Chapter 994

Daytime bombing can make the attacking bomber formation better maintain their formation integrity, and also better resist the interference attack of enemy aircraft. More importantly, the attack in the daytime can better aim at the target, without a large number of bombs missing the target.

Moreover, the choice of daytime bombing can also reflect the self-confidence and strength of both sides. The party who often dares to face up to the enemy has more or less a certain advantage in strength, which is the concrete manifestation of the accumulated advantages in modern war.

Now the US Army Aviation commanders have to face the German air force strategic bombers who have begun to use their own advantages and do not reason with their opponents. They had only 36 planes to attack, but the enemy was almost ten times as strong.

"If it was me, I would order all the bombers to leave Iceland immediately. Now it's almost time to fill the plane with fuel and fly back to the United States, where it was destroyed by German bombers." Sue? Knowing that the situation was very bad, he suggested.

Now he knows that Iceland's air defense is still so fragile even if it is strengthened by jet fighters. High tech weapons can't stand consumption in such a large-scale war. No matter how powerful they are, they will be inundated by superior opponents.

In the face of the German bombing that may not be able to stop, the British Air Force Commander Hugh, who has long had experience in dealing with this kind of problem? General dodding immediately came up with what he thought was the safest solution: let the Americans retreat, leaving a nearly empty Iceland to defend against the German Air Force bombers.

This is the best way he can think of to resist now. Under no pressure, the fighter forces can use a hidden secret airport as the backing to shoot down the German bombers as much as possible and hurt the Germans, so that they can't easily come to Iceland to carry out air strikes.

But now the plan he put forward represents that Americans will lose a lot of things. Because the infrastructure of the Icelandic base is far from perfect, the United States is gambling with the mentality that the Germans dare not fight back when it opens the British Icelandic outpost this time.

According to the fact that Germany cancelled the reconnaissance plane sent to Iceland, the United States judged that the Germans should be very afraid of the British meteor jet fighters, so they thought that the German air force would not go to Iceland on a large scale to counterattack. After all, bombing a desolate island was a very unwise thing compared with consuming fuel and ammunition.

So this time, the US bombers going to Iceland were carrying too many things, to the point of smacking. A large amount of fuel and all kinds of ammunition needed by the US Army Aviation forces were all transported to the Icelandic base, and the hastily built Icelandic base was not able to hold so many things.

Because of the urgent need to build all kinds of important facilities, such as waterworks, dormitories and coastal defense facilities, the underground air defense facilities in Iceland are basically equivalent to nothing - no underground warehouses, no underground bunkers, most of the fortifications are built directly on the surface.

Another headache is that the lack of infrastructure in Iceland is so negligible that when a large number of oil and ammunition are transported to Iceland, they have to be piled up in the open air or simply stored in ordinary warehouses.

Once bombed by bombers, it is difficult to ensure that these precious materials can survive. As long as a wave of air strikes, the fuel and ammunition accumulated by the allies in Iceland will become German bombs, which will explode and destroy everything in Iceland. Without the Icelandic base, the strategic outpost established by the Allied forces to contain Germany was easily destroyed by the German forces.

The commander of the U.S. Army Aviation looked at Hugh helplessly? General doding, with difficulty, said: "once our plane returns to the United States, all the losses here... Are really only losses. Our attempt to bomb Norway will be wasted, and the only chance we can defeat the German army will be gone! "

"As long as we have power! As long as we are alive, we will have a chance to defeat the enemy! Opportunity is always there... But if we lose the power of attack, even if we find the opportunity, we can't fight back! " Sue? Daoding took out the British King's words to comfort them, to comfort the American officials, and then he looked at each other, hoping to get the other's approval.

Time is money, time is life, time is the precondition of everything. Just as the Americans and Britain were struggling with how to deal with the German air strikes, the German Air Force's bomber formation was already on the way - a total of 380 bombers assembled into a huge air formation, flying to their targets like migratory birds returning to their nests.

A large group of fw-190d fighters began to return because of their range. They had finished their mission and sent these bombers to the designated position safely. On the sea surface directly below these bombers, a dozen German Navy officers and soldiers were waving enthusiastically to the sky on a German submarine which served as an observation and landmark.

"This is little Maoqi bomber wing! Our escort fighters are leaving! They should be the last fw-190d fighters to leave the escort position! All our safety now depends on the 30 ta-152s above us! " A pilot reported the formation by short-range radio, and the German bombers were still moving towards Iceland.

In fact, the German did not engage in boring radio silence, because their opponent, the British air force, has set up several high-power radar stations in Iceland, which can detect German aircraft at a long distance - this distance has not been tested, but judging from the efficiency of British intercepting German reconnaissance aircraft, the detection distance of more than 100 km should be no problem. With a large number of British spies left in the north of Britain, the German plane may be discovered by the British as soon as it leaves there. Turning off the radio at this time seems to have no hidden effect other than to cause trouble for yourself. At least in the coordination of aircraft formation, short distance radio communication is allowed“ 30 t-152 fighters? This lineup is in the east line. If it is less than half, the Soviets dare not let the plane take off to provoke. Because for them, it's no different from death! " On the pilot's long plane, the commander laughed and joked with the radio: "pay attention to the clouds ahead! In terms of range, we are almost in the British air defense area! "“ Bomber 144 calling! Bomber 144 calling! I found a British destroyer! it is as expected! Our actions should have been discovered! " The British were not stupid either. They soon mobilized destroyers and torpedo boats patrolling nearby to conduct long-range air surveillance, hoping to find the trace of German aircraft earlier - now it seems that they have succeeded“ Give orders! Take all the planes off The U.S. land and air commander finally chose to compromise. After all, he didn't have the courage to directly face the overwhelming bombing of Germany, and he didn't dare to place everything on the air defense operations of the pathetic 36 fighters. The German intelligence analysis is very close to reality, and the Navy's conjecture is also correct: because of the rush to build the base, and too confident of its low value, the British air defense forces deployed in Iceland are very limited. There are only about 50 anti-aircraft guns, all of which are scattered throughout Iceland. Half of them are fixed on the permanent fort with cement, so it is impossible to concentrate them temporarily. Just when the Americans ordered their planes to take off and leave Iceland, the air defense alarm was just set off. A British communications officer rushed to sue? General doding handed him a telegram: "general! The Navy found a large number of German aircraft, more than 200! It's close to Iceland! "“ Come on! Let all planes take off immediately! Fighters take off to fight, bombers return to the United States! " Sue? Doding took a look at the officers of Continental Airlines, sighed, and walked quickly to his command post. After all, this is a British base. He is the top air defense commander here. He must do his duty to protect everything here from German aircraft“ Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa“ Start the engine! Take off The ground service commander standing by the telephone received the order to take off and yelled. The ground crew in the distance began to guide the plane into the take-off runway. For a moment, the sudden start sound of the aircraft engine could be heard everywhere. A British pilot got into his meteor jet and said with his radio communicator and tower, "meteor 7 is ready to take off! business as usual! If it's my turn to take off, please let me know immediately. " In front of him, the more fuel-efficient P-40 Rolls Royce engine modified fighter has begun to climb High in the sky, in the fuselage of the German bomber, a young German female gunner got into the narrow turret. She turned the turret lightly and aimed the gun at the most likely position of the enemy. In her headphones, there was a loud voice: "every shooter who runs into combat readiness immediately! The ta-152 is coming back! "------------ Long Ling's New Year greetings to the big guy again! New year's day should not be wasted! Ha ha ha!
