"Radar alert destroyers deployed over the sea west of Norway detected a large number of enemy aircraft flying to Norway...... This information has been confirmed by the Navy, and it is clear that the other side is not escorting people to Iceland, but organizing the second bombing of Norway. "On the phone, an officer of the intelligence service issued an alert to the Norwegian Air Defense Command about an enemy attack.

Then he went on to add: "The enemy did not transmit information about the delivery of planes to Iceland by telegram, so we didn't know exactly what they were sending to Iceland." But now it seems that things have become clear, and the other side still wants to bomb Norway and destroy our war potential. ”

"Don't worry! Our planes are ready! The other side will not enter our attack range for at least 20 minutes, which is enough for us to take off the fighter and prepare to intercept it......" The general of the Norwegian Air Defense Command sneered and said to the other party: "But then again, are they crazy? Now that we are allies with Siberia, we are not all dependent on Norway for the continuous supply of iron ore, why are they playing so hard?"

"Whatever they're for! Shoot them down, and don't let them go!" After saying this, the other party hung up the phone. This time the Allied bomber forces poured out of their nests and bombed Norway during the day, which was nothing more than a signal that they wanted to continue the war. President Roosevelt was the last shot in the arm to follow his political allies in the war, as well as several Allied government-in-exile that were on the verge of collapse.

Whether the bombing of Norway was successful or not, presumably the Third Reich would not have made peace with the United States. In this way, the officers who fought persistent would not be liquidated, and the United States would not have the steps to withdraw from the war - the war would go on until the winner was decided.

This was also the last time the United States would use Iceland for an attack: with the Atlantic Fleet being crushed by the German Navy's High Seas Fleet, and Germany taking control of the Atlantic Seas, Iceland would soon be occupied by Germany without incident.

So these bombers, without hesitation, flew to Norway, with a full 110 escort twin-fuselage P-41 fighters, and pounced on Germany's steel-producing Norway in one go. 310 B-17 bomber engines roared, patronizing the airspace of the Third Reich during the day.

This plan was really helpless, although the Allies knew that the daytime bombing would be intercepted by the Germans' absolute numerical superiority, but they really had no way to bomb Norway at night. There are still pro-American locals in Neiying who have been almost purged after the last bombing, and the effect of the night bombing is really not flattering.

On the other hand, night bombing was also intercepted by the terrifying German night fighters, and the formation flight at night was difficult and prone to confusion, which was not conducive to the novice pilots to fly their own planes to complete the mission, and the bombers' own self-defense weapons could not be used...... The combination of so many factors made the Allies feel that it would be more cost-effective to bomb during the day than to fight for losses.

"Uh......h Woo...... "As the air defense sirens sounded in various fighter airfields in Germany and Norway, countless pilots ran to their planes, and they began to launch the prepared planes with the help of ground crews, and the people sitting at the airfields began to sort out their goggles and check their dashboards.

Among the dozens of German air defense fighter airfields, there are several specially classified airfields, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the Luftwaffe General Command, which have an independent radar early warning system and an independent command system. As the sirens echoed over these special airfields, the roar of even louder engines was deafening along with the air raid sirens.

"God forbid! I thought I was going to wait here for the rest of my life. "A German pilot put a leather jacket over his body and secured a pistol on his belt. After putting on the life jacket handed to him by the ground crew and checking his parachute, he jumped into his plane, a ME-239 jet fighter.

The jet fighter was designed to reach a maximum flight speed of more than 850 kilometers per hour, which was an entire era faster than the 600 kilometers fastest flight speed of the Allied aircraft. Although the speed of the British Meteor jet fighter is also very fast, that kind of aircraft is not a qualified practical jet fighter because it is unstable.

Although the German ME-239 fighter is not as fast as expected, it is more reliable and durable. The armament is also more powerful than that of ordinary fighters - another reassuring indicator is the range of this fighter, which is more than one level better than the ME-262 fighter in another time and space, which is known as the defender of airfields: the ME-239 fighter can fly more than 1,600 kilometers, which is a full 600 kilometers more range.

