Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Some people are always confused about the situation, facing the temptation to make the wrong choice at the wrong time.

A complete set of information on a simple wharf was sold for only [-] rand, which seemed like a lot, but it was a pity that it was a waste of life to earn money, and before the money was warmed in the bag, everyone got stolen.

One hadn't even left Portsmouth yet.

Engineers are professionals in drawing pictures, and they are amateurs in this kind of business. Little Christian tried his best to figure it out, but why did that guy think that hiding in a hotel could avoid the overwhelming raids.

Of course, Little Christian didn't have much time to waste on this matter. On the action plan, the "Overlord" operation officially started on the 6th, and the attacking force will set off on the 5th night. The first batch of bombers and transport planes to depart, The task of the bomber is to carry out carpet bombing near the landing area, and the transport plane will drop the airborne troops to the predetermined position.

At this time, there is no need to hide it. After dawn, the Allied forces will launch a landing operation on the five beaches in Normandy at the same time. No matter how powerful Rommel is, he will not be able to concentrate his armored forces overnight Normandy area.

The preparatory actions of the Allied forces in the early stage were quite effective. Now Rommel's main forces are all around Calais. There are only four divisions in Normandy, and they are all infantry divisions. The equipment and training level are second-line troops.

It was still raining when the bomber unit was preparing to depart.

The weather forecasting department made another mistake. The rain has been falling and there is no sign of clearing up. The intelligence of the reconnaissance plane shows that it is also raining in the Normandy area, which brings more difficulties to the Allied bombing.

The efficiency of night bombing mainly depends on the ground guidance of the intelligence department. At this time, there is no advanced technology such as laser guidance. Because of the strict investigation of the Germans, it is difficult to send even wireless telegrams to the Normandy area, so the ground intelligence personnel only Can rely on the fire to guide the Allied bomber force.

In clear weather, the effect of the fire is still very obvious.

The effect of fire guidance in rainy days is very bad, and it can't be lit at all.

"The transport plane has set off according to the plan, and the bomber unit is next, I hope God bless-" the commander of the First Squadron, Rear Admiral Kirk of the US Navy was uneasy. This was the first time he commanded such a large-scale naval fleet.

In order to implement the "Overlord" plan, the Allied Forces mobilized almost all naval fleets that could be dispatched. All warships added up to more than 1200 ships, 4000 landing ships, and about 5000 transport ships, which can be said to be the largest in human history. The largest fleet ever.

This huge fleet belongs to southern Africa and the United Kingdom and the United States. Coordinating command is the biggest problem. The headquarters in London is a hodgepodge, and all orders are issued from here. In order to better perform tasks, the command divided the fleet into four. , in addition to the three landing fleets, an artillery fleet was also specially set up to provide fire support for the landing troops.

The first squadron is mainly composed of the US military, with a total of 3 battleships, 10 cruisers, 30 destroyers, 280 other warships, and 1700 landing ships.

The fleet will be assembled in Belfast, with air cover provided by the 9th Air Force of the U.S. Tactical Air Force, responsible for transporting the U.S. 1st, 4th, and 29th Infantry Divisions to land on Utah Beach and Omaha Beach respectively.

"This weather can't guarantee the bombing effect at all. It's better to cancel the bombing operation tonight and go all out after dawn." The chief of staff of the British Air Force, Admiral Porter, was uneasy. Let alone the efficiency of the night bombing, whether the bomber can go smoothly It's hard to say when you fly back.

Not to mention dispatching in bad weather conditions.

But at this point, it is definitely impossible to cancel the action. Even if there is a knife in the sky, the task must be carried out.

Gavin and Yang Smozi sat in their seats and closed their eyes to rest their minds. They don't want to sleep these days, and seize every opportunity to catch up on sleep.

It's useless to worry about it now. Compared with the bomber pilots in the United Kingdom and the United States, the bomber pilots in southern Africa have rich experience. Many of them have been on missions since the British Air Battle, and all of them are veterans.

Veterans will make mistakes tonight. At Portsmouth Military Airport, a U.S. bomber loaded with aerial bombs broke down shortly after takeoff. The pilot threw all the bombs into the sea. When returning home, he had to take off because the runway was full. There is no runway for the bombers to land at all, so they can only make an emergency landing in the nearby fields.

Fortunately, this is a medium bomber.

