Battle of the Third Reich
v5 Chapter 184: Golden helmet (below)
Soon Lieutenant Colonel Maiko felt like he was a little nervous. In fact, the Luftwaffe had taken control of the air in the southern coastal areas of the United Kingdom. ⊙,
The third field airfield has already been established in the landing zone, and some fighters under the Second Air Force have already begun to refuel at the field airfield during the morning battle. The front line of the German fighter jets advanced 300 kilometers towards the British inland. The whole of London and the surrounding area are already within the combat radius of the German fighter jets.
The first half of the voyage can be said to be calm and calm, and all the German planes painted with iron crosses were encountered along the way. At this time, the bomber pilots did not relax their vigilance. The closer they were to the target location, the more nervous they became.
The long-distance raid across the sea was originally a boring job. The pilots were very physically and mentally exhausted, not to mention straining their nerves along the way. So the Luftwaffe equipped the crew with high-quality aviation food, which can be used to soothe the emotions of the occupants in addition to being hungry. The most favorite equipment of the Luftwaffe pilots is a new type of portable small thermos. It has a vacuum flask and an iron shell. The mouth is equipped with a screw cap with a rubber pad. After tightening, no matter how the aircraft rolls, Ensure that the dripping water does not leak.
Firme carefully poured a cup of coffee, and he gave it to the bomber and navigator in the front cabin.
"Thank you, sir, there are no deviations in our route to see the landmarks. I calculated it and will be able to enter the combat zone in about fifteen minutes." The bombardier was transferred from the First Special Reconnaissance Wing under the Fourth Air Force early this month. Coming here, he is an aerial academy with four professional certificates. He had been in charge of administrative affairs in the reconnaissance wing unit before. Because of his personal request, he was transferred to the combat force. He can be transferred so smoothly, which shows that he must have his own Connections.
Bombardier named Philippe Stauffen is a handsome handsome man with a military rank of Air Force Sergeant. He just passed his 24th birthday in June and is at his most energetic age.
"I just searched for the 30th Bomber Wing. It sounds like they were very lively in the front." Filme poured another cup of coffee and gave the Wing Captain who was controlling the plane.
"Thank you, Firm." Michael changed the left hand to hold the joystick, and the right hand took the coffee carefully.
"It's a tailwind today. Our fuel consumption is much less than calculated, and we are full of bombs. The aircraft is very heavy. If we are attacked in the air before the bomb is dropped, we can only count on those guys." The captain of the coalition drank A sip of coffee. Frowned.
"How much sugar did you put in it?"
"C paper sugar in the ration, I put six packets, is it too sweet, sir."
"Oh, it's okay." McCormex swallowed the cup of sugar water with a bitter face, and then returned the cup to Firm.
"Is there another drink? Sir."
"No, no more."
"Who wants some baked muffins? I also brought some chocolate cakes."
"I want chocolate cake, sir." The bombardier raised his hand in the front cabin.
"Attention! Attention! Red team 70, there are enemy planes behind you, approaching 5,000. The distance is four kilometers and the direction is seven o'clock." A warning signal from the ground podium suddenly sounded in the headset.
"Spitfire! A large number, eleven... twelve... fourteen... eighteen, eighteen Spitfire fighters!" At this time, the crew of the bomber group serving as the tail alert task also exclaimed on the radio .
"Sorry, Red Team, we can only accompany you here." The long formation of the **** squadron flew over the top of Maiko's landline at high speed. The 109 first quickly swayed the wing, and then made a swift Turned and began to climb towards the rear of the group.
"Thank you, Blue team. Good luck to you." The number of enemy aircraft exceeded the **** squadron. The leader's judgment was very correct. The enemy aircraft must not be allowed to approach the bomber formation. At this time, the **** team must take the initiative to intercept.
"All teams pay attention. It's up to us now. The crews are vigilant, and the machine gunners are everyone. There are enemy fighters here. Today will be a tough battle." Maike slowly pushed the throttle and Ju touched the engine and began to rampage The roar of the high-speed bomber began to show her excellent flight performance.
Unlike the clumsy he111, ju88 is dubbed the brave lady. Not only because of the slightly feminine and soft wing curve, but also because of the maneuverability that does not look like a bomber.
501 Wing started to accelerate at full speed, and soon left the area of engagement between the two fighters. The captain of the coalition sent a situation report to the podium, requesting the support of nearby friendly forces. The podium quickly responded to Maiko’s request. A fighter unit that had completed its mission was returning to the flight, and the command was directing them to the bomber. The position of the wing is close, but it takes about 20 minutes.
