Chapter 1724 Aviation interception
The Americans dare not send their navy to come. If the American navy comes, it will definitely be bombarded by Germany. Therefore, the only thing the Americans can intercept is to use their aviation forces.
The last time the Americans were exposed in the Battle of Midway, they also had guided bombs, which were a secret weapon, but the German Navy was definitely not afraid.
It is impossible for their planes to fly into the air above their own aircraft carrier formations. A large number of fighter jets will be intercepted by a hundred nautical miles away from their own formations.
The Americans must have prepared a large number of fighter jets and bombers. Instead of worrying about their attacks at any time, it is better to go there in a big way and lure them over now.
If you arrive near the waters of Greenland, if the opponent's air force does not move, you will take off and blow up the Greenland military base.
There must be many secret aviation bases in nearby Canada. The United States is as cunning as the Soviet Union. Before taking off the fighter plane, they could not find their base at all.
In those known aviation bases, there are only a small number of patrol aircraft, which are not their main force at all.
Canada, Labrador Peninsula. Gus Bay, Newfoundland, 14 kilometers northwest of Hapivalli City, Gusbe Air Force Base.
A few years ago, in accordance with the agreement between the United States and Britain to "replace bases with warships", the US military used 50 old destroyers during World War I to exchange for some important overseas bases in Britain, including Gusbet Air Force Base.
During the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the base here began to be opened, and the runway at the airport was widened enough to take off B-29-level aircraft.
Now, from the outside of this base, there are only a few maritime patrol aircraft, but in the forest not far from the base, a new runway has long been built.
"Hey, Roy, what are you thinking?" Although it was summer at this time, the temperature in the forest was only about ten degrees. Wearing a flight jacket, I just felt that it was not cold.
With his back against a big tree, looking at the white clouds floating above his head, the flight squadron leader Roy heard a voice in his ear.
He turned his head and was his comrade-in-arms, Cross, a new friend he met after changing to f4u.
Cross was very young, just like his former close friend Alcatel. For some reason, Alcatel appeared in front of Roy's eyes.
Roy has always recalled that when he was an instructor in the Soviet Union and was flying a P-39, he suddenly encountered a group of German fighter jets. The terrifying genius pilot, was that Roy?
That move is so familiar.
Who would have thought that his former comrades will meet on the battlefield now?
"Nothing," Roy said.
"The superior information has been dropped, the German fleet has been dispatched. I don't know when our order will come down." Cross said relaxedly, turning his head to look at the fighter plane hidden in the woods.
The f-4u, the most advanced fighter jet like the p-51, can be used as fighter jets, and can also carry two 1,000-pound bombs. If the ground crew starts to mount bombs, it means they should set off.
This will be a tragic war, and I don’t know how many people will die there.
Looking at his own fighter jet, Roy's heart was filled with confidence. In the past, the performance of the p-39 was too backward and he could not fight against the German fighter jets at all. Thinking of that thrilling time, Roy was extremely moved. If he had f4u at that time, it would definitely not be the result.
He believes in his skills.
"Rumbling, rumble." At this moment, the sound of the engine sounded from afar.
A sea reconnaissance plane took off from Gusbet's base and flew towards the sea in the east. It seemed that the German Navy was approaching.
"Cross, your lover will be born in a few days?" Roy asked Cross.
War is a heavy topic. People in peaceful areas can be regarded as a topic after dinner, while those who really enter the war want to talk about life and family.
"A week left," said Cross. "I hope it's a son, my name has been given, I've grown up, and I'm flying the plane like me."
Cross and Roy continued to chat.
Suddenly, the sound of gatherings in the base sounded.
With the sound, both of them stood up and ran quickly towards the pilot preparation room, where there was a small conference room. It seemed that the combat order was about to be issued.
"The German fleet has gathered on the Atlantic Ocean. Our aviation base on Greenland has taken off a maritime patrol plane to detect the specific location of the German fleet, and now we have issued specific combat missions." The flight captain's face was very serious: "The first squadron is responsible for cover, the second squadron and the third squadron, mount bombs and dive attacks, the focus is on the German aircraft carriers, God bless us!"
F4u is a universal fighter that can both seize air supremacy and attack. Now, they are going to attack the German aircraft carrier!
It can be imagined that a large number of German aircraft carriers would rush like a tide. It would take great dangers to attack German aircraft carriers, but they had no choice.
"There may be about ten brother units to act with us. This battle will affect the destiny of our United States. If the Germans occupy Greenland, they will land in Canada at any time and threaten us."
Needless to say, everyone knows that defending the United States must start by defending Greenland.
Although at the White House meeting, the fatal blow was decided when the Germans returned, if the Germans came over with a swagger and there was no interception, which would make the Germans suspicious.
Necessary interception is needed, and the ending of these troops sent out seems to be destined.
Many times, even though they know they are dead, they have to fight. This is their sacred mission. Doolittle, who risked his life to bomb the island country, has become a household name in the United States.
And now, they are all the same. Even though they know that the German aircraft carrier formation is very strong, they must also bomb bravely!
There was some emotional fluctuation on Cross's face, and he seemed to have had a premonition of something, and at the same time, next to him, Roy's expression was very natural.
