Chapter Thirty-Six: Kesselring Taught a Lesson
"Whoosh!"
A WGr21 rocket hit the B-17 bomber piloted by Fried at a rapid speed in an instant. Let it take a heavy blow and crumble. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The guy who fired the WGr21 rocket at him was the German pilot Hugo? Frey, piloting an FΟ-190A-6/R1 fighter with six 20mm MG151 guns.
"Whoosh!"
It was just that the B-17 bomber that Fried was flying did not sway for long, and the German pilot Wilhelm also flew his FΟ-190A-6/R1 fighter; From an altitude of up to 4,500 meters, tumbling and diving; The B-17 bomber piloted by Fried was supplemented with an additional WGr21 rocket.
"Boom! Splatter! β
The B-17 bomber piloted by Fried suddenly exploded from the state of black smoke billowing out, and exploded in an instant. There were eight people in the plane, and none of them had a chance to survive.
With Fried's death, the 12th U.S. Bomber Group was immediately wiped out.
Including Johnny, who was killed early in the morning? Campbell, and Captain Robert.
After returning victoriously, all the survivors of the Luftwaffe were smiling and contented.
Quite simply, because they lost only 8 Messerschmitt BF109s and more than a dozen pilots in this battle; The 70 B-17 bombers and the 560 US Air Force of an entire bomber group were completely annihilated.
This was the first time since the North African campaign that the Luftwaffe had ever performed such a brilliant record.
Although the number of planes they dispatched this time was 10 times that of the US military; But the atmosphere after the victory was still very good.
So the next day, when the sun was just out of the sky, and the earth was just full of life; Kesselring, commander-in-chief of the German army on the Southern Front, was proud and energetic; He cleared his throat in high spirits, and was about to call Chen Yanlong to report the good news.
"How can I say it! How can you get better appreciation and merit! And those fighters that the FΓΌhrer promised me, are they really there! β
Before picking up the phone, many thoughts immediately crossed Kesselring's mind, and he muttered to himself.
But soon, he still got through Chen Yanlong's personal phone call in the Ukrainian 'werewolf' command post.
It's just that I have been talking for a long time, but I haven't been answered by Chen Yanlong.
So Kesselring only went to the operator in the 'Werewolf' command to report Chen Yanlong's call to him.
About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Yanlong, who was sleep-deprived, called Kessellin back angrily.
"Yuan, FΓΌhrer! Amazing news! Our Air Force has made a great victory! Yesterday, we dispatched 800 fighter planes to annihilate the 12th US Bomber Group that attacked Magana Airport in one fell swoop. β
As soon as he heard Chen Yanlong's callback, Kessellin immediately smiled brightly, and asked for merit with a lovely smile.
"Are you so ambitious, so wasteful? Shoot down a mere 70 bombers and happily fly into the sky? Don't you forget that this time you dispatched 800 fighters to surround people and set up 70 bombers, and you are not afraid of others saying that you are a bully? There is also the news of the US military's sneak attack on Magana airport, or I gave you a tip-off! Ay! I really don't know how to say hello to you! Kesselring, what is there to be in the elation of such a victory! And now we are facing a great number of enemy troops, and you have only won so few air battles; So excited, so in the future, will you be able to deal with it calmly? β
For Kessellin's happiness, Chen Yanlong, who didn't sleep enough, couldn't help but roar angrily after hearing this.
"Ahh This ......"
Chen Yanlong's reaction was completely unexpected by Kessellin.
He was scolded by Chen Yanlong for a while, and he was dumbfounded; His face was flushed, embarrassed, and speechless.
"And we have annihilated an entire bombing group of the US army this time, and I believe that the other side will soon send a large number of air forces to retaliate! At that time, the major industrial cities and the capital of our homeland will be subjected to their crazy revenge and indiscriminate bombardment! At that point, I really don't know how many civilians in our country will be killed and injured! So you say I'll be able to be happy when I hear your good news? Thinking about the insane revenge of the enemy army, I will be restless, unable to sleep, and tasteless! β
"This is not because our air force is too weak now, and our air defense capability is simply about to lose all air supremacy! Moreover, our fighters and pilots have also lost too much in the war in the past few years; Now it is a big problem to quickly replenish a large number of pilots! β
"And you should know that for a prospective pilot who enlists in the Luftwaffe, from the time he joins our Luftwaffe to the time he enters the Air Force replenishment; A fighter or dive bomber pilot must undergo a minimum of 13 months, or 150-200 flight hours, before he can be officially qualified and ready for combat! And if it's a bomber, or reconnaissance pilot; Then their training will have to undergo a minimum of 20 months, that is, 220-270 flight hours, before they can be sent out on missions! β
Before the scolded bloody Kessellin could catch his breath and ease up, Chen Yanlong continued to split his head and cover his face, and kept teaching a lesson.
Kesselring, who was scolded as if he was confused, stood at this moment like a wooden man, with a red face.
For a while, he didn't know how to answer Chen Yanlong's scolding and lessons, because he knew that what Chen Yanlong said was right.
"I'm sorry! Monarch! It was me who was wrong! I should not be so overjoyed that I forget that our enemy forces have not been really badly wounded or defeated by us! β
After a long time, Kesselring apologized awkwardly and sincerely.
"It's good to know it's wrong! Don't forget that not only our enemy forces have not yet been defeated; And our 130,000 German soldiers besieged on the Bang Kok Peninsula have not yet been released! β
Hearing Kesselring's apology, Chen Yanlong's anger gradually subsided, and he said softly.
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing this, Kessellin was suddenly covered with black lines, speechless, and wanted to hit the wall.
"What bad luck did I have today! I obviously wanted to take credit, but now it's a good change to become the target of anger vented by the Yuan starter! Oh my God! If I had known, I wouldn't have called so early and happily to report the good news! β
At the same time, Kesselring gradually complained in his heart, with tears streaming down his face.
"Forget it, I think our 130,000 German soldiers on the Bang Kok Peninsula are still more than lucky! That's all for today's conversation! I'll think about how to reward all the pilots who win the air battle at Magana airport! Think about it, I'll call you right away! As for the 500 new planes I promised you, you send 500 pilots to Ukraine to receive them! Because in order to avoid the enemy's intelligence agents and the reconnaissance of the intelligence network, I will not send someone to transfer you in Berlin! β
Ignoring Kesselring, who was suddenly silent, Chen Yanlong continued.
"Ahh Ukraine? β
Kesselring, who came back to his senses, was full of doubts about the why.
"Just do what I tell you to do! I'm very busy right now! Later, I'm going to have a battle meeting with Manstein and them in the 'Werewolf' headquarters to discuss how our fortress operation should be fought! β
Chen Yanlong impatiently cut the nail on the ground and said the final word.
"Doodoo ......"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Yanlong immediately hung up the phone and continued to sleep.
ββ¦β¦β
Kesselring, on the other hand, was stupid and embarrassed to hold the disconnected phone, trembling with anger.
"Grass you mud horse ......"
After a while, Kessel lost control of his emotions and said in a deafening voice.
