Chapter 25: On the eve of the bombing

Colonel Filmin is obviously not very optimistic about the current situation, as the battlefield situation gradually becomes clearer, under the double pressure of the Soviet Union and Britain and the United States, the German army can be said to be under great pressure. After continuing to talk for a while, Zhang Yang chose to take his leave temporarily, but Colonel Filmin did not stop them, and sent someone to take them to a rest room, and after taking them to the back, the German corporal saluted and left, without any further words.

After locking the doors and windows, the bearded lieutenant listened carefully behind the door for a moment to make sure that no one else was eavesdropping outside, and then made a gesture of security to the crowd.

"One qiē safe."

After confirming that it was safe, the others relaxed, and one by one they were busy moving their bodies, and they stood in a military posture in Feilin's office for a long time, and their legs were already sore.

"Zhang Yang, what have you gained?" The bearded man asked in a low voice as he moved his wrist, and the eyes of the others also looked at Zhang Yang.

"Our guess is correct, there is indeed a new German jet in this base, and in two months, the German army will be officially equipped with this aircraft, and now the final commissioning and modification is underway." Zhang Yang said one of the issues that everyone was most concerned about.

"Can you be sure? Could it be that the officer is deceiving us? ”

Zhang Yang glanced at the unfamiliar allied soldier: "According to my observation, the Germans should not have discovered our identity, and the news is 90% likely to be true, but you are right, seeing is believing, and I will find a way to see if I can get in in for a while." ”

The soldier made an apologetic gesture, and Zhang Yang knew he wasn't trying to embarrass him. Didn't say much.

"In addition to this, I also learned some other news, the Germans have formed a flying group consisting entirely of ME262. The instructor was none other than the German lieutenant in Novotni who shot down 250 of our planes. ”

"Novotny? I know his name, one of the ace pilots of the German army. ”

Novotny is still very famous, and the four people present all said that they had heard of it, and it is well known that the air force is very suppressive of the army, and it can kill more than 200 Allied planes in a row, so such an enemy will naturally not be far behind.

Obviously, Zhang Yang's news made everyone overjoyed. The purpose of their trip can be said to have been half achieved, and they only need to confirm it in the next time, and then they can find a way to evacuate.

"I asked Frank. It took about half an hour from the time they sent the telegram and then passed through other transit points to reach London, and the straight-line distance from London to Dunkirk was about 230 kilometers. At the speed of our Air Force. It takes about an hour to get here from London. ”

"It's 4:07 p.m."

Zhang Yang looked at his watch: "According to the previous agreement, we still have three hours to confirm, after seven o'clock we have to find a way to evacuate, at the latest is eight o'clock in the evening, if the allies are not stopped halfway, this place will be bombed after eight o'clock, we must find a way to leave before that." ”

This was agreed in advance, and Zhang Yang's party was separated from the other team. The five Zhang Yang were responsible for obtaining information, while the rest of the team was hiding outside. so that when the time comes, it will be answered. At the same time, the telegraph and telegraph operator of the squad also remained outside.

According to the agreement, if they successfully infiltrated the base, once they found that there was no shadow or news of ME262 in the base, they would immediately find a way to notify the personnel outside that someone was watching here with a telescope. And if it is confirmed that there is me262 storage zài in the base, they do not need any notice, if at seven o'clock, the people outside do not receive any news, then it means that there are two possibilities, either they are captured after being discovered, or they are killed, or there is a me262 storage zài inside.

In either case, if no one outside received the news at seven o'clock, a telegram would be sent to London to tell the Allied bombing formations to carry out a night air raid on the base as originally planned.

The night bombing plan had been planned before, and the Allies had been secretly preparing for it, as soon as they received information from the front, they could take off as soon as they confirmed the bombing targets, and there were several teams like the bearded lieutenant, and the mission targets were several German airfields.

After calculating the call time and flight time, Zhang Yang still had four hours to carry out follow-up reconnaissance and evacuation, and once they had not evacuated by 8 o'clock in the evening, they could only meet the bombardment of their own people. It was pitch black at night, and the Allied pilots couldn't tell which of their own people were in the huge base, so they could only bomb in one go. So they had to evacuate by 8 o'clock.

