Chapter 143: Victory in the First Battle (Supplement 2)

Recruits, who die at the highest rate on the battlefield, and at the same time, as long as they survive the first brutal battle, they become veterans!

The current Rick, the current naval aviation, is undergoing such a transformation!

As soon as the wing was punched a few holes, Rick immediately pulled the lever and the throttle was wide open!

He51 roared, pulled up from the sky, spun in a half-circle, and then, upside down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Rick looked up, he saw the Spanish pilot beneath his head, looking left and right.

The other party has lost the trace of Rick!

Not every pilot is an ace, among pilots, the most important thing is to grasp the space, if there is a problem with the sense of space, even the blue sky will be on the ground.

And now, Rick's maneuver disappeared from the other party's eyes, and the other party was still looking for Rick's traces in the front hemisphere, but he didn't know that Rick's plane, drawing a beautiful figure 8 in the air, had entered his back hemisphere!

Tremble, Spaniards! Rick accurately put the other man in his sight and pulled the trigger.

Tail chasing attacks is the easiest, especially now, when the opponent is almost flying level, it is simply a good target!

The Nid-52 fighter in front, which was hit by Rick and exploded in the air, accurately hit the opponent's fuel tank!

A few minutes later, the air battle ended.

The government army lost 9 fighters, and the Condor Legion on this side, only 1 transport plane was shot down and 1 He-51 fighter was damaged, which was a complete victory!

The news of the victory quickly reached Germany.

Ciric, who had become the commander of the Condor Legion, was greatly appreciated.

At this time, the operation had just begun, and Ciric's headquarters had not yet entered Spain.

Franco's army has not yet gained a foothold in Spain, and if Ciric goes now, it can only go to Morocco in Africa, so Ciric simply stayed in the base camp and waited until he had a foothold in Spain before leaving.

"After this air battle, the Spanish government army should know that they will not be able to compete with us on their own." On the side, the chief of staff of the Condor Corps, Lieutenant Colonel Wolfram von Richthofen, was also in high spirits.

Historically, the chief of staff of the Condor Regiment was Holler, but unfortunately, this guy did not behave in the world, and there were constant conflicts with the commander of the Legion, Major General Hugo Sperler, and as a result, within a few months, he was replaced, and the new one was now Lieutenant Colonel Richthofen.

And now, of course, Ciric would not find a self-righteous stunned young man to partner with him, and as soon as he became commander, he promoted Richthofen.

He is an excellent military talent, but he also has a lot of power in relationships.

Historically, Richthofen, who spent four years in Italy, not only got along well with his immediate boss Speller, but also quickly became proficient in Spanish and was able to work well with Franco and his officers.

Of course, Ciric will not let go of such a talent, and now, because Ciric rejected Holler, who was proposed by Goering, Richthofen was promoted, and Richthofen was also grateful to Ciric.

Quietly, Ciric bribed the Air Force officer.

Now, the first air battle has ended, after this air battle, the Spanish air force has completely lost its fighting spirit and no longer takes off to intercept, and the transport planes of the Condor Legion make four or five trips a day between Morocco and Spain, transporting Franco's troops, weapons and equipment.

"Our help has made the Spanish government army aware of the huge gap." "What do you think the government forces will be able to pull back?" ”

Putting oneself in the other side's shoes, and considering from the other side's point of view is something that every military strategist must master.

"They had to find new helpers." Richthofen said.

Germany began to help Franco, and Italy, too, began to aid the right-wing military, in such a situation, the government forces are in danger, they must seek help!

So, the next question is, where are they going to get help? France? United Kingdom? Of course not, since Germany has been involved, France and Great Britain will be very self-aware to remain neutral, this is the connotation of appeasement!

Avoid war, love peace!

What other countries, besides France and the United Kingdom, can help the Spanish government? The answer to this is the Soviet Union.

"Only the Soviet Union will provide support to the Spanish government, and there will be a large number of Soviet warplanes entering Spain. Next, it's time for our air force fighters to go out. Ciric said.

The first operation to start was to have the naval pilots escort them. Richthofen, who was born in the Air Force, wisely expressed his support, Ciric will definitely not hide the Air Force, and now, sure enough, Cirich mentioned the Air Force!

The navy uses the biplane He51, which happens to be trained with the backward Spanish Nid-52 fighters, but when the Soviets come with reinforcements, there will be a large number of biplane I-15 and single-wing I-16, and the performance of these aircraft is better than that of He51.

When the time comes, the Navy will not be able to make sorties, otherwise it will be suicide, and in air combat, the performance of aircraft is quite important.

Therefore, the task of the second stage is that the BF109 of the Air Force will seize air supremacy, and the He51 of the Navy will bomb the ground and continue to temper the Navy!

Richthofen nodded: "Yes, our air force is ready, and many of the first to go to the battlefield are veterans of the First World War, and they can't wait." ”

"However, the Soviet Union will not support the Spanish government in vain." "The Soviets were not like us, motivated by international friendship," Ciric said. ”

Germany unconditionally supported Franco, after all, Spain was of great strategic importance to Germany, but unfortunately, Franco's performance later made Hitler sad, in World War II, no matter how Hitler lobbied, Franco seemed to have amnesia, and did not remember the support of Germany and Italy during the Civil War at all, and firmly expressed neutrality.

White-eyed wolf.

And the Soviet Union is quite wise, if you want the support of the Soviet Union, it is very easy, show sincerity!

The Spanish government, very sincerely, handed over about 600 tons of gold in its inventory to the Soviet Union!

Although the current Spain has declined, after all, it was once the country that ruled the world in the Age of Discovery, and although it has fallen to the present, Spain is still the sixth largest gold reserve country in the world.

In Ciric's eyes, the 600 tons of gold were even more tempting.
