Chapter 124: HS129 Reinforcement (Addendum 2)

"Boom!" An artillery shell, which hit the Iraqi artillery group just three or five meters away from a 94-millimeter howitzer, shrapnel grazed an Iraqi soldier, who held his head and screamed.

The British army on the opposite side actually had heavy firepower, and the emergence of this situation immediately discouraged the Iraqi artillerymen.

"We must retreat, retreat beyond the enemy's firepower!" The brigade commander of the artillery brigade, shouting loudly to his superiors on the radio: "Otherwise, we will be covered by each other, they have artillery, they are firing at us!" ”

"Division commander, leave some foundation for our artillery, and if you fight again, it will be gone!"

One after another, crying, and finally, Said couldn't help it and wanted to order a retreat.

Iraq has such a little belongings, and it will be distressing if they are all gone.

Salah al-Din looked up at the sky in the distance, and an Iraqi warplane, which was being beaten by the British Air Force, was smoking, falling from the sky.

They used to be allies with the British army, they looked down on the British army, and they were defeated and retreated under the blows of the German army, and they had long lost their prestige, and they looked down on it.

But now, once they became enemies with the British army, they found that although the British army was inferior in combat effectiveness, it was much stronger than Iraq, and now, their own side was more numerous than them, and their weapons were stronger than them, and they surrounded the British army, but they were pressed and beaten by the British army!

It's so disappointing.

Is it really necessary to retreat?

If the artillery retreats, the infantry will not dare to charge directly without artillery support, the British have already dug fortifications outside the airfield, waiting for their own side to go up, those machine guns, will cause heavy casualties to the infantry.

Once the artillery retreats, this siege will be considered a failure, so what is the point of paying so many casualties on your own side?

While he was thinking, he heard someone next to him get excited: "German planes, German planes!" ”

When he looked up, he saw several black fighter planes, with black crosses painted on the back of the fuselage, flying through the sky.

In an instant, the ground cheered, German reinforcements came!

HS129, specialized ground attack aircraft, they arrived very well.

The Iraqi Air Force has entangled a part of the British fighters, while the other part of the British fighters are launching an attack on the Iraqi artillery, and there has been a huge omission in the air defense of the entire base.

With twin engines and armor coverage in key parts, this professional ground attack aircraft is a flying tank!

Sitting in the cramped cabin, the air conditioning system was working at high power, and the eyes of the pilot Chris, already staring at the front, those British cannons!

Suddenly, there were clusters of fire on the ground, and the British air base was heavily deployed, with a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns on all sides!

And Chris didn't deliberately dodge at all, he flew the plane, skillfully did two S maneuvers, dodged a large number of bullets, and still a few shots hit his plane, and the tub below was thumping, and he had already pushed the nose of the plane and dived down.

40mm Bofors cannon, fire!

"Tom, tom!" 40-mm machine cannon shells hit the front of the British officers' canteen.

An officer was still directing the firing, as a result, a 40-mm shell, just flew through his chest, blew up a large hole, and he didn't scream, just under the huge impact, flew backwards more than a dozen meters and crashed into the wall of the canteen, staining the entire wall with blood.

Several artillerymen hurriedly took refuge behind the artillery shields, hoping to evade the blow.

It's a pity that it didn't work!

These artillery shields are mainly used to protect against damage from fragments. The shells of the Bofors cannon were spaced apart, and the armor-piercing incendiary and high-explosive shells were interspersed and fixed on the chain one by one.

40-mm armor-piercing incendiary shells, with a sharp whistle, came towards the artillery shield.

"Boom!" The field artillery built during the First World War, the artillery shield was just ordinary steel, and it could not stop the bombardment of this terrible armor-piercing shell, and in the terrible sound, the shell passed through the artillery shield, with countless fragments, and attacked the artillery behind.

It passed through the arm of one of the artillerymen, took it with it, and plunged into an ammunition box in the back.

This led to an even more terrifying scene, where the entire ammunition box exploded violently.

"Boom!" The explosion of the ammunition showed a huge fireball, and the few people who had just been hiding behind the cannon shield all flew up with the explosion, and even this field cannon was stirred by the air current, jumping forward several meters, black smoke rose, and a large crater with a diameter of several meters appeared on the ground!

After being replaced with a new French engine, the HS129 finally stopped worrying about the lack of power, and its cannon has been replaced with a reserve of 100 rounds, which can be consumed with impunity.

The shells strafed, and the entire artillery position of the British was shrouded in barrage, and when the ammunition exploded, it brought about a death-like ending.

HS129, which followed behind, did not hesitate to launch attacks on various key places.

For example, the tarmac.

In order to avoid being covered by Iraqi artillery fire, the planes on the tarmac were evacuated, which created certain difficulties for the German attack.

I saw an HS129 flying low on the ground, and suddenly its head was a little downward, like a dragonfly dotting water, and the cannon under the nose opened fire violently.

A P-40 fighter hidden in the grass, followed by a huge flame, it was already hit!

HS129 continued to fly low, and after advancing dozens of meters, it lowered its head again, and everything was so easy.

When the fighter plane flies into the sky, it is an eagle, and when it stays on the ground, it is a weak chicken!

Several HS129 planes swept the British fighters over the airfield, and at the same time, several planes, aimed at the British line outside, began to strafe.

The British hastily built a defensive ring to defend against the attack of the Iraqi army, and they dug a half-man-deep trench and piled up earth in front to form a defensive position, but behind them, it was completely undefended.

The German attack planes attacked from behind, and when the machine-gun bullets were firing wildly, one British soldier screamed screaming, and they stood up and tried to run, but they couldn't outrun the machine-gun bullets.

This scene is so similar, it's a pity that in the past, it was British fighters who wantonly attacked others, but now, it is the turn of the British to swallow the bitter fruit themselves.

The British, who had just been threatening the Iraqi army, were now passive beaters after the arrival of the German attack planes, and this scene was seen by the Iraqi troops outside, and in an instant, their morale was lifted again.
