Chapter 828: The First Battle with the Germans

On the two aircraft carriers, a large number of planes flew together and completed the formation in the air, and it has been half an hour since the discovery of the German aircraft group, and basically all the planes have completed the formation,

Hundreds of planes were able to complete the formation, and the German planes were almost over, and the radar showed that the German fleet was less than 20 kilometers away from the fighters' fleet.

The enemy planes had already arrived, and the fighters met them without fear.

The German fleet was very large, with more than two hundred fighters, almost twice the number of Mustang fighters, and in addition, twenty or thirty bombers.

Obviously, the Germans got the intelligence that the Chinese army had landed here on a large scale, and the Germans wanted to hit the 1st Army by surprise, and the Germans also knew that there was a huge fleet and two aircraft carriers on the Red Sea, so the Germans sent so many planes.

However, judging from the configuration of the German aircraft group, the target of the German army is not the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Navy, but the 1st Army, which has just completed the landing.

in the sky.

The Mustang fighters of the fighters are getting closer and closer to the German fleet, and a large-scale air battle is about to begin.

However, it was not the Mustang fighters who fired first, but the fighters of the 1st Army.

The huge group of German aircraft, maintaining an altitude of several thousand meters, passed from the position where the First Army was located, and the 30-mm guns of the 1st Army had long been ready, hundreds of cannons, which had long been aimed at the sky.

The soldiers of the 1st Army saw a lot of German planes coming into range, especially many huge and slow-moving bombers. The fighters immediately opened fire.

One 30-millimeter cannon roared one by one, and at least dozens of cannons opened fire at the first time, and suddenly, several German planes were hit.

One of the German fighters, probably hit by two or three 30mm guns at the same time, was instantly blown up in the air and turned into a large fireball in the air.

There was a bomber, which was also beaten to smoke and stagger, and it was only a matter of time before it crashed. The soldiers of the 1st Army opened fire. Suddenly hit the German aircraft group by surprise.

By the time the German fleet reacted, two bombers had already been shot down, three were heavily damaged, and six fighters had been shot down. The whole process is very short. Less than half a minute.

The Germans were too careless. The group of planes was also too dense, and it was picked up by the fighters of the 1st Army for a big bargain, and the fighters tasted the sweetness. The firing intensity was intensified, and many 30-mm machine guns roared angrily, and the soldiers of the 1st Army did not stop firing at all.

The German army just now can be said to have capsized in the gutter, and the German army absolutely did not expect that the Chinese ground forces would be equipped with so many anti-aircraft weapons, which is also too perverted.

Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, military exchanges between the German army and China were relatively frequent, and many Chinese officers also went to Germany to study, and the national army at that time also purchased a large number of weapons from Germany.

For example, the standard weapons of the German army, the Mauser 98K rifle was copied by the national army in large quantities, such as the later Hanyang-made, Zhongzheng rifle, etc., which is the Mauser pistol that the German army has eliminated, and has also been copied by China in large quantities.

In the national army at that time, there were a large number of German armor divisions, and there were many German officers who served as instructors in the national army at that time.

Although intelligence has shown that the Chinese army has developed rapidly in recent years, many German officers believe that this development must be limited, and the Chinese army is at least a few grades worse than itself, so the German army absolutely did not expect that a Chinese ground force is equipped with so many air defense weapons.

Seeing that the planes around them were blown up one after another, these German pilots hurriedly pulled up, or fled far away, and quickly got out of the range of the 30-mm guns.

The German aircraft group, having paid the price of thirty or forty aircraft, finally flew out of the range of these 30-mm guns.

At this time, although it was far away from the effective range of the 30-mm cannon, many German pilots still had lingering fears, how many anti-aircraft guns hit themselves just now, at least two or three hundred! The firepower is terrifying.

Seeing that the soldiers of the 1st Army were so powerful, they gave these German planes a dismount, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and the soldiers piloted their own Mustang fighters, and soon melee with the German aircraft group.

Large-scale air battles began immediately.

As soon as they fought with the German fighters, many soldiers felt that the strength of the German army was at least a grade higher than that of small Japan; in the past, the object of the fighters was basically the small Japanese air force, but this time the opponent was the German army, and the soldiers did not dare to be careless, and they responded calmly.

The Germans had superior numbers of fighters, while the fighters were skilled, and the Mustang fighters had superior performance, and they were on a par with the Germans, with casualties on both sides.

