The so-called "Patriot Program" is to select a group of American patriots who have the courage to carry out "suicide attack missions" from among the bomber pilots of the US Army Air Corps, and then train them to fly B-29 bombers to carry out one-way bombing of large European cities!

And the bombs dropped by this one-way bombardment are of course not ordinary bombs filled with explosives, but anthrax spore bombs and ceramic bacteriological bombs (used to drop plague fleas). Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 According to the Patriot program, B-29 aircraft flying on one-way bombing missions will target cities like Berlin, Paris, Munich, Europaburg, Frankfurt and Hamburg. After carrying out the mission of dropping bacteriological bombs, because the B-29 bombers had no fuel to return, the "patriots" would have to parachute in German and French airspace if they were not shot down, and most of them would fall into the hands of the Nazis and fascists...... The end is certainly not good, so the U.S. Army Air Corps will equip all American warriors on "Patriot missions" with high-tech poison to ensure that they can die without pain.

In addition, according to the provisions of the "Patriot Plan", as long as the Germans used atomic bombs, bacteriological bombs and poison gas bombs to attack large cities on the American mainland. A one-way bombing of the B-29 would have been immediately initiated.

The United States of America will show its determination to fight the Nazis on the other side of the Atlantic to the end!

Therefore, after receiving the news of the large-scale dispatch of German long-range bombers, several "Patriot brigades" deployed on the island of Newfoundland were immediately in a state of being ready to attack at any time.

However, the preparation of these "American patriots" is redundant, because the missiles mounted on more than 300 long-range bombers of the Me264 type are all conventional models.

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Attention to all units, attention to all units, urgent combat mission, all daytime fighter squadrons are dispatched with full fuel to carry out interception missions......"

At the same time as the battle sirens sounded, a Texas accent came out of the radio speaker, and George was writing a letter to his new wife, Barbara. Herbert. Walker. Captain Bush immediately put away the pen and paper, then stood up and turned to a room of pilots who didn't know what they were up to, and shouted, "Guys, it's time to fight the Germans!" ”

"Okay!"

"Fight the Germans!"

"Kill them!"

The pilots were in high spirits and spoke in a relaxed tone, as if they didn't know what fear was all about. Their reaction was certainly justified, because it was made clear on the radio that it was a volley mission. For the F7F fighter-bomber pilots of the U.S. Naval Air Corps stationed at the Carenville airfield on Newfoundland, the interception mission was not too dangerous. Because the target of their volley was the German Me264, which flew high and fast, but was inferior in firepower and armor. At most, the F7F can't find them, or can't catch up, and it's basically impossible to be shot down by the self-defense fire of the Me264 - the F7F with a maximum take-off weight of 11.6 tons is a very solid aircraft!

After getting into a two-seater F7F-3N fighter-bomber/night fighter equipped with radar, Captain Bush heard the good news over the airborne radio.

"Guys, this time there are big fish, the F-13 found at least 200 Me264s, and they flew in formation!"

"Great!"

"The Germans are going to be out of luck now!"

The cheers of the pilots were heard in the headphones, and Captain Bush laughed as well as to the navigator/bombardier behind him, Nick Bush. Sergeant Halton said, "Nick, it looks like this trip won't be in vain. ”

The Me264 was not dangerous for the various interceptors on Newfoundland but it was very difficult to catch - because there were AWACS planes directing them, and they flew fast - so the American interceptors often ran short and wandered around the sky for hours without finding anything.

However, under the command of AWACS, the fighters that evaded the Americans flew Me264s in single or double formations. The large fleet of 200 planes is a momentum that covers the sky and the sun, and it is not easy to dodge the interceptors. After all, the Americans now also have early warning aircraft equipped with high-power S-band radars, and they can definitely find a large fleet of about 200 aircraft at a distance of 150 kilometers, and there is no possibility that they cannot be found!

So after receiving the report, the commander of the Army Air Corps in the Northeast North American Region, who had moved his headquarters from Boston to Montreal, was the commander of the Army Air Corps. Vice Admiral Harmon immediately gave orders to the Allied fighter wings on Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island, St. Pierre, and Miquelon (including the shore-based wing of naval aviation now under the command's unified command).

On dozens of large and small airfields, hundreds of P-47 and F7F, as well as the British (the main parts are provided by the United States and assembled in Canada) high-altitude twin-engine interceptor "Sky" fighters, roared into the blue sky, formed a brigade-level formation, and roared southward.

