Unlike the high-spirited side of the American army, the German side was full of mourning. During the two days of air battles, the losses were so great that the Luftwaffe felt unbearable from top to bottom. Even the commander of the Air Force, the Nazi deputy marshal, Herman, who had long been focusing on politics, had already put his energy into politics. Field Marshal Goering, too, had to turn his gaze back to the Air Force.

Now the intentions of the Americans are already so obvious.

"Those Americans just want to use the window of time in which most of their fighter technology is superior to consume us. We can't just fall for them! An officer shouted at the meeting.

"But do you just let them bomb them?" Another officer asked weakly.

"Is there a difference between the current situation and letting them bomb? Can we stop the bombing now? Since we can't stop it, we will lose so many elite pilots, why do we continue? ”

"I am in favor that we should stop such interceptions. Do you remember the Battle of Britain? What did Dowding do when we started bombing London! He hid the elite, watched us bomb London, and then silently gathered strength, and finally gave us a hard blow! This war is a war of the whole country, and all people have the obligation to sacrifice! The British set an example for us! It's not that I'm not willing to sacrifice, I'm just against meaningless sacrifices! I think that such a decisive battle should be avoided until our main fighters regain their technological superiority, at least + one + book + read + novel xstxt to get rid of the technological inferiority! ”

"It's a different situation now than it was at the time of the Battle of Britain! At that time, our bombing intensity was completely incomparable with the bombing intensity of the Americans and the British now. And then they can hide in Scotland, which is out of our reach. But now, they can now send thousands of bombers at once, inflicting unbearable losses on Germany! Like, what do we do if they launch a series of attacks on Romanian oil fields? As soon as such a target is destroyed, our entire army cannot be maintained. How do we avoid war?

And even if we hide, people can still come to the door. If the Americans wanted to, their fighters could even fly directly from the British to the airfields of the Russians. Where can we hide? Can we still train without taking off? ”

"We can intensify anti-aircraft firepower and use anti-aircraft guns on top of one. Then produce ME-262 in full force, and when a certain number has been formed, launch a massive counterattack, just like Dowding did in the Battle of Britain! As for training, I don't believe that Europe is so big that the Americans can keep an eye on every piece of airspace with a magnifying glass. ”

"Alright, stop dreaming!" Herman?? Marshal Goering spoke, "The Führer will not agree!" ”

This assertion made the officer who was so vigorously preaching that he wanted to avoid the war for the time being immediately dumbfounded. He turned his attention to another high-ranking general in the conference, Field Marshal Sperler.

However, Marshal Sperler did not say anything. He sat there quietly, like a marble statue.

……

The meeting was inconclusive, and when it was time to adjourn, Field Marshal Sperler stood up, glanced at the officers present, and said:

"The situation is not optimistic, but we have to hold on for the long haul no matter what. To do this, you must learn to protect yourselves in air combat. ”

This last sentence was so profound that everyone was taken aback, and Goering stared at Marshal Sperler, but Marshal Sperler did not say anything, but sat down directly, and turned into a statue again.

……

It was nearly midnight after the meeting adjourned. In the car on the way back to the residence, Marshal Sperler said to the adjutant:

"Heinze, help me make arrangements, I'm going to meet the Führer."

……

The next day was another sunny day. And there will be no widespread rain in the next week. This was good news for the Allies, but not good for the Germans.

Because the weather was nice, of course the first two days went ahead. Early in the morning, the Yankees' fighter jets came out to bully people again.

The P-51s took up their respective cruising areas and began to spin around boredly. It will be almost an hour before the bombers get here. Before that, the fighters of the Germans would not have appeared.

Sure enough, about 40 minutes later, the sharp-eyed Rodriguez spotted a German fleet, but compared to the previous two days, the number of planes in this group was much less, a total of only 8 aircraft.

"What kind of reputation are the Germans, why are they so orderly?"

"Could it be that they are trying to use these planes as bait to trick us away?"

There was no need to keep the radio silent when performing the task of clearing the airspace, so everyone discussed it directly on the radio.

