Eight hundred and sixty-six. The sky of the Red Baron
"When the Legion of the Valhalla has been awakened, there will be no one to stop the Germans!"
Generalissimo of the German Empire Ernst. Brahm, 22 December 1965.
Now that preparations for the counterattack were ready, all the German soldiers were waiting for the official arrival of the counterattack with a fighting spirit that was too strong to be believed.
The Skeleton Division, the Prinz Eugen Division, the Nordland Combat Regiment, all the German units, were already ready for the counterattack.
And Germany's most elite legion, the Barons' Guard, was completely prepared.
A heart-wrenching moment is about to happen!
Everyone is quietly waiting, Germans, Americans, or allies of those Americans...... The Germans wanted to see how the Baron led Germany to victory, and the Allies wanted to see how the Baron fulfilled his rhetoric:
Teach the enemy a profound lesson with a counterattack!
At Correte's strong demand, Westmoreland, who was also threatened by the baron, intensified the bombing of Berlin. Tons and tons of bombs fell on Berlin, on the positions of the German troops.
The Germans waited in silence for the final arrival of the great counterattack, and they were convinced that the moment was near......
The Germans are ready, the Germans are ready, so are all the great German heroes of the Valhalla who have awakened.
These people have been asleep for too long, and they cannot see in their sleep what Germany is suffering. But now that they have woken up, they will definitely not allow these conditions to spread in Germany again.
This is the promise they once made to Germany!
"The base is ready...... Countdown to attack...... Waiting for the Rambler to give the order to ......" Xiao Ling's voice began to reach Wang Weiyi's ears.
"At 8 o'clock in the morning of the 23rd, put in a counterattack on time!" Wang Weiyi coldly gave his order.
"Accept the order. At 8 o'clock in the morning of the 23rd, put in the counterattack on time! ”
On the front line, the German soldiers fought stubbornly against enemy planes while forcibly repairing fortifications. And the German soldiers, who were about to go into the counterattack, were hurrying to rest.
They must devote themselves to such a great counterattack with the most physical strength and the highest fighting spirit......
Karrumbu. Rommel was undoubtedly most excited at the moment, having been the captain of the Barons' Guard for a long time. They were the most elite troops in all of Germany, and we didn't want to go into battle all the time, but they weren't given orders. And at this moment, such an opportunity has appeared in front of them.
What is even more incredible is that they fought under the personal command of Baron Skeleton. And Karemb, he couldn't imagine that he would one day be able to fight side by side with his father.
When his father reappeared in front of him, he found that he seemed to have become much younger. He had thought it was just his own delusion. But it soon became clear that this was true.
Yes. Presumably, anyone who stays with the Baron has such magical powers......
"Nervous?" Erwin. Rommel's voice sounded behind him.
"Nervous." In front of his father, Karrumbu had nothing to hide: "It's hard for me to imagine that this scene will be today. ”
"There's nothing to be nervous about." Rommel smiled faintly: "At our time, there was always a saying, what is war? The war began with a duel between the two armies and then ended with the victory of the Skeleton Baron. ”
Hearing this, Karrumbu couldn't help but laugh...... In his memory since he was a child, his father was always extremely majestic, and he couldn't even laugh. But I didn't expect my father to say such a thing today.
"It's the same this time." Rommel's gaze was on the distance: "When you first set foot on the battlefield, you will be very nervous. But when the horn of the attack sounds, you will forget everything. In your heart, you only need to remember one thing, and that is victory, and greet a new victory with a victory. ”
"I see, father." Karemb nodded vigorously.
He suddenly became extremely relaxed, and the tension he had had before disappeared without a trace in an instant. Fighting side by side with his father, side by side with the baron, he no longer had anything to fear.
At this time, the artillery fire in the distance began to faintly come......
......
December 23, 1965, 7:30 a.m.
The Allies had already received reports that, judging by aerial reconnaissance, a large number of German troops had been assembled. But this did not cause the slightest concern in the Allied command. It was possible for the Germans to carry out a large-scale offensive.
Without the cover of absolute superiority in air and ground artillery fire, such a large-scale offensive could only be a death.
The Germans were probably completely overwhelmed by Ernst's speech, and risked a suicidal attack despite their absolute inferiority.
