Chapter 549: Fierce Battle of the Sero Kingdom
The two warships faced each other in close proximity, but the Yaman sailors were unusually relaxed, and although they admired the courage of the Thar navy, which had only three old battleships, they did not exert much pressure.
The Sahr Navy felt completely different, and in the face of the pressure of the Yaman Empire, all the Sahr people became nervous. The take-off Yaman carrier-based aircraft shuttled back and forth over the Sahr fleet. The Saar soldiers operated the anti-aircraft guns on the ship, nervously watching the Yaman planes, and some Yaman pilots flying Junker 87B dive bombers even dived into the Sahr battleship, which shocked the Sahr artillerymen in a cold sweat.
The two armies confronted each other at sea, and the Saar navy, which was on the weak side, was pressed down, Admiral Betty's palms were full of sweat, and his heart was bottomless, the Saar navy had been in decline for twenty years, and although the navy personnel were still elite, the number was much less. If his fleet is destroyed here, the domestic naval personnel will be cut off, and the launch of the new warship is likely to end up with a ship and no one to operate.
The Saar Empire attached great importance to Betty's telegram for help, and they were also aware of the strength of their fleet, and when they heard that they were facing off against a large fleet of the Yaman Empire, the country immediately ordered the air force to take off, and at the same time informed the Boston Empire and the Nantes Empire.
The three kingdoms are now allies, so naturally they can't sit idly by and watch this kind of thing, Boston can't reach the whip, but the Nantes Empire immediately took off fighter jets to support. The Nantes Empire was relatively close, and more than forty Soneuer Type 406 fighters that had taken off from the coastal airfield soon arrived on the scene, and they began to form formations to expel the nearby Yaman planes.
The top speed of the Sony 406 fighter was only 440 kilometers per hour, and its performance was far from that of the Yamaman Empire's carrier-based fighter BF109T, and it suffered very much in the confrontation, but those Nantes pilots still clung to it, shielding the opposing aircraft with their fuselage.
Seeing the arrival of the opposing land-based aircraft, Dönitz knew that there would be no war today, and he immediately let the bombers with relatively poor performance land first, and only let the fighters confront him.
"This group of Yamans is too arrogant, let's go together." With the order of Squadron Leader Fernand, the Saar people who had just arrived, piloting more than forty Hurricane fighters, also rushed up, and the Axis planes immediately occupied a numerical advantage, and they flew close to each other's planes, and the two sides fought a nervous war.
Fernand carefully operated his plane, clinging to a Yaman BF109T fighter, the two planes were only a few meters apart, the Yaman wanted to cut into the inner circle and enter the sky above the Saar fleet, Fernand drove his Hurricane fighter to cling to each other and not let it in.
Although the speed of the Hurricane fighter was slightly slow, fortunately Fernand flew in the inner circle, so he barely escaped from being left behind. Seeing that he could not cut into the inner circle, the Yaman pilots relied on the greater agility of the aircraft, rolled forward and broke away from the confrontation, cut directly into Fernand's tail, and entered the position of biting the tail to attack.
Seeing that he was bitten by the other party's tail, Fernand pressed the operating lever, and the plane dived down, and at the same time he tightened the throttle, and the Hurricane fighter instantly slowed down. The Yaman pilot was not careful, the plane was too fast, and rushed directly to the front. Fernand immediately stepped on the accelerator to the end, and the Hurricane fighter shook for a while, and its speed quickly increased to the limit, and the altitude quickly increased, directly biting the tail of the opponent's plane.
The pilots were nervous about the planes, for fear that one would accidentally bump into each other, and the warships on the sea were also doing dangerous moves, with the main guns of the two sides aiming at each other, and the battleships surrounding each other for a confrontation, refusing to back down a single step.
After an hour of standoff, Fernand found that his fuel had reached the warning line, and they still had a long way to go back to the airport, and they needed to keep enough fuel for their return flight. Fernand sighed unwillingly, and ordered in the short-range communicator: "There is not much fuel, everyone pay attention, and start returning immediately." ”
After the retreat of the Sahr Air Force, the Nantes Air Force did not have much fuel, although they were closer to the airfield than the Sahr, but after all, they could not compare with the Yaman Air Force. The Yamans could land on the carrier at any time to refuel, but the Nantes couldnnot, and after another ten minutes of confrontation, the Nantes had no choice but to retreat.
After the Air Force withdrew, Betty didn't dare to stay long, so he had to retreat in the same way. The Yamaman Empire, relying on a powerful fleet, won this game of confrontation on the edge of the war. After taking control of the sea supremacy, the transport ships of the Yaman Empire began to enter the major ports of the Cerro Kingdom in large quantities, transporting a steady stream of arms for the Cerro government army.
