"Quick! Park the car to the edge of the trench over there!" Wittmann quickly ordered, "Park the car a little crookedly, so it looks like it has capsized." Wittmann understood that in a few minutes,

The sun will shine from the sky to the ground. At this time, all ground vehicles that are still moving will become the key targets of the first round of strikes. Even the stationary tanks will be targeted unless they look completely harmless.

Most likely, a shot would be fired. And in the current time, Wittmann knew that his tank would not be able to retreat back to the relatively safe woods where it started. Therefore, Weidmann believed that he must fight before the ground was illuminated.

Retreat your tanks to a position where it will be easier to avoid the first round of attacks by the Allied Air Force by pretending to be dead, and where you can retreat faster after the first round of attacks.

The trench that was half covered with soil was a good choice. It was not far from the road leading to the woods. After the first round of air strikes, it only took a few minutes for the tanks to rush into the woods. And this one was knocked down.

The soil that came down filled half of the trench. If you drive the tracks on one side of the tank in, the tank will tilt a lot and look like it has capsized. Generally speaking, pilots are not willing to be captured alive like this.

It was a waste of ammunition on the target. But once the air strike was over, the two tanks that seemed to have capsized were able to immediately revive and rush towards his target.

Just as Wittmann was setting up his tank, the sun rose above the horizon.

"Attack!" Arthur dived down from the air with his wingman. There was a huge fuel-air bomb hanging under the belly of his plane. The mission of him and his wingman was to prevent the German follow-up troops from continuing to pour into the gap.

.

"The fuel-air bomb is the most suitable weapon for performing such tasks. Not only is it powerful, one bomb can clear a large area, but it can also create a large enough area of ​​extreme hypoxia, which makes the enemy

Infantry and various vehicles will not be able to enter this area for a period of time. In this way, with only a few bombs, we can blockade a large area." This was Ron's speech at the pre-war preparation meeting.

Under his arrangement, an entire squadron of PA-38s were equipped with such bombs and set off before dawn.

At this time, the battleship's bombardment had ended. The British infantry were rushing towards the gap, trying to block the gap, and the German infantry also stepped up their rush towards the gap.

Arthur dropped a bomb on a large group of German infantry advancing towards the gap. As the bomb was dropped, his plane began to climb rapidly. The bomb he dropped also opened a parachute and swayed.

It fell towards the Germans.

Some German soldiers looked at the slowly falling bombs, their faces turned pale with fright. Many of them had heard of this kind of terrifying bomb, and some soldiers immediately fell to the ground or jumped into the nearby

There are still some soldiers in the ditches and trenches. They probably know the terrifying effect of this kind of bomb. They know that even if they hide in the trench, they cannot avoid the terrifying impact of this kind of bomb. Moreover, compared with being directly exposed to the explosion,

Being bombed to death, escaping the explosion, and then slowly suffocating to death in extreme suffocation would probably be even more uncomfortable. So these soldiers actually stood upright like this, watching the bomb fall towards them.

Of course, more Germans chose to run away, trying to get out of the bomb's killing range before it exploded. However, there was not just one bomb that fell. Even if they ran as fast as a cheetah, one bomb fell.

The killing range of a bomb will also put you into the killing range of another bomb.

Wittmann also saw the falling bomb. The bomb was only about 20 meters away from his tank. Obviously, his tank was also within the striking range. So Wittmann suddenly retracted his head and closed the cabin at the same time.

Door.

At this moment, more than ten bombs exploded almost simultaneously. A huge shock wave immediately swept across this large area. Wittmann's tank was already tilted, and the shock wave rushed straight over and hit the side of the tank. As a result, this

The tank, which was already leaning almost overturned, was actually turned over, with the tracks facing upwards and the turret facing downwards. However, the Tiger tank's airtightness was quite good. At least, there was no large group of flames coming in from a certain gap.

.

"Captain, Captain! Are you okay?" This was the voice of loader Gunther Weber. The overturning of the tank caused all the members to fall hard.

"Oh, I'm fine." Wittmann touched his head and tried to right himself while saying, "Is everyone okay?"

"Captain, I'm fine." This was the voice of the pilot Heinrich Rammel.

"I'm fine, I just got hit in the eye by something," gunner Carl Wegener replied.

"I'm fine too..."

"I don't have any big problems, I just have a sprain in my left hand."

Seeing that nothing happened to his crew, Wittmann breathed a sigh of relief. He then asked, "Are all the oxygen bottles there?" The space inside the tank was extremely narrow, and the air would never last long.

