The tension between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire touched the nerves of countries around the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Negotiations were underway in Constantinople, and the Chinese Empire and the German Empire, mediated by Russia, Turkey, Italy, Pakistan and other countries, agreed to suspend military operations and reach a ceasefire agreement first.

The Germans knew very well that no matter whether the negotiations succeeded or not, the Chinese Empire would eventually send troops to German Southwest Africa to seize this colony belonging to the German Empire, and the German Imperial Government would eventually sacrifice the German colony in Southwest Africa in order to gain a strategic buffer. Therefore, the German army must be prepared to quickly dispatch troops to the German colonies in southwest Africa during the negotiation period, and deploy all kinds of war materials to prepare for a long war with the Chinese Empire.

For the Chinese Empire, agreeing to negotiate and reach a cease-fire agreement was nothing more than a delaying tactic.

While negotiating, the Chinese Empire stepped up the mobilization of air defense forces in the Walvis Bay area, and at the same time, it was also actively searching for the mysterious bomber group of the German Imperial Air Force through various channels.

Once found by the Chinese Empire, the negotiations will break down in an instant.

The Germans also understood this, so Hitler had ordered a cessation of all external activity at a secret air base in the desert of German North Africa to prevent detection by the Chinese Empire.

However, Hitler did not know that in order to find out this mysterious German bomber group, the three major commands of the entire Shence Army in the European theater, the African theater, and even the Middle East theater had already taken joint action, sending a huge scale of air, sea and ground forces to find it.

Around the North Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, etc., all the waters around Africa are patrolled and searched by warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

The long African coastline did not detect the presence of aircraft carriers of the German Empire, which ruled out the possibility that the German bomber group took off from the aircraft carrier.

As a result, the Imperial Chinese Navy again focused on the Mediterranean direction, and the most advanced submarines quietly approached every naval base on the coastline of the German Empire, monitoring the German High Seas Fleet warships there, focusing on the German aircraft carriers in the port, but after seeing that the combat planes taking off and landing on the deck of the German aircraft carriers were all fighters, and there were no bombers flying long distances, the possibility of this place was quickly ruled out.

"We have reconnoitred all the German aircraft carriers, all of them are in port, there is no trace of recent sorties, and there are no large long-range bombers on the flight decks of German aircraft carriers, so we can rule out the possibility that the German aircraft carrier battle group is providing strategic bombing."

In London, the European Theater Command of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army, Li Weijun presided over a military meeting and was listening to reports on this aspect.

"At the same time, we re-dispatched reconnaissance aircraft to conduct aerial reconnaissance of the German colonies in North Africa, and found no suspicious signs."

"According to our investigation, the Germans dispatched at least a thousand large bombers and dropped thousands of tons of aerial bombers, otherwise it would not have been possible to destroy Monrovia. With such a large bomber group, it is impossible that there are no clues, we must have missed something. ”

In the conference room, the military generals did not believe the results of the investigation and insisted that they had missed something, which made the officials of the department in charge of the investigation very embarrassed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have done our best, our scouts have not closed their eyes for three days and three nights, almost carpet search and reconnaissance, all places where there are people have been reconnoitred, it is impossible to miss anything."

Li Weijun suddenly asked: "The places where there are people have been reconnoitred, but what about the places where there are no people?" ”

The intelligence officer replied: "Lord Qiyu, there are only a few German colonies, sparsely populated, barren land, and most of them are deserts, so the population is basically concentrated near the coastline. If there is no place where there is no one, it is the Sahara Desert, and you would not think that the German army hid the air base in the desert! That's simply impossible, the Sahara Desert can't even survive people, let alone have an air base. ”

Li Weijun frowned, the German bomber group must be not far from the Walvis Bay area, and after ruling out the possibility of German aircraft carriers, the possibility of taking off from the mainland of the German Empire remains. But if you think about it, the bomber group that took off from the mainland of the German Empire traveled as much as 12,000 kilometers to and from the Walvis Bay area, and at such a long distance, even the F20, the most powerful bomber equipped by the Imperial Chinese Air Force, could not fly 12,000 kilometers continuously, not to mention that there was a dive-drop bombing in the middle.

