Battle of the Third Reich

At 10 am on May 28, 1940. The mission room of the Air Force Airport at Bourne Base, Belgium.

Wolff, the chief operational officer of the newly formed Rheinhardt's direct aviation division, took a correction and struck **** the blackboard filled with the route map.

"Quiet! Quiet! Now is not the time for you to express your opinion. Listen to me and finish talking!"

The colonel looked down at the pilots who were whispering and talking about the flight plan. General Reinhardt really found a good job for himself. When I first received my order to be appointed as an aviation division combat officer, I thought that the general was repaying his help to him during the last escort. At that time, I also wanted to work hard to reward the general's promotion. But I didn't expect that he had given it to his own flying wing. These were all veteran flying wing, and those pilots also participated in countless air battles. Can I really control such a group of Air Force pilots who are clearly showing arrogance? I knew that I would stay in the base camp and be my **** leader.

"Hey, few of you, don't discuss it first, just listen to me! What is your problem?"

Wolf felt that he could not help but scold his mother.

"Colonel! I have a question." A pilot stood up and raised his arms.

"Let's talk, what's the problem." That's fine. It's better to have a conversation than to ignore yourself and quarrel below. Colonel Wolf is finally satisfied.

"We don't understand this flight plan a little bit. The combat methods you mentioned earlier are not suitable for use by light fighters like us. For example, we must keep a distance from the enemy." The pilot seemed a little bit angry. Uneven. "We are all fighter pilots. Of course, the closer we are to the enemy, the better. How can we keep a distance from them?"

Wolfe asked, but he didn't even understand why the general had to formulate such rules of battle. He opened his mouth and was thinking about how to answer.

"It seems that everyone can't fully understand this battle plan. Let me explain it to you." Xu Jun walked in from the door.

"stand up!"

As Wolfe screamed. The pilots jumped from the seat like springs, changing the expression that didn't care in front of them, standing one by one with a serious chest, looking at their supreme commander in awe. Xu Jun paid a salute, and the pilots quickly and neatly returned the salute.

Xu Jun walked in front of that Wolf and smiled and asked, "Wolf, how does it feel to be a war officer?"

"Report general, it's okay."

"Haha, it seems that you haven't integrated into these pilots yet. You have to remember that you were a pilot before you became a combat officer, and you should look at your responsibilities with the pilot's eyes."

"Understood, General." Wolfe began to wonder what Xu Jun said in his heart.

Xu Jun turned to look at the group of pilots, and it turned out to be an elite force. Everyone seemed to be full of their own personalities.

"I heard you guys didn't understand these combat plans. I can explain these issues to you. However, I can't do it here. Gentlemen, follow me to the outside apron now, where I prepared for everyone. Some new toys, you will understand my plan by then. Also, take your chair, Wolfe, and give me one too." Then Xu Jun turned and walked out of the mission room.

The pilots followed Xu Jun to the apron and found that a large area was cleared there, and several aircraft that had been parked there were moved aside. Three heavy-duty flatbed trucks were parked in the places where the planes were originally parked. The trucks were filled with cargo and piled up very high, but they were covered with tarps. I don’t know what those were, but from the outline, they should be some. box.

Xu Jun walked to the truck, stopped, and nodded to Hans by the truck. Hans also nodded in tribute. Xu Jun turned to look at the pilots, who were now standing in three small squares according to their respective units, holding chairs in their hands.

"Relax, gentlemen, you are the elite I specially selected from the entire Luftwaffe. Now I am not explaining the mission, we just want to have a good exchange. Now sit down, you don’t want to stand here and listen to me all the time. Well, you know what I can say.” Xu Jun said with a smile.

The pilots also laughed. They arranged their chairs and sat down. Xu Jun also sat in the chair Wolf prepared for him, and took a document handed over from Hans. He smiled and said to the pilots.

"I have to apologize to the Wolff combatant. I blame me for not explaining his plan to him before, but these things haven't arrived yet, so I can't explain it to him, hehehe, even he I didn’t understand what I want you to do. Now that these things are here, I can let you intuitively understand your tasks."

Xu Jun stood up and paced back and forth in front of the pilots.