"Regardless of him, General Ron said that we fighter units never care who the enemy is or how many enemies there are. We just want to know where he is! ”

"But Ron Zhang Guang also said, keep our position and fight at a height that is favorable to us."

"Well, Hearts and Spades will go over and take a look, and the others will continue to maintain their heights."

Eight P-51 fighters of two squads began to break away from the group and fly towards the Germans.

Those eight FW-190s of the Germans are climbing. Unlike usual, though, they didn't climb with their maximum climb rate. They climb very slowly, which allows them to maintain a decent level of speed.

When the P-51 swooped down at high speed, the FW-190s all dodged the attack with a beautiful momentary turn. Then the American fighter pulled up at a large angle as usual and prepared to continue the BZ opponent, but unexpectedly, after the Yankees leveled up, they found that the eight FW-190s simply gave up and continued to climb, and after a dive, they ran to a low altitude.

"Give up the pursuit and return to formation." Just when the eight P-51s were about to chase after the poor man, the wireless power came with such an order.

"Hold your height and don't be deceived by people to go low. As long as they don't climb up, they can't threaten our bombers. So what is it about letting them fly at low altitudes? As if knowing the doubts of the people below, Rodriguez made this explanation.

…… During the day. Rodriguez's squadron went on two missions and encountered 4 groups of German fighters, which was no different from before. It's just that the number of planes in these German fleets has dropped a lot, and the fleet is full of aircraft such as BF-109 and FW-190, and none of the JU88 and BF-110 with anti-aircraft missiles have been seen. What is even worse is that these planes now give up climbing and run at low altitudes almost as soon as they see a group of US planes without saying a word. It seems that he does not intend to carry out the task of intercepting bombers seriously at all. What do the Germans want to do?

……

"What do the Germans want to do?" Ron frowned at the new battle report. On this day, the Germans basically did not launch any decent counterattacks, and the number of air battles between the two sides was less than a fifth of yesterday's. In this day's air battle, Ron's fighter unit lost only 10 aircraft, two of which were shot down by anti-aircraft guns. And they shot down only 14 German planes. This is the closest exchange ratio of air combat in the past few days. Li Mei's bombers did not receive even a single blow from the air. The most dangerous of all, ME-262, has not been seen at all. However, he still lost 22 bombers, all of which were fired down by ground anti-aircraft guns.

Obviously, the Germans' intention to avoid war was already obvious. The losses in the first two days were too great, and the Germans could not stand it. Moreover, most of the Germans also saw that their real purpose was to consume the Luftwaffe through such an air battle. So they don't play with the Americans anymore.

Now the basic strength of the Luftwaffe is still there. Jets are also being produced and perfected. Ron thought that if he was a German commander, he would definitely want to save his strength first, and then make a counterattack after he had accumulated a large group of ME-262s. Ron knew that the British were also developing jets, and the United States was also developing them. But these jets were too thirsty to quench their thirst, and secondly, and more importantly, the range of these planes was tragic, and they could not fly into German airspace at all. And a jet fighter with a range far away like the P-51, at least in this era, is completely Zenith technology. He had to find a way to force the Germans to come back to fighting.

And to do this, you have to rely on Li Mei's help.

……

"Well, I see what you mean." "You want me to intensify my blows and force the Germans out." ”

Li Mei said as she walked to a wall and pulled back the curtain that hung on the wall, revealing an oversized map of Europe.

"Let's look at what the Germans can do with attacking those targets."

Ron walked over, his gaze wandering over the map, and finally, he said to Li May:

"How's the Ploiesti oil field?" Ron asked.

"We attacked there in the first half of the year, and it didn't work much. However, the scale of that attack was limited, and it may be useful to increase the scale of the bombing. However, the Germans mainly get their fuel from coal synthetic oil, so these synthetic oil plants need to be added. But in this way, there are many goals. ”

"And what about the targets that will make the Germans flesh ache?" Ron asked.

Li Mei lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought, knowing that the cigarette was about to burn to her fingers, Li Mei spoke:

"Maybe we can talk to our ally Arthur?? Marshal Harris learn and give Berlin a great one! ”
