The fourth update will continue in the evening

――――

Several successive huge losses have greatly damaged the Eighth Air Force led by Spatz, and it is still being repaired.

It was not only the B17 that suffered huge losses, but also the pilots, and with such a brutally high mortality rate, many novices who had just graduated from aviation school boarded the plane in this way, without any combat experience at all, and the mortality rate in the war was extremely high.

Everyone here understands that at least until the Eighth Air Force has finished its rest, Lieutenant General Spaatz will probably not dare to send his own team to carry out tasks casually, and if it is not for the fact that there are other air forces that can support it, I am afraid that the intensity of the air raids in the face of Germany will have to slow down again at this moment, giving the Germans a chance to breathe.

The room was once again in a cold place, and Spatz made up his mind not to make a move, in his opinion that such a small airport would not be so bothered, and since the British had the strength to spare, let the British go out.

The commander of the U.S. Air Force was here, and the commander of the British bombers, Harris, went to the front line to inspect, so Spatz didn't speak, and the others didn't have much to decide, and then several young generals tentatively said their thoughts, still wanting to send a team to carry out the bombing plan.

"Why don't you let the Sixth Flying Team go? They have experience in night bombing. ”

"I object, the bombers of the Sixth Flying Group are simply not enough, unless the bombers of other groups are temporarily seconded, the question is that everyone has their own tasks at this time, who is willing to borrow?"

"If you really can't do it, use fighter jets to fill up."

"Fighters? Fighter jets can't carry big bombs, you drive a hundred fighters over and strafe them. Not yet a single aerial bomb has arrived. ”

"I ......."

And just as the conference room was turned into a chicken coop, the door to the conference room was opened.

The crowd who was arguing with each other immediately shut up and stared at the good cough suppressant who had broken into the meeting. The colonel, who had a dead face, strode through the door and walked in, and when he saw the appearance of the other party, some people widened their eyes in surprise, thinking that they had seen it wrong.

"Li Mei? What are you doing here! ”

The first to speak was Lieutenant General Spatz, who was smoking a cigarette and was a little surprised to see the expressionless colonel, because it seemed that he should be commanding the air force in Birmingham at the moment.

"Hello. Mr. Lieutenant General. ”

The colonel named Li Mei saluted like Sparts with an expressionless face, and everyone knew that it was not that he was not interested in Sparts, but that the other party had suffered from frostbite and facial nerve necrosis. So won't laugh.

"There's something that just needs me to come to London, and I'll be back to Birmingham early tomorrow morning, and I've heard there's something new here, so I'll come and take a look."

"Then you're just in time. We are discussing this. Just listen to your opinion. ”

Lieutenant General Spatz waved his hand, and then the guards closed the door of the conference room again, while Li Mei casually found a chair to make it down, glanced at everyone, and faced a major general, the lieutenant general's bosses seemed to be fearless, and asked directly: "Where did you just go?" ”

Everyone here seems to be no stranger to the name Li Mei, and it can even be said that they are very familiar with it. Without pursuing the other party's intentions, the British major general repeated the previous situation to Li Mei. Li Mei pondered expressionlessly after listening.

"I'm in favor of attacking, but I need to find out what the other side is doing, and if you think it's feasible, I can let my troops carry out this mission."

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, people who know a little bit about this cold-faced tiger in front of them all know that this is a guy who advocates violence, and his subordinates are under the jurisdiction of the 350th Bomber Group, which was formed and trained by Li Mei himself, and has established a new bombing system and tactics, and has a very good reputation.

The other party is also a US general, there have been rumors before, this Air Force colonel estimates that it will not take long for the rank to be raised to one level, people who are interested know that Li Mei was only a major in 1941, and now in 1943, the other party has been promoted to colonel, and the major general is also beckoning to him, what secrets are hidden in the other party?

Just like Li Mei's style, Li Mei has looked at the military map, naturally knows the place of the Mossok base, and after thinking about it, he thinks that the bombing is still meaningful, at this moment, Li Mei seems to remember something, turned his head to look at the British major general and asked:

"General, you just said that this is the information obtained by a team infiltrating, so where is this team now? I need more detailed information, the more detailed the better. ”

The British Major General was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to ask this question, he shook his head and said:

"That squad is from your U.S. Army's 107th Infantry Regiment, carrying a wireless telegraph, and according to their report, it seems to have been divided into two teams, one for infiltrating reconnaissance and one for reporting to us. They mentioned in the telegram that the infiltrated team had made an appointment with them to find a way to evacuate at 7 o'clock, and that it would end at 8 o'clock at the latest, which was calculated according to the time of our bombing. ”

"So they haven't come out yet, and only they know what's going on in the base?"

