Battle of the Third Reich

St. Margaret Bay, a hundred kilometers away from London, is now brightly lit. This famous seaside town used to be just an ordinary small fishing village. Due to its unique geographical environment, it has finally developed into a popular coastal resort. new·

Because the famous Dover White Cliffs stretched here and a gap suddenly appeared, a 1400-foot beach was naturally formed in the middle. At the end of the beach, the high cliffs stood again, and the terrain did not recover until Kingston began to calm down.

There is only this beach on the coast of more than 20 kilometers from Folkestone to Kingston, so this is a unique swimming sanctuary in the Dover area, which attracts a large number of people to cool down here every year. The local villagers built a large number of independent cabins along the beach, and built a lot of trestles that extend into the sea on the beach. One is to provide a dock for local fishing boats, and the other is to facilitate tourists to use fishing in the bay.

Captain Erhard Archibald Air Force pressed the radio headset with one hand, and recorded the contents of the call on the recording paper with the other hand.

"Let the soldiers continue to strengthen their positions. There are more enemies in the trap than we expected. Tonight will be a bitter battle. The general wants us to pay close attention to the enemy and enemy identification signals. Tonight there are many fighter squadrons that will participate in the hunt. All commanders must keep in mind that once the ceasefire signal is heard, even if the enemy plane stops at his muzzle, it is not allowed to fire. I don’t want another tragedy like Lance last time. No one can do this. We pleaded. This is the hand-held radio frequency assigned by our company and will be handed over to the soldiers of the artillery units later." The captain handed the recording paper in his hand to the sergeant battalion.

"Everyone has already learned the lesson. After all, it is an indelible stain in the honor of the Artillery Battalion. Everyone is holding their strength now and wants to use action to wash away the shame. Moreover, we have Feng this time. Major Fredberg’s troop support will not make the last mistake again, sir." The master chief took the recording paper and put it in a map bag around his waist.

Archibald took off the headphones and gave them back to the radio correspondent. Then he walked a few steps and stood on an ammunition box on the trestle. The anti-aircraft battalion commander turned around, facing the platoon commanders and artillery commanders gathered around him. He said fervently: "Just now, I had a conversation with General Bock. General Bock trusted everyone. He expressed his great expectations for our performance in this battle.

General Bock solemnly reminded me. The results of the battle tonight will directly affect the headquarters’ plan for subsequent operations. I am here, and everyone in the battalion must keep this in mind. We stand here, shouldering the expectations of the entire landing army, and the soldiers are watching us. The generals are watching us, the headquarters is watching us, the heads of state are watching us, the German people are watching us.

We must fight to the end. We must not live up to their expectations. Even if we die gloriously in this battle, there must be no withdrawal. You are all veterans. Many people have served in the battalion since the formation of the troops. I believe in your abilities and your courage and perseverance. We used to fight in Poland together. Fighting together in Belgium and France together, we won again and again. Now that we are fighting in England, I believe the final victory still belongs to our glorious German team.

Finally, I hope that all officers and soldiers in our battalion can do their best to do their best work. You have already got the specific task assignment. If you have any questions, please raise them now. Archibald lowered his head and put on his helmet again. He looked around the serious and silent men and nodded with satisfaction.

"Isn't it? Very good. Now that the whole battalion has entered the first-level combat readiness, officers at all levels will immediately return to their respective positions. Gentlemen, everything is for the motherland." The captain finished and stood upright, saluting his men.

"For the motherland! Hi, Reinhardt!" The officers and non-commissioned officers solemnly saluted and chanted slogans to their heads of state.

Captain Archibald’s air defense battalion is currently the only Air Force heavy anti-aircraft battalion that has landed in the UK. This specially strengthened air defense battalion has 24 brand new 88mm anti-aircraft guns. It took a lot of effort for logistics engineers to get these towed anti-aircraft guns ashore.

At the same time, there is also an air defense radar battalion assigned to the air defense forces in the landing area, equipped with four Wurzburg air defense fire control radars. This latest type of fire control radar has shown its excellent performance in the Calais air defense battle. performance. The two radars can cooperate with each other to obtain extremely accurate flight target parameters. The positive and negative errors are less than three meters. For the 88mm anti-aircraft artillery, the range of this kind of error is negligible.

Each radar can simultaneously command two anti-aircraft artillery companies to conduct joint shooting, and also install the latest enemy identification antenna. This new device will send an interrogation signal to the flying target within the radar exploration range. The transponder installed on the German aircraft will automatically reply with an identification signal and mark it on the radar display so that the ground can be easily identified There will be no tragedies of fratricidal killings if we go out of our enemy.

