Chapter 336: Butcher

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
At night, next to the quiet airport runway, parked one after another fw-190 fighter jets, not far away, there is a row of hangars still brightly lit. This is a huge field airport in the Netherlands. It was originally a large airport where the British and French Air Forces were stationed. Now it has become one of the main airports of the German Air Force in the Netherlands.
Farther away, a row of undulating shadows looming, it seems that there are larger things parked there, revealing a suffocating deterrent force. No one knows exactly what those weapons are, because they have been stationed by countless soldiers since they arrived at the airport.
"Long live Akado? Rudolph!" The two busy mechanics saw the person coming over and quickly stood upright. The two were still holding a wrench in their hands.
"Long live Akado? Rudolph, the head of state!" The person raised his hand and returned to the ceremony, looking meticulous. After he returned the ceremony, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the behemoth behind the two mechanics.
This is arguably one of the most terrifying aerial weapons he has ever seen, and it is arguably the backbone of the offensive force of the Luftwaffe in the next few years. This is the German version of the B-17 aerial fortress bomber, and the German Head of State Akado himself named "The Butcher".
Do n’t underestimate this bomber, but this is a German modified version of the B-17 aerial fort bomber, another super-strategic US bombing weapon designed by Akado himself. At least at this stage, this bomber appears. For its For the UK, this is not good news.
That's more than a 30-meter-long wingspan, a huge 22-meter-long body, and a huge three-story plane. Even Dick had to admit the impact of this huge plane. He had seen this kind of plane flying high into the air, but even he had never seen it. It was a spectacular view of a total of 44 such planes flying in formation.
Before this aircraft was produced by a German aviation company, Dick did not believe that the bomber could resist the attack of the fighter, but after seeing this huge guy, he had to admit that this aircraft did not rely on speed to avoid anything. Intercepting, as long as you rely on your own force to smash the provocative fighter plane.
What gives Dick this confidence is nothing else, because the aircraft is equipped with 13 13-millimeter machine guns and 20-millimeter machine guns that can shoot at different angles. Installed in all corners of the aircraft, it can fire in almost any direction of the aircraft. Such a huge aircraft is simply an aerial gunboat, enough to destroy fighters approaching at any angle halfway.
Inside the spherical turret is a gunner who can curl up and sit. The gunner aims at the target through the sight in front of the left eye, and uses the joystick and foot pedal to control the rotation and pitch of the turret. Because the space inside the turret is very small, the gunners of the belly turrets of these 44 butcher strategic bombers are all German female soldiers.
These female gunners entered and exited through the hatch behind the turret, which was also an emergency escape port in the event of a malfunction. The turret turns to the face-down position. When the hatch can be opened from inside the aircraft, the gunner can enter the turret from the aircraft; the turret turns to the horizontal position, the hatch is completely exposed outside the fuselage, and the gunner can also enter the turret from the ground.
However, as long as the gunner enters the turret from the ground, this means that he can only stay inside during takeoff. When the aircraft is on the ground, the turret has a ground clearance of only 32 cm, and it is impossible to turn the turret down. It is absolutely not wonderful to experience takeoff or landing at a distance of only 32 cm from the ground, and the consequences of the failure of the landing gear are unimaginable, so the butcher ’s instruction manual strictly stipulates that all belly gunners must be removed from the fuselage after the aircraft is lifted off. Enter the turret inside.
The premise is that an aircraft can fly to the height of this aircraft to intercept-this aircraft can climb to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and drop its own bomb at this height to attack the ground target. Although the accuracy of this bombing is not high, the German research on sights has always performed well, so they are confident that the new sights can make up for the impact of precision caused by high-altitude bombing.
In addition, although this butcher bomber was born from the B-17 bomber, it has some slight differences from the b-17. For example, due to process problems, the German butcher bomber used a flower room cockpit supporting the flat glass, which was reduced. Most curved plexiglass applications.
And this aircraft gave up a 2 ton payload due to engine performance issues and the pursuit of range. That is to say, when carrying out a long-range bombing mission of about 3500 kilometers, the butcher bomber's loaded weight is only 6 tons.