"Now everyone must know that the British have been blocked by us at the port of Dunkerque. Our army troops have firmly trapped them on the ground. There are now two hundred thousand British, Belgian, The French ** team. We have surrounded their more than 200,000 troops in other places, and our victory is almost here."

After hearing Xu Jun's words, the pilots made a burst of exclamation. They knew that the battle was large, but they didn't expect to surround 400,000 enemy troops. And it was General Reinhardt who planned and commanded this battle, not to mention that he is still acting as commander-in-chief of the Air Force. If he does not seem to be able to take up this position without two subordinates, they can’t help but start for themselves to become the general’s direct force. A little proud.

The pilots listened carefully to Xu Jun's words, and now they really started to be curious about Xu Jun's air strike plan.

"However, due to the large number of enemies in the encirclement, the army must pay a considerable price if they want to eliminate them. Under my command, the soldiers are not allowed to die in vain. So I decided to take advantage of the enemy's speed. They exhausted their supplies and completely trapped them, forcing them to surrender. In this way, we would not have to spend the lives of our brave German boys for this army destined to be destroyed.

However, we are now facing a serious problem. The Britons will never be reconciled that their army was trapped in that port by us. They are not reconciled to the failure of their army. They began to prepare to escape and escape from the sea. And our navy is not strong enough to block their access to the sea.

So, I am ready to allow our powerful air force to accomplish this difficult task. Let you accomplish tasks that the Navy and Army cannot accomplish, and block the road from the port to the sea. "

After listening to Xu Jun, the pilots below made another noise. The pilots were all excited when they knew that the task they were about to perform was so important. Xu Jun smiled and looked at the excited pilots below. He was very satisfied with the responses of those pilots.

He went on to say: "Your task now is to completely cut off the retreat of the British. I believe we can do this with our powerful and elite air force. But don't think that this task is very simple. This blockade will be for A big test for our German Air Force.

Because the British will not wait in silly for us to blockade and bomb, they also have a lot of air defense weapons, at least the ammunition of those weapons is still sufficient. And the terrain of that port is also very complicated, they have many passages to board the ship. In particular, there are more than 3,000 meters of soft sandy beaches, and our heavy bombs cannot exert their power on that kind of ground.

The British will also dispatch their elite Royal Air Force to provide cover for their retreat. You will encounter a model you have never seen and a tenacious resistance you have never encountered. If we are not fully prepared, I can guarantee that we will pay a heavy price for this. If the life of my brave fighter pilot is needed in exchange for victory, then this victory will never make me feel any pride and glory. "

The pilots heard that their mission was not as simple as they had just thought. They were particularly moved by Xu Jun’s last words. They now feel that fighting under such a great and noble commander may be their life. The most honored thing, their attitude towards Xu Jun now changed from awe to admiration. The pilots sat quietly and waited for Xu Jun to continue. They decided that Xu Jun must have prepared the best countermeasures for them.

"Because of these problems, I designed the entire air raid plan. I also prepared suitable weapons for everyone. Now let's take a look at the first toy I prepared for everyone."

Xu Jun nodded to Hans. Hans walked to the first truck and led several Air Force soldiers to pull off the tarpaulin covering the cargo. Rows of new ammo boxes appeared in front of everyone. Several Air Force soldiers lifted a box from the car and placed it at Xu Jun's feet. Hans also took a square box from the cab and gave it to Xu Jun.

The ammunition box was opened, and a strange bomb appeared in front of the pilot.

"It's a "butterfly" bomb." A pilot recognized the bomb at a glance, and he yelled: "I have used it in Spain, and it's very good against cluster targets."

"Yes, this is indeed a "butterfly" bomb, but I still like his other name, "Devil's Egg"." Xu Jun opened the square box, and a "butterfly" bomb that had already been opened came out. Submunition.

"Everyone knows the power of this cluster bomb. Although it is not as good as those heavy bombs, it is the most effective weapon against the infantry gathered on the beach of the pier. And the bombs in front of you have been in accordance with mine. Modifications were requested. They were the first bombs thrown at Dunkirk, and their mission was not to destroy, but to obstruct."

"General, this kind of bomb can't deal with roads and buildings. How can it hinder the enemy." A pilot finally couldn't help but ask the question.

"What's your name?" Xu Jun asked with a smile.

