Battle of the Third Reich

With his finger across the huge aerial photograph, Xu Jun found the target he wanted to find under the guidance of Yeshunnec.

"Oh, yes, it looks completely destroyed." Xu Jun lowered the magnifying glass in his hand. He straightened his waist and twisted his neck.

"I have read the report of the battle yesterday. Please convey to me the pilots who participated in the battle and congratulations on their brilliant achievements. Tell them that the meritorious personnel will receive the medals and medals that I personally awarded."

"Observe, my head." Yashunnec bowed his head respectfully.

"Now continue on to the next agenda, His Excellency Chief of Staff." Xu Jun went to the end of the map table and sat down on his gorgeous high-back chair.

"My head of state, our Air Force Staff believes that the current conditions are mature and can immediately enter the second stage of the battle." Yeshunek stood by the map table, picked up a pointer, and pointed at the entire table. Speaking of the aerial map.

"Since this week, the Air Force Command has mobilized the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 4th Air Forces plus the Educational Auxiliary Air Force and dispatched a total of 8,700 aircraft to the Royal Air Force. Effective strikes have been carried out. At present, the 11th Air Force of the Royal Air Force has basically lost its combat capability, and the 12th Air Force has also lost more than half."

"I need more conclusive evidence, Your Chief of Staff." Xu Jun said while lighting a cigar.

"Your Excellency Kesselring." Yeshuneck tilted his head at Kesseling.

"My head of state, we dispatched two fighter wing to conduct an assault on the Dover airspace this morning. The Fourth Air Force took off two fighter groups and a bomber group in Cherbourg and raided the Portsmouth military port. As a result, the attacks were all successful. Only a few sporadic fighter teams of the British Air Force conducted harassment and interception. All of them were annihilated on the spot. Our army suffered minor losses. These losses were all caused by the attack of ground air defense artillery. We can be sure at present. Yes.".

Kesselin stood up and took the pointer from Yeshunek. Point to the southern part of the UK on the map. "The 11th Air Force of the British Royal Air Force, we are known to be divided into seven air defense zones, with twelve main bases and airports. During these two days of raids, we have been able to confirm from Dover to Exeter On the first line, these six main bases have been completely destroyed, and the airport has been severely damaged. The remaining six bases on the second line, in addition to the two airports in the Greater London area and one airport near the northern line, the remaining three bases Have suffered severe losses.

According to the latest high altitude investigation intelligence. There are few aircraft on these bases. At the same time, the report of the Intelligence Department of the Command Department shows that the British army has begun to call the stock aircraft in the strategic reserve library and is delivering to the base of the Twelfth Air Force, but no supplements have been found. Signs of the Eleventh Air Force. ".

"According to the judgment of the Intelligence Department of the Command, the British Air Force is moving their fighter defense belts back. They can no longer afford the losses caused by competing for the southern coastal airspace. They began to concentrate their forces on key air defenses, published this morning in the Times. The third child evacuation order of the London residents of the British government. At the same time, they are evacuating a large number of manufacturing plants from the coast of the Thames, and the city is desperately digging air raids and basements." Weiler said aside.

"How is our loss this week?" Xu Jun frowned and took over the documents passed by Weiller.

"The latest specific data is being collated, my head of state. According to the data compiled by the Air Force Command from the various wing, we have lost 137 fighters from the first air strike to the present, including 30 heavy destroyers. There are seventy-five bombers, all of which are twin-engine bombers, and more than fifty stuka dive bombers. All stuka pilots were shot down when they attacked targets at sea. Most of the lost pilots over the UK have been captured by the British army except for those killed on the spot. The specific number needs to be confirmed by the intelligence system."

"We have ordered the pilots to parachute over the Straits or reach the French coast as much as possible. If they have to parachute over the UK, the pilots should immediately surrender to the nearest British squad or police. Our seaplane fleet is now over the Straits every day. Search and rescue activities." Yeshunnec interjected.

"Here, I would like to thank the head of state for the brave pilots. Thanks to your suggestions, many of our pilots received timely assistance. As you foresee, the British really sent a large number of small fishing boats in Patrolling in the strait, while their fishermen searched and rescued British parachuting pilots, they even attacked our injured pilots who parachuted into the sea shamelessly, and prevented our search and rescue aircraft from approaching.

Fortunately, we followed your suggestion and included a gunboat in the formation of the search and rescue aircraft. Now in the strait, any British fishing boat that dares to be close to our army's pilot in the water will suffer a merciless blow from the gunboat. "

"Order our personnel in the United Kingdom to closely monitor the movements of the German Air Force prisoners of war, their places of detention, the treatment they receive, and if possible, it is best to obtain the specific number and name. The transfer attempt should be reported immediately to the headquarters. I am sure that the British will send the captured people of our army to their other Commonwealth countries, such as Canada, in order to prevent prisoners of war from escaping. We must not let their conspiracy succeed. In this respect, the Intelligence Department of the Command will conduct consultations with the Air Force and the Navy."

"Yes, my head!" Weiller nodded.

"Now let's talk about the results we have obtained. The intelligence personnel of the Command in the United Kingdom have obtained the report of the loss of the Royal Air Force. This is top-secret information, and it cannot be transmitted outside or recorded." Yeshunek confronted the aviation present. The team leader and senior staff said.

"At present, the Royal Air Force has lost 520 aircraft of various types by 12 noon yesterday, including 412 fighters, 90 bombers and 18 other aircraft. The Royal Air Force The total number of single-engine fighters in the Fighter Command has fallen to 330, of which only 80 are left in the flames, and the rest are hurricanes. They also have the latest equipment of handsome warriors twin-engine fighters, the total is only 30 The aircraft was scattered and deployed as a destroyer in their Blenheim bomber brigade. Since the equipment is less than a month old, I think these aircraft cannot produce combat power yet.

