Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 353: Untitled

After the winter began, the climate in the North Sea gradually began to deteriorate. After January, two consecutive winter storms formed, and the resulting storm surges hit parts of the coastal areas of the Netherlands and Denmark. Because the war on the Western Front ended too quickly, the maintenance and management of coastal dikes and water conservancy facilities were not interrupted, and the local government organized rescues in a timely manner, so the loss of coastal villages was not very serious, and the disaster was successfully controlled to be acceptable to the people. Within the range.

Even some German armed forces in the Netherlands and Denmark have also participated in rescue operations in coastal areas. Except for the German Army and a small number of SS garrisoned at military facilities, most of them are logistic engineering units of the Luftwaffe and Navy.

At present, European countries are building a series of permanent airports and large radar stations along the Atlantic coast, which is the west wall of the European air defense network. Several countries initially agreed to set up the "North Atlantic Air Defense Command Center" in Luxembourg. This country has a relatively easy position and the major powers are relatively satisfied.

The climate of the North Sea in winter will have a certain impact on the project. In addition, since November last year, construction machinery and technicians have been urgently transferred to the east. Now most of the military projects in the Netherlands and Denmark have fallen into half The state of shutdown.

Vaius is a very ordinary Danish town with a resident population of less than 500. Most of the residents live on offshore fishing. The town center is less than two kilometers from the coast, and the houses of the few residents closest to the sea are almost close to the beach.

The sandy beach here is very good, the sea is crystal clear, so it becomes a resort swimming resort in summer, and tourists mainly come from Esbjerg, 20 kilometers away.

It's winter, and the beaches that used to be like a cloud of tourists are now empty. There are only rows of small fishing boats lying down there to dry the bottom of the boat.

Today was a sunny day. Just after eleven o'clock, Neilbert rode out of his house on his 70% new "Dolphin" bicycle. In the rattan basket on the rear rack of the bicycle is his lunch, an elaborate egg-ham sandwich and coffee in a small thermos.

Neilbert has a stable job, working as a first-class clerk in the Municipal Water Affairs Bureau. One or two months are the busiest times in the bureau, but his wife is about to give birth these days, so he invited his superiors Three weeks of paid leave. Neilbert was well-known in the unit, and the director was a well-known good old man. As a result, the fake slip was passed smoothly.

The weather forecast shows that the weather will be good these days. Yesterday, his wife was nagging him for half the night, hoping that he would take advantage of the time to go to his father-in-law’s repaired stroller and bring it back.

Neilbert's father-in-law is an old postman. After retiring, he lives in an old house by the sea and often drives an eight-meter sloop to go fishing. The old man is very skillful. He usually likes to tinker with some fashionable gadgets. When he went to his son-in-law's house for dinner last week, he found that the baby stroller at home had lost its wheels, so he volunteered to take it back for repairs. A few days ago, I asked the postman to send a letter saying that the car had been repaired, and asked Neilbert to pick it up when he had time.

The outdoor temperature was only two degrees Celsius, and the sun was finally warm. Neilbert raised up the wool scarf that covered his mouth and nose, stepped on the pedals with his legs, and the bicycle climbed the hillside along the dirt road. .

You can see the coastline from the top of the slope. From here to the beach, the whole area is covered with low and dense bushes. Large and small wooden houses are dotted among these withered bushes.

Neilbert released the hand brake and went straight down the **** in the cold wind. The distance of one kilometer is not too far, and Neilbert quickly came to his father-in-law's house. Leaning the bicycle against the fence by the yard, Neilbert took off the rattan basket and walked along the path by the house to the beach not far away.

He planned it a long time ago, so he didn’t rush to get the stroller back. He wanted to sit on the beach, watch the scenery, bask in the sun, and enjoy a rare winter picnic by the way, like He liked to do it best when he was young.

The sand on the beach is very fine, mixed with some small shells, showing a strange grayish white in the sun. In front of me is the vast North Sea. The situation on Vaius's side is not bad, but it is said that some places to the north, especially the estuary of the Danshui River, have been severely frozen.

