Chapter 35 Chen Yanlong is determined to improve his weapons and equipment
"Hahaha! These Italians are so vulnerable! We only dispatched 70 bombers this time, and they didn't dare to say a word even if they hit them! ”
When you see the whole island of Pantelleria covered in more and more black smoke, Johnny? Campbell laughed gleefully. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Don't be distracted, the Italian Air Force inside Magana Airport has not been completely destroyed; Keep the bombing going! ”
While Fried continued to bomb Magana Airport, he turned a blow to Johnny Brown, who was following behind him. Campbell reminded over the radio.
“OK! Got it! ”
Johnny? Campbell shrugged his shoulders and agreed.
"Boom, boom! Rumble ......"
"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da! ”
So Johnny? Campbell continued to fly his B17 bomber, bombing while dropping bombs; While allowing the 12.7mm machine guns mounted on the rotating brackets behind each oval window, the MC?202 fighter group on the ground was attacked.
Under the rapid and rapid bombardment and strafing round after round; The few remaining MC?202 fighter groups at the Magana airfield have also been destroyed.
"Whew! Looks like we can call it a day this time! You see those Italians have been bombed by our planes, and there aren't many left! ”
When Johnny? Campbell grinned a big grin after dropping all the aerial bombs in his bomber.
"Wait for the orders of our captain!"
Looking at the entire Magana Airport with black smoke billowing out, Fried was also very satisfied and nodded.
"All flying teams are following orders, our bombing operation is over, and they are ready to turn around and evacuate!"
As soon as the words ended, Captain Robert's neutral voice came from their wireless headsets.
"Roger! Captain! ”
Johnny? Campbell: They replied in unison.
The 12th U.S. Bomber Group, which had only damaged a few planes, converged in one place and prepared to evacuate the island of Pantelleria, which they had bombed.
Only they had not yet flown far, and at eight o'clock in the direction of the German air force was spotted.
"Oops! There is an air force with the Germans, the captain! What are we going to do? ”
A squad leader named Straw, who had just spotted the appearance of the German army, suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Where?"
Group Leader Robert hurriedly asked.
"At 17 o'clock!"
Squad Leader Straw said anxiously.
"How many are there, and what kind of aircraft are there?"
"A lot, they're Messerschmitt BF109! Yes! No! They are also interspersed with FW190 single-engine light fighters behind them! ”
Squad Leader Straw panicked.
"Miserable! Captain, we also found German fighters here! They are showing up at 12 o'clock, 56 o'clock, and 20 o'clock...... No, they are now surrounding us on the island of Pantelleria from all sides! What do we do now? We have now run out of all aviation ammunition except for the machine gun that can be used! ”
At this moment, another team leader named Daniel was also panicked, and suddenly screamed on the radio.
"Don't panic, get through the air in dense formation, and use the bullets fired from our machine guns; Construct a terrifying network of fire in the air, so that the attacking aircraft of the German army will have a deterrent effect and stay away from us! Break out! ”
Captain Robert commanded loudly without thinking about it.
It was only as soon as he gave the order that he was confronted with him at nine o'clock; There are hundreds of FW190 single-engine light fighters, and 100 Messerschmitt ME210/410 twin-engine heavy fighters; In other directions, 200 Messerschmitt BF110s and other FW190 single-engine light fighter groups are clearly visible; There is also the Messerschmitt BF109 fighter group, which is fast, completing the encirclement, ready to encircle them!
"Shh
When he saw his 12th Bomber Group, he was instantly made dumplings by 800 German fighters; Captain Robert suddenly gasped, his eyes widened in horror, his scalp was numb, and he shivered all over!
"I'm grassing your mud horse! What are these Germans doing this time! Unexpectedly, such a large amount of blood money was spent at one time, and so many fighters were dispatched, this is the rhythm of coming to surround us! You are so despicable and shameless, bullying the more and the less, is there any heavenly reason! And the most tragic thing is that we are all bombers! How to cope with so many fighter groups! ”
Then Captain Robert was indignant, and he thundered in his heart, and roared with tears streaming down his face.
In fact, in addition to his big reaction, the other US troops, including the other personnel in the bomber, were also unwilling to complain about the same words.
And the one who yells the most is Johnny? Campbell, here and now; The excitement, elation, confidence and arrogance of the moment are completely gone.
Instead, fear, panic, and even overwhelm are felt.
"We have completed the encirclement of the 12th Bomber Group of the US Army, please give the order to attack!"
When the Luftwaffe completed the encirclement, each squad leader Du reported to his group leader.
"Roger, receive! Get ready for the dumpling-making action! Not a single American bomber can be spared! For the sake of our dead Imperial warriors, we fight! ”
Soon, the various group commanders began to issue combat orders.
As soon as the order was received, all the German fighter squadrons immediately launched a frenzied attack on the 12th Bomber Group of the US Army at an alarming speed.
"I, I don't want to die! I'm fighting with you! Germans! ”
When Johnny? Campbell saw a brightly coloured, cross-painted FW190 single-engine light fighter; At a very sharp speed, under the cover of the wingman, turn on the switch of the machine gun; Aiming for Johnny? Campbell's B17 bomber, which opened fire quickly......
In an instant, a life-and-death air battle was in full swing on the island of Pantelleria.
At this time, Chen Yanlong was still in his 'werewolf' headquarters, thinking about how to let his production equipment department produce some weapons and equipment that could immediately improve his army units.
For example, some of these weapons and equipment want to be replaced with gew43 semi-automatic rifles to replace 98K, because 98K is not superior in firepower compared to Britain and the United States after all, of course, what he wants to change most in his heart is an assault rifle, but it depends on whether Guderian has a way; He will make and produce those weapons and equipment according to the design drawings of his weapons and equipment.
In addition to the gew43 semi-automatic rifle, he also intends to immediately discontinue all single-function bombers such as HE111, HE177, DO217, etc., as well as those aircraft that are not useful for the war situation (such as BV222, HS129, etc.), and even BF109.
There are also R4M rocket launchers, which should also be installed as soon as possible and step up production to cope with bomber bombing.
It can also be mounted on Fw190 fighters, Bf109 fighters, and Bf110 fighters, which are used to break up the dense formation of the US Air Force.
Because these R4M rocket launchers were developed as anti-bomber weapons for the Air Force. Their design began with the 20mm MG151/20 cannon, which was small enough to be mounted inside the wing of fighter groups such as the Fw190.
There was also the German Stalker that could appear earlier, and it could be changed to an armored personnel carrier to replace the backward 251.
There is also the BMW 801 one of the most famous air-cooled engines during World War II, which should also be upgraded faster to increase horsepower, otherwise the FW190 upgrade will always be limited.
And to speed up the production of Wayne Herth? Feng? Dr. Braun led the development of the V2 rocket, and mass-produced JU88 bombing.
and, finally, whether to stop production of the Tiger tank as soon as possible, switch to the full production of the Leopard tank, and replace the 75L70 with the 88L56; To increase its output and holdings, and to make production easier, Chen Yanlong is also thinking hard.
"Whew! Let's just decide for now! However, in addition to these small improvements, I also need to equip and produce more advanced weapons and equipment, but Germany, a country that lacks all kinds of resources to make advanced weapons and equipment, is enough for me to have a headache to go there to find a lot of resources to produce these high-tech weapons and equipment? ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Yanlong finally sighed deeply and tiredly.
Then he shook his head, got up, stopped thinking about these troubles, and went to sleep.
For there were still hours to go, and it was dawn, and he had been busy for almost a whole day and a night.
