Chapter 998

The weak side is in a passive situation in the war, but the war will not begin because one side is passive On the contrary, as long as there is a weak side, then the war will break out, and the outbreak of no compassion!

The RAF in Iceland is weak, and too weak to withstand too much loss. When the fourth meteor jet was shot down by the German bomber formation above the sky, the British fighters had to start to leave the operational airspace. In front of absolute strength and absolute quantity, the slightly higher quality seems to be unable to stand the test, and it was crushed and collapsed in an instant.

So when the German aircraft opened the belly bomb compartment, the British fighters had been completely expelled, and even the anti-aircraft guns in the sky were very few. Basically, there was no interference.

"Change the original battle plan! Gentlemen As soon as the commander of the German Air Force on the front line saw the good situation, he immediately decided to change his operational plan temporarily. He felt that it was inexcusable to waste such a good opportunity, so he decisively issued a more radical combat order.

The steady middle-aged officer pressed the throat phone and loudly asked all the planes to carry out the new combat plan: "all the planes! Descend to 7000 meters! We're dropping at 7000 meters! We're dropping at 7000 meters! Carry out the order

In World War II, the flying altitude of bombers represents the precision of bomb distribution. Every few hundred meters close to the ground, it can improve the precision of a large section of bombing. After completely suppressing the enemy, or just flying over the target, the bomber formation often lowers its altitude to ensure that the bomb dropped by itself can accurately destroy the target to be bombed in the mission.

"Descent height! Descent height! 9 is descending! Please keep a distance from the nearby planes! " Soon, the whole radio was noisy, and the huge fleet began to slowly descend their flight altitude, and the Icelandic base was already in front of these planes.

"Drop the bomb!" After a loud order to start the attack, all the bomb dropping operators pressed the bomb dropping button, and there was a slight click in the plane. Then everyone could feel the slight shaking of the fuselage, and then a bomb broke off the pylon and landed on the ground.

"Start dropping bombs! I've dropped the bomb“ The bomb is out of the cabin! "“ Bomber 18 starts dropping bombs! "“ Bomber 26 drops There's a lot of noise in the earphone. The German bombers' bombs have left the plane. Now the only thing that can stop these bombs from destroying the target is wind and luck.

"Hey, look at the ground! There are enemy bombers everywhere A bomber sighed as he aimed his sights at the ground and skillfully dropped the deadly bomb. The airfield he bombed was full of planes to be repaired that the allies could not take off and escape, as well as faulty planes. These targets have been rarely seen at this stage of the war.

After all, no one is willing to expose his airport to the enemy's attack range. Even if he does, he will carefully arrange camouflage and hide valuable aircraft and various materials. But this is not the case in Iceland now. It's just like when the Germans suddenly attacked Poland. Most of the planes are still in the open, so it's easy to destroy them.

"My God... Are they stupid? Not even a little disguise? " A German pilot was flying his own plane, looking at the spectacular scenes below from a tiny angle. It's rare to see buildings, runways, supplies and airplanes when bombing military bases

In fact, the Americans also want to hide their planes, but after some efforts, they find that this is a futile process - the British military base in Iceland is too functional, and large areas of houses here are covered with white cloth for camouflage in winter, But most runways and hangars are just buildings without any camouflage.

Because of the blockade of German submarines and the reduction of British and American investment in Iceland, most of the construction here is still in the primary stage of solving the problem. No one cares about the messy camouflage effect.

The Germans cautiously cancelled air patrols and never attacked Iceland. On the other hand, they encouraged the British idea that "the German army will not attack Iceland". In the end, these ideas interfered with everyone's judgment. Camouflage materials were replaced with more bomb fuel, which was useless in hiding the plane.

The air defense alarm echoed helplessly in the air. People on the ground saw the overwhelming number of planes flying over their heads. They looked at the almost airtight aircraft formation and prayed in despair that the coming suffering would pass quickly.

"God! Bless us! You have been on the German side since the beginning of the war, which is unfair to us! " Exclaimed a British naval officer looking up at the German plane. He had never seen so many planes in the same place, and the first time he saw such a spectacular sight was to see so many enemy planes bombing his base.

"Boom!" Not far away, on a peripheral anti-aircraft gun position, an aerial bomb exploded next to a big tree, breaking the strong trunk of the tree to pieces. Huge black smoke rose in the air, as if announcing its powerful destructive power to the whole world.

Then a second explosion followed, as if rehearsed. Next came the third and fourth, followed by the fifth and sixth. These bombs are exploding more and more intensively, and they are exploding closer and closer to Iceland's airport and other important facilities. With another huge explosion, an anti-aircraft gun for air defense was lifted up by the bomb, thrown into midair, disintegrated and then dropped. This kind of small caliber antiaircraft gun can't cope with the target at a distance of 7000. As a result, because it is fixed on the fort, it can't move. As a result, it can't even run, so it is blown up by a slanting shell. The disaster is far from over, because most of the bombs dropped by German planes have not yet landed, and there are still more bombs waiting to be dropped in the bomb cabin of those terrible butcher bombers. The German army did not just bomb the air base. More than 100 planes flew near the port and dropped bombs as dense as raindrops. A terrible explosion finally burst out. It was a huge fuel storage base near the airport. After being hit by a German bomb, there was a large-scale explosion. The huge fire raised black smoke, and it seemed that the whole of Iceland was shaking in the explosion. Before the British mentioned the idea of fighting the fire, another bomb landed on the runway of the airport. After a loud bang, a huge crater was left on the smooth runway. Before the dust from the explosion in the crater began to disperse, the second bomb landed near the crater, followed by another huge explosion, connecting the two craters. One by one, the ground control tower of the Royal Air Force collapsed to one side in the raging fire not long after the explosion. It hit an empty hangar, destroyed the tools used to repair the plane, and a pile of bombs that I don't know who put them there. The fire burned near the bombs, and did not immediately ignite those bombs, but the people around did not have the courage to fight the fire, so they had to let the fire devour them, waiting for the bombs to melt and die in the fire. Some ground crew in the base tried to rescue something at last, carrying a gasoline tank or pushing a bomb supply cart, looking for something worth rescuing. One B-17 was parked on the ground, not far from it, and the other plane had been burned, leaving only the wing that collapsed to the ground. But it was safe and sound parking there, as if this huge bombing had nothing to do with it. Not far away, another B-17 bomber was not as lucky as it was. The plane was still there, but it was directly hit by a bomb. Huge impact directly broke the fuselage of the aircraft, so that the huge object broke off, the whole tail of the aircraft stood up and flew a long distance. Then the huge explosion lifted the nose of the plane and pushed the wing tens of meters away. The sharp wing, like a huge sword, was inserted directly into the cockpit of another B-17 bomber. Fortunately, there seems to be no one in these planes, so it seems tragic, but in fact, the loss of personnel is not big. Iceland, after all, is a military base. Even though it can't hide so many materials, some soldiers can still hide them. The soldiers hiding in the underground bunkers listened in horror to the sound of explosions coming from outside and felt the violent shaking of the whole island. One by one, b-17s on the ground were destroyed by bombs dropped by the German army. One by one, warehouses filled with oil barrels were blown into a sea of fire. The runways were bombed so hollowed out that they could not be used any more, and the facilities that were not easy to build were also blown beyond recognition“ Bomb! Keep dropping bombs Inside the German aircraft's radio, the sound of coordinated bombing was still in a mess. Even with more experience, it is impossible for such a large bomber formation not to have some unexpected situations when bombing. For example, 10 US fighter planes collided at this time in an attempt to interfere with the German bombing.
