Chapter 159: Stuka Takes Off (Plus 1)

At the same time, Hans was a fierce warrior loyal to the Empire, and in the latter part of World War II, he once asked for a suicide attack, but was stopped by his superiors. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In February 1945, he was wounded in the right thigh by anti-aircraft fire and subsequently amputated. Although he returned to combat duty after being fitted with a prosthetic leg.

And the next month, he volunteered to fly to Berlin, surrounded by Soviet troops, to rescue Hitler. Such people are the pillars of the empire!

It's an eagle, just like flying in the sky, and Hans, that's how it feels, although he only entered the air force last year, which is a year earlier than his historical experience, but now, he is completely a veteran pilot, when he flies the fighter, it seems to feel that he and the fighter are integrated.

Moreover, after he completed flight training, he was assigned to the newly formed squadron of dive bombers.

"Stuka squadron received." Hans said that at this time, the engine in front had been started, and the Jumo 210Ca engine, with one roar after another, released the brakes, and the Stuka bomber, from the tarmac, slowly slid towards the runway, and at the beginning of the runway, six bombers, formed a formation.

"Stuka squadron, take off immediately." Hans shouted to his squadron over the radio, and then he pushed the throttle stick to the maximum.

The engines in front roared, bursting out with six hundred and forty horsepower, the propellers spun rapidly, and Stuka was on the runway, sliding quickly.

Gently pulling the operating lever, the Stuka bomber was out of the ground, and under the belly, the 500-kilogram bomb was extremely dazzling.

During World War II, Stuka was eventually equipped with more than 1,400 horsepower engines, and now, with only 640 horsepower, carrying half a ton of bombs, Stuka can take off with ease, which is enough to show that the aircraft is well designed.

Behind the Stuka squadron was the He51 squadron, and after the arrival of the BF109, the He51, a biplane, finally no longer had to take on air combat missions, and they switched to ground bombing missions.

A squadron of He51 fighters, sixteen of them, carrying two 250-kilogram bombs, took off, and when the group took off, a BF109 squadron was the last to sortie.

When in formation, the BF109 was placed at the rear, and it had to undertake the most important escort mission, which seemed to bring a risk to the bomber fleet in front, in fact, this risk was almost minimal.

Because, the excellent maneuverability of the BF109 is enough to make up for the gap in the backward distance, they are fast, firepower, and can catch up and protect at any time.

At the same time, this is also to avoid early exposure.

When the Stuka squadron took off, it did not continue to climb at all, almost a few hundred meters in the air, maintaining altitude, flying forward, and the same was true of the He51 fleet that followed behind.

Ultra-low-altitude flight! This is Stuka's forte, and this kind of bombing method will not be outdated until future generations, and the person who gives it a sudden blow!

Bombers can fly at ultra-low altitudes, but fighters are not suitable, and the escort of fighters is more suitable at high altitudes, so that when the situation is discovered, they can dive down from high altitudes at any time to provide support!

So, the BF109 fleet, took off last, and at the same time, after takeoff, they began to climb, and according to the pre-planned course of action, the group headed north, maintaining radio silence.

This was the first large-scale bombing campaign, and the Condor Legion dispatched more than fifty warplanes!

Ciric watched the fleet leave, then returned to his tent and waited for the battle report ahead.

Although Ciric also wanted to go together, Ciric also knew deeply that as a commander, his post was in the rear, although since he had crossed here, it was impossible to die easily, but this kind of indifferent adventure still had to be prevented.

Will this operation be successful? Ciric was full of confidence that he would definitely succeed and dealt a heavy blow to the international columns, telling them that Europe was not for them to interfere!

Calsada, this is an ordinary town in Spain, at this time, the autumn breeze is refreshing, and it is harvest season.

Unfortunately, the war left the farmland barren, and in such a time of turmoil, even if the crops were sown, it was impossible to reap anything! Moreover, in recent years, the system has been constantly changed, the farmland has been nationalized, the farmland has been divided among the peasants, and so on, so that few people trust the government anymore.

And in this barren land, the same crushed and leveled land has been turned into a flying runway.

The International Column, supporting the Left Alliance, defeats Franco's rebel army!

On one side of the runway, there is the tarmac, where dozens of planes are gathered on one side of the tarmac, and in the nearest position, there are several fighters that have just been transported, which are being assembled.

Lieutenant Colonel Debes stood on the tarmac, looking at the fighter plane being assembled, his heart full of anticipation.

This is the latest I-15 fighter, and in recent days, the air patrol has encountered the German side, and it is still a He51 biplane, so the advantages of this new aircraft are considerable.

In appearance, the I-15's fuselage is short and thick, and the fuselage is mainly made of wood, which looks cute and cute. The nose of the nose was bulky, which was designed to fit into the M-63 air-cooled engine.

At the same time, the back of the fuselage began to shrink rapidly, and this body definitely looked like a middle-aged woman who ate fat all day long.

This is an advanced monoplane designed and built by the Soviets, and many records have been set, for example, the retractable landing gear was the first to be used, and the variable pitch propeller was also the first to be adopted.

With the arrival of this aircraft, it will always have air superiority over the rebels.

Lieutenant Colonel de Bes, retired from the Soviet Red Army and came to Spain, already the head of the Air Force of the International Column, knew how heavy the burden was on his shoulders.

Now, the rebels are preparing to attack Badajoz, and the air force here needs to protect Badajoth!

"Install the wings!" One of the engineers shouted that the fuselage was secured, and the next thing was to install the wings!

A few people scrambled to lift the wings and align them in position, and the plane, which was mainly made of wood, was quite lightweight.

"Commander!" Seeing Lieutenant Colonel Debes coming, the engineer in charge shouted to him enthusiastically.

"Well, everyone's worked hard." Debes said.

These planes were brought in in the middle of the night, and after arriving here, the ground crews and engineers of these international columns began to be busy.
