Chapter 992: little mouse

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
Norway is close to the Arctic Circle, so the day in May comes very early, and the night is relatively short. This is why, when the Allied bombers returned, their eyes were already bright. The blue sky and the blue sea, waiting for them will be a grand welcome ceremony to celebrate the victory.
This was the first large-scale successful air strike by the Allied forces on the German occupation zone, and it directly bombed the more important steel-producing areas of Germany. They still don't know what great results they have achieved, but the mission has been completed, which is a thankful thing for every pilot.
After all, they are still alive, after all, they are still alive after fighting. Living in this war is definitely something to celebrate. So on the way back, these bombers began to laugh and laugh, and everyone's mood became relaxed.
The total number of b-17 bombers in the reinforcement of Iceland exceeded 340, and the Allied forces dispatched a total of 231 bombers at the time of departure. There were 152 remaining when returning home, compared with the bomber fleet of 79 aircraft that were shot down. The loss during the bombing of the Romanian mission was significantly reduced. Facts have proved that the bombing at night is indeed an effective means to evade the German air defense forces.
"Hey! Peter! What do you want to eat back?" The plane was still bumpy, but everyone's mood changed. The co-pilot sat in his place, staring at the seemingly endless sea in the distance. Ask the captain around you easily.
"I want to have a drink! It is a pity that there are not many supplies on Iceland. They only have a small amount of beer ration, and they are all private goods sold by the captains at high prices." The captain also did not have the rigidity when performing the task. Expression, while driving the plane, chatting with his co-pilot.
A dangerous mission has ended, and there is no need to go back to that dull return. There was even a singing voice on the radio, and everyone was lit up by the already lit sky.
"Hey! What's over there?" Among the clouds, an airplane pilot saw black dots from directly in front of them. These black dots gradually became larger, and finally became a German fighter with a secondary fuel tank mounted. Because they are relatively flying, and the speed of the German fighter is extremely fast, the two sides met together in the blink of an eye.
During the emergency construction of Norwegian air defense, Akado did not forget to use the occupied northern England to provide an outpost for his fighter interception network. This is the 14 German fighter jets that took off at two small field airports in the Faroe Islands and the Shetland Islands. They were ordered to wait for the U.S. bomber fleet returning from Norway and intercept these lambs with little convoy power.
The German fighter jets entered the bomber group at the most relaxed moment of the US aircraft, and then, in accordance with the principle of one-strike separation, after a dive to wipe out the ammunition, they quickly returned. In fact, the fuel of these German fighter jets is almost bottoming out, and there is no entangled capital at all, so after taking advantage of them, they decisively left.
While halfway through, the US bomber force was inexplicably intercepted by German fighters on time. These planes were out of combat before the Americans came back. The entire dive attack, and even most American planes did not have time to fire back and slightly "meaning".
In a short period of less than half a minute, the United States had several planes that were screened by German fighters. After all, German fighters are generally equipped with 30 mm caliber cannons, which have a very great lethal effect on American aircraft. Although the ammunition load is limited, it is obviously more advantageous in this opportunity to break away once.
Then these German aircraft, which had lost their high advantage and had no fuel to fight with American aircraft, accelerated their escape from the war zone under the watch of everyone. The whole battle is coming and going quickly. It is simply to put the interception tactical romance of hit and run to the point of no addition.
A plane that was hit by the cockpit of the U.S. military began to cushion the cold sea with smoke, and another plane had hovered and hit the sea because of a broken wing. These pilots survived the Norwegian fire. , So stupidly killed on the way home.
"Is the Icelandic ground command? We were intercepted by German fighters, and five bombers were shot down. A ship may be required to rescue the pilot who fell into the water!" The American commander who looked at the smoke and fell to the sea was helpless to the Icelandic ground. Headquarters reports.
Compared to the Allied pilots who crashed in the interior of Norway and were captured or killed directly, the crew on these planes are really poor people. They will sink in the sea with their aircraft, and then soak in the cold water, waiting for the rescue boat to arrive, or be alive and frozen in the North Atlantic.
