1248 Atomic Bomb 5

"Albert, this is the order to drop no more than 3 atomic bombs on and near Newfoundland. It contains the orders of Prime Minister Hitler and me, and I will give it to you now."

When Stettinius took Truman's signed order to Chicago, German Imperial Marshal Hessman said goodbye to Kesseling at Toxson Airport. Kesseling will go to Brest as a special representative of the base camp to assist Marshal Lütjens, but his main mission is to personally grasp the release of the atomic bomb!

Hitler has signed the written proposal for the drop of the atomic bomb submitted by Hessman, which is the document that Hessman has now handed over to Kesselin! In triplicate, it is kept by the Prime Minister's Office, the General Staff of the Defense Forces and Kesselin himself.

According to this document, the Heisenberg Device components and plutonium-239 charges that have been shipped to the Azores will be assembled into three atomic bombs of 20,000 tons. At the same time, three bombers responsible for dropping the atomic bombs have entered the Hero Port Airport on Newfoundland Island.

By the way, although the bomber brigades with numbers 801, 802 and 803 respectively have "brigades", there are only 20 commonly used fighter jets, including 2 me264k long-range bombers responsible for dropping atomic bombs, 2 me264h long-range radar early warning aircraft and 16 He219g long-range escort fighters.

In the operation to drop atomic bombs, one of the two me264ks will carry atomic bombs, while the other carries a radio remote control device to control the "Heisenberg Device" is different from the American atomic bombs in history. The "Heisenberg Device" is actually a remote-controlled missile that can control the landing point by adjusting the tail of the atomic bomb. Although its controllability is not as good as the HS-293 and Fritz-X series bombs, it is much better than ordinary bombs. With this "remote-controlled" atomic bomb, the me264k long-range bomber can drop bombs at a height of more than 10,000 meters, and the possibility of being shot down by the enemy is greatly reduced.

The two me264h long-range radar early warning aircraft will conduct early warning patrols on both sides of the atomic bomb drop aircraft formation to help me264k long-range bombers carrying atomic bombs avoid enemy interceptor groups.

As for the 16 He219g long-range escort fighters, they have a large range of no less than Ju288. Although they cannot provide full escort for the me264 series bombers, with the German-controlled area on the west coast of Consepshin Bay, the He219g taken off from the Azores can use shuttle flight tactics to escort the me264 aircraft formation of atomic bombs.

Not all fighter jets and fighter pilots can perform escort missions for atomic bomber aircraft. Fighters not only require super-large range and excellent high-altitude performance, but also require certain radiation protection capabilities. Pilots have also undergone special training to know how to escape from the nuclear explosion airspace.

Of course, it is impossible for the Germans to just let 16 He219s guard the precious atomic bombs and put them on the plane.

These 16 He219g are me264k personal bodyguards, and are only guarding around me264k bombers responsible for dropping the atomic bomb.

In the further airspace, there will usually be a large number of high-altitude fighters of me262t or TA152 (according to the regulations of the Luftwaffe, the altitude of the dropped atomic bombs should be more than 10,000 meters) responsible for cleaning up enemy aircraft to ensure that most enemy interceptors are blocked outside the 15 kilometers range of the me264k bomber equipped with atomic bombs.

"The target of dropping the atomic bomb is up to you and Lütjens," Hessman told Kesseling next to the gangway of a Folk 42 long-range personnel transport aircraft that can take off at any time. "But the target must be located in or near the waters of Newfoundland. In addition, St. John, the capital of Newfoundland, and other cities with relatively dense peaceful residents cannot be targeted for dropping the atomic bomb."

"I understand, I understand." Keseling smiled and nodded, "Newfoundland is the territory of the British Empire, and the residents above are all British citizens."

This is a politically correct issue. Atomic bombs can be considered for bombing American cities, but bombing British (Canada) cities is not possible, so atomic bombs can only be used as tactical weapons on the battlefield in Newfoundland Island.

Hessman nodded, his voice lowered, and he said, "Albert, there must be an atomic bomb explosion on Newfoundland, at least once, do you understand?"

This requirement is not available in the formal order to Kesseling, but it is a must.

"At least once?" Kesseling looked at Hessman, "Are you going to show it to the Americans?"

"Yes!" Hessman nodded, "The Americans must feel the power of the atomic bomb, which will help the peace negotiations after the Battle of Newfoundland."

