Chapter 981

Last time, when the United States attacked Romania, in order to better coordinate and dispatch large-scale flight formations, it adopted a day bombing mode... しw0. The best reading experience is all at) Although the visual status is good during the day and the escort of fighter jets, the disadvantages are also very obvious. Enemy fighter jets can take off and intercept easily, and the same good vision is easy to command.

Therefore, the United States summarized the fundamental reason for the failure of Romanian air strikes. The most important point is that the German fighter jet troops are too strong and are prone to heavy losses when attacking under the opponent's advantageous environment and are unable to complete the attack plan.

After summarizing the lessons of failure, the US Army Air Force began to focus on training night bombing, trying to use this method to avoid the powerful German fighter jets during the day and complete their bombing mission. This time, the United States felt that the training was mature and decided to use night bombing to reduce losses to achieve the purpose of bombing.

Of course, another reason why the United States and Britain resolutely decided to adopt the night bombing mode was because of the assistance of Norway's underground resistance organizations. These resistance organizations promised that on the night of the operation, they would light torches and point out the target for Allied bombings.

With so many convenient conditions, the US bomber troops naturally chose a relatively safe tactic of night bombing. At least in their perception, fighter jets that take off at night are still legendary weapons and equipment. They firmly believe that even if the Germans had such night fighter jets, the number of equipment would not be too large. As for places like Norway, they would be deployed even less.

...

German, Berlin, Defense Forces Intelligence Headquarters.

After Gascoll saluted the visiting Akado attentively, he reported to the head of state anxiously that the Allied forces might have strengthened the Iceland bomber force: "My head of state, I think we should send reconnaissance aircraft to conduct strategic reconnaissance on Iceland... confirm the military scale of the Allied forces there, and prepare emergency measures as soon as possible."

Akado received a call from Reinhardt a few minutes ago, and also reported to him in an anxious tone about the Allied forces' deployment in Iceland. That's why he rushed to the Defense Forces Intelligence Headquarters so at such a time to listen to Gascoll's opinion.

After all, all this is just speculation from the intelligence department, and no one dares to mobilize the German Air Force forces without authorization because of these false speculations. So everyone thinks that the target of the air strike should be Norway, but they don’t know how to deal with it for a while. The air force is mobilized to spend fuel and transfer. If the Americans notice something that has not continued to act, then who will be responsible for this massive wasteful behavior?

In view of this situation, everyone chose to hand over the decision-making power to the head of state. After all, the great head of state has not made any mistakes in decision-making. God's gift is not a false reputation, but a myth that is truly believed by every German.

"Mobilize all the air force forces that can be mobilized and rush to Norway's airport to stand by! Strengthen the vigilance around all factories, keep Kleister on full alert and arrest any suspicious persons." While taking steps to Gascoll's intelligence analysis hall, Akado issued an order to mobilize the troops: "The air defense forces stationed in Germany can also be transferred!"

"But! My head of state... In that case, there will be loopholes in the defense system over the local area..." An air defense officer following Gascoll whispered.

"I know what you are worried about, and I also know that this will put Berlin in danger... But if the enemy really bombs Berlin, we will be just shocked. If the enemy bombs Norway, what will I use to make up for the loss of steel production capacity?"

You should know that Germany lacks resources. Now the competition between the three armies and the people's livelihood departments for Norwegian iron ore is still fierce. Each department has broken the head for such a little steel capacity distribution, and wants to exchange their wives for iron. At this time, even if the iron ore production is reduced by 10%, it will directly affect the strategic deployment of the German army.

These lack of steel will eventually be directly transferred to all combat troops. They will lose dozens of tanks, dozens of aircraft, one aircraft carrier, and hundreds of thousands of bullets... This is the precursor to losing the war, this is the beginning of all disasters, isn't it?

So Akado would rather take the risk of Berlin running naked, and think that Norway should be armed to the teeth. Now there are not many strategic bombing outposts in the United States. As long as you keep a close eye on Norway, it seems that all German resource points will be safe. At this price, Akado thinks he can afford it and is worth investing in.

