Chapter 367 The Assault Begins From The Air (1)
That would lead to a lot of aircraft loss during takeoff and landing. For the rigorous Germans, it was a serious malfeasance. That happened when the National Defense Force airborne the island of Crete last time. After vigorous rectification and summary by the National Defense Force, Kesselin, the Air Force commander, is now in charge. Today's takeoff was not unexpected and all took off smoothly.
"Buzz...buzz..."
After the German planes were formed, they rushed towards their respective targets. Where the brigade attacked, the target was very clear, and the navigation map had long been sent to the air force commander on the front line.
Hartman is now the commander of the Air Force. He didn't think about flying the plane himself, so he had to stay in the command of the Southern Army Group Air Force Command. This time, Hartman had more than 2,100 aircraft, which was full of two full air forces. There were 50 Ju89 bombers. Originally, Germany had 160 Ju89s that could be used in war, but 110 were divided by the North and Central Army Groups, leaving 50 for Li Mo, which was considered a comforting nature. These 50 Ju89s are of great use. Now other aircraft in Germany have basically only 600 kilometers of combat radius. There is no way for the Soviet deep airports. Now they will be the ju89's dish.
"The First Aviation Division of the Southern Army Group: Our division has all taken off and is now flying across the Soviet border, and no Soviet aircraft have been found."
"I understand. Your division's mission is to bomb all airports around Odessa. Are the detailed tasks arranged properly?"
"Everything is deployed."
“Implement as planned.”
"yes"
The 1st Aviation Division of the Southern Army Group has not many bombers, with 500 aircraft in the entire division. The "BF109" accounted for 200, and there are 150 Ju87 dive bombers and 150 transport aircraft. It is Aunt Juncker. Of course, it can also be used as a horizontal bomber. The bomb load capacity is a bit tragic. Only 2 tons is tragic. Now, no matter how much the bomb load is, as long as you can fly, you have to load the bomb. Even all the "BF109" have two 250 kilogram bombs. The airport's target is so big, just throw it down.
Of course, there will be some "bf109" in all groups that have not been mounted. Their mission is to escort the bomber. Even if they escort the bombs, the same escort. If they encounter Soviet aircraft blocking and intercepting, the "bf109" will directly throw away two aviation bombs on the wing. This is in the Soviet territory. German pilots will not care whether the bombs hit civilians. The "bf109" that throws away the bombs will immediately accelerate to block and intercept Soviet aircraft, and over the Soviet border of the Southern Army Group. However, there are five early warning aircraft and more than 30 radars. As soon as the Soviet aircraft enters the exploration range, various data from the Soviet aircraft will be reported to the Air Force Command immediately, and the Air Force Command will arrange interception immediately, and the time will not exceed five minutes.
Lieutenant Colonel Hansen was awarded the first-class Iron Cross for his brave performance on the Norwegian battlefield last time, and his military rank was also promoted to the next level. Now Hansen is the rank of colonel and is the commander of the First Aviation Division of the Southern Army Group. Colonel Hansen's mission today is to lead a team to raid a military airport in Odessa.
Colonel Hansen took a brigade of planes, thirty "BF109s", fifteen Junker bombers, and fifteen Ju87 dive bombers. When Hansen's fleet had just flew to the Soviet border, he saw flames suddenly flashing in Romania. Orange ballistics flew towards the Soviet territory. Some shells also had long tail flames. The shells with tail flames were definitely Germany's six-barrel rocket launchers. The shooting distance was not far, only 8 kilometers, but the power and density were absolutely unprecedented. The position under the fixed-point bombardment of a rocket launcher battalion was not a solid steel and cement fortification, and there was no hope of survival.
A few seconds later, countless explosive points occurred in the Soviet Union. The violent explosions were flying all over the sky with all kinds of broken dregs. The Soviet territory, which was clearly visible just now, was instantly covered by various violent explosions, and some combustible materials were also ignited. Hansen could no longer see the ground on the plane. In just a few seconds, the Soviet Union was covered by gunpowder. The Soviets in their sleep had absolutely no hope of survival from this level of shelling.
It seems that the ground troops have begun to prepare for artillery. Hansen saw only the tip of the iceberg. Germany deployed seven million troops in the former Poland and launched artillery at the same time on the 3,000-kilometer border. The earth-shaking momentum cannot be described in words. What is important is that the Soviet Union is still sleeping, and countless shells fall into their barracks. It is really hard to say how many of the 3.9 million soldiers arranged by the Soviet Union on the border can survive.
Hansen had no time to deal with the artillery and steel torrents below, but instead found a way to destroy the Soviet planes before they took off. Of course, the Air Force Command also considered it when formulating an air strike plan. Thousands of planes flew over the Soviet border at the same time, and it was impossible not to be discovered. As a result, the army had the upper hand. After the German planes flew together, they began to bombard. In this case, the Luftwaffe's Air Force might lose the opportunity to attack and go from sneak attack to strong attacks.
As the front-line division commander, Hansen felt that the opportunity for a raid was about to disappear, so he quickly ordered all his "bf109" to attack the established target at full speed without escorting the bomber. These "bf109" who arrived at the established target in advance must blow up the runway of the Soviet airport as soon as possible, and be clear about the air defense artillery around the airport.
Hansen was betting that the Soviet fighter jets had not reacted and had not taken off on a large scale, and would not cause harm to his bomber group. After giving the order, Hansen took one of his squadrons "BF109" to attack the Odessa military airport at full speed. This airport is a large military airport on the Soviet border. There were nearly 200 Soviet aircraft alone. If these Soviet aircraft were allowed to take off, it would definitely be a big trouble for Hansen.
Never think that Soviet aircraft have no power to fight against German aircraft. That idea is absolutely wrong. According to the current cost-effectiveness calculation, the German Air Force has made a special assessment. The loss ratio of German fighter jets to Soviet fighters is 1:3.
Today's air raid Colonel Hansen plans to continue the glory of the bed last night, strive to get over 500 shots, and must clean up all the 500 shots on the "bf109" until there is no ammunition on the "bf109".
The speed of "bf109" exploded instantly, and the speed of "bf109" quickly reached 800 kilometers per hour. Odessa is more than 200 kilometers away from the Soviet-German border airport, and Hansen only takes fifteen minutes to reach the sky above the Soviet military airport of Odessa.
“Huhuhuhu…huhuhuhu…”
Hansen's flight squadron rushed quickly and lowered the altitude at the same time to observe the situation on the ground. Originally, Hansen was worried about the Soviet air defense artillery fire on the ground, but he flew all the way, but no shells shot into the air.