Saar and Nantes were forced to retreat because of this time, and they learned from the pain and looked forward to the commissioning of their aircraft carriers more urgently, and at the same time, the two countries also strengthened the research and development of carrier-based aircraft, hoping to catch up with the international advanced level as soon as possible.
The Jarman Empire's arms continued to flow into the Kingdom of Cerro, and the army of the Grand Duchy of Rees was also re-equipped. When the rebels attacked all the way and the government forces were defeated and retreated, the troops of the three armies of the Reese government army suddenly launched an attack, and the army directly attacked the northern military district.
After receiving the news of the attack by the Reese government army, Alberta, the commander of the 77th Army guarding the lair, was not surprised, he thought that he could only train new soldiers, but he did not expect to earn military merits. After receiving news of the Grand Duchy of Reesb's troops, Alberta quickly mobilized troops and set up a defensive line along the Douro River to stop the eastward advance of the Reese government army.
The Reese government army has been replaced with a full set of the latest equipment of the Yaman Empire, with more than 300 heavy artillery pieces alone, and when they saw the rebels arranging a defensive line along the river, the Reese government army immediately concentrated its artillery and shelled the rebels on the other side of the Douro River.
Soon the air force on the side of the Grand Duchy of Rees swooped down, and the Junkers 87A bombers accurately dropped the bombs on the rebel positions at an almost 90-degree dive angle. After being heavily bombarded and the rebels suffered heavy losses, Alberta realized that his feats were not so good, so he had to ask Franco for help.
Franco, who was attacking the city of Lorencia, heard the news that the Reese government forces were attacking his rear, and he was terrified that if his lair was captured, he would be turned into a rootless tree. Having lost all logistical supplies, it was useless for the Axis powers to fully support him, so he immediately ordered the 53rd Army to return for reinforcements, and at the same time requested reinforcements from the Nantes Volunteer Army.
After this period of air warfare, the air force of the Cerro Kingdom was crushed, and the battle of the Nantes Volunteer Army was relatively easy, when they learned that the air force of Reece was raging, they immediately changed the scene and transferred a fighter wing to the direction of the Douro River, and soon the air battle between the two sides broke out over the Douro River.
The Grand Duchy of Rees originally did not have an air force, and this time it was the Condor Legion formed by the Yaman Volunteer Army that participated in the air battle as the Reese Air Force. The air force, led by Colonel Hartmann, the ace pilot of the Yaman Air Force, was composed entirely of elite pilots, and when they saw the fighter unit of the Nantes Volunteer Army flying head-on, they immediately met it.
The Nantes Volunteer Army used the P51 Mustang fighter provided by the Boston Empire, which was slightly more powerful than the BF109E of the Condor Legion. However, the Nantes Air Force has been out of train for many years, and the pilots are all novices in retraining, and their skills are not skilled enough, and they seem to be a little inexperienced in the face of the elite pilots of the Condor Legion.
"These guys are still newbies." As soon as he saw the face, the experienced Colonel Hartman could see the clue from the other party's flying attitude.
"Brothers, don't keep your hands, let them know that the plane is not like this." Hartmann encouraged his comrades on the radio, and many pilots immediately responded, one even whistled.
The performance of the aircraft is only one aspect, and the quality of the pilots can affect the combat effectiveness of the aircraft to a large extent. For those of the Nantes Volunteer Army, who flew exactly according to textbook training, the Cerro Air Force could still win against the old biplane fighters, but it was unlucky to encounter the Condor Legion.
Hartmann piloted his own plane, a clean and neat small radius turn bit a Mustang fighter, the tail-bitten Nantes pilot relied on his aircraft performance outstanding, made a continuous S-shaped turn, trying to get rid of Hartmann, but the experienced Hartman took advantage of the defect of the opponent's slightly larger radius when turning, cut directly into the radius, and slowly narrowed the distance with the opponent.
Seeing that the opponent's piloting skills were so high, the Nantes pilots were almost desperate, and he had to press the joystick and dive towards the ground, but Hartmann was unmoved, and chased after him with the same dive.
The panicked Nantes pilot only cared about his own escape, not realizing that his altitude was too low, and when he came to his senses, the plane was too fast to stop.
If he was flying a dive bomber, he could have lowered the speed brake or flaps to slow down, but the fighter was not configured like that at all, and although the Nantes pilot desperately held the joystick in his arms, it was too late.
The Nantes pilot watched his plane crash headlong into the ground, a violent explosion sounded, and the black smoke brought up a fiery mushroom cloud, killing the Nantes pilot on the spot.
Hartman smiled and said to the already burning Mustang fighter jet, "Since I crashed, I was left with my bullets." With that, he snapped the operating stick, and the plane returned to the battlefield again, continuing to look for the next target.
