Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 57: Large cluster

Over the strait, the weather is good. There are a few thin stratus clouds floating at low altitudes. At a height of four kilometers above the clouds, the blazing sun in summer brings warmth to the icy cabin through the clear and bright windshield.

William Sperry held the joystick in one hand and unlocked the Type 10 Oxygen Mask in the other. He turned his head and looked to the right side of the cabin, deeply regretting that he had forgotten to carry the camera. Seeing such a magnificent sight is really a chance for a pilot to encounter several times in his life. It can be said that it is a dream.

What is the concept of a large fleet of five hundred aircrafts, wherever the line of sight is, all densely packed are large and small aircrafts, stacked one after another, vast and vast, covering the sky.

Sperry wore a German Air Force summer khaki canvas flight cap, buttoned his brand new leitz goggles, and wore a linen summer flight jacket with a kapok life jacket, summer leather gloves and leather boots, a standard German bomber Pilot's line.

This is William Sperry’s twelfth combat flight. If he can successfully return this time, he will be proudly upgraded to a rookie. However, unlike the other rookies in the Air Force, his military rank indicator shows that He is only a first-class soldier. In fact, strictly speaking, he is not even a bird. He is a flying student who is still completing C-level flight training, and can only be regarded as a bird egg.

Although he has passed the b-level flight training to get his pilot's wing, he still has a long way to go before he becomes a qualified bomber pilot. In the flight school, he always dreamed of killing the enemy through training as soon as possible, but the instructor told him that, according to the current battle situation, after he obtained the qualification certificate through the advanced bomber course, I am afraid that the war would have ended.

The German victory on the battlefield, the news is encouraging, but for a boy who wholeheartedly wants to prove himself on the battlefield. The news was bitter and frustrating, and he thought he might miss this war.

Mr. Sperry Jr. still thought this way two weeks ago, but what happened in the next week made young flying students feel like a dream.

One day, the school suddenly notified that the flight course was temporarily interrupted, and all the personnel immediately brought their own flight equipment and personal luggage to the airport of the school. Although the ignorant Air Force students did not understand the situation, the deep discipline and obedience made the bone marrow They did not hesitate to prepare according to the order.

After the assembly, more than one hundred students were caught up with 20 ju52 transport planes painted with aviation school identification codes, forming a formation flying towards the west. Sperry found that the route was very busy through the machine window. . Various transport planes and bombers are constantly running.

The students sat in the cabin and guessed the destination of the flight. The answers were varied. In the end, some people thought that they might go to Cologne, and some thought they would go to Strasbourg, but Sperry secretly guessed that it might be France, because he saw the logo of the Second Air Force on the two ju52s that joined the fleet later, this discovery made him excited and secretly prayed to God that his guess was correct.

The team of trainees hardly leave the plane, except for the time to land. They can move their hands and feet down on the ground, and even eat, drink and live on the plane the rest of the time. The entire fleet was part of the day and night. When they woke up, they found that they were already in the German Air Force Base outside Paris, France.

The flight instructor gathered more than 100 students to answer their doubts. The time they have been looking forward to is now. The motherland now needs them to contribute their own strength. The frontline battle suddenly turned, and the head of state personally worked out a plan to fight against Britain, and the time had come to collect the old debts from the arrogant and greedy British people. And these flying students will become a key link in the headquarters' combat plan. Compared with their predecessors, they are extremely lucky because they have gained a precious opportunity to feel the breath of war on the front line of the battlefield. You can even gain merit and honor in subsequent operations.

After the initial excitement and excitement, Sperry and his classmates began to feel some panic. They had not completed formal bombing and combat training. They had no concept of air combat. Even a rookie like them was not a good one. Pilots, what role can they play on the battlefield?

At this time, more and more Luftwaffe aviation school students gathered at this base, from Hamburg, Berlin, Brandenburg, Leipzig, Hanover, fighter flight schools, higher bomber flight schools, There is a professional flight school for advanced transport aircraft. Within a week, this base gathered a huge number of thousands of bird eggs, and it is said that there are thousands of bird eggs on the way to France.

The grouping and training plan were released. The students looked at the plans and felt that their brains were not enough, and they could not figure out the way of the heads. What is it going to do? But think about it too. The great head of state is the God of Heaven. God has given angels to Germany. The number of angels can be understood by these mortals. Those who have doubts don’t immediately go to the airport chapel to find the priest to confess. Donate money.

The students of various aviation schools began to be assigned to dozens of French frontier field airports and air bases according to their specialties, where they will take over the aircraft they will fly and immediately begin flight training.

Sperry was assigned to the Green Ridge Field Airport, where he obtained a light bomber, and was also given him a thick flight manual and a French dictionary. The German boy never dreamed that he was on the battlefield for the first time. He was actually equipped with a French plane and an army soldier to serve as a machine gunner and partner. Is this a joke? However, commands are commands, and obedience is the only correct way to treat commands. Sperry and his little friends immediately took part in the intense training.

