Chapter 775 Abnormality
With the help of nuclear physicists led by Hahn, the German Army quickly formulated some countermeasures that frontline troops should adopt when encountering nuclear explosion attacks. In addition to the guys located within two kilometers of the center of the explosion site, they would almost certainly go to see God, but people a little far away still had a high chance of survival, and this group of people were the targets of the German side to rescue. With the telegrams on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, such as not to look directly at the explosion light source in the air, and immediately look for cover.
Basic measures such as lying down in reverse and quickly escaping after the shock wave swept, senior officers transmitted to grassroots troops from layer to layer. The air force and anti-aircraft artillery personnel were also entrusted with special responsibilities, and the most violent head-on strike must be given when four enemy heavy bombers were discovered. After all, considering the characteristics of the nuclear bomb itself, the most likely way for the Americans to use is still airdrop; if they are buried in the wilderness and detonate remotely, their lethality will undoubtedly be reduced by an order of magnitude.
After doing this, the German war machine started to move on the North American land again. For the officers and soldiers of its armored forces, this land is simply a great stage for them to gallop. According to the aerial photos taken by the reconnaissance aircraft, their war zones are mainly flat terrain; what excites them is that the road conditions in the United States are extremely excellent, even better than those in Germany. Their roads are not only wide and flat, but also densely stretched like spider webs. When they are hung for 6 gears, Tiger tanks weighing more than 50 tons can ≯ ≯ ≯ ≯ ≥ ≯ ≯ ≥ 45km/h!
Although the threat of landmines caused the German armored troops to carry out early attacks in rural fields in many cases, when the subsequent engineers eliminated the mine barrier, these perfect roads could play an unparalleled important role as the carrier for the German follow-up troops and logistics transportation. In addition, the US railway system was also used by the German army and soon became an equal amount of road transportation. These excellent infrastructures were obviously not effectively destroyed by the hasty retreating US troops; in fact, in front of the German army's rapidly advancing front, a considerable number of core buildings, including bridges, power stations, and warehouses, were directly abandoned by the US army, which also made the German offensive smoother.
On June 22, the German army had swept across Louisiana in the southern United States like a whirlwind, leaving the super-wu red line declared by the US government far away 100 kilometers behind. Their armored cluster troops were directly threatening the rear of Florida through Alabama. Open the map and you can see that the Florida Peninsula is hanging alone in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the most forward bridgehead to resist the Cuban German army's advance northward; if the rear road to the depth of the United States is cut off, all the US troops stationed on the peninsula will become turtles in the jar. This will be a natural encirclement of up to 150,000 square kilometers, and the German troops occupying the peninsula can shorten their supply lines by at least 1,000 kilometers and rage in the United States without any scruples.
Faced with this imminent situation, the United States had to take decisive measures to prevent the other party from advancing. Under the strong suggestion of Marshall and others, the uranium bomb code-named "Skinny" was transported from the research center in Manhattan to the Charlotte Base in North Carolina, waiting for the order to be released. In order to allow it to smoothly exert its power, the American Airlines also made many efforts in early reconnaissance of the enemy and its own technical preparations. According to reports sent back by air reconnaissance and the defeated frontline soldiers, about a German army of armored troops was advancing northeast from Alexandria, Louisiana, and is expected to sweep Jackson, the capital of Mississippi in two days; in order to race against time, they ignored the prisoners who came to their door, and just let the American soldiers hand over their weapons and let them go away.
"I'll choose this army!" After the reconnaissance information was sent up, Marshall, who had already rushed to the front, said gritting his teeth. The Germans' straight-forward style of fighting did not treat their troops as human beings, but they did not have a force in their hands that could resist their advancement. For ten months, the only thing the chief of staff of the Army could do to the front-line battle situation was to evacuate more troops as completely as possible while destroying infrastructure such as bridges and roads along the way. Although what he is currently using is not a real land warfare method, no matter what, he finally has a chance to revenge the other party.
In addition, there is another benefit of choosing to carry out a nuclear attack on this German army, that is, it saves the US side from the risk of accidentally injuring its own prisoners of war. To this day, the US Army has statistically lost more than 500,000 people after the start of the local war. Even considering some unlucky guys who died without a complete body and a considerable number of cowards who secretly escaped, there are definitely many people captured by the German army. If a nuclear attack rashly launches a German army, then this powerful weapon is very likely to affect its own soldiers. On the contrary, choosing this kind of armored force in high-speed rushing will not have any concerns about this.
