Chapter 993 Landing Battle (1)
In the early morning of March 10, the European fleet arrived in the sea area more than 100 kilometers away from South Carolina, USA.
Tens of thousands of ships of various types filled the entire sea area, which was spectacular. There were 20 large battleships alone, in addition to 30 large aircraft carriers, 50 light aircraft carriers, and more than 200 escort aircraft carriers; more than 2,000 cruisers, destroyers, and frigates of various types, more than 5,000 landing ships, and more than 5,000 transport ships.
Such a huge fleet that cannot be described made every pilot who took off for patrol sigh from the bottom of their hearts, mocking the Americans for being so arrogant that they even wanted to resist such a terrible military force.
The fleet arrived at the No. 1 combat point. According to the combat plan, 50 A-1 carrier-based attack aircraft and 100 FW-190T carrier-based fighters took off from the three aircraft carriers in the fleet.
When the first carrier-based aircraft took off, the US coastal defense radar discovered it. Looking at the increasing fluctuations on the screen, the radar soldier's calves couldn't stop trembling. It was detected at this distance, it must not be the German high-altitude bomber, but the German carrier-based aircraft! That means the German fleet has arrived 100 kilometers away, and they are about to launch a landing operation!
Fortunately, he was not scared to forget his mission. He stretched out his trembling hand and pressed the button beside him.
Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded over the defense line. The defenders on the position entered the underground air defense fortifications in an orderly manner. Because according to the previous exercises, the first step for the Germans to launch a landing operation must be to send a fleet of aircraft to bomb their defense line. They have no air superiority, let alone strong anti-aircraft firepower (most of the anti-aircraft guns were converted into self-propelled artillery to deal with enemy tanks.), so they can only hide in the underground air defense fortifications to avoid the German bombing, and then return to the ground after the bombing to beat these invading enemies!
"The Germans won't drop that kind of super bomb on us, right? I heard that San Antonio was destroyed by one of their bombs." The soldiers hiding in the air defense fortifications were worried. Although the speed of information dissemination at this time was far less than that of the Internet era in later generations, after so many days, they also heard a lot of official and unofficial news; they learned that San Antonio was really destroyed by one bomb as the German broadcast said. If the Germans dropped this terrible super bomb on their heads, they would be buried alive here? !
"Who knows, but the Germans never dropped that kind of super bomb again. Maybe they made one." This seems to be the only good news.
At this time, a sergeant walked by, heard their whispers, and came over to comfort them. "Don't worry, even if the Germans really drop that kind of bomb, this place can withstand it. Look at how strong this steel bar is." As he said, he patted the steel bar support next to him that was as thick as his arm. "And there are many mines deployed in the sea. The Germans can't land easily. We still have a great chance to stop them."
At this time, in an observation post on the defense line, a corporal and a private first class looked at the huge fleet of planes flying in the distance with some fear. Because the German "thousand-plane bombing" did not bomb here, they had never seen it. At this moment, the fleet of 150 planes was enough to make them tremble with fear.
The fleet flew over their heads, but did not drop bombs. When they were wondering, they saw three more attack planes flying in front of them, circling over the sea less than five kilometers from the coast.
"What are those planes doing?" The two stared at the attack plane with doubts, and the private first class said. "Do you want to report to the battalion commander?"
The corporal shook his head. "Wait a minute and see what they are going to do."
At this time, the pilot of one of the three attack planes was reporting to the flagship. "Zero, Zero. I am the 'courier'. The goods have been delivered to the target. Do you want to drop them immediately?"
The flagship replied. "Drop immediately, pay attention to safety."
"Understood." As the pilot pressed the release button, the bomb weighing nearly one ton hung on the belly of the plane fell down.
The two people in the observation post also saw this scene. "That plane dropped a bomb?!" But they were getting more and more confused. It was the sea, and the bombs could only fall into the sea, killing a few unlucky fish at most, and it was impossible to cause any harm to them. "Let's report it to the battalion commander?" The corporal finally nodded and picked up the phone beside him; the actions of these German soldiers were too weird, and they couldn't understand them at all, so they should report it to the superiors and let them guess.
The American battalion commander who was also in the underground fortification received a call from the observation post and was stunned. "What, a German plane dropped a bomb into the sea? Just one? And with a parachute?" He naturally didn't know what the Germans were doing, so he could only give an order. "Keep observing closely, and report any abnormalities immediately."
In the surprised eyes of the two people in the observation post, the atomic egg with a parachute opened fell into the sea with a plop. The reason for installing a parachute is to prevent the atomic egg from colliding violently with the water surface when falling into the water, causing the detonator to fail. You must know that the impact force of an object falling from a height hitting the water surface is comparable to that of a concrete floor.
The other two attack aircraft were responsible for recording the explosion. "It was 7:33:15 in the morning, and the atomic egg successfully entered the sea." The pilot with special goggles looked at the sea below, thinking that if it didn't explode, it would be troublesome. The entire landing plan would be delayed or even cancelled. After all, if this thing sank to the bottom of the sea, it would be a terrible time bomb, and the fleet would not be close to this sea area to take risks.
"There should be a plan B, right?" Just as the pilot whispered, the calm sea surface below finally moved.
"Zero, Zero! The cargo exploded!" In the pilot's report, a large area of sea water below suddenly turned dark black, as if a large area of oil and oil appeared. But the next second, a layer of white suddenly appeared on the sea surface, and the surrounding sea surface quickly turned white, and then the center of the sea surface suddenly turned into a fog-like cylinder with a diameter of about 200 meters, spraying straight into the sky.
"Oh my God!" As the pilots exclaimed in a series of surprises, the misty water column that didn't seem too big at the beginning was expanding rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, it formed a huge water wall about 3,000 meters high, about 1,000 meters wide, and nearly 200 meters thick. It was like a huge castle appeared out of thin air on the sea.
"Oh my God!" The two people in the observation post were stunned with shock, their brains almost froze, and they even forgot to report to their battalion commander.
