After all, Shirek is not Stalin, and he has not broken into the top of Moscow, but what Shirek knows is that no matter what Stalin sends, he will not be able to bargain on his side!

"It seems that we will have to move more troops into Spain. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ciric said: "No matter how fierce the enemy is, we will have a firm faith, General Franco, please don't worry, with the help of our Germany, we will definitely be able to achieve the final victory!" ”

This is what Franco wants, now, the He51 supported by Germany is just an old plane, and in the face of the weapons in the hands of the current Spanish government, it can still gain some advantages, and if it is to face the international column, it is likely to face the risk of falling behind.

It is said that the Soviet Union will send thousands of pilots over, and the Soviet Union will also get the most advanced I-15 and I-16 planes!

Ciric's attitude reassured Franco, Franco was quite satisfied with Ciric's reply, if Germany also got their latest fighters, then don't worry, I heard that the German BF109 is a very advanced aircraft, even the Imperial Air Force Commander Goering is full of praise.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the runway, and the cockpit canopy of the fighter plane shimmered red.

With Ciric's arrival, Franco regained his confidence.

Ahead, it's Badajoth! If you get through Badajoz, then you can put the armies of the north and the south together, and then, attack Madrid!

This autumn in Spain is destined to be tragic!

A large number of planes were constantly transferred to the field base in Bacarrotta, and after learning that the Soviets were going to reinforce Spain, Ciric quickly ordered the transfer of the air force.

The He51, which was also soon reduced to the level of a bomber, was secretly transferred to Spain with a full metal skin and a closed cockpit BF109.

The east was just turning white, and the sky was dark.

The tarmac of the airport was already full of fighter planes, the fuel was refueled, the planes could be started at any time, and the pilots wearing flight caps were looking at the commander in front of them with adoring eyes.

"This is our first large-scale operation of the Condor Legion, we must show our momentum!" Ciric lectured the pilots in front of him: "The skies of Spain belong to our Condor Legion, and the other air forces will either be destroyed by us in the air or on the ground!" Now, I declare that Operation Eagle Strike has officially begun! ”

Operation Eagle Strike, this is the first large-scale air operation planned by Ciric after entering Spain, the goal of this operation is to destroy all the fighters that the Soviet Union has provided to Spain, those planes that nominally belong to the international column!

Now, the focus of the contention between the two sides is Badajoz, a transportation hub in southern Spain, where rebels in the north and rebels in the south are trying to get through and converge between the north and the south.

And in the eastern part of Badajoz, in Calsada, a temporary air base was built, and pilots from the international column flew it, so that they could quickly take off and guard the sky over the city of Badajoz.

In this era, unlike in later generations, there was an advanced satellite reconnaissance system, and the intelligence officers under Ciric analyzed the sortie routes of the planes of the international column for five or six days, and finally fixed the other party's airfield in the town of Calsada.

It was the latest base to be built, and there were more than fifty warplanes deployed in it, all of which were the latest I-15 and I-16 fighters aided by the Soviet Union!

Therefore, Ciric took a group of staff members and planned this Eagle Strike operation.

Let those Soviet pilots in the name of international columns know how powerful the Luftwaffe is!

It's officially started!

One by one, the pilot quickly ran back to his cockpit and, with the help of the ground staff, started the engine.

Hans Ulrich Rudel, climbed into his cockpit, he turned on his headphones, and he heard a voice coming from inside: "Stuka squadron, take off first!" ”

Stuka! This is the latest dive bomber developed by Germany.

At the beginning, at the suggestion of Ciric, a bomber-to-warship battle was conducted, and in that exercise, the He51 falling from the sky gave Hitler a rather strong shock, that is, from that time on, Hitler liked dive bombing.

At that time, Goering was also deeply touched, so a new model specializing in dive bombing was born, which is the JU-87, the model is commonly known as Stuka, which is based on the abbreviation of the German writing of the dive bomber "Sturzkampfflugzeug".

If you look at it in shape, Stukka's characteristic seagull-like double-curved wings are its most obvious features, the fixed thick and powerful landing gear, and the characteristic howling, which spread almost throughout World War II.

And now, this model, which has just been finalized, has only been delivered to the Air Force 20 aircraft, of which 6 have been sent to the Spanish battlefield.

This is a professional bomber! Prior to this, the Condor Regiment used Ju-52 transport aircraft for bombing missions, which could only be used when air supremacy was completely seized!

With the addition of the international column, with the support of the Soviet Union, it is impossible for this kind of transport aircraft to go to the battlefield again, and it is right to return to his old job, professional bombing, you have to hand over to professional bombers!

This was Hans's first combat flight, and his brilliant life began from there.

In later generations, Hans held a high position in World War II, for example, he was the highest-ranking German to be awarded in the war.

He was even awarded the Knight's Cross, the Knight's Cross with Two Swords and Diamonds, which was made specifically for him as a symbol of the highest honour of the German army. The creation of this medal was largely motivated by Rudel's achievements.

What is Hans's record?

He destroyed 5 tanks enough to form 5 full-fledged Soviet armored brigades, as well as 150 artillery positions, almost 1000 other vehicles, 70 landing ships, 2 La-3 fighters, 1 IL-2 strike aircraft, sank the battleship "Marat", and also sank 2 more cruisers and 1 destroyer ...

His record is unmatched. Of course, he has also been shot down 32 times and has a record of 2,530 combat sorties, what does this record represent? During his 6 years of combat career, he made an average of more than one sortie a day, without vacation or rest!
