Chapter 346: The German Ta-152 Fighter Group Makes Its First Appearance

More than 100 Leopard and Tiger tanks were covered by artillery fire, and they were stripped of their armor by the Germans as quickly as possible. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the dimmer starlight, the barrels of these tanks emitted a cold blue light and an awe-inspiring murderous aura.

And behind the tank there was a group of half-wheeled and half-track armored transporters, as well as armored vehicles; The vehicles were also armed with machine guns with long bullet belts, ready to kill enemy troops.

"The Anglo-American aviation units are ready to come over and bomb, and all tank units are waiting for the order to attack! As soon as our aviation units appear and drive away the enemy's air force, go to war! ”

Merkel, the commander of the tank regiment, gave an order to all the tank crews while staring at the battlefield in the distance with night binoculars.

At the same time, the commander of the armored regiment near him, Erhard, followed him and gave the same battle order.

After that, they took their troops to hide in the rear positions of the town of Jera Bay, waiting for the withdrawal of the Anglo-American air force.

At this time, the Gil-Olivo airfield had also been bombed by the air force of the British and American air forces, and the smoke was billowing out, and the buildings that had been blown up were all there.

Moreover, the more than 30 BF109 fighters parked on the airport were also bombed by the British and American air groups, turned into a pile of scrap metal, and fell to the ground hot.

However, it is very strange that at this moment there are still a large number of Italian soldiers and dozens of Renault light tanks, advancing inland towards the beachhead where Allen's 1st Division has landed.

However, before these Italian units reached their destination, they were attacked by the British and American paratroopers who had successfully landed and stopped their advance.

Moreover, the British and American cruisers were flying all over the sky and roaring shells, causing heavy casualties to the bombing.

Even another mechanized Italian army that wanted to sneak from Route 115 to the beachhead of the 1st American Division was fired at by British and American naval guns, and the air raids caused a terrible howl, killing and wounding a large number of people, and those tank groups were also bombed, many of them were blown into scraps, or exploded into fireballs.

"Hahaha! It looks like this battle must be our victory! ”

"Of course! We have dispatched so many troops by land, sea and air this time, if we can't win a complete victory, then how can we continue to fight those German troops? ”

"Yes, indeed! Look at it! We bombed two of the airfields in Cily, and the remaining two will soon be destroyed by us! ”

"Hey! It was nice to blow up their airfield, but I loved it more than ever to see the Italian tanks and the army units helpless against our air raids! It's cool to watch! ”

"Tsk! You're embarrassed to say it! You see how many Italian tanks you have blown up, not even 3, and you are still boasting! ”

"You can't be much better off us! If it weren't for the awesomeness of our naval guns, I don't think you would have blown up 2 Italian tanks! Hader! ”

"That's it! Don't brag to each other, we're going to blow up the other two major airports in Sicily! Otherwise, the German planes take off, and we will be in a bit of trouble! Fierce air battles with them! ”

"You're right! But why have we all been bombing for so long, and we haven't seen any Italian planes and German planes come out to meet them! ”

"Hahaha! Needless to say, maybe those Italian and German airfields will be destroyed by the air raids of our other air fleets! Just like the Fonteolivo airfield that we just blew up, their fighters and bombers were bombed by us! ”

"Possibly! But I always felt as if something was wrong, as if we were overlooking something! ”

"Tsk! What are you afraid of! We have more than 2,000 fighters over tonight, and even if all the German and Italian fighters are attacked, we don't have to fear them at all! ”

"That's right! It's good that they don't come out! As soon as they come out, let them entertain them well, so that they will not come back! ”

"Well said! We are here to annihilate these fascists! So what are we afraid of! ”

"Hey! That's right! The 1st Division commanded by Allen seems to have been counterattacked by the Germans, and is now asking for support from our air force! ”

"No, it won't! Are they so wretched? Can't even take a German position on a beachhead? Didn't they still have a large number of ships to land as cover? And didn't our fighter group just give them a large round of attacks on the defensive positions of the Italian army, and the enemy's positions were blown with smoke and dust, and they suffered heavy casualties? ”

"Yes! So I wonder if it's not been enough for 20 minutes to fight, and they're hurrying to ask for support from our air force! ”

"Hey! It seems that our air force is still strong, and these army forces are really wretched! ”

"Shall we go back to their support now?"

"We don't need to support them, the headquarters has already dispatched other brigades over, we should hurry up and bomb Catania Airport, the big airport in Sicily, and we must not let the German and Italian fighter groups rise into the air to fight!"

When the Battle of Sicily broke out, after the British and American air forces had won one initial victory after another, they began to be carried away by the victory, giggling and using the on-board radio to talk about it.

And slowly, towards the Catania airport, ready to bomb it into ruins.

At this moment, more than 660 Ta-152 fighters parked in the two largest airports in Sicily, Catania Airport and Palermo Airport, have also been successfully lifted into the air, and fierce air battles have begun with the pilots of the British American Air Corps.

And the pilots who flew these fighters were pilots of German client states, not German pilots.

"What kind of fighter jets are they, they're fast!"

"Get out of the way! Their combat performance is better than our P-38 Lightning, P-47 Thunderbolt, let our new fighter P-51 Mustang fight against them! Fast! ”

"It's too late! There are two enemy planes behind you at 5 o'clock! Get out of the way! ”

"Oh God! I can't escape, save me! ”

"Boom!"

When the British and American air forces just faced these Ta-152 fighter groups, they were all frightened by the superior combat performance of these new piston fighters.

But this sudden air battle was still going on tragically, and the pilots of the British and American air forces were constantly suffering casualties.

"Ask for help, we're no match for them! Come on! ”

"I'm already asking for help! Oh my God! When did the Germans have such an advanced group of fighters! ”

"Is our P-51 Mustang fighter group coming, I can't resist it, they're fast!"

"It's coming! Here they come, we are saved! ”

"Don't rejoice too soon! Our P-51 Mustang fighters are not as numerous as the Germans! ”

"Oh! O my God! So what do we do now? ”

"What else can I do! Kill them with numbers! ”

When one British and American plane after another was shot down and destroyed, the British and American airmen shouted in fear.

It's just that no matter how they shout, this fierce air battle is still going on brutally.

The slightest mistake would be shot down immediately, so the British and American pilots gradually calmed down from their fear and rose to fight.
