Chapter 994: German attack

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
Just as Americans know almost everything about Norway, the Luftwaffe is also very familiar with Iceland ’s allied bases. ◇ ↓, when they did not have a meteor fighter in the UK, they made a large number of reconnaissance bases in Iceland and drew high-definition aerial maps.
When these things were placed on General Dick's table, he knew that his plane should bomb those places. However, on the third night, he temporarily cancelled the order of night bombing. Because after repeated cost-effectiveness, the German Air Force Command found that night bombing was not worth the gains for Germany.
"Even if the British deployed more than 100 fighters in Iceland, we still have an absolute quantitative advantage when taking off and bombing. In this case, choosing a night bombing with insufficient bombing accuracy seems to interfere with the bombing effect." A strategic bomber The senior commander spoke his mind.
And his idea also represents the views of most other people-the bombing of Iceland by the German bomber group should be carried out during the day, which can better exert the advantages of the German bomber.
The first is that in terms of navigation and formation, daytime bombing can better organize aircraft and scheduling. Navigation and flight are relatively more convenient, and it is easier for pilots to maintain their flight formation during the day.
The second reason is that the German Air Force feels that as long as it fights a large-scale bombing, even after losing about 100 aircraft, it can destroy most of the military facilities in Iceland. This was an attempt worth trying for General Dick. As long as he suffered a heavy loss, he could solve the Icelandic threat once and for all.
The third reason is actually an analysis report submitted by the fighter forces. They think that it is already a limit to accommodate 400 aircraft on the Allied military base in Iceland, because there are almost 300 bases of bombers taking off from there, then The formation of Allied fighters stationed there will not be more than 70, or even less.
The fourth important reason comes from the navy. The head of the submarine godfather, Dunnitz, assured Dick and General Catherine that under the submarine blockade, Iceland ’s allied air base was more powerful than expected. weak. This guarantee is very persuasive. After all, the intelligence that the Allied forces are strengthening Iceland is the navy ’s submarine force.
Similarly, the German fighter force also put forward another opinion of its escort: Although the ta-152 fighter, even with the auxiliary fuel tank attached, cannot fly over Iceland to escort, but if they try their best to take off at the northern airport of the UK, they can ensure Most of the time the German bombers were under escort.
In addition to the several commanders of the strategic bomber unit, they are fully confident in the performance of the butcher bomber and the ability of self-defense, so changing the bombing time to daytime seems to be a very beneficial thing for the Luftwaffe.
So after the battle plan was reported to the head of state, it was finally approved. The head of state agreed that General Dick used more than 380 butcher long-range strategic bombers, and under the of 30 ta-152 fighters, strategically bombed Iceland during the day to retaliate against the Allied destruction against Norway.
The third day of Norway ’s bombing was easily spent without both parties attacking each other. Then in the early morning of the fourth day, the moment the sun just rose from the east, the atmosphere over the entire British Isles suddenly changed.
Under the tense password, from the concealed barracks, a team of German bomber crew members ran out of the team. These crew members, male and female, quickly formed a neat square array on the grass.
"Stand up!" The ground commander, a major general, walked in front of the crew members and looked at the young faces with his hands behind his back. Someone behind him shouted the salute password, and then all the soldiers gathered their legs together and raised their chests.
The major general waved his hand and motioned for everyone to take a rest before saying, "You are all my proud men, and I have nothing to explain to you. I only have one request for you, please be sure to do your best. Efforts ... come back alive! "
"Long live Akado? Rudolph!" Everyone raised their arms proudly, stood upright, and gave a German hands-up ceremony to their boss. They once bombed London, bombed the North African desert, bombed Stalingrad and Moscow-no bomber unit in the world has had as much bombing combat experience as them. With this alone, they deserve to be proud of themselves. With this alone, they can be called the most powerful bomber force in the world.
"Depart!" The major general waved the huge phalanx, and some members began to send their supplies bags to the plane, while the captain and pilots gathered around the ground commanders. Finally Confirm your flight route, and the return direction and so on.