"Have the analysis result come out? If the Americans attack, will they adopt the daytime attack or the night bombing?" Akado walked forward and asked Gascoll who was following behind him: "You have the top intelligence analysis experts in Germany here, so you must have a conclusion that you can make a decision, right?"

"Norwegian savagers have been doing a lot of recent activities... We suspect that they have contacted British spies. So there is reason to believe that this US bomber operation will be assisted by Norwegian savagers." Gascoll summarized the intelligence.

"In Romanian air raids, the Americans suffered a great loss during the day bombing, so the Air Defense Command concluded that the possibility of the Americans bombing at night this time was more than 75%, the possibility of the day bombing was no more than 25%, and it was even smaller." Gascoll added to the air defense department officer behind.

Akado nodded, walked to the huge sand table in the center of the intelligence department hall, and looked carefully at the large sea area between Iceland and Norway. The dispatch of the aircraft carrier fleet was of little use, because most of the German carrier-based aircraft were air-cooled W-190s, and their high-altitude combat capabilities were not ideal. It was too late to temporarily replace the liquid-cooled fighter jets, and now the only ones that could be counted on were the land-based fighter troops that had been transferred.

"Appoint Denmark and Germany's local night fighter troops to gather in Norway." Akado only thought for a few seconds before giving the order to move the night fighter troops to Norway at the same time: "How about the fuel reserves over there? Is it enough?"

"The reserves of oil can still be dealt with, mainly because these fighters carry local reserves of fuel after the transition. However, if they want to return, Norway's reserves will be a little tight." The general of the strategic resource department is quite familiar with his own assets. After all, he has to worry about such a bunch of numbers every day.

"Save frugal." After Akado said this word, he issued an even more surprising order: "Let the butcher bombers stationed on the Eastern Front transfer to the British occupied area. Defence is not a solution after all. Since they use Iceland to make trouble for us, we will completely blow Iceland up!"

"My head of state...the strategic reserve of crude oil was already tight two months ago. Is it a waste to use strategic bombers at this time?" People who can discuss such a major combat plan in this hall are military officials who know a lot of internal news. Everyone knows the problem of oil shortage on the front line. Now the head of state actually ordered the use of a strategic bomber unit like a tiger, which shocked everyone.

Akado held his hands on the edge of the huge sand tray and stared at Norway and said, "Both defenses consume more fuel and the dangers they need to bear are greater. We not only lack fuel, but also lack iron ore produced in Norway... Using some fuel to protect the safe production of iron ore is also a cost-effective business in itself..."

Who said that Germany really lacks everything? On one hand, there are shortage of oil resources and on the other hand, there are shortage of iron ore resources. In order to preserve these resources, German generals had to use limited troops to design an almost perfect "battle for protecting resources and origins."

After hearing Akado said this, everyone couldn't help but shut up. Everyone was used to the stable production of Norwegian steel, but forgot what kind of disaster impact it would have on the entire empire once this production was reduced. It was terrifying to have no oil, but it was also terrifying to have no steel.

"Then! If there is no doubt, go and execute it!" Akado said coldly: "Norwegian iron ore production must not be affected!"

"Long live the Head of State Akado Rudolph!" Everyone raised their right hand and responded attentively.

...

"Woo... Woo..." The shrill emergency gathering alarm sounded in the base of the German local air defense forces. Wearing a leather jacket, ground crew members helped the pilots carrying various fragmented equipment to run towards their planes in a hurry. Next to the Ta-152 fighter that had already been fueled, the staff who were equipped with sub-fuel tanks shouted various commands loudly.

"Americans invaded?" a pilot joked at the ground airport commander with a serious face next to him.

"Yes! Mr. Sergeant! Check all the instruments on your plane, you have to fly a long distance to resist the Americans. Stop any of their actions, do you understand?" The officer replied seriously, without any jokes in his tone.

The pilot was stunned, then hurried into the cockpit of his plane. While checking whether the instrument in front of him was working properly, he muttered whisper: "My God, it turns out that it is not an exercise... The 54th is ready! You can take off!"