However, the warriors knew that a large number of reinforcements were on their way, and the fighters did not fight hard, and the tactics adopted by the fighters were more of a guerrilla and a delay in time.

On the German side, after the exchange of fire with the soldiers, these German pilots were secretly frightened, these Chinese fighters were too advanced, these Chinese pilots were too cunning, these Chinese pilots never fought hard with themselves, they were simply slippery like a loach.

The clock ticks by.

on the ground.

Many soldiers, especially some officers at all levels who are expected to have telescopes, have held binoculars, looked at the blue sky, and carefully watched the large-scale air battle that was being fought between the two sides.

Even the British army is the same, many British troops pay close attention to the air battle in the sky, even Montgomery, looking at the air battle in the sky seriously.

Montgomery was very worried that if the Chinese Air Force suffered a heavy blow, it would be a big blow to himself, and he would also lose a powerful force.

After looking at it for a few minutes, Montgomery gradually became puzzled, these Chinese fighters were obviously delaying time, could it be that there were reinforcements on the Chinese side, thinking about reinforcements, Montgomery was slightly excited.

There are more than a hundred Chinese fighters in the sky, and the performance of these aircraft is very good, if there are reinforcements coming, how many planes will the Chinese side have, two hundred? Three hundred? Or more.

Thinking that there were two or three hundred planes thrown into the North African battlefield, Montgomery could no longer control his excitement, his face flushed a little, and he couldn't wait to ask Wang Haiyang beside him.

"Dear King! Will you still have reinforcements coming? ”

Of course, Wang Haiyang knew that a large number of planes had already taken off from the base in the Persian Gulf and were coming this way, Wang Haiyang looked at his watch, according to the time, there would be about ten minutes before these planes came.

Looking at Montgomery's excited face, Wang Haiyang smiled slightly: "A large number of our planes are coming, and in about ten minutes, our planes will come." ”

"Ahh There are a lot of reinforcements! ”

Before, it was just speculation, but I didn't expect that the speculation turned into a reality, and there were really a large number of planes already on the way, even Montgomery shouted excitedly.

in the sky.

The battle became more and more intense, although the Chinese Air Force adopted the tactics of guerrilla fighting, but several Mustang fighters were shot down, however, the German losses were greater than those of the Chinese side, and the two sides have been fighting so far, and more than a dozen have been shot down.

"Comrades! Our reinforcements are coming, everyone hold on. ”

Many pilots heard voices from their radio intercom systems, and everyone knew that their reinforcements would come soon, and what the soldiers hoped for most now was that the reinforcements would come soon, and the soldiers were under great pressure to engage so many German fighters.

Gradually, the Germans seemed to be aware that the soldiers were stalling for time, and many German pilots were communicating through their radio intercom systems.

However, it was obviously impossible for the Germans to retreat like this, this was the first battle with the Chinese army, and if the first battle was such a gray retreat, these German pilots could not do it.

In the battle just now, the German army did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, and was caught off guard by the Chinese ground forces at the beginning, and now, although its own fighters have an advantage, it seems that more fighters have been shot down than the Chinese side.

Just as the Germans were struggling with whether to retreat or continue fighting, only thirty or forty kilometers away from here, a huge group of planes was flying here.

This is a formation of six Mustang fighters, a total of more than 140 planes, flying at high speed here, approaching the target area, these six Mustang fighter formations are divided into three, divided into formations, one left and one right, and one formation copied the rear road of the German aircraft group.

As soon as these six Mustang fighters arrived here, the Chinese side had an absolute advantage in numbers, and a larger-scale air battle was about to begin.

A distance of thirty or forty kilometers is a matter of minutes for a Mustang fighter.

The soldiers who were fighting with the German fighters, through the radio communication system, knew that their reinforcements were coming, and everyone's morale was greatly boosted again, and as soon as they changed their previous tactics, they immediately began to fight the Germans.

Seeing that the fighters had changed their tactics one after another, the German pilots who were fighting with the fighters felt that something was wrong, and there must be some reason, otherwise the Chinese Air Force would definitely not have changed its tactics suddenly.

Could it be that reinforcements from the Chinese Air Force have arrived?

Sure enough, many German pilots saw the sky in the distance, and a large number of Chinese fighters were flying towards this direction.