What's more, the Mediterranean Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy cruises 24 hours a day, and if such a huge group of German bombers takes off from the German mainland, it will not be able to escape the eyes of the Imperial Chinese Navy during the day, even if it flies across the Mediterranean Sea at night, it will take 12,000 kilometers to fly in 12 hours, and the speed per hour will reach 1,200 kilometers, which is absolutely impossible.

In this way, this group of German mysterious bombers must not have taken off from the German Empire itself, so the problem arises, the place where such a large group of German bombers can take off and land can only be in a few colonies in German Africa.

Of the German colonies of German North Africa, German Southwest Africa, German Congo, and German East Africa, only German North Africa was the most suspicious, because German bomber groups flew from the direction of North Africa.

However, the air bases in German North Africa and have been reconnoitred by the reconnaissance planes of the Chinese Imperial Air Force more than once, there is no sign of a large bomber group staying at all, after all, the fighters of this era cannot be folded into the room, and can only be parked in the hangar, especially the large bombers, which are large in size and have particularly long wings, and if they are placed on the airfield, they can be easily discovered.

As a result, what was in front of Li Weijun was a dead end, a huge contradiction.

"Is it really in the desert?"

Li Weijun suddenly came up with this idea, even he thought it was ridiculous, and the other generals shook their heads, no one believed that there would be a German air base in the Sahara Desert, which was said to be dead.

"If we can't find it again, we will probably be demoted and go home to pick up the children!"

"Holding a child is a trivial matter, this mysterious German bomber group may come back to attack us at any time, and our fighters cannot take off at night, which will lead to huge threats and losses to our military and civilians."

"That's right, it's a sword that hangs over our heads and can fall at any moment."

"There is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and in the long run, the imperial soldiers will not dare to sleep every night, which will seriously affect their combat effectiveness."

"Soon our European theater will become the biggest laughing stock in the Imperial Divine Army!"

In the conference room, the generals shook their heads and sighed one by one, after so many years of fighting, each of them has a row of medals on their bodies, and they have made outstanding achievements, if they lose face in this war, then they will have regrets and humiliation for the rest of their lives until they retire.

Everyone is not reconciled!

Li Weijun then said: "Order the Roberts Port Air Wing and Africa to send a fleet aircraft carrier battle group to start night take-off and landing training from now on, and stop the night air raid of the German bomber group at any cost." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, especially the air force generals who stood up in shock, because they knew very well how difficult and risky it was to conduct take-off and landing training at night.

An air officer immediately objected: "Commander Li, it is too dangerous for fighters to take off and land at night, and pilots can easily be destroyed and killed." On this point, we have conducted relevant experiments many years ago, because the casualties are so great that as many as seven or eight of the ten fighters will fall during the night take-off and landing, and if the fighters do not run out of ammunition and fuel, the probability of explosion is more than 90%, and the pilot will die for life. ”

Li Weijun sighed and said, "Then let the pilot parachute directly in the air!" We would rather drop the fighters than stop the massive air strikes of the enemy. ”

Parachuting directly into a plane?

This thought instantly thundered a large number of officers, and they looked at Li Weijun one by one dumbfounded.

The air officer continued to shake his head and said: "However, Commander Li, you have never piloted a fighter jet, you may not know, when the pilot flies during the day, he can also distinguish between the sky and the ground, if he flies at night, he can't see the sky and the ground clearly, it is easy to hit the mountain or even directly hit the ground, the line of sight of people at night is only a few meters, for the fighter in the air, the visibility of these few meters is not enough time for the pilot to react, when he sees something in front, it means that he has collided." ”

The officers in the conference room nodded one after another, they were very aware of the situation of the night battle, the people on the ground walked slowly, and the visibility of a few meters might not be able to react to the obstacles, not to mention the fighter jets flying at high speed in the air, and they would not be able to react at all when they saw it.

However, Li Weijun was furious and said angrily: "Bastard! Your Air Force can't do this or that, why does the Empire still keep you bunch of waste? You say you can't see at night, so how did the Germans see it? How did the German bomber group fly over? ”

When asked like this, everyone was stunned, and the empty official was even blindfolded.