The only thing that makes the Air Force commanders feel a little shocked is that this aircraft actually needs 10 pilots. Although 5 machine gun self-defense weapon control personnel do not need precise training, for Germany this aircraft ’s The operating cost is too expensive.
You know, this plane flew into the sky to carry out combat missions, but it sent tons of expensive steel and alloy metals and ten soldiers over the enemy-occupied area. This is a hard-won country for every pilot like the Germans. It is actually a very risky move.
If it was n’t for this combat mission, it would be too tempting. If it was n’t for this combat mission, it would be of great significance. As the deputy commander of the Air Force, Dick would not agree to such a sloppy organization of such a crazy attack plan.
"The bombs have all been loaded, General." An officer Hui, who was behind Dick, reported: "The pilots of these bombers have undergone strict night flight training. This flight mission will enter enemy airspace at night and return during the day. . "
In preparation for this bombing, Germany used almost all of the war machines in its hands and drew up a huge combat plan.
The first is the flight schedule. These strategic bombers will take off in the formation at night, and then fly to the British capital London to be bombed. These aircraft will converge on the sea at the early morning. The naval fighters that took off on the aircraft carrier in the early morning will be protected by these fighters and attack the London bombing mission.
The naval fighter will then return home due to fuel problems, and the bomber will climb to an altitude of 10,000 meters to throw off the intercepted British fighter and begin to return home. On the halfway, the mission of the bomber fleet will be taken over by the formation of Army fighters taking off from the Netherlands and returned to the Netherlands under the of the fighter fleet.
44 butcher bombers will carry a full 260 tons of bombs and throw them to the British capital. Bring fear and disaster to the British government. The plan for this operation was named "Reincarnation" by the Air Force. The purpose is very simple, in order to avenge the British spy's assassination of Akado Rudolph.
Akado was silent for a long time after learning of the action plan prepared by Catherine, because he knew that the Luftwaffe lost the tactical advantage of the British air war because of retaliation during World War II.
In Akado's mind, the Luftwaffe should use its technological superiority to bomb British airports and factories, destroying the British war potential. It is not to retaliate against the useless London house.
So Akado told General Catherine what he had in mind, hoping he could understand himself. General Catherine also listened to Akado ’s concerns and told the head of state that the bombing of the Luftwaffe will definitely focus on factories and airports in the future, and this retaliation was carried out for multiple people in Akaka.
So Akado nodded and agreed, and just in case, ordered the Air Force and Navy to fully cooperate with this airstrike. Of course, in order to ensure the absolute safety of the navy and air force, Akado even personally ordered Denitz to transfer three submarines to return to the navy, and investigated the navy route in advance.
Such an interlocking plan can be said to be seamless: the submarine force will investigate the British Navy ’s movements and open the way for the aircraft carrier fleet; the aircraft carrier will take off the carrier-based aircraft to the strategic bomber, and then quickly gather the aircraft back to the Netherlands; Roadbed fighter forces screened off the battlefield.
Everything will begin tonight, and it seems that everything will also end tomorrow. Dick thought secretly. He nodded, patted the shoulder of the Air Force Colonel who introduced the progress of his work, and said, "I know, tonight, you will create a miracle in the history of the Luftwaffe. I wish you success."
"Mr. General! We will do our best to complete the mission! The head of state will bless us!" Said the colonel officer: "I will personally lead the fleet to complete the task, and the British will pay for their assassination of the head of state!"
"With these excellent pilots ... come back alive!" Dick looked at the huge four-engine strategic bomber next to him and said softly.
Soon, Dick returned to the command tower under the of the guards, where he used the lights on the runway, and one giant "butcher" began to take off. The roar of the four engines was even commanding In Tane, General Dick can also hear clearly.
"Revenge 1, I am Revenge 2, I can see your night flight lights! The vision is very good! There is no difference from night flight training!" In the headset, a pilot is trying to fly in formation.
After a while, 44 planes have been formed in formation in the near sky. They maintain a safe flight distance from each other, and in the dark spot air, relying on the command of the navigator, flew towards their combat objectives of this operation.
"Flight formations are assembled! The reincarnation operation is officially launched!" The colonel who was the commander of the front line formation reported to General Dick in his headphones: "Hopefully we can complete the mission!"
