Chapter 631 The Arrow That Changes History(1/2)
In the dark night sky, a thousand German Gotha 2 bombers roared by, and the African indigenous people who did not know the truth walked out of their shacks and looked up at the sky.
The black chief, who was covered in bird feathers, immediately began to pray, hoping that the gods would bless him and not let these huge locusts roam around his tribe.
“Where have we been?”
In the cockpit of the pilot plane, Silame suddenly opened his eyes and asked.
"Report to the sir, we may have reached the sky above Côte d'Ivoire in half an hour to enter the German Southwest African colony."
“Côte d’Ivoire!”
Silame retelled the name softly, looking down, it was pitch black, with occasional sporadic light, indicating that it was still a backward primitive area.
The captain felt that Silem was not very clear about the matter in Côte d'Ivoire, so he took the initiative to talk.
"Sir, Côte d'Ivoire was the sphere of influence of the French Empire, but after France was defeated by us, it should theoretically belong to the imperial colony. Unfortunately, the Chinese Empire forcibly classified as their sphere of influence."
Silame snorted coldly and said, "The Chinese Empire can't jump around in Africa for a few days. After today, let them understand that the great German Empire is the real overlord of the earth."
The captain asked excitedly: "Sir, this thousand tons of air fried eggs should be able to razor Roberts Port of the Chinese Empire to the ground!"
"That's a must!" Shimla smiled proudly: "After tonight, Roberts Port will become a sea of fire, and all the 100,000 Chinese Empire's Divine Army will be cremated!"
Both of them couldn't stand the loneliness, so they started chatting, and soon half an hour passed.
At this time, the German bomber group had actually flew into the German Southwest African colony, but the captain was not sure if it was dark.
"Sir, count the time, we should have entered northern Liberia. Why haven't we seen the ground guidance signal yet?"
"Maybe it hasn't arrived yet. Keep the southwest direction. Even if we don't have ground guidance, we can find Port Roberts even if we fly directly to the coastline."
Silame said calmly, but he was also puzzled, but he also understood that the map of this era was very inaccurate, and maybe he had not arrived at the scheduled reception location.
"Sir, there is an indication signal over there!"
The captain looked around and finally made him discover it.
It was an indicator light composed of hundreds of braziers. Looking down from a high altitude at night, you can clearly see that it was a huge arrow sign.
According to the prior agreement, Hitler would send the Gestapo to guide the fire signal on the ground to ensure that the German bomber group could successfully find the Port of Roberts stationed by the Imperial Chinese Army, thereby carrying out effective bombing.
The reason for ground guidance was mainly because Hitler himself understood that this kind of night air raid would be too difficult to test bomber pilots. Without satellite navigation and accurate maps matching each other, night flight is easy to go in the wrong direction, because the earth is rotating at all times, the azimuth of ground targets and aircraft routes is constantly changing, and without precision instrument calculations and satellite navigation repositioning, the aircraft often deviates from the route, but the pilots on the aircraft do not feel that they have deviated from the route at all.
Hitler ordered the Gestapo to set up guidance lights in northern Liberia. The direction of the guidance was directly facing the Roberts Port. As long as the German bomber group saw the guidance light, they could correct the route and continue to fly along the direction of the guidance light, and they could correctly reach the sky above Roberts Port.
It can be said that Hitler had been planning tonight's air strike for several years, and almost every detail was plotted by him. In the end, he was waiting to severely damage the 100,000 Chinese Empire troops in Roberts Port.
Imagine that if a thousand tons of specially made air fried eggs drop from over Roberts Port, the cliff will destroy the entire Roberts Port, including the city civilians inside and the 100,000 soldiers of the Chinese Empire Shence Army in the base, will be buried in the fire.
As soon as China and Germany started the war, they gave the Chinese Empire a heavy blow and slapped it hard in the face. This would be a good opportunity for the German Empire to revitalize the glory of a great power and a good opportunity for Hitler to greatly enhance his personal prestige.