If it is a heavy bomber with extremely high requirements on the runway, the pilots can only parachute, and an emergency landing in the field is tantamount to suicide.

This is just the beginning, followed by surprises.

In order to ensure the bombing effect, a total of more than 600 bombers participated in the night bombing, and there were also an equal number of fighter jets. To provide air protection for these bombers, more than 1000 combat aircraft took off in sequence, which is also a great challenge for the coordination of the airport ground staff. test.

Two British Lancaster bombers collided on the runway due to a signal error at the airport. One Lancaster's wing was broken, and a large hole was cut in the belly of the other. The fuzed aerial bomb had been installed Being exposed, everyone was scared into a cold sweat.

The aerial bomb with the fuze installed is in an explosive state at any time. If it explodes at the airport, the consequences will be extremely serious. At this airport alone, there are nearly 200 planes waiting in line for takeoff.

The Lancaster bomber was developed on the basis of the Manchester bomber. The engine was increased to four, and the bomb load could reach up to ten tons. The nose turret and the back turret were respectively equipped with two 0.303-inch Browning machine guns, and the tail turret Double that, even if you face German fighter jets alone, you still have a certain self-defense capability.

In 1942, the Lancaster bomber participated in the war for the first time, and then participated in many bombings of the German mainland, with brilliant results. It is the main bomber in active service of the British army.

Portsmouth is very close to Normandy, and all Lancasters have the maximum ammunition load. One is full of ten tons. If this thing explodes at the airport, it will be as powerful as a little boy.

For the "Overlord" operation, the Allied forces have hoarded nearly [-] million tons of combat supplies in the past few months. The airport is full of bombs and fuel. If any plane explodes, it will cause an uncontrollable explosion.

At this time, everyone is thanking God that it is still raining.

A little trouble was quickly resolved. The two Lancasters must not be able to perform the mission. The ground crew cleared the runway as quickly as possible, and the mission continued.

The Southern African Air Force has always been the main force of the Allied bombing. Less than 100 bombers participated in the operation tonight, and the main force will appear tomorrow. The task is to bomb the railway in France and prevent the German army from providing support to the Normandy area as much as possible.

The armored troops under Rommel, if they want to go to Normandy for support, they have to rely more on railway mobilization and run along the road on their tracks. Not to mention the slow speed, it is estimated that few can reach Normandy. The service life of tank engines is limited, and the failure rate Surprisingly high, Germany's strongest elite armored force is still in Russia, and now there are very few left.

When the British side was preparing for the "Overlord" operation, the Russians were not idle, and launched continuous attacks on the Germans, which went smoothly.

Now the war potential of the Russians is truly revealed.

At the beginning of the war, the Russians did not perform well, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, giving people the feeling that the country would be subjugated at any time.

With the advent of the first winter, the Russian battlefield turned around. This had nothing to do with southern Africa and the United Kingdom and the United States. It was purely piled up by the Russians with their lives.

It wasn't until the Battle of Volgograd that Russia really gained a firm foothold, the speed of replenishment exceeded the speed of loss, and its strength continued to increase.

To put it bluntly, the Russians in the early stage of the war were consumables. Although there were many troops mobilized, the losses were faster, so there has been no accumulation.

Now the situation has finally improved, and Beard's subordinates have finally accumulated a group of troops with rich experience, strong strength and confidence, and continuous victories.

It is not appropriate to use "batch" to describe it, after all, there are nearly ten million people.

Therefore, after the Tehran Conference, both southern Africa and the United Kingdom have reduced their support to Russia. After all, a too strong Russia will make the whole world feel uneasy.

Only the United States has the head iron, and the support to Russia is still increasing.

The purpose of the Americans is also very clear. Creating a stronger Russia is in the interests of the United States.

So don't believe in the propaganda of justice, savior, etc., and don't be too mythical about the "Overlord" operation. The total strength of the Allied forces participating in the "Overlord" operation is only more than 200 million. In any battle in the early stage of the Russian battlefield, both sides participating in the war are in the same scale. More than 200 million.

It's not going to work now, the number of troops participating in the war on the Russian side is increasing, and the Germans can no longer hold on.

The bombers participating in night operations in southern Africa are aerial fortresses, because the distance is very short, and the aerial fortresses also have the largest ammunition load. They take off in sequence after the fighter jets take off.

