Chapter 1103: Joseph's Anger
"Marshal, our air strikes are over. More than thirty predetermined targets for attack, all destroyed! "Edward? Admiral Milch, with a smile on his face, to Albert? Marshal Kesselring reported.
"Whew!" Albert? Marshal Kesselring was relieved when he heard this.
Although, he is undoubtedly very confident in the Luftwaffe's operation this time. However, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents during the operation. Now, hearing the news of success, the heart he had been hanging on was finally put back in his stomach.
"Are we losing a lot?" Albert? Marshal Kesselring asked.
"Your Excellency, our losses are not great. We don't know exactly what happened at this point, but in general at the moment, our losses are very small. Only a very small number of fighters were shot down by the ground anti-aircraft fire of the Burussians. All the losses added up will not exceed twenty! "Edward? Admiral Milch said.
Albert? Marshal Kesselring nodded, this time the Luftwaffe dispatched more than 3,000 fighters, and only lost less than 20 fighters, such a battle loss is undoubtedly very small. Especially when compared to the results they achieved, such losses were simply insignificant.
"Your Excellency Marshal, judging from the news of the return from the front, the Russian Air Force has no defense against our attack at all. Most of their fighters were destroyed by us at the airfield. There are very few who can really take off to meet the battle. Moreover, even those fighters that take off, once they take to the skies, are just targets shot down by our fighters. It can be said that our strength is much stronger than that of the Russian Air Force! "Edward? Admiral Milch said.
"That's inevitable. Under the attention of His Majesty the Emperor, the development speed of the Imperial Air Force in recent years has been very fast. We are armed with some of the most advanced fighter jets in the world. Even the BF-109 fighter is currently incomparable to us among other countries, not to mention that we are equipped with a lot of F-190 fighters. In addition, the training of our pilots is also the most complete in the world. This naturally enables our air force to occupy an absolute advantage in battle. Many of the efforts made over the years have been in vain, and this will give us a great advantage in the war. What we have to do next is to further expand this advantage until the war is finally over! "Albert? Marshal Kesselring said.
"Your Excellency, the development of the TA-152 fighter is also progressing very smoothly. It is expected that in another two or three years, it will be possible to equip the troops. At that time, the superiority of the Imperial Air Force will be further expanded. The gap between other countries and the Imperial Air Force will be further widened! ”
Albert? Marshal Kesselring nodded, TA-152 fighter, Jedi is the pinnacle of propeller fighters. Although mass production has not yet begun, he is very satisfied with the progress. This will give the Luftwaffe a firm advantage in fighter performance.
Albert? Marshal Kesselring knew that what Emperor Qin Tian attached more importance to was undoubtedly jet fighters. However, no breakthrough has been made in the development of jet engines at present. But Albert? Field Marshal Kesselring believed that, judging by Germany's huge investment in this area, it would not be long before it would succeed. This will allow the Luftwaffe to still have a firm advantage.
While the Luftwaffe rejoiced at the success of the air strike, Moscow's Kremlin was enveloped in a storm.
The news that the Luftwaffe dispatched a large number of warplanes to attack the front-line airfields of the Russian Air Force was gathered in front of Joseph as soon as the air raid ended. More than thirty airfields, close to being destroyed. More than 2,000 fighters of various types were all destroyed. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Russian Air Force. You must know that at the beginning of the war, they deployed almost 40 percent of the strength of the air force to the front line.
The Buen-Russian side also knows that Germany attaches great importance to the air force, which can be seen from the last world war. Therefore, the Buenos and Russians are also on guard against this. It's just that what they didn't expect was that the strength of the Luftwaffe would be so powerful, far beyond their expectations. Just the first round of attacks caused heavy losses to the Russian Air Force. In the future, the Russian Air Force will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage. This will undoubtedly be very unfavorable for the next battle between Buenos and Russia.
"I need an explanation why our air force is so vulnerable in front of the Germans!" Joseph said in a cold tone.
Several of the Bu Russian air force generals suddenly felt cold all over their bodies, as if they were in a cold winter.
"Comrade Joseph, this time the Germans launched a surprise attack, and we did not expect at all that they would send their air forces at this time to strike a massive blow at our airfield. Therefore, in the absence of defense, there will be such a big loss. "The commander of the Air Force, Colonel-General Novikov, reported.
"Unprepared? Didn't I give the order to bring you into combat readiness? Joseph was furious.
"Comrade Joseph, as soon as we gave the order for combat readiness, the German warplanes were already flying over our airfield." The Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Colonel-General Golovanov, replied.
Such an answer obviously did not satisfy Joseph, and he almost gave the order to directly dismiss the two guys and let them go to Siberia to dig potatoes. It's just that after the purge, there are not many talented generals in the Burussian Air Force, and after the removal of these two guys, there is no one to replace them. Therefore, Joseph could only suppress the anger in his heart.
"Comrade Joseph, the performance of our fighters is also significantly inferior to that of the German Air Force. As a result, our fighters who were lucky enough to rise into the air were shot down by the Germans very easily. Admiral Novikov continued.
Joseph couldn't help frowning, he had long been aware of the gap between the two sides. It's just that if the aviation industry wants to catch up with the Germans, it will be very difficult, and it will not happen overnight.
"This time, I'm not going to deal with you two yet. But I don't want a next time for something like this. The air force rushed now and gave me a way to fend off the German attack. In addition, new fighters must also increase investment and speed up the development progress! Joseph ordered.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph!" Both Colonel-General Novikov and Colonel-General Golovanov replied. At this time, both of them have a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.
