Terry Percy, the 3rd Division of the German Marine Corps has completely taken control of this place. The British infantry brigade stationed here had very weak resistance after the German marines landed. And soon fled here, and the remaining troops surrendered to the Germans.
The 3rd Division of the German Marine Corps, using the pier at Tripe West, began a massive landing. Before long, more than 20,000 people from the 3rd Division of the Marine Corps and their equipment will all go ashore.
"General, our 1st Regiment has already started to attack St. John's. Soon, the 2nd Regiment will join the attack when it goes ashore," said Major General Pals, commander of the 3rd Division of the Marine Corps.
Admiral Ernst von Busch nodded: "The 4th Marine Division will start landing in the afternoon. In addition, the 6th Marine Division and the 7th Marine Division are expected to arrive tomorrow night. Our five Marine Divisions, They will all be driven to Newfoundland."
"General, there is no problem in taking Newfoundland. The fighting power of these British is really rubbish. We have naval guns and carrier-based aircraft fire support, and we can easily defeat them." Pars There was a smile on the major general's face.
Admiral Busch nodded, and he also thought that the combat effectiveness of the British army was very bad.
"Arms control take St. John. There is a medium-sized port there. After taking it, the rest of the troops can go ashore better." Admiral Busch said. After all, the remaining marine divisions, as well as the engineering units of the future Air Force and a large amount of technical equipment, all need to be transported by the port. Tripesy's port is too small for expansion to be possible. On the contrary, St. John's can be regarded as a relatively good port.
"Yes, General." Major General Pars nodded.
New Brunswick, the Nova Scotia Peninsula, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton Island, across the Cabot Strait from Newfoundland across the sea. These areas can also be regarded as areas where the British army is heavily deployed.
After the German army landed on Newfoundland, the entire British Army went crazy. A group of generals of the British Army began to quickly deploy troops from the above-mentioned areas, and rushed to Newfoundland for reinforcements.
The Cabot Strait is only tens of kilometers wide, and it would not take much time for the British army to transport troops across the strait to Newfoundland. Of course, the premise is that the German army did not stop it.
On the afternoon of November 23, the first batch of reinforcements sent by the British army to Newfoundland set off from Cape Breton Island. Hundreds of merchant ships headed for Newfoundland under the protection of dozens of cruisers and destroyers. On these merchant ships, the strength of two infantry divisions and one armored division of the British Army was loaded.
In the sky, there are hundreds of P-51 fighter jets from the Royal Air Force escorting them.
It can be seen that in order to prevent the attack of the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft group, they have done their best.
However, it is obviously impossible for the German side to allow the British to land so many reinforcements on Newfoundland.
Just as the fleet had just passed the center line of the Cabot Strait, the carrier-based aircraft group of the German Navy rushed over. Fifteen carrier-based FW-190 fighter squadrons took off from the eight aircraft carriers of the carrier formation of the German Navy's home fleet and rushed to the battlefield.
Although, after the air search radar of the Royal Navy discovered the attacking German carrier-based aircraft group, it immediately instructed the escorting P-51 aircraft group to intercept. And more P-51 fighter jets took off from the rear airport to the battlefield.
But unfortunately, it was still too late.
The fierce air battle exploded immediately, and the German Navy's carrier-based fleet had 15 squadrons of carrier-based FW-190 fighters, reaching 180. In terms of quantity, it has an absolute advantage. In terms of fighter performance and pilot technology, it is also at an advantage. This makes the battlefield completely one-sided. The carrier-based fleet of the German Navy severely damaged the British Air Force as soon as they fought, causing them heavy losses. And, the fighter group of the British Air Force was quickly dispersed.
Immediately afterwards, the dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft of the German Navy appeared.
Hundreds of dive bombers and hundreds of torpedo attack aircraft began to attack.
"Boom boom boom!"
Although, the escorting fleet began to shoot at the air with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to cover the huge fleet. However, it didn't work at all. The number of escorting warships was so small that they could not organize a favorable air defense at all.
"Woo!"
The dive bombers of the German Navy began to dive, making a terrifying roar that made people have to cover their ears.
The heavy aerial bomb hit a merchant ship heavily.
The fragile deck of the merchant ship was blasted through at the beginning. The bomb exploded inside the merchant ship.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion immediately severely damaged the merchant ship, not only destroying the interior of the merchant ship. Even the hull of the ship was blown through.
The sea water began to pour into the merchant ship crazily, and the British soldiers on the merchant ship were transferred into the sea like dumplings.
Although the sea water is cold at this time, they don't want to sink into the sea together with the merchant ship.
A torpedo attack plane dropped a heavy torpedo on a merchant ship at a distance of 500 meters.
Soon, the heavy torpedo kissed the side of a merchant ship.
Among the violent explosions, a large hole was blown out of the side of the merchant ship. Sea water poured into the hull crazily.
The defensive power of merchant ships is not as good as that of warships. There is no perfect watertight compartment either. So, soon the hull capsized and sank into the sea.
Under the attack of the dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft of the German Navy, those merchant ships could not resist at all. The fragile merchant ship was easily hit by aerial bombs and aerial torpedoes. And one after another was sunk.
The soldiers transported on the merchant ship either took the initiative to jump into the sea to escape, or sank into the sea with the merchant ship. But in fact, no matter which path you choose, there is no way out.
The icy Atlantic Ocean will swallow their lives.
"Damn, we can't go on like this, otherwise, we will be killed by the Germans soon!"
Although the British saw such a crisis, they had nothing to do.
By the time the follow-up fighter jets of the British Air Force arrived, the dive bombers and torpedo attack planes of the German Navy had completed their mission and fled. What was left was a messy sea. A large number of merchant ships are burning and sinking, and the sea is full of soldiers who jumped into the sea to survive. Many of them have been frozen and lost their lives.
The two infantry divisions and one armored division dispatched by the British Army lost their lives before they reached Newfoundland.