Naturally, the momentum of hundreds of fighters taking off could not avoid the German water early warning aircraft Bv138E, and the report of "large-scale sortie by American fighters" soon spread to Adolf, which was more than 600 nautical miles away from Newfoundland. On the aircraft carrier USS Hitler.

"Order Hawkeye 20 to take off!" Helmut. As soon as Admiral Haye received the report, a Bv138E was dispatched by the 201st Carrier Group Air Operations Officer Hersman Jr. This large three-engine seaplane is not known for its speed, with a maximum speed of less than 300 kilometers per hour and a cruising speed of only 260 knots. Therefore, Hirschman Jr. had to set off early in order to reach the predetermined position before the fierce battle in the air began.

"When can carrier-based aircraft be sent?" Helmut. Heyer asked.

"General, the Fokker plane will depart first, and it can take off now, and after forming a formation, it will arrive at the battlefield under the guidance of the Hawkeye 20, and the Me262T will be dispatched an hour late."

He was answered by Heinz, Chief Aviation Staff Officer of the 2nd Fleet and Aviation Staff Officer of the 20th Task Force. Colonel Barr.

The command model of the carrier-based aircraft units of the European Community Naval Aviation is constantly being fine-tuned, in accordance with the latest operational manuals. The Chief Aviation Staff of the Fleet and the Operations Officer of the Fleet Aviation are the souls of the carrier-based aircraft forces. The chief aviation staff officer leads the planning and is also responsible for remote command on the aircraft carrier, while the aviation operations officer is on the front line to direct operations in an AWACS aircraft.

So today's opportunity for aviation is Heinz . Colonel Barr personally worked it out. Seven carriers of the 3 carrier groups, including the 201st, 202nd and 401st (drawn from the 4th Fleet with 2 Kesselring-class carriers) (the Br.801 carrier-based bombers on the 3 French aircraft carriers of the 203rd Carrier Group do not participate in the operation), will send 8 squadrons of Fokker 636 and 12 squadrons of Me262T fighters.

Eight of the squadrons were formed by the Secter, the Seydeliz, the Kesselring, and the Wolfgang. Four aircraft carriers, including the USS Richthofen (named after Air Marshal Richthofen, who was recovering from brain cancer) were dispatched, each with two squadrons, for a total of 128 Fokker 636s.

The 12 Me262T squadrons consisted of two Adolf. Hitler-class aircraft carriers were dispatched, and each squadron had 12 Me262Ts, for a total of 144 aircraft.

All the Fokker 636s and Me262Ts add up to 272 fighters, which is about half the number of Allied fighters that take off from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island, St. Pierre, and Miquelon.

Although only half the number of opponents, Hersman Jr., who commanded all the fighters (he was the deputy commander of air combat, but all the fighters were under his command), was confident.

Because he has 144 invincible Me262T jet fighters in his hands, and the more than 300 Me264 bombers that act as decoys are also known for their high-altitude performance, which can easily lead opponents to extremely high altitudes.

In addition, Hersman Jr. also had a very favorable condition, that is, at this time, the US Navy became an unretractable presence fleet in the Atlantic. The so-called "blockade line" of Nova Scotia-Bermuda is also largely devoid of trained destroyers. As a result, the sortie American interceptor group could only rely on the F-13's on-board S-wave radar to search for targets. At present, the airborne early warning radar is either installed in the nose or belly of the aircraft, and no one puts the airborne early warning radar on the back of the aircraft. Therefore, these so-called "AWACS" are very difficult to "look" upwards. According to reliable information, the S-band AN/APS-20 radar on the F-13 is mounted on the belly of the aircraft, so it can only look down, not up.

So as long as Hersman Jr. lets his Me262T fly high enough to climb above the head of the American F-13, it is basically impossible to be detected.

Near noon on April 8, 1945, Hersman Jr. issued an order to all 12 jet fighter squadrons from the Hawkeye 10 seaplane hovering at an altitude of 7,000 meters (the Bv138E is naturally a high-altitude seaplane as an AWACS aircraft, and its radar is mounted on the nose of the aircraft, so it has a certain upward detection ability): "The enemy is 100-150 kilometers away in front of you, at 10 o'clock, at an altitude of 7,000 meters, and continues to climb, I order you to approach them from a height of 8000-9000 meters in high and low formations! ”
