Chapter 1480: From the Clouds to the Ground 2

"Start disbanding the formation for bombing!" With the order issued, the huge box formation began to disintegrate, one squadron after another under the guidance of the pilot bomber to drop bombs on the target area, and the battle group escorting the bombers took the initiative to attack, they searched for almost all German aircraft within visual range, as long as they found it, they would bite it to the death, buy time for the bomber group's attack!

"You can send planes to block the opponent's strategic bombing, and even inflict heavy losses on their bomber forces, but you can't stop them from dropping bombs!" Once, a Chinese officer described the strategic bomber unit in this way. And today, this is indeed the case, the German fleet did cause a lot of trouble to the Huaxia bomber force, but the Huaxia bomber force still dropped a large number of bombs on the oil platforms, oil pipelines, oil tanks and oil refineries in the Baku oil field!

Bombs rained down like carpets. High-explosive and incendiary bombs explode alternately, turning the target area into a sea of fire! Although the Germans had long taken measures to reduce losses, such as draining or diverting fuel from pipelines and oil depots. But some of the remaining fuel oil ignited under the action of napalm and various incendiary agents, and bursts of explosions came from the oil field area, and then spread to the refinery and warehouse area with the advance of the bomber group! From the air, the entire ground turned into a sea of fire. The black smoke from the oil then did not produce enough to obscure even half of the sky, and the updrafts driven by the heat generated by the combustion caused the bombers weighing more than 30 tons to sway a little. "I feel like there's a crater down there!" A Chinese bomber commander who participated in the war recalled the scene at that time!

And when the high-altitude horizontal bombing was launched, under the cover of fighters, low-altitude bombing against some scattered high-value targets was also launched! These relatively small fleets used the cover of the terrain to get close to their targets. Then fly over from an altitude of more than 200 meters. Machine guns and bombs from the plane fired at the ground in unison. Like the Grim Reaper flying low in the air, they harvest everything they can see! The sound of explosions came from behind him, and the roar of German anti-aircraft guns and the flying shells made people shudder! The formation of several bombers was like a plough. They aimed at the German material warehouses. factory, the bomb was accurately dropped in the factory area. Accompanied by the collapse and explosion of the plant. The resilience of the Germans was also significantly reduced.

Of course, this kind of attack was accompanied by great risks, and from time to time Huaxia bombers carrying out low-altitude bombing missions were destroyed by the ubiquitous anti-aircraft guns. In the initial bombing operations, the Huaxia and the Luftwaffe were drenched in blood in the first round of attacks. In less than 2 hours, the two sides threw hundreds of aircraft of various kinds around an area of no more than 500 square kilometers. And this is just the beginning, the Huaxia Air Force, which received losses, has no intention of stopping, with the withdrawal of the bomber unit after the bombing is completed, a new wave of bombers is coming again, and they are attacking in the footsteps of their teammates!

If the first wave of bombing was a devastating blow to Germany's oil extraction and refineries, the second wave of precision bombing was intended to fundamentally damage the German air defense base in this area. Groups of aircraft carrying guided bombs were aimed at key targets such as German radar stations, communications centers, and airfields, and on the basis of information obtained from various sources, these bomber units carried out targeted killings of these targets.

Three twin-engine bombers, under the cover of four fighters, flew secretly towards a mountain peak, where a large Würzburg-type long-range early warning radar should be deployed, with the radar antenna on the front, and the control system in a nearby rock mass, and a generator and other spare parts deployed in another permanent bunker not far away, and a mountain road to deliver supplies to this radar station. The Germans were very covert, if only to attack radar antennas. The Germans only needed to replace a spare antenna from the warehouse, and they could return to duty in a few hours at most.

