: 0.162s Scan: 0.164sAfter the airport in Greenland could not be used due to winter, the German air raid on North America came to a temporary end.
Because of the lack of a suitable airport as a transit station, the German army did not continue to act after the last bombing of Gotham City!
However, after the Battle of St. Marys, the situation began to change!
The victory of this battle enabled the German and Southern Army to gain a foothold in Florida. The US Army was unable to continue to move south in a short time. Under the leadership of Model, the German Army not only defended Florida, but also advanced a lot. At one point, it was out of Florida and occupied a lot of territory in several other nearby states.
In this way, after the front line moved forward, Florida was very safe as the rear area!
In this case, the German Air Force used Florida as a transit station, and it became a feasible option for the German Air Force to take off from here to bomb the Eagle Sauce mainland!
However, at this time, because the local military factories in Florida had not been established, the weapons, ammunition, fuel and other materials needed for the bombing needed to be transported from the mainland of the Third Reich.
The control of the Atlantic Ocean had not yet been completely obtained, so the Air Force could not launch operations as it pleased. They often needed to spend a lot of time to collect weapons, ammunition and fuel for an air strike.
However, if they only carried out a bombing operation on Washington, the capital of the United States, the German army in Florida could still get these ammunition and fuel!
“Washington City is not large, the population is not large, and there are not many factories here, so our goal is very clear, we just need to focus on bombing these three places!”
The person in charge of carrying out this air raid mission is the newly promoted colonel of the Air Force, Hans Rudel. He joined the Air Force very early and participated in almost all air operations since 1925. He is one of the rising stars of the Air Force bomber squadron.
As in history, after the establishment of the Air Force of the Third Reich, a large number of ace pilots emerged. These pilots have rich combat experience, superb flying skills, and excellent sense of smell and sensitivity. They are born to fight in the air!
Because the advantages of the German Air Force in this time and space are much greater than in history, this makes the performance of these pilots even more amazing.
In the two large-scale air battles on the Western Front, they have achieved very brilliant results. From the outbreak of the war in 1927 to the present, a total of 127 ace pilots have emerged in the German Air Force. Among these pilots, the fewest number of enemy planes shot down was 6, and the most was 39.
Because the German blitzkrieg tactics were too successful, the attacked enemy countries quickly collapsed and were defeated, leaving the Air Force with few opportunities for air combat. The most intense air combat often occurred in the early stages of the war, and once the enemy fighters or pilots were almost exhausted, they basically had no air combat to fight!
This made the number of German ace pilots much smaller than in history, and their record also shrunk a lot. Compared with Erich Hartmann’s horrific record of 352 planes in history, the record of 39 fighter planes created by him is almost completely not in the same league!
However, fighter pilots have fewer opportunities to fight, while pilots have more opportunities to fight. After all
, after the air battle is over, the bombers will continue to carry out bombing missions. As long as the enemy does not give up resistance, they can continue to attack.
The rating of bomber pilots is similar to that of fighter pilots. They are scored based on the number and value of targets destroyed in the mission. The more enemy units destroyed, the higher the merit, and the greater the chance of promotion for accumulated merit!
This is how Rudel came to be, step by step!
Although it was Goering himself who led the mission during the Battle of St. Marys, he was the commander of the Air Force after all. It was no problem for him to lead the team once or twice, but he couldn’t do it every time, right?
If he led the team every time, and if something unexpected happened, the German Air Force would inevitably experience turmoil, and it would be time to re-select the air force. The commander of the army was afraid that it would take a long time!
Therefore, after the Battle of St. Marys, Mainz ordered Goering to return to Europe and handed over the affairs in North America to Rudel.
Florida’s resources are limited and cannot support too many bombers, so this time the German army only used 30 bombers to carry out the mission.
However, because their goals are relatively limited, they do not need to bomb the entire city into ruins like bombing Gotham, so thirty bombers are enough!
They have three main targets for this mission: the White House, the Pentagon and Capitol Hill!
After destroying these three targets, their mission is basically completed.
Of course, this is under ideal circumstances, that is, the enemy is not prepared, everyone stays in the building, and they can kill these people by destroying the building. The most ideal situation!
However, people are alive, not dead. Once the news of the air raid comes, these people in Washington City will definitely move. At that time, destroying these buildings may not achieve the goal, so they need to track them and see if they can get rid of the escaping enemies!
Because there are several possible situations, the German army prepared three different types of weapons this time!
The first type is the thermobaric bomb that has been used in the Battle of St. Marys. Since the Eagle Sauce slandered the Germans that they used poison gas bombs, the Germans let them see what their so-called poison gas bombs are!
The second type is ordinary bombs. There are three specifications of bombs: 500 kg heavy bombs, 250 kg medium bombs and 50 kg small bombs!
Among these three bombs, the 50 kg and 250 kg bombs have strong destructive power on buildings and can be used to bomb buildings.
The 50 kg small bomb can be used to kill enemy troops exposed to open areas. When throwing this bomb, the German army will use a more dense formation to drop bombs to increase the density of bomb landing points, thereby ensuring effective killing of the target!
The last type is an incendiary bomb, which is mainly used to destroy various properties in the city. After the napalm bomb is thrown, it will cause a fire and it is difficult to extinguish. This method is very effective whether it is used to kill people or to destroy the city.
After everything was prepared, the German bombers lined up on the runway of the airport and took off one by one in the manner of an elephant stroll.
This well-organized and spectacular scene attracted the attention of many German immigrants nearby, and the airport was surrounded by a crowd of onlookers!
Watching these huge planes take off one by one and fly towards the northern sky, the immigrants who fled to the south were shocked!
At the same time, they also felt a little gloating.
