Chapter 599: The attack on the port of Ceuta begins
"By the way, where did the German aircraft carrier fleet set out to the Atlantic Ocean and Morocco?"
After giving the order, Churchill suddenly remembered.
"After going around the waters in Iceland from the North Sea, we circled a large circle before we appeared in the waters in Mexico!"
"At that time, our intelligence officers thought they wanted to attack Agadir, Morocco. Because during the Agadir crisis, Germany had sent the Leopard warship to Agadir, the Moroccan port, to declare Germany's interests in Morocco, so our intelligence officers had this idea. But now after we observe their course, we feel that they should be heading towards Ceuta!"
Alexander continued to answer.
"Did they react to Franco of Spain and the French pseudo-government Betan?"
Churchill asked again.
"Not yet! Because I don't think they know that the German army has launched such a sudden attack, and the German army has not launched an attack yet, so everything is just our expectation, and the source of this intelligence was discovered by our intelligence officers inadvertently!"
Alexander thought for a while and agreed.
"Hitler can do anything, so you should still be more careful about them and never give them the opportunity to take advantage of the sneak attack!"
Churchill roared loudly.
Then, after listening to Churchill's roar for a while, Alexander and his friends acted according to his orders. As for all the high-level officers of the 5th and 6th Divisions, they also left immediately to strengthen their intelligence collection capabilities and increase their efforts in code decoding, and urged Turing and other password decoding expert teams to decipher the German army's new password skills as soon as possible.
Moreover, at this time, the German aircraft carrier was also in Rommel's amazement. One after another, the carrier took off steps on the aircraft carrier deck and attacked Ceuta in Morocco.
Moreover, those helicopter groups and transport planes were loaded with batches of fully armed commandos preparing to launch air strikes on the area around the Port of Ceuta.
Ceuta is a Spanish territorial in North Africa. It is located in the northernmost part of the Maghreb, along the Mediterranean coast near the Strait of Gibraltar, bordering Morocco, with an area of about 18.5 square kilometers.
Ceuta has a hill called Mount Jaco, from its peak, overlooking the panoramic view of Ceuta. On the hill is a bunker occupied by Spanish troops.
The Spanish troops stationed in this bunker now have only two companies.
The Port of Ceuta is a European port city in Spain in North Africa. It naturally protects the Strait of Gibraltar between the two continents and is one of the strategic key locations in the Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea.
However, at this moment, the Port of Ceuta is not as prosperous and lively as in the 21st century, and has become a small port town with various beautiful modern buildings.
Instead, there are small islands everywhere and relatively desolate harbors with mountains and forests.
Although there is also a small town here, there are still many merchant ships, fishing boats and cargo ships coming and going to sea to catch fish, and cargo ships.
And in such seemingly peaceful days, a small group of Spanish soldiers were on the bunker on the hills of Mount Jaco, carrying Kar 98 Mauser rifles supported and used by the German army during the Spanish Civil War.
"Hey! Have you heard of it? Recently, the German army seemed to have repelled the British and American allies in the Battle of Sicily! And even on the battlefield of the Eastern Front, they were able to defeat the Soviet army and achieved good results!"
Spanish soldier Bamond stood on the bunker and patrolled, chatting at his comrade-in-arms Francisco.
"Well! I heard, and I also heard that our leader, Prime Minister Franco, was also worried about offending Hitler by evacuating the 250th infantry division on the Soviet battlefield!"
Francisco nodded and responded.
"Yes! But who knew that after just experiencing the defeat of Stalingrad and the defeat of Tunisia, the German army actually dealt with the war situation on the east and west sides at the same time, and also repelled large-scale attacks from British, American and Soviet troops one after another. I feel that the German army has created a myth! No wonder our leaders also need them to resolve our civil war!"
Spanish soldier Bamond also gave a brief overview.
"Shh! Why are you saying this so loudly? You want to die! If other interested people hear what you just said, report to our commander and upload it to our leader, I don't know why you die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Francesco immediately changed his face and reminded him in panic.
Upon hearing this, Spanish soldier Bamond immediately shut up and did not dare to continue talking about the topic just now.
He looked around and looked around to see if any of the other patrol teammates passed by their side.
"Thank you for your reminder! I almost got out of my mouth, Francesco!"
Then Spanish soldier Bamond thanked in shock.
"But actually, I admire the Germans who can actually fight against so many industrial powers. I just don't know how long they can last for such a victory. I also heard that there has been a coup in Italy now. Mussolini seems to have been driven out of the Taiwan Strait by the Italian king and imprisoned. His whereabouts are still unknown!"
After hearing this, Francisco smiled slightly and changed the subject.
"No! If Germany does not have Italy's assistance to fight, then isn't it alone? Then I think it's very lingering when they fight against Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries! Fortunately, our Spanish country did not participate in this damn World War II. Otherwise, with our weapons and equipment and national strength, we would probably be the fate of being cannon fodder!"
After hearing this, Spanish soldier Bamond said with his eyes wide open in surprise.
"So how visionary and wise our leaders are!"
In response, Francisco immediately flattered at the decision Franco made.
At the same time, he glanced carefully with his eyes, and the three Spanish soldiers approaching near him.
Let's see if the other party was paying attention to his chat with Spanish soldier Bamond, and the act of flattering Franco on a whim was because he discovered the existence of these people and was approaching.
"Hey! Look, what did that come from?"
But at this moment, one of the three Spanish soldiers suddenly looked up at the blue sky and shouted in shock.
"What's wrong, Green Paul! Why are you calling so loud? What's the point of making a fuss in the sky? Is the British plane here?"
Hearing this, another Spanish soldier smiled slightly and looked up at the way of heaven indifferently.
But when he looked at it, he suddenly trembled in shock and almost collapsed on the ground.
In addition to his panic and horrified face, the other Spanish soldiers were also confused and stared at the F-8D fighters in the sky, Do 217, and He-177 heavy bombers; and the team after team of AH-1 "Cobra" helicopters, B-52 bombers, Sumig-15, and F-86 Sabre fighters; C-13o Hercules transport, UH-1 "Huey" multi-purpose helicopters, and Fa-223 dragon helicopters...
All the Spanish soldiers were stunned in horror when they looked at the densely packed fleet of German aircraft in the cloudless sky.
"This is an airplane from that country! What are they going to do? It's not coming to attack us!"
It took a long time before a Spanish soldier named Toyat spoke in fear.
"It's a German plane, I saw the iron cross badge on their fuselage!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another Spanish soldier exclaimed even more trembling.
Chapter completed!
