Chapter 425: Landing in Norway

The twelve members of the long-bearded seal crawled like crocodiles until they were safe under the dock and could not be spotted.

Without Zhou Feihong's order, everyone immediately entered a hidden position that could be guarded. Take out your own weapons from their respective waterproof bags, from assault rifles to sniper rifles and some firearms with special functions. Check your weapon and get ready to shoot.

These guns are different from those used by other special forces, with a repeating line engraved on the inside of the barrel and a heavy black water treatment technology silencer, so the sound is very low when used. And all are specially made firearms that can shoot underwater.

The waves continued to crash against the beach, and the water at the top of the waves also decreased to the team members from time to time, and the sound of the tide reflected back from the stakes under the pier, thundering and roaring.

The waves washed up on the shore, and except for his head and weapons, Zhou Feihong was completely surrounded by the sea. The sea that rushed up calmed down, retreated again, and after a while, another wave rushed up.

Zhou Feihong looked at the wooden stake wrapped in barnacles on the left, and carefully studied the wooden maze in front of him.

"Whew!" A whistle passed through the waves and came from afar.

The members of the Bearded SEALs heard the whistle, even with the roar of the waves and the howling wind.

"Whew!" "Whew!"

Then another whistle sounded, then a third.

Thirty-five meters away, a man in tattered clothes stepped out from behind a stake and waved at them.

Twelve weapons were pointed at the incoming, fingers waiting at the trigger. As long as the other party makes any move, they will not hesitate to pull the trigger.

Mickey walked them in, arms outstretched, hands outstretched, and he shouted, "Beard, beard." ”

His voice was heard only by the members of the Longbearded SEAL Squad in the sound of the waves.

Zhou Feihong looked away from Mickey for a while, looked at his left and right, then got up and said, "Canned." Nice to see you. ”

Mickey, like many spies. Chen Shao is absolutely at ease with them, and he is also one of the people he trusts the most. In addition to what was there, there were many reasons for this trust over time.

Mickey and the others are the same as the members of the long-bearded seals, in order to be in actual action. Complete the command. For this task. They are in danger. Once something goes wrong. The consequences will be devastating.

"We don't have much time to mess around, you and your people change and get ready to go." Mickey finished. Then he turned and walked inland.

Zhou Feihong whistled, followed behind Mickey without hesitation, and motioned for the other members to follow.

When they come to an abandoned grocery room next to the dock, Mickey motions for them to go in. It was on the road leading to the docks, and when they all walked in, he stood guard outside the grocery store.

The long-bearded seals in the grocery room untied their scuba suits, folded the wet clothes from their legs, folded them over their arms a bit, and removed their jackets, slippers, and bandanas from their backpacks. In a few minutes, they were dressed up.

After cleaning up the things that shouldn't be there for the time being, Zhou Feihong informed Mickey that he could come in.

Seeing these long-bearded SEALs who had changed their combat gear, Mitch spoke, "I'll give you an update first. ”

Although on the way over, he had received many changes in the situation of the mission, but it was the intelligence officer in front of him who knew the situation best. For this reason, except for the two who went out to guard, everyone else, including Zhou Feihong, waited quietly.

"After the defeat of the British Airborne Special Forces Platoon from England, the Germans strengthened their defenses in the heavy water plant. ……”

As the European theater of war dragged into a stalemate, and at the top of the Allied forces, a message was received that they had infiltrated senior German intelligence officers that Germany was developing a powerful weapon of destruction. It was claimed that the appearance of such a weapon would change the entire battlefield situation and that Germany would gain an all-round superiority.

This weapon is a nuclear weapon, and for the Americans, who are already beginning to develop it, although the performance and power of this weapon are not yet known. However, when they learned that Germany had made great progress in the development of the atomic bomb. I also began to worry that if this weapon was as the scientists depicted, it would be a catastrophe for the Allies.

Therefore, the Allies began to plan that they would have to destroy the German nuclear physics research facilities. And at any cost.

Heavy water is an indispensable raw material for the manufacture of atomic bombs. It is extracted from ordinary water that contains special minerals. It is known that the only plant in the world today capable of refining heavy water is the Norsk Electrification Plant in Norway.

