The British army's flight formation was extremely large, with bombers in the center and fighter planes on the periphery, and the British army's formation was very rigorous.

Because the Germans already knew the British flight altitude in advance, the James soldiers set the flight altitude at 8,000 meters.

In this way, the British simply did not detect them in formation, and the German planes of two aviation regiments, under the command of radar, arrived at the designated combat positions from all directions.

The battle began in an instant, and James's forty "BF109s" swooped down against the British Wellington bomber group.

The Wellington Heavy Bomber was the most dominant twin-engine bomber in Britain in the 1930s, often referred to as the "Webby", or "Flying Cigar" (because the side looked like a large cigar). It is characterized by an iron fuselage, and the structure is quite strong, which can withstand damage that other aircraft cannot withstand.

The Wellington heavy bomber has a strong fuselage structure, with only two Browning heavy machine guns in the turret at the nose, tail and wing spars, so the firepower of this bomber is extremely weak and the firing range is very limited.

"Click...... Click...... Woowoo woo ......"

James's forty combat planes were divided into twenty small formations, each of which dealt with one Wellington heavy bomber.

Dozens of German BF109s roared to their targets, dragging bullets in the air with whips of fire, tilting ammunition at the Wellington heavy bombers below.

Rommel used the BF109G Fighting Chicken, a BF109G fighter equipped with a 30 mm cannon and two machine guns.

James was the first to hit a Wellington bomber, which plummeted to the ground in smoke and soon heard an earth-shattering explosion on the ground.

The rain of bullets was shuttling, the planes were flying all over the sky, the British formation was not confused by James's attack, but continued to maintain the formation, and the machine guns on Wellington began to fight back desperately.

Because of James, they took the British by surprise, and his comrades shot down more than a dozen Wellington bombers one after another.

The fact that such a large result could be achieved in a single assault was entirely due to the command role of the German radar, which allowed James to be the first to know the altitude and position of the British aircraft.

Of course, even without the help of radar, Rommel could provide accurate intelligence, and it was impossible for the British army to attack Tobruk with such a large fleet.

Soon, the British fighters arrived to reinforce it, and in an instant the planes in the air were flying around, you bite my tail, I want to S maneuver to get rid of, pull up, dive, make a big turn...... In the sky, countless planes are jumping up and down.

From time to time, there were planes that smoked and fell from the sky, German planes and British planes, and in general, more British planes were shot down, because German pilots were much more experienced in actual combat.

It has to be said that the flexibility of the Spitfire fight, the performance of this piston aircraft can be compared with the German BF109.

Although the Spitfires were very flexible, as soon as the Jacoes were free from the British battle, they would directly attack the British bombers.

"Click...... Woowoo woo ......"

The machine guns on the bombers were also firing fiercely at the "BF109", and of course the "BF109" used its speed and agility to shoot fiercely at the bombers from all directions, and suddenly more than a dozen British bombers were shot down.

The thick-skinned bomber could only "whine...... and fall, and then come into close contact with the earth.

The Spitfire or P51 Mustang that was closely guarding the bombers began to fight back desperately.

There are also masters among the British pilots, and the rain of bullets is like a torrential rain, and the pilots are highly skilled, and they cannot be completely avoided.

At that time, three "BF109s" were shot down and fell to the ground with a whimper, at which point more British fighters rushed over and began to join the ranks of protecting their bombers.

The speed of the "BF109" is fast, but those British planes do not chase you at all, but continue to fly towards Tobruk with their own planes tightly protected.

The goal of these British planes was clear, to protect the bombers to bomb your hen's nest, and Tobruk was just a few field airfields.

Once the runway was blown up, the hundreds of planes deployed by the German army on the front line could not land, so they could only choose to make a forced landing, and the damage rate of the forced landing in the desert was more than 80 percent.

As long as the British army blew up the German chicken coop, the hundreds of planes that the German army had placed on the front line would almost be finished.

James had no choice but to turn the nose and rush towards the British fighter group, but there was no suddenness at all, it was completely a hedge, James wanted to hit the British bombers, and the British Spitfire caught up, desperately trying to protect their bombers.

"Click...... Click...... Woowoo woo ......"

The bullets in the sky were flying wildly, and the British Spitfires were three times as large as James's, and the speed advantage of the "BF109" was greatly reduced in the hedging battle.

Nearly five or six hundred planes were roaring and strangling together in the sky, and from time to time planes were falling from the sky with thick smoke, and of course the British Spitfire suffered heavy losses, about 2 to 1 battle losses.

Twenty minutes later, James found that his plane had no ammunition, and hurriedly contacted his teammates to prepare to retreat, but he didn't know if he didn't contact, and James almost cried when he contacted him, his side lost more than 20 planes, but they shot down more than 50 British planes.

At this time, even if James wanted to continue fighting, it was impossible, and James could only use his speed advantage to accelerate his retreat.

"BF109" wanted to run, it was not that the British army did not want to chase and destroy the German planes, but they could not abandon the bombers to pursue, and could only watch the remaining dozen or so "BF109s" fly away.

At this time, Rommel was also in a hurry, and Britain sent an unprecedented large fleet of planes to raid Tobruk.

At this time, Tobruk had already piled up a lot of various materials that were moved out of the sewers, because the Egyptian defense line was about to be attacked, and these materials had to be moved out of the sewers and then transferred to the front line.

According to the analysis of the intelligence sent from the front line, Britain has put in more than 600 fighters at one time, and more than 300 bombers of various types.

More than 300 fighters in Rommel's hands deployed on the front line have been fully dispatched.

If a British bomber broke through the German fighting chickens, Rommel could only let three bomber groups take to the air without carrying bombs, which means that Rommel had already planned to use the bombers as fighters. (The BF110 bomber can be used as a heavy fighter)

There were no planes to produce in France, and if the various supplies piled up in Tobruk were blown up, Rommel's plan to attack Egypt would be aborted.

Even, Rommel may have returned to Tunisi because of the lack of supplies, and the consequences were so serious.

"Report that the British fighters in the southeast have broken through our block and are coming towards Tobruk, and our fighters have completely lifted into the air, requesting bombers to take to the air for combat."
