Lieutenant General Mitchell did not hesitate and chose the most advantageous option to dispatch all aircraft to destroy the opponent's artillery. In fact, it was not all, just all the army and aviation aircraft. There was also an aircraft carrier in the port, but this aircraft carrier
He took it as a trump card, so he didn't move. 23us.
Fastest update
Some artillerymen have calculated that the opponent's artillery is at least thirty kilometers away from us. This distance is almost beyond the range of all the artillery in Gibraltar. You must know that there are not many large-caliber artillery in the Gibraltar Fortress, and the largest one is only 233.
mm coastal defense artillery, and these artillery are still in positions near the seaside. The artillery positions on the land are 155 mm mobile artillery. These artillery can't reach a place of thirty kilometers at all.
The main reason is that no one would have thought that Hitler would be so crazy. For a small area of six square kilometers, he would dispatch nearly 20 train guns. These are train guns, not cheap howitzers. There are not so many trains in the UK.
gun.
There was only one salvo. Since the firing frequencies of various train guns were different, the subsequent shells fell one after another. Only the eight K5s maintained the salvo frequency, firing almost every ten minutes.
.
All the planes in Gibraltar took off, and this time the pilots felt extremely tragic. They had seen the big craters on the planes' shells, and they knew very well that they might never be able to come back after taking off this time.
, many people have written suicide notes, and some even fell in love with a nurse or something before, and they got married on the spot, kissed each other, and got on the plane to take off. In the troubled times, there is not much space for them to fall in love.
Radar found a large number of light spots in Gibraltar, and the opponent's air force has been dispatched
The observation point found that the Gibraltar Fortress dispatched aviation forces. All personnel were dispatched. Repeat, Gibraltar dispatched all aircraft.
Every move of the British army in the Fortress of Gibraltar was actually monitored by the German observation points. Although the specific situation of the deployment of troops and generals could not be seen clearly, they still knew that the plane was taking off.
After receiving the news, the German and Spanish air forces immediately took off. The anti-aircraft guns around the train guns also rotated their barrels, ready to meet the enemy at any time. The target train guns also found camouflage cloth and began to equip their own train guns.
It's not that easy to find a train gun with clothes on and camouflage in the woods.
Tony drove his beloved Spitfire to form a formation with his friend Amity. He looked back and looked around. There were hundreds of aircraft forming a huge aviation formation, with bombers in the middle and fighter jets all around.
, their goal was to attack the train gun in the sky. The comrades around him did not make him feel reassured. He knew what he was facing.
Suddenly, a shout from the enemy plane made Tony feel a chill on his spine. He clearly saw a silver-white plane flashing past him very quickly. The plane was more than a little faster. What kind of plane was it?
But the plane just flashed past and was never seen again, which made Tony feel a little curious.
Then, Tony saw more than a dozen German fighter planes, all of which were fw190, the latest equipment of the German army in the intelligence, nicknamed Moxa. Moreover, these aircraft were obviously different from the photos in the intelligence, and they should be improved models.
Damn it, this is the main force of the German army. Everyone should be careful about the second and third detachments to meet the enemy. The rest should not be chaotic and continue the assault. Tony listened to the order coming from the radio, swallowed his saliva, and resisted the urge to meet the enemy.
Keep in mind the enemy's mood and continue the assault.
Even the slowest bomber would not need ten minutes to cover a distance of thirty kilometers. Although it took less than half an hour for the British troops to take off and assemble, they still had the advantage of being close, so these German fighter planes were already patrolling the sky above.
, only a dozen or so, and the British army has a fleet of hundreds. Although the German fighter planes are superior to the British fighters in terms of pilot experience and aircraft performance, they cannot stop this huge fleet. The fleet continues to attack the train artillery positions.
Flying away, the anti-aircraft guns on the ground began to roar.
The 20mm flak30 anti-aircraft gun fires like a machine gun, instantly forming a wide fire net. The shells fired by the 88mm anti-aircraft gun will kill no matter what kind of aircraft it is, and will damage it if it touches it. Looking down from the plane,
Although they could find the rails, it was too difficult to hit the target at a height of several thousand meters. After all, they only had this one chance.