As early as last year, in '42, Germany conducted nuclear fission research tests and ordered heavy water from Norway's Norsk electrification plant, which increased its annual output from 300 pounds to 10,000 pounds. After the German occupation of Norway, Hitler ordered the plant to produce heavy water in large quantities and ship it to Germany, thus speeding up the process of atomic fission experiments. Germany's research tests of nuclear fission posed a threat to the Allies.

Through the information provided by intelligence officers, Britain and the United States learned of this information and decided to sabotage the electrification plant. Eliminate Germany's nuclear weapons research infrastructure.

The plant is located about 110 kilometers west of Oslo, Norway, in the midst of steep mountain peaks. A 7-storey building made of reinforced concrete and an equally sturdy water electrolysis plant. On the three-hundred-meter-high cliff, all the intersections approaching it are guarded.

If the factory were to be bombed, not only would it cause more damage to the local population than the damage to the target itself, but it would have done nothing to help the Germans' increasingly fortified fortifications.

In the light of these circumstances, the only way to blow up the factory was to send a special unit and select a special team from the Norwegian Resistance to cooperate with the sabotage attack. The selected personnel should be familiar with the factory situation and the surrounding terrain.

But in the end, the task of blowing up equipment for the production of heavy water was given to two British airborne special service platoons (the predecessor of the British Air Force Special Operations Team). The British army gathered extensive intelligence and learned through the Norwegian Resistance that the German occupation authorities had requested an increase in the production of heavy water, and had obtained a plan for the installation of supplementary production equipment, which was carefully analysed and studied.

In view of the fact that the German air defense warning facility in Norway did not have radar, the British decided to send the fighters there by glider. Underground workers from Norway were needed to pick up on the high ground on the north side of the factory.

Gliders carrying special forces and explosives were very risky when landing, given the rare calm weather along the coast of central Norway, and the high ground was full of rocks and trenches. Since a large amount of explosives is required to destroy the target, it is not suitable to parachute, so it was decided to use 2 gliders and tow them by 2 bombers.

The attackers were divided into two groups of 16 people each, and according to the plan of action, the fighters were trained in extreme secrecy.

Two months ago, two British Halifax bombers, towing two gliders, took off from a military airfield in Scotland. According to the plan, there was a small radio beacon machine on the landing site in the hilly region of Norway, controlled by a special agent. The beacon machine indicates the position of the tractor to ensure that the glider enters the predetermined air and disengages. The landing was guarded by members of the secret Norwegian resistance and marked by a bonfire.

For the first time, the RAF used a bomber to tow a glider, but the inexperienced crew, coupled with bad weather, the first tractor could not receive a ground signal due to a malfunction of navigation equipment, so it had to rely on maps to guess the flight. Later, the plane entered Miyun, lost altitude due to operational failure, and when it reached the north of Stavanger, the towing rope broke, and the glider landed in the dark, killing two pilots and six combat members, and seriously wounding four others, and being captured by German patrols.

The other flew over the target area, but due to the premature detachment, the glider landed near Hleyland and was detected by the enemy. Three members of the assault team were killed on landing, and the others were captured. The towed bomber crashed into a nearby mountain, killing all the crew.

In addition, the German detective team had intercepted the radio signal of the British, immediately arrived at the accident site by car, and found explosive bags and detonators in the wreckage of the glider. The British fled for their lives with their wounded companions on their backs. He did not go far before he was captured, and the captives were taken to the city defense headquarters in the city of Eggersund, where they were briefly interrogated. Ordered by Hitler on the disposal of enemy airborne personnel and partisans, they were all shot.

The first failure of the Allied Powers led to the German preparations for the transfer of the heavy water and the transport of them back to German territory. And Chen Shao sent the Longbeard SEALs to completely destroy the German heavy water plant.

Of course, the long-bearded seals did not fight on their own, they also had a "friendly army", and the British sent Goldman members to train for two months, and also developed a detailed Condor plan.

"Our task was simple, to 'cooperate' with the British and wipe out all the heavy water in Germany. Don't think that the mission is really simple, we are facing the elite German troops this time, and it is possible that we will face their special forces. Everyone has to put their best effort into ensuring that the task is completed smoothly. Remember, we can't afford to lose. ”

After Mickey finished speaking, he walked to the corner of the grocery room, removed the miscellaneous items on a large box, opened the lid, and said, "This is a good thing for you." ”
