"It's too far. Most of our twin-engine long-range fighter units have been deployed to the western front, and there are only a small number of reserves in the east. If we help the British, even if we abandon all existing plans, we may not have enough time to complete it.

Deployment. The British lost less than half of their aircraft on the first day. Coupled with the presence of German naval aircraft carriers, it was difficult for the British to get a chance to breathe. If I were British, then the routes in India and Iran had not been cut off.

Of

Before, I will withdraw the aircraft to the mainland or evacuate north. The British Air Force in India is not ready for combat at all, and it is also a second-line wing. The combat effectiveness is not as high as on paper." Although Qin Yue did not support Peng Yi

However, he gave another suggestion. If the British withdraw their remaining aviation forces to the north, China's air power will be greatly strengthened, and the German strategic bombers will not be able to attack through half of Iran.

China's deep goal.

"Just because the British are old-fashioned, I guess they will fight again. After all, the British have regarded Balochistan as their own. If the main force cannot be withdrawn, we can use the Russian and Iranian troops.

We will allocate some troops to carry out guerrilla warfare, and we can delay it as long as we can." Peng Yi's words were full of helplessness.

"Actually, the problem is not as serious as everyone thinks. The German Air Force and Navy can rely on paratroopers and Marine Corps to cooperate with the Air Force to quickly paralyze the opponent's air force system. However, because these troops lack heavy equipment and are limited in number, they want to control the entire southeast of Iran.

It will not be easy in the central area. Unless the German Army can quickly take over after the collapse of the British Air Force, otherwise, the elite light troops of the German Navy and Air Force may be trapped in the quagmire. Although we cannot support the British Air Force, as allies, we can help

"Assist Montgomery to the German 5th Armored Division, which is facing Manstein. As long as they are frustrated and unable to mobilize enough troops, then things in southeastern Iran can be put on hold." At this moment,

On the opposite side, Xu Huaide made a suggestion.

He analyzed the whole thing from the perspective of the army. Even if the British Air Force collapsed, even if the British did not have many army stations stationed there, it would not be that easy for the Germans to control this area! Controlling an area requires a certain amount of effort.

Based on military strength.

The air force cannot provide this control force, and the German navy does not have many marines in the Middle East. So as long as the German army can be beaten harder, the final result may be that German aircraft can soar in the skies of southeastern Iran.

A small number of troops can control major cities and transportation hubs, but it may take a long time to spread control to the entire region.

This suggestion is still very attractive. Guderian's Ministry is temporarily unable to move forward, but after the German Air Force sweeps away the British Air Force and the guerrillas on the flanks, Manstein's Ministry can concentrate its full strength on Montgomery. With such a situation

Peng Yi always felt unsafe with his troops on his side and behind.

The Chinese Air Force and Navy used most of their aviation forces to attack the British, while the other part was transferred to the Mesopotamia and Mesopotamia. Compared with the Germans' middle force vacancy, China has just obtained a new independent armored brigade from China.

This unit has already headed to Qom along the road and will soon reach the front line.

While China was considering what actions it should take if the British could no longer hold it back, John Bull was still stubbornly adhering to his planned plan. The Royal Air Force retreated appropriately and reorganized its fleet.

Repair and adjust the fleet, while waiting for local reinforcements on the other side. Out of distrust of our own radar network,

The British chose to concentrate aircraft and air defense forces in the rear. They also rearranged a large number of ground observation posts for warning. The British Air Force in India also began to send Spitfire fighter jets into Iran. Although they can carry auxiliary fuel tanks, they have an unusual range.

For a short flight, it is not easy to reach the destination airport.

"Our fuel capacity is very tight, and our flight altitude and speed need to be strictly limited. We cannot fight in the air. Under the fuel limit, our survivability is not much higher than that of bombers. Moreover, the original radio navigation system has been destroyed, and we sometimes have to

Rely on ground reference objects and the pilot's own experience to determine the flight direction." Afterwards, a British Royal Air Force second lieutenant who once served as a navigator said.

"Remove all the contents of the magazine. We don't need these things anymore. We also need to replace the pylons on the belly and under the wings of the aircraft. We use them to carry the gun pod." In Balochistan Province.