The morning light dances, and the morning glow shines. At the Charlotte Aviation Base located behind the strategy, it is now like a big enemy. All unrelated personnel were driven away from the center runway, and professional technicians began to load this special bomb with a waist like a bucket on the belly of a B-17. Due to time, the United States has not yet developed a b-29 bomber known as the "super air fortress", and the mission can only be handed over to this mature bomber. Fortunately, since the nuclear bomb was dropped this time
In their own territory, the total flight distance is only a few hundred kilometers, and the capacity of the b-17 can be achieved. Two hours later, when the current reconnaissance aircraft sent the latest information on the target's position and movement, a large number of fighters, including the bomber carrying nuclear bombs, flew through the air. During the advance of the German armored troops, there will be a single-engine fighter jets supporting the air umbrella. The mission of these accompanying fighters is to disperse the opponent's fighter jets, thus providing the bomber with the opportunity to successfully drop bombs.
"Why did Americans come so many planes?" Looking at the large gray-black figures appearing in the distance, Wilk, the captain of the Luftwaffe JG3 Squadron, couldn't help but say in the communication channel. He is currently conducting combat reconnaissance in the peripheral area promoted by his army, and this number of enemy aircraft, which is less than 300, is a situation he has never seen in any previous battle! Shocked, he quickly reported the situation to the airport in the rear with a transmitter, and turned to evacuate before the arrival of several planes sent by the other side to hunt him. After his large troops arrived, he naturally had the opportunity to increase the number of falls.
Since the armored forces of the vertical and horizontal advance were the key core of the German army's breakthrough, the Luftwaffe's air cover was undoubtedly done with all their efforts; less than a quarter of an hour after Wilk's telegram was sent out, more than 40 familiar single-shot fighters had appeared within his field of vision. When they approached the central target in the battle between enemy fighters, they were all surprised by the opponent's lineup: a large number of four heavy bombs were built into a tight array, and their self-defense firepower covered the colonels in all directions; this was not the attitude and lineup required for battlefield bombing, but was very similar to the strategic bombing carried out by their own air force on American industrial cities!
"Are the Americans going to bomb our rear base?" This idea came to mind in the minds of the German pilots. Anyone who saw this scene at first glance would not equate it with tactical support; after all, the most important thing in bombing on the land army is precision. The cost-effectiveness of using a fighter to carry a bomb to carry a low-altitude attack is undoubtedly much higher than the saturation attack with four heavy bombs at high altitudes. In previous battles, the US aviation army did this. Although the senior management of the German Air Force has issued an order to strictly prevent the enemy from dropping nuclear bombs, due to years of absolute confidentiality, German grassroots personnel have only recently heard of a scale of this weapon, and it is almost impossible to think of this strange field that they had never been involved in before.
With the harsh hiss of guns and cannons, an air battle soon kicked off. Although German fighters were generally equipped with two 20mm machine guns that were several times more powerful than heavy machine guns, they still had obvious disadvantages in the frontal battle with heavy bombers flying in a formation, and failed to stop the opponent's forward momentum. Wilk flew the injured plane and rushed out of the opponent's ubiquitous firepower net, and his back was covered with wet and cold sweat; however, before he could still be glad for the two steel plates piercings on the side of his cockpit, between the flashes of the rolling and maneuvering, Wilk suddenly found that a certain aircraft in the US bomber group seemed to be in a different situation!
Wilk, who was shocked in his heart, suddenly pulled back to the nose of the aircraft, and carefully observed the outer periphery of the opponent's bomber group with his speed advantage. After passing through the numerous aircraft shadows, he was determined to identify him and soon discovered the figure of the target in the center of the US military lineup. Compared with the streamlined bodies of other bombers, a huge hemispherical bulge arched under its belly; from a distance, it looked like a big bird that was difficult to produce, and it was stuck in the belly by a giant dome. Although Wilk did not know what this phenomenon meant, he had a thought in his mind that it became clear: this abnormal situation was definitely not a good thing, and all he had to do was to destroy it from the air!
"All aircraft are careful, all aircraft are careful! One of the opponent's bombers is in the middle of the bomber group. The abdomen is severely convex, and the situation is strange. If conditions permit, please attack him with all your strength!" Wilk said loudly to his subordinates and colleagues in the call channel.
