Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
British fighters are still perseveringly pursuing the German bomber fleet, but their fuel seems to be insufficient over time. And their tough offensive fire-intensive German strategic bombers cost them a heavy price. Of the 20 hurricane fighters, there are only 14 left, and a few are flying with injuries.
The German strategic bomber was not too good. Two planes were hit by machine guns, and the wing and belly were bullet holes. However, due to the sturdy design structure, there was no major damage to these planes, but there were reported losses. Three machine gunners were hit and two were dead.
Colonel Niels is also very worried, if today these British fighters are not 20, but 40 or more, if they are not equipped with 7.7 mm caliber machine guns, but 20 mm caliber guns or even 30 mm Caliber machine guns, so what will happen to their bomber force today?
The British are not fools. They will sum up their experience and lessons. Today, the situation that the caliber of the weapon is too small to cause trouble to the bomber fleet will be submitted to the technical department on the second day, maybe one or two weeks later. British fighters are enough to pose a very lethal threat to German bombers.
Thinking of these problems, suddenly the British fighters began to break away from the battle and backed away. Then a cheer came from the headset, because in the distant sky, a dense cluster of German fighters appeared in the clouds.
Because Lütjens reported that there was no confluence of bomber groups, this time the Air Force made a big investment. Under Dick ’s order, the Dutch air defense forces on the coastline took off 53 fw-190d fighters and arrived at the meeting on time. location.
"Revenge formation! Revenge formation! We will welcome you home!" Soon, dozens of fighters flew around the bomber formation and began to accompany the flight. The following is still endless ice water, but all pilots know that they are now completely safe.
"Colonel Niels called the ground base! Colonel Niels called the ground base! We were injured, and the airport was prepared for first aid measures." After seeing the Dutch coastline, Colonel Niels finally let go of his suspended heart, deep Take a deep breath and start the aftermath.
He picked up the folder board for recording and took out a pen to record some problems on it: the of the navy did not arrive in time, the emergence of the new British fighter, and the accident of the female gunner suddenly stopped shooting.
"Colonel, I suggest that some shooting personnel should be given some armor protection so that they can shoot better." The pilot on the first officer suggested loudly.
"This is a good idea!" Colonel Niels nodded, and then wrote a sentence on the paper with a pen: It is recommended to add some armored steel plates to the shooting position.
Soon, the first butcher bomber landed on the runway of the airport in cheers. The ground crew hurried forward and helped the pilots inside to get out of the plane with many hands. Many planes were penetrated on the fuselage. Bullet holes, but none of them affect the normal use of the aircraft.
The bomber No. 35 was the most damaged. The entire belly turret was destroyed, and the plane left at least twice as many bullet holes as the other planes. The body of a machine gunner was lifted off the plane by ground crew, and another injured shooter was taken aside by medical staff and started to rescue the bandage.
Because the bottom of the butcher ’s belly turret is only 30 cm from the ground, when the body of the female gunner was unloaded from the plane, her two legs were only left above the ankle because of the friction with the runway when landing .
When pulling her body out of the plane, everyone had an unspeakable uncomfortable feeling. The girl named Belina had blood stains on her chest and back that had dried up for a long time, and her entire face was blue because of freezing. The feet stayed on the other side of the runway because of the impact of the landing of the aircraft, which looked terrible.
"She gave her life for the head of state and for Germany! We should pay tribute to her." Colonel Niels watched her body packed in a woven bag and said in a very uncomfortable tone: "From today, it will be even more terrible The battle will be waiting for us, we must always be ready to sacrifice ourselves like Miss Bellina. "
Everyone listened to Niels and watched silently as his comrades were wrapped up and put them in a box nailed with prepared thin wooden boards. As a cemetery for pilots sent to the side of the airport as a martyr, the area was small and there were only a few unlucky eggs.
This was another victory for the Luftwaffe. They bombed the British capital, London, and caused great panic to the British high-level. However, only two soldiers were killed in their own lives, and the other three were injured. All 44 bombers returned, and only one was seriously damaged and needed replacement.