Neilbert sat down next to a sloping boat, which can shield him from the sea wind from the side. These boats have been lying on the beach since last month because the government is nearby. An out of control drifting mine was found on the sea.

The Danish Navy set up a large minefield near Esbjerg. I heard that at least two hundred mines were thrown there, and a certain naval officer burned the minefield layout before surrendering. Map, as a result, even Denmark’s own minesweepers are facing this minefield headache. The minesweepers in Germany and Denmark have been busy for half a year. As a result, only 60 mines were swept out in this sea area, which meant that more than half of the mines were missing.

The drift mine found has been confirmed to belong to the Royal Danish Navy. The anchor chain was torn off by the strong currents in the North Sea. Before the discovery, God knew how many times it had circled the North Sea with the currents. Therefore, before the government reissues the permit, this section of coastline shall not be launched into the sea, otherwise it will only be deemed worthy of being killed.

The weather is not suitable for sailing during this period. So many things happened last year, and few fishermen raised objections. In the previous period, Denmark was busy responding to the food crisis. There was a severe shortage of feed, a large number of livestock were slaughtered early, and the breeding industry, which is the basis of agriculture, almost faced a collapse. If it were not for the early end of the war and the timely import of a large amount of rations from the United States, people might really starve to death this winter.

Now that the crisis is over, everyone seems to have forgotten those days when they were full of fear and looking for food. Neilbert also ate the egg and ham sandwich again.

The boat has been on the shore for more than a month, but the wooden planks still exude the unique smell of sea water and fish, but for Neilbert, who grew up by the sea, this will not affect him. Good appetite.

Unfastened the clasp of the rattan basket, and then lifted the lid. The water affairs bureau took out a piece of plaid cloth from the basket and spread it beside him, then took out a wooden lunch box, and put the sandwiches neatly in the box.

Neilbert took a porcelain plate and placed it on the plaid cloth, then carefully twisted a sandwich on the plate.

After doing all these things, Clerk raised his eyes and looked around, wondering that there was no one on the beach with such a good sun. It seems that he can only enjoy it by himself. Neilbert took out a small iron-clad thermos, unscrewed the aluminum cap that can be used as a cup, then pulled out the cork from the bottle, and poured himself a lid of heat. Steaming coffee.

Blowing the heat, the water affairs bureau clerk put the cup by the mouth, and enjoyed the fragrance before drinking.

Just as he was about to start the long-awaited picnic, there was a sudden hum of aircraft engines in his ears.

Neilbert knew that it was the sound of the plane. It was because there was a German military airport nearby, which was built after the war and stationed five or six hundred German soldiers. On weekends, these German soldiers would go to the shops in the town to buy things, or to have fun in the taverns in the town.

However, those Germans are very polite and abide by the rules, and did not disturb the lives of the locals. Moreover, the arrival of these Germans has brought some extra income to the residents. The people in the town often sell them some fresh fish and homemade food.

The buzzing sound was approaching quickly, and it sounded like a swarm of bees flying in a summer field. Neilbert was sure it was more than an airplane.

The clerical stood up with his coffee, raised his head and looked towards the east sky. Sure enough, as he had judged before, a line of neatly arranged planes appeared in his vision.

The flying altitude of these planes is very low~IndoMTL.com~ There are two fighter planes flying in the front. Neilbert doesn't understand the model of the plane, but it should be the German BF109.

Two fighter jets whizzed past the beach side by side, only fifty or sixty meters high. They flew north along the beach at high speed. Neilbert stared at the flying fighter in amazement. He had never admired this kind of war machine at such a close distance.

Before the Danes could recover, there was a loud roar in the back of their heads, and then a large shadow was cast on the beach. The water affairs bureau clerk hurriedly raised his head, but only saw a flash passing by. Huge tail wing.

Neilbert swore that it was the largest and most beautiful airplane he had ever seen in his life, even though all he saw was the silhouette from the back.

The plane was painted white all over, with four engines under the wings, a red identification band around the fuselage painted on the back of the fuselage, and a badge painted on the towering vertical tail. Neilbert didn't know what the pattern was. It seemed to be some kind of heraldry or army emblem.

PS: Thank you for your support. I'm working hard to restore it.
