These long-range bombers are Germany's current advanced long-range bombers, the model is HE-177, the aircraft is developed by the Heinkel company, the wingspan is 32 meters long, the fuselage is 22 meters long, 6 meters high, the empty weight is 18000KG, the maximum take-off weight is 33200KG, it is equipped with four 1300 horsepower supercharged engines, the maximum speed can reach 470 kilometers per hour, and due to the installation of a pressurized system in the crew compartment, its maximum ceiling has reached a terrifying 10600 meters, This made it difficult for the Allies to effectively intercept those flying at the highest altitude with the existing fighters.

IT CAN CARRY UP TO 8000KG OF BOMBS, AND CAN CARRY 5500KG OF BOMBS AND DROP BOMBS ON ENEMY HOMES ON A LONG RUN OF 1800KM.

And the batch of HE-177s that are now flying to Paris is the Plan B that Manfred has always mentioned.

The original Plan A required the Mobile Task Force to cooperate with the Ghost Force to take advantage of the emptiness in the French rear to take Paris by surprise, directly rush into several target points and behead or capture some important people alive to pull back to Germany, so as to break the morale of the French frontline troops. But after several steps, all the commanders of the Ghost Force decided that Plan A was completely unworkable, so they activated Plan B.

Compared with Plan A, Plan B is much simpler and crude, that is, Ghost and the Mobile Task Force are required to block the target point, and then directly dispatch long-range bombers to accurately bomb the target point with ground guidance.

However, there is also a price to be simple and rude, because there are not many HE-177 bombers in Germany, only about 300 in total, and according to the original plan of the high command, these bombers are to carry out the task of bombing the important industrial area on the Mediterranean coast of France - Fossmarseille industrial area - on the day of the Paris operation. Some of the bombers that were already small were sent over.

However, Plan B proved to be relatively successful, as can be seen from the frightened expressions on the faces of the French.

"The Peregrine Falcon is here!" Manfred and the others watched the huge fleet press towards their side, and stood up happily, "Act as planned!" ”

When Conrad and several members of the Mobile Task Force heard this, they immediately took out a bunch of smoke generators from their backpacks, ran to a higher position, and stacked the smoke generators one by one, and a conspicuous red smoke rose in the sky.

The French troops not far away saw a few Germans who were still resisting fiercely put down their weapons, made a bunch of things on the ground, and then looked at the bombers in the sky that were getting closer and lower, and soon understood what the German unit in front of them was having.

"Quick! Destroy them! They want to give their bombers a direct target! A lieutenant of the French army pointed at Conrad and the others in horror and shouted.

Before he could say a few words, Claire struck him in the head with a G41 semi-automatic rifle.

However, the French heard what the lieutenant was shouting, and they hurriedly stepped up the offensive, trying to take advantage of the emptiness of the German defense line to completely destroy the force in front of them.

"Woohoo!"

However, before they could take a few steps, a series of explosions rang out among them, and at the same time several German heavy fighters with iron crosses whizzed past.

The heavy fighters achieved good results in this round of ground strafing, killing and wounding more than 20 French soldiers, forcing the French troops who were planning to charge to find anti-aircraft shelters on the spot.

But Manfred did not applaud this, and even cursed.

The place where the French charged was less than 50 meters away from the German line, and such close air support was actually strictly forbidden in the German air-ground coordination tactics, because the cannon shells did not have long eyes, and it was easy to mistakenly hit friendly troops at such a close distance.

What's more, it is not the professional close support aircraft that emphasize low-speed approach support that are now carrying out close support, but several high-speed heavy fighters.

And now Conrad's blood proved that the prohibition was absolutely correct - a single machine gun shell hit him just a few meters away, and at least a dozen of the shrapnel that flew in all directions from the explosion hit Conrad and one of the Mobile Task Forces next to him, knocking them to the ground in pairs, blood pouring out of them and staining their clothes red.

"Conrad!" Manfred saw Conrad fall to the ground injured and immediately became anxious.

Although the two usually fight and damage each other, in fact, the friendship between the two is very deep, just like brothers.

"Cover! Cover! Drag them back! Manfred shouted as he raised his weapon and fired wildly at the French position.

For a time, the German positions were full of gunfire, and the Germans, who were fully equipped with automatic weapons, once pressed the French troops, who were several times their number, into the position.

One of the medics who was stacking the smoke generators with Conrad took the opportunity to drag Conrad and the hapless Mobile Task Force into a nearby bunker, and then pulled out improvised medical equipment such as triangular scarves and hemostats from his bag to administer first aid to the two men, while the rest of the team continued to pull more smoke generators apart.

As more and more smoke generators were piled together, and the red smoke grew thicker and thicker, the group of bombers hovering in the sky finally noticed the ground guidance and began to accelerate towards the town hall.

"The bombers are coming! Mission accomplished, let's get out of here! Manfred saw more than a dozen bombers flying towards him, and shouted orders for his troops to withdraw from the bombing area.

When the remaining twenty or so people heard the order, they immediately began to retreat in an orderly manner, fighting and retreating, covering each other's cover, and retreating towards an entrance that extended under the ground.

Judging from the speed of the planes, the bombing area, and the encirclement from the French army from all directions, Manfred and the others had no chance to escape from the ground, so they made a special evacuation plan early in the morning - to escape from the sewers.

Paris's sewer system is world-famous, connecting all parts of the city, with a total length of 2,400 kilometers, and most of the sewers are tall and spacious enough for people to pass, and a certain distance from the ground, which is completely safe enough to be a safe enough bomb shelter. Therefore, based on these points, Manfred chose the retreat route in the sewers, using it as a cover to quickly evacuate the combat zone.

As expected, a group of more than 20 people carrying four or five seriously injured people quickly arrived at the entrance of the sewer and walked smoothly into the sewer.

However, what they didn't expect was that the sewer that they thought was incomparably wide was actually not spacious, because there were hundreds of civilians in the sewer at the moment besides them.

Clearly, they weren't the only ones who thought that sewers are safer than the ground.