At a British air base in the north, the Jolly Roger Squadron is refitting its Mosquito bombers.

In short, they converted this aircraft originally used for reconnaissance and bombing into a heavy fighter. They tried to reduce unnecessary weight as much as possible, and even strictly limited the amount of fuel carried. After all, they were subtracting a lot of weight.

In addition to weight, this aircraft also needs to increase armor and a large number of weapons.

Another part of the medium bombers could not be converted into heavy fighters due to performance problems, but the British did not let them idle. The British took out the night bombing equipment in stock and installed them on these aircraft, and with the help of China, they rebuilt the night bombers.

Navigation system, these bombers will conduct a night air attack on the Park Port Airport that the Germans have just occupied. The British must use practical actions to tell the Germans that even if you have the first advantage, the Royal Air Force will never surrender!

Considering the range of the Spitfire, the British added dorsal fuel tanks to some Spitfires. This fuel tank cannot be discarded, but has little impact on the aerodynamic layout. The British want to improve the Spitfire through this method

The fleet's stay in the air, coupled with the cannons and aviation fuel obtained from China, gave the British the determination to fight the Germans again. On the fourth day after the launch of Operation Sky Garden, the tired Germans and the aircraft obtained

The supporting British entered a period of tug-of-war, and the brutal war of attrition became the mainstream.

"Firefox called the Butcher and found the German fleet at our 2 o'clock direction. Our squadron will entangle the opponent's BF109 fighters, and the rest is up to you. Pay attention to those BF110s, their firepower is very fierce." Captain of the Firefox Fighter Squadron

Said in the channel.

"No. Firefox, you go attack the BF110. The opponent's BF109 has very weak firepower and limited ammunition, so it does not pose a great threat to us. Those twin-engine aircraft with heavy firepower are our biggest enemies. You lower the altitude first.

The fighters pulled up to medium and low altitude. Then we launched an attack." Benson of the Butcher Squadron rejected the fire.

Captain Fox's suggestion was that as a Mosquito aircraft pilot who had participated in the Italian War, he was very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of German aircraft. According to him, unless the other party was lucky, with his technology and the Mosquito aircraft's

Performance, if a bf109 wants to shoot him down, it needs at least twice the current bomb load!

"I wish you success." After a brief silence, the Firefox Squadron agreed to the other party's suggestion. On the 7th day after the start of Operation Sky Garden, the German bomber group finally encountered a powerful counterattack from the other party! And the main force of this attack was still in the air that year.

The Mosquito aircraft that made the Germans gnash their teeth with hatred during the Italian Civil War. After so many years, the Luftwaffe still has no good way to deal with this guy!

"This thing flies too fast, is quite sturdy, and has good high-altitude performance." With these few comments, until World War II, the German bomber group was the second most reluctant aircraft to encounter, (the least likely to encounter it)

What we encountered was an aircraft from China’s Haidongqing Brigade.) And this time with the addition of anti-air rockets provided by China, the threat level of the mosquito aircraft increased to another level!

The Firefox fighter squadron rushed towards the BF110 fighter jets escorting the bomber formation like an angry bull. This situation has never happened again in previous battles. According to past experience, the British Spitfire will always find its own side for air combat.

The most capable bf109 fought, while the hurricane fighters would look for trouble with the bf110. This time, the Firefox squadron and another hurricane squadron flew towards the bf110 fleet together. This change caught the Germans a little off guard.

However, in desperation, the bf110 had no other choice. After throwing away the auxiliary fuel tank, it was forced to fight with the Spitfire. The bf109 fighter jet that came up to take over the position happened to collide with the mosquito aircraft rushing towards it at high speed. One of them collided with the Mosquito aircraft.

bf109 fighter

He hurriedly sprayed flames against the Spitfire in front of him. The fragile firepower composed of one mg151 machine gun and two 13mm machine guns was nothing to this Spitfire. On the one hand, it was because the firepower was too weak.

