Chapter 142: Operation Demon Fire

The sky is clear and cloudless, and it's a great day to fly!

The engine was rumbling, and Rick, sitting in the open cockpit, wearing a flight jacket and flight cap, was in a bit of a state of excitement. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past, it was always training, training! And now, finally, he's going to have a battle that truly belongs to him!

Rick is already the squadron leader of the fighter squadron of HNA, before the FW190 fighter was not finalized, the only thing they could use was the current He51 fighter, this kind of two-wing fighter, now the performance has quickly fallen behind, but the full of fighting spirit is enough to make up for the shortcomings of the fighter.

In fact, with Rick's qualifications, if he were placed in the Air Force, he would at most be worthy of being a wingman, but the Navy seriously lacked pilots, and pilots like Rick, who were skilled in training, were naturally treated like treasures, and had just been promoted to squadron leader recently.

Rick looked around, six of the same biplanes, flying in the sky, and in their protection, twenty of Aunt Junkers.

The Junkers Ju52 transport aircraft, which is now the main transport aircraft of Germany, has a solid structure, can be airborne, transport, and bomb, it can be said that it is a kind of all-rounder transport aircraft!

The previous model was immature, and now, it has developed into a three-engine transport aircraft, in addition to the nose, on the wings on both sides, there is also the same 550 horsepower engine, the layout of three engines, so that the reliability of this transport aircraft is quite high, and it is deeply liked by the troops.

It's just that this kind of three-engine, which looks weird and has an ugly appearance, and at the same time, the skin is a wavy board, which looks even more ugly.

On the fuselage, the logo of the Luftwaffe has been erased, and the current aircraft has almost no logo.

And in the cabin, it was full of Franco's troops, they were the first Afrika Korps to enter Spain by air, and they wanted to seize power in Spain under Franco's command!

This is a large-scale air transport operation, codename, Operation Magic Fire.

After taking off from Morocco, they soon flew over the turquoise sea, and below, it was already Spanish land!

Rick suppressed his excitement, and according to his previous learning experience, he divided the airspace in front of him into eighteen parts, and then, with his eyes, he scanned the airspace in front of him one by one, over and over again.

Suddenly, in the airspace ahead, there was a bright spot! Those highlights, more and more!

"Attention, HNA 2nd Squadron, enemy aircraft have been spotted ahead, ready to fight!" Rick shouted over the radio.

Get ready for battle!

Push the throttle to full open, the BMW 6 engine in front of it bursts out with a maximum thrust of 750 horsepower, the exhaust pipe on one side, black smoke is emitting whirring, and the He51 with two wings is already accelerating!

Accelerate, accelerate!

Soon, the He51 fighter formation left the escorted JU52 and headed towards the bright targets on the opposite side!

Air battles, coming! Rick felt his adrenaline rush into his body, and his mind was full of fighting spirit!

At present, the Spanish Air Force is quite backward, and they have only 40 "Newport-Draghe" Nid-52 fighters, 60 "Breguet-19" biplane reconnaissance bombers, and 20 torpedo bombers.

Among them, the Newport-52, the main force of air combat, was only a product of the times of the First World War.

Although they are all biplanes, they are also different, for example, the Newport engine only has 300 horsepower, and the He51 has a 750 horsepower engine, the difference is two and a half times!

The Spanish Air Force is simply a mantis arm as a car!

Rick took his squadron and flew over quickly, and the obvious biplane, with its wide hanging tail, was indeed the Newport-52!

As if he was a cheetah that had seen his prey, Rick shouted, flew towards the other party, and flew over!

Shoot, shoot!

Now, the two sides were head-on, and Rick had no fear, he steadied the plane, stared closely at the sight in front of him, firmly encased the plane in front of him, and then pressed the button on the joystick.

On the nose, two 7.92mm MG17 machine guns burst out with a sound like fried beans and a splash of bullets, flying towards the opposite side!

Shoot, shoot!

At the same time, the plane on the opposite side also opened fire, and the bullets from the two machine guns also fired at Rick's plane!

In terms of weapons, the two sides are evenly matched, both are two light machine guns, and now, it depends on who has the highest head!

In the heat of air battles, it is very difficult to shoot at the enemy, and now, the trajectory shown by the tracer projectile is very close to the enemy aircraft, but it just misses.

Closer, closer!

The enemy aircraft obviously could not withstand this pressure, and the opponent pulled the operating stick, and the two-wing Newport-52 pulled up.

This is the time to wait! The moment the enemy plane pulled up, the wide belly of the plane, just like that, appeared in Rick's field of vision.

Shoot!

Press the button again, and two strings of dense bullets fly towards the belly of the opponent! In an instant, several large holes were opened, and then, the opponent's plane emitted a puff of black smoke and fell downward!

"Kill one!" Rick stretched out his hand, clenched it into a fist, and shouted at the sky.

The first battle of the Condor Legion was won by naval aviation, and at the same time, it was also Rick's first victory!

Then, he wiped his goggles with his scarf and continued to track the next plane.

The battle is raging.

In terms of fighter performance, the He51 is much higher than the Newport-51, but in terms of quantity, there are only six He51s, but they have to meet 28 Newport-51s!

Yes, it is 28, the Spanish Air Force has long been prepared, they will intercept these invading planes as soon as possible!

Alas, they are destined to be disappointed!

Naval aviation, the nascent naval power of Germany, they have long been gearing up and waiting for the battle, and now, they are fighting beautifully!

Newport-51 after another, caught fire in the air and fell, and the naval aviation became more and more courageous!

The second one! Rick has taken out an enemy plane again! Just as he was about to shout again, he heard a sharp bullet flying behind him!

Whew! A few bullets hit Rick's wing, and in an instant, the wing was pierced through several holes!

There's a sneak attack from behind!

In air combat, flying in a straight line for more than two seconds is death! Rick remembered his father's teaching, just now, if the other party played more accurately, he would die!
