If Eisenhower's choice was not to leave Barton and escape, but to rescue with the right, and even use the trick of encircling Wei to save Zhao, he would attack the Maginot Line with all his might. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

All right! Congratulations to Eisenhower, you finally jumped into the trap that Rommel had dug for Rommel, and all Rommel wanted was for Eisenhower to run away without shame, but to fight bravely to the last soldier.

In the first half of the "Trojan Plan", the initiative to encircle and annihilate Patton was in the hands of Rommel, while the initiative in the strategic decisive battle in the second half was in the hands of Eisenhower.

As long as Eisenhower said that he would not play with Rommel anymore, he would directly leave the besieged Patton Anglo-American troops and flee to the major ports of France, and then calmly board the ship to England, Rommel could not do anything.

All the life and death of the Anglo-American forces that landed were in Eisenhower's hands, and now no one knows how Eisenhower would choose.

However, Rommel's judgment that Eisenhower would inspire the rescue of the Anglo-American forces commanded by Patton, and even attack the Maginot Line with all his might, was determined by Eisenhower's character, and Eisenhower was a very tough and tenacious person who would never give up until the last moment, and this character can have two sides.

At this time, there were still more than 600,000 remaining troops in the Ardennes Forest, and Rommel had to reserve 300,000 reserve troops for himself, so there were only more than 300,000 people who went to block the rescue of the British and American forces.

This also happened to create the false impression that some German troops were already out of troops, and the more than 600,000 German troops were divided into two army groups, namely Army Group E and Army Group F. Army Group E was tasked with blocking the Anglo-American forces, and Army Group F was tasked with strategic preparation.

Army Group E must not only hold back the Anglo-American forces, but also launch some counterattacks appropriately, and cross the Maas River, where to establish a bridgehead and occupy the most advantageous strategic position for the next strategic decisive battle, so that some of these German casualties must be very heavy,

……

At six o'clock in the morning of September 28, 1941, more than 6,000 German planes of all types took off and headed straight for hundreds of airfields in France, all of which had been bombed by the British and American forces, and it took the British and American forces two months to repair some of the main runways, and now, these airports are about to be tested by blood and fire.

It is impossible to keep such a large-scale air raid secret, not to mention that the radar of the British and American coalition forces is also advanced, and it is very easy to discover such a huge group of aircraft.

After taking off from hundreds of airfields and airfields in the border area, German planes flew over the Maginot Line in just over 10 minutes, with hundreds of large planes and dozens of small planes in each group, each of which had its own target, and these planes were a mixture of fighters and bombers.

The main target of the first wave of air raids was to bomb the airfields of the Anglo-American coalition, and no matter how many planes the British and American forces had, as long as there were more airfields that were bombed, then the strategic strength of the air force would not be brought into play.

……

Peters is now the commander of the aviation division, but at this time he also personally piloted the plane to take to the air, this time Peters's mission is to raid the large military airport in the southern suburbs of Paris, the assault distance is relatively long, and there are many blocks and attacks from the British and American coalition forces.

Therefore, there are more than 130 aircraft in the group led by Stone Man, of which 70% are fighters, only 30% are bombers, BF109 and BF110 are the main fighters, DO21 is the main bomber, and there are two JU89 strategic bombers in the sky above this formation.

This JU89 has a bomb load of ten tons, a range of more than 3,000 kilometers, and a flight altitude of 10,000 meters, which is almost the same level as the B17 strategic bomber, they are the trump card in the hands of Peters, and other German bombers are just targets to attract firepower, which is a matter of no way, and it is difficult for Peters to complete the bombing mission without doing so.

Ten minutes after Peters led the group of planes to fly over the Maginot Line, suddenly there were countless flashes of fire on the ground, and Sterman was fine, this was the anti-aircraft artillery position of the British and American forces.

You must know that the bombers at this time are all fully loaded with bombs, and the flight altitude can only be about 6,000 meters, and the escort fighters must also accompany the bomber group.

In an instant, countless explosions exploded around Peters's group, and the air wave from the explosion shook Peters's plane up and down.

The explosions of "boom ......" came and went, and there were at least hundreds of anti-aircraft guns arranged by these British and American forces below, and it seemed that Peters and they had encountered a large air defense position of the British and American forces.

"Quick, pull up, accelerate through the enemy's anti-aircraft fire circle...... Hurry up ......"

While giving an urgent order, Peters quickly pulled up his landline BF110, and the rest of the battles were under Peters's urgent orders. They also quickly pulled up their own planes, and those bombers full of ammunition were miserable.

In just two minutes, six of the thirty-six bombers were shot down. The planes were either blown up in volleys or plunged headlong into the ground with a scream.

The entire fleet was in shock for the rest of its life, and Peters, who had just been regrouping, received an urgent report from the lead plane:

"A group of enemy planes was discovered, and the number was extremely large, about two hundred."

The two JU89s at an altitude of 10,000 meters are still flying according to the established route, while the group below is at an altitude of about 6,000 meters, and the general flight altitude of fighters at this time is only eight or nine thousand meters, and it is difficult to fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the planes of the Allied and German forces are the same.

For example, the American P40 fighter has an absolute ceiling of only 9,327 meters, and the German BF109 is the same, with a ceiling of only more than 9,000 meters, which is also the reason why the Allied B17 strategic bombers in history did not suffer much loss when they bombed the German mainland.

So a fighter with an altitude of just over 9,000 meters cannot attack a strategic bomber at an altitude of 10,000 meters? Yes, it's to take advantage of the rollercoaster effect.

To put it simply, the fighter first climbs to an altitude of 9,000 meters, and when it dives to an altitude of 7,000 meters, it must be a dive with full horsepower, and at this time gradually pull up the plane, the fighter will fly to gain huge inertia and rush to an altitude of 10,000 meters, and then the fighter can attack the bomber at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

This method is feasible, but the fighter jet that rushes to an altitude of 10,000 meters by inertia, because the air is so thin that it cannot continuously get enough lift, his altitude will gradually decrease, even if the plane is at full power, it is also like this, and only after it has dropped to the absolute ceiling, will it stop reducing altitude.
