Chapter 766： Blown into ruins

In terms of house demolition, the efficiency of the thermobaric bomb is definitely high enough, but at the same time, its cost is high enough. To destroy a city at low cost, the shell is definitely the most suitable choice.

Like now.

Large-caliber naval guns are used for counter-fire. If they are used to hit land, they are just like a sledgehammer.

"Boom!" The 305mm high-explosive bomb accurately hit the city of Tubrug. When it collided with the ground, a huge explosion sounded.

This sound will damage one's eardrums, it is like death is coming!

In the huge explosion sound, the fire light, accompanied by shrapnel and shock waves, spread out.

The ground trembled as if an earthquake had occurred, and the air, flying shrapnel, high-temperature and high-pressure air currents strangled everything nearby!

The first shell hit an open space in the city. Everything around was trembling. A large area of ​​a basketball court was affected!

With the explosion point as the center, within a radius of 500 meters, the glass of all the buildings shattered!

"boom!"

The second shell hit a three-story building. After the explosion, the three-story building collapsed and turned into rubble!

The 305mm shell is enough to tear the opponent's armor of hundreds of millimeters and strike the target on the ground. It is absolutely nothing to say, even the strongest fortress will be shattered under its attack!

This is also the reason why Hitler in history was so obsessed with Dora Cannon.

Even if only one battleship’s naval gun fires, it can pose a huge threat to the city, and now, there are hundreds of naval guns instead of one or two! There are dozens of large-caliber naval guns!

The entire sea surface was enveloped in the smoke of naval guns. A salvo of naval guns caused tens of thousands of tons of ship hulls to retreat. In the black smoke, the continuous flying out of the artillery shells was like death whistling. .

In the intensive bombardment of the naval guns, the entire Tubrug was trembling and trembling!

"Boom!" A shell exploded almost ten meters away from the headquarters. When a huge roar sounded, everyone in the entire headquarters couldn't help but squat down and protect their heads with their hands.

Not knowing where he found a helmet, Wavell put it on his head. Even so, he knew that the helmet was only used to protect the object from falling and hitting his head.

If large-caliber grenades fly to them, the entire building will be destroyed, and they will all be killed.

However, there is no other choice, they have nowhere to go.

No particularly strong fortifications have been built here. After all, they have just arrived here not long ago. Those sandbag bunkers are of no use.

Even the reinforced concrete underground fortifications cannot withstand the blow of this naval gun! The only thing that can counterattack is to dispatch planes to attack the outer fleet.

Unfortunately, this is an impossible task for the current North African Army Corps. If they are really dispatched, then the German fleet will also rush to destroy their vitality.

They can only be next to each other. No place in the whole city is absolutely safe. At this time, they can only pray for God's blessing.

"Boom!" A shell blasted on a fortification in a street. In an instant, the entire fortification was blown up, and dozens of soldiers were flying in blood.

Getting up from the ground, Commander Carlsi found his military cap again and put it on his head: "3rd company, 3rd company? Quickly, rebuild the position!"

He was not afraid. As Australian soldiers, they were born unaware of fear! They only knew that the opponent’s shell attack could not be carried out all the time. After the coverage was completed, the German army would come up.

For Tubrug, the Germans are determined to win.

Then, street fighting will still happen! They must be prepared, if the fortifications fly, then repair them again, in short, they will not give up! The whole Australian 9th Infantry Division has the same idea!

Covered by artillery fire, it lasted for half an hour!

When everything was quiet again, the entire Tubrug seemed to have become a dilapidated graveyard.

"Is anyone? Is there anyone alive?" Calsi shouted loudly. At this time, one of his legs was pressed among a pile of bricks, and his upper body was still intact.

He had no sensation in the lower body, he didn't have time to take care of himself, just shouted loudly, called his soldier.

"Wow." In the middle of the pile of rubble, a tall soldier came out from it. There were bruises all over his body and his head was still bleeding, but he still stood up.

"Company commander, 3 rows and 2 ban Timshi return!"

"Scout Corporal Bogut is back!"

"Machine Gunner Mark is back!"

One by one voice filled Carl with relief. Just now, he thought that all his troops were killed in this shelling!

"Build fortifications immediately and prepare for street fighting!" he shouted loudly.

Two soldiers came over and smashed the pieces away from him, and saw that his lower body was gone! Carl looked around. The tallest building was only one meter tall. There were ruins everywhere, and the entire city was almost razed.

"3rd company, ready to fight!" He exhausted his last strength and shouted loudly: "As long as one soldier is still alive, we will not stop fighting!"

Facing the extinct shelling Facing more than 70% casualties, as the Australian Army, they still have not collapsed. The fight to the last minute is their creed!

The perseverance of the Australian soldiers is vividly reflected here. Their fighting will surpasses the British by hundreds of times, especially the senior British commanders!

Wavell was not injured. Just when the last shot exploded near him, his captain of the guard rushed forward and covered him with his body. The countless shrapnel beat his captain into a hedgehog, and the blood flow slowed down. Wavell's body.

"Cough, cough." Wavell coughed twice, and a mouthful of blood came out. Wavell suffered internal injuries. When the shell exploded, the violent impact spread through the ground and slapped him on the chest.

Almost all the people around were there, only Klopp’s head, with a piece of shrapnel inserted, blood flowing, making people shocking to see.

"The shelling has stopped, and the German attack will begin soon." Klopp looked at the people present: "The casualties have not been counted, but I think we have no ability to stop the German attack."

Relying on the buildings in the city, using anti-tank weapons to wipe out the opponent's tanks at close range and hit their morale. When the German casualties are too great, they will retreat. This is the plan they made at the beginning.

However, when the shells of those naval guns flew in, the plan went bankrupt, and the entire city was in ruins. Their street fighting plan was no longer possible!

They are not afraid of death, but they will not die without meaning!

Breakthrough? Don't even think about it! On the sea is the opponent's fleet, and on the land is surrounded by German tank troops. They broke through and died even worse.

So, is there only one choice left? 74108
