When the amphibious tank enters the sea, you can see that the car body is only a dozen centimeters above the surface. If you go to the sea, this kind of navigation is quite dangerous, but now, it is just crossing the strait!
Even at a water speed of only five kilometers, it takes only four hours to reach the other side of the strait from here! Once the tank landed, it would definitely have a great deterrent!
Carrying the rubber dinghy, after reaching the shore, the soldiers of the Volunteer Army jumped up with them. Several people paddled, followed behind, and slowly paddled.
One ship, another ship, led by the amphibious tank, the rubber dinghy troops behind are advancing, advancing!
This formation will be the attack formation in the future. German troops don't even need a landing ship. Directly through this method, they can land on the beach.
Joseph was sitting on his rubber dinghy, paddling and observing the surrounding situation. In addition to their team, there are other teams on the sea conducting exercises. It seems that a large number of amphibious tanks have gathered here. !
The sun gradually slipped to the west, and they were already several kilometers away from the shore.
"Draw back, training is over!" the German instructor shouted loudly.
Swipe back!
Joseph took the oars and paddled the water. Suddenly, when the rubber boat shook, his body fell into the water!
"Oh, damn, hurry, save Joseph!" the squad leader at the front of the rubber boat shouted loudly.
Someone fell into the water!
At this time, they suddenly realized that they had made a mistake. They were not wearing life jackets!
The formation of the volunteer army was too fast, which made it impossible to provide a lot of equipment quickly and effectively. For example, although they were going to land across the sea, they only found enough rubber boats but not enough life jackets!
They could only watch Joseph in the sea water, swayed twice, and then he was submerged by the sea.
On their rubber boat, no one can swim!
At this time, instead, a German soldier on the amphibious tank in front of him jumped down. However, he pierced the water a few times and did not find Joseph.
In this training, a soldier was lost inexplicably, which caused the morale of the French volunteers to sink. They were drawn back to the shore. Many people fell asleep after washing.
As night fell, there was already silence around, in the darkness, no one noticed, alone, still swimming vigorously.
It’s not easy to swim across the English Channel. At the beginning, some French people succeeded. That’s because there were ships on the way to meet them. Later, the chances became smaller and smaller, almost rare. Some people will succeed, most of them drown in the strait.
But now, there is a man swimming vigorously, he is Joseph who fell into the water before the evening!
Joseph, of course, didn't accidentally fall into the water, he did it all on purpose! It can be seen from the time he signed up for the French Volunteer Army, they have other purposes!
He has long been an agent of MI5. He still believes in the British and is still very tired of Germany. Now that he has received such important information, he must quickly report to the British side!
In Calais, there was martial law everywhere. He had no confidence to pass the information out, so he could only take the risk and pass the information to the British through the most difficult way.
Swim over!
Most of his stamina has been exhausted, and Joseph is still holding on. At this time, his head is full of stars. With the help of the constellations, he determines his direction and continues to swim towards the other side!
A firm belief is supporting him. He must reach the UK alive and pass the news!
It was early morning when he was exhausted and climbed up the coast of England. His whole body was trembling, and after nearly ten hours of soaking in the sea, he was almost dead.
Fortunately, he finally arrived!
Finding the defender on the shore, he immediately asked to send him to the nearest intelligence station.
At this time, it was already three in the morning.
Churchill was awakened from his sleep. In the past few days, the bad news one by one made Churchill feel tired. In this sleep, he slept very unsteadily. At the same time, he slept with his clothes. of.
The next air strike by the Germans will come at any time, and they must not take it lightly!
Therefore, when the adjutant awakened Churchill, Churchill simply washed his face and immediately walked into the next conference room.
"One of our intelligence personnel, risking his life, sent us important information." Brigadier Halke said: "Now, we can confirm that the Germans are scheduled to land in Dover. Opposite Calais!"
"Halk, how are you sure?" Archibald said In fact, everyone infers that the Germans may land in Dover, but the confirmation of this information is also necessary It must be carefully considered! Is it really there?
The strait there is too narrow. If the Germans want to land there, it will be good news for them, because their firepower can also be delivered to the Calais coast!
"The Germans, on the coast of Calais, have concentrated thousands of amphibious tanks." Brigadier Halke said: "So, our previous plan was invalidated. The Germans did not use ships to cross the strait and land across the sea. , The Germans drove the tank directly."
The amphibious tank is the key to Halke's final confirmation. This type of tank can actually sail directly in the sea. At the same time, it has the same firepower as other tanks.
Think about it. Thousands of tanks come from the other side of the strait, like dumplings, coming in turbulently. This kind of tank sea is enough to flatten the entire coast of Dover!
Many of the shore defense artillery they prepared on the shore were useless, because the artillery was used to strike big targets, and the tanks had too small targets! The machine guns that deal with small targets are powerless with tanks.
The Germans really used this kind of tactics against the sky!
Fortunately, we have arranged agents in advance. Calais is under military martial law. Ordinary agents can't get in at all. I don't know if the German tanks can actually be launched!
After listening to Brigadier Hark’s narration, Churchill frowned. Sure enough, bad news, one by one!
If the opponent has a large number of amphibious tanks crossing the strait directly, how should one respond? Especially, looking at this posture, they might come over in the middle of the night, at that time, their defense is the lowest!
So, how to deal with it?
