In the sky above Monrovia, there was a lot of fighting, and it rained bullets.

About 1,200 fighters of the Chinese and German air forces fought together in a dense manner that filled the entire sky, and the battle was extremely fierce.

From the very beginning, the Imperial Chinese Air Force, which flew the F17 or F18 fighters, had the upper hand, and with its speed and firepower, as well as the pilot's piloting skills, it inflicted heavy losses on the Germans.

In less than ten minutes of the battle, the Germans were shot down more than 30 Fokker E3 fighters, while the Chinese Empire lost only one F17 fighter.

The battle loss ratio was as high as 1:30, which made the German commander-in-chief, General Schrifen, who was standing on top of the fortress of Monrovia, face as black as the bottom of a pot, and his beard was so angry that he was curled.

"Bite him! Bite him! Very good! Hurry up! ”

The German soldiers on the ground looked up at the sky and kept shouting, they were even more anxious than the German pilots, and they wanted to go up themselves.

"Oops! It's only a distance of more than 100 meters, and I didn't even hit it! What a rubbish! Why don't you let me go up, I can hit the target at a distance of 200 meters! ”

A German soldier paid attention to a German fighter plane over the battlefield, and when he saw that the other party failed to hit the fighter of the Imperial Chinese Air Force in front, he immediately scolded angrily.

"You know!"

A German officer next to him was also in a bad mood, and immediately scolded the German soldier named Shouting.

"You look like a hundred meters away from below, but in fact, I'm afraid it's more than three hundred meters in the sky!"

The soldier looked unconvinced, and retorted: "Even if there are 300 meters, I can still shoot down the plane of the Chinese Empire!" ”

Many soldiers around nodded their heads, because such a soldier has a very good shooting talent, and he is also the ace machine gunner of their wing, and he can easily hit the target at a distance of two hundred meters.

The officer was refuted by the soldiers, and suddenly couldn't get off the stage, and said angrily: "Why do you say that you are still not convinced? Do you think that hitting a humanoid target on the ground is the same as hitting a plane in the sky? The plane is moving all the time, don't you see the speed of the fighter jets of the Chinese Imperial Air Force, at least flying seventy meters per second, such a fast speed, you don't even have the speed to react! If you blink your eyes, you're already lost! Can you still beat it down? If you can defeat it, why can't you go to the Air Force, and why don't you be a big soldier here! ”

In the face of the officer's reprimand, the German soldier blushed and had a thick neck, was stupid for a while, and was speechless to resist.

"Attacking the fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force in the sky, the opponent is not as fast as seventy meters per second! At most, it's just a dozen meters per second! ”

Suddenly, a voice appeared, and the officers and soldiers looked up to see that it was Vice Admiral Tirpitz, and they saluted.

The officer was a little embarrassed, but he did not dare to be angry at Tirpitz, and only retorted: "General Tirpitz, I beg your pardon for being rude, I cannot agree with your verdict. I have already counted many times, and the speed of the Chinese Empire's fighter jets has definitely reached 70 meters per second, and I am still relatively confident in my calculation ability in this regard. ”

Tirpitz did not blame, but smiled patiently: "You are very good, you can accurately judge the flight speed of enemy aircraft with the help of an ordinary watch on the ground, you are a talent." However, you seem to have made a big mistake, which is to ignore the flight speed of our fighters. If you stand still on the ground, the result of the calculation compared to the Chinese Imperial fighter is indeed 70 per second, but the German pilots fighting in the sky, the Chinese Imperial fighter in their eyes, fly at a speed of only ten meters per second at most, because the German fighter is also flying at a speed close to 60 meters per second. ”

The officer, apparently educated, quickly understood that he had forgotten about the problem of relative speed.

"I'm sorry sir, I'm in such a bad mood when I saw the Empire's fighter jets shot down, please forgive me!"

"I understand your feelings!"

Tirpitz nodded, didn't say anything more, and walked straight towards Schrifen.

Seeing Tirpitz appear, Schrienen took the initiative to ask, "Have the affairs of the fleet been dealt with?" ”

Tirpitz nodded, "It's already ordered!" If the fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy arrives, after a little resistance, I will order them to abandon their ships, withdraw all to the fortress, and continue the battle. ”

Shi Lifen thought about it, but couldn't help but ask: "What is it that you want to give the Chinese Empire a big gift?" Wouldn't it have been given to them a dozen of your warships intact? ”

"That's what I wanted!"

