The Third Reich - Chapter 1773
Arnold’s face was quite ugly. He thought the plan he had carried out was quite perfect, but in the end it fell short.
Where did that terrible jet force emerge from?
“Now that the situation is obvious, our plan is unlikely to be successful. I suggest that the action be stopped immediately and the subsequent bomber units return.” Marshall said: “We can’t let all our precious bomber units be buried in.”
The B-29, a strategic bomber belonging to the United States, is a strategic force, but was wiped out in a tactical operation. It would be a terrible blow.
At the same time, other aircraft of the Navy and Army Air Forces that were in charge of the feint mission continued to fight in the air and sea behind the other aircraft carrier formation. The fighting was quite tragic. They also caused certain casualties to the German Navy. However, they It was still unable to break through the German air defense net, nor could it penetrate the densely packed air defense artillery of the German fleet, causing a devastating blow to those aircraft carriers.
This mission failed again, lost Greenland, and did not cause a devastating blow to the Germans. The victory of the battle of Midway did not repeat itself this time.
“No, no, we can’t stop. The bomber units behind will continue to bombard.” Although Arnold’s thoughts are rather chaotic, his idea will never disappear: “We just didn’t expect the German jets to appear. The troops, but it is obvious that this is the last force. In the current airspace, it happens to be the limit of the flight of European native fighters. It is impossible for them to send more troops from the mainland, and the existing jets have been intercepted. After our bomber units in front of us, the consumption of fuel and ammunition has reached the limit. They will definitely return and there will be a defensive vacuum. Our subsequent bomber units will definitely be able to carry out successful bombing.”
Arnold will not give up. He believes that his own casualties are heavy and the German aircraft carrier formation has reached a limit. As long as his will be firmer, he will surely achieve results.
Can’t give up. If you give up now, will there be opportunities in the future?
Arnold insisted.
“Now, we don’t know anything about the German jets. How can we know how much their jets have ammunition and how much fuel? We don’t know if they have follow-up reinforcements. At this time, we still Can you throw in precious bomber forces?” Not only Marshall, but MacArthur was also opposed.
The loss is too great, can you still watch your own bomber force jump into the fire pit? That is simply traitorous! These fighters, bombers, can play a major role in protecting one’s own coastline. Why should they lose them all at this time?
“Mr. President, please trust my judgment. We will definitely succeed this time. The war is not just taking risks? Does any commander dare to say that he is 100% sure? Who is more determined?”
Arnold is still insisting, he hopes to be affirmed by the president.
Roosevelt did not speak. He looked out the window. The leaves were falling one by one. It was late autumn and winter soon.
America, how long can it last? Now, the German fleet has expanded to a terrible point. Lost this opportunity. Maybe, there will be no chance in the future. The ice aircraft carrier project continues to have technical problems. Can you watch the Germans call from Greenland? ?
No, of course not!
Roosevelt felt that he was facing a difficult choice for the first time, and now, if he did not make a choice, it was actually in Arnold’s advantage. If he did not give orders, the bomber formation that was half an hour later would continue to fly over the German aircraft carrier.
The 462th and 468th Bombardment Groups were half an hour behind when they took off. They carried bat bombs and planned to expand the results of the second wave. Now they need to complete the task of attacking the aircraft carrier formation.
This is difficult and necessary.
Although the news from the radio indicates that the brothers in front are suffering a devastating blow, they are unwilling to hesitate. As soldiers, they must obey orders as their bounden duty.
At the same time, because the first wave of bombers were being intercepted, they did not need to make a big turn and appeared from the east of the opponent. They were three hundred kilometers south of Iceland, and they started to turn, and went straight to the German aircraft carrier formation. .
The bomber unit was flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and everyone was feeling a bit heavy. This is likely to be less than an hour in their lives.
Even so, they still have to continue flying.
At this time, they didn’t know that they had been deployed by the ground radar station on Iceland~www.mtlnovel.com~ This radar station played a huge role in this mission. Both batches of bomber units were They found it.
Enemy briefing, the second wave of bombers!
Relying on the advanced radio system, the base camp inside Wolf Valley 2 received this news almost immediately.
Here comes another batch!
The war potential of the Americans is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary countries. One group has been destroyed, and there is still another group, which is almost as good as the unkillable Xiaoqiang.
“Although the aircraft carrier formation can transfer fighters from behind, there is no doubt that they have reached the limit.” Richthofen analyzed: “If these bombers continue to arrive, they may pose a certain threat to the formation.”
This sea-to-air battle was really fierce. The Americans were not afraid of death, and they kept sending troops to die. Later generations used anti-ship missiles to saturate the aircraft carrier formation. Now, the Americans rely on meat bombs abruptly. Ah, it’s almost a fight with the Huitian troops of the island nation.
How to do?
“Can’t put too much pressure on the aircraft carrier formation.” Cyric said: “Use our secret weapon, try it!”
In fact, the jet unit can handle it. The problem is that the second wave of bomber units took a different route from the first wave. When the bombers of this round are killed and the jet units rush to intercept the new bombers, I’m afraid it’s too late.
Use a new secret weapon? Many people present are not clear. They know that they have set up electromagnetic interference devices to interfere with the other’s guided bombs. This is already a secret weapon. What new secret weapon can there be?
Hearing what Cyric said, Reinhardt nodded immediately: “Understand, I will go right away.”
After speaking, Reinhardt turned his head and left.
The new secret weapon is actually controlled by Reinhardt? Everyone is puzzled.
