Chapter 414: Bad News Arrives

readx; In the face of the sudden change, the pilots in the British formation on the opposite side obviously did not expect it, and they could not believe that these two enemy planes would actually break away from the formation and attack directly at the British formation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But soon, the British pilots noticed that the opposing fighters were much faster than them, and the distance between the two sides was still being pulled in, and it looked like they were likely to collide.

At this time, the British pilots finally reacted, no longer caring what the other side wanted to do, and their first reaction was to shoot him down and give the Chinese some color to see.

'Da Da Da ......'

Although the British had reacted and made countermeasures, it was Wang Hu who shot first, and four 12.7 mm aviation machine guns sprayed hundreds of bullets in an instant, and the firepower was far from being comparable to the British Spitfire.

'Boom! ’

Before Wang Hu could make any moves, more than a dozen bullets hit the fighter god, although many bullets did not hit the vital point, but Wang Hu's luck was still very good, only one bullet at an absolutely impossible angle, directly drilled into the Spitfire fuel tank, and the British fighter instantly made a violent explosion.

The fragments of the fighter planes splashed wantonly in the air, smashing into the surrounding British fighter planes with a banging sound, which really frightened the British pilots suddenly, and they flew the planes again and again to avoid the flying fighter debris.

However, it was this behavior of the British pilots that gave Wang Hu and Yang Qiong, who were waiting in the back, a chance to fire.

After Wang Hu hit a British fighter plane with one blow, he didn't make any stops, directly pulled the nose of the plane down, and rushed quickly towards the ground, in order to avoid the fragments of the fighter's explosion, at a speed of 680 kilometers, it was only a matter of one or two seconds to cross this area.

When Wang Hu crossed over, the debris either had fallen early, or after hitting the British fighter plane, the speed of the fall was slowed down a little, and Wang Hu drilled through the only gap, and the whole fuselage was not hit by a single debris.

In fact, the best way to encounter this situation is to pull the fuselage high and fly over the explosion, and only in this way is it absolutely safe.

But now the situation is special, Wang Hu is at the forefront again, if he rashly pulls the fighter high, then his belly will leak under the firepower of the British, so Wang Hu has no choice, he would rather risk being hit by fragments, and he will not leak his abdomen to the British.

After passing through the debris area, Wang Hu suddenly pulled the fighter high, and the nose of the plane was directly aimed at the belly of a British fighter plane in the rear.

And this time Wang Hu's luck is not as good as before, but it's not bad, a few bullets happened to hit the opponent's tail accidentally, 12.7mm bullets, the huge power is to tear off the opponent's tail.

The British fighter plane lost control in an instant. At the same time, Yang Qiong was not idle, taking advantage of Wang Hu's sudden blow, Yang Qiong directly aimed at a British fighter plane that was a little slow to react, and did not hesitate to pull the shooting button.

In the blink of an eye, in a back-and-forth confrontation, the British army lost three fighters, and when the British army reacted, they just wanted to catch these two guys who dared to pull teeth in the tiger's mouth, and the group behind appeared in front of them.

For a time, the air was instantly filled with fire, and the sound of explosions suddenly filled the entire sky, and white scattered flowers appeared in the air from time to time, both British and Chinese.

It was only then that Rommel finally understood the intention of the Chinese to suddenly retreat before the arrival of the British troops, and these Chinese wanted to engage in battle on their territory, so that as long as the pilots were not killed, they could quickly return to the fleet with the help of the Germans after parachuting.

"Inform the Air Force, I don't care what their reason is, now that the British Air Force has arrived, I will see them on the battlefield within five minutes, or else I will bear the consequences. At the same time, the ground forces were notified to search for the parachuted pilots with all their might, to arrest the British pilots and throw them into the prisoner of war camps, to send the Chinese pilots to the shore as soon as possible, and to let them return to the fleet as soon as possible. ”

Rommel hurriedly ordered the communications soldiers around him.

Although the British came with more than 300 fighters, the real threat was the 200 or so fighters, and the remaining nearly 100 fighters were old Sailfish torpedo planes, although this kind of torpedo plane was relatively old, but its power could not be underestimated.

And at present, the British side only has this kind of torpedo machine, but now, Rommel also saw the intention of the British, they already knew that the Chinese were going to Europe to participate in the war, so they wanted to take advantage of the current situation to sink the Chinese fleet near the Suez Canal.

As long as he is sunk in the Suez Canal, then it will not be so easy for the Chinese to support the Germans in the future.

Therefore, this time the British dared to boldly send 200 fighters and 100 torpedo planes to attack the Chinese fleet.

However, Rommel was puzzled, even Rommel did not know in advance the size of the Chinese fleet and what warships the escort fleet had, so how did the British learn this information? Moreover, they can send fighters to attack at such a critical time, which means that they have long known the itinerary of the Chinese fleet.

But no matter how depressed Rommel was, this was the case, and no matter how much he investigated, it was impossible to find out the cause. Because this information was not leaked from him, but stolen by British spies from the Berlin side.