"What? How dare you? Schliefen was suddenly on the verge of bursting beans, he thought that Tirpitz's big gift to the Chinese Empire was to let Tirpitz's more than a dozen German warships in his hands blow themselves up, to ram the warships of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and to die with the enemy is also considered to be the face of the German Imperial Navy, if he can sink the super battleship or super aircraft carrier of the Chinese Imperial Navy, even if a frigate sinks a destroyer or cruiser of the other side, it is a profitable deal, and it is also worthy of praise.

However, at this moment, Schrie made a joke, only to find that Tirpitz actually nodded and admitted, and gave more than a dozen warships to the Imperial Chinese Navy intact.

Is this Nima challenging the bottom line?

Schrippen glared fiercely at Tirpitz with murderous eyes.

"This is an order from Shangfeng, and I am just carrying out the order. Of course, I can tell you in advance the result, if all goes well, it will destroy the fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy that came to invade us. ”

Nani?

Shi Lifen's eyebrows curled, and a string of question marks popped up.

Tirpitz smiled slightly and said, "Alright, General Schrizen, you just wait for my good news!" The most urgent task now is this air battle, and the current air battle situation seems to be very unfavorable to our air force. ”

Schriepen nodded, believing Tirpitz once, turning his attention back to the heavens, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes! The battle loss ratio is as high as 30:1, and if this situation continues, we will lose air supremacy in an hour. ”

"I don't think so!"

Tirpitz was always so mysterious, and his words were so unpredictable that Schrifen felt very uncomfortable.

"And what do you think? I don't see any other advantages in our Air Force? ”

Tirpitz smiled: "You just saw the factors such as the high speed and fierce firepower of the fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, but have you thought about it?" The fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force were fierce, and the two heavy machine guns fired at the same time, which consumed far more ammunition than our German fighters. Their fighters are still faster than ours, which means that the fuel consumption of the opposing fighters will definitely not be small. Fast speed and ferocious firepower inevitably bring high consumption of fuel and ammunition, so it will definitely not last, as long as our fighters survive the most difficult period in front, the time will be for us to launch a counterattack. ”

After listening to Tirpitz's analysis, Schripen suddenly realized that his mood suddenly improved.

"Your analysis is good, so it seems that our fighters have full stamina, as long as they hold on!"

The more he thought about it, the more he understood, and immediately notified the tower and sent a signal to the commanders of the German fighters in the air, asking them to adopt guerrilla tactics to avoid a decisive battle with the fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, delay as much time as possible, consume the opponent's ammunition as much as possible, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

The signal lights of the ground tower in Monrovia flashed rapidly, and the German fighter pilots in the air quickly made tactical adjustments after seeing this signal on the ground, and no longer blindly fought with the Imperial Chinese Air Force.

However, this did not immediately change the situation on the battlefield, after all, the fighters of the Imperial Air Force of China were fast and could quickly catch up with the German fighters.

Although the German fighter pilots were well-trained, they were all elite pilots transferred from the German Empire, and they constantly performed various air evasion maneuvers, playing cat and mouse games with the Chinese Imperial pilots, intending to consume the ammunition and fuel of the Chinese Imperial fighters and delay the battle.

This did quickly reduce the losses of the German fighters, but the fighter pilots of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, who had been in the field for a long time and were so skilled that even if the German pilots turned into cunning rats and ran around, they could not escape the capable and shrewd Black Cat Sergeant.

German fighters continue to be shot down, but in general, German fighters are shot down at a longer and smaller interval, and the number shot down is decreasing.

As the battle continued, the proportion of German fighter losses continued to decline, and in turn, the fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force successively entered a state of double alert of ammunition and fuel.

By the forty-five minutes of the air battle between the two sides, the Imperial Chinese Air Force had lost 24 F17\F18 fighters, while the German Imperial Air Force had lost 272 Fokker E3 fighters, and the battle loss ratio dropped from 1:30 to 1:12.

