Chapter 631: The Arrow That Changed History
In the dark night sky, 1,000 German Gotha II bombers roared past, and the African natives who did not know the truth came out of their shacks and looked up at the sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The black chieftain, covered in bird feathers, immediately began praying for the gods' blessing to keep these huge locusts from running rampant in his tribe.
"Where are we?"
In the cockpit of the pilot plane, Celem suddenly opened his eyes and asked.
"Report sir, at the current pace and direction, we may be over Côte d'Ivoire and in half an hour before we enter the German colony of South-West Africa."
"Côte d'Ivoire!"
Silem whispered the name, and looked down at the darkness with occasional sporadic light, indicating that it was still a backward and primitive area.
The captain felt that Silem did not know much about Côte d'Ivoire, so he took the initiative to talk.
"Sir, Côte d'Ivoire used to be the sphere of influence of the French Empire, but after France was defeated by us, it should theoretically belong to the colony of the Empire, but unfortunately it was forcibly divided into their sphere of influence by the Chinese Empire."
Silem snorted coldly and said, "The Chinese Empire can't be in Africa for a few days, and after today, let them understand that the great German Empire is the real overlord of the earth." ”
The captain asked excitedly: "Sir, this thousand-ton aviation fried egg should be able to raze Roberts Port in the Chinese Empire to the ground!" ”
"That's a must!" Simla smiled proudly: "After tonight, Roberts Harbor will be turned into a sea of fire, and 100,000 Chinese Imperial Shence troops will be cremated!" ”
Both of them couldn't bear the loneliness, so they started chatting, and soon half an hour passed.
At this time, the German bomber group had actually flown into the territory of the German Southwest African colony, but the captain was not sure in the dark light.
"Sir, calculate the time, we should have entered northern Liberia, why haven't we seen the ground guidance signal yet?"
"It may not have arrived yet, keep heading southwest, and even if there is no ground guidance, we can fly directly to the shoreline and find Port Roberts."
Silem said calmly, but he was also wondering in his heart, but he also understood that the map of this era was very inaccurate, and he might not have reached the intended pick-up location yet.
"Sir, there's an indication over there!"
The captain looked left and right, and finally let him find out.
It was an indicator light made up of hundreds of braziers, and when you looked down from the sky at night, you could clearly see that it was a huge arrow sign.
According to the prior agreement, Hitler would send the Gestapo to conduct fire signal guidance on the ground to ensure that the German bomber group could successfully find Roberts Port, where the Chinese Imperial Army was stationed, so as to carry out effective bombing.
The main reason for ground guidance is that Hitler himself understood that this kind of night air raid was too difficult for bomber pilots, and in the absence of satellite navigation and accurate maps to match each other, it was easy to go in the wrong direction at night, because the earth was rotating all the time, the azimuth angle of the ground target and the aircraft's route was constantly changing, there was no precision instrument calculation and satellite navigation repositioning, and the plane often deviated from the course, but the pilots on the plane did not feel that they had deviated from the course at all.
Hitler ordered the Gestapo to set up a guide light in northern Liberia, and the direction of guidance was the direction directly facing Roberts Port, as long as the German bomber group saw the guide light, they could recorrect their course and continue to fly in the direction of the guide light, so that they could reach the sky over Roberts Harbor correctly.
It can be said that Hitler had been planning for several years for tonight's air raids, and he had calculated almost every detail, and finally waited for the 100,000 Chinese Imperial troops in Roberts Harbor to be severely damaged in one fell swoop.
Imagine that 1,000 tons of specially made aerial eggs were dropped from the sky over Roberts Harbor, and the cliff would destroy the entire Roberts Harbor, including the civilians in the city and the 100,000 soldiers of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army in the base.
As soon as China and Germany went to war, they dealt a heavy blow to the Chinese Empire and slapped it in the face, which would be a good opportunity for the German Empire to revive the prestige of a great power, and it would also be a good opportunity for Hitler to greatly enhance his personal prestige.
At this moment, the captains of the various air wings in the German bomber group saw the fire below, as well as the direction pointed by the arrows.
"Sir, this direction is a deviation from the route we have taken before! That's about 5 degrees off! Could it be that the people on the ground are mistaken! ”
The captain looked puzzled and asked Silem about it.
Silem looked at the course of the bomber group, as well as the mechanical air quadrant in his hand, and then looked at the direction of the ground guidance, and the difference was indeed nearly five degrees in the middle.
