Jagged Germany

Chapter 1426: battle begins

  The German Air Force Command, although it is thousands of kilometers away from the front line, relying on the advanced communication system, Air Force Minister Albert Kesselring can still keep abreast of the situation on the front line.

  Albert Kesselring Field Marshal's armrest Edward Milch Marshal, although he is now in charge of the Strategic Aviation Cluster. However, he also attached great importance to this operation and arrived at the headquarters early.

   "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, have the troops on the front line set off as planned?" Marshal Kesselring asked.

   "Yes, Your Excellency Marshal. The front-line aviation wings are taking off! Soon, our fleet will cross the actual control line of both sides and enter the Russian airspace." Air Force Chief of Staff General Hugo Speller replied.

  Marshal Kesselring nodded. This time, the large-scale operation of the Luftwaffe will be carried out in the direction of Moscow and Joseph Grad at the same time, trying to destroy the Russian Air Force in one fell swoop and seize the air supremacy on the entire battlefield. Of course, you don't need to think about it, this will inevitably be fought back desperately by the Russian Air Force. If it is not done well, the Luftwaffe will also pay a lot of losses because of it. However, as long as the air battle for air supremacy can be won, then the next battle will be relatively much easier. The Russian Air Force, which has been suppressed again, will never be able to make waves again. In the subsequent operations of the Luftwaffe, the losses will be much smaller. Therefore, the German Air Force is ready this time, no matter how big the loss is, it must seize air supremacy.

"This time we may not be able to launch a surprise attack again. According to the information we have obtained, the Russians have obtained a lot of air defense warning radars from the Americans, and they have been deployed by the Russians in important areas. This will make the Russians feel uncomfortable. There is less warning time." Marshal Edward Milch said with some regret.

  Although the air defense radars provided by the United States to Russia are all old models retired by the United States, the air detection range is only more than 200 kilometers. However, this is enough to leave a long warning time and space for the Russian Air Force. With the help of the early warning radar, the Luftwaffe was able to launch a large number of fighter jets in time to fight the Luftwaffe. This also makes the German Air Force pay a greater price in air combat.

  If Bu Russia does not have an air search radar, the Luftwaffe can still launch a surprise attack like last time. Before the Russian Air Force could react, it blew up those fighter planes of the Russian Air Force on the airport. In this way, the Luftwaffe will be able to seize air supremacy at a minimal cost.

"There is no way around this. Our enemies are also making continuous progress. However, our overall strength is far stronger than that of the Russian Air Force. Under such circumstances, even if we fight the Luftwaffe in an upright manner, we will We can win. However, the price to pay will be relatively high. There is no immortal in war. As long as you can gain air supremacy, no matter how big the loss is, it is acceptable!" Marshal Albert Kesselring said.

   Indeed, after suffering a big loss last time, the Russian Air Force is ready this time. The air search radar obtained from the United States is deployed in a hidden place to monitor the airspace at all times. At the same time, Russian scientists are also carrying out reverse imitation based on these air search radars provided by the Americans, and even conducting research and development on this basis, so as to be able to develop more advanced air search radars for Russia.

   Not long after take-off, the German Air Force fleet had been spotted by the Russian air search radar before it crossed the actual control line between the two sides.

   "Damn it, the German attack has started again!" Seeing the dense dots of light on the radar screen, the radar commander of the Russian Air Force looked very ugly.

   "Call the airport quickly and let them take off fighter planes to meet the enemy. In addition, report to the superior immediately, the German attack has begun!"

   "Woo! Woo!"

  The shrill air defense sirens sounded on the major airports of the Russian Air Force, and the pilots ran out of their dormitories and ran to their planes.

  Ground crews are already helping to start these planes, and at the same time, pulling more planes out of the hangar, let these planes take off.

   "Quick, quick! Take off immediately. The Germans dispatched a large-scale fleet. They must be stopped!"

  A Yak-1 fighter was launched with the help of the ground crew, and with the help of the pilot, it flew into the sky.

   More planes follow, taking to the sky. Although the Luftwaffe is very powerful, advanced aircraft such as the Yak-1 fighter jet gave them a little courage to fight against the Luftwaffe. Even if they know that the Luftwaffe's fighter jets are more powerful, at least they are not as helpless as before.

   However, the number of Yak-1 fighter jets currently equipped by the Russian Air Force is still too small, and the entire German Air Force is equipped with less than 500 fighters. The monthly output has reached more than 300 after three shifts. But such output is obviously not enough for frontline consumption.

  This made the Russian Air Force still have to use the old I-16 fighter jets and the P-40 fighter jets supported by the Americans to deal with the Luftwaffe.

  After the German Air Force has replaced the more advanced FW-190 fighter jets, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for the Russian Air Force to compete with the German Air Force.

   "Comrade Marshal, the Germans have dispatched a large number of planes. The battle may have begun again." Marshal Voroshilov's secretary reported to him.

   Marshal Voroshilov's complexion suddenly became very ugly. Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later. However, he still didn't expect this day to come so soon.

   "Order the front-line armies to prepare for battle! This time, we must resist the German attack!" Marshal Voroshilov ordered with a serious face.

   At the same time, the commanders of other front forces of the Russian army also learned that the Luftwaffe had launched a large-scale deployment. Everyone also gave the order to prepare for battle.

  After the fighter jets of the Russian Air Force took off, they were also discovered by the air search radar of the Luftwaffe. The air search radar of the German Air Force has a detection range of 400 kilometers, far exceeding that of the Russian Air Force's air search radar. Even many airports of the Russian Air Force are within the detection range of the German Air Force's air search radar. The fighter planes of the Russian Air Force will be spotted as soon as they fly.

  The German Air Force Command immediately issued an order for the air wings to prepare for battle. Guide those FW-190 fighter jets, rush to the Russian Air Force fleet first, and protect the dive bombers and ground attack aircraft in the rear.
