"Lower the height."

"The first squadron bombed the Statue of Liberty, and the second and third squadrons bombed the Borough of Manhattan."

"Low-altitude bombing."

"Here the Americans do not have anti-aircraft guns and fighters."

With the orders of the captain of the German Air Force in the lead bomber, fifteen six-engine bombers named M265 by the Germans began to reduce their altitude, and as the rudder pushed down, ninety huge propellers began to tear the clouds apart.

·····

Below.

New York City.

"What sound?"

A National Guard captain looked up at the sky with a puzzled expression.

Around him, more than a dozen National Guard members armed with Garand rifles and dressed in military uniforms also raised their heads one after another, their expressions were puzzled, and some were curious, but none of them showed vigilance.

As a United States of America, the United States, unlike other countries in general, has internal military forces divided into federal armies and national guards.

The army is responsible for the outside world, the National Guard is responsible for the interior, and in simple terms, the army is responsible for defending against foreign enemies and counterattacks, while the National Guard is responsible for maintaining internal order and defending the homeland.

Although this is a time of world war, this dividing line has blurred, but on the whole, it is still clear.

So, in the United States at this time, the national guard was responsible for the air defense of the homeland.

At the beginning of the war, the United States was very vigilant, and the national radio silence, air control, arms control, material control, floating population control, curfew, spy search and arrest, and all kinds of means were very perfect, as if it was taking the war seriously.

But as the war progressed, especially in the European theater and the Pacific theater, the internal vigilance measures in the United States were loosened again and again, especially when the Germans' wolves were driven away.

Internal vigilance exists in name only.

In order to carry out the overlord plan and deal with the sudden emergence of the German army, the United States launched a new round of conscription at the same time, and also began to mobilize the army and aviation forces of the National Guard to go to Europe.

This series of actions eventually led to the fact that the local defenses were almost extremely weak at this time.

The soldiers of the guard were not on guard, but discussed the noise of the sky with great interest:

"I guess it's a team of bombers in training."

Beside the captain, several ordinary guard soldiers casually discussed.

There are a lot of bombers in the United States, they are very advanced, this is well known in the world, and I believe that the Germans feel it the most, so it is very common and normal for bombers to appear in New York City.

The muffled sound of propellers was clearly a heavy bomber flying, and there would be no fewer of them.

"Strange."

"There's no bomber training record today."

Only the captain was a little confused.

Although he is only a captain, he is usually informed of bomber training operations to avoid disturbances and to deal with unexpected situations, such as accidental forced landings of bombers.

But he didn't forget to go.

It is possible that he forgot to inform him.

More than two years have passed since Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese and the United States began to prepare for war in an all-out way.

The only role of their guard is to capture spies, as well as to maintain law and order, and the air defense forces have been defending the air for two years, and they have not seen even a single enemy bird.

The only aircraft that can fly over the United States can be American.

"Fly down!"

Everyone was surprised when they saw the plane piercing through the clouds.

"Six engines, it's a new plane."

A soldier looked through the binoculars to find a model he had never seen before, and his tone was even more surprised:

"What a big plane!"

Although the mustache repeatedly demanded that the planes that bombed the United States must be marked with the German emblem in order to demonstrate the strength of the German Empire and make the enemy feel frightened and frightened.

But there are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom.

After careful consideration, Kesselring decided that it would be beneficial to the bombing without painting, and on the grounds that there was not enough time, he asked the Führer to agree to paint only a small part, and that part of the painting was also pasted with oiled paper, which fell off as soon as the wind blew.

"No wonder."

Seeing the bare and unpainted plane, the second lieutenant of the guard also understood why he did not know.

It was certainly a new aircraft, and he was not notified due to confidentiality requirements.

A group of soldiers of the National Guard watched in a daze as the fifteen bombers gradually lowered their altitude, their eyes not only wary, but even proud.

Next to them, the Americans, as well as the Europeans who had just arrived in the United States from Europe, all looked up at the fifteen downed bombers with different expressions.

There was shock.

There is curiosity.

There is pride.

It's just that these National Guards, as well as these Americans, who have just come to the United States, don't know that at this time, the top of the Guard, and even the top of the Army Airlines, are also confused.

"Why are there bombers passing through New York without informing me?"

In one of the Guard's offices, a senior National Guard officer yells over the phone.