Dive down because the order came from the British Empire Radio. Tony no longer hesitated, pressed the nose of the plane and rushed down. He had already made up his mind. If his plane was injured, he would find a train cannon to hit it. Only in this way, in the fortress
The people he values can be safe.
A large number of enemy planes appeared. A large number of enemy planes and bombers lowered their altitudes to bomb. The fighter jets came forward. There were shouts from the radio. Tony raised his head and saw countless black dots rushing towards him from all directions. The German Air Force
Reinforcements have arrived.
Come on, German devils. Tony only panicked for a moment, then firmed up. He shook the wings to notify his wingmen, and then pounced on them.
His opponent was a silver-white plane that he had never seen before. The plane shone with metallic light and there was not a single propeller in sight.
fortress of gibraltar
Lieutenant General Mitchell kept patrolling the fortress, talking to the soldiers from time to time in order to boost morale. He came to a ward in the war hospital and saw seven or eight people who had been bandaged and lying there.
Under the heavy artillery fire, being injured and surviving is actually a kind of luck.
General, you are here. A beautiful female nurse was chatting with the wounded soldier to comfort him. However, she saw that the wounded soldier suddenly wanted to struggle. She quickly turned around and saw Lieutenant General Mitchell.
Lieutenant General Mitchell held down the wounded soldier, greeted the other wounded soldiers, and told the nurse that you did a good job, thank you.
The nurse blushed and said: This is what I should do, General... Do you think we can hold on?
Lieutenant General Mitchell's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he said firmly that the sun never sets on the Empire and it will not fall. The Germans lost to us once, and there will be no difference this time.
That's right. We are still waiting to go to Berlin one day to kick Hitler's ass. A soldier on the bed next to him said weakly.
That's good, Corporal, then live a good life and let's kick Hitler's ass together outside, Lieutenant General Mitchell said with a laugh.
Is our plane back? A wounded soldier wearing an air force uniform asked. This was a soldier who was injured at the airport. He was about to get on the plane, but a shell that was clearly dozens of meters away from him hit him.
He fell to the ground, thanks to an airplane that blocked the shrapnel and rocks from the shells. Otherwise, he would have died.
Lieutenant General Mitchell's eyes also showed concern. He didn't know what the outcome would be. In fact, he just couldn't stand the torture of waiting, so he made the inspection. Anyway, the Air Force has an Air Force commander who can take command instead.
Report an urgent military situation. A noncommissioned officer walked in and said. Lieutenant General Mitchell stepped forward and took the battle report. He took a look and his eyes suddenly shrank. Just as the wounded soldiers and nurses were about to ask, there were loud explosions.
, looking at the dust falling from the ceiling, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. The German train guns opened fire again, so the result of the raid can be imagined.
General, where is our plane? The nurse asked nervously.
Lieutenant General Mitchell folded up the battle reports and slowly said that they had proved their bravery and loyalty with their lives.
After Nurse Tony screamed out a person's name, she fell to the ground, tears falling out in big drops. The corners of the eyes of the wounded soldiers next to her also turned red. Lieutenant General Mitchell looked at this scene with clenched teeth.
Bit, walked out of the door and said, gentlemen, let's start preparing for battle.
In fact, the British army's raid was not without effect. Fully five train guns were damaged to varying degrees due to British bombing or impact, and two were even completely damaged. One of them was a K5 train gun, but like this
The losses were nothing to the German army. For the next day, the German train guns kept firing shells at the fortress. On the second day, the Axis coalition bombers and fighter jets began to tentatively arrive at the fortress.
On the third day, the number of bombings on the fortress exceeded 300. The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the fortress could hardly stop for a minute. The last few anti-aircraft guns even exploded due to overheating, which shows the fierceness of the battle.
London
We have received information that the Italian Mediterranean Fleet has been dispatched, and their target may be Fleet H outside. An officer said to Churchill.
