Battle of the Third Reich - v6 Chapter 353

After entering the winter, the climate of the North Sea gradually began to deteriorate. After January, two winter storms formed in succession. The resulting storm surges hit some coastal areas of the Netherlands and Denmark. Because the Western Front War ended too quickly, the maintenance and management of coastal embankments and water conservancy facilities were not interrupted, and the local government organized rescues in a timely manner, so the loss of coastal villages was not very serious, and the disaster was successfully controlled to be acceptable to the public. Within the scope.

Even part of the German armed forces in the Netherlands and Denmark also participated in the rescue operations in the coastal area. Except for the German Army and a small number of SSs stationed in military facilities, most of them were the logistics engineering forces of the German Air Force and the Navy.

At present, European countries are building a series of permanent airports and large radar stations along the Atlantic coast, that is, the western defense line of the European air defense network. Several countries initially agreed to set up the “North Atlantic Air Defense Command Center” within Luxembourg territory. This country’s position is relatively ingenious, and the major powers are relatively satisfied.

The climate of the North Sea in winter will have a certain impact on the project. In addition, since November last year, there have been continuous transfers of construction machinery and technical personnel to the east line. Nowadays, most military projects in the Netherlands and Denmark have fallen into a state of semi-stoppage. .

Waieus is a very common Danish town with a resident population of less than 500, and most of the residents live on offshore fisheries. The center of the town is less than two kilometers from the coast. The houses closest to the sea are almost next to the beach.

The sandy beaches here are excellent, and the sea water is crystal clear, so it will become a resort swimming spot in summer. Tourists mainly come from the city of Esbjerg 20 kilometers away.

It is winter now, and there are no tourists on the sandy beach where there were tourists. There are only a row of small fishing boats, which are placed there to dry the bottom of the boat.

Today is a sunny day. Just after eleven o’clock, Neilbert left his house on his 70% new “Dolphin” bicycle. In the rattan basket on the back of the bicycle is his lunch, a carefully prepared egg and ham sandwich and coffee in a small thermos.

Neilbert has a stable job, serving as a first-class document in the Municipal Water Affairs Bureau. January and February are the busiest time in the bureau, but his wife is about to produce these days, and he asked the superior for three weeks. Paid leave. Neilbert was well-connected in the unit, and the director was a well-known old man, but the fake was passed smoothly.

The weather forecast shows that the weather will be good these days. Yesterday his wife nagged with him for a long time, hoping that he would take the time to go to his mother’s house to bring his baby-seat repaired back.

Neilbert’s father-in-law was an old postman. After retirement, he lived in an old house by the sea, often driving an eight-meter dhow to go fishing. The old man’s craftsmanship is very clever. He usually likes to tinker with some fashionable gadgets. When he went to dinner with his son-in-law’s house last week, he found that the stroller at home had fallen off, so he volunteered to take it back for repair. A few days ago, I asked the postman to say that the car had been repaired and let Neilbert take it away whenever he was free.

The outdoor temperature was only two degrees, and finally the sun was warm. Neilbert lifted a wool scarf covering his mouth and nose. His legs pressed **** his pedals, and the bicycle climbed up the hillside along the dirt road.

The coastline can be seen at the top of the slope. From here to the beach, the whole area is low and thick bushes, and large and small wooden houses are dotted between these yellow bushes.

Neilbert let go of the hand brake and went straight downhill under the cold wind. The distance of one kilometer is not far away, and Neilbert soon came to the father-in-law’s house. Leaning his bicycle against the fence by the yard, Neilbert removed the rattan basket and walked along the path beside the house to the beach not far away.

He had already planned it, he didn’t rush to get the stroller first, he wanted to sit on the beach, take a look at the scenery, bask in the sun, and enjoy a rare winter picnic by the way, just like when he was young I like doing it the most.

The sand on the beach is very fine, mixed with some small shells, and it shows a strange gray-white color in the sun. In front of the vast North Sea, the situation in Waius is not bad, but it is said that some places on the north side, especially those estuaries of freshwater rivers, have experienced severe freezing.