"Bombers passing through New York?"

The staff officer of the Army Airlines, who was scolded, was also stunned:

"I'm sorry General, this is a mistake in our work."

Lu Hang's staff officer didn't check the authenticity of the matter, first began to apologize directly, trying to appease the other party's emotions, and then, without waiting for the other party to attack, immediately gave a promise:

"We will investigate this matter strictly to prevent similar things from happening again."

The words made the high-level guards speechless, and they could only hang up the phone stupidly.

The staff officer of the army also turned his head and asked:

"Bombers passing over New York today?"

was scolded in vain, and he was in a very unhappy mood, so his tone was very impulsive.

Part of the reason was that the bomber fleet passed over New York, and he didn't know about such an important thing, which made him angry.

'No. ’

Another staff officer on the side replied:

"No military aircraft have passed over New York today."

"Walter?"

After all, he was a staff officer of the Army Airlines, and at this time he had already reached the slightest point in the slightest.

However, he still didn't think about the enemy's bombing, but angrily went to investigate what went wrong, or was there a company that tested the bomber privately?

The unique geographical location has created a safe and secure homeland environment for the United States, but it has also cultivated a sense of lack of vigilance.

The other side.

New York.

The high-ranking members of the National Guard, who hung up the phone, stood up and took out a telescope, looked out the window at the fifteen bombers that were gradually decreasing in altitude, and recalled the voice of the staff officer just now.

He remembered that in the face of his inquiry, the staff officer was full of doubts at first, and he did not seem to know.

Subconsciously, a bad thought came to his mind.

Could it be...

At this time, the fifteen bombers in the distance flew at a lower and lower altitude, and even without relying on telescopes, everyone could clearly see the huge fuselage and six huge propellers.

The person holding the telescope can see clearly, the open magazine, and even the bomb inside the magazine.

"Alert, air defense alert."

In the command room, there was a mournful shout from the top of the guard.

But it's too late.

"Bomb dropping."

With the order of the German captain.

At an altitude of 1,500 meters, among the five bombers in the lead, the bombardier pulled the trigger, and the 500-kilogram bombs in the magazine fell one after another, straight down to the stone statue holding the torch below.

Boom Boom Boom ·····

A violent explosion rose around the stone statue holding the torch alof,

Although each bomber can only carry twelve or thirteen tons of bombs because of the range of more than 6,000 kilometers, it is quite a lot, which has exceeded the maximum bomb load of the B29.

Moreover, these bombs are all produced by the system, and the bombshells filled with Black Sorkin are amazingly powerful.

Five bombers, a total of 60 tons of bombs, that is, 120 500 kg of explosives, even if the horizontal bombing accuracy is low, but the low-altitude bombing increases the accuracy, and finally more than a dozen hit the base and body of the stone statue holding the torch.

With the explosion, the statue of the goddess, which is 50 meters high and weighs 225 tons, representing independence and independence with the declaration of independence in hand and the torch of freedom in one hand, collapsed and fell.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people in New York, it shattered and fell.

"Nope."

This scene made the high-level guards who were watching all this scream miserably.

But the bombing continues, and the pain of America is doubling.

Manhattan, near the Statue of Liberty, is the smallest borough in New York, but it is also the richest borough in New York, inhabited by an elite of bankers, entrepreneurs, dignitaries, etc.

It's the best of New York.

But today, this essence has also ushered in the bombardment of more than 200 500-kilogram aerial bombs.

"God!"

This scene sent chills down the spine of the National Guard high-ranking staff, and their hearts were cold.

In fact.

Two hundred 500-kilogram bombs, even with an Octogold charge, would not do much damage to Manhattan, which is full of skyscrapers and reinforced concrete buildings.

With an area of sixty square kilometers, two hundred bombs, and only a little more than three per square kilometer.

And it's all top skyscrapers, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, the Chrysler Building, the MetLife Insurance Building, all of these top skyscrapers are here.

These top-notch buildings, even a one-ton bomb, can't do much damage.

The casualties caused by the actual bombing were actually not many.

But the most terrible thing about the fall of 200 bombs is not casualties, but fear, because the fall of these bombs means that from today on, the United States of America is also involved in the war, and it is no longer a safe place, and people will start to fear.

The booming economy of the United States will also be hit hard.

