"Hartman, don't be impulsive. If we act recklessly, it's easy to give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it." Colonel Dames, who was in charge of leading the bomber force, comforted him.
Hartman shook his head: "Now that the Grand Duchy of Rees is determined, we will retreat to the Kingdom of Zero soon. Before that, I must destroy the Axis Volunteer Air Force, otherwise we will suffer significant losses when we retreat.
.”
Colonel Dames pondered: "I know your concerns, but the strength of our two sides is a bit different. Although we have shot down more than a thousand Axis aircraft, they still have at least six hundred fighters and more than four hundred.
We only have 270 fighters and more than 160 bombers. We are not their opponents when we fight directly," he said.
"Yes, we can't win directly against each other, so I plan to start a night battle." Hartman said.
"Night battle? This is impossible. Even our most elite air force has never conducted overnight battle training. Halt to engage in such a battle will undoubtedly commit suicide." Colonel Dames immediately objected.
Hartman sighed and said, "The Imperial Chinese Air Force had several successful night air battles as early as the last World War, and we have not been able to implement them until now."
Colonel Dames comforted him, "Those are all the credits of the elves. They have night vision, which we cannot compare to."
Hartman said: "My ideal is to become an absolute elite pilot and a king of the sky like the elf pilot of the Chinese Empire. Now all I lack is the record of night war, and I must do it."
Colonel Dames said: "Are you crazy? How can you return to your airport with our plane and land in the dark?"
Hartman laughed and said, "Yes, you're talking about all our difficulties, so I'm going to let the Condor Legion take off at four in the morning, we raid the Axis Air Force field airport in a low-altitude flight, and wait until we return to the airport successfully.
By the time it was already dawn and there would be no problem with our landing.”
"Yes." Colonel Dames also smiled and said, "This idea is good, let's prepare for action immediately." Hearing Hartman's thoughts, Dames felt enlightened. Although it was also dangerous to take off at night and fly in formation,
The elite pilots seem to be able to do it hard and choose the most difficult night landing to solve it, and Hartman's plan will be possible.
After the two commanders unified their thinking, the Air Force's logistics personnel began to overhaul the plane overnight, filling all participating aircraft with fuel and ammunition, and preparing for all combat. In order to take off more easily, all runways were installed for a long time.
The indicator lights are also installed on the nose, tail and wing of all aircraft for identification purposes.
Under Hartman's order, various combat aircraft of the Condor Legion began to draw the runway one after another, one after another, and after a loose formation, the fleet tried to volunteer to Nantes at a low altitude as much as possible toward the Nantes
The Air Force flew to the major field airports. He tried hard to grasp the driving rod, and Colonel Hartman did not dare to be careless at all. He could only rely on the level and electronic compass to adjust the direction and flight status, and try to keep the plane stable as much as possible.
If your hand shakes slightly, it is likely to hit the ground.
All Yaman pilots have the same difficulties. Fortunately, they are all elite pilots and their skills are very good. They can barely be competent for such night flights. Moreover, the best-skilled Colonel Hartman and Colonel Dames are flying.
The front pilot will not make any major mistakes as long as others look at the taillights of the front pilot aircraft.
Half an hour later, the fleet of the Condor Legion began to separate. They became five mixed aircraft groups of fighter jets and bombers, flying towards their respective targets. The airports of the Nantes Volunteer Air Force were not far apart, so they only passed by.
After ten minutes, they had found their goals.
Hartman and Dames reported this operation, and the Yaman government also attached great importance to it. They activated several spies in the Grand Duke of Rees, and recruited many volunteers to carry out the aircraft.
On the ground navigation, these people pretended to be wanderers and lit many fires on the wasteland along the way. Following the instructions of these fires, the Condor Legion quickly found the airport.
Since there is no concept of night air raids, the field airports of several Axis powers have no light controls. At this moment, the brightly lit hangars, towers and dormitory barracks have become the best targets of the Condor Legion.
"Follow me to start bombing." Colonel Dames said the order and drove his Junker 87a dive bomber to lower the altitude first. Since it was night, he did not conduct his best dive bombing, but instead adopted the ordinary
Low-altitude horizontal bombing.
The noisy engines of the planes in the sky became louder and louder, and they quickly woke up the Axis Air Force troops who were still sleeping. They looked at the dark night sky strangely, not knowing where these sounds came from, but they soon understood.
.
The huge aviation bomb was first dropped on the runway. The powerful charge burst out with huge power under the trigger of the fuse, and a large pit with a diameter of more than ten meters was blown up in the middle of the runway. This runway was in a short time.
It's scrapped.
