Zhang Cheng didn't actually stay on the front lines in Tunisia for long. After all www.biquge.info his identity is different, and this is still a dangerous war zone.

Xiao Hongbao received information from the inside that the Allies were ready to launch a decisive air raid on the garrison of the Second Armored Division regardless of casualties. In this case, Zhang Cheng certainly cannot stay on the front line for too long. That would not have been his intention.

I spent a day at the front, meeting and chatting with both ordinary soldiers and senior officers, but of course the content of the conversation was different. After doing everything and being interviewed by Qi Bing, a war correspondent from Daming Daily and the editor-in-chief of their military edition, in the division headquarters of the Second Armored Division, Zhang Cheng returned to Tripoli.

Zhang Cheng did not choose to return to the imperial capital. After all, there were Wang Fan and Wang Yan watching, and there was Lu Zhi, who held the garrison of the imperial capital, and Zhang Cheng was not worried about what would happen to the imperial capital. He always has to set aside some time for others to do things, doesn't he?

When Zhang Cheng returned to Tripoli, the Ming army in the North African theater soon launched an attack on Tunisia. This massive attack involved five armored divisions and more than twenty infantry divisions. This formidable force, supported by thousands of artillery pieces and aircraft, launched a fierce attack on the Franco-American forces stationed in Tunisia.

Although the Allies had known for a long time that the Ming army was about to launch an attack on Tunisia, they were fully prepared to deal with it. For example, a strong defensive line was established, a large number of armored troops and air power were sent to provide front-line support, and so on. However, the Ming Dynasty adopted a new tactic when attacking.

Large-scale attacks are difficult to keep secretive, especially when both sides are at war. And the Ming army, in addition to constantly spreading false news, gave the allies a feeling that a wolf was coming. When they attacked, they first targeted the Allied front-line airfields as their first targets.

It was 3 o'clock in the morning on May 30, 1941. Before dawn, when the sky was at its darkest, hundreds of Ming fighters were already flying from various airports towards the Allied airfields in Tunisia. That's right, the Ming Dynasty used its new weapon in this battle, the night combat aircraft.

Daming's scientific research ability, which has a high level of universal education, is the best in the world. Orientals, who are already smart, are quickly able to make achievements after receiving a good education and a large amount of money. Not to mention that Zhang Cheng, the golden finger, is constantly pointing out the right research direction. In many cases, the role of a correct guidance is far more than desperately trying to study until you fail and hit a wall, and then turn back.

The new twin-engine heavy fighter equipped with a new radar was named Lightning, and it was a formidable fighter. Equipped with radar, they are able to effectively conduct night operations, which the Allies do not have, at least. Although the Americans also have research, it is very obvious that their progress is far from keeping up with the rhythm of the Ming Dynasty.

Dozens of lightning fighters carrying a huge metal cylinder under the belly of the lead quickly opened the metal cylinder after flying over the cordon between the two sides, and scattered the loaded aluminum foil one after another.

The radar stations placed by the Allies on the front line were instantly blind, and the entire screen was full of snowflakes. The radar used by the Allies naturally had no anti-jamming design, not even such an idea. The Ming had used this tactic when they were in Japan, but it was not taken seriously by the Allies until they themselves tasted the bitter fruit.

After the destruction of the radar station, the Allies, who were exposed to the cacophony of sirens, could only see by their ears and eyes. More than 300 dive bombers flew through the sky with anti-aircraft shells and columns of searchlights shining everywhere, and the guide missiles dropped along the leading groups bombarded many Allied front-line airfields. Most of the bombs they dropped were incendiary and submunitions, as well as airfield sabotage bombs, with the main purpose of destroying the Allied front-line air support forces.

Nearly 200 twin-engine heavy bombers, each carrying several tons of bombs, attacked the Allied front headquarters, transportation hubs, important material hoarding points, communication centers, and important fortifications that had already been detected for a long time. This night bombardment inflicted extremely heavy losses on the Allies.

Although there were also brave Allied pilots who tried to force their fighters into the air to fight in times of crisis. But fighting at night in the chaotic skies is not their specialty.

The Allied pilots were not trained to fly at night, and the planes they flew were not equipped with night combat equipment. In this case, the fate of taking to the air with courage can be imagined.

Before dawn, the more than 1,000 Allied warplanes stationed at the front-line airfields were almost completely lost. Most of the fighters, although not too badly damaged, can continue to be used after repairs. However, the airfield where they were located had been destroyed, and the Ming army was about to attack, so where was there any time for them to repair the fighters? After dawn, the Ming air power attacked again, and these fighters that could neither take off nor transfer were just live targets.

