Chapter 79 It's Hell
What can fresh air, oil and electricity produce? If it is not explained clearly, it may not produce anything. But if it is oxygen, oil, and electric sparks, what will happen? When the entire channel is filled with pure oxygen, the channel is a huge bomb. Or, for more than 1,000 soldiers of the Soviet Red Army Guard Infantry Division in the channel, this is hell.
A small electric spark immediately ignited the mixture of pure oxygen and the transpirated oil and gas. In an instant, the electric spark turned into a large fireball that filled the entire channel, rolling and chasing all creatures that fear it. But under such circumstances, explosions were inevitable. In people's terrifying eyes, the flames instantly swallowed everything in the entire channel.
The roar of the explosion covered everyone's wailing sounds. After the limbs were torn apart in an instant, they had become ignorant corpses. With the explosion, the beach also changed. The beach quickly bulged under the explosion. The air that had originally exploded for breathability was sprayed out as long fire snakes as a cannon.
Then the huge explosion seemed to lift the entire beach. Thinking of it, everyone on it was blown away by the gas generated by the huge explosion. Whether it was tanks, armored vehicles or other things, they all flew into the sky.
Everyone on the beach was tightly attached to the beach when the explosion was exploded. Despite the beach with good shock absorption, people could still feel the huge power of the explosion. The extra pressure caused by the explosion and combustion on the entire beach sucked in more oxygen and burned. The explosion also made the troops on the ground completely two.
The huge black mushroom cloud rose, and the strong shock wave caused the entire passage to explode. From the sky, it was like a piece of fried sausage that had been too fried. The sea water that had just been tilted by the shock wave rushed over with a whistling sound. In the lang wave, it can be seen that tanks, armored vehicles and landing crafts that had lost control because of the sea.
Almost before the blink of an eye, Hailang submerged the long and narrow crater just now and turned into a mixture of sand and sea water. In the "Sentinel" - the coordinated combat guides on the "Sentinel" - reconnaissance/command/electronic warfare airship, in the surprised eyes and groaning sighs, some tanks landed on the top of the tunnel, as if in the quicksand. Although they did not remove their "straw sand" floating system, the places where the sea and sand were mixed were like swamps, without any mercy to what floated on it.
And this was not an explosion. On the entire Normandy beach, because the first line of defense was destroyed, the infantry invaded the "Atlantic Barrier" underground, and such explosions were everywhere. On all the landing fields of the Allied forces, a 15-meter-deep channel with cement-based and mixed with sea water and sand was formed. At least this was an obstacle that required a lot of manpower and material resources to fill.
"My God, are we going to lose our landing battle?"
This was the exclamation of Admiral Chester William Nimitz, who was on the command boat. Although he did not rush out, he had already had a concern about this landing battle with huge casualties. That is, will the millions of Allied troops be blocked by beaches like Normandy? The most terrifying thing is that many tanks and armored vehicles of the 1st Cavalry Division and the 1st Dahong Division have been cut off from the other side of the pit.
The question now is how to rescue them, if the attack continues. Of course, this is not easy. General Douglas MacArthur, Army, had long known that the "Atlantic Barrier" constructed by the "China Federation Military Engineering Company" would definitely not be so easy to break through. Therefore, his cargo ships also carried a large amount of new equipment.
Just after the long ditch was blown out by oil, oxygen and electric sparks on the beach, the air fleet in the sky and the naval guns at sea all rang out in a row. But unexpectedly, the rocket launchers on the fire support ships did not bombard the fire, and the troops of the 1st Knight Division and the 1st Dahong Division, separated from the other side of the trench, were gathering, and they were forming a line of defense.
Germany seemed to have gained an advantage due to this explosion, but at this moment, the "disc air defense capsule" in the air can no longer act as a protective umbrella for the "Atlantic barrier" under the fierce attack of US fighter jets. Although the twin 25mm ammunition system is still firing frantically into the sky, the 85mm cannons on the tanks of the First Cavalry Division and the Red Division still played a huge role.
Relatively speaking, the 37mm cannon is a bit of a problem for these tanks equipped with minesweeping shovels. And it seems that all tanks have a minesweeping shovel that is similar to a bulldozer. Almost all members of the tank also place these minesweeping shovels in front of the vehicle as a bulletproof screen. This approach is the same as many tanks, which put the spare driven wheels in front of the tank, tilt the armor. If you are lucky, the shells hit the spare driven wheels, which will definitely produce a jump, strengthening the tank's armor.
Just as the tanks of the 1st Division and the 1st Division of the Great Red Division were firing against the German turret bunkers, some engineering vehicles that used the m4-a Sherman tanks to be modified were moving along the coast. The infantrymen of the 1st Division of the Great Red Division had already left the armored vehicles and filled many sandbags into the big pits.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't look at the back, there is death behind, we can no longer retreat!"
The officers shouted with anger, but it was far from panic. After all, General Douglas MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Army, had already prepared more plans for the cruel Normandy Landing. Although he had never known what the "China Federation Military Engineering Company" had done there. But his think tanks had studied almost all possible problems. He also had solutions to the problems in front of him.
The heavy artillery at sea began to bombard positions not far from the defense line of the 1st Knight Division and the 1st Dahong Division. Once the heavy artillery on the battleship was shot, the entire land would tremble. It was probably until the two US military divisions established this line of defense under huge casualties that was what General Douglas MacArthur really needed. The US military's firepower was strengthened almost instantly, but this time it was not used to use rocket artillery to bombard it.
It is the main gun of the battleship and the air fleet of more than 1.5 tons of bombs carried by the air fleet. There are gliding bombs with the "Paving Stone" system, and there are also "needle tip" series of bombs that imitate the German "Dandelion" bombs. The intensity of firepower made the Germans understand that this would be the real fire suppression of the Allied forces.

In the combat room of the commander-in-chief of Douglas MacArthur, who was far away in the UK, General Douglas MacArthur Army did not have any concerns about the explosion just now. He was still hanging his corncob pipe, with a leisurely expression. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that he has the 8 million British troops, not the army transported by the French from North Africa. The casualties at this moment are nothing to this huge, powerful army composed of steel and bombs.
Soon, behind the 1st Knight Division and the 1st Dahong Division, the craters near the beach were filled with sand from sandbags and bulldozers. At this time, groups of "sea rushing" rushed out from under the hulls of some simple aircraft carriers. As we all know, it was the old-fashioned landing equipment of the Chinese Federal Defense Forces. Including the Chinese Federal Marine Corps, they had almost completely given up the method of landing on the beach.
Because of the equipment of flying squirrels, meteorite airdrop cabins, helicopters, and airship groups, the operation of snatching the beach has been almost completely eliminated. As long as the Chinese Federation thinks, its powerful air power is enough to open up safe passages for transport teams, and then it can launch airborne attacks of up to millions of people at any time. This is the essence of the "lightning attack", because there is no country in the world, and any force has the ability to deploy weapons to deal with millions of troops in all their territory.
For example, Washington, facing the sudden appearance of 3 million mechanized troops in front of him, the only choice is to surrender. But without the 30,000 airship group as a backing and without the most powerful air force in the world as a backing, I believe no country can do this.
The battle in Normandy at this moment was precisely the test of this new way of war. After the real setback, how the Allies would attack the Germans' "Atlantic Barriers" is still an unknown number.