Who can think of the two obscure small field airfields on the Faroe Islands and the Shetland Islands, which together can only take off 14 planes in total, even at this time the bravely dispatched the only plane to give himself 'S enemies caused huge damage.
In fact, since the German occupation of the southern part of the British mainland and the surrender of the British in the north, the air force of the Chamberlain regime and the German air force have been painstakingly operating the Faroe Islands and the Shetland Islands. Unfortunately, because of the interference of British submarines and American submarines, Like the allied forces in building Iceland, the Germans want to build two air bases as outposts to bomb Iceland, and there are various problems.
Since the Faroe Islands and the Shetland Islands officially became the islands under German control in 1938, there have been more than 70 German transport ships that have sunk on these two routes. In some unobtrusive places, the Allies are also using their own methods to create various troubles for the Germans.
After experiencing various hardships, the B-17 bombers finally returned to the Icelandic air defense circle, where they met the British fighters who came to meet them. 10 hurricane Rolls-Royce engine improved fighters appeared in these Near the bomber, these triumphant warriors were greeted.
"The bomber dropped all the bombs, but at that time we already knew that the Germans used firelight to interfere with the bombing, and the degree of destruction of the target may be far less optimistic than we thought." General Hugh Dowding put his hands on the US land. The general said: "I think it is a very high estimate to destroy one-tenth of the target."
Americans spoke highly of this bombing. They thought a few hours ago that they had paralyzed one third of Norway ’s iron ore production. However, this estimate was not even believed by Roosevelt himself, so the final bombing damage was set at a happy fifth.
Now the British are throwing cold water at the head to deny the achievements of the American bomber, which makes the general of the United States somewhat unsustainable: "General Douding, we are responsible for attacking the entire Norway. This plan is authorized by President Roosevelt. You need to help us defend It ’s your duty over the entire Iceland. Do n’t talk nonsense if you do n’t need it?

Obviously, Hugh? General Douding is also reluctant to mention it again, but he feels it necessary to prevent Americans from continuing to die so vainly: "The loss of the night bombing was so great that a quarter of the bombing lost I think it ’s more appropriate to study the whole plan for Yi plane. "
The generals of the US Air Force heard this proposal, and the unpleasant expression on their faces disappeared a lot. They also felt that this level of loss was too fatal, and it was simply unbearable for the wealthy United States. After all, these Airplanes are all materials and money. Even if you do n’t feel distressed about it, you always have to worry about the time it takes to build these planes?
But the head of the US Army Air Corps still decided with his teeth clenched and opened his mouth to Hugh? Doutin said: "Tomorrow ... No, it should be this night, we must continue to carry out such bombings, and the supplementary aircraft will come soon. Our losses will be remedied soon. The Germans are extremely disadvantaged in this respect, and they can immediately add to Norway without equipment! "
"Tomorrow ... no, just tonight, continue bombing Norway?" Hugh Dowding was shocked by the Americans' crazy plans. He really could not think of Americans so afraid of sacrifice. Perhaps it was really because they overestimated the results of the night raid, so it would prompt them to continue bombing at all costs.
Thinking of this, Hugh Dowding did not intend to continue to persuade him anymore. He was happy to see Americans bleeding in the war, because that would reduce the pressure on Britain after the end of the war. So he nodded and found an excuse to leave the meeting room: "I'm going to inspect our air defense positions, so I won't accompany the two."
The U.S. Army general looked at Hugh Doudin, who turned around and walked out of the meeting room. He pouted and said with a hint of irony: "The British have been broken by Germany, now they are timid like a hole mouse."
"Yeah, this mouse doesn't know that it's just a mouse now. It wants to point fingers at us." Another US Army officer nodded in agreement. "They didn't even have the courage to leave here to attack Germany." It ’s as if they have done all their hard work here. "
The American general who spoke first laughed: "Maybe, in a few years' time, there will be no country like Britain, only such a poor place as Iceland ..."
