An hour before dark, at the third exit of the "Vault" base, Lynn stood beside the icy rocks in a cold military uniform. Without squinting, he watched as his submarines sailed out of the cavern passage one after another, a natural fjord that had already been thoroughly surveyed, and the captains who had been trained in close seaworthiness could drive the submarines out almost with their eyes closed. I saw them dive quickly after entering the fjord, basically leaving only a small periscope lens on the water, and from a distance it looked as if a swarm of water snakes were swimming towards the open sea. Their pitch-black bodies were not visible on the surface of the water, leaving strange and mysterious ripples quietly spreading in circles and circles...... "Sir! ”

"Sir!"

The two officers who followed the sound were dressed in suits specially prepared for the night battle environment. Walking in front is the former commander of the first detachment of the "Vampire" night combat commando and the current commander of the night combat battalion of the Imperial Guard. Colonel Bruns, who was followed by the former commander of the 3rd detachment and the current deputy commander of the night combat battalion, who had previously participated in the raid on Los Amos. Lieutenant Colonel Blaze. These two men are old acquaintances to Lynn, and they are also Laurentz. Bach's old subordinates. In the past, he said that he was still a recruit of the "Vampire" commando, and the two were already the mainstay of the combat unit, and each of them had made outstanding achievements in the extremely difficult environment of the Eastern and Western Fronts. At this time, although nominally serving as their temporary superior, Lynn still addressed them as "sir" and used the honorific "you", and never spoke with a gesture of overpower. The more this is the case, the more harmonious the relationship between the two special operations commanders and Lynn becomes, and even the officers and soldiers of the night combat camp are full of good feelings towards Lynn.

Lynn turned around and said calmly, "Everyone is ready?" ”

Colonel Bruns was only about 1.7 meters tall, with a broad body and thick limbs, which was very much in line with the image of the Germanic barbarian warrior before the Middle Ages, but he did not usually like to grow a beard, always kept his face clean, and even his hair was meticulous, and he looked like he was in his early thirties at the age of forty. He rubbed his hands and said: "I've been waiting for almost a year, and everyone can't wait for a vigorous battle, regardless of life and death, just the supreme honor." ”

Lynn smiled heartily, and then reminded: "It is good to have such a spirit, but the pace of climbing honor has just been retaken, and there is still a long way to go...... We have to keep as useful as we can, and we will return to the European continent to do something new! ”

"Of course." Bruns responded with a smile.

As for Blaze, Lynn's old friend, after returning to the base from North America, he was rewarded with a military rank promotion and a sword cross, although it was not as "perverted" as the reward Lynn received, it was a solid step forward, not to mention that he was not a power-hungry person in his bones. Now that exactly half a year has passed since the once-in-a-century Los Amos raid, and he is about to appear again, Braz's mood is also excited, but his words still maintain his inherent calmness: "Don't worry, sir, the night camp is full of experienced veterans, how to fight such a battle, officers and soldiers can know in their hearts." We are now in much better mental and equipment condition than we were at this time a year ago, and we have the sudden surname to fight, and the annihilation of those Soviet units in one fell swoop should be very smooth. ”

Lynn smiled and took the cigarette from Blaze. Due to the intense search carried out by Soviet aircraft and ships in northern Norway, the base has recently suspended receiving supplies from the outside, but this has not had a fundamental impact on the regular supply of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. With solid financial reserves, in the nearly one year after the end of the war, Lynn, Andriy and others did not have a unique large-scale trip to Europe, and the reconstruction and expansion of the North American intelligence network, the consolidation and construction of South American bases, each of which invested more than 10 million pounds. In particular, in the German-immigrant settlements of Chile, Argentina, and Brazil in South America, the Reich's organizers used the surplus equipment of the United States to build a large number of factories and organize German workers for secret paramilitary training.

Each lit a cigarette, and the three of them looked at the ice field to the northwest. When it was getting dark, the Soviet advance troops were indeed encamped, which was not a negative performance. They set up makeshift camps, maintained close contact with the landing headquarters and fleet using telephone lines and radios, and then sent smaller patrols to set up a guard post in the vicinity, creating a steady progress. At the current speed of their advancement, they would be able to stand in the position they were in now, and no matter how well the external camouflage of the base was, it would be impossible to avoid reconnaissance and search close at hand. During these two days, all plans from the outside were also carried out in an orderly manner, the news of the Soviet invasion of Norwegian territorial waters and the landing of Soviet troops was widely spread, and the submarine attacks on the cruise ship "Europa" and the British light cruiser were also propagated at the same time, and the Northern Europe and even the European continent were already in great panic as a result, and people feared that the fact was as reported by some media -- that the formidable Soviet Red Army would fully invade westward at the arrival of early spring, and that they would follow the strategic steps of the Third Reich. First by occupying Norway to gain a pedal to the North Sea and the Atlantic, by submarines and planes cutting off Europe from the Americas, then by sweeping West Germany, the Low Countries and France all the way to the Bay of Biscay with a torrent of steel, and even launching a cross-channel landing operation before the United States had completed its military mobilization, thus planting the red flag throughout Europe. Although the Soviet Union was still far from recovering from the losses of the world war in 1946, the unsparing slander and vilification of the Soviet Union by Western countries for more than 20 years, coupled with the deliberate misleading behavior of some media in the past six months, made it easy for people to believe this kind of speculation, which was mostly conjecture. However, the pace of development, as Lynn feared, was not enough for the Soviets to quickly withdraw from northern Norway, and there were even indications that the Soviet military was massing follow-up landing troops and large quantities of supplies in northern ports.