In addition, just when they returned, another 4 bombers flew here, and the butcher bomber unit already had 48 such super bombing weapons. With the unremitting efforts of the rear factory, if sufficient raw materials are available, Germany can now produce 6 such butcher bombers per day. Of course, compared with 20 fw-190d fighters per day or 30 leopard tanks per day, this output is not particularly huge.
"Is there any problem that needs improvement?" Back in the office of the control tower, Dick and several combat staff began to summarize this bombing operation.
"The first is the safety issue of the bomber. Our fighters have insufficient range. The use of naval fighter escorts is prone to various coordination problems. This is a matter that must be resolved." Niels looked at his record and answered. Road.
After each action, all units participating in the war must conduct a summary meeting, which the head of state personally ordered to execute. What you say must be recorded for investigation, and you must summarize what is really useful, such as the use of weapons and equipment, tactical problems, and so on.
"The development plan of the long-range fighter is not smooth, and this is no secret. The head of state is interested in a single-engine long-range fighter with a high-power engine. Some generals, including me, feel that it is more appropriate to temporarily use a double-engine large fighter. "" Dick sighed.
Akado came from later generations and naturally knows what the German so-called twin-engine fighter series is. The long-range fighters produced by this waste of materials are often insecure when facing British fighters, not to mention the protection of strategic bombers.
Therefore, he prefers single-engine fighters such as the US p-51. When confronted with British aircraft, he can fight in the first place, and with the strategic bomber ’s own defensive weapons, he can make Britain fall into the terrible situation of Germany. In terms of land area, Britain is more afraid of strategic bombing than Germany.
However, the consequence of insisting on the development of a long-range single-engine fighter is that the German long-range fighter project is progressing slowly because of engine power problems, which has led to a shortage of German long-range fighters at this stage.
There are a lot of alternative projects, such as adding a disposable fuel tank to the fw-190d fighter, for example, trying to use aircraft carriers to the bombers. However, these alternatives have more or less problems, so this is also a headache for the top German Air Force.
"My personal opinion is that if you don't take northern France and get as close as possible to the southern part of the UK, then the strategic bomber will not take off and bomb the southern part of the UK." Niels frowned. "Without by fighters , A surprise attack on British airspace is tantamount to suicide. "
"We need to re-plan the battle plan, so we can't draw conclusions now." Dick nodded, but he rejected Niels's suggestion: "But the head of state and the Air Force Staff believe that since the bombing of the British has already It cannot be stopped at the beginning. It must be until the UK is completely destroyed or surrendered. "
"The second problem is that you need to add protective steel plates to the machine gun shooter and four turrets. This time our bombers lost all shooters, so I suggest adding some protection to these positions." Niels said His second suggestion.
A few staff officers on the side have hurried to record, this suggestion can be said to be very important combat experience, if possible, it should be modified as soon as possible on subsequent bombers produced.
"This is no problem!" Dick continued to nod, agreeing: "The Air Force Staff will immediately contact the aircraft manufacturer and ask them to make certain changes."
"Then the last problem is the issue of the female cannon controller." Niels looked at his record and said: "We were in a state of repression during the entire combat process, but suddenly, Belin Na died in battle, which caused chaos for the entire formation. Our loss started at this moment. "
"Have you been hit first?" Dick saw Niles' spitting.
"She didn't turn off the intercom, we can hear her breathing and vomiting long after the ceasefire." Niels had to tell the truth: "So I suggest that the training of these female soldiers should be strengthened, if possible , Try to let them see the blood. "
Dick was silent for a while, he stared at Niles, and finally sighed: "Colonel Niels, the report you got from the front is very important, including the pilot record, for our army's long-range air formation flight Valuable hands-on experience. As for the female soldiers issue, this is one of the highest plans of the head of state. I need to meet the head of state to be able to determine the direction of future improvement. Thank you for your comments! If there are no other questions, then the meeting will be closed Right! "
