When the plan was finally sent to the US Army Aviation Command in the Middle East, everyone was stunned by the genius plan. Yes, completely stunned. The bombing plan for the entire air raid on the Romanian oil field can be said to be seamless, and even the perfect attack plan cannot be overstated.
In this time and space, Du Lite, the air force commander who planned the bombing of Tokyo, did not shine in its original position, but appeared in a large non-existent situation when the United States was eager to change the situation in the Middle East. In the air raid plan. He used his imagination that day to formulate a bombing plan for the United States with a high success rate.
The whole plan is divided into two parts, which are carried out simultaneously and complement each other. First, the first part is that the United States divided the bomber forces in its hands into two parts. One part consisted of 160 bombers to form a huge bomber formation. Under the cover of the fighter, suddenly a gesture of crossing the Turkish airspace was made. Dulit thought that One gesture was enough for the Turks to immediately deliver early warning to the Luftwaffe.
The size of the 160 aircraft is enough to attract the attention of the German army. At least the German army will respond to the invasion of the US aircraft. Even the US Army Aviation Corp. ’s own assessment is convinced that Germany will aim the anti-aircraft gun position in the main direction of the attack. And a large number of fighter jets were launched to intercept the US Army aviation bomber force.
At the same time, on the other side, the remaining 150 U.S. bombers will take off from the Soviet Union and enter the Romanian airspace directly from the Crimea region through the Black Sea. The bombing of the oil fields there with the shortest distance will completely destroy German oil. The main source of resources. The American B-17 bomber that took off from behind the Crimean peninsula of the Soviet Union was the real "kill" this time.
At the same time, taking off from the Soviet Union also has a more advantageous advantage, that is, the distance is not long, you can use the P-40 aircraft for full escort, even if encountering German aircraft interception and interference, the loss will not be like relying solely on bombers It's as huge as an unescorted bombing. In this way, as long as half of the bombers are sacrificed, the mission can be successfully completed. Compared with any previous plan, Dulit's plan is more detailed and comprehensive, and the feasibility is also higher.
"Now there is a question left, that is how to let the Soviets cooperate with us and provide us with the airport." A general of the US Army Aviation Corps glanced at Major Dulit, who deliberately rushed from the United States to the Middle East, The latter is now taking a nap in a chair to relieve jet lag fatigue caused by long journeys.
Major Dulit, who was asked, opened his eyes and smiled a little shyly, and then said, "It's a very simple thing. I flew from Washington, USA to Las Vegas, and then I flew to the Soviet Union, and then Moscow, after having negotiated this matter with Stalin, flew here again. The Soviet Union had no problems, they promised us to use the airport and facilities, even the aviation fuel is ready. "
Stalin agreed very happily on this matter. After all, the Soviet Union is now preparing for a crucial winter battle. If the Americans can create some trouble for the Germans on fuel supply before the winter battle begins, then the Soviet Union The process of taking the initiative on the battlefield will be smoother. Even if it only allowed the Germans to lose tens of thousands of barrels of fuel, would it be huge support for the Soviet troops on the Eastern Front?
Therefore, Stalin and Zhukov are very welcome to the bombing of Romania by US forces, and even expressed that they are willing to dispatch 100 Soviet double-bomber bombers to accompany the US aircraft and increase the destruction of the Romanian oil field in Chengdu. However, due to the difference in flight speed between the bomber formations of the two sides, this coordinated combat plan became irrelevant, and it became a Soviet bomber trailing the US bomber. When the US military returned, it conducted a second bombing against the oil field.
Although the joint bombing of the United States and the Soviet Union eventually became separate, but in any case, the action plan of Dulit ’s bombing of Romania really paved the way and made the preliminary preparations. The rest The only thing is to execute such a thing. So the Americans started to take action. On November 19th, 155 American b-17 bombers were filled with bombs, filled with fuel, and prepared to be foolproof, they departed from the Middle East and flew to pro-Soviet Kazakhstan. After passing there, transfer to several Soviet airfields near the Black Sea.
