My Third Empire

Chapter 995: Fighter returning

Biquge www.wuxiaspot.com, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!

Daytime bombing allows the offensive bomber formation to better keep its formation intact, and it can also better resist the interference attacks of enemy aircraft. Apex novels, and more importantly, the offense during the day can better aim at the target without the result of a large number of bomb misses.

And the choice of day bombing can also reflect the self-confidence and strength comparison of the two sides from the side. The side that often dares to face its own enemy has more or less certain advantages in power. This is a concrete manifestation of the accumulation of advantages in modern warfare.

Now the US Army aviation commanders have to face the German Air Force strategic bomber unit that has begun to take advantage of its own advantages and does not reason with its opponents. They had only 36 aircraft attacking their opponents, but the enemy had almost ten times the strength.

"If it were me, I would order all the bombers to leave Iceland immediately. Now the time is almost enough to fill the aircraft with fuel. It is better to fly back to the United States and be destroyed by German bombers here." Hugh Dowding knows the current situation. Very bad, so he suggested.

He now knows that even if the air defense of Iceland is strengthened by jet fighters, it is still so fragile. High-tech weapons ca n’t afford to be consumed in such large-scale wars, even if they are even more powerful, they will be superior opponents. Overwhelm with quantity.

Faced with the German bombing that could not be stopped, the British Air Force Commander Hugh, who had had such problems to deal with for a long time, immediately took out what he thinks the most stable response plan: let the Americans retreat, leaving a similar The empty Iceland came to defend against the German Air Force bomber force.

This is the best way of resistance he can think of now, allowing fighter forces to use a concealed secret airport as a backing without any pressure and try to shoot down German bombers as much as possible, hurting the Germans and letting them not Dare to come to Iceland easily to carry out air raid missions.

But the plan he put forward now means that Americans have to lose a lot of things. Because the basic construction of the Icelandic base is very imperfect, the United States opened the British Iceland outpost this time, in fact, gambling in the spirit of the Germans not daring to fight back.

The United States judged that the Germans should be very afraid of British meteor jet fighters based on the fact that Germany canceled the reconnaissance aircraft sent to Iceland, so they thought that the German Air Force would not go to Iceland to counterattack on a large scale. The island is a very unwise thing for fuel and ammunition.

So this time, the American bombers going to Iceland carried too much stuff, and it was so staggering-the large amount of fuel required by the US Army Air Force, as well as a variety of ammunition, were all transported by the brain. When I arrived at the Icelandic base, this hastily constructed Icelandic base had no ability to hold so many things.

Because of the rush to build various important facilities, such as waterworks, dormitory and shore defense facilities, the underground air defense facilities throughout Iceland are basically equivalent to nothing being built-no underground warehouses, no underground bunkers, large Some fortifications are built directly on the ground.

Another headache is that because of the lack of infrastructure in Iceland, it is negligible, so when a large amount of oil and ammunition are shipped to Iceland, these things have to be piled up in the open air field, Or simply store it in an ordinary warehouse.

Once encountered by bombers, it is difficult to ensure that these valuable materials can survive. As long as a wave of air strikes, the fuel and ammunition hoarded by the Allied forces throughout Iceland will become German bombs, exploding and destroying everything on Iceland. After losing the Icelandic base, the Allied forces established a strategic outpost to contain Germany, which was easily destroyed by the Germans.

The commander of the US Army Aviation looked helplessly at General Hugh Douding, and finally said hardly: "Once our plane returns to fly back to the United States, everything here is lost ... there is really only loss. We bombed Norway. 'S attempt to abandon our previous achievements, and the only chance we can defeat the Germans has completely disappeared! "

"As long as we still have power! As long as we are still alive, we will have the opportunity to defeat the enemy! Opportunity is always there ... But if we lose the power of attack, then even if we discover the opportunity, it is impossible to fight back! "Hugh Dowding came up with words from the King of England to comfort them, to comfort the US officials, and then he looked at each other, hoping to get their approval."

Time is money, time is life, and time is a prerequisite for everything. Just as the Americans and the British were entangled in how to deal with the German airstrikes, the Luftwaffe bomber formation was already on the way-a total of 380 bombers assembled into a huge air formation, like the migratory birds returning to the nest And flew towards their target.