H Fleet Churchill asked curiously are the Italians crazy? The Gibraltar Fortress is still in our hands. It is impossible for them to win under the attack of the fortress artillery and H Fleet. No matter how many fleets they have dispatched, they are not afraid of our Mediterranean fleet attacking them.
His lair?
The officer immediately said that based on our intelligence, they dispatched three battleships and two heavy cruisers, among which the battleships should be the latest Veneto-class battleships.
Churchill frowned and asked what Mussolini was doing. Although such a force is slightly stronger than our H fleet, it cannot win. It’s hard to believe that the French fleet will also participate in the war. The ships of the French African fleet can protect themselves.
That’s pretty good.
Fleet H is a fleet stationed in Gibraltar commanded by Lord Somerville. At the beginning of the war, the whole army was composed of 2 battleships, Warriors Resolve, battlecruiser, aircraft carrier Ark Royal, 2 cruisers and 11 destroyers. At this time, only a few were lost.
A destroyer and a cruiser were injured and under repair, and the main force was still there. When the Germans were bombing, they also tried to bomb these fleets, but under the anti-aircraft artillery array that was waiting for them, they gave up and laid down the artillery positions of the fortress first.
Historically, the Italian Navy has been unable to solve its fuel problem, causing large warships to stop going to war due to fuel shortages since mid-June 1942. However, what is interesting is that when Hitler occupied Italy, he unexpectedly discovered that Italy actually
There are a large amount of oil reserves, and a large amount of oil is stored in caves. Therefore, why the Italian Navy did not go to war has always been a topic of discussion in later generations. But in this time and space, the oil fields in Libya may be there, and there is no reason to say that there is no such thing.
Oil, it may also be because of Egypt's interests, the Italian Navy's combat enthusiasm is quite good.
At this time, the two battleships of the Italian Navy that were injured in the Battle of Taranto have been repaired, and the battleship Roma has also begun service. The number of Italian battleships has increased to seven. Of course, Churchill has not received this news, and he thought it was two.
Veneto-class battleship.
Churchill asked what plans the Admiralty had. The location of Gibraltar Fortress is very important and we cannot lose it.
Lord Admiralty Sir Pound said that there was no other way but rescue. This battle was likely to be a decisive battle. The Italian Navy's actions were obviously the result of communication with Germany, so the German Navy might also be dispatched. We
Enough battleships must be left to prevent German raids. In addition, although the Egyptian fleet cannot join the battlefield in the western Mediterranean, it can attack the Italian mainland. The Italian navy's new battleships are outside and may return reinforcements out of worry. As for
Fortress of Gibraltar, although the German train artillery attacks are very powerful, they have forgotten that we still have aircraft on aircraft carriers. I suggest dispatching two aircraft carriers to establish an intermediate operation platform, so that we can continuously provide air force cover and counterattack for Fortress of Gibraltar.
The German fortress artillery fired back.
Churchill was very interested after hearing this. He immediately said a very interesting idea. Please explain it carefully.
An unprecedented sea battle is about to come. On the other side of time and space, Jiang Cheng finally comes out of the time and space shuttle.
At this time, Jiang Cheng's whole body was covered in dark black dirt after coagulated blood. Jiang Cheng smelled it and found that there was no smell at all. But looking at it all, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but worry that he might have lost too much blood.
But there was nothing unusual about his body.
Okay, nothing happened. I just checked. You can now generate a life space with a radius of half a meter. Things in this space can travel through time and space while maintaining life. But if you use the life space
The transportation space cannot be used at the same time. Moreover, if part of a life is in the life space and part is outside, then it will only die in dismemberment.
Jiang Cheng looked at his body and immediately cursed: "Damn it, the radius is half a meter. I can't even take it with me."
Gallagher chuckled and said, I said you were stupid, but you still don’t believe it. You don’t know how to squat. Isn’t that enough? You can also bring some modern seeds with you in the future, but if you bring the virus with you,
If so, there might be a biological crisis over there.