According to intelligence, the British Fighter Command is trying to regroup the remaining squadrons and is mobilizing their last fighter reserve. It is believed that there are about 120, of which there are forty Spitfire fighters, plus this month. Produced just half a month ago, it is expected that by next week, the Royal Air Force will receive about 60 flamethrowing fighter jets and 100 hurricanes. The total number of fighters will return to 500. "

"They have run out of lights and the British Air Force's fighter force is depleting his last reserve. Their skilled pilots are running out, and the newly added pilots are said to have only been trained for six months and have just learned to form a team Flying, and most of our pilots have gone through a hundred battles, even the reserve pilots have been fully trained for two years." Kesseling said with a smile.

"Can't be taken lightly, my Excellency Commander." Xu Jun smiled at Kaiserin and shook his finger.

"From the analysis of the combat report of the fighter wing, our technical equipment is only evenly matched with the Royal Air Force, and it does not occupy an overwhelming advantage. Our victory is achieved by clever tactical use and strength advantages. The British Spitfire Fighters are still the most threatened enemy of the Luftwaffe, and they still need to be taken seriously.

I don't want any German pilot to have any contempt for this fighter because of his superstition on the results in the battle report. This will kill him. Therefore, the work of the 9527th imaginary enemy squadron has been completed very well, the headquarters will award it, and the range of air combat confrontation training will continue to expand. Each fighter wing must select seed pilots to conduct advanced confrontation exercises at the air combat training base. It is necessary for each pilot to have a clear understanding of the enemy's strengths and weaknesses. Xu Jun raised an eyebrow and looked at Yeshunnec.

"Your will, my head." The chief of staff of the Air Force nodded quickly and said yes.

"Indeed, my head of state. The British Air Force’s fighter jets only have the opportunity to fight against fire by threatening the bf109. The rest of the models are not worth mentioning. The raid attack you choose is the best tactic against the fire. The high-speed attack weakens the opponent's advantage in horizontal maneuvering. The fierce firepower of the machine gun is used to let it strike deadly," Yasunek replied.

"Spitfire only has a certain advantage over bf109 in roll speed. However, our pilots have reported that when hovering around, Spitfire does not have much advantage over bf109. The main problem lies in the leading edge of bf109. On the wing, many inexperienced pilots often hurry to enter the hover before slowing down to the speed of the slat opening. In fact, if you restrain it a little and wait until the speed is reduced to the automatic slat opening, the bf109 can obtain and fire. The circling radius is about the same." Xu Jun gestured the air combat movement with his palm.

"However, if possible, I still recommend not to be easily entangled with the flame. Our EFI fuel supply system has the advantage of negative gravity maneuver. Of course, this must be used. In addition, I discussed with Kesselin last week. The question, at present, has also been confirmed, is it, General Kesseling." Xu Jun said to Kesseling.

"Yes, my head! We did have problems with the voyage. Due to the large amount of time spent on marshalling and **** maneuvers, the duration of bf109's stay in British airspace was compressed between 30 and 20 minutes. If it is okay to intercept before encountering the enemy, if you want to conduct free safari in the target airspace, then this time is not enough. Many fighters are entangled with the enemy aircraft for too long, and they are in vain when returning. I am very sad and sorry for the loss. However, at present, all the spare parts of the airborne auxiliary fuel tank have been allocated to the fighter wing. The ground crew is working hard to speed up the conversion. The problem of the voyage will be resolved soon.

However, in the current situation, our bombers have also encountered range problems. If fully loaded, the range of he111 will be shortened by one third. To effectively attack the British Air Force’s northern and western bases, we need to modify them. Increase its range, or reduce the amount of bombs, and increase the number of bombings. "

"This is Milch's responsibility. I have begun to intervene, but it will take time." Xu Jun stood up and walked to the side of the map table, staring at the aerial map biting a cigar.

"The Royal Air Force moved the defense belt backwards, that is, they saw the flaws in our voyage. They gave up the frontier air base, they wanted to lure us into the British inland attack, and then use our weakness in the limited air time of the army to concentrate on the persecution. I bombard and fight with the fighter group. Our military aircraft group may not only give up the combat strike task due to excessive fuel consumption, but also become an easy target when returning to the ship."

"I've been guessing the strategy used by the British Air Force. After listening to your analysis, I was suddenly bright. Your wisdom made me admire, my head of state." Yeshun Nek flattered with a smile.

"But we are not the only air force! It is possible to start a deep attack on the British. The British chain-to-radar system has lost his inducement. These behemoths have no use value for us and will cause some in the subsequent operations. Obstruction." Xu Jun spit out smoke.

"It's time to give you two days to destroy all radar stations in the target area, and the headquarters will issue you a written order."

"Observe, my head"

"Yeshunnec, I agree to start the second phase of the battle, and now it is... 1 pm on the 15th. Tomorrow morning, at 1 am on the 16th, and at the same time determine the 16th as the d-5th day." His seat.

"This is the regular meeting. Yeshuneck and Kesselin stayed. After half an hour, they will attend the army headquarters meeting. I think Brauchic will have a lot of questions to ask you. You have half an hour ready. data."

"Observe my head!" Air Force officers stood up and saluted. After finishing the documents and photos on the table, they walked out of the meeting room. Yeshuneck walked at the end. After nodded respectfully to Xu Jun, he brought the door to himself.

Xu Jun turned and walked to the window, raised his head and looked toward the Zeppelin flying high above the base.

"Weirler!"

"Yes, my head."

The name "Operation Sea Lion" always feels a bit murky. How about changing it to "Overlord"? "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and faster!
