German army was already equipped with more than 300 B-29 strategic bombers at this time, so 10 was not the upper limit of their capabilities.
However, considering the carrying capacity of the Greenland airport, Goering was worried that there were too many planes dispatched and the Greenland airport could not bear it.
At that time, refueling and replenishment would take too long, which would not only fail to achieve a positive effect, but would also delay the German air raid.
Therefore, he did not pursue sending the most planes at one time, but planned to see how the first air raid would work!
If the effect of the first air raid was very good, and the climatic conditions of the Greenland airport allowed, he would not hesitate to immediately put the remaining 200 B-29s in his hands into it, and take turns to bomb the Eagle Sauce homeland!
However, after the first batch of B29 bombers took off, no one cared about Goering’s other arrangements anymore. Everyone’s focus was on these 100 strategic bombers!
“From the mainland to Greenland, and then from Greenland to the mainland of the United States, the distance in between is about 7,600 kilometers!”
Two straight lines connect Hans’ mainland and Greenland, and then from Greenland to the mainland of the United States.
These two lines are the flight routes of the German bomber group in the air. This route is quite long. At the flying speed of 500 kilometers per hour of the B-29, it takes at least 15 hours to complete this journey. If the time they stop in Greenland is counted, then this time will be even longer!
“Our plane departed at eight o’clock in the morning and arrived at Greenland at about three o’clock in the afternoon. The pilots will replenish fresh water and food on the island and take a short rest for two hours. After two hours, the ground crew will complete the fuel replenishment and short maintenance of all B-29s and let them set sail again!
Before five o’clock, the B-29 will take off again, and then fly for about eight hours, arriving at the mainland of Eagle Sauce at about one o’clock in the morning!
At this time, the mainland of Eagle Sauce is about nineteen o’clock. The lights of their cities in the eastern coastal areas will become the best ground navigation for our aircraft in the air. This time our bombing targets are mainly concentrated in the financial center of Eagle Sauce, which is also the most prosperous city in the world-Gotham City!”
Goering’s air raid plan was absolutely carefully planned and prepared. From the time of take-off and landing of the aircraft, to the time of arrival in the mainland of Eagle Sauce, and the timing of their bombing of Eagle Sauce, all aspects have been carefully calculated. These calculations will help the German army avoid many adverse effects and help them achieve the greatest results!
“The main industrial areas of the Eagle Sauce are concentrated in the Great Lakes region. Although Gotham City has a large population and a developed financial industry, it is a symbol of the Eagle Sauce’s wealth, but there are not many factories here. Bombing here will have a great impact on the Eagle Sauce’s finances, but it will not have a great impact on their industrial strength!”
Mainz frowned slightly. He understood Goering’s plan. Goering obviously wanted to bomb the city closest to Hans’s homeland and the coastline first, because there was an ocean outside this city. Before the German planes flew here, it would be difficult for the Eagle Sauce to discover it in advance, so bombing here is the safest!
Finally, the industrial areas of the Great Lakes mentioned by Mainz are basically in the inland areas of the Eagle Sauce. To bomb here, the German bombers first need to cross the northeastern coastal areas of Turkey, and when they fly over these areas, the inland Eagle Sauce people may have been warned of the German action!
If they knew this in advance, they might move and arrange anti-aircraft firepower in advance to intercept and ambush, and even Fighters can be dispatched to intercept the German bomber groups in the air in advance!
From Hans’s homeland to the Eagle Sauce’s homeland, even with Greenland as a transit station and refueling station, the German bomber groups cannot be escorted by fighters!
The reason is simple, because the distance is too far. At such a long distance, no fighter in the world can have such a large combat radius.
Without the escort of fighters, it means that the German bombers are almost completely passive when facing the attacks of enemy fighters, and they have no ability to fight back!
Fortunately, the German bombers fly at a very high altitude, generally above 10,000 meters. At this time, there are few aircraft in various countries that can fly to this altitude. Even anti-aircraft guns probably don’t have such a high range!
“If this operation is successful, our Air Force will re-plan the bombing of the inland areas of the Eagle Sauce, but at this time, when the situation is unclear, it is better to be cautious!”
Commander Goering’s words made sense, so Mainz did not say anything else.
He looked at the time. It was already three o’clock in the afternoon. If you calculate the time, the German bombers should have arrived in Greenland!
……
Greenland, as the last B-29 landed smoothly, the ground crew who had been preparing for a long time rushed up to the airport. A large number of tanker trucks began to refuel the aircraft. The pilots were taken to the restaurant with central air conditioning to eat. After eating and replenishing their energy, they could go to the lounge next to them to take a nap.
B-The fuel capacity of the 29 is very terrifying. Their maximum take-off weight is 75 tons. After deducting the weight of the aircraft and the weight of weapons and ammunition, the remaining 25 tons is the weight of fuel.
Each aircraft has 25 tons of aviation kerosene, which adds up to 2,500 tons of fuel. It takes a long time to refuel so much fuel.
Fortunately, the German army was well prepared and it took less than two hours.���We have completed the supply operation!
It gets dark very early in Greenland. It is almost dark before five o’clock!
In order to avoid problems with taking off after dark, the German bomber group decided to set off early. They took off from Greenland at 16:35 in the afternoon and arrived in Eagle Sauce at 19:08 in the morning of the 28th, Berlin time.
At this time, the city of Eagle Sauce has just entered the busiest stage of the day. The whole Gotham City is full of neon lights, and it is a prosperous city that never sleeps!
The citizens of Gotham are fully enjoying the city’s extravagant life, and they don’t realize that the enemy is already on the city, and the god of death is about to come. This prosperous city will become a ruin!
At 19:40, as a German bomber dropped an incendiary bomb and ignited a ship anchored in the port of Gotham City, the air raid on Gotham City was completely kicked off!
Since they were not equipped with radar, the Americans were completely unprepared for the German air raids. It was not until a large number of German bombs landed, explosions continued, and the huge roar of bombers came from the sky that the slow-reacting Americans finally realized what was happening!
The shrill air defense alarm sounded over Gotham City, and the entire city, inside and outside, was filled with people running around like headless flies.
And behind their fleeing figures, the urban area was gradually reduced to a sea of fire!
