MacArthur learned that Patton’s ambush troops had been attacked and defeated, he had no choice but to abandon Foxton and retreat.
The German army successfully occupied Foxton!
So far, the main force of the US army heading south has been compressed into a narrow area about 25 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide east of Foxton and north of St. Marys! The total strength of the US army in this position is about 800,000!
And the fate of these 800,000 US troops has been doomed at this moment!
At about seven o’clock in the morning, the German army attacked all fronts in St. Marys and Foxton and launched a fierce attack on the US army. Marshall could not judge the intentions of the German army, so he could only send his troops to the front as much as possible to withstand the enemy’s attack first! As a result, when a large number of US troops rushed to the front line, there were bursts of roars in the air, and bombers covering the sky appeared above their heads!
The US military had seen German bombers before, but those were dive bombers on aircraft carriers. These bombers were small in tonnage and bomb load, and could only carry a little over a ton of bombs at a time, so they were not a big threat to the US military.
But this time, the bombers dispatched by the Germans were not small planes like those. These were heavy bombers like the B-29 strategic bomber!
They were much more threatening than the Stuka dive bombers!
“Ah, this is the bomber that bombed Gotham City!”
The German army bombed Gotham City twice, causing huge damage to Gotham City. At the same time, a large number of photos were taken by local reporters during the bombing!
Through these photos, almost everyone in the United States remembered the appearance of this heavy bomber of the German army.
Therefore, when the American soldiers looked up and saw these B-29 fleets in the sky, they immediately recognized this type of aircraft!
“How did they fly here?”
“Europe is at least 7,000 kilometers away from Florida, right? How could they fly here directly?”
The American soldiers were completely confused and had no idea what was going on!
How did these German planes fly here across the ocean?
Didn’t the military say before that this kind of plane would not threaten them?
Previously, Admiral King, the commander of the Navy, led his troops to Greenland to destroy the local airport. Through this action, Admiral King concluded that although the German B-29 was powerful, it was impossible for this kind of plane to fly directly from Europe to the mainland of Eagle Sauce for bombing. They needed to find a foothold in the Atlantic Ocean to serve as their transit station!
In this way, after obtaining supplies at this transit station, the German planes could threaten the mainland of Eagle Sauce. However, judging from the targets bombed in their several operations, they could fly to the mainland of Eagle Sauce, and it was impossible for them to pose a threat to the hinterland of Eagle Sauce. They could only threaten a few of the eastern coastal areas of Eagle Sauce!
Therefore, the US military used this intelligence to understand the combat radius of the German B-9 strategic bomber. He They believe that the combat radius of the B-29 should be around 2,900-3,100 kilometers, and the maximum flight distance is within 700 kilometers!
To be honest, the US military’s speculation is almost completely consistent, with very small errors, which shows that they have strong professional capabilities, at least in terms of business capabilities! It is precisely because of such accurate inferences that when Marshall and MacArthur led their troops south, the military leaders always believed that the Germans would not send bombers to bomb them!
Although the Germans dispatched some tactical attached bombers and small bombers modified from torpedo planes to cause some harassment to them, the power of these aircraft was limited, and the damage to them was not particularly serious, so the US military did not actually consider the threat of the German air!
However, when a large number of German B-29 strategic bombers arrived above their heads, their previous speculations were all invalid!
“”Oh no, they are targeting us, hurry up and hide!”
Some American generals began to react. The German bombers were flying at a very low altitude, only about two thousand meters, which was much lower than when they bombed Gotham City before!
Moreover, if anyone in the US military had experienced the bombing of Gotham City, they should be able to feel that this time the German Air Force not only lowered its flying altitude, but even its flying speed!
And all this is because the bombs they carry today are different from the usual bombs!
Today they specially carry the German army’s latest secret weapon – thermobaric bombs!
To be precise, it should be aviation thermobaric bombs!
Thermobaric bombs are also called air bombs. This is a bomb made of special air-fuel explosives. After it explodes in the air, it will quickly burn up the air in a large area around it, causing huge damage! The destructive effect of the explosion is secondary. The greatest lethality of this bomb comes from Their burning of the air!
After the explosion, the fuel-air explosive will consume all the surrounding air, causing the oxygen in the explosion area to be exhausted. Without oxygen, even if the enemies in the target area are not directly killed by the explosion, they will die from subsequent hypoxia and suffocation!
What’s even more terrifying is that the huge siphon effect produced during the explosion will even forcibly evacuate the air from the human lungs, causing the person to suffocate instantly, and suffocate to death in less than a minute!
This kind of bomb was originally prepared by the German army for the key decisive battle in the future Soviet-German War, but Mainz did not expect that the Eagle Sauce would stand up and declare war on Hans in advance. The
Eagle Sauce was also one of the main enemies of the Third Reich. In the original plan, after defeating the Russian bear, the Empire would definitely fight the Eagle Sauce, so when the Eagle Sauce stood up at this time, the Empire naturally focused on the Eagle Sauce, which gave the Eagle Sauce the opportunity to feel the taste of the thermobaric bomb first!
“Target found, ready to aim!”
In the air, the observer on the German bomber found the target of the US army on the ground, and immediately began to measure the distance, detecting relevant data such as wind direction, wind speed, air humidity, flight altitude and flight speed.
In the era of lack of precision-guided bombs, it is very difficult to accurately drop bombs on the target during flight!
Therefore, in order to improve the hit rate, observers of bombers in various countries need to be proficient in calculations, be able to quickly calculate according to various data, and then give the most appropriate time to drop bombs.
There is a slight difference in their judgment.
Under the driving force of the bomber’s flight speed of hundreds of kilometers, there may be a deviation of tens of meters or even hundreds of meters!
With such a large deviation, it is almost impossible to destroy the target unless a nuclear bomb is used!
From the beginning of the war to now, the German bombers have grown a lot in more than a year of war. Whether it is the pilots, observers and bombardiers, they are very tacit.
At this time, the pilot has reduced the speed and altitude as much as possible, and the observer calculated the data and calculated the best bombing distance at the first time. The bombardier did not hesitate, and immediately opened the hatch and dropped a 7-ton super-large aviation thermobaric bomb!