"Hans, Egerhard. Lieutenant Bob, His Excellency General."

"Fighter 54?"

"Yes, general."

"Haha, all right, Bob, catch it."

Xu Jun threw the bullet in his hand at Bob. At that time, the second lieutenant was taken aback, and he quickly caught the small bomb in a hurry.

"General, this is too dangerous. Please don't throw the bomb casually." Bob complained: "Almost scared me to death."

"Haha, my second lieutenant Bob, this is a bomb that dismantles the fuse and will not explode. The bomb that exploded is not the most terrible, the most terrible is the one that hasn’t exploded yet, and what’s more scary is knowing that it will explode But I don’t know when the bomb exploded."

Xu Jun paused and glanced at the pilots who were nodding in agreement.

"And your task today is to throw this bomb. This most frightening bomb." Xu Jun smiled and gestured to Bob. Bob quickly threw the small bomb back to Xu Jun. Xu Jun held the strange little thing to the pilots and continued to speak.

"What you dropped today will be a specially modified "Demon Egg". They are equipped with four fuzes respectively.

The first type is the air detonation fuze, which will detonate in the air five meters above the ground, which is enough for the British to enjoy it.

The second type is a timed fuze. The set time is random, ranging from two minutes to two days. Even the person installing it does not know how long it takes for these things to explode after landing. Its role is to keep those British soldiers away from it before it explodes. I believe that no one will dare to approach it except the British engineers.

The third is to deal with those brave British engineers. It contains a mechanical fuze, which is a very precise machine. The fuze is activated ten seconds after landing. By then, as long as it is taken off the ground, or it destroys its posture when it landed, it will immediately explode. Those engineers who did not distinguish the difference between it and the time bomb would go to God before they understood what was going on. "

After hearing Xu Jun's words, the pilots laughed.

"What about the last one? General." Wolff asked with a smile.

"Haha, don't worry, my combat officer, the most interesting one is the last one. It will not explode even if it is smashed with a hammer. It is equipped with a radio-controlled fuze, only when we feel it necessary to explode it. It will only explode when the pilot on the plane equipped with the remote control presses a button. Now everyone can know what kind of role this small bomb can play."

When the pilots first started listening to Xu Jun's introduction, they just thought the weapon was very interesting, but when they thought about it now, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs. It's terrifying, it's really a dangerous and vicious weapon.

They now began to understand why Xu Jun used this bomb. As long as you spread this bomb all over the coast of Dunkerque, whether it is a pier or a beach, it will become a dead zone. Anyone who enters these areas will risk their lives, even if they are trained engineers. It is also difficult to keep yourself safe. Until those British have not figured out the structure and characteristics of this bomb, even if they cover it with a cannon, it will be difficult to completely remove all the bombs.

But if bombing by bombers can also serve the same purpose, why do the generals still use such bombs?

At this time, Wolfe first asked everyone's questions: "General, in fact, our bombers can control those places throughout the day. Why use such bombs."

"Haha, two reasons." Xu Jun nodded to Wolfe with satisfaction. Then spoke to the pilots.

"Everyone may think the same as Colonel Wolff. I used to think that we can achieve our goal by bombers alone, as long as we put on a detonator and even the beach will not affect the power of the bomb.

But when I made this plan, I found a problem. What if the British were in bad weather when retreating, and our air force could not find the target on the ground, I must find a way to block it before the air force can effectively attack. Resist the enemy's retreat. Only then did I decide to use this bomb.

Now I have two reasons. First, it is now shrouded in clouds and fog, at least it may not be clear until tomorrow afternoon. We couldn’t do accurate bombing in these two days, so I only had to use this small bomb to spread all over the coast, at least to allow them to be honest from this evening to when we continue to attack tomorrow afternoon.

Second, with this kind of thing, all you have to do is to bomb blindly, as long as you ensure that this thing falls on the beach on the pier on the coast. It doesn't matter if you can see it or not.

It’s not just you, all the bomber wing of the entire Second Air Force will participate in this attack.

Your mission is to protect the bombers in addition to bombing them there. You may encounter an attack by the Royal Air Force today, so I prepared a second toy for you. "

Xu Jun then asked Hans to pull off the tarpaulin on the second truck.
