Chapter 775: Abnormality

Under the help of Sasuke, a nuclear physicist led by Hahn, the German Army quickly developed a number of strategies to be adopted in the event of a nuclear bomb attack by front-line troops. In addition to the fact that the guys located within two kilometers of the center of the blast will almost certainly go to God, there is a good chance that the people who are a little farther away will survive, and this part of the people is the ones the German military is ready to save. As telegraphs from both sides of the Atlantic exchanged, basic measures such as not looking directly at the source of the explosion in the air, immediately finding cover and lying down in reverse, and fleeing quickly after the shock wave swept through were conveyed to the rank-and-file units by senior officers. The air force and anti-aircraft artillery personnel were also entrusted with the special task of striking the enemy's four-engine heavy bombers with the most fierce head-on blows. After all, given the characteristics of the nuclear bomb itself, the most likely way for the Americans to use it is still airdrop; If it is buried in the wilderness and remotely detonated, its lethality will undoubtedly be reduced by an order of magnitude.

After doing this, the German warplanes began to move again on the North American soil. For the officers and men of its armored forces, this land is simply an excellent stage for them to gallop to their heart's content. According to the aerial photos taken by the reconnaissance aircraft, their combat zones are mainly flat terrain; What makes them even more excited is that the road conditions in the United States are extremely good, compared to those in Germany. Their roads are not only wide and smooth, but also dense and stretching like cobwebs; With 6th gear attached, a Tiger tank weighing more than 50 tons can go at a speed of more than 45km/h!

Although the threat of mines meant that in many cases the German armored units could only carry out an early offensive in the countryside fields, when the subsequent sappers cleared the mine obstacles. These well-established roads could be used as carriers for the follow-up of the German follow-up troops and the transportation of logistical materials. And play an unparalleled important role. Furthermore. The railroad system in the United States was also used by the Germans, and soon became the same amount as road transportation. Obviously, these excellent infrastructures cannot be effectively destroyed by the hastily defeated US military; In fact, in the face of the rapid advance of the German army, a considerable part of the core buildings, including bridges, power stations, and warehouses, were directly abandoned by the American army, which also made the German offensive more smooth.

On June 22, the Germans swept through the southern state of Louisiana in the United States, leaving behind 100 kilometers the super-military red line previously declared by the US government. Its armored clusters are in the crosshairs. Direct access to Guò Alabama threatens the rear of Florida. If you look at the map, you can see that the Florida Peninsula is isolated in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and is the most advanced bridgehead to resist the northward advance of the German army in Cuba; If the back road to the depths of the United States is cut off, all the American troops stationed on the peninsula will become a turtle in the urn. This would be a natural encirclement of up to 150,000 square kilometers, and the Germans occupying the peninsula would be able to shorten their supply lines by at least 1,000 kilometers and wreak havoc on American territory without any qualms.

In the face of this imminent situation, the US military forces had to take drastic measures to stop the advance of the other side. At the insistence of Marshall and others, the uranium bombs, codenamed "Thin Man," were shipped from the Manhattan-area research center to the Charlotte base in North Carolina, where they awaited orders to drop. In order to enable it to give full play to its might, the US Air Force has also made many efforts in the early reconnaissance of the enemy forces and its own technical preparations. According to aerial reconnaissance and reports sent back by defeated troops at the front. German units of about one Panzer Corps were advancing northeast from Alexandria, Louisiana, and were expected to sweep through Jackson, the capital of Mississippi, two days later; In order to race against time. They ignored even the captives who came to their door, and simply told the American soldiers to hand over their weapons and let them go.

"It's up to this unit!" When the reconnaissance information was sent, Marshall, who had already rushed to the front line, gritted his teeth and said. The Germans did not regard their own army as a human being, but they did not have a single force in their hands that could resist their advance; Since October, the only work he, the chief of the army's general staff, can do to the frontline battle situation is to destroy bridges, roads, and other infrastructure along the way, and at the same time evacuate as many troops as completely as possible. Although what he wants to use at the moment is still not a real land combat method, no matter what, he finally has a chance to take revenge on the other party.

In addition, the choice of a nuclear attack on the German army had the advantage of saving the U.S. military the risk of inadvertently injuring its own prisoners of war. To date, more than 500,000 U.S. Army losses have been lost since the start of the war on home, and even considering some of the unlucky people who died without corpses, and a considerable number of cowards who secretly deserted, there were definitely not a few people who were captured by the Germans. If a nuclear attack is rashly launched against a German unit, then it is very likely that this powerful weapon will also affect its own soldiers, and on the contrary, if you choose this kind of high-speed advance armored force, you will have no scruples about this.

