Chapter 1323: Wiped Out on the Ground (Added 1)
Shrouded in the grass and dressed in a special gilly suit, almost no one would be noticed, and at this time, two scouts of the German special forces, relying on their own eyes, discovered the location of the other party's airfield.
They had landed on the Crimean Peninsula last night, and there were fifty of them in small detachments, and their mission was to find the temporary base set up by the Soviets here.
If they were to search the entire peninsula, it would certainly not be enough, even if there were five hundred squads scattered across the island, it would be like droplets of water spilled into the sea, and they would soon disappear.
They did not rely on their own legs to find the Soviets' air base, but by their own sight, and when the Soviets' planes took off, they were able to see from the air, so to speak, each of them could control a large area, so that fifty groups were evenly distributed, enough to monitor the airspace of the entire island.
Now, Morris lies quietly on his stomach, and after a few years of training, he has grown into a middle-level commander in the "Griffin" special forces, and is also the head of this airborne landing on the Crimean Peninsula.
Beside him were new soldiers who were participating in the war for the first time, and when he saw the new soldiers, he remembered that he had fought with Commander Skortz in the glider.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound sounded in the distance, and the two looked up and saw an SB-2 bomber, which suddenly appeared from not far away, and sure enough, as they had guessed, the other party's air base was deployed near here!
Morris waved his hand, motioning for the new warrior to immediately move with him.
After the bomber had flown up, it had only been in the air for less than five minutes, and it had turned back again, and when it was aimed at the runway, Morris and the new fighters had climbed to a commanding height, a small dirt slope, and clearly saw where the bomber had landed.
"Send a telegram." Morris said.
The new soldier turned on the small telegraph he was carrying behind him, and the coordinates of the target quickly flew over the Black Sea through the radio waves.
Little by little, the sun slipped from the east to the south, and began to slide towards the west again.
"By now, we have found the base of the naval aviation of eight Soviets." On the battleship Stuttgart, listening to the words of his adjutant, Vice Admiral Machar finally stood up: "There must be fish that have slipped through the net, but we don't have to wait any longer, now, leave the necessary escort fighters, dispatch all the remaining attack aircraft and bombers, blow up these air bases in one fell swoop, and give priority to destroying their bombers!" ”
For naval warships, the greatest threat comes from the sky, which was vividly illustrated by Ciric with the Deutschland, and since then, the German navy has always attached great importance to the protection of the air.
And now, the German fleet entered the Black Sea, and if there was a head-on battle, then of course it would be the German Navy that won in the end, but that would bring casualties, and this was certainly not the best choice for Machar.
Having already killed the main forces of the opponent's fleet, now, let's take out the opponent's naval aviation, so that even if they still have some bombers left, their existing air power can completely cope with it.
The German Navy, though arrogant, was not arrogant, and they were always cautious when it came to formulating specific tactics.
With his order, the German battleships in the eastern waters of the Black Sea finally began their fierce return fire.
The entire fleet began to accelerate, and the Hitler aircraft carrier soon accelerated to a high speed of 30 knots, and on the deck, one carrier aircraft after another, began to take off in a tense and orderly manner.
Lieutenant Steinkamp sat in his cramped tub cabin, watched the left and right engines run normally, and according to the command of the deck commander, came to the take-off position.
Pushing the throttle all the way, the 14-cylinder twin planetary air-cooled engine BM 801 on both sides emitted puffs of black smoke, the noise began to increase, the engine had reached the maximum power of 1200 horsepower, and the whole aircraft was ready to go out at any time.
At this moment, the commander on the deck, leaning on his side, one arm forward, made that familiar command maneuver, Lieutenant Steinkamp released the brakes, and the furious engine pushed the fighter and flew quickly over the deck.
Underneath the nose, the 40mm Bofors cannon was so dazzling that it was the main weapon of the HS129, and it also had two more bombs to carry out the mission better.
As always, the length of the runway was excessive, and before reaching the very front of the deck, his plane was already pulled up.
Behind him, one after another HS129s took off one after another.
At the same time, the other two escort aircraft carriers were also constantly taking off Stuka bombers, and they formed a formation and rushed towards the Crimean Peninsula.
In the entire formation, there are only a dozen F190 fighters to escort the escort, on the one hand, because there is no need, the powerful H129 has a certain air combat capability, and self-protection is no problem, while the Soviet naval aviation does not have modern fighters at all, and the newly created fighters are not enough to supply the battlefield on the Western Front, and they also need US military aid, how can it be given to the Black Sea Fleet, which has become infantry?
On the other hand, there were formations of German naval aviation.
They did not fly at high altitude at all, and after taking off, they almost always flew close to the sea, thanks to advanced aviation technology, German fighters generally had a large range, so even low-altitude flight was enough to support round trip.
Moreover, they flew over from the southeastern direction of the Crimean Peninsula, which was enough to surprise the Soviets with a big surprise.
The Soviet Black Sea Fleet wanted to rely on bombers to take out its own formations? Don't dream, their bombers will turn into scrap metal on the ground!
HS129 flew at an altitude of less than fifty meters, and Lieutenant Steinkamp flew intently, while from time to time he glanced down at the map strapped to his lap.
For them, the only challenge is to find exactly what they want to bomb after flying to the Crimean Peninsula, which requires the exact right route, and flying in unfamiliar airspace, they must keep those landmarks in mind, such as his first landmark, which is Mount Roman Kosh on the Crimean Peninsula.
In the southeast of the Crimean Peninsula is the tall Crimean Mountain, find the highest peak from it, use it as the first route determination point, then turn 15 degrees to the left, continue to fly more than 100 kilometers, and you will find the target!
In the distance, the outline of the land was soon seen.
At this time, in Sevastopol, the senior commanders of the Black Sea Fleet were anxious.