Neilbert sat down next to a small boat that could block the sea breeze from the side. These boats have been resting on the beach since last month because the government found it on the nearby sea Throwing out of control.

The Danish navy laid a large minefield near Esbjerg. It was heard that at least two hundred mines were thrown over there, and an airy naval officer burned the layout map of the minefield before surrendering. Even now Denmark’s own minesweeper has a headache in this minefield. Minesweeper boats in Germany and Denmark have been busy for half a year. As a result, only 60 mines were swept in this sea area, which means that more than half of the mines are still missing.

The discovered mine drift has been confirmed to belong to the Royal Danish Navy. The anchor chain was broken by the strong current of the North Sea. Before the discovery, it was known how many times it had circled in the North Sea with the current. Therefore, before the government re-issues the permit, this section of the coastline must not go to the sea, otherwise it will be considered deserved to be killed.

The weather was not suitable for sailing during this time, so many things happened around last year, and few fishermen disputed this. The whole of Denmark was busy with the food crisis a while ago, there was a serious shortage of feed, a large number of livestock were slaughtered early, and the farming industry as the basis of agriculture was almost facing a crash. If it was not early for the war to end, the government imported a large amount of rations from the United States in time, and this winter may really starve to death.

Now that the crisis is over, everyone seems to have forgotten the days of fear and searching for food everywhere, and Neilbert also re-eats a sandwich with eggs and ham.

The boat was left on the shore for more than a month, but the planks still exuded the peculiar smell of sea water and fish, but for Nilbert who grew up on the beach, this will not affect his good appetite. .

Unfasten the buckle of the rattan basket, and then lift the lid. The Water Supplies Bureau takes a piece of plaid from the basket and spreads it around, then takes out a wooden lunch box, and puts a neat code of sandwiches in the box.

Neilbert took a porcelain plate and placed it on the checkered cloth, then carefully twisted a sandwich and placed it on the plate.

After finishing these things, the document looked up and looked around. It was strange that the sun was so good that there was no one on the beach. It seems that I can only enjoy it by myself. Neilbert took out a small iron shell thermos, unscrewed the aluminum lid that can be used as a cup, then pulled out the cork stopper and poured himself a lid. Coffee making.

Blowing the heat, the Water Supplies Bureau placed the cup in the mouth, and smelled the fragrant smell before enjoying it.

Just as he was about to start this long-awaited picnic, there was a sudden hum of aircraft engines in his ears.

Neilbert knew that it was the sound of the plane, because there was a German military airport nearby, which was built after the war, and had five or six hundred German soldiers stationed. These German soldiers would go to the town’s shops to buy things on weekends or have fun in the town’s taverns.

However, those Germans are polite and well-behaved, without disturbing the lives of locals. Moreover, the arrival of these Germans also brought some extra income to the residents. The town people often sold them some fresh fish and homemade food.

The buzzing sound was quickly approaching, and it sounded like a swarm of bees flying in the summer fields. Neilbert was convinced that it was more than a plane.

The instrument stood up holding his coffee and looked up to the east sky. Sure enough, as he had judged before, a line of neatly arranged machine shadows appeared in the field of vision.

The flying height of these planes is very low. Two fighters are flying in the front. Neilbert does not understand the aircraft type, but it should be the German BF109.

The two fighter jets screamed side by side from the beach, with a height of only 50 or 60 meters. They flew northward along the beach at high speed. Neilbert stared at the fighters far away, he had never appreciated such a war machine at such a close distance.

But before the Danes recovered, there was a loud roar behind their heads, and then a large shadow was cast on the beach. The Water Authority’s instrument hurriedly raised its head, but only saw the huge tail that flashed by.

Neilbert vowed that it was the largest and most beautiful airplane he had ever seen in his life, although he only saw the silhouette on the back side.

The whole body of the aircraft was painted white, four engines were mounted under the wings, a red identification band around the fuselage was painted on the rear side of the fuselage, and a badge was painted on the vertical tail. Neilbert didn’t know what the pattern was, and it seemed to be some kind of coat of arms or military emblem.

PS: Thank you for your support, and we are working hard to restore the state.
