Chapter 136: A Counterattack from the Hydra!
It turned out that this was not an accidental assassination, but a long-planned plan. ~ Because early the morning after the attack on Phillips, a not-so-good news came from England.
"Yesterday afternoon, the Germans fired more than 130 winged missiles (V1 missiles) at Britain, some of which were intercepted by the Air Force, and some fell into the sea before they reached Britain, and about a dozen fell into London, killing seven people and injuring 13 civilians."
Phillips took a telegram that had just arrived from England and handed it to the officers present with a solemn face.
After the missile was over, a German bombardment unit took advantage of the darkness to cross the English Channel and bomb London. This bombing force was completely wiped out by Allied planes, but the enemy still took advantage of the opportunity to drop some bombs, which also caused a lot of casualties and panic. We have reason to be sure that yesterday's attack and this attack were a new counterattack by Nazi Germany! ”
This news made the faces of everyone present solemn, the victory that had just liberated Paris not long ago made some Allied soldiers get carried away, thinking that the Germans would be repulsed in such a series and finally rush back to their hometown. But the Germans' series of counterattacks, like a few slaps in the face, made everyone recognise the situation in front of them.
Zhang Yang and Carter were also in the office, looking at this information about the bombing of London with some concern. Due to the successive attacks in the previous period, the British mainland is much less likely to be attacked by air raids. That's why the Germans took advantage of it last night. Although the German bomber fleet was quickly wiped out by the Allies, it was obvious that the other side had no intention of returning alive from this operation.
The city of London at the moment. Lights were controlled, electric lights or light sources were forbidden after dark, and all residents were asked to hide in safe places in their homes to prevent further German air raids.
As for the winged missile, it is a bomb developed by Germany specifically for the British mainland and the European Big 6, which is about 7.9 meters long and has a jet engine and a pre-customized guide device. Angled trajectory firing is adopted, and the post-launch guidance device can make the missile fly forward in the general direction.
Since there is no driver, there is no need to worry about not having enough pilots. But in the same way, the accuracy of the missiles decreased, and some missiles, let alone flying to the United Kingdom, fell directly over the English Channel. Very few arrive in the UK. But once the bomb falls into a densely populated area, the damage caused is still very large.
Historically, Germany began to use this missile around June 1944, which was similar to Zhang Yang's experience in this world, but the Allies did not pay much attention to it at first. It was not until the 6th day of Normandy a while ago that the German anti-aircraft artillery regiment remaining in France fired thousands of V1 missiles at the British, causing a lot of casualties, which was taken seriously by the Allies. And last night London was attacked. Among them is the participation of this V1 missile.
"Not long ago, I received a message. The Soviet side was also attacked by missiles last night, and two bomber convoys also tried to enter Soviet airspace, but they were spotted by Soviet planes on patrol, and the Soviet Union was saved from a catastrophe. ”
Phillips glanced at everyone present, his hand fixed on the military map on the wall, and below his finger was Paris.
The present were all middle and senior officers of the 1O7 Infantry Brigade, and in response to the information they had just received, it was concluded that the Germans were trying to set off a new round of strong counterattack after successive defeats. Yesterday's events proved this point, and Phillips learned from the experience, informing the commander of another panzer division to raise the alert level in Paris by one level, and immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with Nazi Germany's counterattack.
Due to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Steve, the main enemy of the 1O7 Infantry Brigade is Hydra, while the other U.S. armored division stationed in Paris is responsible for the outer defense line and combat affairs of Paris, and the main enemy is the Nazi German army that is unwilling to retreat.
Originally, after the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D., Zhang Yang, Phillips and others discussed together, preparing to officially launch the extermination operation against Hydra in the near future, eradicating all the Hydra troops who knew the situation, and resolutely not giving the other party the possibility of escaping. However, what no one expected was that while they were preparing to exterminate Hydra, Germany and Hydra were also brewing a series of counterattacks, starting with the incident of Bucky's sacrifice, indicating that Hydra's counterattack had begun.
If it weren't for the fact that Realization learned about the Roaring Commando, how would Dr. Zola have arranged this operation against Steve?
