The relevant information was soon spread to the command center in Montgomery.

Because Montcomarie has experienced it in North Africa, it is clear that this is something that the Allies call a "self-destructive aircraft"... The reason why the Allies call it a "self-destructive aircraft" is because the me163 does look like an aircraft.

In fact, it is just an aircraft, but it was later transformed into an unmanned vehicle and then replaced the weapons and equipment with explosives... At the same time, its liquid fuel is also explosives, which leads to the fact that although the me163 is equipped with the same amount of explosives, its lethality after hitting the target is not the same:

If the liquid fuel is consumed almost the same amount of time after flying in the air for too long, the explosion will have less lethality. Otherwise, it will have greater lethality.

This is one of the reasons why some of the b17 bombers fell due to injury, while others were directly blown into disintegration in the air.

"Where is our escort formation?" asked Montgomery: "Suppress the enemy's 'self-destruction plane'!"

Montgomery's identity and halo on him allowed him to know much more information than others and even Eisenhower, so he was very clear about the weakness of this "self-destruction aircraft"...it takes time to load fuel, and it takes a long time, and this fuel is easy to explode.

These characteristics also lead to the suppression of "self-destruction aircraft", especially when air supremacy is in the hands of the Allies.

In other words, the escort formation only needs to find the German "self-destruction aircraft" launch position and then shoot at it. Whether it is a fighter or a bomber, they can be easily eliminated.

But after a long time, Montgomery still failed to get the good news from the front, and the bomber was in a hurry again and again.

"What's going on?" Montgomery asked Colonel Aubrey, the commander of the escort formation: "Col. Do you want to wait until our bombers are destroyed before taking action?"

"But, sir!" Colonel Aubrey replied: "We can't find their launch vehicle!"

"This is impossible!" Montgomery replied: "Doesn't these 'self-destructing planes' have a long trail? Do I need me to teach you that the starting point of the trail is the location of the launch vehicle?"

"I know this, sir!" Colonel Aubrey responded: "But we just can't find their launch vehicles, they're like they disappeared out of thin air, or... they don't exist at all!"

Colonel Aubrey was telling the truth. Every time, when fighters and bombers flew over the relevant area along the trail, they saw only a piece of open space and nothing else.

They also tried bombing the area, but obviously there was no effect, because the "self-destruction plane" still flew into the sky one after another.

"Fuck it!" Montgomery couldn't help but curse: "Then I want to know where these 'self-destructive planes' were launched..."

"I saw it, sir!" Before Montgomery finished speaking, Aubrey replied: "They were launched from the cave, or to be precise, an underground well!"

Aubrey was flying the fighter plane just near a launch position. He risked the crash and flew backwards at a low altitude, and then saw the entrance of the underground well below that was slowly closing in the smoke.

"I'm sure, sir!" Aubrey continued to report after straightening the fuselage: "There is indeed no launch vehicle. They hid the 'self-destruction plane' deep underground and launched the 'self-destruction plane' from the ground through something similar to a pipe. Then, in just over a dozen seconds, the pipe opening will close, and we can't suppress it at all, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Montgomery's face turned red and white.

This is obviously a good way to hide the "self-detonation plane" underground, and doing so avoids almost all its weaknesses.

The result of this is that even if the Allies have mastered air supremacy and completely, they still cannot prevent the launch of the "self-destruction aircraft"... unless the pilot can destroy it the "self-destruction aircraft" the moment it is launched, which is almost impossible.

Then, Montgomery soon realized something.

He walked to the map and lay down and looked for a while, and said to himself: "If they have such a deployment in the Netherlands, does it mean that the entire 'Magino' line of defense..."

Thinking of this, Montgomery immediately called Eisenhower.

"How many bombers do we have in Paris!" asked Montgomery.

"Monty!" Eisenhower replied: "Give up, we have lost this battle, the Germans are well prepared..."

"No, Ike!" Montgomery interrupted Eisenhower: "I'm not talking about this, you should have received relevant information. Our bomber was intercepted by their new equipment when passing through the Netherlands!"

"Yes, I know!" Eisenhower replied: "That's what I'm talking about!"

"It's not just the failure of this battle, Ike!" Montgomery said: "If their 'self-destruction planes' were not just deployed in one place in the Netherlands, but the whole 'Magino line', and even northern Germany, do you know what would happen?"

Eisenhower was stunned when he heard this.

Montgomery is right. The Germans perfectly solved the weakness of "self-destruction aircraft", allowing them to perfectly intercept American high-altitude bombers or even low-altitude bombers, which means that the Allies could not bomb Germany's mainland.

Before this, the Allies had always believed that as long as they occupied France, Germany's failure was inevitable, because the Allies could use France as a base to bomb Germany in large quantities.

Without air supremacy, it was only a matter of time before Germany was defeated.

But now, Eisenhower suddenly realized that this was just wishful thinking.

"I understand what you mean!" Eisenhower said: "I immediately ordered the bomber to take off from Paris and cross the 'Magino' defense line from several different directions!"

"Okay!" said Montgomery: "I'll wait for your news!"

Unfortunately, Eisenhower and Montgomery were convinced.

Eisenhower sent thirty bombers, some of which didn't even carry much bomb... France's supplies are relatively in short supply.

But this doesn't matter, they are not bombing but tempting.

Then, as Montgomery said, there were "self-detonation planes" taking off to intercept each direction.

Eisenhower hurriedly ordered the planes to return, but in the end half of the bombers were shot down during the operation.
Chapter completed!