Take-off, landing, formation, maneuvering flight, instrument flight, radio communication training, these students have long held the flying wing badge, what is lacking is only advanced professional courses and combat training, mastering an aircraft and conducting regular flight for them and It is not very difficult, and soon they will be able to follow the long plane for long-range formation flights.

But what puzzled these students was that they did not conduct combat training from beginning to end, such as ground attack and bombing. Their student group was equipped with fifty Breguet 693 bombers, which were classified as multi-purpose attack aircraft by the French. The guy can carry eight 50-kilogram bombs, and there are 20-mm machine guns that can fire at the ground under the nose and belly. It can be said that the firepower on the ground is powerful, but they have never had a weapon use training.

When Sperry, as a student representative, raised his own doubts, which are common to all flying students, to the superior, the base commander gave him an appointment letter with a laugh, he was appointed as the leader of the first branch of the student group, At the same time, a combat plan was handed over to him along with the appointment letter. At this time, he learned that the headquarters was not prepared to let them face to face with the British, and even strictly prohibited them from contacting the enemy. The task of the student brigade was to carry out various tasks under the command of the general headquarters of the Air Force theater. A feint attack. Strive to disturb the British combat rhythm, try to lure and mobilize the enemy's air defense forces, so that the regular air force of the German Air Force can find the enemy's defense loopholes, occupy the best offensive posture and obtain local tactical advantages, and finally completely destroy the UK The air force's resistance capabilities have achieved the strategic goal of occupying absolute air dominance.

To put it plainly, Sperry and his friends are just a bunch of baits. After understanding his final role and reading the battle plan, Sperry found that he didn't seem to be disappointed, but instead had a sense of relief that relieved some of the burden. Only then did he realize that he was always worried about going to the battlefield.

After all, these boys know how powerful they are, even though the soldiers are on the battlefield, the Jingtai crock, horse leather, and the like. But after all, there is still a psychological difference between death and death.

Three days later, Sperry and his partners flew the aircraft for the first combat flight. Fifty Breguet light bombers were dispatched. It took 20 minutes to take off and form. Subsequently, the various teams formed a standard bomber cruise formation, and the huge fleet slowly climbed around the base, waiting for the fleet to reach an altitude of four kilometers. Another fleet of fifty French Portai 630 twin-engine heavy fighters joined together. As the fleet was closer to the coast, more and more formations joined the formation. When it reached the strait, this has become a foot There is a huge fleet of three hundred aircraft.

As early as when the fleet was still grouped over France, the British radar network had discovered them and immediately began tracking them. When the fleet turned to fly toward the mainland of the opposite side of the strait, the British fighter command alarm bell The masterpiece made the British nervous. The radar station continuously sent reports and found that new large formations are constantly being assembled in French airspace. The now known aircraft groups are pointing directly to Dover, Hastings and Ports. Mouth. According to the volume and speed, it should be the German heavy fighter and high-speed bomber.

The British Fighter Command immediately ordered all duty squadrons of the 11th and 12th Air Forces to take off immediately. Twenty minutes later, the radar network determined that the leading German military fleet had flown over the mid-strait line. The Fighter Command ordered the remaining reserve squadrons to take off immediately. Climb to six kilometers, and intercept the German bomber formation with all strength.

The British Air Force pilots climbed high into the air with full horsepower, and the squadrons that had previously taken off began to gather in the predetermined area according to the instructions of the fighter command. In the battle of hundreds of planes, how could the British pilots be swollen, adrenaline secreted, morale soaring, all secretly vowed to let the Germans know the real strength of the Royal Air Force, and let the Germans also taste the halberd. Taste, this reported the revenge of Dunkirk.

Pilots of the British Flying Squadron who arrived early in the established airspace searched every inch of the sky in their field of vision with red eyes, but found that there were even a few feathers in their surroundings, not to mention airplanes. then. . . . The fighter command sent news that the Germans had turned their heads back. . . .

On the morning of that day, if it was the third, the Luftwaffe’s fleet moved back and forth to play back with the Royal Air Force. The British fighter command was angered by a half-dead pilot and lifted the table!

On the afternoon of the same day, the sixth German large aircraft group was dispatched. The British fighter command, which had no words to speak of, sent only two squadrons to cope with it. As a result, forty-eight hurricanes in Dang'erlang were suddenly hurt by 84 bf109s Thirty ju88 planes took the opportunity to shovel the army material yard and fuel depot near the Brighton and the camp of the infantry regiment.

When the supporting flight squadron arrived, the Germans had long gone, leaving only a broken wall, hurricane wreckage all over the ground, army officers and soldiers corpses flowing across the wild blood, and the fighter command was angered by the half-dead army. table!

The tragedy of the Royal Air Force has just begun, and this is only the first day. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and faster!
