Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 76: D-2

"French President Betten sent a telegram to express his gratitude to the head of state for his generous help to the French navy. Admiral Darlang also sent a telegram with the same content, and asked us to dispatch a batch of supplies and parts that the French navy needs urgently. If you allow, they also want to resume their ammunition production line.

In order to show sincerity, the French submitted a list of their secret storage warehouses, which did contain a lot of materials that we did not find before, such as thousands of tons of industrial pure iron hidden in a warehouse near the French Naval Weapons Manufacturing Bureau, as well as stored in A batch of rough naval guns in Lorient. "Weiler put two copies of the telegram in front of Xu Jun. He is now full of admiration for the head of state."

Before the two countries officially signed the final war agreement, they boldly delivered military supplies and released prisoners of war to the other side. With this method, they expressed their goodwill to the French. Now it seems that it is simply the magic weapon. For the wonderful relationship, the plan of the head of state has obviously obtained preliminary results.

Many of the private communications between Xu Jun and Betten passed through the hands of Weiller, so the chief of staff knew exactly how much the God’s apostle used, how many transactions were made, and what price he paid, and What a huge reward.

"The standards for these materials and equipment are all unique to France, and they are completely different from our system. They cannot be used without major changes. Reprocessing and smelting will waste a large part of them, and also occupy our own. The production line, in general, outweighs the gain.

But these things are extremely valuable to the French. Most of their production plants are within our occupied area. They have no ability to manufacture these equipments. Since they are so, simply give them, so that both Can convey our sincerity to them. At the same time, they can strengthen their strength and stare for us to the greedy Italians.

This time the British made a faint move, and Churchill misjudged the current form. This was a disaster for the French, but it was a good thing for us. Ordered the Eye of Odin to launch the inside line in France with all our strength. We must use all media and public opinion to closely follow up this incident, so that all French people know that they have been shamefully attacked by the British, and they have been attacked by their allies. betray. In terms of specific implementation, I still have some personal ideas. I will list a detailed plan later. "

Xu Jun tapped his finger on the dining table, and the serviceman stepped forward to remove the dinner plate. Xu Jun picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, then threw the napkin on the table, stood up, and turned his head to Weierle. "Weirler, accompany me to walk outside."

"Follow your orders, my head of state." Weierle quickly stood up. He picked up the telegram on the table and stuffed it into his uniform pocket, and then ran a few steps behind Xu Jun.

"The weather is good today, the weather report said. Tomorrow is also fine and good weather, I hope it will not change.

Xu Jun walked on the planked path, next to the flower bed of the base camp guards, planting a lot of flowers and plants transplanted from the field beside the base. Xu Jun looked at it for a long time and failed to recognize several, but the colorful ones were quite pleasing to the eye. So whenever he was free, Xu Jun would come here and walk a few laps to get in touch with the natural breath. Relieve mental fatigue.

"My head, the forecast given by the Meteorological Department is that it will be fine and sunny in the next two days, but low-pressure air masses have condensed over the North Atlantic. Meteorological observation points along the coast are paying close attention to this phenomenon. Looking at the trend, it is likely that local strong convective weather will be caused in the strait area within a week, and there may be a few days of heavy rainfall. The headquarters is formulating corresponding response plans." Weierle replied respectfully.

"So there is not much time left for us. Tonight we will implement the first wave of attacks on the United Kingdom. The landing plan cannot be delayed. We must send enough people and supplies to the island before the bad weather arrives. Bad weather treats all people equally and does not give preferential treatment to the British. Perhaps it will affect the advancement and supply of our front-line troops, but similarly, the British troops will also be affected.

Of course, the landing force will temporarily lose air support, which is a problem, but similarly, our soldiers will not be threatened by the British Air Force’s air strikes. This is beneficial to us. The UK still retains a large scale The bomber force of ours, our Air Force fighter force has heavy tasks, it is difficult to achieve everything.

The heavy rain will have a certain impact on the road traffic in the landing area. Although the British road system is very perfect, when we land, they will definitely destroy the roads and bridges. The task of our engineering troops will be very difficult. If the rainfall is heavy, the surrounding land will become a big mud pond, and our mechanized troops will be severely tested. However, these problems also corresponded to the British. Their tanks were heavier than ours, and the mud caused them more trouble than we did.

We want to immediately notify each participating company of this situation, so that they are psychologically prepared for this, how to turn the bad weather into our combat power, this requires relying on the soldiers to use their wisdom flexibly. I believe that our brave German soldiers can overcome all difficulties. Xu Jun walked to a cluster of unknown white flowers and crouched down to fiddle with the green foliage. Weierle stood behind him, holding a notebook in his hand and recording Xu Jun's words on the notebook one by one.

"I will convey your views and opinions to the headquarters, my head of state." Weierle nodded respectfully.

"Weirler, tonight, tonight is the most critical night. The troops have already boarded the ship. They have been on standby for too long. Once the plan is started, it can never be stopped. I can only pray now. Everything can be done. It went smoothly according to plan. This time we mobilized all the forces we could mobilize. If something goes wrong, I am afraid that we are no longer able to do it again. So Weierle, I plan to stay in the headquarters tonight. , I want to get the news of the successful landing as soon as possible." Xu Jun stood up and said to Weierle.

"Now, we all need some good luck. Look, I found a four-leaf clover." Xu Jun shook a four-hearted blade of grass happily showing off to the chief of staff.

At this time, there was a roar of the engine overhead, and three he111 bombers painted with special off-white camouflage camouflage lined up slowly in a tight three-machine formation. He turned slowly in front of Xu Jun's eyes, and then flew away with his wings.

