After receiving a telegram from Hori Teki, Tsukahara Nishizumi was also happy and immediately deployed.

That night, Peterson went crazy again. Not only did the Japanese fleet turn back in the evening, but a large number of Japanese planes rushed over in the early morning. The exhausted fighter pilots were about to deal with it, but the Japanese aircraft group began to turn again, and then did the same thing and continued to toss and go all night. The only difference was that they circled Panama counterclockwise last night, and tonight they circled Panama clockwise tonight.

At dawn, the Japanese fleet retreated to the distance again, with red eyes and gasping for breath, Peterson now even wanted to kill people, but when the staff asked him if he wanted to deploy a counterattack, he hesitated again, saying: This determination is not easy.

After thinking for a long time, he waved his hand and said dejectedly. Of course, he could not show weakness on the surface and ordered: "Confirm monitoring and comprehensive preparation. Once the Japanese army runs into an 800-kilometer range, they will attack!"

So both sides stared at each other for a long time in the confrontation.

After receiving the information from the Japanese army teasing the Panama defenders for the second time, Washington became more and more convinced that the Japanese army was engaging in the attention of its own side. The situation is very obvious. The Tsukahara fleet was stuck at about 1,000 kilometers, neither retreating nor advancing, and just waiting for the American plane to attack. This situation made the Joint Conference go up and down like swallowing a fly. It was both uncomfortable and disgusting. In the end, it could only order "strict control, ignore it for the time being!"

The Kakuda fleet on the other side disappeared again. At first, it was a little nervous to participate in the Joint Conference, but after receiving the news that Halsey reported that "the Hornets are expected to be repaired tomorrow and the fleet will attack at night", everyone calmed down and took care of sending power to Newfoundland first.

The army transported two divisions through air, and the Land Airlines gritted its teeth and dispatched more than 200 aircraft from all over the East Coast. Mitchell led the main force of the Atlantic Fleet out of the Pissachek Bay, which had just completed the sea trial, and was preparing to assist in the defense and response at the Northeast coastline. After deploying these, everyone felt a little relieved.

In the early morning of October 20, the Tsukahara Fleet released its third attack group. This time, the planes carried no longer sub-fuel tanks, but dark bombs. Not only did the Ju-198 attack aircraft carry 3 250 kilogram bombs or 8 75 kilogram incendiary bombs, but even the escorted b-319s were carrying a 250 kilogram bomb.

Tsukahara sent more than 260 aircraft, and after taking off, the formation was arranged very compactly, and it still looked similar to about 200 aircraft, and flew towards Panama in the same way.

"Sir, the Japanese are here again!"

"Be careful and report it immediately if there is any situation."

After two consecutive days and two nights of suffering and mental tension, the US pilots were also exhausted to a certain extent. There were 50% of the Japanese aircraft carriers rotatable personnel. The US military was not so well equipped. After losing nearly a quarter of the crew on the first day, the remaining pilots had to perform more tasks.

"It's true that it's still a prettier trick. Please, can you think of other tricks?" Peterson saw the Japanese army turning again when they approached 80 kilometers on the radar, and waved his fists viciously, "Cowards! Go and die!"

"All formations pay attention, all formations pay attention, the last inspection, the last inspection."

After hearing the commander of the captain, the pilots immediately told the team members to do the final inspection.

"Maximum speed, the whole army assault!"

"Sweep" the ground. The Japanese formation, which was just wandering at a speed of 400 km/h on the periphery, instantly increased its speed to more than 500 km/h, and rushed towards the Panama Defense Center. When the panicked radar soldiers woke up the sleepy Peterson and told him that the Japanese formation had rushed into the core area of ​​40 kilometers, Shigeka Shimazaki, who was the first to throw the flares down, opened the passage for the subsequent offensive echelon and guided the target.

When Peterson jumped and ordered the night fighter to intercept and take off the airport's stranded aircraft, the Japanese bombs and incendiary bombs had been dropped. The gunners in the anti-aircraft gun positions woke up as if they were dreaming and began to fight back fiercely, but they were immediately suppressed by the Japanese army. The Liefeng-Gai fighter, who had taken the lead in dropping the bomb, began to strafuse the ground, with fire chains and screams everywhere.

"Boom" explosions exploded, and incendiary bombs exploded and formed balls of flames on the ground, detonating US aircraft, fuel, ammunition and even various vehicles, tires and other flammable materials. The flames that soared into the sky made the night like day. The Japanese attack aircraft that followed the attack no longer had to struggle to find the target. At around 3 o'clock, the US Central Air Fuel Depot was detonated, and a loud "Boom" sounded. Not only did the crowd within a radius of 400 meters swept away, but a huge mushroom cloud also rose up on the spot. The violent air shock wave even even the Japanese attack aircraft flying at an altitude of more than 1,400 meters shaking and bumping up and down.

"It's over..." Looking at the signs of a fire outside, Peterson was stunned and didn't know what to say. The bursting sounds seemed to be mocking him, you idiot!

