The battle between the British army and the German and French forces on the ground has become more and more intense, and the British Air Force has not stopped fighting with the Italian and French air forces in the air.

With the weak alliance of the Italian and French air forces, the competition between the three countries around the air is likely to intensify.

As General Wavell said, to have air supremacy is to have the initiative in the war.

In fact, the British army was unable to grasp air supremacy, and the Italian and French coalition forces were defeated and retreated one after another, which can be said to be a laughing stock of the Italian and French armies on the battlefield of World War II.

Now, French and Italian bombers are teaming up to bomb the British on Heights 4.

The bombing group consisted mainly of the Italian Air Force withdrawn to Algeria, supplemented by two French bombers.

There is no way, the air force in Birant's hand is not much, and even the scale of the army is also recruited and expanded by him on the spot.

The Italian Air Force, which is the main force, includes a total of 5 fighters and 12 bombers, that is, it is an Italian Air Force bomber squadron that carries out bombing missions.

Although the British army also dispatched fighters to penetrate and intercept them, they were unable to stop all of them because they were inferior to the Italian fighters.

Although the quality of the Italian fighters is far inferior to that of the British fighters, it is all thanks to the Italian fighter pilots this time, who have indeed exerted a rare spirit of fearlessness, and they have played an extraordinary level in the face of the British fighters whose flying quality is much better than them, and they are almost engaged in aerial dogfights with the British fighters in an exchange ratio of 1:1.

In the course of the air battle, one of the Italian fighters was unable to shoot because of the damage to the machine gun on board. And at that moment, the Italian fighter pilot actually shot at the British fighter with a pistol (the Italian fighter is open-topped, this is not a joke, it is a fact), after all the bullets were fired, the Italian pilot showed his courage and courage, and drove the fighter towards the British fighter, because the Italian plane carried a large amount of ammunition, the explosion also affected other British planes around.

It has to be said that Balbo, a former veteran of the Italian Air Force and Governor of Libya, who was killed by his own people, has created a good foundation of courage for the Italian Air Force, especially the Libyan Air Force. Although he didn't have a chance to see it, the Italian Air Force is indeed the best performing branch of the Italian army.

The two fighters collided violently, like a brilliant firework blooming in the air. The squadron of Italian bombers, which was responsible for providing fire support to the 5th Division of the French colonies, took advantage of the fact that the British fighters were attracted by the Italian fighters, flew over the area where the British fighters were located, and advanced towards their mission area.

The British pilots were so frightened by the Italians that they even suspected that it was not the Italians who pursued romance who sat on the Italian planes, but the tough Germans!

After a while, the British plane responsible for intercepting it was either killed or wounded, leaving only two planes hovering in the air.

But then, they also came to their senses, and their target was Italian bombers and not fighters!

As a result, the British fighters immediately abandoned the Italian fighters and began to pounce on the Italian bomber group, and used the machine guns and cannons of their planes to shoot at the Italian bomber group.

The British fighter pilots were well aware that once these Italian bombers were let go, then the British troops on the ground were likely to suffer a great blow.

It is worth mentioning that the fighter pilots of the British army, with the support of Britain's sufficient national strength before the war, were obviously well trained and were a group of experienced veterans.

Their shooting accuracy and attack occupancy are very good. In just five minutes, more than half of the planes of this Italian bomber squadron were shot down.

This caused the Italian bomber squadron to suffer huge losses, so that when they finally flew over the mission area, there were only five Italian bombers left, and two bombers sent by the French army.

And it was the arrival of these 7 bombers that still inflicted heavy losses on the British ground forces on Heights 4.

The Italian bombers took off with a full load, so they carried a lot of bombs on board, and the British bombers were also miserable.

The British commander on the ground was so angry that he scolded his own "incompetent" air force and threatened to make a complaint to his superiors against the British air force for serious dereliction of duty in Africa.

The Italian bombers were also desperate, and the Italian pilots were selectively dropping bombs on targets on the ground that they felt were valuable, while also having to dodge the attacks of the fighters that the British were following.

However, there were three Italian bombers, which were too focused on bombing ground targets to ignore the British fighters that arrived immediately.

As a result, they were shot down by British fighters before they could finish throwing away the ammunition they were carrying.

These bombers were not flying at a high altitude because they were bombing ground targets when they were shot down, and they quickly fell to the ground as soon as they were hit by British fighters.

The downed Italian pilots, who also had no time to parachute, died on the ground as the plane fell.

The pilots of the other two Italian bombers were much more clever, and they did not pay full attention to bombing ground targets, but paid great attention to the position of the British fighters as they approached, and tried not to let the other side occupy their rear, which was the easiest position to attack them.

Of course, at the first opportunity, these two Italian bombers dropped bombs on high-value targets on the ground. But even so, the two Italian bombers were somewhat damaged, but it did not affect the flight.

As for the fighters that the British army followed, although there were only 2 of them, they knew very well in their hearts how much damage these bombers would cause to the ground forces.

This is simply a humiliation for these British pilots! Because of this, after the British fighters shot down three Italian bombers, they kept chasing the remaining two Italian bombers and French bombers.

They swore in their hearts that they would shoot down all the Italian bombers as soon as possible, and only in this way could they wash away their shame.

The pilots of the two Italian bombers and the French pilots in the other two bombers also knew one thing in their hearts at this time...... I definitely won't be able to fly back.

After all, a bomber does not fly as fast as a fighter, and in addition, the agility of the aircraft is much worse than that of a fighter.

They were doing everything they could to delay the downing in order to give them maximum support to the besieged French forces on the ground.

That's the only thing they can do now.

The two Italian bombers, finally throwing all the ammunition they carried, began to stagger and prepare to leave the battlefield.

Although these two Italian bombers did not escape the poisonous hands of the British fighters in the end, the other two French bombers were able to escape because of the firepower attracted by the Italian planes. This can be regarded as not being completely annihilated.

It can be said that the Italian Air Force performed very well, almost to the point of impressiveness!

In contrast, the Italian Army, which Johnson considers the biggest threat and is slowly approaching, looks a little unsightly.

Contrary to Johnson's guess, Garibaldi's army was not in a hurry to get to the front. And the Italian army was not the killer weapon that Rommel had planned......