Under German field livery requirements, these German jet fighters were all painted in field camouflage livery, with sky blue camouflage under the belly. The hollow iron cross was used as an air force symbol: in order to avoid accidental damage by friendly forces, two yellow identification strips began to be painted on the wings of all German fighters.

"Viom Bee 15 is ready to take off! I'm going to use a jet fighter to take my first enemy fight! Wingman, don't hold me back. With the headphones on, the jet pilot smiled and experimented with his radio communication equipment.

Soon the wingman pilot's tease came from his headphones: "Okay! I'll follow you, but I don't know if you have the ability to shoot down enemy planes." Before he could return the salute to his wingman, the command to take off came from his headset, so the German pilot took control of his plane, aimed it at the slender runway, and jerked his accelerator lever.

The huge thrust caused the plane to move forward rapidly, and the seemingly slender runway disappeared in front of you in an instant. The German pilots skillfully manipulated the wings and allowed the aircraft to ride the wind. The roar of the engines was much louder than that of propeller aircraft, and the take-off distance of the aircraft was longer than that of the German Ta-152 fighters.

But the result was the unmatched power of the ME-239 after takeoff: faster, more powerful, more bomb-loaded, and better at altitude than all of its rivals.

German planes followed one by one took off, then began to form in the sky near the airfield, and as the air defense alert continued, the planes began to fly to the coastline, and they wanted to shatter the dream of the allied bombers to bomb Norway during the day before they could enter the interior of Norway.

......

"Commander! I suddenly have an ominous premonition, do you think the Germans will take off 500 fighters to deal with us in one go?" The American B-17 pilot sitting in the co-pilot still had a little immaturity on his face, he had just graduated from the aviation school this year, and he was sent here to carry out such a stressful mission.

So this novice pilot will ask the captain around him questions from time to time, and the other party will take the trouble to ask. Almost everyone in the U.S. Army Air Corps knew that Germany had more advanced radars, so it could prepare its own planes and anti-aircraft guns in advance. This is also the main reason why everyone is silent and nervous, because no one wants to die in a foreign country for no reason.

"Sir, we should come at night, so they won't be able to take off so many fighters to intercept us......," the co-pilot was still chattering, and the captain sitting next to him, one of the few pilots who had carried out the last night bombing of Norway, finally couldn't take it anymore.

He was furious and shouted, "Shut up! I'd rather come here during the day, because I don't want to have a night like that again!" There were explosions and screams, but I couldn't see who was firing at me...... If you talk nonsense, I'll throw you out of here!"

The soldier sitting in the navigator's seat raised his head, pressed his headset and shouted to the pilot who had just become angry: "Sir! We are already within the combat radius of the German fighters! Maybe in two minutes, we will be able to see the enemy planes approaching!"

"All planes, all planes! Please pay attention! Pilots keep in formation, all self-defense firepower begins to be prepared, and immediately prepare for battle!" After hearing the navigator's reminder, the commander hurriedly gave the battle order.

The machine gunner, leaning against the fuselage, fastened his seat belt, then tightened the grip of the heavy machine gun of 12.7 mm caliber with one hand, and pulled the bolt on it with the other. After a crisp thud, the bullet was loaded. Not far behind him, a cannon shooter drilled into the gun turret under the belly of the aircraft, and also aimed the gun in the direction where the enemy might attack.

Every plane, the nose of the plane, the belly, the turret on the back of the plane was ready for battle, and everyone waited quietly, waiting for their enemy to appear on the other side of the clouds, no one spoke, only the sound of the wind and the roar of the engines.

"Call the fighter unit, the Germans are very powerful, if you can't stand it, lure them into our range. Rely on our intensive self-defense firepower to destroy those German planes that have the advantage in speed!" The commander arranged his own affairs and radioed a warning to friendly forces.

"We understand! We will do our best to protect you and get you to the bombing site safely!" The American commander who piloted the battle thanked the commander of the bomber unit loudly in his headset: "Cover the formation, and when the Germans are in range, open fire immediately!" Expelle them from our bomber unit. ”