During this time, they will either hover in place, or continue to complete the task, the latter option means that they can only fight alone. At the same time, the other party warned that there was a large airspace ahead that had become a mess. At least hundreds of aircraft of various types were fighting in that area. The radar station could no longer identify the enemy and the enemy on the display screen. The command desk made recommendations. If you are not sure, 501 Wing can choose to give up the mission and go back.
"Thank you, we should have completed the mission and returned home in 20 minutes, but it was better than nothing." Mai Ke expressed his gratitude to the control tower, and then expressed his views and decisions on the squadron channel.
"Gentlemen, this is Herman Maiko. From here to the target area, we will have no fighter escort. Test you... No, it’s time to test all of us. Although it has been said that you are a group of inexperienced rookies, But I fly with you to train together. We are like a family. I can feel the blood and courage in your chest. I also saw the professionalism and dedication you showed in training. I believe in my own vision, so I also believe in your ability, we will be able to complete this... our first combat mission. So, no matter what, we will continue to move forward, nothing can stop the 501 bomber wing."
After Lieutenant Colonel Maike said that he had turned off the call switch, he believed that the pilots would agree with his decision. It was a good example to look at the solemn and solemn Air Captain on the side.
"London can be seen now, sir! God, look at that battlefield." The bomber shouted in surprise, pointing to the front right.
In the far air, there are trails of shuttles, and each cigarette tail represents a burning plane. The swarms of black spots dance like swarms of bees in the air. The pilots of the two countries made every effort to interact with each other. Killing.
There must be British anti-aircraft positions on the ground. They seem to be completely indifferent to the enemy. They only shoot wildly into the air, and every second there will be black and gray anti-aircraft smoke clouds at different heights.
"We are going to descend the altitude and bypass that melee zone." Mai Ke felt that it was stupid to rush directly into the battlefield. He still has very important tasks waiting to be completed.
The 501st Wing has a special mission. They are going to raid the Royal Air Force's nest, than Jinshan Air Force Base. In history, the Germans have never understood where the commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force fighter headquarters is. For this reason, many brave German spies have been buried. Although those people are a bit stupid, they are indeed brave.
The British Air Force’s total combat sector command is right next to this seemingly ordinary airfield. During the heyday of the Royal Air Force, it commanded more than 1,400 various fighters of the entire army. On the runway, an elite fighter group is stationed for air defense all year round. Hundreds of anti-aircraft fire bunkers and anti-aircraft positions have been built around. A regiment of infantry guards the surrounding area, and a cruise tank battalion serves as a mobile support force. The overall defense can be described as impenetrable and solid.
The 501 test unit was selected to complete this task exactly at the right time. The original German Air Force plan was to use Stukka assault, but intelligence showed that the bomb carried by Stukka could not penetrate the thick cement roof of the command post. Guy, to completely destroy the command post, they need more powerful equipment. At this time, a staff found the new factory ju88b, this aircraft can carry the latest two 1,500 kilograms of concrete destruction bombs, and at the same time, it can also launch an assault at a top speed of more than 480 kilometers, and the speed when diving Even more than most British fighters. It is a pity that the head of state withdrew her dive bombing function, otherwise it would really be a perfect assault weapon.
After considering for a long time, the Air Command confirmed that a large unit of this unit had been trained, so it issued a combat command with the mentality of trying new tactics and new equipment.
In fact, whether the command post can be destroyed at this time does not make much sense for the entire war. If the Air Force does not manage it, the Army will also complete this mission for them. The nearest German armored force has rushed to a place 20 kilometers south of the Golden Mountain. Perhaps the next day, the German army's flag will be flying on this airport.
"The target can be seen, the air defense firepower is very dense, it seems that our army's aircraft erroneously broke into the base's air defense area." Sergeant Staufen adjusted the focus of the telescope. He found that a series of tracers flew over the airport. This kind of caliber anti-aircraft fire is frantically attacking several twin-engine fighters, from 300 meters to 1,200 meters high, densely packed with smoke from the small-caliber anti-aircraft barrage.
"Damn, we have arrived here, then we must complete the mission. According to the original plan, the teams were lined up, and I took the lead to attack. Finally, I remind everyone that you must confirm the target before throwing bombs, and strive to completely destroy this base once. "Mike tightened the oxygen mask and increased the amount of oxygen. He took a deep breath of pure pure oxygen, and then pushed the joystick. The engine of the Junkers bomber began to emit a screaming cry, pressing the machine. His head dived rapidly towards the British base.
Continue to ask for monthly tickets. Sure enough, I didn't ask for tickets yesterday, and was surpassed at once. As the month ended, the competition for monthly tickets became more intense. Finally, after reading the chapter, please don’t forget to vote for a monthly pass. Thank you for your support. (To be continued.)