Looking up at the sky, where the light was gradually dimming, Lynn's mood finally had a hint of nervousness before the performance, and he looked at the two colleagues, who had been promoted from the position of junior officer to the rank of colonel, and admonished and confirmed: "Once the battle starts, you must move forward steadfastly, completely cut the enemy's meridians and blood vessels like a bayonet, and turn them into a useless body that can not move or resist!" ”

After the cigarette was smoked, and there was not much time left before departure, the two officers put on the fur gloves specially issued for the cold zone combat - if the Wehrmacht officers and men had been universally equipped with such a configuration in the cold winter of 1941, perhaps the Imperial battle flag would have been planted in Moscow, and then the division would have returned to the west to force Britain to withdraw from the war, but unfortunately all this can only be left to the imagination, and the imperial elite who had survived the war and the Allied trials, such as Manstein, Guderian, and Kesselring, were not trapped in the Allied prisons at this time. In contrast, Lynn was at least able to fight to change their fate.

"Sir, I wish you a victorious flag!" Colonel Bruns saluted and shook Lynn's hand.

During the thrilling trip to the United States, Braz saw Lynn's way of fighting, as a soldier or a junior officer, his fierce style is worthy of recognition, but as a commander, if he always rushes to the front line to command and coordinate troops like Rommel, although he will be admired by the soldiers under his command, it will also make his deputies and staff officers feel extremely headaches.

"Take care!" Braz said to Lynn with a serious face as he shook hands.

"Good!" Lynn replied very briefly, and when the two officers had walked along the passage to the troops already assembled at the back, he looked back at the fjord, where the last of the submarines had already left, and the ripples on the surface of the sea seemed natural and undisturbed. At this time, there was another slight roar in the sky, and according to the custom, the Soviet planes deployed on the side of the border line would always fly in after dawn and before dark, and presumably determine the exact location of their ground forces and sea ships and then give feedback to the command headquarters in the rear. In the past two days, all kinds of clues may have made them feel more and more that this seemingly barren Norwegian territory hides unspeakable secrets, some of which were deliberately arranged by Rommel, and some of which are accidents that are difficult to fully control military operations, but as long as no of their own personnel fall into the hands of the Soviet army, everything will be completely liquidated tonight.

Approaching the appointed time, in the communications terminal located in the cavern on the upper floor of the base, the technical officers seemed to be the busiest group. As one of the core technologies identified and retained in the "Aryan Ark Project", the related technology of radar radio has received a lot of personnel and material investment. According to the lessons of the war, the radio experts of the empire made improvements on the basis of several electrical equipment that had not had time to be put into actual combat, supplemented by relevant technical data and equipment elements obtained by the intelligence department in the post-war period, and successfully developed a large-range detection and early warning radar and a precision fire control radar, and made a breakthrough in the research of airborne radar combined with radio guidance, thus becoming the most significant field of substantive achievements in the imperial scientific research system.

In the control room, which is equipped with large floor-to-ceiling glass, technical experts and officers wearing white coats similar to medical personnel perform their duties, and there are very few people walking back and forth, except for an officer who looks to be less than thirty years old, white and elegant, and wears a pair of gold-rimmed small-rimmed glasses, who is closely monitoring the personnel and equipment.

On the table clock at the front of the control room, the hour hand is very close to the number 7, and the minute hand is just over 50.

"The power supply is stable, the backup motor is started, and the conversion port is connected." An officer sitting in front of various gauges and traffic light buttons reported loudly.

Another bespectacled officer sat in front of two circular monitors, and a meter in front of him sat three officers side by side, each facing a similarly sized instrument with a different exterior and scale marking. The glasses officer turned his head and reported to the young technical general: "The voltage of all components is normal, the east direction is set to a zero degree angle, and the antenna array will rotate clockwise from the zero degree angle after turning on, with a rotation speed of six degrees per second, a full 360-degree turn in one minute, continuous work of 1,080 degrees, the working frequency is set at 120MHz, and the machine will be shut down on time after 3 minutes." ”

Everything was going according to the planned steps, and the countless drills earlier made the young general look confident, and he continued to pace without saying a word, occasionally raising his hand to look at his watch. In the control room diagonally opposite, the team responsible for controlling the radio jamming equipment is working intensively and orderly on the same preparations. Unlike radar technology, which emerged before and after World War II, radio equipment appeared much earlier. The initial radio jamming was very simple, that is, to find the communication frequency used by the enemy and insert all kinds of chaotic signals, so that the other side could not distinguish which was the normal code content and which was deliberately added by the jammer, this traditional method was used until the end of the war in 1945, and even the Soviet army, which was relatively weak in radio technology, had been successfully used on the Eastern Front. With the development of technology, special radio reconnaissance receivers, lateral detectors and jammers have been developed and manufactured, and high-power radio transmitters can fill up specific frequencies in the nearby area, making ordinary radio stations completely unusable for a lasting time and band, thus causing a complete communication blockage.