"The deviation is a bit big!"
However, Silem soon remembered Hitler's words and the conversation between the German experts who were by his side at the time.
"On the ground, the Gestapo, led by the Führer himself, is responsible for the guidance, and they should know more about the Walvis Bay region of the Chinese Empire than we do, and there should be no mistake in guiding the direction. In addition, we are in the air, affected by the rotation of the earth and the error of the map, there will be deviations between theory and practice, which is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry. Before leaving, the Führer told me that if we get lost while flying at night, we should follow the guidance from the ground! ”
Hearing Silem say this, the captain no longer had any doubts, and immediately recorrected the course in the direction guided by the ground and continued to fly west.
The captains of the other German wings all flew with the bomber where Silem was, so they also adjusted their direction and flew all the way down.
On the ground, at this moment, Feng Guozhang and other special combat team members were staring at the dense bomber group in the air, and the roar made them feel palpitations, such a huge group of planes roared past, no need to guess to know, it must be going to the Chinese Imperial Army in the Walvis Bay area, thinking of Li Yuanhong's special advice before leaving, Feng Guozhang and the others were instantly frightened into a cold sweat.
"Captain! They've changed course! ”
Feng Guozhang nodded, he also saw it, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that at the critical moment, Feng Guozhang decisively issued an order, asking his subordinates to rearrange the braziers one by one as quickly as possible, so that the direction of the arrow pointed to Monrovia, the location of the German army.
This is all thanks to the interrogation of the German Gestapo who was captured by them, and after more than a dozen rounds of fat beatings, all kinds of cruel torture methods finally made the Gestapo relent, and explained their mission.
For the Gestapo, it is generally impossible to confess in such a short time. However, Feng Guozhang and the others were lucky, the Gestapo in front of them was still a novice, so they were retained by other Gestapo to guard it.
Feng Guozhang was stunned when he learned that the hundreds of braziers in front of him were used to guide the German bomber group to bomb Roberts Harbor. It's a pity that Feng Guozhang is too far away from Roberts Port in order to go deep behind enemy lines to investigate intelligence, and the soldiers sent back to report the news will take two hours at the earliest, and they can only do it when they cross five blockade lines in a row and are not discovered by German training soldiers.
According to the captured Gestapo, the German bomber group would arrive in the nearby airspace in another half an hour, and the German bomber group would only take half an hour to fly from here to Roberts Port, so the Chinese Imperial Army in Roberts Port could not get the news in time.
Feng Guozhang even speculated that even if Li Yuanhong of Roberts Harbor was ready for air defense, an anti-aircraft artillery regiment might not be able to intercept a thousand German bombers. Once a thousand tons of aviation eggs fall, the entire port of Roberts will be destroyed, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
At the critical moment, Feng Guozhang thought of a way, he ordered his subordinates to adjust the direction of the arrow placement of the brazier, which was originally towards Roberts Port, and then turned to the direction of Monrovia, where the German army was located.
Of course, Feng Guozhang was not completely sure, and he was not relieved until he saw that the German bomber group really turned.
"Captain! The German bomber group flew to Monrovia, do you think they will really throw a thousand tons of aviation eggs on the heads of their own people? ”
After the team members were relieved, they became active again and surrounded Feng Guozhang and asked.
Feng Guozhang couldn't help but be happy: "Who knows? I hope that the air officers of the German army are all second-class goods! ”
The special operators were eager for the German airmen to throw the eggs at their own people, and everyone grinned happily at the thought that the whole of Monrovia would be bombed by a thousand tons of aerial bombed eggs.
After the joy, Feng Guozhang regained his seriousness.
"Call back the 2nd and 3rd squadrons at once, we have to go after that German Gestapo!"
As soon as they heard that they were going to pursue the German Gestapo, some fighters were excited, while others were confused.
"Captain, seeing that the German bombers are going to bomb their own people, we have to go and see the excitement! By the way, take advantage of the big bombing opportunity to catch a few big fish and come back! ”
Many of the team members nodded their heads.
Feng Guozhang shook his head and said, "You are right to think so, according to normal reasoning, I should indeed do this." But have you ever thought about it, the German bomber group in the sky was originally going to bomb our base, that is to say, the German Gestapo who had just left, also held on to your idea, and when the German bomber group bombed Roberts Port, they suddenly attacked and caught a few big fish. ”
The team members suddenly woke up and nodded their heads.
