readx; At the time I thought it was a stupid decision, but when the war started again, I realized my mistake, and at first, I didn't think that the emerging power that dominated Asia could turn the tide of things. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Because the British fleet and air force were already able to completely suppress the German air force and navy, and I don't think that the Chinese Empire has the ability to help us gain air supremacy.

More importantly, the advance into Africa would make Germany's forces more dispersed, which would be detrimental to the war situation in Europe. It was only later that I realized how wise the Führer's decision was, and although we lost more than 50,000 soldiers for it, we got Britain, and I have to say that the ancient China was indeed very powerful, and once the war potential was aroused, it would be a terrifying existence. ’

This is what Marshal Rommel said in his memoirs written many years after the war, and before that, he had some contempt for the Chinese Empire.

"Marshal, do we really need the help of the Chinese? The empire has marched forward bravely and achieved unbelievable results, and it is really hateful that the Chinese want to participate in a piece of the pie at this time. ”

Rommel's subordinate Baierlein stood on the west bank of the Suez Canal with Rommel, looking at the calm waters from afar, looking at the magnificent man-made canal, and asked a little unwillingly.

"I don't know, but Beyer, please don't say that again, okay? Since it is the decision of the Führer, then we can only believe it. ”

Rommel shook his head gently, although he also had all kinds of unwillingness in his heart, but now, he had no choice.

As the field marshal of the Afrika Korps, Rommel must resolutely carry out the orders of the mustache, and there must be no hesitation or doubt in his actions, otherwise it will bring great disasters to the Afrika Korps and the German Empire.

The mustache is suspicious, which I am afraid people all over the world know, and Barmel is Rommel's right-hand man, and Rommel does not want Barryon to be sanctioned by the mustache for saying a few more words, which will be a huge loss for the German army.

"Report Marshal, word came from the entrance to the canal that they saw the planes of the Chinese, and they were flying towards our side."

The two were chatting, and the communications soldier came to report.

Rommel nodded, signaling that he could go down, and then looked at his henchman with a bitter smile, and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that the Chinese don't believe us very much." ”

"I guess they should be near the Gulf of Aden, cautious Chinese, but it is more than 2,000 kilometers away from us, and the river is wide, and we don't have enough troops to deploy over there, even if they come, they may not run here."

Byraine didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but he felt that the Chinese were a little too cautious.

Baierlein's guess is also correct, at a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers, even bombers dare not fly directly over, the distance is too far, not to mention the Tomcat carrier-based aircraft with a range of only more than 1,000 kilometers.

And if the fleet wants to pass through the Suez Canal, it will take at least three days, and with transport ships, their speed cannot be too fast, and they will run 800 kilometers in one day.

Three days later, hundreds of planes suddenly appeared in the air, patrolling a distance of nearly 100 kilometers on both sides of the Suez Canal, and the German soldiers at this time had just woken up and were dizzy by the rumbling of the engines in the air before they could react to what was going on.

At this time, Rommel quickly walked out of his tent, and had already guessed that the Chinese would probably arrive at the Suez Canal today, so Rommel did not sleep all night last night, except for wanting to see the Chinese fleet with his own eyes, Rommel was left to look at his own defense line, for fear of making a slight mistake.

Whether the Chinese can beat the British air force is not in his hands, and it is not his responsibility, but Rommel knows that if the Chinese fleet is attacked in the Suez Canal, then the mustache will never let him go.

Rommel looked up at the unfamiliar fighters, the speed was even faster than their BF109, the smooth arc of the fuselage looked very graceful, and hundreds of fighters in the air formed a battle formation in twos and threes, each flying in different directions, as if reviewing their achievements.

"Tell these Chinese that within a hundred kilometers of both sides of the canal have been occupied by us, and the fleet can pass smoothly."

Rommel commanded with a frown.

Rommel was able to become the field marshal of the Afrika Korps, which means that this person has a certain ability, and in fact, Rommel has countless military exploits, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first German marshal, at this time the naval aviation of the Chinese Empire is flying over his head unscrupulously.

And without any notice in advance, this is tantamount to a slap in the face for Rommel, Rommel will not refuse them to patrol over their own territory, even if they know that they do not believe in themselves, do not worry about themselves, as long as they are notified in advance, Rommel will feel better.

But now, the Chinese have insulted his dignity, and without any notice, Chinese naval aviation flew over his head. But at the same time, Rommel was also disappointed in the German Air Force, first of all, whether it was friend or foe, since the other side flew over without notification, then at least you have to be prepared, right?

No matter how bad it is, it would be a matter for you to notify the headquarters, but now the result is that the Germans have no reaction, so that when the fighters are flying over their heads, everyone is stupid to stand up to see whose fighters it is.

"Report to the marshal, the fleet of the Chinese Empire has sailed into the Suez Canal, and at the same time tell our ground forces that enemy warplanes have been found about a hundred kilometers to the northwest, and the number is about three hundred, and we hope that our air force will immediately take to the air to deal with it."