"This is a special bombing plane." Xu Jun looked down at his watch.

"Operation Hammer? I hope they will fly smoothly this time."

"The altitude is three thousand three, the heading is one hundred and ten, I see them." Sitting in the glass-like cab of the he111 bomber, through the clear windshield, the navigator Lieutenant Aldridge searched for the target they were looking for .

"Send a reservation signal and request to join the formation." Captain Hendrik said, pressing the throat microphone.

"Understood, sir." The back gunner replied loudly. He picked up a semaphore and fired a green signal flare in the direction of the approaching bomber group.

The off-white Heinkel bomber, part of the special bombing group directly under the headquarters, slowly approached. Immediately mixed into the bomber group that is advancing towards the British mainland.

"Be careful, the anti-aircraft artillery is dense, pay attention to changing the altitude, no fighter intercepts are found, and each aircraft pays attention to observation." The voice of the crew command came from the headset. A large group of German bombers, arranged in a neat formation, roared flying over the enemy capital.

The British Air Defense Command deployed 300 large-caliber anti-aircraft guns in London and the surrounding area, and at the same time in the factory area along the Thames. A large number of blocking balloons and small caliber anti-aircraft guns were also deployed. Pieces of anti-aircraft barrage exploded around the bomber group. The black and white smoke from the explosion of the warhead almost covered the entire sky.

The dense artillery was almost as extreme as the pilot imagined, and they felt like they were flying on a carpet of barrage smoke.

but. Although the artillery was so dense that it was frustrating, it had little effect. Because the United Kingdom had lost the guidance of large radar stations, the so-called air-to-air fire control radar was only a line on paper. So these anti-aircraft guns rely entirely on the human eye to aim.

The target observers rely on the ground image stabilizing optical range finder to estimate the height and speed of the incoming aircraft, and then calculate the shooting elements on the shooting control table by a special person, and then pass them to the shooting command. The command sent all members to each anti-aircraft position via telephone. Each position adjusted the position of the artillery, set the shell fuze, and then waited for the command to command the unified launch.

The British rely on this cumbersome procedure to control their air defense firepower. Once the flight group changes course or changes altitude, then the previous procedure will have to be repeated again. It is conceivable that the air defense firepower under this command system is exerted. The effect is very limited, and occasionally blind cats will run into dead mice and hit two German bombers with bad luck, but the Air Defense Command itself knows that the London anti-aircraft group is completely like the goods, except for the barrage of the sky. It looks magnificent, it simply does not play a basic role as an air defense weapon.

But there is no way, without the guidance of the radar, relying on the early warning of the visual warning post, most of the anti-aircraft artillery was just ready to shoot when the German bomber flew overhead. If it was at night, let alone mention it, only by listening The sound device estimates the approximate distance and direction of the enemy aircraft. Facts have proved that it is not reliable at all, but in order to show the resistance of the British ** team to the nationals, they can only slam the sky with searchlights.

During this period, civilians were hit by falling anti-aircraft shrapnel and caused injuries and deaths frequently in the city of London. More British people were killed by their own anti-aircraft guns than Germans who were shot down. After a serious panic, the military and the civil confrontation was caused. Anti-aircraft gunners were often attacked by angry citizens on the streets. Finally, they were forced to suppress it by relying on government seals and arrest warrants.

"Grizzly, you are on your way, good luck." The voice of the air commander in the headset rang.

"The Grizzlies understand that it is an honour to be able to fly with you, and good luck." Major Hendrik swings the joystick slightly, three gray bombers swing a few wings, greet the comrades, and then leave the bombing formation , Flying northwest of downtown London.

"Fifteen kilometers away, fly along that road, and soon you will see the target, look there, in the woods." The navigator took a picture against the ground features and quickly discovered The goal of this trip.

"There are no radars or anti-aircraft guns nearby. It looks like an ordinary manor. They hide very well. We must not think we will come." Hendrek grinned and pressed the call button.

"No. 2 and No. 3, according to the plan, look for their respective goals, pay attention to aiming, and strive to complete the mission once."

The three bombers lowered their altitude and flew almost against the top of the tree, while slowly opening the bomb door under the belly of the aircraft.

Crossing a small forest, a small country manor appeared in front of it. The main body was a double-storey Victorian townhouse with a red brick exterior wall and a spire. There were three rows of wooden houses on the lawn It can be seen that several people are running out of the house and pointing at the plane.

The German bombers lined up, dropping bombs at a rate of one every half a second. The bomb painted with red bullets descended from the sky, and the first six of them fell right in the middle of the wooden house. After a dull explosion, a series of huge fireballs took off, and the wooden house fell into a sea of ​​fire. Dozens of flame-burning figures rushed out of the room and ran into the room, but they ran in. In the hot sea outside, the figure was tumbling and struggling, and finally fell silently into coke in the flames.

The second round and the third round of bombs successively landed on the main house and partial house of the manor. The beautiful double-storey building immediately turned into a burning cremation furnace. The tenants inside had no chance of running outside. Directly converted into a sacrifice for the **** of fire, even if they run out, it is useless, because the whole open space in front of and behind the house is shrouded in the raging sea of ​​fire, and the whole manor is now like a burning crater.

"The mission is completed. The new bomb has more power in actual combat than the shooting range experiment. It is beyond my expectation. Taking a few more photos proves that Bletchley Manor has been completely destroyed." Hendlek Looking at the hell-like scene on the ground, he nodded with satisfaction, and gave orders to the navigator.

The three bombers circled around the manor a few times. After confirming that no ground targets were missed, they slowly turned to climb, flew toward the southeast, and slowly disappeared to the horizon. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and faster!