Yes, it's all the same people, why were the Germans able to fly over at night with bomber swarms?

This Nima is not scientific!

"Lao Tzu doesn't care what method you use, if the German bomber group comes back at night, whether you are on land or on a sea aircraft carrier, all fighters have to take off for Lao Tzu. I can't kill the German bombers, I'll pull you all out and make a sudden attack! ”

Well, Li Weijun has been holding back the fire in his belly for the past few days, and finally broke out.

The air officials were taken aback, and they didn't dare to say more, and began to think of a way with a bitter face.

The army aviation is better, after all, the airfields on land can be equipped with more lights, and the runway of the airport can be illuminated as if it were daytime, so that it can barely guide fighter jets to take off and land.

The pilots of the Navy aircraft carrier are forced to take off and land fighters on aircraft carriers, which is a high-risk job during the day, and some pilots will accidentally fall into the sea or crash into the aircraft carrier, not to mention that it is at night, there are not so many lighting positions on the aircraft carrier, and a careless will inevitably end up falling headfirst into the sea.

However, the official level crushed people to death, not to mention Li Weijun, the supreme commander of the European theater of operations, he was already angry, and the generals below could only carry out the order.

Fortunately, Li Weijun was not so cold-blooded, and people said that if he did not dare to come, he could allow the pilot to parachute in the air and abandon the fighter.

However, every pilot knows very well what it means to abandon fighter planes, not only is it a matter of military property losses, but the most important thing is that the fighter plane crashes, and it is impossible to immediately replenish new fighters.

Obviously, Li Weijun said that he could allow the pilot to throw away the plane and parachute, but if you think about it, this is a pit! Because Li Weijun said that if he couldn't stop the German bomber group, he would pull all the air force pilots out and break out.

That is to say, the pilot had to take off at night to intercept the German bomber group, and it was not possible to parachute, because if he dropped the fighter, he would not be able to cope with the next wave of German bombing, and he would have to be pulled out to break through.

After figuring out this problem, the empty officials suddenly looked at each other!

Of course, after venting his anger, Li Weijun's mood also calmed down, and he immediately dispatched three anti-aircraft artillery regiments to Port Roberts.

In this way, with the addition of the original one anti-aircraft artillery regiment in Port Roberts, there were four anti-aircraft artillery regiments at once.

At the same time, in Wuhan, the Great Kyoto, in the newly built building of the Imperial General Staff.

Li Weiguo personally came to observe, and the 12 staff offices worked together to find the location of the German bomber group.

I saw five or six staff officers holding compasses, triangular rulers, protractors, and other drawing tools on a huge map of African operations.

On the blackboard next to it, five or six staff officers continued to calculate, from the time when Monrovia was bombed to the end time, and compared the maximum parameters and minimum parameters of the performance data of the Gotha bombers in service in the German army, and even used the parameters of the most advanced F20 bombers in the Chinese Empire to simulate the possible flight speed and distance of the German bomber group, and then calculated where the bomber group took off from.

With Monrovia as the center of the circle, the staff officer took the compass and began to draw circles according to the radius of their respective deduction data, and on the entire combat map, one circle after another, wherever they passed, as long as there were German colonies, they would make a red cross on the intersection.

Chief of the General Staff Lu Haodong reported to Li Weiguo after discussing with other staff officers.

"Your Majesty, after our repeated calculations and deductions, even if the performance of the German bombers has reached the performance of the Reich's F20 bombers, it is impossible to take off from the German mainland."

Li Weiguo suddenly frowned and said: "It's not from Germany itself, then it's from Africa?" However, the European Theater Command has repeatedly reconnoitred all parts of Africa, and it is impossible to have such an airfield for large-scale take-off and landing bombers. ”

Lu Haodong said: "Your Majesty, there is still an area that has not been reconnoitred, that is, the Sahara Desert, if the reconnaissance results of the European Theater Command are credible, then we have reason to suspect that the secret bomber group of the German army is in the Sahara Desert." ”

"No Man's Sahara Desert?"

Li Weiguo thought slowly for a while, and suddenly sneered: "If it was Hitler, he would indeed do it!" ”