These elites will also flee here, and the East Coast will be thrown into chaos, and even there will be waves of migration to the interior.

That's the scariest thing.

It is also what the United States fears the most.

It has to be said that although the Yankees are lax in their homeland defense, they are only lax, not non-existent, and the influx of talents from all over the world has given the Americans enough money.

As soon as the bombers were over, dozens of fighters flew in and launched an attack on the bomber fleet.

With their speed advantage, the fighters successfully shot down two of the bombers, but the remaining bombers took the opportunity to fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, forcing the fighters to no longer attack.

·····

Meanwhile.

Everett.

Boeing's largest bomber assembly plant.

In contrast to the lax guards, the plant's head of security was the Army, a man who acted cautiously, and even though there had never been a bombing of the continental United States, he still carried out his camouflage strategy to evade enemy aerial detection.

Under his work, the entire sky above the factory was disguised as a small town.

Streets, sidewalks, grass, walls, houses, and cars are all available, with the only difference being the buildings that are scaled down, but the reconnaissance techniques of the Second World War are not the slightest difference from the sky.

It's a pity.

The Americans carefully disguised themselves and deceived only themselves.

The test runway, the apron, the maintenance facilities, and the rail transport next to the town all reveal the truth about this place, and the Germans naturally knew that there was an aircraft factory here.

It's just that the whip can't reach it.

Even from the 'warehouse', I bought information about this factory - it can assemble 300 B17 bombers per month.

Now that there are bombers, naturally they will not let go of here.

Ten bombers, piercing through the clouds and lowering to an altitude of 1,200 meters, dropped 60 tons of bombs and flew away, leaving behind only the burning factory and the wreckage of the planes.

And here, because the Yankees were overconfident, there were no fighters even around, so that not a single one of the ten bombers was lost.

Or the same time.

Oak Ridge.

Sixty bombers pierced the clouds and appeared in unison.

As the most important area of Manhattan, the factory where the centrifuge group is located, the core raw material manufacturing, here is extremely high-security, there are thousands of guards alone, and anyone who approaches and leaves must go through strict inspection.

Of course, the Americans, who have deep pockets and ample troops, also have a large number of air defense forces deployed around.

It's just that

In order to maximize the suddenness of the bombing, Kesselring made a detailed plan before the bombing to ensure that the formations began bombing at the same time.

As a result, although there was a tight air defense system in areas such as Oak Ridge, and although the old Germans were slow and loud noises could be heard in advance from afar, the lax Yankees still failed to react in time.

Even when I saw the bomber piercing through the clouds, I thought it was my own people, but it flew in the wrong place. It wasn't until I saw the bombs fall that I realized that it was the enemy's bombers coming.

"This is enemy bombing."

More than ten kilometers away from Oak Ridge, in an ordinary room, several young Chinese looked at the factory shrouded in smoke and explosion in the distance, and one of them was stunned and muttered to himself.

Although it claims to gather the world's top talents, in this era, racial discrimination can be called the pinnacle, and the impure skin color makes them ostracized even if they can participate in core projects because of their excellent ability.

For example, the residence, for example, the treatment, etc., and it is very inconspicuous.

"Huh..."

Beside him, another man with glasses sneered:

"We're a blessing in disguise."

They were ostracized because of the color of their skin, away from the so-called white elite, and had to live in remote areas, and now, that group of people was bombed, dormitories, factories were burned, and they survived in remote areas.

"Indeed."

Obviously, the crowd is centered on this person.

"Let's find a chance to go back."

The person abruptly changed the subject:

"It is said that there are many large-scale factories in the motherland now, and our knowledge must play a certain role."

"Just what I want."

Everyone agreed.

"It's just, how do I go back?"

One of them looked at the bespectacled man:

"We are being watched very closely, the Americans will never allow us to return to China, my brother, especially you, Master Carmen's most valued disciple, an assistant professor at the California Institute of Technology, they will never let him go."

"We can ask the motherland for help."

The leader smiled.

·····

A few minutes later.

While the bombing of Oak Ridge, Manhattan, Boeing Aircraft Factory, McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Factory, Detroit Tank Factory, East Coast Port City, and East Coast Warehouse Complex continued.

The news of the bombing of the United States and the heavy losses reached the White House and reached the ears of the giant in his wheelchair.