Before he could get in touch with the air fighters, the communications corps told Rommel something he couldn't believe.

The fighters of the British appeared about a hundred kilometers to the northwest? And about 300? How did they know? Rommel looked up at the fighters in the air, and it shouldn't be, they can't see it at a distance of more than a hundred kilometers.

"You go and inform the Air Force to get ready for lift-off."

Rommel nodded helplessly, regardless of whether the news is true or false, since the Chinese have already sent the news, then he must take countermeasures.

If it is false, he will naturally say bad things about the Chinese on the mustache, but if it is true and there is no reaction on his side, then the Chinese will say bad things about him fiercely. Rommel didn't want to make trouble for himself in these areas, he wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible, and he was fed up.

The German air force seems to have a different arrogance, as a reading force, although the air force will try its best to cooperate with Rommel's operations, but this kind of without any combat mission, without encountering the enemy's attack, they will not accept Rommel's command.

Of course, it was not completely unacceptable, when Rommel's order reached the Air Force, the Air Force only said that the fighters were ready, that they should go to the runway, and that they should do what they should do, but they did not take off.

The air force officers were still in contact with Goering, who was far away in Berlin, and in this case, they had to get Goering's consent or see the enemy planes appear before they could take to the air, otherwise they would not have escaped this catastrophe in Goering's style.

The aircraft carrier exchanged for Su Dao was the largest aircraft carrier in the Midway class, and one aircraft carrier had 137 carrier-based aircraft, which exceeded nearly half of the fighters at the beginning.

The fighter equipment on the aircraft carrier is also relatively simple, with only four reconnaissance planes, 50 dreadnought dive bombers, and 80 Tomcat carrier-based planes remaining. An aircraft carrier formation consisted of two aircraft carriers, and at the beginning, a total of 110 fighters were on the west coast and 50 on the east coast.

After discovering the enemy fighters, the 50 fighters on the east coast also quickly turned their noses, drove to the maximum speed, and flew towards the west coast, and this only took 20 minutes at most.

However, 160 fighters could not compete with the enemy's nearly 300 fighters, and the numerical superiority was enough to counter the superiority in equipment, which is why Li Zhi notified Rommel as soon as he learned of the appearance of the enemy planes.

Although there are still a thousand fighters on the warship, they are army fighters, and there is no way to take them into the air now, and if they cannot resist the attack of enemy fighters, then the entire fleet will be in danger.

"Captain, the enemy is coming."

Yang Qiong glanced at the radar equipped on the plane, and after glancing at the approximate distance between the enemy and us, she said through the internal communicator.

"Everyone retreat first, fight in the German territory, and try not to go to the British territory, otherwise you will need to escape as much as possible after landing."

Captain Wang Hu commanded.

Immediately, one hundred and ten fighters began to turn around and fly backwards in an orderly manner, and the Germans on the ground who were watching were also stunned, unable to understand what this group of guys was trying to do.

And Rommel frowned even tighter, could it be that they found something? Thinking of the situation on the Air Force's side, it has been so old for a long time, and he has not seen the shadow of the Air Force fighters, Rommel suddenly cursed in his heart and said: "What's going on with the Air Force side?" Why haven't you taken off yet? ”

"The Air Force said that it needs to be refueled and replenished with ammunition, and the takeoff can be completed in ten minutes."

The communications soldier replied in pain.

Rommel is even more painful than the communications corps, within ten minutes, the enemy army will have already run over, what are you still taking off for? It's really a guy who doesn't have enough to do and more than he loses.

Rommel actually has a big opinion on the Air Force, and the conflict between him and the Air Force mainly comes from Dunkirk, if it weren't for Goering's efforts to add some achievements to the Air Force, Germany would not be so passive now, allowing hundreds of thousands of enemies to flee to Britain.

But soon, Rommel became depressed again, and the Chinese Air Force, which had just turned around and flew away, turned around again in a blink of an eye, and when they had just finished this, the figure of the British Air Force appeared in front of everyone.

It can be said that the time is just right, and then look at the Chinese Air Force, the two are paired together, and the distance between them is at least one or two hundred meters, so that the pilots can have enough time to do any evasive maneuvers, and they don't have to worry about hitting their own people.

The Panda, which has a maximum speed of 680 kilometers per hour, is a carrier-based aircraft, which can be said to have an advantage in front of the British Spitfire fighter with a maximum speed of 602 kilometers per hour, and what makes people laugh is that there are still some Hurricane fighters in the British formation, and his maximum speed is only 511 kilometers per hour.

"Yang Qiong, cover me."

After Wang Hu shouted in the communicator, he pushed the speed of the fighter to the maximum, and the maximum speed of 680 kilometers instantly widened the distance between him and Yang Qiong, and Yang Qiong was not to be outdone, and immediately pushed the speed of the fighter to the maximum.

The two fighters went straight to the British formation on the opposite side, one low and one high. (To be continued.) )