The Germans have the most long-range practical experience in bombing long-range navigation in the world. When they are at most, they can dispatch more than 500 aircraft of various models at one time and form a large-scale air attack on enemy targets that are thousands of miles away. They have the actual combat record of destroying the target under the interference of the enemy's dense air defense firepower. For them, Iceland is just a weak target, nothing more.
With the help of ground crews, the huge propellers on the wings of the butcher's strategic bomber began to turn, the sound of the engine was deafening, the whole base was busy in this regular sound, one German pilot after another boarded the plane, and then Aim the plane's nose at the takeoff runway.
"Finally confirm the status of each part of the aircraft! Check your own instruments, then inform the ground tower, report it when you are ready, and take off!" In the headset, the officer on the ground command tower, who was responsible for guiding these planes to take off, pinched the radio, Speak loudly to these pilots.
They took off in the north of Ireland and the United Kingdom, formed huge bomber fleets at sea, and then visited the only allied base in Iceland. Along with the take-off of these planes, a total of 110 German fighter jets will be returned. These fw-190d will return home halfway, and the mission will be completed by the remaining 30 German Ta-152 fighter jets.
The flying fighters frightened all those who saw these planes. The locals finally got rid of the shadow of the war. The civilians who were busy resuming production, looked up at the sky and watched the dense German planes fly over their heads. Words come.
Has it been more than a year? They seem to have forgotten the nightmare of the German Iron Cross hovering above their heads, and seem to have forgotten the sound of the Stuttgar bomber dive down with a sharp howl. But at this moment, the Luftwaffe used the most repressive means to remind everyone that the war seemed far from over.
A middle-aged man with a leather bag ready for work was holding a bowler hat above his head in one hand, squinting at the butcher bombers flying with the engine roaring, his face pale. He lowered his head and looked around, then quickly turned back and ran desperately towards his residence.
At the corner of the street, two patrolling northern British policemen glanced at each passing person, trying to find hidden "His Majesty's Spy" from these people. The man who ran back saw the two policemen and immediately stopped his pace, pretending to be casual, and slowly walked to his residence.
Having finally reached his residence, he hurriedly opened the door and carefully looked around, before closing the door and locking all the locks. Then he sat down on the chair in front of his desk, pulled out the drawer, and pulled out a spy-only radio station. Contrary to the content on the secret code, the spy hiding in the north of England sent a telegram to Iceland frantically.
In the telegraph room in Iceland, a British telegrapher who received the telegram carefully checked the received telegram, and then his expression became difficult to see. He grabbed the telegraph and hurriedly ran towards it. Air Defense Command in the distance.
Less than a minute later, several officers of the US Army Air Corps and a few British officers were summoned here, with serious expressions on their faces, because they had just been informed that they were German planes. Rallying, about one hundred took off from the British mainland and flew in the direction of Iceland.
"General Hugh? Douding, what I want to know is how many fighters we can use for air defense operations!" A US Army general, frowned, asked in a heavy tone: "You know, there are hundreds of them here. Airplanes can only be stacked on the airport ... "
"The planes that can take off, including 7 meteor fighters that can take off ... There are 16 hurricane fighters and 19 p-40 Rolls-Royce improved models. The rest of the aircraft have no way to participate in the battle because of the failure, and the rest is the day before yesterday. The 20 fighters that arrived here, I do n’t know how many of these planes can take off. "Hugh Dowding knows his own family and directly answers the other party ’s questions.
"..." Americans know that few of their fighters are completely maintained, and now it seems that only about 10 can take off and face up. Taking into account all the power of the British, there are only 52 fighters available. Although there are seven of the latest jet fighters in these planes, this number really makes people wonder. The most terrible thing is that among the 52 aircraft in the hands of the Allied forces, there are still 16 hurricane fighters that ca n’t fly to intercept the Germans at a height of 10,000 meters-that is, the only power available to the Allied forces is 36 aircraft. That's it.