The atmosphere among the remaining Army aviation pilots is very heavy, because the 160 b-17 bombers left in the Middle East are actually destined to fate. They are responsible for flying the bait to send the bait to die, for the future sacrifice of the United States of America those people. But they are still calm, because they, like the fanatical German SS, are willing to die generously for their motherland.
On November 24, on a sunny morning, the siren sounded over the airfield where the Army Aviation was stationed. The US bomber pilots, who had already prepared everything, began to board their aircraft under the gang of ground crews. They He was asked to parachute to escape when he was hit, or to explain his troop number and rank afterwards. The priest accompanying the army kept drawing crosses on the side of the plane, and the atmosphere became strange for a while.
"God bless you!" In the voice of blessings, these American pilots climbed the narrow staircase and turned into the cabin door, and came inside the bomber they had been flying for a long time. The machine gunners on both sides were checking the ammunition and the belly. The gunner turret shooter below did not dare to get into his position because of design issues. He could only sit in a small fuselage and talk to the gunner turret shooter on the back of the aircraft. The topics were some tips on how to intercept German aircraft to attack himself. Problem, they must pay attention to the German fighters rushing in each direction, and try to keep these fighters out of the effective range of the opponent's weapons.
The remaining aircraft have reduced the amount of ammunition carried, because it is necessary to install additional armor protective steel plates for the pilots, engines, and shooters of the aircraft, although the thin 5 mm iron plate does not enhance the survivability of the aircraft. However, these pilots are still determined to install such a layer of iron skin similar to comforting their fragile nerves.
"You said this bombing, can we succeed? I heard that in the previous bombings, no plane could return to the base of departure." A young American gunner was wearing his own parachute while asking The veteran partner, the two of them are responsible for operating the 12.7 mm caliber machine guns on both sides of the fuselage of the B-17 aircraft. The recruits look a little nervous, and their voices are a little trembling.
"Boy, you can win without a dead without a war. The previous few planes did not come back. This does not mean that we will not come back this time ... Of course, the previous few times have returned safely, and this does not mean that We can come back safely in one go. "The veteran beside him sorted out the chain on the machine gun and said with a smile:" On your own, you can fly back hard. "
"Hongtao 1, the runway has been cleared, and you can take off now! Hongtao 1 understands! It is preparing to take off!" In the cockpit of the plane, the pilot is confirming his order of departure with the tower. It was a busy scene. The US Army aviation units in the Middle East almost came out. 152 bombers cooperated with 40 fighters. The formation flying scene was absolutely spectacular.
The original plan changed some details. For example, in order to ensure that the number of aircraft taking off from the Soviet Union can be guaranteed to be 150, so the b-17 bomber that flew is not 150, but 155, so that even if there are machinery Problems such as malfunctions can still guarantee that the number of aircraft taking off is not less than 150.
So there are only 155 remaining troops in the Middle East, plus the number of aircraft with mechanical failures these days, so the number of aircraft that can take off is 152, not the originally planned number of 160. But even so, when more than 150 aircraft with 40 fighters began to approach the border with Turkey, this unprecedentedly huge aircraft formation in the Middle East terrified many local residents who looked up to the sky. From the time when the caliph was born, after a long period of time, people here have not seen such a scene, nor can it be imagined that the war has long bid farewell to the scimitar and the horse, and it has become the terrible look today.
"This ... this is really crazy! How could humans resist such terrible weapons of war? Are you sure that the Germans' power is more terrible than this?" Pushing his window open, he saw that those in the far horizon did not pass by A U.S. bomber formation in the city, a Turkish general asked his adjutant who came to report in horror.
"Germans also have so many terrible planes!" The deputy replied, looking at the horizon with a lingering fear.
"What are you waiting for! Tell the German liaison officer about our findings quickly! Hurry! Remind them to prepare for these planes!" The general commanded loudly.
"Do you want to contact the Air Force? General! There are 30 me-109c fighters aided by the Germans at the nearby airport. We ..." the adjutant asked.
The general saw from the window that American planes did not mean to bombard his station and the city. He took a long breath and then turned back, waved his hand and said, "Forget it! It's terrible to retain strength. Opponents, let the Germans deal with it themselves! "