Corret, who was in command at the forefront, thought the same, and simply gave the order to guard against the enemy's attack, and at the same time asked the air force and artillery to continue to intensify the bombardment on this day.
It's just that at this moment, Krait didn't think about what kind of nightmare he would encounter at this time......
Time is passing minute by minute, and Wang Weiyi, who is standing at the forefront, is also calmly waiting. At his side, a Leopard tank, ready to throw himself into battle on the front line at any time and at any time, if necessary.
"The Greater Berlin Central Assault Cluster completes preparations...... The Left Assault Cluster of Greater Berlin completed preparations...... The Great Berlin Right Assault Cluster Completes Preparations ......"
One report after another reached Wang Weiyi's ears......
"The base flight brigade is ready to complete ......" was the voice of Richthofen. Then, Xiao Ling also said something that made Wang Weiyi extremely excited: "The base has completed the preparation for the attack with all the firepower......"
Let's go. Let it all begin. The enemy has inflicted its pain on Germany, so let us return the pain to those enemies tenfold and hundredfold......
He looked at the time. As is customary, the enemy's air force should appear: "Manfred, I know that your infinite desire to appear in the blue sky, last time you only showed off your skills a little, now, let the blue sky be your stage again, Red Baron!" ”
Let the blue sky be your stage again - the Red Baron!
There was a tremor in Richthofen's voice: "I long for the blue sky. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Rambler! Base flight brigade, all take off. Against! ”
Base Flight Group, all take off - meet the battle!
The moment that the Allied Air Force will never forget has finally arrived......
The Allied planes, swaggering into the skies, have forgotten the lessons they had learned. After a temporary silence at the base. They haven't been hit hard for a long time. In their opinion. The German sky is their territory.
And they don't know at all at the moment, a person who made countless enemy planes frightened in the first and second world world wars has officially returned to his stage:
That's - the Red Baron!
When the Allied air force appeared, the German soldiers silently looked at the sky, their eyes were angry, hateful, and dissatisfied, but they had no choice, they could only watch the enemy bombing.
The Luftwaffe, the former air overlord, has been missing for a long time......
But that won't happen again today......
A large group of German warplanes roared into the sky. The long plane at the front is covered in fiery red......
Fire-red fighters!
If dark black belongs only to the Skeleton Baron. Then the fiery red color also belongs to only one person - the red baron!
That's another god-like man in Germany!
Captain Cotter swore he would never forget this day. As an ace pilot of the Allied forces, how many times he took off after the start of the Berlin operation is probably known only to those in the statistical office. He also encountered danger during numerous takeoffs, but was able to save the day each time, and he never took the Luftwaffe seriously.
Moreover, is there still an air force in Berlin? But at this moment, a large number of German planes appeared in front of him.
Captain Kurt was taken aback, he really couldn't figure out how the Germans had hidden these fighters, and how they had escaped the endless bombing by the Allies.
However, it was too late for him to think......
As soon as these German fighters appeared in the sky, they quickly rushed towards their target with great vigour.
When Baron Skeleton returned to Berlin, a group of German fighters magically appeared in the sky, also led by the fiery red fighters. They magically appeared, and then magically disappeared. According to the accounts of the surviving Allied pilots, the German aircraft far outperformed the Allied aircraft.
This also made the Allied command very puzzled, since the German army still had such a powerful fighter, why did it only appear once? Or were those survivors telling lies?
Now Captain Kurt can prove that his companions are not lying, because at this time he is dealing with these terrible German fighters!
"A large number of German fighters appeared...... Again, a large number of German fighters appeared...... Hell, Sergeant Mahler's plane was hit...... God, he didn't even get a chance to skydive......"
Captain Cotter's screams of terror continued to ring out in the ground headquarters...... Damn, those ghostly German fighters have reappeared......
In front of this group of powerful German planes, the Allied air force was beaten without parrie, and there were constantly aircraft cups shot down, and what was even more terrifying was that many of the planes that were hit were directly disintegrated in the air.
Captain Kurt watched as he lost one fighter plane after another and his comrades one by one......
Especially that fiery red fighter, it is simply a demon in the sky. He ravaged the Allied fleets and ruled the skies.
The Red Baron - that myth is here again!
"The J003 fighter is concentrated, and the base is being recovered."
