Chapter 291: Blitz Cairo (Part II)

In Edward's words, don't point fingers if you don't understand, watch more, remember more, observe more, so that you can learn things, don't learn to be the kind of half-filled dingdong.

As soon as Neville's tank cluster departed, the German air force also began to make a large-scale sortie, because the British air force no longer existed.

Rommel asked Amini to use a dozen "BF109s" as a guard, and the rest of the planes carried aerial bombs to bomb the British lines.

"BF109" can also carry two 500-kilogram aerial bombs, because "BF109" is a BF109 fighter, of course, it can also bomb at low altitudes.

However, for Amini, who behs the "BF109" as a liver baby, if a "BF109" is shot down because of low-altitude bombing, it will undoubtedly cost Amini's life, and it is more distressing than dying.

So Amini gave a special order to every "BF109" pilot, no one can bomb at low altitude, the minimum bombing altitude of "BF109" is more than 3,000 meters, whoever is shot down by British aviation fire because of low-altitude bombing, Amini swears that he will not spare that kid.

Because the production of the "BF109" of the French aircraft company is not very high, the aircraft needed by the 10th Air Army can only be ordered in France, and the 10th Air Force does not have to think about the German-made aircraft.

Now the generals of the Luftwaffe are squatting in the Messerschmitt company every day, and if others want to get the "BF109", it must be signed by Air Marshal Catherine and Hitler.

At this time, it was on the eve of the attack on the Soviet Union, even the No. 4 type was all limited supply, unified distribution, no one wanted more, Germany's weapons production capacity in Rommel with great funding, although it has increased a lot, but the contradiction between supply and demand is still very prominent!

A huge group of planes swept over Neville, and they roared towards the British position, and in an instant countless aerial bombs fell from the sky.

Of course, the British artillery was the first to suffer, a cannon was lifted into the air by 500 kg of aerial bombs, and when the cannon fell to the ground, it was already a scattered part, the British anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, the same color against the aircraft in the air.

"Bumper ......" that's anti-aircraft guns firing.

"Da da ......" this is the sound of an anti-aircraft machine gun.

"Boom boom ......" this is the sound of aerial bombs.

"Boom ......" This is the sound of various ammunition flying.

All kinds of voices were intertwined with the British position, and the whole position was filled with gunsmoke, and there were huge craters, like craters on the surface of the moon, dense and irregular.

"Woooooooooo......oo Boom ......"

A JU87 dive bomber dived down against an aviation anti-aircraft gun, and the shooter of which anti-aircraft gun also held a mortal mentality and fired fiercely at the JU87 that dived down in the air.

"Bumper ...... Bumper ...... Clang, clang...... the hot eggshells ejected by the anti-aircraft guns continued to fall to the ground, and the screams of JU87 ...... "Woo woo woo" were getting closer and closer, and the kind of call that was almost like death was indeed terrifying.

But which anti-aircraft gun witnessed the tragic end of several guns around him, as well as the broken body of his comrades, is determined to fight to the death with this JU87.

"Woo woo woo...... Flutter"

The JU87 in the air was finally hit by the anti-aircraft gun on the ground when it was diving, and the JU87 ignited a fire in the air, and the entire fuselage was shrouded in billowing smoke.

I don't know what the pilot of the JU87 thinks, anyway, there is no parachuting, and the armored JU87 just smokes and dives down against which anti-aircraft gun of the British army.

The "boom ......" shook the mountains one after another, and two 500-kilogram aerial bombs, together with the plane's aviation fuel and antiaircraft gun ammunition, caused the violent explosion to leave not a single person alive at 100 meters, and directly blew up a large crater 10 meters deep and more than 20 meters wide.

The main target of the JU87 attack is artillery, and the DO17 horizontal bomber is the formation bombing, which specializes in surface bombing.

Because the African battlefield only needs tactical bombing, the range requirements are not very high, and the DO17 has excellent performance, with a range of 1200 kilometers and a combat radius of 600 kilometers, which is just about the same as the "BF109", with a bomb load of 3 tons, which is also very modest.

The aerial bombs used in DO17 are also different from JU87, which uses two 500 kg or four 250 kg aerial bombs, and DO17 uses 10 kg aerial bombs.

The power of a 10-kilogram aerial bomb is equivalent to the explosion of a 203-millimeter artillery shell, and the vicinity of 25 meters is the absolute killing range.

A DO17 carries 300 bombs, and carries out carpet bombing like dumplings, and the British troops below can survive in the reinforced concrete bunker, but they will also be shocked and bleeding from their internal organs, and they are of little use in the trenches at all, and 25 to 50 meters are all kinds of concussion injuries, and shrapnel is killed within 200 meters.

After the British army lost air supremacy, the heavy casualties of the ground troops were already doomed, no matter how heroic the British army was, it could not be changed, which was caused by the gap in the country's scientific and technological strength.

The first wave of bombing had just ended, and Germany also lost two JU87s, and the JU87 dive bombers bombed with high accuracy, but they were easily hit by ground anti-aircraft fire, which was also a matter of no choice.

As soon as the planes of the first wave of bombing began to return home, the second wave of bombing came, and this time the aviation firepower of the bombing ground was much less, and the British troops on the ground were greeted with a new round of indiscriminate bombardment.

It can be said that this round of bombing can basically destroy most of the British artillery, anti-aircraft firepower and pillboxes, and by the time of the third round of bombing, it has been a one-sided massacre of the British army by the Luftwaffe.

The war was like this, there was no mercy, and by the time the third round of aircraft began to bomb, Neville's tank assault group had reached ten kilometers from the British front.

Following the artillery of the tank assault group began to urgently establish artillery positions, Neville began to slow down and approach the British line, and when Neville's artillery was bombarding the British line for more than ten minutes, the tank led by Neville was already five hundred meters in front of the British line.

As soon as the artillery stopped, Neville's tank cluster roared, like a tiger descending from a mountain, lined up in a neat line, accompanied by the infantry began to charge, in this case, what did the British army do to resist the German steel frenzy, the British army of the entire front could only be crushed to pieces by tank four, and those who did not surrender could only go to hell.

Edward could only secretly sigh in his tank that Germany was strong, rapid attack and breakthrough ability, in this case, the British army wanted to hold the defensive line, it was impossible, Edward began to seriously study Neville's tank command art, and at the same time paid great attention to Germany's ability to cooperate between multiple arms.
