There was little difference in performance, but there was such a disparity in numbers, that the only fate of the British air force deployed on the island of Malta was destruction, and there was no second way to go.

After the horizontal bomber took off, the JU87 on the airfield began to roar, and the plane slowly slid towards the runway, and then slowly accelerated, faster and faster.

Countless huge bodies rose into the air, powerful air currents rolling, and the commanders on the ground were almost unable to stand on their feet.

After 150 JU87s took off, they began to form in the air, and the bombing mission of JU87 was the anti-aircraft fire of the British army on the island, and the JU87 had a long range and a long time in the air, and these JU87s could attack the anti-aircraft artillery fire exposed by the British army at any time.

After JU87 took off, it was a transport plane, and a considerable part of these transport planes were provided by Italy, but Italy did not have many transport planes, and it was not possible to parachute the 22nd Division of the paratroopers to the island of Malta at one time, and only one regiment could be airborne at a time.

More than 200 transport planes needed about three round-trips to airdrop the 22nd Paratrooper Division to Malta Island, a total of about four and a half hours, so the first wave of airborne troops to hold the airborne field was the most critical.

More than 100 planes took off, and suddenly there was a buzzing in the ears, and gradually, the sound became quieter, and the planes flew higher and higher, and the more they flew more and more smoothly.

Looking down from the window, the white clouds in the sky are tumbling, in a thousand postures. Some are like Snow Maidens, some are like white rabbits, and some are like mushrooms...... Under the golden sunlight, the white clouds seem to be covered with a golden veil, which makes them even more beautiful.

Harold, the commander of the paratrooper division, finally waited for the plane to take off, and when the plane roared into the blue sky, his heart was extremely excited.

How many years. The goal he had always aspired to had been achieved. A truly earnest paratrooper operation is about to take place. The plane pierced through the clouds and fog, and after a while it flew to cruising altitude.

Looking at the clouds in the sky is really beautiful, some are like cotton quietly, and some are like a group of dancing girls, but the plane doesn't seem to be moving, only the sound of the motor is roaring.

"Aunt Juncker" has reached an altitude of 7,000 meters at this time, and is looking at the sky at this time, which is blue and blue. The white clouds flew away quickly.

Harold truly experienced the myriad forms of white clouds and the infinite wonders of nature, which felt very wonderful.

The command of the British army on the island of Malta, Lieutenant General Brian is now the commander-in-chief of the island defense force on the island of Malta, because the island of Malta has not been attacked by any enemy, which makes Brian very fluttering, but in the defense of the island of Malta, Brian still does not dare to be careless.

Brian used the forces at hand to set up two defense areas, an ambush area. Brian's first defense priority was the port of Valletta, and the second defense area was the Malta Island Airport Military Airport.

The two civilian airfields Bryan deployed only a small number of troops. Because Brian had too few troops in his hands, he was only one division of troops.

There's a reason Bryan has made Port Valletta the number one defensive priority. There were two reasons why Bryan decided to focus on Valletta defensively.

According to British intelligence analysis, Italy's navy was frequently mobilized and had the intention of attacking the island of Malta, and the port of Valletta was the source of supply for the island.

It is also not an exaggeration to say that Port Valletta is a lifeline for the defenders of the island, and of course an important material supply route for the enemy who landed on the island.

The geographical location of the island of Malta dictates that Brian must put the main defensive force in the port of Valletta, which is 90 kilometers from Sicily in Italy and 150 kilometers from Africa.

The Italian navy is still relatively strong, and Brian does not dare to abandon the port of Valletta if Brian shrinks his forces to the interior of Malta Island.

The British forces on the island would not receive any reinforcements from the British Navy. The British army on the island will be completely alone, and they will not have any faith in holding on.

If the German-Italian Afrika Korps had taken the port of Valletta, Rommel would have been able to send a steady stream of troops to the island, and the defenders on the island would have died.

Brian had a garrison of almost 5,000 men at the port of Valletta, and 2,000 troops around the military airfield.

More than 7,000 other people were deployed in two relatively flat places around the airport and the port of Valletta, so why did Brian deploy his troops on flat ground.

Because Brian knew that Rommel had a paratrooper division in his hands, and if Rommel wanted to seize the island of Malta, he would definitely send his paratroopers to the island of Malta.

The primary target of these paratroopers is definitely the airport, and the Malta military airport is the most well-equipped and the largest on the island of Malta, so Brian judged that the German paratroopers would definitely attack the Malta military airport.

The current paratroopers are not fighting with armored forces, because the Germans simply do not have transport planes that can airborne Tucker, but Brian has a battalion of tanks in his hands.

Brian deployed his forces around the port and the military airfield, and he wanted to annihilate Rommel's paratrooper in one fell swoop with his armored forces.

It can be said that Brian's deployment is quite good, and the allocation of troops is also very reasonable, although Brian's troops are insufficient, and there is no naval support, he still adopts an active defensive strategy.

At this time, the first wave of horizontal bombers had just flown out of Sicily, and the British radar on the island of Malta detected this huge group.

Although the detection range of the British radar was only eighty kilometers, it also had a very important tactical role, at least the German aircraft could not sneak up on the British airfield on the island of Malta.

As soon as Brian heard that a large number of enemy planes were coming, he hurriedly sent all his Spitfires to fight, but unfortunately there were too few Spitfires in his hands, only twenty-four.

……

Ever since the group had taken off, Rommel had been keeping his eyes closed in the operational command office, and there was a high-powered radio walkie in front of them, which was Rommel's habit, and his adjutant Wald had long been accustomed to it.

Rommel's "Eye of God" had been observing the situation on the island of Malta, and the British planes flew together and were captured by Rommel's "Eye of God".

These British planes were very cunning, they did not go head-on to intercept the German bomber group, they avoided the frontal attack, but deviated from the course of the German bomber, it seems that they wanted to sneak attack the German bombers on the way, using the hit-and-run tactic.

The British army has radar, and Rommel's "Eye of God" is a more advanced "radar", so how can this little trick of the British army escape Rommel's "Eye of God".

Rommel, who closed his eyes and recuperated, immediately opened his eyes and picked up the wireless telephone in front of him:

"I'm number one, call horizontal bomber formation, hear it please answer...... I'm ...... number one. ”

Rommel called about five or six times in a row, and finally came out of the murmur:

"I'm the commander of the horizontal bomber formation, please give instructions to One."