"The Germans chose a very good place, and the radar built on the mountain extends the detection range by at least 30%! And it makes up for a big blind spot. "The pilot of the long plane can already see the radar dish antenna on the hill." The long machine attacked the radar operating equipment, and the No. 2 machine attacked the power supply vehicle and the warehouse. Level 3 attack road, you must drop the bomb at the designated location, and the radar antenna will be handed over to the fighter rocket, right? ”

The Germans did not have enough anti-aircraft artillery units to deploy in these places. THE PLANES INVOLVED IN THE ATTACK HIT VERY SMOOTHLY, ACCOMPANIED BY SEVERAL ROUNDS OF 1000KG GUIDED BOMBS COMING OUT OF THE PYLONS. A warehouse hidden beneath a nearly 1-meter-thick rock formation was hit, and the heavy warhead then tore through the defenses on top by inertia. The time-delay fuse explodes 0.5 seconds after hitting the target! With a loud bang, not only the equipment and materials in the bunker were destroyed by hundreds of kilograms of explosives, but the entire bunker was also blown up! And then, the bomb responsible for attacking the road caused a landslide with 4 well-positioned 500KG high-explosive shells, and if nothing else, it would take at least a month for the Germans to reuse the position to clear the road and rebuild it!

"Some of our radar stations have lost contact, and a small part of them has been confirmed to have been destroyed by opposing bombers, who appear to have used guided bombs. The planes of the air raids were not large, but they were deadly! As the battle continued, Garand, who had been a little overwhelmed by the high-altitude bombardment, heard another piece of bad news. The current situation is going in a direction that is a little more than he imagined, and the oil fields and refinery facilities seem to be only one of their goals, and the other is against the Luftwaffe!

At this time, Garand encountered the dilemma of the Allies in the Battle of France. As the defensive side, it has the home advantage of ground command and anti-aircraft artillery troops, but because the waves of the opponent's attacks are too many and exceed the limit of their own coordination, many attacks are not discovered, or they are found but cannot effectively guide the aircraft to intercept! In the absence of computer assistance, the staff officers of the Luftwaffe command could only use models to map the situation of the enemy and the enemy.

In addition to the fact that the command began to become confused, the Luftwaffe actually did not have an advantage in the home situation! On the one hand, it is because some of the planes are really too far away from the battlefield, and it takes time to rush over. Another problem is that the aircraft stays in the air for too short a time, and the BF109 can stay for an hour at most in the fierce air battle! Fought until now. I've changed 3 waves of BF109!

"The Germans are returning home, and their large fleet is preparing for landing. This is an opportunity! "While the bomber and escort aircraft units were fighting with the Germans, a number of fighter units composed of old birds, with a high degree of freedom, responsible for hunting and suppressing, appeared near the German airfield, and their task was to hunt down the planes that were ready to land and take off. After a long period of air battles, most of the German aircraft had bottomed out on fuel, and although the weight of the airframe was reduced due to fuel consumption, the tragic time in the air made it impossible for them to get rid of these tailgating killers, especially those FW190T aircraft. Bulky like a duck at low altitude, and the fighters escorting them have either been shot down or have landed ahead of schedule. The deadliest killer in the Chinese Air Force targeted the most vulnerable groups in the Luftwaffe!

"There seems to be something behind us? It seems to be a Chinese Foxbat fighter? The rear pilot of an ME410 fighter jet patted his colleague in front of him on the shoulder and said.

"What are you kidding? Their battlefield is in the Baku oil field, we have left the battlefield for more than 200 kilometers, how can there be Chinese fighters here? Do they come here for tourism? The driver in the front seat said dismissively. Relax, go back for a good drink or two, then take a break, get a good night's sleep and forget about today. After saying that, the driver comforted the latter.

After a big battle, the squadron that originally had 18 ME410 fighters was beaten and only 7 were left! This is the first time for the Triangle Arrows United that such a high battle damage. "I hope that after this battle, we can withdraw to the homeland for reorganization, instead of being annexed by other squadrons!" Ron muttered to himself, the front-seat driver. But what he didn't expect was that this squadron didn't seem to be able to wait for the reorganization, because after more than ten minutes, a Huaxia hunting squadron took Ron and his spices away!