The bomber pilots who are qualified to participate in night operations are all veterans. In the past two years, the Allied Forces have gradually controlled the air supremacy near the English Channel. The bomber pilots are not too nervous, and they are still in the mood to chat after takeoff.

In the cockpit numbered 3351, the bombardier Ignaz was in a relaxed mood, even whistling when the plane took off.

"It's still raining in Normandy, so we probably returned empty-handed this time." Captain Gao Jie was also relaxed, but not in a good mood.

This is the 35th time that Gao Jie has participated in the bombing operation, but he has not yet won the medal. It is not easy for bomber pilots to get the medal, and it is easier for fighter pilots to get the record.

"We only need to fly to the target area and drop the bomb to complete the mission. As for whether it is accurate, it depends on God's will." The loader Peng Yue shouted at the top of his voice. The noise of the engine was too loud, and he couldn't hear clearly without shouting.

There are six members of a crew in the Sky Fortress, and the three of them are relatively comfortable, and the other three are machine gunners.

Gao Jie didn't answer, all his attention was on controlling the bomber.

At this time, if the weather is fine, the scene is very spectacular, with hundreds of bombers lined up in neat formations, covering the sky and covering the sky, which is more interesting than elephants walking.

It's night now, so the visual effect is much worse. The plane closest to Gaojie is only a point, which can't be seen clearly, and it's even darker below, and you can't see anything.

Fortunately, there is an altimeter, and the bomber will not knock down the ground buildings. Ignaz is right. In this case, throwing the bomb down will complete the mission, and no one can guarantee the bombing effect.

The Germans are still very tenacious, 3351 has not yet reached the predetermined position, and the Germans still have fighter jets to take off.

The fighter jets from the Allied forces swarmed up, and the machine gunners on the bombers also started shooting. The scene was extremely spectacular.

"Where are we now, I can't see the ground signs—" Ignaz couldn't find the ground signs, and finally became anxious.

"Don't care about the ground instructions, drop bombs, drop bombs, throw all the bombs out—" Gao Jie no longer had extravagant hopes at this time, and the serious thing was to return to the voyage as soon as possible after dropping the bombs.

Then throw it quickly, the bomb load of Sky Fortress is also ten tons, and it will take half a day to throw all of them.

At this time, there was finally fire on the ground, but it was not the fire set by the ground intelligence personnel, but the exploding aerial bomb.

Hundreds of bombers dropped bombs together, and the effect was really carpet bombing. There were fireballs everywhere on the ground, extending to the end of the line of sight.

The last thousand-pound bomb was thrown out, and Gao Jie desperately pulled the nose up, turned around and returned.

At this time, it was already early morning, the rain finally eased, and the weather forecasting department finally did something.

When 3351 returned to Portsmouth smoothly, the Second Squadron, which was responsible for providing cover for the British formation G, had already set sail.

The Second Squadron, all composed of the British Army, consisted of 3 battleships, 13 cruisers, 30 destroyers, 302 other warships, and 2426 landing ships. The commander was British Rear Admiral Wei An.

The task of the Second Squadron is to assemble at Greenock, with air cover provided by the 2nd Air Force of the British Tactical Air Force. The Canadian 4rd Infantry Division landed at Juno Beach, S Formation was responsible for transporting the British 50rd Infantry Division to land at Sword Beach, and L Formation was responsible for transporting the second echelon of the British 3th Armored Division to land at Golden Beach.

In addition to these two squadrons, the 3rd squadron, all composed of southern African warships, has three aircraft carriers, 16 cruisers, 35 destroyers, 130 minesweepers, and 206 other warships.

The last fire support fleet consists of 7 battleships, 2 shallow water gunboats, 24 cruisers, and 74 destroyers. This fleet is divided into five naval gun fire support brigades, which provide naval gun fire support for the five beaches.

At this time, the British 6th Airborne Division and the American 101st Airborne Division, transported by [-] transport planes, had also successfully arrived in Normandy. They were the first Allied troops to land, and their mission was also the most dangerous.

It is gratifying that the British and American paratroopers did not make mistakes this time. They are now considered veterans, and their experience is constantly accumulating.

After a long period of suffering, "D" day finally came. The first to arrive in Normandy in a transport ship was the 8th Infantry Division in Southern Africa, one of the earliest troops established in Southern Africa.
