Chapter 161: Battle of Malta Island (Part II)

"The British took off from the island of Malta on the twenty-four Spitfires, the route was 2-5-1, and the altitude was seven thousand five, and they probably wanted to sneak up on your formation from a high altitude, and then used the tactics of hit and run."

"Understand, we're going to teach these sneak attackers a hard lesson."

After Rommel finished speaking, he hung up the radio call, Rommel never interfered in the command of the first line, he just informed the commander of the battlefield situation, and the commander of the first line would arrange appropriate tactics.

Not only is there Rommel's "Eye of God" monitoring around the island, but there are also dozens of patrolling BF109s, even if the British army has the ability to reinforce Malta, it will not be able to escape the reconnaissance network established by Rommel.

The horizontal bomber formation began to split in two, and about seventy or so BF109s broke away from the formation and swooped down on the route Rommel had said.

It is said that after Brian knew that a large number of German planes were coming, he immediately let all his Spitfires take off.

Brian knew that the gap in the number of planes between the two sides was too great, so he planned to take advantage of the British army's radar to hit the German planes by surprise on the way, and after achieving certain results, he turned around and ran, and after the Germans were negligent, the British planes could repeat their old tricks.

To Brian's surprise, none of their actions escaped Rommel's "Eye of God",

After Brian sent out the planes, he ordered the air defense forces to be on standby, while anxiously waiting for news, these twenty-four Spitfires were almost all the air power in Brian's hands, and the bombers in the two teams in the hangar were also sent to death at this time.

"Report, the German fleet has split in two, and one of the planes is rushing towards our raid group."

The telecommunications man informed Brian of the report from the radar station, which frightened Brian so much that he exclaimed:

"Oops. Damn the Germans already have radars, did those spies planted in Europe grow up ****? Such an important situation was not reported in a timely manner"

Originally, Brian wanted to make those British planes retreat immediately, but where could he retreat? There are only three airports on the island of Malta, and the Germans must have come to the airport this time.

Three airfields were bombed, and these spitfires were destroyed, if not shot down. Because they simply don't have a place to land.

If you meet it now without hesitation, maybe you can still fight for one to be enough, and fight for two to earn one.

"Inform the raiders! At the same time, the information that the Germans had radar was reported to Prime Minister Churchill. ”

Brian is also a person who can afford to let go, since the Air Force can't stop the Luftwaffe at all, then focus on the ground!

The airfield on the island of Malta was no longer useful to its own side, and if it fell into the hands of the Germans, it would be used by the Germans.

"Order, detonate the explosives buried at the airfields at once, and never leave the airfields to the Germans."

Commander Brian. He is definitely an excellent general, and his command skills are quite outstanding, and all the tactical arrangements he has made so far are extremely correct, and there are basically no mistakes.

The only regret is that Germany has formed an absolute superiority in forces on the island of Malta, even if Brian is a good commander, but in the face of absolute power. All intrigues and tricks are scum.

Soon twenty-four British Spitfires met more than seventy German BF109s, and the number of German aircraft was three times that of the British army. Even if the British pilots fought desperately, they still couldn't escape the fate of being shot down, and it was almost a battle without suspense.

The battle between Spitfire and BF109, two models with similar performance, is called strangulation in an instant, with bullets shuttling through the air and planes flying all over the sky. From time to time, planes fell from the sky into the sea in thick smoke, and the proportion of losses on both sides was basically the same.

The horizontal bomber group continued to fly towards the island of Malta, and after more than 20 minutes, the group reached the sky over the island of Malta, and the horizontal bomber formation split into two again. Facing the largest military airfield on the island of Malta and a civilian flight.

The remaining airfield, which could not be bombed, was reserved for the German paratroopers, and before the two horizontal bomber formations had flown over the target, three airfields on the island of Malta were bombed one after another.

The three airports on the island of Malta were suddenly filled with gunsmoke, and when you looked down from the sky, you could only see the fires on the airports flickering.

What is the situation, the British actually took the lead in bombing the airfield themselves, and the commander of the horizontal bomber group suddenly did not know what to do, and he hurriedly asked for instructions by radio.

Rommel has been using the "Eye of God" to observe the situation on the island of Malta, and of course the ambush circle arranged by Brian cannot escape Rommel's "Eye of God", but the German parachute landing site is not in the ambush area of Brian, so Rommel regarded it as not happening.

Couldn't you imagine that the British army would take the lead in breaking the kettle, and Rommel's horizontal bomber fleet would have no targets for bombing? Of course, there were those British troops in ambush and the tanks of that battalion.

Originally, Rommel thought that he would need to make his bombers go back and forth twice before he could bomb the British army in ambush! Now just start bombing.

The commander of the horizontal bomber group, who was consulted, soon received instructions from the command to bomb the military airfield and the bushes and woods around the city of Valletta.

The group of horizontal bombers circling around the island of Malta immediately adjusted their course and bombed the bushes and woods according to the instructions of the command, and the discipline and rigor of the German troops were reflected at this time, and they carried out the orders of the command without hesitation.

To bomb stationary targets, the height of the horizontal bomber group is generally about 6,000, because the British anti-aircraft artillery fire below is not vegetarian, and the lower the flight altitude, the higher the chance of being hit by anti-aircraft artillery fire.

This time, Rommel sent more than 100 horizontal bombers, each of which could carry two tons of bombs, which was also more than 300 tons of bombs.

Dozens of anti-aircraft guns on the ground roared, countless shells whistled into the air bombers, although the German horizontal bomber group flew at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, but there were also unlucky eggs who were hit and fell from the sky.

Some pilots can parachute successfully from the plane, and some bombers have a tailspin after being hit, in this case, the pilots can't parachute at all, all they can do is to have a close contact with the earth, and then go to God.

Of course, this is not the worst, the worst thing is that the plane that was hit and exploded in the air, and the two-ton bomb was detonated, that is, it directly turned into a molecule.

Countless shells shuttled through the air, and the explosions produced black smoke, and planes were shot down from time to time, but the German aircraft group still flew in close formation, following the established route.

After the group flew over the target, countless black dots floated out from under the bomber's skin, and these black dots gradually grew larger.

These black spots are, of course, aerial bombs, so many of them are bombed by the Germans in formation, that is, carpet bombing, a fifty-kilogram bomb, which can destroy everyone within a radius of at least thirty meters.
