the highway, and maybe also set up a hidden observation post and Firepower.
The scouts quickly crawled back and brought news that surprised the paratroopers. The farm was requisitioned by the British army. Look at the vehicles parked in the yard, there should be no less than one platoon of infantry stationed inside.
Several paratroopers who had undergone rigorous special penetration training in Brandenburg first touched them. They used silent pistols and daggers to solve the gate and flanking outposts. Then a paratrooper platoon quietly sneaked into the farm. The British infantry sleeping in the barn were unprepared. In the sleep, one by one the German paratroopers cut their throats, so that this **** night was later called the night of the daggers by the paratroopers.
In the main house of the farmhouse, paratroopers captured several British officers who slept soundly, four lieutenants and a lieutenant colonel. The paratroopers dragged the four officers into the cellar of the farm. Then there was a very Germanic torture.
At first, the British were confused, and did not understand what was happening. One of them also shouted that he was Lieutenant Colonel Charlie of Dover Command. Looking for complaints from the paratroopers' bosses will definitely not allow the paratroopers to walk around.
It took more than a dozen slaps in a row for this poor guy to figure out the true identity of the fierce group in front of him, and suddenly he became paralyzed into a mud. Immediately after, the German paratroopers appeared in a stunned scene, and the lieutenant colonel with four shaking lieutenants began kneeling on the ground and begging for the German paratroopers in tears.
All these blame the group of uncrowned kings on Fleet Street. For propaganda, they have published some war stories made up in the newspapers. In these stories, the German paratroopers have always used bloodthirsty brutality, treacherous and vicious, murderous, unblinking, seizing He turned around and immediately chewed up. Their reputation in the British folks has been able to stop children from crying at night. In the end, even the army began to spread similar messages, and after much talk, even the people who wrote stories themselves Believe it.
For example, if they fall into the hands of German paratroopers, they don't want to leave alive at all. They have no compassion, never leave captives, and like to scalp to remember.
It took a lot of time for Parrague to figure out what happened, and then spent a lot of effort to convince the other party that a small part of those stories were fabricated, and the German paratroopers remained captive, as long as they were honest to explain, if If you can tell what interests the paratroopers, then you can keep your scalp.
Several British officials immediately scrambled to tell the German paratroopers what they knew, and Palag realized that he was in big trouble.
After dawn, Palag stood in the attic of the farmhouse and looked out the window. He was across the road from his farm. The field opposite was full of large and small semi-underground bunkers, and the open space in the middle was erected. Four large communication antennas with steel frame structure are obviously a large command center. With a superficial glance, Palag has identified two large underground bunkers, as well as tunnel openings connected to railroad tracks. Obviously there are even larger structures underground.
Fortunately, most of the perforations of these bunkers are directed towards the coast. The paratroopers are actually on the back of their positions, but there are several large machine gun forts on both sides of the base. The crossfire of these machine guns covers the entire base. , Apparently for the infantry who broke through the frontal defense line and rushed into the base.
"The Kent County Coastal Defense Command, which is also the Air Force Fighter Sector Command, was originally thought to have been completely destroyed. Now it seems that only a part of the above-ground buildings have been destroyed. The main body is underground. The British are working hard to restore the operation of this facility. This base is just between Dover and Deere, and the two roads on the side are the only road that Deere must go to Dover. The people in the base will soon find the abnormality of Deere You must find a way to get rid of it." The paratrooper battalion secretly made up his mind.