The brilliant morning glow reflected the entire sky brightly, and hundreds of Ming fighters covered the entire sky like migrating birds under the background of the glow. They went to carry out supplementary bombardment of Allied front-line airfields and to launch attacks on important Allied artillery positions.

The night bombardment achieved remarkable results. But after all, it is a new thing, and its effect is not enough to destroy all the Allied fighters on the ground.

Are there any front-line airfields that have been discovered by the intelligence services, there are airfields that have not been attacked well, and there are field airfields that have been improvised by the Allies. If all of these are not destroyed, it will take a day at most, and the Allied fighters flying from the rear will soon be able to make up for the losses on the front. And the Ming army was not willing to lose its first-mover advantage in any case.

"Attention to all machines, attention to all machines." Major Sha Jin, who was the pilot of the fighter unit, picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "We are about to approach the war zone, and all troops should pay attention and observe." Inform the bomber unit that they can get to work. ”

After putting down the walkie-talkie, Sha Jin turned his head sideways and looked at the ground thousands of kilometers below. The ground was now shrouded in endless smoke and artillery fire. Even at such a high altitude, Sha Jin could feel the fiery atmosphere on the ground.

Smoke was billowing from the ground, and it was the powerful artillery units of both sides that were desperately bombarding each other. And one of the main tasks of the army aviation in this sortie was to attack the important artillery positions of the Allied forces and open the way for the offensive of the ground forces.

Medium bombers and dive bombers located at the rear of the group began to whizz down to attack ground targets. And the fighter units in the high altitude also began to disperse in formation, ready for the upcoming battle.

No pilot would have thought that last night's raid bombing would have wiped out all the Allied front-line fighters. That's impossible. They all knew that the Allies were bound to have a strong resistance force.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the distant reconnaissance planes to arrive with the news that a large number of Allied fighters were flying towards them.

"Attention crews." Sha Jin picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered in a deep voice, "Go up and kill them all!" ”

A fierce battle soon broke out in the sky. Hundreds of fighter planes on both sides circled and chased back and forth in the blue sky, making all kinds of maneuvers. Countless bullets rained down in the sky, and from time to time, fighter planes in different livery fell from the sky with sparks and smoke.

"Come on!" Sha Jin gritted his teeth, his eyes were round like copper bells, staring at an allied fighter plane not far ahead. No matter what kind of maneuver the fighter makes, Sha Jin follows him and has no intention of letting go.

The allied plane targeted by Sha Jin was also piloted by an ace pilot, but the pilot of that fighter plane immediately began to flee after seeing the dense crash mark on the side of Sha Jin's plane.

People must be self-aware, he himself is only a few downed records, and the Ming army fighters on the opposite side are at least dozens or even hundreds. This is a battlefield of life and death, and there is no chance to do it again. When encountering a master, the first thing to break away from is the first choice of ordinary pilots.

"Huh?" Seeing that the Allied fighter plane in front of him suddenly began to rise in altitude and try to hide in a cloud high in the sky, Sha Jin squinted his eyes and sneered. He'd encountered this trick many times. Where is it so easy to escape from the prey that you have targeted?

Sha Jin flipped the lever and began to accelerate inward again, but in a matter of seconds, he had already caught up with a favorable firing position behind the target fighter. However, Sha Jin didn't need to pull the trigger, because he couldn't guarantee to shoot down his opponent 100%.

Sure enough, the Allied fighter plane suddenly threw out a sideways roll and tried to get out of the danger zone. Sha Jin quietly hooked the corners of his mouth and showed a smug smile.

As if it was a natural instinct, Sha Jin found that he could accurately hit the target when the fighter plane was rolling when he was training, and that feeling was definitely not something that could be trained by training.

In fact, although his flying skills are good, he is at the top level, and he has not yet become the first super ace in the entire huge army aviation that can shoot down more than 100. He was able to do this in large part because of his keen sense of side-scrolling.

Most of Sha Jin's crashes came after he bit his target's buttocks, and when the target began to roll and try to get rid of it, he followed the roll and fired down. It's a talent, a talent that belongs to him.

This time the battle was no exception. The Allied fighter plane was suddenly hit by a barrage of 20 mm armor-piercing shells as it rolled across. The armor on the Allied fighter planes could not resist this kind of ammunition, and half of the wings snapped off in an instant, and the entire fighter plane spiraled to the ground with thick black smoke and sparks.

"How is that possible?!" Because the plane was stuck in a high-speed spiral state and was immobilized by the huge inertia and centrifugal force, the Allied pilots who could only watch themselves fall to the ground were full of despair and disbelief. I'm in the middle of a roll, how did I get hit?!

Seeing that the target fighter plane slammed to the ground, Sha Jin nodded with a smile, recast his gaze to the chaotic sky, and whispered to himself, "Next." (To be continued.) )