"Ah, mine is here."

"Mine is also there."......

Before this attack, the Germans had considered the situation in which tanks were attacked by enemy special bombs. Tank crews are different from those cheap infantry. Those guys are just cheap consumables, but tank crews, especially

An experienced tank crew is extremely important. Therefore, the Germans prepared an oxygen tank for each member of the tank crew that can be used for about 30 minutes, so that they can rely on this to survive the most dangerous period after the explosion.

About twenty minutes of extreme oxygen deprivation (the Germans overestimated the lasting effect of the bomb).

Wittmann had already turned himself over. He asked: "Are you ready? We are going to abandon the car and retreat on foot."

The explosion of this round of fuel-air bombs completely blocked the way for the German soldiers to rush into the British position. There is no doubt that this attack has failed. Now, as long as the commander has a little bit of rationality, he will give the order

Retreat. If Wittmann and the others do not evacuate quickly, they will have no choice but to become prisoners of the British.

Wittmann put on his oxygen mask and carefully opened the escape door and looked outside. There was silence outside, as quiet as a large cemetery. The intact or mutilated corpses of hundreds of infantrymen were scattered in random directions.

In this large area, it is terrible to see.

But Wittmann had no time to lament this. He pushed open the escape door and jumped into the trench. Then, his crew members also jumped out one after another. They ran along the trench for a while, and then

, in front of them is an open space of more than 100 meters. It is more than a thousand meters away from the British's current defense line. The British machine guns are no longer a particularly big threat to them, but the ones above their heads are

Enemy planes and British mortars can still threaten them at any time.

Wittmann raised his head, carefully observing the enemy planes in the sky, and thinking about his next move. If he rushed over an open area of ​​about 100 meters, he could rush through it in ten seconds. But now this area is

There are no living people. Once your own vehicle crew appears in this open land in this posture, it will become very conspicuous and will definitely be attacked by the enemy.

"Lie down on the ground and crawl forward until you are close to the edge of the woods." Wittmann ordered.

…

After Arthur pulled up his attack plane, he began to hover over the battlefield. In order to carry this bomb, his plane carried fewer other weapons. However, after dropping the bomb, he still had three 37-guns and two

What about the 20-gun gun?

However, there were really no decent targets on the ground. Moreover, he could not enter low-altitude airspace for at least twenty minutes - the oxygen content there was too low and the engine would stall. The bored Arthur began to look around, and he even thought:

"Why didn't a German plane come over to join in the fun?"

There are still German fighter jets that want to join in the fun. Under the strict orders of the German military headquarters, the Luftwaffe finally launched a large-scale operation. In fact, German night fighters have been put into battle since early morning. But these night fighters

Encountered their counterparts, American and British night fighters, and after a chaotic battle without much result, everyone retreated. The Germans shot down three Mosquito night fighters and lost one of their own.

Ju-88, it seems that the exchange ratio is not bad, but they were not able to launch a decent attack on those night bombers at all.

As daybreak approached, the Luftwaffe finally made a desperate move and sent out all the fighter jets it could. More than two hundred fighter jets of all types rushed towards the landing site.

The sudden force of the German fighter jets completely exceeded the expectations of Ron, other Army aviation generals, and the Royal Air Force generals. In fact, for a long time, everyone has been accustomed to and ignored the existence of the German Air Force. And

Ron, who came from another time and space, knew that in the original history, the Luftwaffe was very passive in the Battle of Normandy and did not take any such action at all. Could it be that the butterfly effect of time travelers has caused the Luftwaffe to take action now?

Is the child on fire? However, this news did not shock Ron and the other generals. On the contrary, they were all happy in their hearts while looking at each other with vigilant eyes.

The reason why no one is shocked is because the Allies have always maintained a huge fleet of fighter jets in the nearby airspace, and can easily gather a much larger number of fighter jets. And keep an eye on the opponent vigilantly, then

It's because everyone wants to get more of this victory.

"Get on to Boynton," Ron said to the radio operator.

"Okay General." The operator replied, and after a while, he handed a set of headsets to Ron.

"Dad, how far are you from Area 5?" Ron picked up the headset and shouted into it, "...not far? Great! There are big fish! Hundreds of German planes

It is flying towards Area 5... We must act quickly and be sure to get ahead of the British and other regiments. It is estimated that such a good thing will never happen again in the future. This will be the last large-scale attack on the Western Front.