On the other hand, it is

The medium and long-range ballistics of the mg151-20 machine gun are not excellent. The length of this thing's shell is shorter than the American 50 machine gun! The ballistic performance is better than the FF Oerlikon machine gun. The advantages of mg151 are high rate of fire, low weight and installation

The medicine is huge

Thin-case bullets. But it is a pity that the Germans have not yet fielded a large number of thin-case bullets. And if they face the Mosquito heavy fighter equipped with 4 Hispano cannons and 4 12.7mm machine guns head-on,

Then the situation must be quite tragic.

This careless novice only saw an overwhelming fire net spraying out from the front of the Mosquito fighter on the opposite side. The four 20mm cannons on the nose of the aircraft sprayed flames that were more than 2 meters long! In an instant, the two sides were directly within reach.

A distance of 300 meters is filled with hundreds of artillery shells of various calibers. In this case, any target that falls into this fire

Objects in the net will be torn into pieces by the violent rain of bullets! Facing the British's bull-like attack, the remaining BF109 fighter jets dodged and tried to rely on their good maneuverability to go around to the rear of the opponent to attack. The British Mosquito fighter

Not caring about these flies, they set their target on the bomber in front!

"These things are so difficult to fight!" The German fighter pilot once experienced how difficult the Mosquito aircraft was. The frontal firepower could be described as brutal. When the bf109 fighter jet circled behind, the Germans found that at this height, their own

There is no advantage in speed compared to mosquitoes. Even if it can get close to a distance of about 300 meters, as long as the opponent can advance

If you notice it, you can easily throw it away, and the time to fire is very short! In addition, the 20mm cannon ammunition of the bf109 is really pitiful, so the pilots must save ammunition as much as possible. But even so, most pilots find that even if they

It may not be possible to shoot down a mosquito by firing all the 20mm shells, and it is even less possible with a 13mm machine gun.

"I clearly saw my machine gun bullet hitting the opponent's engine hood. The bullets collided with the armor and spattered sparks, but the opponent still flew as if nothing happened. Our firepower is too weak!" A German pilot cursed loudly.

road.

Each Mosquito aircraft can carry 8 rounds of anti-aircraft rockets. Two squadrons of Mosquito bombers fired nearly 200 high-speed rockets in a very short period of time. The rockets fired diagonally upwards rushed like a waterfall of flames.

At this time, the straight-line distance between the two sides was only about 700 meters, and the two sides

The relative horizontal speed exceeds the speed of sound! In other words, in less than 2 seconds, the rocket will explode in the German aircraft fleet. In an instant, the sound of explosions and the piercing screams of the rockets as they fly over fill the entire fleet.

The orange flames produced by the rocket explosion and the bomber that was hit outlined a tragic scene.

The JU88 bombers at the front became the first victims. Unable to dodge, they used machine guns to fight back in vain. Then they watched helplessly as the rockets hit the plane and turned into a huge flame. This wave

The explosion of the attack was so violent that the shrapnel and aircraft debris flying in the sky even hit and killed the subsequent

Mosquito aircraft entering the battlefield! The crackling collision caused the high-speed mosquito aircraft to shake continuously. One mosquito aircraft was even forced to withdraw from the battle because it was hit by a large number of high-speed shrapnel. Because the attack distance was a bit close, this

After the first battle, almost all Mosquito aircraft had some bullet holes in their skins.

These Mosquito aircraft loaded with cannons and machine guns were like angry porcupines running rampant in the formation of German bombers. The fierce Mosquito fighter aircraft and the heavy bombers that were also called fire hedgehogs collided with each other, and countless machine guns were fired.

Roaring crazily, dark red bullets shuttle through the air, looking for unlucky targets in the air. In this case, the protective effect of the so-called technology and the aircraft itself is already very small, even if a large amount of armor is added.

, but the wings and a considerable part of the body were still fragile. A Mosquito aircraft was continuously concentrated by bullets fired from several directions, and the flying tongues of flames directly broke one of the wings. The still-rotating propellers were damaged.

The wings of the plane were moving irregularly in the air. The plane was still flying, but the pilot on it was dead. Several large-caliber machine gun bullets fired from the side penetrated the cockpit armor, injuring the equipment and personnel inside.

A ball of mud.