The increase in fighter losses of the Imperial Chinese Air Force was basically between the 40th and 45th minutes, because the main reason was the shortage of ammunition, such as when the bullets suddenly ran out when they were in the middle of a fight, and the German fighters quickly seized the opportunity to counterattack and shoot down the Chinese fighters.

Bang bang bang!

Three red, green, and blue signal grenades were fired, and all the fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force immediately gave up the battle and turned around and withdrew.

"Nima!"

After seeing this situation, Schriefen on the ground instantly scolded, forty minutes before the air battle, the German fighter suffered heavy losses, Schriefen had to endure, when it entered the forty-fifth minute, the German fighter began to counterattack, Schriefen was just about to be happy, but the Chinese Imperial Air Force turned around and ran.

This Nima was so angry with Shi Li that he almost spurted three liters of old blood.

Tirpitz next to him was also confused, in his impression, the arrogant Chinese Imperial Air Force should never escape! At the very least, in the face of the large numerical superiority in air combat, it would be good to fight for more than ten or twenty minutes, but as a result, this group of pilots of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, who had just lost a few fighters, immediately saw that the situation was not good and fled, which made the German pilots who were preparing for an all-out counterattack suddenly have a painful feeling of being urinated on when they laughed excitedly.

"These cunning guys, I'm!"

Schliefen and Tirpitz looked at each other, they were quite helpless, although the German Air Force successfully drove away the Chinese Imperial Air Force, but it was not as happy as expected, but lost more than 270 fighters, sad eggs.

"In any case, we won the first air battle and preserved air supremacy, so that when the Chinese Imperial Army launched a naval and land offensive, at least our air force could provide air support."

Hearing Tirpitz's reassurance, Schripen only sighed.

Soon the remaining German fighters landed at Monrovia Airport one after another, and the original nearly 600 fighters lost nearly half of them in one battle, which was really a big blow.

Of the 272 German fighters shot down, less than 100 pilots survived, and many of them were wounded.

You must know that these are the most elite German pilots transferred from the German Empire, including a large number of German ace pilots during the World War, this loss is immeasurable, because it only takes ten days to produce a Fokker E3 fighter in this era, and it takes three months to train a pilot trainee, and excellent pilots need at least three years of systematic training, which costs a lot of money, and those ace pilots who participated in the world war are national treasures. The loss of one will make the German Imperial Air Force suffer for a long time.

None of the fighters transferred from Fort Tubman had to go back, except for the ones that were lost, the others were merged with the Monrovia Air Wing and stationed directly at the Monrovia airfield.

However, within half an hour, a large number of clusters appeared again in the west of the horizon.

"Enemy planes are coming!"

The air raid siren was sounded, and Shi Lifen, who had just sat down with his buttocks, was suddenly startled.

"What's going on?"

"Report to the general, a large number of fighter jets of the Chinese Empire have been found flying in the sea to the west!"

"How many?"

"About one or two hundred!"

Tirpitts, who was next to him, suddenly said: "This should be an F18 carrier-based fighter that took off from eight aircraft carriers of the Imperial Chinese Navy!" ”

Schria nodded and immediately ordered all fighters of the Monrovia Air Wing to take off.

Five minutes later, officers such as Schriepfen and Tirpitz returned to the watchtower to watch the battle.

The German fighters urgently finished refueling and replenishing ammunition, and the pilots took off in their own fighters and took to the air in formation, ready to meet the battle.

As soon as the German Monrovia Air Wing had finished assembling in the air, the opposing group of Imperial Chinese fighters flew head-on.

Da-da-da-da!

Da-da-da-da!

Da-da-da-da!

When there were still 1,500 meters away, the Chinese Imperial fighter group was the first to open fire.

The dense airborne heavy machine guns were in full swing, and countless fires in the sky were shooting head-on at the German fighter group.

The German pilots looked confused, they did not understand why the Imperial Chinese Air Force opened fire at such a distance.

Although at a distance of 1,500 meters, the firepower of the 12.7 mm caliber heavy machine gun of the Chinese Empire still has great power, but the accuracy of the heavy machine gun is too poor, and the bullets are flying all over the sky is terrifying.

This was not much of a threat to the German fighters at all.