"Captain, what are we going to do then?"
"Captain, this German Gestapo is not ordinary!"
"Yes! You said that they may be German special forces, then it will be difficult for our border guards to stop them, and once they infiltrate Roberts Harbor, it will be troublesome! ”
Feng Guozhang nodded and said, "That's right! They must not be allowed to enter Port Roberts, so everyone listen, we have to hit the forces and destroy this German special forces first. ”
But there are still some team members who are disappointed: "Hey, I'm afraid we won't be able to see this feast, tomorrow the whole army will attack, and I don't know if we can catch up." ”
"Don't complain!"
Feng Guozhang scolded angrily: "Have you forgotten? What is the code of our special forces on the battlefield? ”
Like snipers, snipers are the first to eliminate the opposing snipers on the battlefield, and then ordinary soldiers. The code of special forces is also to discover the opponent's special forces on the battlefield at the first time, and eliminate the opponent's special forces at the first time, and then participate in conventional wars, because if you can't eliminate the opponent's special forces at the first time, you are likely to be hit hard by the opponent's special forces, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Feng Guozhang made a quick decision and led a squadron to quickly pursue the German Gestapo, but fortunately, he had already sent team members to track in advance, so it was much more convenient.
The 2nd Squadron and the 3rd Squadron outside, after receiving the order, also moved closer to the 1st Squadron led by Feng Guozhang one after another.
Half an hour later, a group of German bombers arrived on the west coast of Africa.
"Report to the sir, there's a target ahead!"
Silem was shivering with cold at the moment, this kind of tent truck-style bomber flew for most of the night, and even if he wore two sets of down jackets, he couldn't bear the cold.
After hearing the report, he glanced down.
"Woo! It's so late, and these damn Chinese are still having a bonfire? ”
Silem couldn't help but curse.
The captain also said angrily: "I think this group of Chinese probably thought that they had successfully bullied the German Empire by shelling Monrovia during the day, so they were so happy and celebrated!" ”
Silem said hatefully: "That's right! Damn the Chinese, let you taste the special dinner that the great Führer Hitler prepared for you! ”
The captain smirked, "They will definitely be grateful to us and remember us forever!" ”
"Long live the great German Empire!"
"Long live the great Führer Hitler!"
Although Hitler was not yet the head of the German Empire, the loyal lackey of Silem had long been convinced.
The captain also shouted excitedly, and at the same time signaled to the captains of the other wings.
"Prepare to bomb and attack!"
"Children, the future of the German Empire depends on you!"
"I'll have to shoot it right later, and blow up the group of dogs down there!"
Silem got up and gave the order to the bombardiers in the cabin behind him.
……
The fortress of Monrovia, after a fierce battle during the day, the entire fortress was bombed almost beyond recognition by the fortifications facing the side of the sea.
The Germans suffered heavy casualties, more than 1,400 German artillery officers were killed, and the number of wounded reached 3,000.
This is the huge damage caused by the eighteen-inch cannon, even if the battle is over, just looking at those giant craters more than ten meters deep, as well as the stumps and broken arms everywhere, will make normal people scared and weak, if there is a heart patient, they will roll their eyes and fall down.
However, at this time, General Schrienen was having a big dinner.
He led the soldiers of the entire Monrovia fortress to the commanding heights and looked to the northwest.
"Soldiers, although we sacrificed many of our comrades during the day, we won the battle and drove out the invaders."
"Soldiers, tonight I was supposed to hold a memorial meeting to pay tribute to the Imperial soldiers who died during the day. But I think the best way to pay tribute is for the fallen Imperial soldiers to see the fall of their enemies. ”
"That's right! Perhaps many of you present already know that the Empire has sent a thousand bombers, which will soon fly over the opposite port of Roberts and drop a thousand tons of aerial fried eggs! ”
"Think about it, everybody! A thousand tons of aviation fried eggs! Enough to raze Roberts Harbor to the ground and kill all the rats there! Today we have sacrificed 1,400 soldiers, and in a moment we will ask for 100,000 elites of the Chinese Empire's Shence Army to accompany the funeral! ”
"Now that the time is almost up, let's enjoy the most brilliant fireworks under the night sky!"
"Hooray! Deutsche! ”
"Hooray! Schrifen! ”
……
The German officers and soldiers throughout Monrovia were instantly excited, and they all looked to the northwest, looking forward to the splendid and dazzling feast in the air.
