Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine Icelandic Bombing

The Royal Air Force in Iceland is weak, and too weak to withstand too much loss. When the fourth Meteor jet fighter was shot down by the German bomber formation in the sky, the British fighters had to start to leave the combat airspace. In the face of absolute strength and absolute quantity, the slightly higher quality seemed to be unable to stand the test, and was crushed and collapsed in an instant.
So when the German plane opened the belly bomb bay, the British fighter jets had been completely driven out. There were even very few anti-aircraft guns in the sky, and there was basically no interference.
"Change the original combat plan! Gentlemen!" As soon as the German air force commander saw the great situation in front of him, he immediately decided to temporarily change the combat plan. He felt that it was unforgivable to waste such a good opportunity, so he decisively issued more aggressive combat orders.
The calm middle-aged officer pressed the throat communicator and loudly ordered all aircraft to implement a new combat plan: "All aircraft! Descend to 7,000 meters! We drop bombs at an altitude of 7,000 meters! We drop bombs at an altitude of 7,000 meters! Bomb up! Execute orders!"
For bombers in World War II, the flying height represents the accuracy of bomb dispersion. Every few hundred meters closer to the ground can greatly improve the bombing accuracy. After completely suppressing the enemy, or just flying over the target, the bomber formation often Lower your altitude to ensure that the bombs you drop can accurately destroy the targets to be bombed and destroyed in the mission.
"Declining altitude! Declining altitude! No. 9 is descending altitude! Please keep a distance from nearby aircraft!" Soon, the entire radio was noisy, and the huge fleet began to slowly descend their own flight altitudes, and the Icelandic base was already in the air. These planes are out of sight.
"Drop the bomb!" After a shout ordering to start the attack, all the bombing operators of the plane pressed the bombing button, and there was a slight click sound in the plane, and then everyone could feel the slight tremor of the fuselage, Immediately afterwards, a bomb broke away from the pylon and fell to the ground.
"Start dropping bombs! I've already dropped bombs!" "The bomb has already left the cabin!" It is only wind and luck that bombs destroy the target.
"Hey, look at the ground! Enemy bombers are everywhere!" A bombardier sighed while aiming his sight at the target on the ground, and then skillfully dropped the deadly bomb. The airport he bombed was full of planes waiting for repair and faulty planes that the Allied forces could not take off and escape. These targets have rarely been seen at this stage of the war.
After all, no one wants to expose their airport to the enemy's attack range. Even if there is, they will carefully arrange camouflage to hide valuable aircraft and various materials. But this is not the case in Iceland now. It is like when the Germans suddenly attacked Poland. Most of the planes are still parked in the open, and it is easy to destroy them.
"My God...are they stupid? They didn't even have a little camouflage?" A German pilot was driving his plane while watching the spectacular scene below with only a little angle. This kind of bombing of a military base can still see the building's runway supplies and aircraft, which is really rare...
In fact, the Americans also want to hide their planes, but after some hard work, they found that this is a futile process at all-the British military base in Iceland is too functional, and there are a large area here The houses are still covered with white cloth for winter camouflage, but most of the runways and hangars are just buildings without any camouflage.
Because of the blockade of German submarines and the reduction of investment in Iceland by Britain and the United States, most of the construction here is still in the initial stage of solving whether there is any solution, and no one cares about the messy camouflage effect.
The Germans cautiously canceled air patrols and never attacked Iceland, which also contributed to the British idea that "the Germans will not attack Iceland" in another way. In the end these thoughts clouded everyone's judgment, and the camouflage was replaced with more bomb fuel, which was useless when it came to hiding the plane.
The air defense siren echoed helplessly in the air, and the people on the ground saw the overwhelming planes flying over their heads. They looked at the almost impenetrable formation of planes, and desperately prayed that the coming suffering would pass quickly.
"God! Bless us! You have been on the side of the Germans since the beginning of the war. This is too unfair to us!" A British naval officer who looked up at the German plane sighed. He had never seen so many planes appearing in the same place, and the first time he saw such a spectacular sight was seeing so many enemy planes bombing his base.
"Boom!" Not far away, on a peripheral anti-aircraft artillery position, an aerial bomb exploded next to a big tree, blowing the thick trunk of the big tree to pieces, and huge black smoke rose into the air. , as if announcing his powerful destructive power to the whole world.
Then a second explosion followed, as if rehearsed. Then came the third and fourth, then the fifth and sixth. The sound of these bomb explosions became more and more intensive, and the distance of the explosions became closer and closer to Iceland's airport and other important facilities.
With another loud explosion, an anti-aircraft gun was lifted up by the bomb, thrown into the air, disintegrated and fell. This kind of small-caliber anti-aircraft gun seemed powerless to deal with targets at a distance of 7000. As a result, it was fixed on the fort and could not be moved.
The disaster was far from over, for most of the bombs dropped by the German planes had yet to land, and there were still more bombs waiting to be dropped in the bomb bays of those terrible Butcher bombers. The German army did not only bomb the air base. More than 100 planes flew near the port and dropped bombs as dense as raindrops.
A tragic explosion finally broke out. It was a huge fuel storage base next to the airport. After being hit by a German bomb, a large-scale explosion occurred. The huge combustion raised black smoke that covered the sky and the sun, and it seemed that the whole Iceland was trembling in the explosion.
Before the British could bring up the idea of fighting the fire, another bomb fell on the runway of the airport. After a loud bang, a huge crater was left on the flat runway of the airport. Before the dust raised by the explosion in the crater began to disperse, the second bomb landed not far from the crater, followed by another huge explosion, connecting the two craters together.
The devastating explosions, one after another, the ground control tower of the British Royal Air Force, not long after the explosion started, collapsed to one side in the raging fire. It hit an empty hangar, destroying the tools used to repair the aircraft and a bunch of bombs that had been planted there.
The fire was burning near the bombs, and those bombs were not ignited immediately, but the people around did not have the courage to fight the fire, so they could only let the place be engulfed by the fire, waiting for the bombs to melt and die in the flames. Some ground crews at the base tried to rescue something at the end, carrying gasoline cans or pushing bomb supply carts, looking for something worth saving.
A B-17 was parked on the ground, and not far from it, another plane had been burned by the fire, leaving only the collapsed wing on the ground. However, it was parked there unharmed, as if this huge bombing had nothing to do with it.
Another B-17 bomber not far away was not as lucky as it. This plane was parked there, but was directly hit by a bomb. The huge impact directly shattered the fuselage of the plane, causing the huge thing to break apart, and the entire tail of the plane stood up and flew far away.
Immediately afterwards, a huge explosion lifted the nose of the plane, and pushed the wings to a distance of tens of meters. The sharp wings were like a huge long sword, directly inserted into another B Above the cockpit of the -17 bomber. Fortunately, there seemed to be no one in these planes, so it seemed tragic, but in fact the loss of personnel was not large.
After all, Iceland is a military base. Even if it can't hide so many supplies, it is still possible to hide some soldiers. The soldiers hiding in the underground bunker listened in horror to the continuous explosion sound from outside, and felt the whole island tremble violently.
One after another B-17s on the ground were destroyed by the bombs dropped by the German army. One after another, warehouses full of oil barrels were blown up into flames. They were all blown up beyond recognition.
"Drop the bomb! Continue to drop the bomb!" In the radio of the German aircraft, the sound of coordinated bombing was still in chaos. Even with more experience, it is impossible for such a large bomber fleet to bomb without some unexpected situations.
For example, 10 American fighter jets collided at this time in an attempt to interfere with the German bombing.