At this moment, in the German bomber group, the captains of each air wing saw the flames below and the direction pointed by the arrows.
"Sir, this direction is different from the route we had before! It's about 5 degrees apart! Could it be that the people on the ground make a mistake?"
The captain looked puzzled, so he asked Silame.
Silame looked at the course of the bomber group and the mechanical aerial quarter-point instrument in his hand, and then looked at the direction guided by the ground. The difference between the middle was nearly five degrees.
“The deviation is a bit big!”
But soon Silem remembered Hitler's words and the conversation between the German experts beside him at that time.
"The Gestapo, led by the head of the head of state, was responsible for guidance on the ground. Their understanding of the Whale Bay area of the Chinese Empire should be more detailed than ours, and the direction should not be wrong. In addition, we are in the air, and the theory and practice will be deviated due to the rotation of the earth and the error of the map. This is a normal phenomenon, so don't worry. Before leaving, the head of state told me that if we lose our direction when flying at night, the ground guidance should be based on the guidance!"
Hearing Silame say this, the captain no longer had any questions. He immediately corrected the route according to the direction guided by the ground and continued to fly westward.
The captains of other German regiments flew with the bombers where Silem was, so they also adjusted their direction and flew down the road.
On the ground, Feng Guozhang and other special forces were staring at the dense bomber group in the air. The roar made them feel palpitations. Such a huge aircraft group roared past, you don’t need to guess that it must be heading for the Chinese Imperial Army in the Whale Bay area. When you think of Li Yuanhong’s special instructions before leaving, Feng Guozhang and others were instantly scared and sweating all over.
"Captain! They have changed their route!"
Feng Guozhang nodded, and he also saw it and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that at the critical moment, Feng Guozhang decisively issued an order, asking his subordinates to re-place the braziers at the fastest speed, and pointed the arrow towards Monrovia, the location of the German army.
This is thanks to the team members interrogating the German Gestapo who was captured by them. After more than a dozen rounds of beatings, various cruel torture methods finally made the Gestapo let go and gave their tasks.
For the Gestapo, it is generally impossible to confess in such a short time. However, Feng Guozhang and the others were lucky. The Gestapo in front of him was still a novice, so he was kept by other Gestapos to guard.
Feng Guozhang was shocked when he learned that the hundreds of braziers in front of him were used to guide the German bomber group and was preparing to bomb Roberts Port. Unfortunately, in order to explore the intelligence behind enemy lines, Feng Guozhang was too far away from Roberts Port. It took as fast as two hours for the soldiers sent back to report the news. It was only possible to cross five blockade lines in succession and not be discovered by German training soldiers.
According to the captive Gestapo's instructions, the German bomber group would arrive in the nearby airspace in half an hour, and it would only take half an hour for the German bomber group to fly to Roberts Port from here, so the Chinese imperial army at Roberts Port could not get news in time.
Feng Guozhang even speculated that even if Li Yuanhong from Roberts Port had already prepared air defense, an anti-aircraft artillery regiment might not have intercepted a thousand German bombers. Once a thousand tons of airborne eggs fell, the entire Roberts Port would be destroyed, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
At the critical moment, Feng Guozhang thought of a solution. He asked his subordinates to adjust the direction of the arrow in the brazier. He originally headed towards Roberts Port, but then changed toward Monrovia, where the German army was located.
Of course, Feng Guozhang was not sure, and he was relieved until he saw the German bomber group really turn.
"Captain! The German bomber group flew towards Monrovia. Do you think they would really throw a thousand tons of air fried eggs on their own heads?"
After all the team members breathed a sigh of relief, they became active again and surrounded Feng Guozhang and asked.
Feng Guozhang couldn't help but say happily: "Who knows? I hope the German air officials are all second-hand men!"
