Chapter 980

"Norway! The Americans want to bomb Norway's iron ore factories! " The German air defense authority who just spoke clapped his hands and came to his conclusion: "only bombing Norway is worth their huge air power! Only bombing Norway can interfere with our local production! "“ Bombing! Bombing Norway is our only option now. Britain's infrastructure is relatively perfect. Our bombing of Germany is bound to pass by, which is easy to be detected by the German radar deployed there. " A British official looked at the B17 bombers landing on the Icelandic airport one after another with pride: "we have worked hard for today for a long time." Britain insisted on staying in Iceland, and its original plan was to save the last glimmer of hope for bombing Europe. Now the production of B17 bombers in the United States has finally met the front-line demand, and has finally accumulated nearly 300 aircraft in the mainland. This makes the Icelandic air base have a certain strategic value. On the other hand, it will take time for Britain to build Iceland. After a whole year of tug of war with German submarines, the slowly built Icelandic air base has finally become a usable base. Therefore, the United States and Britain immediately put forward this plan and began to implement it. The last reason why the U.S. military started to implement this plan now is that during the Romanian air defense war, Germany proved that its fighter planes had the ability to tear up the defense of allied bombers - so all the b-17s produced had to be modified, equipped with more powerful firepower and more advanced air force engines. The Americans hope to use higher flight altitude, better firepower defense, and faster flight speed to evade the ta-152 fighter equipped by the German army, and suppress its 30 mm caliber machine gun. To this end, the newly produced b-17s are equipped with thicker steel plates and larger caliber machine guns - which seriously affects the B-17's missile carrying capacity and some loss of range. This time, the Americans feel that their preparations are safe. After all, they have concentrated such a huge amount of air power. It is another covert surprise operation. It can be said that they are determined to achieve certain results in the first battle. All pilots have been carefully selected and trained to cope with the threat of German fighters“ According to the news brought back by the Norwegian spies, the Germans have only a few fighter forces in Norway, with about 100 fighters. They can't afford to consume them, and they can't stop us from bombing our targets in time. " A U.S. military official looked at a series of B-17 bombers on the ground and boasted to the British military officials nearby: "now the only problem is, once we start the bombing of Norway, how to ensure the safety of the Icelandic base..." "we have the most advanced meteor fighters in the world, More than 20... And 20 hurricane fighters and 31 P-40 Rolls Royce improvements. " The commander-in-chief of the British air force base and the current commander-in-chief of the British government in exile in Iceland? "Since the meteor appeared, there has been no German plane here," said dowdin“ That's good! We'll take off in a few hours and attack the Norwegian iron ore factory at night! " "God bless America!" the American official said with his back to his hand“ God bless the British Empire Sue? At the same time, daoding began to pray. Now all he could do was pray.
