Chapter 47: The Last Judgment (8)
"But it's going to be ruined, ruined," Admiral Kim suddenly burst into tears, crying extremely sadly.
"Then let's move the project facilities and personnel." Turner asked tentatively.
"You don't understand, you don't understand"
Nimitz clenched his teeth and almost didn't bite his lip to bleed, of course he knew what Admiral Kim meant, and he had only recently become one of the "qingren": the entire Oak Ridge involved tens of thousands of horses, and all the nuclear element refining and processing facilities were distributed within a radius of 10 kilometers, where was it so easy to transfer? What made him even more desperate was that only 20 people knew about such an important and top-secret project, how did the Germans get the information? You must know that this kind of top-secret information did not even know Wallace, who was vice president at the time, and Truman also knew the exact information after taking over as president, if the Germans could even find out this kind of information, what news could they not get? Could it be that there have always been high-level reports to the German side? Otherwise, how to explain the fact that the United States has been defeated repeatedly?
Marshall sighed: "At this point, I can only hope that God bless the United States, but I hope that the Germans' rockets are not so accurate!" Notify all project sites, including Alamos, to enable the highest level of combat readiness and cover the retreat of scientists and technicians! Be quick! ”
MacArthur also came to his senses: "Yes, yes, notify the FBI and the Washington Guard immediately, you must be fast!" We're going to capture the spy and dig this mole out. ”
In the end, the countermeasures were discussed by Marshall and Admiral King to report to Dewey on behalf of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; MacArthur and Nimitz were in charge of handling emergency evacuations; Spats urgently dispatched an Air Force reconnaissance plane to find out what was going on, where exactly did the Germans launch the missiles from?
"Sir, the first round of rockets should have all landed."
"I just don't know what the hit rate is, Otto, it would be nice if they could take some pictures!" Lieutenant General Dornberg, who was in charge of the command, waved his hand on the deck in a dashing manner, "Quickly install the spare ammunition, and fight again in two hours!" ”
At the request of the commandos, the aircraft carrier squadron set sail from Bermuda at a rapid pace last night, approached west-south, and arrived at the designated launch position at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. This is actually quite a risky act, and if the US attack planes come to the air raid desperately, these "big smokes" will immediately explode on their own in the fleet. However, this most unfavorable consequence did not occur, because after the German army took control of Bermuda, it built an air defense circle of nearly 600 kilometers, basically formed a confrontation with the US military, and constantly shot down US planes that dared to cross the border to reconnoitre, so that the US military's reconnaissance in this area was greatly restricted
The Germans did not launch an offensive at the closest point to the east coast, and their chosen attack positions were about 1,140 kilometers southeast of Oak Ridge, about 550 kilometers from Charleston, South Carolina, and more than 600 kilometers from Orlando and Miami, Florida.
The bright meteor shower gave the commandos the best chance to get out, and Otto, who had been looking for a breakthrough, immediately divided his troops into two ways, rushing in with equipment all the way, and continuing to drag the pursuers behind him all the way. Now the whole Oak Ridge is completely chaotic, and General Jefferson, who is in the command headquarters and has extraordinary knowledge, knows that this is a rocket, but the American officers and men fighting on the front line do not know that this is a rocket, they think that this is some kind of ultra-long-range artillery, the sound of the explosion and the terrifying howling are not much different from the artillery, and they all subconsciously lie down or look for cover nearby.
Even the officers and men in the core area who had been in a state of panic and strictly adhered to the inner circle guard were also in confusion, not knowing whether to save people or to find cover to take refuge, and they saw with their own eyes that after the "bang" sound, a rocket directly hit a defensive camp, and hundreds of kilograms of high-explosive directly leveled a place within a radius of several hundred meters and smashed a deep pit, and then a large cloud of gunpowder smoke rose and was accompanied by a miserable scream. As for the technicians and workers working in the factories on Oak Ridge, the first moment they heard that the rocket landed and exploded, they also blew up the pot, and most of them did not know what they were doing, nor did they know what these things that exploded on the ground were also blown up.
"The Germans are coming"
"Shelling!"
"Hidden!"
At 6:21, a more chaotic order came, according to the emergency order issued by the Washington Joint Chiefs of Staff, all troops should assist the relevant technical personnel to retreat, this order replaced the order just issued ten minutes ago, cooperate with other troops to eliminate the spy force, probably because the command was not chaotic enough, in addition to the first order to evacuate the personnel, Washington gave Jefferson three orders in less than 3 minutes: first, surround and capture alive the enemy sabotage force as much as possible; second, prepare sufficient vehicles or other means of transport for evacuation and retreat; Third, send a strong engineering unit to obey the command of the core area, and if necessary, dismantle and transport equipment
Although Jefferson knew that the core area was not small, and there should be no fewer people inside, but when he actually called to ask what help he needed and how many people he needed, the number reported by the other party shocked him that there were thousands of technicians and researchers working in the core area, and most of the ordinary workers he thought were ordinary workers with college degrees. The most troublesome thing now is not to assist these thousands of people to retreat, but what to do with the facilities inside?
Jefferson heard the other party crying on the phone: "There is a rocket that hits the factory and is even catching fire, what should I do?" ”
"Hurry up and run, and wait for the fire brigade to come."
"This thing can't touch water."
"Crazy!" This was the first thought that came to Jefferson's mind, and then he immediately shouted, "Then retreat first, and then talk about it, the matter of putting out the fire will always be solved." ”
"Sir, look there's a house on fire there."
"Damn, how do you find those key places described by the Führer." The sky was getting darker, and Skorzny carefully examined the interior of the core area while thinking hard about the few landmark buildings that the Führer had repeatedly told him before he set off, although he had seen the simulated buildings on the sand table, it was impossible to fully identify them in such a chaotic situation and the lighting was getting dim.
"Forget it, don't bother looking for it, just see where the people rush out, we will go where to bury the signal signs, and spread them out as much as possible."
"Good!"
"Two per person, two in a group, as soon as you put it away, you can activate it Now the scene is so chaotic, as long as you are careful, the Americans will not find out about us." Skorzny explained, "After the resettlement is completed, take advantage of the chaos to retreat, don't care about anything else, the bombs will fall on time around 12 o'clock, and there will be a round of meteor showers around 8 o'clock, remember to seize the opportunity, no matter where you retreat, remember to be at the meeting point, I will wait for you there!" ”
"Understood."
"Everyone, take care!"
"Don't worry, Captain, I won't die until the mission is completed."
"Quick" Jim's face changed, the gunfire began to approach, and the covering detachment behind him may also be moving here.
"Go here, go here, don't mess up, don't mess up" Skorzny took Wolf, holding the armband that he had just peeled off from a pile of gendarmes, and beckoned the crowd to retreat, he was already familiar with this kind of thing, except that this time he didn't have to go to the same time as he did in the last raid on the super secret. Of course, even if he is let go this time, he can't kill it, there are hundreds of people in this area alone, and there are not a few people in other places.
There are so many that even he is smacking his tongue: how much territory have the Americans encircled?
It has to be said that the panicked crowd is much more obedient after being guided, and the commandos who abandon their rifles or submachine guns, blend in with the crowd, and even change into white coats are even more difficult to distinguish, and only feel a chaotic swarm of bees rushing around without a clue