When Xiao Ling's words reached Wang Weiyi's ears. The undefeated god of war on the battlefield smiled. The enemy will never know the path, and they are fighting against a group of machines that don't know the pain and fear of the way.
Even, this "German" fleet in the sky will never have to worry about any losses......
The Richthofen fleet swept the skies. Dominating the blue sky, in a short time 9 Allied aircraft Cup have already been shot down. And the rest of them have no better way to find a better way except to dodge in fear and fight back weakly.
"Retreat, evacuate the battlefield immediately!"
Captain Kurt finally waited for this order that made him feel relieved, and what happened here was not a battle at all, it was simply a one-sided slaughter!
He once hit a German warplane. But to his surprise, the wounded enemy plane actually withdrew from the battlefield without difficulty.
Damn, these German planes simply can't be shot down!
Evacuation - There is no choice but to evacuate!
But. Captain Cotter was soon targeted by an enemy aircraft. It was a fiery red fighter......
Bullets spewed tongues of fire at his plane, and Captain Cotter's wingman was of little real help. In a short time, Captain Cotter's fighter plane was wounded. And at this moment, he didn't know that the missile on the fiery red fighter plane had been aimed at him......
The moment Richthofen's finger pressed the button. Captain Kurt made the most important thing of his life. It is also the most correct choice:
Parachuting!
While his plane was still fighting, Captain Kurt made this decision by accident, and it undoubtedly saved his life.
He was in the air and saw his fighter plane torn to pieces by a missile......
If you skydive a few seconds later...... Captain Kurt couldn't have imagined the consequences......
He watched from the air as his flying squadron was chased and slaughtered by the enemy, and he saw his flying squadron shoot down one plane after another. He even swore that he saw the pilot in that fiery red fighter.
Ah, maybe it's my hallucination in the air......
Captain Kurt was fortunate to be compared to his companions in that he landed on the side of his position. And was quickly rescued. But since this fiasco, Captain Kurt has lost the courage to continue fighting. He never went to the blue sky again.
He was sent back to China for psychological reasons and was discharged from the army in June of the following year. A former ace pilot of the US military fell like this.
He went on to live for a long, long time, and Captain Kurt said nothing about what had happened in that war. On his 70th birthday, Captain Kurt died of a heart attack. His children found a diary when they were sorting through the Captain's belongings, and they learned what the Captain would do in the future.
"It was a day I will never forget in my life...... Captain wrote in his diary, "We thought we had crushed the German air power forever, but the facts told us that we had not done it at all." The Germans far surpassed us in terms of performance and in any respect, and it is ridiculous that we, who knew nothing about it, fell into the trap of the enemy...... Sergeant Mahler, my best friend, who died in the air battle on December 23, 1965, has not been able to find his remains until now. I knew that no one could find him, because the sergeant had lost everything in the air, including his soul and body...... I curse our intelligence officers, I curse my superiors, if it weren't for their intelligence and miscalculations, we wouldn't have suffered this nightmare, and I, I wouldn't have become a despicable deserter......
I had lost all my courage after I was treated, and I didn't know what would be more terrible in the sky. I couldn't take it anymore, and it even got to the point where I would wake up as soon as I closed my eyes...... Before that, the German baron had made a declaration of counterattack, but none of us took it seriously, and now the baron and his Luftwaffe had taught us the most profound lesson, and he had taught us that there was no way for us to win the war at home...... General Corrette was still dreaming there, General Garden was dreaming, General Westmoreland was dreaming, and now it was time to wake up, for Germany had woken up early......
After that air battle, I developed a strong fear of the color red, and I could not get rid of the psychological barrier that red brought me. I later learned that the person who piloted the fiery red fighter was really the idol of all pilots since childhood, the Red Baron! God, I'm glad I'm probably the only one to survive a head-to-head confrontation with the Red Baron, right? If that's the case, then what do I have to regret? So why should I take to the skies again? There is not us, there is only one person: the Red Baron! I only hope that this scene will never happen again, and I only hope that there will never be another war in the world......"
This is Captain Coat's own account, and it also makes it clear to later people what terrible things happened in the sky that day, and who should bear all the responsibility for that tragedy.
Captain Kurt was not wrong, and his departure from the unit was his best choice.
It's just that no one, including him, can know the truth about what happened that day! (To be continued......)