Of course, the British did not know when the Chinese fleet would come, so as soon as they learned of this information, the British set up observation posts at the entrance to the Gulf of Aden, and in order to prevent the Chinese fleet from sneaking past, the British even set up observation posts at intervals.

Three people at one observation post, one radio step, hid in all places on both sides of the strait where people could be hidden, and it was even more difficult to find them. It can be said that since the Chinese fleet entered the Red Sea, their whereabouts have been under the control of the British.

And the most depressing thing is that before the Chinese Air Force arrived in Germany, the British had already learned where the Chinese Air Force was stationed, and even made a series of sneak attack plans, hoping to launch a sneak attack before the Chinese Air Force arrived, or when they had just entered the airport and had no defense.

The British wanted to exclude all unfavorable factors that might affect the situation of the war, a thousand fighters were enough to change the air situation between Britain and Germany at this time, once the British air force was suppressed, then what awaited them was the possibility of national destruction.

The battle in the air has been going on, and from time to time fighters will be shot down, including British and Chinese, but British fighters are the majority. The 7.7 mm Browning machine gun was simply invulnerable to the 12.7 mm heavy machine gun.

Moreover, the Panda is a carrier-based aircraft, which is originally American-made equipment, and the American-made equipment has another characteristic, that is, the skin is thick and durable, even if a 12.7 mm bullet hits it, as long as it is not hit in the same place or some fatal weak points, it will basically not affect the combat of the fighter.

And the British Spitfire is not good, although he is also very powerful, and can even be said to be the natural enemy of the BF109, but in front of the Panda carrier-based aircraft, it still seems a little more than enough and not enough.

Immediately afterwards, fifty Panda carrier-based planes from the east coast rushed over, and without saying a word, they directly joined the battle group, and fought with those British fighters, and the situation in the air between the enemy and us instantly became more balanced, but because the Chinese side had a large advantage in fighters, and the number of fighters on both sides was almost the same, it was only a matter of time before they won the battle.

But there was one problem that deeply affected Rommel's heart, that is, the British fighters dragged the Chinese fighters, and the 100 torpedo planes ran out, looking at their appearance, they should still want to sneak attack the Chinese fleet

At this time, the German fighters still did not appear, and if they continued like this, it was estimated that the Chinese fleet would really be unlucky, and all the fighters on the two aircraft carriers were dispatched, and they no longer had the strength to stop the attack of these torpedo planes

Then the rest can only be defended by the Luftwaffe or some anti-aircraft weapons on the ship. But will the anti-aircraft weapons be able to withstand those torpedo machines? Apparently impossible

"Go and urge the Air Force, if the British torpedo planes drop a fish on the side of the Chinese fleet, I will take them to court-martial"

Rommel was really angry, but the Air Force did not listen to his orders, which was a very painful thing

On the one hand, he continued to talk about the expansion of contradictions with his own people, and on the other hand, he watched the Chinese fleet being annihilated, no matter how he chose, Rommel would be a sinner, but if he didn't ask, then Rommel would be even more unlucky

There are 1,000 fighters and tens of thousands of people in the fleet, and if they are annihilated because of the Luftwaffe, whether it is the air force or his side, it will definitely be difficult to escape the blame, and the Su Dao side will not let them go

Under Rommel's repeated warnings, the Luftwaffe finally took to the air to intercept the British torpedo planes, but because the Luftwaffe had delayed the optimal time to take off, by the time they caught up with the torpedo planes, they were already about to reach the vicinity of the fleet

Fortunately, it was a little more timely, but Rao was so, the torpedo plane also threw down a lot of fish, and even many pilots of the torpedo plane, regardless of their own safety, directly aimed at the fleet below, and no matter whether there was someone behind them attacking them, as long as they were within the attack range, they would not hesitate to drop the fish

As for the future, whether they live or die, they are too lazy to worry about it, anyway, the task has been completed. Their aim was to run the Chinese fleet aground here, or sink it

After more than twenty minutes of fighting, the battle over the fleet finally ended, but the result was very infuriating. Because the purpose of the British this time was to choose their surname, they only went to attack those transport ships, and the aircraft carriers were in the rear, and if the British wanted to attack the aircraft carriers, they would inevitably suffer the blows of the Luftwaffe

So they targeted the transports, and the end result was that two Victory ships were sunk, and the wreckage blocked the Suez Canal, blocking the dozens of warships behind

Five Victory ships had to run aground in the Suez Canal because they were severely damaged, and more than a dozen Victory ships were slightly injured to varying degrees

In this sneak attack, more than 70 fighters were scrapped, more than 100 fighters were damaged to varying degrees, more than 50 pilots were killed, and more than 200 were injured. It can be said that he died before leaving the division, and he immediately reimbursed more than one-tenth of the troops of the expeditionary air force

When the news of the heavy damage to the fleet reached Rommel, Rommel only felt that the sky was about to fall, and immediately looked at the sky, at a loss for what to do (to be continued). )
