Chapter 1102 Air Strike

September 17, 1939, 5:00 am. The Luftwaffe was located at various airfields near the front lines, brightly lit. With the help of the ground crew, the planes are being refueled and ammunition added.

Now, there is still an hour before Germany officially declares war on Russia. However, the order received by the Luftwaffe was to take off at half past five. In other words, when Emperor Qin Tian declared war on Bu Russia, their bombs would fall on the Russian airport.

This time, the German Air Force will invest a large number of fighters to attack 30 important airports in the west of Bu Russia. Destroy more than 3,000 fighter planes deployed by the Russian Air Force on these airports. If this operation can be successful, then it will be a heavy blow to the Russian Air Force. This will make the entire western sky of Bu Russia ruled by the Luftwaffe.

Seizing air supremacy was originally the first important step in launching a blitzkrieg. After success, the German armored forces, with the assistance of the air force, will rush forward and defeat the Russian ground forces.

"Quick! Quick, hurry up, we are running out of time!" A major officer was urging.

In this round of offensive, all the troops of the Luftwaffe on the front line will be dispatched. All fighters from the 4 aviation groups, plus all medium bombers from the 4 strategic groups. A total of 1,440 fighter jets, 480 dive bombers, 480 ground attack aircraft, and 960 H-01 medium bombers will be dispatched.

One after another, the bombs were mounted on the fighter plane. In order to strengthen the strength of the ground attack, bombs were even hung under the wings of those fighter jets. If they are intercepted by the Russian Air Force after entering the Russian airspace, these fighter planes will drop their bombs, shoot down the fighter planes of the Russian Air Force, and cover the bombers of the Luftwaffe to bomb the Russian airport.

In the German Air Force Ministry, Air Force Minister Albert Kesselring is talking to Air Admiral Edward Milch, who is in charge of this operation.

"General Milch, are the air force units on the front line ready?" Marshal Kesselring asked. Now it is less than half an hour before the air force strikes. Marshal Kesselring attached great importance to this operation. This time the attack on Bu Russia will be launched by the Air Force. This is undoubtedly a supreme honor for the Imperial Air Force.

"Marshal, several aviation clusters on the front line are ready. The medium-sized bombers of the four strategic clusters will also participate in this attack. We will launch a fatal attack on the Russian air force. After After this attack, we will rule the entire western sky of Burus!" Admiral Edward Milch looked confident.

The performance of various types of fighters of the Luftwaffe is far stronger than that of the Russian Air Force. At the same time, the tactics they use are much ahead of the Russian Air Force. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for the Russian Air Force to confront the German Air Force.

Marshal Albert Kesselring nodded: "His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to this attack. I hope that our performance will satisfy His Majesty the Emperor!"

"It will definitely!" Admiral Edward Milch was extremely confident.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was half past five in the morning.

The commanders of the airfields on the front line of the Luftwaffe gave the order for the fighter planes to take off.

A huge H-01 bomber took the lead to take off from the airport. Although these H-01 bombers are not as good as four-engine heavy bombers, their strike radius of 1,000 kilometers and maximum bomb load of four tons make these bombers the best tactical bombers. This time their targets were mainly in the west of Burus, which is very close to Germany. These H-01 bombers can take off with the maximum bomb load.

After the H-01 bomber took off, the Stuka dive bomber Predator ground attack aircraft took off immediately. These dive bombers and ground attack aircraft will launch attacks on important targets at various airports in western Burus. Make sure that the important facilities of these airports are destroyed during the bombing. In this case, it will not be so easy for Buer to rebuild the airport.

After the runway is blown up, it can be filled quickly. However, it is not so easy to rebuild important facilities such as oil depots, ammunition depots, and control towers.

After the bombers take off, the fighter jets take off immediately after. Each aviation group of the Imperial Air Force, each of the three aviation wings has one brigade equipped with FW-190 fighter jets, and the other two brigades are equipped with BF-109 fighter jets. This is not because the production capacity of German aircraft manufacturers is insufficient, but that the current BF-109 fighter jets are enough to form an overwhelming advantage over enemy fighter jets. This makes the German Air Force only need to equip a small number of FW-190 fighter jets, which is enough to ensure a firm control of this advantage.

At present, the main fighter equipped by the Russian Air Force is still the old I-15 fighter. There is no way to fight back. Although the improved I-16 fighter is a monoplane, its performance is also very backward.

This made the fighter pilots of the German Air Force hardly pay attention to these Russian fighters. They all regard this battle with Bu Russia as a good opportunity to gain results. Many pilots hope to take advantage of this war and become ace pilots.

After all, Bu Russia's aircraft performance is terrible, but the number is huge. You know, for the I-15 fighter jets alone, there are more than 3,000 fighters in Burusa and Russia. The number of I-16 fighter jets in service is approaching 2,000. Moreover, the output is still rising further.

It is foreseeable that after this war against Bu Russia, many pilots of the Luftwaffe will become ace pilots, or even super aces.

"Marshal, the last plane has left the airport. In the next half an hour to an hour, our pilots will launch an attack on the frontline airport of Bu Russia." Admiral Edward Milch said .

Marshal Albert Kesselring nodded: "May God bless the German Empire!"

At this moment, Qin Tian is on his way to the TV station.

"Your Majesty, the air force has been activated. A large number of our fighter planes are heading to Bu Russia to attack the front-line airport in Bu Russia." The secretary reported to Qin Tian.

"Well, I see!" Qin Tian nodded.

Qin Tian knew that this round of attacks launched by the Luftwaffe would be a stunning performance that would shock the whole world. Only then will other countries know for the first time that wars can still be fought like this.