Of course, 8 o'clock is not an accurate number, and it may be a little later if it is intercepted by German troops on the way, or if the weather conditions are not good, but 8 o'clock is a relatively safe time.

"Understand, it's already dark here at eight o'clock, and generally speaking, if we carry out a night attack, we have a greater advantage, not to mention that we are taking the initiative this time?"

The bearded lieutenant answered, apparently confident in the air raid.

Zhang Yang understood where his confidence came from, in 1940-1945, the British and American forces carried out a five-year, four-stage bombing of Germany, especially the third stage, the incident from February 1944 to June 1944, the most effective effect, and Germany also frequently counterattacked, the German army was mainly concentrated in the daytime, while the British and American Allied pilots concentrated at night. At this time, there was no satellite navigation, so the difficulty of night raids was relatively high, and it was necessary to rely on gyroscopes and manual methods to confirm the course and bombing sites.

In this respect, the Allies had a little more experience than the Germans.

"Let's hope so, but let's think about how to leave. Before I do that, I would like to say a few words about the task of this identity that I have inquired about. That is, in three hours, at about seven o'clock, there will be a plane from Paris landing here, and the original owner of my identity has the mission goal of sending a Nazi physicist to Germany to each other, and the two boxes that we have just escorted are what the physicist needs by name. ”

"Escorting a physicist?" Bucky was visibly confused.

Zhang Yang briefly explained the previous Tanhua with Colonel Film, but did not mention anything about HO229, only mentioning that the Nazi officer had secretly taken refuge in Hydra.

"For the Nazis to bother so much, apparently this physicist is important to them, should we kill him?" Bucky made a throat-slitting gesture that everyone understood.

It is uncertain whether the scientist joined the Nazis and will act on the spot. You know, a scientist is worth a lot more than we do, and if we manage to capture this guy in London, I think the top of the table will be more satisfied, and he will be able to continue to contribute to us. ”

"Captive?"

Bucky blinked, then understood what Zhang Yang thought, and his eyes lit up.

"You're right, we should take this guy back to the United States as much as possible!"

Zhang Yang smiled, he didn't completely deny Bucky's meaning. After the end of World War II, the United States and European countries snatched out German scientists, which accumulated a solid technical reserve for the world's first power.

It is obvious to all that Germany had a very developed scientific research capacity during World War II, and without these scientists, there would be no United States.

Zhang Yang, who is familiar with these situations, knows very well that it is better to capture this scientist alive and return to the Allies, presumably the Americans are very happy to get such a high-end talent, as for the means to get him to cooperate, the United States simply does not have too many means in this regard.

"I agree with that, too."

The bearded lieutenant nodded, as an officer, he naturally knew better the importance of being a scientist. It's just that he was quick to raise his own questions.

"The base is heavily guarded, and the only exit is heavily guarded, so even if we want to capture the scientist, how are we going to get out?"

"Uh, this ......"

Bucky scratched his head, there was nothing he could do for a moment, the big bombardier and the allied looked at each other, and couldn't come up with any ideas. The bearded man looked at Zhang Yang, who was thinking about something.

"Publicity? What are your thoughts? ”

To be honest, the bearded lieutenant felt that it was unlikely that he would leave alive this time, and had already prepared for sacrifice before coming. The reason is very simple, even if each of the five of them has a submachine gun, I am afraid it will be difficult to break out of this base, and it is very likely that they will be captured or killed.

The Germans may not have treated the prisoners so badly, but the bearded man thought of the identity of his party and his party, maybe the Germans would give their own people to Hydra to be used as living materials?

"It's worse than death." The bearded lieutenant couldn't help but shudder.

The possibility of escape is not impossible, the bearded man once thought about snatching a plane and leaving, but no one in his party will fly a plane, and even if it takes off, the anti-aircraft guns and fighters in the base will follow, and it will be a dead end at that time.

So the beard's last plan was to find a way to create an explosion in the base before being discovered by the Germans, and blow up as many planes as possible, which was the last contribution he could make. It's just five of them, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave.

Everyone actually knew this, but they still chose to join, which made the bearded man feel a little moved. It's just that this idea of ending up together has changed a little just now, because the bearded lieutenant vaguely found the possibility of a second escape.