At around 4 o'clock, the Japanese plane that had poured out the ammunition returned satisfactorily. Since Tsukahara did not want to capture Panama, the battleship troops did not let the reconnaissance plane go up and finish the reconnaissance planes make it clear that the Panama Canal will take at least one year to repair (Japanese judged that the actual request of the US side was June 1945), and there was still time to fight, so the attack group did not spend much effort on the restoration project of the Panama Canal, but instead poured the ammunition mainly on the heads of the US army...

The Chinese and Japanese troops shot down 17 US aircraft in this attack with losses of 19 aircraft (mostly shot down by ground air defense fire). The losses in the air looked good, but the losses on the ground were terrible. Panama Land Airlines lost nearly 400 aircraft and more than 100 units (mostly killed in forced takeoff), and most of the killed were skilled crews. Instead, they were at a loss. The unresponsive novices hid in bunkers and did not try to set up aircraft and fly in the end.

The fire burned for a whole day and night, and was not extinguished until the evening. The Panama base, oil depot, towers, anti-aircraft guns, and radar stations were all destroyed by the Japanese army. The ground troops also suffered a catastrophe. The total loss of troops exceeded 1,800, and all facilities were ravaged.

When they heard the news that Panama was beaten, all the members of the Union Council looked bitter but couldn't say a word. They accused Peterson of being careless and obviously inhumane. The Japanese obviously did not want to occupy Panama, but they just wanted to get some advantage, but they left, but they were defending themselves, and this cheapness was still something that people could get.

After a long time, MacArthur sighed: "Let the Panama defenders take a break and replenish their troops. I guess the Japanese fleet really intends to leave this time."

Arnold, who had returned to Washington from the West Coast, had his eyes straightened and didn't know what to do. He really had no way to do it now.

In the evening, Hoffman, who inspected the "Thunder 1944" (Blitz 0 Special Exercise) on Madagascar, also knew the feat of the "three fights against Panama" of the joint fleet, and commented with a smile: "The Americans were teased by the Japanese, and I don't believe that they can still bear it. If they want to fight, the fight between the two sides will be as tragic as Mars hit the earth!"

"It's better to be tragic. It means there is still room for struggle. Like us, the other party has no room for struggle. Isn't it despair?" Keitel suddenly remembered something and reported, "Martin Maschar sent a telegram to tell the second batch of South American troops that had officially set off from Italy and would arrive early next month if it was unexpected."

Hoffman nodded: "Very good, how are you preparing for the South African battle?"

"The conventional forces have basically been in place, and the special forces are still a little short of it. Other materials and supplies have been in place 85%, mainly because the transportation of new missiles and launch vehicles has been delayed. I think an attack can be launched on time on November 15th."

"Don't worry, let's take a look at the results of the exercise first. If there is anything that doesn't fit the idea, you can also use this period of time to adjust it to give the South African US military a decent and elegant way of death."

"Decent?" Keitel burst into laughter.

"As the first practical attempt of Blitz 0 in the world, if it cannot be implemented with thunder, it is like killing a cow with a blunt knife. The cow will die, but the process is not decent and elegant." Hoffman shrugged, "Why do I have to spend a lot of money and waste my energy to organize an exercise in Madagascar? In essence, it is to find a problem. I don't know if you still remember that when you march to Vienna, there were broken tanks of No. 2 and No. 3. How did Britain and France laugh at us at that time?"

Keitel quickly recalled, nodded and said sincerely: "They dare not laugh at us now, and they even admired us very much. The French are tentatively asking whether they can introduce Rocket technology..."

"Of course! I don't think there is any problem with transferring a batch of V2 technology and 12 live ammunitions, which also reflects the reconciliation and friendship between France and Germany. However, as a country's important weapon, the price of Rocket technology is definitely not cheap, and the package price is 14 billion marks, what do you think?" Hoffman smiled and said, "The French have a lot of mark bonds in their hands. As a responsible major country, Germany must not be able to make white deals with allies, right?"

Kettle was happy: The chief price is really not low. The 14 billion mark is higher than the total amount allocated to all rocket development projects of Penetmingde Base over the years, which is about the cost price of 50,000 Tiger or 140,000 No. 4 tanks. Moreover, the Penetmingde Base includes all rockets in the V series and various products such as air defense, air-firing, anti-radiation, and anti-tanks. Now, a V2 is sold separately and costs 14 billion. This price, tsk!

However, Keitel doesn't think it's expensive. After all, V2 was developed through many years of hard work and has been tested by Germany. France will definitely need to invest a lot of money to reach the same level and also take essential time. Of course, this is not that only Germany has Rocket technology at present, and there are no other semicolons, so it makes sense that it is expensive.

"Report to the Head of State, Chief of Staff of the Supreme Command, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd German Rocket Assault Battalions have been prepared and are about to be tested. Please approve it!"

"agree."

Hoffman strided toward the best viewing position in the observation bunker area and sat down. A high-power telescope had been placed in front of him. Behind him was filled with marshals, generals and foreign representatives, and several lieutenant generals didn't even have a bench. They still stood on tiptoe and watched with their telescopes intently.

"Prepare, get up!"

The audience suddenly became silent...
Chapter completed!