In a special atmosphere that makes people nervous and slightly excited, the minutes and seconds pass by, and in the sight of the observation post at the top, the early summer sunset has long since sunk into the sea, and the wonderful glow of the sunset heralds the arrival of a clear night. After determining that the plane that had been carrying out routine reconnaissance by the Soviet troops had left, the technical officer in the radar control room pulled down the hand brake, and under the joint drive of two electric motors, the hemispherical camouflage net placed on the top of the communication station gently opened, thus revealing a matrix of strange-looking and hugely large radar antennas on the mountain rock without any barrier. This observatory-like process may seem simple, but it embodies the prudence and ingenuity of these technical elites who boarded the Imperial Ark.

Cold, fresh air poured into the inner cavern through the orifice at the base of the radar, and the young general with gold-rimmed glasses looked at his watch and then looked at the phone near the gate, but it did not ring, which also meant that the order to suspend had not been given. Seeing that the time had come, he ordered in a calm tone: "Activate 'Caesar'!" ”

The start of the radar is not full of mechanical roar like cars, tanks or airplanes, except for a few instruments that make a beeping sound when they are working, and the whole control room is basically free of noise. The young general's eyes immediately fell on the middle-aged technical officer, who was also wearing glasses, and the two circular displays in front of him already had green faint lines.

Based on the lines on the display screen and the auxiliary readings of the instrument, the officer quickly made a judgment: "The Soviet reconnaissance plane was located at 11 degrees east-north, at a distance of 140 kilometers, and flew at an altitude of about 1,000 meters, so there was no threat; Those Soviet ships were located in an area of 12 to 19 degrees north-west and a distance of 30 to 35 kilometers, and the formation was relatively compact. ”

The young general did not immediately come forward to make a detailed observation, nor did he assign a staff to do this and that, he stayed there for a while, and waited until his officers confirmed that the plane was moving away and the ship was basically moving in the second circle of radar, and then he walked to the door, lowered his head and thought for a moment. On the third lap, the technical officers reconfirmed: "Soviet planes are flying in the direction of Murmansk at a speed of about 300 kilometers per hour, at an altitude of about 1,000 meters; The Soviet ships did not move significantly; No other metallic aircraft were found in the 360-kilometer detection airspace; No other ships were found on the surface of the 80-kilometer probed sea. ”

The young general in gold-rimmed glasses finally picked up the phone: "Command, I'm Ralph from the radar station. Hennings, the Soviet reconnaissance plane is returning and is located 140 kilometers away, there are no anomalies in the detection area, and the sketch drawings are sent immediately...... Good! ”

Hanging up the phone, the general ordered in a small voice but very resolutely: "Turn off the radar!" ”

The personnel in the control room here were busy turning off the radar equipment, and the technical officers in the control room were on the contrary. Taking advantage of the previous period of time, they had detected and mastered the communication frequencies used by the Soviet army, and the three high-power jammers were fully activated, and the invisible radio waves blocked the commonly used bands within a radius of more than 100 kilometers in the blink of an eye. At the same time, four radio detectors were also working uninterruptedly, and a high-power jammer was waiting to deal with the situation of Soviet troops communicating with the rear through ultra-short-wave channels. From a purely technical point of view, it only takes 30 seconds to jam the emerging communication frequencies in real time.

As the time of the attack approached infinitely, an astonishing number of underwater attack groups had been assembled near the sea where the Soviet warships were anchored. Looking at the calm sea, it is hard to imagine that there were more than 60 submarines in these waters, and that the number of submarines that eventually participated in the war was more than that. At the outbreak of World War II, there were only 57 submarines in service in the entire German Navy, and most of them were medium and short-range submarines that were not suitable for ocean-going operations. Now the situation is reversed, although the cutting-edge XXIII class small attack submarines are ideal offshore assassins, but 70 percent of the submarines retained in the "Aryan Ark Project" are ocean-going combat submarines with displacement equipped with snorkels and various advanced equipment, which are capable of hunting and killing operations in the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, and the North Atlantic. Although the silent ability of these conventional submarines is not as good as that of the new XXI and XXIII classes, they can carry more attack torpedoes at a time, and under the command of experienced captains, it is not difficult to stealthily approach Soviet ships with lax sonar technology in the way they are good at.
