Italy's industrial base is far inferior to Germany's, however, there is one thing that Italy is relatively advanced, and that is aviation!

Italy has a series of advanced fighters, including the current Italian Intervention Corps, although it uses a biplane CR32, it is not that Italian designers do not know how to design monoplanes, but they feel that biplanes have good turning ability and have advantages in air combat.

Moreover, the CR32 has won the title of one of the best biplanes.

In World War II, Italy also produced a lot of advanced aircraft, even ultra-long-range heavy bombers.

And now, Franco is supported by several advanced CR32 biplane fighters, as well as several transport aircraft.

Franco acted quickly, and when he made his decision, a few hours later he was on a three-engine transport plane and headed for Barcelona!

It was a large transport plane that could transport dozens of people, and Franco, with his most loyal guards, flew to Barcelona!

Although there are not many people, Franco is not very worried, there are still a large number of Falangists! In particular, the head of the local Phalangist Party was single-handedly promoted by Franco, and he could use the local forces to control the situation.

He had to be fast!

Moreover, he also believes that as long as he goes in person, he will definitely be able to convince Ciric to continue to support him!

The contradiction between Ciric and himself started from his firm request to play Madrid first, and now, Madrid has not been defeated, and Ciric has done his own thing, as long as Franco admits to Ciric that it was Franco's own strategic mistake, this will definitely be enough.

Franco has always been a risk-taker, and he is bold and careful.

He was not alone, right next to his plane, there were four CR32s to escort him.

In fact, there are not many Republican Army planes flying in the entire sky over Spain, and four CR32s with advanced performance are enough to protect the safety of his aircraft.

In the cabin, there was a constant roar of the engine, Franco closed his eyes, as if he had the chance to win, only he knew it, and he was also a little apprehensive at this time, and there were still many unknown factors.

On both sides of the transport plane, the CR32 fighter jets were flying smoothly, and the pilot, Captain Joaquín García Morato, was observing the surrounding airspace while maintaining a smooth flight with the transport plane.

Since flying this fighter last year, Captain Joaquín has shot down a number of enemy planes and has become the first ace pilot of the Nationalist Army, and he will escort the aircraft without any danger.

The sky was clear and it was a good day to fly.

Suddenly, in the distant sky, several bright spots appeared! He immediately flicked his wings and signaled to his wingman.

Highlights are expanding rapidly! Captain Joaquin's eyesight was quite amazing, he could already see the flying fighters, it was the two-winged I-15! This kind of stubby fighter is easy to distinguish!

It's a Republican plane!

Captain Joaquín beckoned from the open cockpit, signaling his wingman to break away from the transport plane with him and fly towards his target.

Intercept, they must all be intercepted! It's incredible, where did these two-winged I-15s come from? They must not be allowed to get close to this transport plane escorted by their own escort!

"What's going on?" Franco suddenly opened his eyes, and he felt that the transport plane he was on was flying at increased speed, and the roar in the cockpit was even louder.

"There's an IRA air force that's coming to harass us, and we've split up two planes to intercept it." The assistant on the side, the commander of the air force under Franco, said to him: "Don't worry, we still have two planes to escort us, it's safe." ”

This time, the Chinese side mobilized four CR32 fighters to escort the escort, which was fully considered.

Franco felt his eyelids begin to beat, and he said: "Immediately use the radio to inform the Condor Legion and send more planes to protect us, our whereabouts may be leaked, maybe there will be more enemy planes to harass us!" ”

Fly forward again, and it will be the airspace controlled by the Condor Legion.

"Oh, shit!" On the side of the escort plane, the pilot, Lieutenant Miguel García Pardo, shouted loudly: "Look at the top of our heads! ”

The open cockpit canopy gave the CR32 a pretty good view, and Miguel raised his head and looked in horror at the six single-winged I-16 fighters that suddenly popped out of the higher clouds.

The air force of the Republican Army is here to ambush itself!

Miguel pushed the throttle stick, the Fiat A.30R.A.bis 12-cylinder liquid-cooled inline engine roared in the front, the propeller turned rapidly, and the biplane's excellent gyro characteristics allowed them to turn and climb better.

Two CR32 fighters are rapidly climbing upwards to meet the arriving I-16 fighters.

In many battles, the CR32 fighter can completely defeat the opponent's I-15 biplane, but the competition with the I-16 fighter is not so easy.

Miguel pulled up the plane, and before he could aim at the other party, he had already pressed the button impatiently.

"Da-da-da-da." The 12.7mm machine gun roared, and a shuttle of bullets flew towards the opponent.

However, the other party was unscathed!

The I-16 fleet is still diving! They rubbed shoulders with the CR32 and pounced on the transport plane!

When the sound of machine guns appeared nearby, the people on the transport plane were all shocked.

It's just a transport plane, it's not armed with any armament, even if it's a bomber, and there are machine guns to defend itself! And now, they don't have any means of fighting back!

The entire fuselage, in a rapidly tilting position, the pilot of the transport aircraft could only do one maneuver, diving downward! Trying to get rid of the opponent, there was a Doppler howl from the dive, which echoed in everyone's ears.

Holding on to the handrail in front of him tightly, at this critical moment of life and death, Franco's mind was still thinking about such a question.

What's going on? Who leaked his whereabouts? This time, I decided on a temporary basis, and few people knew about it, and it was impossible to notify the Republican Army in time, but now, I was obviously ambushed by the other party easily!

The people who knew their whereabouts were all his most trusted henchmen, absolutely no problem, except for these people, he only notified Ciric, telling him that he was going to fly over to prevent him from hitting him by mistake.

Wait, Ciric?

In an instant, Franco suddenly understood something, but unfortunately, it was too late!
