Chapter 160 Stuka Takes Off (Plus 1)

At the same time, Hans was also an extremely loyal soldier to the Empire. In the latter part of World War II, he once requested a suicide attack, but was stopped by his superiors.

In February 1945, his right thigh was wounded by anti-aircraft fire and subsequently amputated. Although he returned to combat duty after being fitted with a prosthesis.

And the next month, he volunteered to fly to Berlin, surrounded by Soviet troops, to rescue Hitler. Such people are the pillars of the empire!

It is an eagle, it should be flying in the sky, and Hans, this is the feeling, although he entered the Air Force last year, which is a year earlier than his historical experience, but now, he is completely a A veteran of flying, when he pilots a fighter, he feels as if he and the fighter are integrated into one.

And, after he completed flight training, he was assigned to the newly formed squadron of dive bombers.

"Stuka Squadron received." Hans said, at this time, the front engine had started, the Jumo 210Ca engine, roaring one after another, released the brakes, the Stuka bomber, from the tarmac, slowed down. Slowly gliding to the runway, at the beginning of the runway, six bombers formed a formation.

"Squadron Stuka, take off immediately." Hans shouted to his squadron on the radio, and then he pushed the throttle stick to the maximum.

The front engine roared, bursting out with six hundred and forty horsepower, the propeller was spinning rapidly, and Stuka was on the runway, rolling quickly.

Gently pulling the operating lever, the Stuka bomber left the ground. Under the belly, the 500kg bomb was extremely dazzling.

During World War II, Stuka was finally replaced with an engine of more than 1,400 horsepower, and now, with only 640 horsepower, and carrying half a ton of bombs, Stuka can take off easily, which is enough to prove this. Excellent aircraft design.

Behind the Stuka squadron is the He51 squadron. After the arrival of the BF109, the He51 biplane finally does not have to undertake the air combat mission again, and they turn to the ground bombing mission.

A squadron of He51 fighters, sixteen, carrying two 250kg bombs, then took off, and when the group took off, a squadron of BF109 was finally dispatched.

When in formation, BF109 was placed at the back and had to undertake the most important escort mission, which seemed to bring risks to the bomber fleet in front. In fact, this risk was almost negligible.

Because, the excellent mobility of BF109 is enough to make up for the gap behind the distance. They are fast and powerful, and they can catch up and protect at any time.

At the same time, this is also in order not to be exposed in advance.

When the Stuka Squadron took off, it did not continue to climb at all. It was almost a few hundred meters in the air, maintaining the altitude, flying forward, and the He51 fleet behind it, as well.

Super low altitude flight! This is Stuka's specialty, and this bombing method will not be outdated until later generations, and it will give people a sudden blow!

Bombers can fly at ultra-low altitudes, but fighters are not suitable. The escort of fighters is more suitable at high altitudes. In this way, when a situation is discovered, it can dive down from high altitudes at any time to provide support!

So, the BF109 fleet, took off at the end, and at the same time, after takeoff, they began to climb, according to the pre-planned course of action, the fleet was heading north, flying in radio silence.

This was the first large-scale bombing operation, and the Condor Legion dispatched more than 50 fighter jets!

Cyric watched the fleet leave, then returned to his tent, waiting for the battle report ahead.

Although Cyric also wanted to go together, Cyric also deeply knew that as a commander, his post was in the rear. Although he could not easily sacrifice since he had traveled here, it doesn't matter. risk, or to be prevented.

Will this operation be successful? Cyric is full of confidence and will definitely succeed, deal a heavy blow to the international column, and tell them that Europe is not their place to interfere!

Calzada, this is an ordinary town in Spain. At this time, the autumn wind is cool and it is the harvest season.

It is a pity that the war has left the farmland desolate. In such turbulent times, even if crops are sown, it is impossible to harvest! Moreover, in recent years, the system has been constantly changed, farmland has been nationalized, farmland has been divided among farmers, and so on, so few people trust the government.

And on this barren land, the same flattened land has become a flight runway.

International columns, support the Left Alliance and defeat Franco's rebel army!

On one side of the runway is the apron. Dozens of aircraft are gathered on one side of the apron, and at the nearest location, there are several fighter planes that have just been transported and are being assembled.

Lieutenant Colonel Debes stood on the tarmac, looking at the fighter plane being assembled, and his heart was full of anticipation.

This is the latest I-15 fighter jet. In the past few days, the air patrol encountered by the German side is still the He51 biplane. Therefore, the advantages of this new aircraft are considerable.

From the outside, the fuselage of the I-15 is short and thick, and the fuselage is mainly made of wooden structure, which looks cute and cute. The front end of the nose is thick, this is to stuff the M-63 air-cooled engine.

At the same time, the back of the fuselage began to shrink rapidly again. This body definitely looked like a middle-aged woman who ate fat all day.

This is an advanced monoplane designed and manufactured by the Soviets, and it has set many records. For example, the retractable landing gear is the first to be used, and the variable-pitch propeller is also the first to be used.

With this aircraft coming, you can always have air superiority over the rebels.

Lieutenant Colonel Debes, who retired from the Soviet Red Army and came to Spain, is already the head of the Air Force of the International Column. He knows how heavy the burden is on his shoulders.

Now, the rebels are preparing to attack Badajoz, and the air force here needs to protect Badajoz!

"Install the wings!" an engineer shouted, the fuselage has been fixed properly, the next step is to install the wings!

A few people were in a hurry to raise the wings and align them in position. This plane, mainly wooden structure, is quite light.

"Commander!" Seeing Lieutenant Colonel Debes approaching, the engineer in charge shouted to him enthusiastically.

"Well, everyone worked hard," Debes said.

These planes were brought here in the middle of the night. After arriving here, the ground crew and engineers of these international columns began to be busy.
