Chapter 215 The large-scale bombing operation of the British and American Air Forces

Seeing the advanced P-51 fighters in front of him, Eisenhower's eyes flashed, and at that moment his cautious and uneasy heart finally completely relaxed.

"This is the P-51 fighter we've been waiting for for a long time? They look really good!"

After breathing a sigh of relief, Eisenhower showed a long-lost happy smile from the bottom of his heart.

"Well! Yes! Commander! I've seen their performance, and it's definitely stronger than all the current aircraft types of the German army, including their most advanced fw190a-5/r6 fighter jets!"

Lieutenant General Smith also added happily.

"Okay! Then I will wait and see the results of their bombing mission against the German army tomorrow!"

Hearing Lieutenant General Smith's strong appreciation, Eisenhower applauded happily.

"Well! Tomorrow's bombing mission? Aren't these P-51 fighters going to be transported to our secret base in Tunisia tomorrow by Hewitt's fleet? Why are there any bombing missions?"

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Smith asked in confusion.

"Because I changed my mind! And haven't I said it to you many times? If we want to win the Battle of Sicily, or the entire European battle, then we must first obtain air supremacy in the entire Europe, and then the air supremacy in the entire Europe! Otherwise, everything will be empty talk and difficult!"

"Even if we complete this important task, we will have to pay a heavy price for it! Because the German resistance is very stubborn and powerful, tomorrow these new P-51 fighters will follow our 8th Air Force and the 9th Air Force of the Army Air Force to carry out our "Association Bomber Offensive" combat operation, and be sure to compete for air supremacy from the German army!"

Eisenhower made up his mind.

"In addition, our aviation will also cooperate with the 15th fleet to carry out key bombings on German logistics and other important military industrial facility bases, factories, airports, and other locations, including Berlin, the capital of Germany, and also find ways to carry out large-scale felt bombing!"

Before Lieutenant General Smith could answer, Eisenhower continued to make up his mind.

"Would we discuss with Commander Sparz Air and Commander Mallory, British Airways, and others first?"

Lieutenant General Smith hesitated for a moment and suggested.

"Okay! Let's go now! I'm already in a hurry! I feel that only by acting immediately can I drive away all the fear and the ignorance in my heart!"

Eisenhower agreed decisively.

Then they immediately turned around and left the airport, looking for Commander of Sparz and others to discuss the new bombing operations.

After a day and night of discussion, the 8th Air Force dispatched more than 400 bombers to attack Bremen, Germany the next day. Of course, in addition to dispatching a large number of P-47 Thunder fighters to escort this sudden air strike, these new P-51 fighters also assisted in the bombing.

The 9th Air Force also dispatched 500 bombers and under the cover of 200 P-47 Thunder Fighter jets, bombarded all military factories in the Emden area of ​​the German army.

At the same time, Royal Air Force also dispatched 450 bombers and under the cover of a group of typhoon fighters, bombed the Port of Kiel in Germany day and night.

Then the next day, the US military dispatched more than 1,300 P-47 Thunder fighters, more than 1,800 B-17s, and 1,000 B-24 bombers to carry out large-scale bombings on Hamburg, Luvigshafen, and Sicily in Germany.

Under the bombing of blockbusters, the target sites that were attacked were filled with smoke and dust, and fires soaring into the sky. There were also many workers, ordinary citizens, and soldiers killed and injured.

But to the deep surprise of the British and American forces, it was that during such a large-scale bombing, the German air force had not sent a fighter plane to fight, and even the bombers were not sent out for revenge.

In this regard, British-American Airways executives and Eisenhower were also deeply inappropriate and surprised.

Because the purpose of their large-scale bombings is to blow up Germany's industrial and economic areas and logistics supply lines and other war potentials.

In response to this, the British and American Allied forces expected that the German army would do their best to send all their aviation troops to fight and counterattack and retaliate.

But no matter how large or fierce their bombing was.

The German aviation force had never even appeared in a fighter or bomber.

They are as if the world has evaporated, and there are no traces.

Faced with such surprising performance by the German army, all high-level officers from Britain and the United States had different expressions and thoughts.

Of course, some have solemn expressions and heavy moods.

So Eisenhower held an emergency meeting with these high-level officers from the British and American Airlines Corps.

"What do you think about the German air force? Why did we bomb such a large-scale two consecutive days without any movement or reaction!"

As soon as all the high-level officers arrived, Eisenhower immediately expressed his concerns.

"I think the Germans are afraid of our air force! Every time we dispatched the air force on a large scale, even if the Germans discovered it, they would not dare to resist us head-on!"

"Or Hitler was scared by us! We have been winning battles lately, whether it is the North Africa Battle, the Tunisia Battle, or the nearest Panteleria Island, have we occupied it?"

"Yes! Hitler is a guy who bullies the weak and is afraid of the strong! Now that we are so strong, I am so scared that I dare not fight head-on with our aviation army!"

"Hey! It would be fine if these Germans didn't come! If they meet our elite troops and dare to fight, let's see how we torture them to death!"

"I think it's okay if the German air force doesn't come out to fight. We can take advantage of such a great opportunity to devastating bombing of their fighter jets and bomber factories, and severely damage their aircraft manufacturing industry! Then we will definitely gain air supremacy on the entire European battlefield faster!"

"I agree that in the German army's cowardly state, we can also carry out large-scale bombings on their capital Berlin tomorrow, and even their civilian areas will be destroyed! Then the whole German army and people will be in chaos, which will be beneficial and harmless for us to defeat these evil fascists!"

As Eisenhower finished speaking, most of the high-level aviation officers and combat staff who attended the meeting were talking like they were blown up.
