August 20, 7 pm.

A radio wave from Brest (the port of Brest in France is the location of the EC Atlantic Front Command and the EC Joint Fleet Command) broke the tranquility of the communication center of the "Georgetown Island" Joint Command.

A communication officer on duty picked up the telephone in the telegraph room and directly called the commander's office of the Georgetown Joint Commander.

A few minutes later, General Joseph Kamhuber Air Force, commander of the United Command of Georgetown, who was having dinner, immediately put down his knife and fork and rushed to the Joint Operations Command Center hidden in a dense forest.

Due to the special terrain of the Atlantic battlefield, it is normal for coordinated combat between the navy, army and air force. Therefore, the European Community army has also explored a command system that is very different from that of the European continent in the Atlantic joint combat for more than two years.

Under the Atlantic Front Command, there is currently no very "armed" organization like the Army Group. However, the command agencies at the level of the Army Group Command still exist, namely the European Community Joint Fleet, the European Community Joint Transportation Command, the European Community United Airlines Command, and the European Community Joint Submarine Command.

However, when fighting on the European continent, the commands of each army group were different from the command of the command area and the command of the troops based on the region. The four major army group-level commands of the European Community Joint Fleet, the European Community Joint Transportation Command, the European Community United Airlines Command, and the European Community Joint Submarine Command did not have very clear management areas. They are somewhat similar to the combination of the "army command" and the army group, and the shape is a bit complicated.

In addition to the four major army-level commands, there are many army-level commands under the Atlantic Front Command.

Some of them are under the jurisdiction of the three major army-level commands, such as several command fleets (of which the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th fleets only belong to the EC Combined Fleet, but not the Atlantic Front, and the 1st-5th fleets belong to the two commands at the same time); all submarine combat commands; German 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Air Force, German Naval Air Force 1st Air Force, French Air Force Expeditionary Team, Russian Royal Air Force Expeditionary Team, etc.

There are also some army-level commands that are directly under the Atlantic Front, such as the German Expeditionary Force, the Russian Expeditionary Force, the French Expeditionary Force and the European Community Joint Expeditionary Force, which are gradually arriving at the Port of Beren, which are the army of four armies. Among them, the European Community Joint Expeditionary Force is composed of troops sent by the European Community countries other than Germany, France and Russia (referring to the troops sent by the state, rather than volunteer soldiers participating in the war in their personal names).

In addition, there are some "joint commands" that gather multiple troops such as sea, land, air and other troops, such as the Azores Joint Command, the Iceland-Greenland Joint Command, the Cape Verde Joint Command, etc., and the Georgetown Joint Command is also one of them.

The combat command center located in the South American rainforest Joint Command has been hung with maps, and several large sand tables are also placed, with telephone lines everywhere. There are also many staff members wearing air force, navy, army, naval aviation and marine uniforms marking the map and making buzzing comments.

When General Kamhuber Air Force came in, everyone stopped what was in his hands and stood at the throne to salute him. The general of the aviation force (actually he was also an army officer) gently raised his hand and bowed, then took off his military cap and threw it on the table.

“How is the situation on the front line?”

Naval Air Force Colonel Dietrich Peltz is the chief of staff of Kamhuber. He immediately took over his boss's problem and took a baton to the sand table and introduced: "The American fleet has just been dispatched. It is more than 300 nautical miles away from us. The anti-submarine route is up to 500 nautical miles. It is estimated that it will arrive outside Georgetown in 30-35 hours.

In addition, the Americans have also deployed an astonishing number of shore-based bombers on Trinidad. It is estimated that a large-scale air strike on Georgetown will begin tonight.

According to the orders from the Atlantic Front Command that we just received, the task of our Georgetown Island Command will be to lure the enemy and delay. The US military will successfully land near Georgetown (not Georgetown Island) and engage in fierce battles with us in the inland areas."

Kamhuber frowned and said nothing, but looked over and over at the few models on the sand table symbolizing the military power of the European Community.

