Chapter 980 Change the Plan
Time passed little by little. Outside the Wemoker Chemical Plant, the four Norwegian soldiers who arrived earlier had been waiting and watching.
Gliders are silent, which is the beauty of gliders, so they have to keep guiding and risk being discovered at any time.
However, the scheduled time has long passed, but the glider troops have not been waiting for the arrival.
Time continued to move forward, until the east gradually turned white, and Eric frowned and said, "Retreat now!"
Obviously, their own glider unit has encountered an accident. Now that the sky is dawn, the glider unit can no longer arrive. They can only continue to wait.
The most troublesome thing is that their telegraph batteries are dead, how can they get in touch with the rear? Moreover, the frequent sending of reports will make people notice the existence of their squad, which is even more troublesome.
At this time, Stevenson, who was in Greenland, also received news that made him frustrated. The plane that went out did not return!
Although the glider is gone forever, the C-47 transport plane towed in front needs to return, and now, the C-47 has not returned on time, which makes his heart full of uneasy, what happened? Unexpected situation?
The attack of the German night fighter was quite rapid, and the personnel who quickly arrived at the transport plane were shot down before they could send a message to the rear.
They were all very anxious.
Norway, mountains.
A search team, walking hard on the mountain.
After dawn, they received word that two gliders had been destroyed above them, and they needed to search for the wreckage of those two gliders.
When the night fighter intercepted the transport plane, it was on the sea. After the interception was completed, the glider continued to glide and floated over the land. When the German fighter finally shot them down, the standard orientation was obtained.
The mountain is very difficult, and the search has been carried out until sunset. Finally, a search team found a bunch of black things in the mountain pass!
"It's a glider!" Several people were very excited, stepping on the dead branches on the ground and walking towards the col.
The glider was hit by the wing, and immediately, half of the wing was knocked off, and the entire plane lost control and spiraled downward.
Before it fell to the ground, it happened to hang with the big tree, and the whole plane disintegrated when it was wiped.
The wreckage of the plane is scattered in the surrounding area of several hundred meters, and the bodies of several soldiers can be seen. Their eyes are open, showing how scared they are before dying.
"Here, there's a captain!" a search team member shouted. He opened the captain's body and found a briefcase in the back. Inside the briefcase, there were some sundries and a map.
It was already dark.
With the light of the flashlight, they looked at the map and saw this large-scale map, which marked the geographic location near Mount Balun, and at the same time, a red line was drawn on the town of Vymoke!
A small group of Norwegian rebels flew to the town of Vimok in a glider, trying to wreak havoc!
The news was immediately reported to the top.
If it was reported to Reinhardt, then Reinhardt might be keenly aware of the problem, after all, he knew what was worth the attention of the British and Americans in the town of Weymoke.
However, it is impossible to sum up every little thing to Reinhardt. After Germany occupied Western Europe, some riots and reactionaries would break out in many parts of Western Europe, and the local security forces were enough to solve it. .
The same is true now.
This news has been reported to the top of the Norwegian army. After receiving the news, he was ordered to come to Norway, and the German governor Josette Tebowen, who fought side by side with the Norwegian army, immediately drove to Wemmok, bringing a large number of Norwegian troops and The Gestapo, throughout the Vymoke region, started a dragnet search.
After a few days, nothing was found.
"These people came to Vymoke, definitely wanting to sabotage." Yossett said, "It's just, Vymoke Town, what is there for these people to sabotage?"
Hearing his question, the Norwegian officer on the side immediately spoke up: "There is a military factory and a chemical factory in the town of Wemok. They must have come to our military factory to destroy it."
A chemical factory is for civilian use. If it is a pesticide factory or something, it may also be used to manufacture chemical and biological weapons, but such an ordinary chemical factory really cannot make people think of any military value.
In this day and age, few people would know about the dreaded nuclear weapons, much less the heavy water in the chemical plants at Vermok, a prominent moderator in the manufacture of nuclear reactors.
"Well, that seems to be the case." Yossett said, "Then deploy a force here to protect our military factory."
Norway's arms factories are not very valued by Germany. The development of Norway's military enterprises is slow. The arms factories here only produce some standard rifles. Therefore, after repeated searches to no avail, Yosset has no patience.
A guard force was left to protect the military factory, and the rest were withdrawn.
They don't know, they have made an oversight. Just an ordinary military factory is not worth the trouble the Americans and the British go to!
In the entire German occupation area, the Gestapo's power was so strong that the British only got the most accurate news after three days.
"Our transport plane and glider were intercepted by German night fighters." Stevenson listened to his report: "The transport plane and glider have both crashed, and the Germans have launched a search in the Weimok area. , and we also lost contact with the first parachutists."
In the past few years, the development of Germany's military technology has surpassed everyone's imagination. The Germans actually have terrible night fighters, and the interception efficiency is also terrifyingly high.
"That is to say, we want to use transport planes and gliders, which is impossible." Stevenson said frustratedly: "But if we don't use gliders, then we will not be able to get enough explosives, impossible. Destroy the heavy water factory in Vymokk!"
"It seems that we can only lower the combat target." After learning the news, Bingues said: "We can't blow up the entire factory, so we will only destroy 18 of the Vemok Chemical Factory. Stainless steel high-concentration electrolytic cells and heavy water tanks. In this way, the personnel who parachute past, carrying some small packets of explosives are enough. Flying over with small aircraft at ultra-low altitude, their air defense force cannot be found, just like the first time. "