The special forces members all wanted the German air officers to throw the fried eggs to their own people. When they thought that the entire Monrovia would be bombed by a thousand tons of air eggs, everyone grinned happily.
After being happy, Feng Guozhang returned to his seriousness.
"Call the 2nd and 3rd squadrons back immediately, we have to pursue the German Gestapo!"
When he heard that he was going to pursue the German Gestapo, some soldiers were excited, while others were confused.
"Captain, as the German bombers are about to bomb their own people, we have to go and see the fun! By the way, take advantage of the big bombing opportunity to catch a few big fish and come back!"
Many team members nodded.
Feng Guozhang shook his head and said, "You are right to think this way. According to normal reasoning, I should do this. But have you ever thought about it? The German bomber group in the sky was originally going to bomb our base. In other words, the German Gestapos who just left were also holding your thoughts. While the German bomber group bombed Roberts Port, they suddenly attacked and caught a few big fish."
The team members immediately woke up and nodded.
"Captain, what should we do?"
"Captain, this German Gestapo is not ordinary!"
"Yes! You say they may be the German special forces, so our border troops may find it difficult to stop them. Once they let them infiltrate into Roberts Port, it will be troublesome!"
Feng Guozhang nodded and said, "That's right! You must not let them enter Roberts Port, so everyone listen, we must hit the force and destroy this German special forces first."
But some team members were still disappointed and said: "Hey, we may not be able to see this feast. The entire army will launch an attack tomorrow. I don't know if we can catch up."
"Don't complain!"
Feng Guozhang cursed angrily: "Have you forgotten? What are the rules of our special forces soldiers on the battlefield?"
Like snipers, snipers destroy the opponent's snipers at the first time on the battlefield, and then ordinary soldiers. The code of special forces is to discover the opponent's special forces on the battlefield, destroy the opponent's special forces as soon as possible, and then participate in conventional wars, because if the opponent's special forces cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, one side is likely to be severely damaged by the opponent's special forces, and the consequences are unimaginable.
Feng Guozhang made a quick decision and led a squadron to quickly pursue the German Gestapo. Fortunately, he had sent team members to follow him in advance, which made it much more convenient.
After receiving the order, the second and third squadrons outside also moved closer to the first squadron led by Feng Guozhang.
Half an hour later, the German bomber fleet arrived on the west coast of Africa.
"Report to the sir, find the target ahead!"
Silame was trembling with cold at this moment. This tent-style bomber flew for the middle of the night, and even wearing two down jackets, he couldn't stand the cold.
After hearing the report, he took a look below.
"Thia pussy! (Damn it) it's so late. Are these damn Chinese people still holding a bonfire party?"
Silame couldn't help but curse.
The captain also said angrily: "I think these Chinese people probably thought that they were so happy to have successfully bullied the German Empire after shelling Monrovia during the day. Let's celebrate!"
Xilem said hatefully: "That's right! Damn Chinese, let you taste the special dinner prepared for you by the great head of state Hitler!"
The captain smiled and said, "They will definitely be grateful to us and always remember us!"
"Long live the great German Empire!"
"Long live the great head of state Hitler!"
Although Hitler was not the head of the German Empire, Silame, a loyal lackey, had long been recognized.
The captain also shouted excitedly, and at the same time sent signals to the captains of the other regiments.
"Prepare to drop bomb attack!"
"Children, the future of the German Empire depends on you!"
"I must make a bid later and kill the dogs below!"
Silame stood up and gave orders to the bombers in the cabin behind him.
...
After a fierce battle during the day, the Monrovia Fortress faced the fortifications on the side of the sea and was almost blown out of recognition.
The German army suffered heavy casualties, with more than 1,400 German artillery killed and 3,000 wounded.
This is the huge damage caused by the 18-inch cannon. Even if the battle is over, just looking at the huge pits more than ten meters deep and the broken limbs and arms everywhere will scare normal people to their legs. If a heart disease patient rolls his eyes and falls down.