This news made Li Mei frown, and seemed a little displeased.

"That should be the case, I think we can wait a little longer, and if they can safely evacuate by 8 o'clock, they will definitely join up with that telegraph team, and then we will have the details before we decide whether to attack or not. If there is no news, then they may be in trouble, such as being captured or killed, and we can give them an explanation if we attack again. ”

The British Major General's statement won the approval of others, and for now they only knew that there were new German planes at the Mossok base, which did not solve their most concerns, and they could get detailed information about this new aircraft, what advantages and disadvantages there were, and the Allied pilots could target them, which was what they were most concerned about.

Lieutenant General Spatz also agreed with this approach, and said to Li Mei: "War is not an overnight thing, because of our words, the soldiers will risk their death, and we must be worthy of their lives." ”

"Then wait a little longer."

Li Mei was silent for a moment and made a decision.

What happened in London, John, who was in France, didn't know that what he was most concerned about at the moment was how Zhang Yang, who had infiltrated the base, would escape.

"Time is running out."

John looked at his watch anxiously, it was already 7:16, and as time passed, there was still nothing unusual happening in the base, which made him a little worried.

Although at the beginning of the mission, everyone knew that this team was afraid of bad luck, but Zhang Yang and the five still chose to join, and nothing happened at the moment, John wondered if Zhang Yang and the others had been killed.

"God, I hope you can bless your devout believers and don't get caught by the Germans......"

A Christian soldier next to him was silently praying for Zhang Yang's five people, if Zhang Yang and they still did not appear after the subsequent air raids, then their team would have to take advantage of the darkness to evacuate here, and then find a way to evacuate France.

Things in the world were never as they should be, and with their worries, as if God was going to tease them, Johan heard the roar of an airplane, which he was familiar with as a veteran, the German JU-52 transport aircraft "Aunt Junker". He immediately pressed Jerry, who was still observing outside, to the ground and fell down on his stomach.

Soon, a Ju-52 transport plane flew in from the night, and the searchlight on the plane swept past the top of the mountain, and the outline of the plane was faintly visible, and then the plane circled several times above the valley, presumably waiting for the guidance of the people from the base, and then landed on the runway.

"Why are there still planes from the Germans so late?"

John looked at the "Aunt Junker" who had just entered the valley, and was a little suspicious.

He looked at the entrance in the distance with his binoculars, and the two soldiers on duty were still chatting with each other, stamping their feet from time to time, and nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary.

On the other side, Zhang Yang was closing his eyes and recuperating, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and when he opened the door, he found that it was the second lieutenant during the day, and saluted with a snap: "Mr. Major, Dr. Rolf has arrived at the airport, and Colonel Filin invites you and your soldiers to his office." ”

"Okay, we'll be right over."

Zhang Yang nodded.

Waiting for the other party to leave, Zhang Yang immediately woke up Bucky, who was still napping, but the bearded man had been paying attention to the movements around him, and woke up when the second lieutenant knocked on the door, waking up the other two.

"The scientist has arrived, everyone wait and follow me, and be careful not to show the stuffing."

"We know, let's go."

The four of Bucky nodded and followed Zhang Yang to the office.

With the experience of the day, Zhang Yang quickly followed the route to Colonel Film's office, and the four of them were politely stopped outside by the guards, and only Zhang Yang was allowed to enter, Zhang Yang nodded that it was okay, and then entered the office alone.

In the office, Colonel Filmin was chatting with a brown-haired middle-aged white man in a suit, and after seeing Zhang Yang come in, Colonel Filmin immediately got up and introduced to the middle-aged man:

"Dr. Rolf, this is the man who will escort you to Germany next, Major Halst, and he has escorted you all the way to what you wanted."

"Thank you, Major, and I'll leave you with the rest of the matter."

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

The middle-aged man looked slightly blessed and seemed to be very talkative, and took the initiative to reach out and shake Zhang Yang.

Both sides were looking at each other, the middle-aged man obviously knew the costume of the hydra, so he didn't show too much curiosity about Zhang Yang's true face, and Zhang Yang was also looking at each other, this guy who was a little slightly blessed was a physicist who was protected by the Nazis?
