Chapter 513: Comprehensive National Strength
The bomber cannot fly fast with the bomb. As long as the bomb is thrown, the speed of the German bomber is not much slower than that of the fighter. Moreover, they have the cover of German fighter jets, so there is still no problem with running away.
As soon as Schmidt chose to escape shamefully, the Allied planes immediately launched a pursuit. Schmidt resisted and retreated. Of course, losses were inevitable, but the Allied planes could never dream of it. Schmidt was actually luring the principle of the Allied planes at the Paris Airport and attracting their attention at the same time.
Under the cover of several BF110 heavy fighter jets, the Ju89 at a high altitude was successfully rushing over the large military airport in Paris. When the altitude began to be lowered, the air defense artillery arranged by the Allied forces at the airport did not fire. When they saw the big guy in the air, they thought it was their own B29 strategic bomber.
When tons of bombs fell from the sky, the earth-shaking explosion of "boom..." woke up the Allies, and hurried to the cannon position and fired violently at the ju89 in the air, but it was too late at this time.
Ju89 carries ten tons of bombs, each of which is at the level of 500 kilograms. The German army also used delay fuses. The 500 kilogram bombs fell from a height of 6,000 meters and could penetrate the cement pavement of one meter thick at the airport runway, drill into the ground for more than ten meters before it exploded violently.
Then a 500-kilogram bomb can explode a large pit about 25 meters deep and 100 meters wide, and one bomb can completely blow up one runway. The large military airport in Paris has only four runways in total, and the 20-ton bombs carried by two Ju89s is more than enough.
Even the heavy areas such as the apron, oil warehouse, ammunition warehouse and other important places were visited by these 500-kilogram bombs. At this time, it was completely trapped in a sea of fire, and more than ten b29s on the apron were all turned into various parts. The flames generated by the explosion of the oil warehouse and ammunition warehouse rushed directly into the air for more than a thousand meters.
The guards of the airport are absolutely impossible to survive such a violent explosion. Paris Airport is over.
Other Allied airports were also successfully raided under the traction of German bait. More than 100 airports restored by the Allied forces were successfully blown up in France, with less than 50 airports survived.
At the beginning of the air strike, the German army suffered a huge loss. In the first wave of attacks, the German army lost more than 1,000 aircraft of various types, because there were more than 13,000 Allied troops, more than twice the size of German aircraft. However, Germany used this bait tactic to make their attacks on the Allied airports very successful.
After the final results were counted, Eisenhower was stunned. The first wave of air strikes of the Germans destroyed more than 3,000 bombers parked on the ground by the Allied forces, including more than 200 b29 strategic bombers of allied forces.
The losses of fighter jets were not large, only more than one thousand, which was about the same as those of the German army. However, the Allied forces that lost bombers were like flies, and countless airports were bombed, so the range of activities of the Allied air force would be greatly restricted.
Eisenhower quickly relocated the intact plane to the remaining airports, preparing for the second wave of German air strikes.
But when they waited, they saw no German plane flying over the Maginot Line. At this time, Li Mo was laughing at the results statistics table! As long as the Allies lost most of the bombers, they would not have much threat to the armored forces they commanded. His super blitz would be more smooth.
Of course, the Allies that lost most bombers could no longer raid on large-scale industrial facilities in Germany. This was the crisis that Li Mo was most worried about. Now it has finally passed. Even if the Allies have this comprehensive national strength, they will replenish bombers for the French Allies at extreme times.
It will take at least two or three months! After all, the United States has about 20,000 nautical miles from the United States to the United Kingdom, which is a very long distance. In addition, the United States is strong, so it is impossible for it to have so many bombers in stock!
Li Mo's failure to order the German air force to carry out a second air strike was also a misjudgment for Eisenhower. Eisenhower believed that the German air force suffered heavy losses and was unable to compete with the Allies for the air force's consumption.
If the German army really defeated all the Allied air forces, then Eisenhower would definitely leave the Patton army and flee. If the Allied forces really pulled more than two million people to Britain, then these two hundred elite troops would be a sharp knife placed in the German division anytime and anywhere, and could stab the German abdomen at any time.
So Li Mo definitely doesn't want Eisenhower to escape. In order not to let Eisenhower not escape, he can only continue to give the Allied Air Force a glimmer of hope. Although this will cost the Luftwaffe more, this price is very necessary for the entire strategy.

"Damn Nazi...Damn little bastard from the Krupp family...touch..."
Eisenhower, who was originally gentle and gentle, was completely angry when he looked at the battle loss in his hand. Just one day's battle caused the Allies to lose more than 4,000 fighter jets. It turned out that Germany still had such terrifying strength, which made Eisenhower calm down while angry.
"Report, emergency telegram... read..."
"General Patton called and they were surrounded by more than two million German troops. Now the German troops are attacking the Belgium and the regulatory border. The German intention is to completely encircle the 550,000 Allied troops in Belgium and the Netherlands. General Patton requested the commander-in-chief to immediately reinforce."
"Ah! Go to the combat command room..."
Eisenhower could not stand by death, and the same is true for the US military tradition. Even if a soldier falls behind the enemy, he will send rescue troops. Moreover, this is a 550,000 army. No matter how much Eisenhower wants to retreat, it is impossible. This is contrary to the tradition of the US military not abandoning comrades and troops.
After Eisenhower's careful consideration and after he communicated with Roosevelt and Churchill's telegram, everyone agreed that it was necessary to do its best to save the 550,000 allied troops in the siege. As for the lost aircraft, the United States immediately transported it from the country by sea. The United States took out more than 3,000 aircraft of various types in stock at one time, and placed orders for domestic factories. There was no problem in economic production of 5,000 aircraft per month.
This is the comprehensive national strength, which Germany cannot compare to no matter what. The comprehensive national strength of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union is almost inexhaustible and inexhaustible. How could Germany's territorial and human resources be fought with these three countries for a long time? It can only establish absolute strategic advantages in extreme times and then force Britain and the United States to negotiate.