Although the Joint Georgetown Island Joint Command is an army-level command directly under the Atlantic Front Command, the troops under this command are very limited. There are only four brigades of the German Army (SS 5th Queen Kira Armored Grenadier Brigade, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Jungle Brigade of the Wehrmacht Army), an anti-aircraft artillery brigade of the Luftwaffe Air Defense, a joint artillery command of the Army artillery and coastal artillery, a joint air command of the Air Force and Navy Aviation Force, an air base, a navy nearshore defense command, an engineering command and a joint logistics command.

The total number of troops was less than 40,000, less than 100 tanks/assault artillery, less than 200 artillery pieces above 100mm, only more than 100 combat aircraft, and more than 30 ships of various types.

If this force is placed on the coastline near Georgetown, it will definitely not be able to withstand the American battleships' bombardment. Therefore, it is certain to shrink to the so-called "Georgetown Fortress", but it cannot be simply reduced, otherwise the Americans will gain a foothold and must have offensive and defense.

At this time, he saw Colonel Coot Johnson, the head of the Navy's Joint Command in Georgetown Island, hurried in, and said, "Cut, the Americans' large fleet in the Port of Spain has moved! How many S boats can you dispatch now?"

"All 16 S boats can be dispatched!" Coot Johnson replied.

The 5th torpedo boat detachment where Colonel Johnson served as commander had only 16 S-boats, all of which were the most advanced S100 torpedo speedboats. Because they received the warning of "decisive battle" in advance, they were fully prepared.

"In addition, the supply ship 'Carl Peters' has now gone to sea and is hiding in the Atlantic Ocean near the Cayenne. In this way, my 16 torpedo speedboats do not have to return to Georgetown to refuel and replenish food after completing the attack, fresh water."

The "Carl Peters" supply ship is a dedicated torpedo speedboat supply ship with a standard displacement of 2,900 tons and a speed of 21 knots. It also has radar and certain self-defense and air defense firepower, and can perform missions at sea alone.

This type of ship is definitely not available in the navies of other countries in the world, because no one except the German navy during the interwar period would consider turning a torpedo speedboat into a weapon that can penetrate deep into the sea. During those years, the German navy was almost crazy about trying to break through. All weapons were designed around break through, and torpedo speedboats were no exception.

However, in the Caribbean-Atlantic tug-of-war, Germany's "break-of-travel torpedo boats" were still very sharp. With the help of the eight "Qingdao" class (Qingdao" class (China. In order to commemorate the glory of the Second Imperial Navy, the German Navy named its torpedo speedboat supply ship No. 1 of its torpedo speedboat supply ship, the 48 S100 boats deployed in Guyana can not only attack invading American destroyers offshore Guyana, but also penetrate deep into the windward and Northwind Islands north of Trinidad to carry out break-of-travel operations, achieving quite satisfactory results.

"Very good," General Kamhuber said, and said as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he raised his head and said to Colonel Johnson and his chief of staff, Colonel Peltz: "We will give Americans a little bit of pain on the beach and offshore of Georgetown, not only to dispatch all the torpedo speedboats, but also to dispatch submarines and planes together!"

Colonel Peltz immediately asked: "Admiral, do you want to request reinforcements from the United Submarine Command and United Airlines Command?"

The Joint Georgetown Island Command has no submarines available and the number of aircraft under its jurisdiction is limited.

“No need to ask for reinforcements from United Airlines Command,” Admiral Kamhuber said, shaking his head, “with our own ju188e-2 torpedo bomber.”

The ju188e-2 is a subsequent model of ju88, and to some extent it is also a simple version of ju288. The most e-2 model is a torpedo bomber, which is used to replace Rome's SM.79 and Germany's own he115.

"Is it... night torpedo bombing?" Colonel Peltz immediately guessed the intention of his superiors. He himself is a shore-based bomber/torpedo aircraft expert. He is proficient in various bombing and lightning strike tactics, including the night torpedo bombing technology that is regarded as one of the killer weapons by the shore-based bombing troops of the German Navy Air Force!

Of course, the German Navy's night torpedo bombing technology was not carried out by the Maoyan skill, but by the excellent radio gearbox and surface search radar combined with the metal comb tactics for attack.
