#1726 Aviation Interception

The Americans did not dare to send their navy here. If the American navy came, it would definitely be bombarded by Germany. Therefore, the only thing the Americans could intercept was to use their aviation.

The last time the Americans were in the Battle of Midway, it was revealed that they also had guided bombs, which were a secret weapon, but the German Navy was definitely not afraid.

It is impossible for their aircraft to fly over their own aircraft carrier formation, and they will be intercepted by a large number of fighter jets within a hundred nautical miles of their own formation.

The Americans must have prepared a large number of fighters and bombers, and instead of worrying about their attack at any time, it is better to pass by now and lure them over.

If they are near the waters of Greenland, if the other party's aviation force has not been dispatched, then their own side will take off and blow up the military base in Greenland.

There must be many secret aviation bases in nearby Canada. Now the United States and the Soviet Union are as cunning as they are, and they can't find their bases at all before taking off fighter planes.

In those known aviation bases, there are only a small number of patrol aircraft, and they are not their main force at all.

Canada, Labrador Peninsula. Goose Bay, Newfoundland, 14 kilometers northwest of Happy Valley, Goose Bay Air Force Base.

A few years ago, according to the "base-for-warship" agreement between the United States and the United Kingdom, the United States exchanged 50 old destroyers from World War I for some important overseas bases in the United Kingdom, including Goose Bay Air Force Base.

The base was opened during the German invasion of the Soviet Union, and the runway on the airfield was widened enough to fly B-29-class aircraft.

Now, from the outside, this base only has a few maritime patrol aircraft, but in the forest not far from the base, a new runway has long been built.

"Hey, Roy, what are you thinking about?" Although it was summer, the temperature in the forest was only about a dozen degrees, and wearing a flight jacket, it just didn't feel cold.

With his back against a big tree and looking at the white clouds floating in the sky above his head, Roy, the captain of the flight squadron, heard a voice in his ear.

When he turned his head, it was his comrade-in-arms, Cross, a new friend he met after changing to F4U.

Cross is very young, just like his former best friend Alcatel. For some reason, Alcatel's appearance appeared in front of Roy's eyes again.

Roy has always been recalling that when he was an instructor in the Soviet Union and piloted the P-39, he suddenly encountered a fleet of German fighter jets. Is that terrible genius pilot Roy?

That action was all too familiar.

Who would have thought that the former comrades in arms would now meet on the battlefield.

"Nothing." Roy said.

"The superior intelligence has come down, and the German fleet has been dispatched. I don't know when our order will come down." Cross said it easily, turning his head to look at the fighter plane under the shadow of the woods.

The F-4U, a state-of-the-art fighter like the P-51, can carry two 1,000-pound bombs in addition to being used as a fighter. If the ground crew starts to hang bombs, it means they should go.

It's going to be a terrible battle, and I don't know how many people will die there.

Looking at his own fighter plane, Roy's heart was full of confidence. In the past, only the P-39 in his hand was too backward in performance and could not compete with the German fighter plane at all. Thinking of that thrilling time, Roy was very emotional. , If there was F4U in hand at that time, it would definitely not be the result.

He believes in his technique.

"Rumble, rumble." At this moment, the sound of the engine sounded in the distance.

A maritime reconnaissance plane took off from the Gusbei base and flew towards the sea to the east. It seemed that the German Navy was approaching.

"Cross, your lover, how many days are you going to give birth?" Roy asked Cross.

War is a heavy topic. People in peaceful areas can use it as a topic after dinner, while those who really enter the war want to talk about life and family.

"There's a week left," Cross said. "I hope it's a son who's already named, grows up, and can fly like me."

Cross and Roy continued to chat.

Suddenly, the voice of the assembly inside the base sounded.

Following the sound, both of them stood up and ran quickly towards the pilot preparation room, where there was a small conference room. It seemed that the combat order was about to be issued.

"The German fleet has already assembled in the Atlantic Ocean. Our aviation base in Greenland has already launched a maritime patrol aircraft to scout the specific location of the German fleet, and now assign specific combat tasks." The face is very serious: "The first squadron, responsible for the cover, the second squadron and the third squadron, mount bombs, dive attack, the focus is on the German aircraft carrier, God bless us!"

The F4U is an all-purpose fighter. It can both seize air supremacy and attack. Now, they are going to attack the German aircraft carrier!

It is conceivable that a large number of German aircraft carriers will come like a tidal wave, and they need to take great risks to attack the German aircraft carriers, but they have no choice.

"There may be ten or so fraternal units that will act with us. This battle is related to the national destiny of our United States. If the Germans occupy Greenland, they will land in Canada at any time and threaten our United States."

Needless to say, everyone knows very well that defending the United States must start with defending Greenland.

Although at the White House meeting, it was decided that the fatal blow was when the Germans returned, and if the Germans swaggered over without any interception, this would only make the Germans suspicious.

Necessary interception is needed, and the troops they are sent out seem to be doomed.

Many times, they knew they were going to die, but they had to fight. This was their sacred mission. Doolittle, who risked his life to bomb the mainland of the island country, has become a household hero in the United States.

And now, they are all the same, knowing that the German aircraft carrier formation is very strong, they also have to bravely bomb!

There were some mood swings on Cross's face. He seemed to have a premonition of something, and at the same time, next to him, Roy's expression was very natural.

Roy has escaped death several times. He believes that the god of luck will always take care of him. He is only full of fighting spirit.
