Chapter 662: It's finally time to start a naval battle in England

"How many LCVP landing craft did the Führer deploy, the LCM6 mechanized landing craft come over? And is our amphibious landing force coming? I mean the Brandenburg Special Division, which was enlarged by the Führer into two divisions"

When Chen Yanlong made up his mind to prepare for airborne operations, Rommel, who had already finished resting, also came to the port of Ceuta in full clothes, and asked Colonel Rebus, who was accepting the LCVP landing craft and LCM6 mechanized landing craft at the dock.

"There are about 550 ships that have arrived so far, and as for how many more ships have been transported, I don't know yet!"

"The Führer's side has not given a definite number, but it is estimated that it will not be less than 200!"

"And the Brandenburg division has also arrived, and is now stationed in the temporary barracks at the port of Ceuta, waiting for the marshal's reception!"

Colonel Rebus gave a standard military salute and replied respectfully.

"Hmmm! Be sure to receive these landing craft as soon as possible in case of an attack by the British aviation! ”

"I think we're going to have a sneak attack on the English Channel soon!"

Rommel looked at the LCVP landing craft and the LCM6 mechanized landing craft on the sea that were slowly sailing to the port, and said seriously.

"Yes! Marshal! ”

Colonel Rebus also replied earnestly.

"In addition, let them be dispatched to the beach on the other side of the port of Ceuta for amphibious landing combat training!"

"I have already arranged all the troops and officers who are about to carry out the amphibious landing operation over there!"

"On the eve of the battle for the English Channel, we want to speed up our training!"

"Because of the amphibious landing force we formed, there is only the Brandenburg Division! And their expanded training time is very short, less than half a year! And Canaris, the purged traitor, didn't train this unit well! ”

Rommel worried.

"Forget it! I'll take a look at their state first, and meet their new generals! ”

But Rommel was quick to speak.

As for Colonel Rebus, he just listened quietly, and did not say much.

And he also liked the troop transport landing craft and tank landing craft that he was receiving.

For example, those LCVP landing craft can have a crew of three, a captain, a mechanic, and a sailor, who are also responsible for maneuvering 7.7 Can transport 36 heavily armed soldiers or 8,000 pounds (equivalent to 3,600 kilograms) of supplies from the transport ship.

The LCM6 mechanized landing craft can carry a 34-ton tank, or 31 tons of combat materiel, or 120 heavily armed soldiers.

"I really can't imagine that such a good landing craft was actually learned from the US military and manufactured!"

"It seems that the Führer's methods are still very powerful!"

When Colonel Rebus had almost finished inspecting the landing craft, he sighed.

At this time, Rommel had already said a brief hello to him and left.

Rommel then headed for the Brandenburg Special Division, but he had not gone long before an operational staff officer hurried up to him, gave him a nervous salute, and handed him a secret telegram.

"This is a secret telegram just sent by the Führer, please reply to the marshal!"

Then the combat staff officer whispered.

"Hmm!"

Rommel's face changed for a moment, and he immediately took the telegram.

He quickly opened the telegram and read it, but when he read it, his face relaxed.

Because the content of this telegram is that today the air force is about to carry out a night attack.

The hours start at 5 p.m. and run until late at night.

At the same time, Rommel was also asked to prepare for the landing operation, because this amphibious landing operation will be a lightning amphibious operation with bombers, carrier-based aircraft, airborne troops, armored troops, and strong logistics supplies.

It is necessary to defeat the British troops stationed in the English Channel with the most ferocious attack in the shortest possible time and occupy the LinkedIn Channel.

At the very least, the entire English Channel would be blown into ruins, making it difficult for British troops to be stationed there.

"It's finally time to start a naval battle in England!"

Rommel said excitedly.
