Chapter 786: Air Supremacy (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"General, today's air raid operation is not going well. The four waves of aircraft were all ambushed by the Royal Air Force. So far, we have lost 28 fighters, and 37 bombers. "A major general reported to Lieutenant General Zecht. The RAF's sudden counterattack caught the German Army Air Corps by surprise.

Lieutenant General Zechter's brows were tightly furrowed, and the British would launch a counterattack at this time, which was completely unexpected by him. After all, in the previous operation, the British had been silent, without any intention of fighting back. Now, in just half a day, they have lost more than half of their aviation wing. Such losses were undoubtedly unbearable for the German Army Air Corps.

"What are the British going to do? Do they think they can confront us and want to compete with us for air supremacy? Lieutenant General Zechter said. Indeed, the strange behavior of the British surprised him very much.

"General, perhaps our previous bombing of the British Army caused the British to suffer heavy losses. So, the British Air Force can't sit still! Another general said.

Lieutenant General Zeckert nodded, indeed he did not rule out this possibility. However, regardless of whether the British Air Force participated in the battle or not, their intended combat objectives would not change in any way.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the British want to compete with us for air supremacy. So, let's have a battle with them for air supremacy! The Army's offensive against Canterbury was about to begin soon. We must ensure air supremacy in this area of the sky before attacking! Lieutenant General Zechter said.

Although, the Army Air Corps will soon become an independent branch of the military. However, at least at this stage they are subordinate to the Army. The Army Air Corps must fully support the Army's requirements. Otherwise, if there were problems in this war against Britain, no one could afford the consequences. Not well, even Lieutenant General Zekter, the new commander of the service who is about to become the commander of the Air Force, cannot afford it. Therefore, everyone attaches great importance to this battle.

"Yes, General!" Everyone replied. Everyone knows very well that this battle is directly related to their personal fate. If the Army Air Corps performs well in this battle, they will all be promoted once the Air Force is formed. If the performance is not good enough, then any accident can happen.

"General, according to the reports of the pilots, the British Air Force is equipped with a new type of fighter jet. The performance is very good, although it is slightly inferior to our F2 fighter. But overall, it's a very good fighter. In air combat, many of our fighters were shot down by the British! "The co-commander of the 3rd Fighter Wing reported.

"A new fighter? Is it any wonder that the British don't want to be shrunken turtles anymore, it turns out that they are equipped with new fighters, so they think they can fight us? Lieutenant General Zeckert sneered.

With Qin Tian's strong support, Germany's aviation manufacturing industry has always been ahead of the world. This allowed German pilots to fly the most advanced planes and ravage pilots from other countries after the outbreak of war. Although, other countries are also catching up. But on the whole, compared with Germany's advanced aircraft, there is still a big gap.

"General, even if the British are equipped with new fighters, they cannot be our opponents. Our F2 fighter, after all, still has a lot of advantages. In addition, the quality of our pilots is much stronger than that of the British. A large part of the reason for the heavy losses this time was that it was ambushed by the British. In the event of a surprise attack, our pilots were taken by surprise. Otherwise, the British would never have taken advantage of it! Said the Wing Commander of the 4th Bomber Wing.

Lieutenant General Zekter nodded, he was also very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Army Air Corps.

"I know that this failure was just an accident. However, there are also many problems that arise from this. Why are our pilots so careless? This is something that should not have happened on the battlefield. Lieutenant General Zechter said.

The other generals of the German Army Air Corps were a little embarrassed. As Germany continued to win victories in the war, the pilots of the Army Air Corps gradually developed a sense of pride and complacency, and they were the first in the world.

"General, we will next urge the officers and soldiers below to stop making such mistakes!"

Lieutenant General Zekter also did not intend to pursue this further, so he did not hold on.

"As we all know, His Majesty the Emperor has always attached great importance to the air force. So, I think he should have known about our defeat this time. If we can't quickly turn the tide of the war and win, we will surely know very well what bad impression this will create on His Majesty the Emperor. Lieutenant General Zeckert continued.

Suddenly, everyone's hearts tightened. Although the emperor had just succeeded to the throne, his prestige at home and in the army was so high that almost no one would oppose him. As soon as he makes a bad impression of the air team, the consequences can be imagined. At that time, I am afraid that everyone's future will be affected by this.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Lieutenant General Zekter knew that his goal of establishing power had been achieved. His transfer from the army to the army air force made the generals of these army air forces somewhat resistant. In order to ensure victory in the war, the generals of these army air corps did not stumble on him. However, there will be certain problems with how much. It is undoubtedly a good thing to be able to use this incident to knock these guys on the ground.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how can we gain air supremacy on the battlefield, and do you have any suggestions for this?" Lieutenant General Zekter asked.

"General, for the time being, there is only one way for us to gain air supremacy, and that is to destroy the British Air Force! In particular, the advanced fighters of the British Air Force must be completely eliminated. After that, the British could no longer compete with us in the sky. The air supremacy of the British Isles will also belong to us! Said the Wing Commander of the 3rd Fighter Wing.

Lieutenant General Zekett nodded, he thought so too. However, how to implement it will need to be further discussed.