Under such circumstances, Phillips and Zhang Yang decided to attack Hydra in advance. In the afternoon of the same day, Steve finally returned to Paris with the Roaring Commandos, and Dr. Zola, who was caught, had been sent directly to the British mainland by Allied planes, and was sent directly to the United States after an overnight interrogation, without giving Hydra the slightest chance to rescue him.
The interrogation was handled by the S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel who remained in the UK and Perez, who returned with them, and Dr. Zola was probably wise enough to protect himself, and he was surprisingly cooperative with the interrogation of the Allied forces. It didn't take much effort for Perez to get the news about the Red Skull out of the other man's mouth. It's just that this news shocked everyone.
"According to Dr. Zola's information, Red Skull Schmidt has successfully developed a special bomb with a large yield, which uses the same energy source as those new blue weapons (Rubik's Cube weapons), even in a big city like New York, it only needs one to destroy a third of the land, and the main killing is a living creature, which does not have much impact on rigid objects such as buildings."
As soon as this news reached Zhang Yang's hands, Zhang Yang handed it over to Phillips.
"Large-yield bombs, how many such bombs?"
"There are more than a dozen of them, and they will be distributed in two times."
With a newly built telephone line in Guò, Phillips contacted Perez in England in Paris.
"With only a dozen of them, our planes can shoot them down into the sea before they enter US airspace." Phillips asked rhetorically.
Perez on the other end of the phone smiled wryly, and then said an even more shocking truth.
"Major General, I thought so at first. However, I also learned later that the Red Skull had developed a jet bomber that was even more advanced than the ME262, this new bomber was called the HO-229, codenamed "Wings of Victory," which could evade most of our coastal radars and air defenses, and before our planes could catch up, it could drop these terrible bombs, and then turn around and return. ”
"If you let this kind of plane cross the Atlantic and reach the United States, it will only take an hour for Schmidt (Red Skull) to destroy the entire East Coast!"
Zhang Yang, who was standing next to him, knew about the appearance of this plane in the movie, and he also learned from the colonel of the German Mossok Air Base that Baron Straker had also obtained all the design materials and drawings of this aircraft, and had already started the secret construction work, but he was still surprised.
Sure enough, Perez's next sentence made Phillips also raise eyebrows.
According to Dr. Zola, Hydra, or Germany as a whole, only two Ho229s were built, both of which were in the hands of Hydra, and one was owned by Schmidt and Baron Straker. And the reason why the attack was divided into two batches was because in addition to Schmidtmin's big bomb on the plane, there was also another bacteriological bomb of Baron Ming, which was also developed for living beings, and the end was probably not much better than Schmidt's bomb......"
These two pieces of news, in themselves, were like a big bomb, shaking Phillips a lot. After a while, he came back to his senses and questioned: "Why don't our allies know anything about these two advanced aircraft?" ”
"That's because, apart from the Hydra, even Hitler didn't know that these two planes had been secretly built! Dr. Zola said that Schmidt had gone mad, that he regarded himself as a god, and that a god would never allow failure, and certainly would not condescend to Hitler's men. So this operation is both a declaration of war against us and a betrayal of Hitler! ”
Perez had already inquired about all the useful information, and Phillips was silent for a long time after hearing the news before he spoke: "Originally, our people still wishfully believed that Hydra was just an elite unit in the hands of Hitler, but they didn't expect that this unit was intended to betray from the beginning!" ”
Zhang Yang waited for his decision, and after digesting the news, Phillips convened an emergency meeting again to advance the offensive plan that was originally planned to start the day after tomorrow and prepare to start tomorrow.
Due to the urgency of the matter and the fact that the scope involved was too large, Phillips personally informed the US Sixth Army of this matter, and the Sixth Army was naturally also in a state of flux, and the sudden appearance of two mysterious bombers made most of the existing air defense means of the Allied and US forces useless, and the earthquake caused by it was naturally huge.
It didn't take long for an order from the 6th Army to reach the hands of every officer of the 1o7 Infantry Brigade, and all the words had only one meaning. That is, at any cost, it is necessary to stop the bomberization of Hydra, even if it is to wipe out the entire 1o7 infantry brigade, this mission must be completed! (To be continued!)