This technology was actually first invented and adopted by the British Air Force. It was originally intended to locate certain aircraft and distinguish them from the reflected waves of other aircraft. The result was eventually used in all military aircraft.

Now under the leadership of His Excellency the Head of State, the Luftwaffe soon possessed this equipment and received unanimous praise from all over the army.

In order to protect the Deere landing zone, the headquarters again conducted intelligence fraud against the British. The German army relied on the British command post and the seized code to pass on false landing point information to London. The purpose is to induce the British army to attack at the wrong location and delay the exposure of the real landing point.

The goal of the German military headquarters is very clear, that is to ensure that the landing zone can safely spend the first night, because after dawn, the German Air Force will fully take over the air control within a hundred kilometers of the landing zone, and the absolute air defense circle of the German fighter force will It will advance to the border of the county ten kilometers from the center of London, at which time the landing area will be truly safe.

The construction engineer of the Luftwaffe has completed the first runway advancement to the field airport. Two 600-meter long steel runways can take off and land six fighters at the same time. Ammunition and fuel supply equipment have all been installed. Air Force maintenance and logistics The staff are all on standby.

The German naval engineering force has laid four communication cables and two fuel pipes at the bottom of the strait, and is continuously pouring gasoline and diesel from the Belgian pump station to the temporary fuel storage station at the landing site.

The German Army engineers carried hundreds of rubber storage sacs with a reserve of five tons. This is a canvas oil sac coated with rubber. Engineers use excavating machinery to dig an area on the ground that is similar to this oil sac. An equal four-meter by two-meter deep pit, put the oil sac into the pit and start filling with fuel. After filling up, fill the soil with the pit and bury the oil sump underground, such a safe and reliable temporary oil storage That's it. The whole process only takes half an hour. As long as it is properly organized, it can be used for the construction of dozens of oil tanks.

When the fuel needs to be extracted, just open the fuel valve, and the pressure of the covered soil will automatically push the fuel out of the oil bladder. When the fuel is completely emptied, the logistics unit can choose to recycle or directly landfill it according to the situation at that time, of course. Choose to dig the overburden again and pour fuel again for reuse. However, according to the commander's opinion, this oil storage bladder is only a temporary emergency equipment, it is not recommended to use it as a regular facility.

At the same time, the Germans also carried hundreds of pre-made barrels of 200-liter rubber oil bags with axles and trailing arms in the middle. They looked like the rollers of a small road roller, and the outer layer was covered with two layers of rubber wheels. Engraved with anti-skid pattern, it can be hung behind the motor vehicle and dragged forward.

This kind of oil storage equipment under the name of Faben Chemical is the same as the soft oil bladder of the same brand in the front. It can be refueled by a portable fuel pump driven by a BMW motorcycle engine. This new configuration of fuel pump is also the invention of the head of state. The full set of equipment weighs less than forty kilograms and is distributed to the logistics platoon of each mobile company. As long as it is matched with the corresponding pipelines and valves, it can be sent to eight different The unit delivers fuel.

The inventors of the equipment that originally appeared at the end of World War II were wealthy Americans, but the head of state directly took out their designs ten years later, and even added similar records that he kept in the memory before crossing, and made such a. Set in the field oil storage set that will not fall behind during the Vietnam War.

In addition to these, the German head of state also equipped the logistics unit with a set of portable pneumatic tools, which are also powered by a motorcycle engine. The engine drives the air pump to pressurize the air tank, and the high-pressure air drives the tool equipped with an air motor through the duct. .

The existing basic equipment is some simple repair equipment, such as pneumatic wrenches and pneumatic screwdrivers, and a trained soldier can rely on these tools to complete the work that had to be done by several people in the past.

He can unload all the tires of a truck in three minutes and replace them with new ones at the same time, which previously took half an hour or even longer.

The logistics repair unit is completely addicted to this, especially the tank armor. Many captains said that each tank can be equipped with a set, which will greatly speed up their repair work in the field between battles, or even directly in the battle. Emergency repairs, such as replacing tank skirts and changing tracks. In the past, I could only stare at a pile of nuts, but now I can solve the problem neatly with a few efforts. Especially when replacing the load wheels and suspension systems, I used to rely on the board in the past and I really don’t know when to screw it. Now, as long as the valve is opened, it can be done in a few minutes.

The German Army and Air Force have become numb to the routines of the heads of state. They can only cross the chest to praise God, and this guy is on his own. (To be continued.)