"Team A launched a dive attack. Push them down and Team B and I will be waiting for them below! Sun Zhiyuan, the captain of the hunter squadron, stared at the triangular arrow squadron diagonally above him and said. As a veteran of the Italian Civil War, he seeks more than just crushing his opponents. Instead, through a series of elaborate schemes, the other party will be wiped out! "If you can not shoot down your opponent, then your fight is useless. If you can't kill the pilot on the plane before the opponent parachutes, you'll lose half the meaning of your victory! Kill them all and you'll be a good hunter! "Before leaving. This Hundred Battles Elite expounded his combat theory to his subordinates like this!

The Hunter Squadron pilots are all old birds, and they can make good use of all their strengths and all the weaknesses of their opponents! They have abandoned the ordinary tactic of raiding and scattering and then grappling, which is simple, but it is difficult to tell the opponent to catch them all! They took a different approach and made the most of the blind spot behind the ME410 fighter jet, with Team A entering from a slightly higher position behind the ME410 and Team B entering from a slightly lower altitude! Some of Team A's planes will expose themselves in advance, and the opponent's general reaction is to dive and accelerate away, after all, ME410's air combat ability is just a decoration for the flying foxes, they can only use their speed to get rid of it, and when they dive, they will hit the muzzle of Team B's gun! Even if Team B can't destroy them all, Team A can use the height to dive and chase them, in short, under this double-insurance tactic, the fate of this unit that is not good at air combat has been decided!

When the 2 planes of Team A were exposed to the view of the Germans, it really caused panic among the latter. The Germans even threw away the cannon pods under the wings! Then they began to dive away, and the German pilots, who could not see behind, did not know that their tail was only a few hundred meters away from the enemy's gun port! 4 of the German planes were destroyed by shells fired from behind before they even saw the opponent, and the other 3 were lucky enough to successfully get rid of the opponent's first blow, but at this time the speed of the aircraft was close to the speed limit, and they had to re-level the deceleration, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the Foxbat fighter with better dive ability descended from the sky and cleanly destroyed two of them, and the last plane was personally operated by Sun Zhiyuan! The two sides fought from an altitude of 3,000 meters to 1,500 meters, and under the pressure of the latter, the panicked German pilot crashed headlong into a mountain, and so far, the squadron of tricolor arrow interceptors that participated in the battle for the first time was completely annihilated! And from now on, remove the list!

"I destroyed two planes with just one shot!" A Huaxia pilot later boasted to his colleagues that the Shicha Falcon fighter spotted two FW190 assault planes on their way back, and he quickly bit one of them and eliminated the other with accurate point fire, while the other tried to dodge attacks from the rear, perhaps because the altitude was too low, or the weight was too large to make it difficult to operate. The plane went straight out of control and crashed into the ground after a circle!

"They are simply the most ferocious enemy I have ever seen, fighting us from the moment we entered the battlefield until we left. Many of their first-time comrades could not adapt to such long and intense battles, and made frequent mistakes in battle. Even some extremely low-level mistakes. The magnitude of the losses in the battle is difficult for me to accept, and if such a battle continues, I am afraid that before the Baku oil fields are destroyed, the German air force in the Caucasus will be the first to be crushed! A German wing commander said with a lingering heart after the battle.

The battle between the two air forces lasted exactly 8 hours! Hit from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.! The density of its troops, the long duration, and the tragedy of the battle can be included in the top 5 of local air battles since the beginning of the war! In this air battle, Huaxia finally threw away about 50 strategic bombers, while more than 70 planes were damaged, and the loss of fighters was as high as more than 180! Of course, the Luftwaffe was also beaten to the ground! More than 150 twin-engine fighters were lost, and more than 140 fighters were lost! In terms of numbers alone, the losses of the Germans were greater than those of the Chinese! In one day, the German Transcaucasian air group lost about a tenth of its troops! (Of course, if the loss of these planes is converted into indiscriminate human labor, it must be that Huaxia loses even more!) The inferior performance of the fighter and the refueling tactics are the key to causing huge losses!

And on the ground, the Germans also suffered heavy losses, according to the information provided by the head of the Baku oil field, under the indiscriminate bombardment of thousands of bombers of various kinds, the Germans' crude oil production this month fell by at least 4 percent! Refining capacity dropped by almost half! And if these capacities are to be restored, it will take at least a month, and only if the other side does not continue to bomb Baku!