In Hessman's plan, the Battle of Newfoundland was the "ultimate battle" of conventional wars. After Newfoundland was captured, Germany had a base for nuclear explosion in New York and Washington. The richest and most prosperous areas in the United States were all under the threat of the German atomic bomb.

With a base in New York and Washington, there is naturally no need to consider driving tanks to Manhattan. In fact, it is impossible to hit! The 200,000 to 300,000 American soldiers and countless tanks and cannons on Newfoundland Island are enough to give the Germans a headache.

If you were about to land on the North American continent and fight land wars in Brunswick or Maine, it would be the endless torrent of American steel to drown the overestimated German Nazis.

So after the Battle of Newfoundland, even if the world war is basically over, peace negotiations are required. Before the peace negotiations officially begin, it is of course necessary for the German army to use atomic bombs on the battlefield to prove their power. The Americans must see the power of the atomic bombs so that they will pay the money obediently!

...

It was already the night of April 26 on the island of Newfoundland when Kesselin boarded the plane and flew to Brest (France), where the headquarters of the Atlantic Front of the European Union, with the order signed by Hessman and Hitler, to fly to Brest (France), where the headquarters of the Atlantic Front of the European Union was located.

During the past day, as both sides were busy mobilizing troops, in addition to the fierce battle in Grace Harbour on the west coast of Concepshun Bay, a miraculous calm appeared on Newfoundland Island.

The German paratroopers who fought fiercely with the US armored forces on the night of the 25th and early morning of the 26th began to shrink after dawn on the 26th, and their troops retreated to the periphery of Grace Harbor and the front line of the Grace Harbor Airport. In addition, on the narrow peninsula north of Grace Harbor, the larger Port of Cabernet, as well as the old Pericen and Basque Islands near the top of the peninsula and and its surrounding areas are also firmly under the control of the German Airborne Forces.

If you look at it from the map, when the night of April 26, 1945, the German army's control area on Newfoundland was two close and almost connected strongholds (the Grace Harbour Defence Zone and the Port Cabernet Defence Zone) and a coastal narrow zone (from the Port Cabernet Defence Zone to the Old Perriken (which is the top of the peninsula terrain). The distance between the Grace Harbour Airport in the southmost part of this German controlled area and the northmost part of the old Perriken is about 60 kilometers. A coastal highway passes through this narrow zone, connecting all the strongholds together.

The reason why we set up such a long snake formation that is not conducive to defense in military terms is not unreasonable blind command, but to facilitate the upcoming landing operations.

Because these more than 60 kilometers of fronts control almost the same long coastline, there are two small ports (Grace Harbor and Port Cabernet), 6 fishing ports, 2 small islands with very important geographical locations (one is Cabernet Island outside Port Cabernet, which is the key to controlling the port; the other is the Basque Island close to the old Pericen), and four airports with not very large size (Grace Harbor, Port Cabernet Airport, Old Pericen Airport and Victoria Airport). The starting point of this long front is Grace Harbor.

At this time, Lieutenant Brandt had not closed his eyes for almost 48 hours. He was so tired that he almost fell down, but he and his twenty-somethings were still supporting the fortifications around the Grace Harbour Airport.

These trenches were not built by Brandt, otherwise even if they were all Germanic Superman, they would be exhausted. The trenches used to guard the airport were excavated and expanded based on the fortifications originally built by the US military and were excavated by the construction machinery abandoned by the Americans. The scale is very large, not only with trenches and trenches surrounding the airport on three sides (the Grace Airport is leaning against a lake), but also many circular artillery fortifications were excavated. These artillery fortifications were built based on the huge craters bombed by the Death missile. They can not only defend against artillery bombings, but also serve as separate defense strongholds. There is a deep traffic trenches between them and the outer trenches.

There are also some smaller craters that have been transformed into vehicles or artillery bunkers, but what makes Lieutenant Brandt feel is that these vehicles and artillery bunkers are built towards the eastern bay, and the vehicles and artillery can be most effectively avoided attacks from the direction of Concepshun Bay during the hiding of the vehicles and artillery...

Are these bunkers used to defend against the US 240mm cannons on Bell Island? It seems that there are only a dozen 240mm cannons there, how many tons of ammunition can be put on? Is it so nervous to use?

With a head of question marks and the exhaustion that was almost about to fall, Brandt met his boss Captain Gunter Billing.
