Chapter 648 Libyan Air Force

The Mediterranean Sea, for Germany, is just their inner lake. Even if it is the police on the sea, it is completely possible for Italy and France to act as the police, because the air dominance has always been in the hands of Germany!

Not to mention, Germany now has a long-range FW190 fighter jet and an all-purpose bomber such as the Junker-88, which can fly over the Mediterranean Sea at any time!

Moreover, Germany has established a military base in Libya!

At the beginning, Germany and Italy divided the labor. Germany was in charge of the west and Italy was in charge of the east. Unfortunately, the sudden European war made them stop their military deployment to Africa, and they planned to send them to the Seventh Armored Division in Libya. , also participated in the European War.

However, there are early deployments after all. For example, for the transportation of materials, Germany opened a new air base near Tripoli, the capital of Libya.

Since France is going westward, of course, it is necessary to establish a military base in the west.

After the air base was built, some of the supplies were transported, and at the same time, a fighter squadron and a bomber squadron were also transferred.

According to Cyric, with such force, it is enough to maintain the stability of the Mediterranean Sea, and at the same time, it will not hinder his own European battlefield.

When needed, you can continue to increase troops here, and now, this force is just right.

After the deployment of these equipment, there has been no battle, and the pilots who were dispatched here can't wait.

The war over Europe is so exciting, but they can only stay here and watch the sandstorm every day, which is really boring!

So, when they were woken up at three in the morning, everyone was excited.

The base's alerts, three short and one long, are first-level combat readiness!

Waking up from the dream, they almost didn't even wash their faces, and they quickly ran to the hangar hidden in the sand dunes, to their fighter jets.

Captain Conrad, while running, straightened his hair. When he ran to the hangar where his plane was, he saw the ground crew nervously loading bombs on his plane.

FX1000, Glide Guided Bomb! When he saw this thing, Conrad felt a burst of excitement. This thing, in the current equipment, belongs to the highest level of secrecy, and the cost is also very high, and only the most experienced crew can control it. !

This shows that what we have performed this time is an absolutely heavyweight mission!

"Emergency." On the side of the hangar is the flight preparation room. Squadron Captain Bescher just put down the phone and said to the bomber crews gathered here: "Our mission this time is to bomb the British fleet! Destination, Mirskbil Port!"

Last time, in the battle of the bombing of Scapa Flow, Bescher was determined and determined, with a spirit of fearlessness and perseverance, he completed the task and received an Iron Cross.

After that, he stopped.

Because his bomber was almost scrapped and it was very difficult to maintain, he couldn't wait, so he volunteered for a new plane.

As a result, the new plane was given to him, but at the same time, the transfer order came, and he went to Libya!

Although he was stunned at the time, he still decided to execute the order after that, which was his duty. Now, he's up to the job of squadron commander.

To the ports of the French colonies and bomb the British fleet? Is this news correct? Suddenly, some people became suspicious.

However, Conrad suddenly remembered something. Could it be that the British and the French fought? This is even more exciting!

"Attention, our mission this time is very important. We are going to bomb the British fleet, but there must be no accidental injury! We have just obtained the information on the British fleet. Each bomber is responsible for a target. Be careful, you must aim at the target!" Sher said to his subordinates, you can't make a mistake!

When Conrad took his target, he was instantly excited. What he wanted to bomb was the British aircraft carrier! You can't go wrong with this! Because the French don't have aircraft carriers!

They were discussing excitedly, and at this time, the one with the most psychological pressure was of course the bombardier. Whether the guided bomb could hit the target or not depends on them!

The guided glide bomb, the FX2400, did a great job of bombing Scapa Flow in the UK at first, hitting key targets despite the small number of Junkers 290s carrying it.

It's just that this kind of bomb is too heavy, and other bombers cannot carry it except the Junker 290. At the same time, this actual combat also confirmed the excellence of this kind of bomb. Therefore, German researchers systematized this device, Applied to a series of bombs.

Among them, the FX1000, the gliding guided bomb with a weight of one ton, was also transformed from the original free-fall bomb, which could just be carried by a large number of German Junkers-88 bombers.

There are not many Junkers 290 bombers, but the output of the Junkers-88 is quite high, which also means that the personnel of the Junkers-88 bomber do not have to risk their lives for dive bombing, and can also drop bombs directly in the air.

Although it is lighter than the FX2400, all the warships of this era are not optimized for air bombing, and are mainly used to defend large-caliber naval guns. Therefore, this kind of bomb is also enough to tear the opponent's battleship!

They were excited, the plane was hanging bombs, refueling, they were also studying the route, determining the attack route, etc., but the final order was not issued.

When the submarine discovered the British fleet, the order came, but how could it know the benefits of Germany without letting France suffer?

Therefore, they have made all preparations, and can only wait temporarily until the conditions with France are negotiated, and the order here is finally issued!

After hearing the order to leave, everyone hurriedly stepped onto the plane.

The engines on both sides were skillfully fired, and the Junkers-88 bombers flew into the sky one by one.

A squadron, a total of 18 aircraft, thanks to good maintenance, now, there are 16 bombers, all dispatched!

When the bomber took off, the FW190 fighter jets also took off. They were going to provide the necessary escort missions. After all, the other party was an aircraft carrier formation of the British Navy, which had carrier-based fighter jets.

In fact, the old-fashioned British carrier-based aircraft simply can't keep up with the speed of the Junkers-88, but it has finally ushered in a combat mission. How can the fighter squadron not participate?

The 1400-horsepower Junkers Jumo 211G-1 engine burst out with maximum output power, pushing the Junkers-88 bomber to take off, climb, level off at an altitude of 8,000 meters, and fly towards the target at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour!
