Chapter 226 Ambush in the Air
Italy's industrial foundation is far inferior to Germany, but one of Italy's more advanced is aviation!
Italy has a series of advanced fighter jets, including the current Italian Interference Corps. Although it uses a biplane CR32, it is not that Italian designers do not know how to design monoplane aircraft, but they think that biplane has good turning capabilities and has advantages in air combat.
Moreover, the CR32 has been awarded the title of one of the best biplane fighters.
During World War II, Italy also created many advanced aircraft, even ultra-long-range heavy bombers.
Now, there are several advanced CR32 biplane fighters and several transport aircraft that support Franco.
Franco was quick to act, and after he made the decision, a few hours later he rode a three-engine transport plane to Barcelona!
This is a large transport aircraft that can transport dozens of people. Franco took his most loyal guard to Barcelona!
Although the number of people is not large, Franco is not very worried. There are still a large number of spear party members there! Especially the head of the local spear party, Franco promoted it, and he could use the local forces to control the situation.
He must be fast!
Moreover, he also believed that as long as he went in person, he would be able to convince Cirick to continue to support him!
The conflict between Cyric and himself started with his firm request to fight Madrid first. Now, Madrid has not been defeated, Cyric does his own thing. As long as Franco admits to Cyric, it is definitely enough.
Franco has always been a risk-taking person, and he is bold and careful.
He was not alone, and right next to his plane, there were four CR32s to escort.
In fact, there are not many Republican aircraft flying over the entire Spain, and the four advanced CR32s are enough to protect the safety of their aircraft.
The engine roar was constantly coming from the cabin. Franco closed his eyes, as if he was sure to win, only he knew it. At this time, he was also a little nervous, and there were still many unknown factors.
On both sides of the transport plane, the CR32 fighter was flying smoothly, and the pilot Captain Joaquin Garcia Morato was watching the surrounding airspace while maintaining the smooth flight of the transport plane.
Since flying this fighter jet last year, Captain Joaquin has shot down several enemy aircraft and became the first ace pilot of the National Army. He will escort it. There is no danger in this flight.
The sky is clear and it is a good weather to fly.
Suddenly, several highlights appeared in the distant sky! He immediately shook the wings and signaled his wingman.
The highlights were rapidly expanding! Captain Joaquin's eyesight was quite amazing. He had seen clearly the flying fighter jets, which were the biplane I-15! Such a sturdy fighter jet is easy to distinguish!
It's a Republican aircraft!
Captain Joaquin waved from the open cockpit, signaling his wingman to get out of the transport plane with him and fly towards the target.
To intercept, they must be intercepted! It is incredible, where did these two-winged I-15s come from? They must not be allowed to get close to the transport plane that they are escorting!
"What's going on?" Franco suddenly opened his eyes. He felt that the transport plane he was riding in was increasing its horsepower, and the roar in the cockpit even louder.
"There is a Republican air force who came to harass us. We have divided two planes to intercept." The assistant next to him, the air force commander under Franco, said to him: "Don't worry, we still have two planes to escort, it's very safe."
This time, our side mobilized four CR32 fighter jets to escort, which was fully considered.
However, Franco felt his eyelids start to thrust. He said: "Immediately use radio to notify the Condor Legion and send more planes to protect us. Our whereabouts may be leaked, and maybe more enemy planes will be harassed!"
Flying forward is the airspace controlled by the Condor Legion.
"Oh, damn!" On the fighter plane escorting, Lieutenant Miguel Garcia Pardo shouted loudly: "Look at the top of our heads!"
The open canopy hood gave the CR32 a pretty good view. Miguel looked up and looked at the six single-wing I-16 fighter jets suddenly jumping out from the higher clouds.
The Republican Air Force came here specifically to ambush our own side!
Miguel pushes the throttle lever, the Fiat A.30R.A.bis 12-cylinder liquid-cooled inline engine in the front roars, the propeller rotates quickly, and the biplane's excellent spiral characteristics allow them to turn and climb better.
Two CR32 fighter jets climbed up quickly to welcome the arrival of I-16 fighter jets.
In many battles, the CR32 fighter can defeat the opponent's I-15 biplane, but the competition with the I-16 fighter is not that easy.
Miguel pulled the plane and pressed the button impatiently before he could aim at the other party.
"Dadada." The 12.7mm machine gun was roaring, and a shuttle of bullets flew towards the other party.
However, the other party was unscathed!
The Yi-16 aircraft group was still diving! They passed by CR32 and rushed towards the transport aircraft!
When the sound of machine guns appeared nearby, the people on the transport plane were shocked.
This is just a transport plane, a transport plane without any armed forces, even if it is a bomber, there are machine guns that can defend themselves! And now, they have no means of counterattack!
The entire fuselage was tilting rapidly, and the pilot of the transport plane could only do a maneuvering action and dive down! Trying to get rid of the opponent, Doppler's whistle came from the dive, echoing in everyone's ears.
Holding the handrail in front of him tightly, Franco was still thinking about such a question in his mind at this critical moment of life and death.
What's going on? Who leaked his whereabouts? This time, I made a temporary decision. Few people know about it, and it is even more impossible to notify the Republican Army in time. But now, I was clearly ambushed by the other party easily!
Those who know their whereabouts are their most trusted confidants, and there is absolutely no problem. Apart from these people, I only informed Cialique and told him that he was going to take a plane to prevent him from hitting him by mistake.
Wait, Cyric?