A large group of fw-190d fighters began to return home because of the voyage relationship. They have completed their tasks and safely sent these bombers to the designated location, and the bombers directly under the sea served as observation and landmarks. On the German submarine, more than a dozen German navy officers and soldiers were waving their hands enthusiastically at the sky.

"This is Little Mauchi Bomber Wing! Our **** fighters are leaving! They should be the last fw-190d fighters to leave the **** position! All our safety now depends on the 30 ta-152 fighters overhead "A pilot!" A pilot reported the formation by short-distance radio, and the German bomber was still moving towards Iceland.

In fact, the Germans did not carry out boring radio silence, because their opponent British Air Force has set up several high-power radar stations in Iceland, which can find German aircraft at a long distance-this distance has not been tested. However, from the perspective of the efficiency of the British army intercepting the German reconnaissance aircraft, the detection distance of more than 100 kilometers should be no problem.

Coupled with the large number of British spies left in the north of England, German planes may be spotted by the British as soon as they depart from there. Turning off the radio at this time seems to have no covert effect except for creating trouble for yourself. At least when coordinating aircraft formations, short-distance radio communication is allowed.

"30 t-152 fighters? This lineup is on the Eastern Front, and half of it, the Soviets dare not let the plane take off to challenge. Because for them, it is no different than sending them to death!" The officer laughed and ridiculed on the radio: "Pay attention to the clouds in front! If calculated according to the voyage, we have almost entered the British air defense range!"

"Bomber 144 calls! Bomber 144 calls! I found a British destroyer! Unsurprisingly! Our actions should have been discovered!" The British were not fools, they quickly mobilized to patrol nearby Ships such as destroyers and torpedo boats conduct long-range air defenses, hoping to find traces of German aircraft earlier-now it seems that they have succeeded.

...

"Give orders! Take all the aircraft into the air!" The US Army Air Commander finally chose to compromise. After all, he did not have the courage to face Germany's overwhelming bombing directly, nor did he dare to put everything in the air defense operations of the poor 36 fighters.

The German intelligence service is very close to reality, and the Navy ’s speculation is also correct: because of the rush to build the base and being too confident in its low value, the British air defense force deployed in Iceland is very limited. There are only about 50 anti-aircraft guns, and they are all scattered throughout Iceland. Half of them are fixed with cement on the permanent reserve, and even a temporary concentration is impossible.

Just as the Americans ordered their planes to take off from Iceland, the air defense alarm was also sounded properly. A British communications officer hurried to General Hugh Douding and handed him a telegram: "General! The Navy found a large number of German aircraft, more than 200! It was close to Iceland!"

"Refuel urgently! Let all take-off planes take off immediately! The fighter takes off and confronts, the bomber returns to the United States!" Hugh Dowding glanced at the officers of the US Army Aviation, sighed, and moved quickly to his command post. Walked over. After all, this is a British base. He is the supreme commander of air defense here. He must do his duty to defend everything here from German aircraft.

"Woo ... Woo ..." The air-raid alarm sounded reverberantly across Iceland. The pilots of the Royal Air Force had already got into their own planes. They had already debugged all kinds of instruments, just waiting for an order. , They drove their planes to meet those abominable German devils.

"Start the engine! Combat!" The ground commander standing next to the phone shouted loudly after receiving the order to take off. The ground crews in the distance began to guide the aircraft into the runway for takeoff, and the sudden sound of the engine of the aircraft could be heard everywhere for a while.

A British pilot got into his meteor jet fighter and said to the tower with a radio communicator: "Meteor 7 is ready to take off! Everything is normal! If it is my turn to take off, please notify me immediately." , The more fuel-efficient P-40 Rolls-Royce engine improved fighter, has begun to climb.

...

In the high sky, in the fuselage of the German bomber, a young German female gunner drilled into the narrow turret. She turned the turret lightly and aimed the gun at the most likely position for the enemy.

In her headphones, there was a noisy voice: "The shooters of each running position immediately entered combat readiness! The ta-152 fighter jet is about to return!"