One bomber after another dropped bombs at low altitude, blowing the runway and the apron into a sea of fire. The fighter troops led by Colonel Hartman were also not idle. The bf109e fighter could also carry two small bombs weighing 50 kilograms.
At this moment, they dropped all these incredible bombs onto the pilot's dormitory area.
To increase the effect, Colonel Hartman's fighter aircraft brought in incendiary bombs this time. When two fifty kilograms of white phosphorus incendiary bombs fell to the ground, a ball of flames exploded, and everything on the ground became clear.
The bomb did not go out, but quickly ignited nearby trees and wooden roofs. The blazing fire illuminated everything, including the Axis pilots who were running around.
Seeing these pilots, Colonel Hartman's eyes were red. He pushed the operating rod and the plane dived down at a small angle, chasing the running pilots. The fighter entered a low altitude, and Hartman pressed both fire buttons.
After going down, the thirty-mm cannon and two thirteen-mm machine guns rang out at the same time. Three flames chased the pilots of the Axis powers, splashing blood mist.
The pilots who were shot by the thirteen-mm machine gun were beaten into two pieces and died directly on the grass. The people who were shot by the thirty-mm machine gun were even more miserable. They could not even find their entire bodies, and wait until the battle ended.
Afterwards, all the corpse collectors could find were just some broken pieces of meat.
When Hartmann massacred those Axis pilots, other Yaman fighter pilots also followed suit. They also used mounted incendiary bomb lighting to start the massacre.
This unexpected night air strike almost destroyed the Axis Volunteer Air Force. More than 800 aircraft were destroyed on the apron, and the pilots also suffered more than 500 losses, which almost caused the senior air force leaders of various countries to collapse.
These pilots are all elites of the Axis powers. The three governments originally planned to allow them to gain certain practical experience on the battlefield. When they return to China after the war, they can use their rich practical experience to train new pilots to improve the overall pilots of their own country
The quality, but it all turned out to be here.
The Axis powers, who were angry, immediately ordered the army to launch an attack. After directly capturing Coimbra, the army rushed towards Barrelu, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Rees.
After all, the victory of air combat cannot replace the ground war. After the bomber group of the Condor Legion attacked the Nantes Volunteers several times, the Boston Empire transported a large number of anti-aircraft guns. With these equipment, the effect of aircraft bombing became worse and worse, and in the South
After the Texas Volunteers approached Barrelu, Hartman had to order the Condor Legion to transfer to the Kingdom of Zero. If they did not leave, their airport would face the artillery fire of the Nantes Volunteers.
The failure of the Grand Duchy of Rees is a matter of time sooner or later, and the fate of the Sardinian mercenaries is not much better. Faced with the desperate attacks of the rebels, these Sardinians are not firm in fighting. After all, this is not for their own country.
If the battle is exchanged for life with the opponent, it will be too unworthy. Therefore, under Franco's various attacks, Sardin mercenaries retreated to Ojosne to defend.
The retreat of Sardinian mercenaries and the crisis of the Grand Duchy of Rees have tremendously damaged the Allied Fleet, but the eight aircraft carriers and fourteen battleships of the Boston Storm Ocean Fleet have arrived in the Nantes Empire, and they have completely cut off the seas of the Yaman Empire supporting the Grand Duchy of Rees.
Route, and at this time the Yaman Empire's navy had only four aircraft carriers and six battleships. The other new warships were lying on the ship platform like Saar and Nantes, and they could not compete with the Boston Empire at all, so they could only do it.
Just stare.
The Chinese Empire has long seen the crisis in the Siro Kingdom. In order to better understand the situation, the Imperial Joint Command even applied to the Chinese Consortium to move three synchronous spy satellites over the Sero Principality to carry out wars there.
Twenty-four hours of uninterrupted observation, although the satellite's accuracy is not high enough, it is enough to observe the large-scale operations of both sides on the battlefield.
After discovering the decline of the Allies Group, the Joint Staff had a fierce debate, and finally Fang Ruijun joined in. After analysis and explanation, everyone agreed that the control of the Kingdom of Zero by the Axis was Boston.
The Empire is assured of the best situation to fight against the Allies.
Therefore, the Chinese Empire only needs to strengthen its economic support for the three allies, so that its national strength can grow rapidly, and it can adopt a laissez-faire attitude towards the Kingdom of Zero. Therefore, after the first batch of weapons and subsequent aircraft support, the Chinese Empire will not be able to face Zero.
The civil war was supported, and even after Carlos I issued a written request, the Chinese Empire blocked it back on the grounds that the Chinese Empire's army was inconvenient to intervene, but the Chinese Empire also told Carlos I that if
His regime was subverted, and the Chinese Empire was willing to provide him with political refuge.
