Chapter 646: Libyan Air Force

For Germany, the Mediterranean is just their inner lake. Even if it is the police on the sea, it is perfectly possible for Italy and France to act, because the air supremacy has always been in Germany's hands!
Among other things, Germany now has long-range FW190 fighter jets and universal bombers like Junker-88, which can fly over the Mediterranean Sea at any time to stroll around!
Moreover, Germany has established a military base in Libya!
At the beginning, Germany and Italy carried out a division of labor. Germany was responsible for fighting the west and Italy was responsible for the east. Unfortunately, the sudden occurrence of the European war stopped their military deployment to Africa. They were originally intended to be sent to the 7th Armored Division in Libya. , Also participated in the European War.
However, the early deployment is there after all. For example, for the transportation of materials, Germany opened a new air base near Tripoli, the capital of Libya.
Since it is going to fight France to the west, of course it is necessary to build a military base in the west.
After this air base was built, part of the supplies were transported. At the same time, a fighter squadron and a bomber squadron were also transferred.
According to Cyric, this kind of force is enough to maintain the stability of the Mediterranean, and at the same time, it will not hinder its own European battlefield.
When needed, you can continue to increase troops here, and now, this amount of force is just right.
After these equipment were deployed, there has been no battle, and the pilots who were dispatched here have long been impatient.
The war over Europe is so exciting, but they can only stay here, watching the sandstorm every day, it is really boring!
So, when they were woken up at three in the morning, everyone was excited.
The base alert, three short and one long, is a first-level combat readiness!
Waking up from the dream, almost without washing their faces, they rushed to the hangar hidden in the sand dunes and ran to their fighters.
Captain Conrad ran and straightened his hair. When he ran to the hangar where his plane was located, he saw that the ground crew was nervously loading bombs on his plane.
FX1000, gliding guided bomb! When he saw this thing, Conrad felt a burst of excitement. This thing, in the current equipment, belongs to the highest level of confidentiality, and the cost is also high. Only the most experienced crew can control it. !
This shows that what we are performing this time is an absolute heavyweight task!
"Emergency." On the side of the hangar is the flight preparation room. Squadron Captain Bescher just put down his phone and said to the bombing crew who gathered here: "Our mission this time is to bomb the British fleet! Destination, Milskbil Port!"
Last time, in the bombing of Scarpa Bay, Bescher was determined and courageous. With a fearless spirit and perseverance, he completed the task and won an Iron Cross.
After that, he rested.
Because his bomber was almost scrapped and it was quite difficult to repair it, he couldn't wait, so he took the initiative to ask for a new plane.
As a result, the new plane was given to him, but at the same time a transfer order came, and he arrived in Libya!
Although he was dumbfounded at the time, but afterwards, he decided to execute the order, which was his bounden duty. Now, he is qualified for the job of squadron captain.
Go to the port of the French colony and bomb the British fleet? This news is not wrong, right? Suddenly, some people became suspicious.
However, Conrad suddenly remembered something. Could it be that the British and the French were fighting? This is even more exciting!
"Attention, our mission this time is very important. We want to bomb the British fleet, but there must be no accidental injuries! We just got the information about the British fleet. Every bomber is responsible for a target. Pay attention, we must see the target!" Scheer said to his men, can't make a mistake!
Conrad brought his target, and he was suddenly excited. What he was about to explode was the British aircraft carrier! This can't be wrong! Because the French do not have an aircraft carrier!
They were talking excitedly, and at this moment, the most psychological pressure was of course the bombardier. Whether this guided bomb could hit the target, it all depends on them!
When bombing Scarpa Bay in the UK, the guided gliding bomb, FX2400, established a miracle. Although the number of Junkers 290 bombers carrying it was small, they bombed the main target.
It’s just that this kind of bomb is too heavy. Except for the Junker 290, other bombers can’t carry it. At the same time, the actual combat also confirmed the excellence of this kind of bomb. Therefore, German scientific researchers systematically made this device. Applied to a series of bombs.
Among them, the FX1000 is a gliding guided bomb weighing one ton. It is also modified from the original free-fall bomb, which can be carried by a large number of Junker-88 bombers in Germany.
There are not many Junkers 290 bombers, and the output of Junkers-88 is quite high. This also means that the personnel of Junkers-88 bombers do not have to risk their lives to dive and bomb, but can also drop bombs directly in the air.
Although heavier than the FX2400, all warships of this era are not specifically optimized for aerial bombardment. They are mainly used to defend against large-caliber naval guns. Therefore, this kind of bomb is also enough to tear the opponent's battleship!
They were excited. The plane was hanging up and refueling. They were also studying the route, determining the attack route, etc., but the final order was not issued.
When the submarine discovered the British fleet, the order came, but how can we know the advantages of Germany if we don't let France suffer?
So ~EbookFREE.me~ they have made all the preparations, and they can only wait for a while, until the conditions with France are negotiated, and the order here is finally issued!
After hearing the order to start, everyone hurriedly stepped onto the plane.
The engines on both sides were skillfully started, and the Junker-88 bombers flew into the sky one after another.
A squadron with a total of 18 aircraft, thanks to good maintenance, now, 16 bombers are dispatched!
When the bomber took off, the FW190 fighter jets also took off. They had to provide the necessary missions. After all, the opponent was the aircraft carrier formation of the British Navy with carrier-based fighter jets on it.
In fact, the old-fashioned British carrier-based aircraft can't keep up with the speed of Junker-88, but it finally ushered in a combat mission, how can the fighter squadron not participate?
The 1,400-horsepower Junkers Jumo211G-1 engine exploded with maximum output power, propelling the Junker-88 bomber to take off, climb, level at an altitude of 8,000 meters, and fly toward the target at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour!
