Chapter 1955: Dover Storm One
"Are you kidding me?! As the number one ace in the Imperial Air Force! The first ace pilot to shoot down an enemy plane with more than three figures! At the critical moment of the final battle of the Imperial Air Force, I was actually ordered to go home for a vacation?" At this time , at the German Air Force Base in Zeebrugge, Belgium, Red Baron Richthofen said angrily to Admiral Harrell who was here.
"You can choose to take a vacation at the airport. This is the bottom line. This is the order of the prince, and no one can disobey it." Admiral Harrell was very tolerant of this man who has been fighting on the front line, so this buddy can now and Instead of being forcibly sent back to the country, he watched the fleet of planes that were about to take off together in the tower of the airport.
"About your question, Your Highness only said one thing, people can't be lucky all the time. You've been lucky for a long time, haven't you?" Harrell said after thinking for a while. In fact, both Harrell and the Red Baron knew that the purpose of the prince's doing this was to ensure his safety. In terms of contribution, the Red Baron had already done enough, and it was fine to serve as an instructor in the rear. Therefore, at this time, there is really no need to let the best air combat commander in the German Air Force take any more risks! The war is coming to an end, but the Air Force still needs to develop and build, so there should be no surprises for the Red Baron!
"Okay, now sit here with me and feel the power of the Luftwaffe!" Admiral Harrell patted the Red Baron on the shoulder and said.
At this time, at the largest airport behind the German army, the Dragoon bomber wing, one of the largest bomber wings in the Luftwaffe, was making final preparations before takeoff. The tractor will take the K8B bombers out of the huge hangar, and then a group of staff will help the huge bomber to open the folded wings. Like the British V1500, the multi-meter wings are usually like the wings of a bird. The wings are retracted on the sides of the fuselage, and before takeoff, the wings are opened and fixed with the help of hydraulic assist equipment.
A total of 60 K8B bombers and 80 K6 bombers formed the first strike force today. The four most powerful bomber wings in the Luftwaffe, the Imperial Wing, Hohenzollern Wing, Swan Castle Wing and Wings of Dragoons will take turns entering the battlefield, and the Navy's Black Hawk ocean-going reconnaissance wing will also join in the feast when necessary. And today, it is the Dragoon Wing and the Swan Castle Wing belonging to the Bavarian Air Force!
In addition to these most dazzling heavy bomber wings, today, at least 7 bomber wings will be engaged in air strikes on British naval and army targets in the Dover Strait. In the air, at least 9 combat wings will participate, and a total of more than 50 fighter squadrons will be invested in the largest strategic bombing of the Luftwaffe in turn. "I hope the British don't have too few planes, otherwise, we will be very lonely." Said a German fighter pilot.
The first to take off is the K8B bomber unit. In this airport, there are a total of 4 runways available. A group of K8B bombers entered the take-off area one by one. When the 20-meter-long monster with wings spread over 30 meters stretched its huge body, it was so shocking. This is the most powerful human creation of this era. 60 K8B bombers almost occupied the entire take-off area. With the order to take off, most of the ground crew quickly left the vicinity of the airport runway, and the engines began to emit shocking sounds. With a soul-stirring roar, the propeller pierced the air and let out a palpitating roar. The sound like thunder swept across the entire airport like a storm!
"Let's get started, I wish you all the best!" The signal light on the tower on the side of the airport flashed, giving the order to take off. Then, the pilot of the bomber who was ready to go released the brakes, and the three engines with a total output of more than 1,500 horsepower pulled the bomber and began to slide on the runway.
After dozens of seconds, the wheels left the ground, and the huge bomber began to climb.
"Complete the grouping over the airport." The 8B bombers stay in the air for a long time, so let them take off first and wait for the bombers behind, and because they are too heavy, it will take at least ten minutes to climb to the predetermined height, so let them climb first. It is beneficial to shorten the formation time of the entire formation.
"A total of 35 minutes, which is not bad." During the full 35 minutes, all the K6 bombers took off and formed a loose formation to fly towards the Strait of Dover. This time, the Germans did not adopt the box formation used in strategic bombing, because this time, they did not carry out carpet bombing on a fixed area, but launched an attack on those transport ships scurrying across the sea. When the ship carries out the attack, it is carried out according to the standard of the squad. It is easier to launch an attack directly in a loose formation. As for air safety? If the fighter unit did not make mistakes, then in front of them, there are already ten fighter squadrons fully deployed, and as time goes by, more and more fighter units will join them!
"Head, it seems that we have a lot of comrades-in-arms this time." After flying for more than an hour and approaching the battlefield, Milch's adjutant saw other colleagues flying above the clouds in the distance. At 4 o'clock is the bomber fleet code-named Antelope, with a number of about 50, and at 12 o'clock is the elephant fleet. Among them, this fleet seems to be larger than the Cheetah, and there seems to be a squadron of K8B bombers. And in my 9 o'clock direction is a fighter jet fleet, numbered Cheetah. At least 60 J6 and J7 fighter jets spread out on their flanks, forming a thick defensive network.
In addition to the accompanying fighter units, at a distance of about 30 kilometers from the front of the fleet, there are three fighter wings lined up, and more than 300 fighter jets of various types pass across the sky like cavalry charging in the Middle Ages. . This time, they will be on active suppression missions rather than passive escorts.
"It's a lot, so I'm worried that we won't get enough results this time. Those guys are all ferocious wolves. I know them all! See that elephant? Their team captain participated in the battle against Russia back then. The air strike by the Baltic Fleet sank a battleship! Damn it! Originally, this result should be attributed to me! But in the end, this guy’s torpedo hit the target before us!” Major General Milch said with gritted teeth.
