The distance of 100 meters may not seem far, but for these Anglo-Iranian troops who are attacking with the ferocious fire of the German army, it is like the end of the earth.

If they had a choice, they would rather run the 30km with 30kg of gear on their backs than run the 100m with Lee Enfield with 4kg on their backs.

"Hell! Damn it! Abt jumped out of the armored car and ran for about ten meters when he was crushed to the ground by the fierce and precise fire of the German army.

"Hey! Buddy! As soon as Abt lay down, he heard a call from the side, "Man! Over here! ”

Abt looked at the source of the sound suspiciously.

In a dense bush not far ahead, six or seven British officers and soldiers were hiding.

"Come here! Come here! A British non-commissioned officer shouted at him and waved to him.

Abt looked up at the German position, and after seeing that the Germans on the opposite side were not paying attention to him, he hurriedly crawled towards the bushes.

"Find a place to lie down, sir!" The non-commissioned officer who had shouted to him earlier reached out and pulled him into the bushes, saying, "Don't reveal your position!" The marksmanship of the Germans on the other side is simply terrible! ”

"Okay sir, okay!" Abt helped his steel helmet, "Sir, aren't you going to attack?" ”

"Attack? Sir, are you talking about offense? The non-commissioned officer laughed, he pointed to the dozens of corpses lying in the open space in front of the bushes, "Are you talking to me about attacking?" ”

Abt looked at the body, which was mostly Iraqi, but there were also more than a dozen wearing RAF uniforms.

But whether they wear British military uniforms or Iraqi military uniforms, they all have one thing in common, that is, the muzzle of the gun on the body is in a lethal place.

This terrifying sight made him swallow his saliva.

"Sir......" Abt hesitated, "what are we going to do?" ”

"There's no way, just wait while watching the show." The non-commissioned officer looked at the heroic Anglo-Iraqi troops who continued to charge under huge casualties, and said helplessly.

"Wait? What are you waiting for? ”

"Wait for the plane's support!" The non-commissioned officer looked at the sky in the direction of the airbase, "They should be coming soon, according to the plan, they should be coming soon!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a noisy engine sound was heard in the sky not far away, and soon, dozens of black dots appeared in the direction of the air base.

"They're coming!"

"We're coming! Guys! The Royal Air Force is coming! Aubrey roared excitedly as he maneuvered the old-fashioned two-winged Gladiator fighter.

"Aubrey, you bastard! Watch your posture! The leader of the flight formation nervously reminded loudly in the tactical channel that he was one of the only three pilots with actual combat experience in the entire flight formation, "We have few planes, and I don't want to lose a valuable fighter because of the pilot's stupid shouting at the beginning!" ”

"Alright sir." Aubrey adjusted his flight attitude and said embarrassedly.

"The 'Air Marines' don't seem to be doing very well." Just as the team leader was scolding Aubrey, a flight student piloting a temporarily modified "Oxford" training plane looked at the ground not far ahead of him and said.

"Indeed." The active Aubrey was the first to talk, he looked at the ground troops who were struggling to advance, and said, "But it's okay! Here we are, man, the RAF is coming! ”

"Haha, yes! This is our sky! Another pilot student laughed on the channel, "I don't believe that the Germans can defeat three without air supremacy?" ”

But as soon as he finished laughing, the plane shook violently twice, and he almost didn't have a roller, which scared him into a cold sweat.

Obviously, his skills have not been able to keep up with his heroism, they are a group of flight cadets after all, and it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes when it comes to battle.

"Don't talk nonsense, gentlemen, let's go back early when we're done early, don't delay my afternoon tea!" The team leader said solemnly, "Steady, boys, don't be nervous!" How you usually learn, how to do it now! ”

"Alright, guys, now start slowing down! Decelerate! Then hover to lower the height! Hover down the height! ”

With the clear instructions of the team leader, and the leadership of two other pilots with actual combat experience, the group of children successfully hovered the plane at the bomb drop altitude, although it still flew a little crookedly.

"First echelon! The first echelon of bombs is ready! The team leader saw that the flight formation had completed the order, so he gave the next order.

The first bombing formation consisted of nine Gladiator biplanes with two 250-pound (113 kg) bomb pylons, who were to drop the bombs as quickly as possible and then fly back to high altitude to cover the remaining aircraft.

Although Smart thought that the requirement to "react within 30 minutes of the attack and send planes to support the front line" was too difficult for the Royal Iraqi Air Force, he strictly followed the battlefield protocols, placing the fighters in the first echelon and allowing them to re-raise the cover formation as quickly as possible.

After briefly aiming at the target, the leader took the lead in pushing the control stick and drove the plane to dive towards the German position.

As the dive speed became faster and faster, the fuselage of the "Gladiator" fighter gradually trembled, like the hands of the leader who trembled with excitement.

150 meters, 130 meters...... The distance was getting closer, but the leader did not press the bomb button until he was close to the limit, and then threw two 250-pound bombs on the heads of the Germans.

Seeing the two bombs break away from the wings, the leader immediately pulled the control stick, and the old "Gladiator" biplane fighter let out a "sorrowful roar" with the leader's "violent operation", but thanks to the strong lift brought by the biplane's double-layer wings, the old plane still managed to pull up from the treetop height and reappear and flew high into the air.

There is no doubt that this was a bomb full of "performance" meaning, and the "performance" was very successful.

"Wow! Handsome! Aubrey exaggerated in the channel, "Captain! I'm going to learn from you, too! ”

"Haha!" The team leader was praised and smiled happily, but he laughed for a while and then ordered solemnly, "Aubrey, including all the flight cadets, I won't allow you to come like this!" It's a move you can't play, only a seasoned pilot like me can do! ”

"It's okay! I'll try, no, I promise it will pull up! And today's sky is for us, so let's take it as a class! Aubrey said eagerly.

It's a pity that as soon as he finished speaking, someone noticed that two small black dots appeared in the sky not far away.

"Enemy planes, enemy planes!" The team leader reminded loudly.

"Enemy aircraft? Iraqi? ”

"Probably...... No! Wrong! Damn it! It's German! It's 'Yellow Nose'! German ME109! ”