The morning light dances, and the morning glow shines. In the Charlotte Air Base, which is located in the strategic rear, it is already a scene of facing a great enemy at this moment. All the unrelated personnel were evicted from the vicinity of the central runway, and professional technicians began to load this special bomb with a waist like a bucket on the belly of a B-17 -- due to time reasons, the United States has not yet developed a B-29 bomber known as a "super air fortress," and the task of launching it can only be completed by this technically mature bomber. Fortunately, since this time the nuclear bomb was dropped on its own country, the total flight distance was only a few hundred kilometers, and the carrying capacity of the B-17 was barely possible. Two hours later, when the forward reconnaissance planes sent the latest information on the target's location and movements, a large number of warplanes, including the bomber carrying the nuclear bomb, flew through the air. The German armoured forces were accompanied by the presence of single-engine fighters with air umbrellas, and the task of these accompanying fighters was to disperse the opposing fighters, thus providing the bombers with the opportunity to successfully drop bombs.

"Why did the Americans come with so many planes?" Looking at the large gray-black figure that appeared in the distance, the leader of the Luftwaffe JG3 squadron, Wilk, couldn't help but say in the communication channel. He was currently conducting combat reconnaissance in the outer area of his army's advance, and this enemy aircraft group, which numbered more than 300 planes, was something he had never seen in any previous battle! Shocked, he hurriedly reported the situation to the rear airfield with a transmitter, and turned to evacuate before the arrival of several planes sent by the other party to hunt him; When your own large forces arrive, you will naturally have a fighting opportunity to increase the number of downs.

Since the advancing panzer was the key core of the German breakthrough, the Luftwaffe undoubtedly did its best to cover their air; Within a quarter of an hour of Wilk's telegram, more than 40 familiar single-engine fighters appeared in his field of vision. When they approached the central target in the midst of the entanglement of enemy fighters, they were all taken aback by the opposing lineup: a large number of four heavy bombardments formed a tight array, and their self-defense fire covered the four colonels in an airtight air; This is not at all the posture and lineup that should be used to carry out battlefield bombing, but it is very similar to the strategic bombing carried out by its own air force against the industrial cities of the United States!

"Are the Americans going to bomb our rear bases?" The German pilots had this thought in their heads. Anyone who sees this scene for the first time will not equate it with tactical support; After all, the most important thing in bombing the land army is accuracy, and the cost performance of using a fighter plane to carry out a low-altitude attack with one bomb is undoubtedly much higher than a saturation attack with four heavy bombs at high altitude. In previous battles, the U.S. Air Force did exactly that. And although the Luftwaffe top brass had already issued an order to strictly guard against the enemy's air-dropped nuclear bombs, due to years of absolute secrecy, the German army had only recently heard about this weapon, and it was almost impossible to think of this unfamiliar field that they had never set foot in before.

With the shrill roar of guns, an air battle soon began. Although the German fighters were generally equipped with two 20-mm guns that were several times more powerful than the heavy machine guns, they were still at a significant disadvantage in a head-on battle with the heavy bombers flying in formation, and failed to stop the enemy's advance. Wilk drove the injured landline to rush out of the opponent's seemingly ubiquitous firepower net, and his back was already wet with cold sweat; However, before he could rejoice in the two steel plate perforations on the side of his cockpit, between the lightning and flint of the tumbling maneuver, Wilk suddenly noticed that a certain plane in the American bomber group seemed to be in a different situation!

With a frustration in his heart, Wilk suddenly pulled back the nose of the plane, and took advantage of his speed advantage to carefully observe the periphery of the opponent's bomber group. Passing through the shadows, he quickly spotted the target's figure in the middle of the U.S. military queue. Compared to the streamlined body of other bombers, a huge hemispherical bulge arched under its belly; From a distance, it looks like a big bird that is difficult to give birth, stuck in the belly by a giant egg and will not fall. Although Wilk didn't know what this meant, one thought became clear in his mind: this abnormal situation was definitely not a good thing, and all he had to do was destroy it from the sky!

"Attention machines, attention machines! One of the enemy bombers in the middle of the group has a convex belly, and the situation is strange, if the conditions allow, please attack it with all your might! Wilk said loudly to his subordinates and colleagues in the channel. (To be continued......)
