September 17, 1939, 5 o'clock in the morning. German Air Force Various airports located near the front lines are brightly lit. Planes one after another are being refueled and loaded with ammunition with the help of ground crews.
Now, there is still an hour until Germany officially declares war on Buru. However, the order German Air Force received was to take off at half past five. In other words, when Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire declares war on Buru, their bombs will fall on Russians's airport.
This time, German Air Force will deploy a large number of fighter planes to attack Buru's thirty important airports in the west. Destroy Bolshevik Air Force more than three thousand fighters deployed at these airports. If this operation succeeds, it will be a heavy blow to Bolshevik Air Force. This will make the entire western sky of Buru dominated by German Air Force.
Seizing air supremacy is the first important step in launching Blitzkrieg. After success, Germany's Armored Forces, with the assistance of the air force, will surge forward and defeat Buru's ground forces.
"Hurry! Hurry, hurry up, we don't have much time!" A major officer was urging.
In this round of attack, all German Air Force troops on the front line will be dispatched. All fighters of the 4 aviation groups, plus all medium Bomber of the 4 strategic groups. A total of 1,440 fighter jets will be dispatched, 480 Dive Bomber, 480 ground-attack Attacker, and 960 H-01 medium Bomber.
Bombs one by one were mounted on the fighter planes. In order to strengthen their ground attack capabilities, bombs were even hung under the wings of those fighter jets. If they are intercepted by Bolshevik Air Force after entering Buru's airspace, these fighters will drop their bombs, shoot down Bolshevik Air Force's fighters, and cover German Air Force's Bomber to bomb the Buru airport.
German Air Force Department, Air Force Minister Albert? Field Marshal Kesselring is talking with the Edward? Milch Air Force General who is in charge of this operation.
"General Milch, are the air force units on the front line ready?" Field Marshal Kesselring asked. There is now less than half an hour before the air force launches an attack. Field Marshal Kesselring attaches great importance to this action. This time the attack on Buru will be launched by the air force. This is undoubtedly a supreme honor for Imperial Air Force.
"Marshal, several aviation clusters on the front line are ready. The medium-sized Bomber of the four strategic clusters will also participate in this attack. We will launch an attack on the air force of Buru Launch a fatal attack. After this attack, the entire Buru western sky will be ruled by us!" General Edward? Milch looked confident.
The performance of various types of fighters of German Air Force is much stronger than that of Bolshevik Air Force. At the same time, the tactics they used were much more advanced than Bolshevik Air Force. Under such circumstances, it would be almost impossible for Bolshevik Air Force to confront German Air Force.
Albert Field Marshal Kesselring nodded. "His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to this attack. I hope our performance can satisfy His Majesty the Emperor!"
"I will definitely do it!" General Edward? Milch was extremely confident.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was half past five in the morning.
German Air Force Commander at various frontline airports issued orders for fighter planes to take off.
A huge H-01 Bomber was the first to take off from the airport. Although these H-01 Bomber are not as good as the four-round heavy-duty Bomber, the strike radius of one thousand kilometers and the maximum bomb load of four tons make these Bomber the best tactical Bomber. This time, their targets were mainly in the west of Buru, very close to Germany. This allows these H-01 Bomber to take off with the maximum bomb load.
After H-01 Bomber took off, Stuka dive bomber Predator ground attack aircraft took off immediately after. These Dive Bomber and ground-based Attacker will attack important targets at airports in the west of Buru. Ensure that all important facilities at these airports are destroyed during bombing. In this case, it will not be so easy for Buru to rebuild the airport.
After the runway is blown up, it can be quickly filled up. However, it is not so easy to rebuild important facilities such as oil depots, ammunition depots, and control towers after they are destroyed.
Bomber After taking off, the fighter jet took off immediately. Each aviation cluster and three aviation wings of Imperial Air Force each have one brigade equipped with FW-190 fighter jets, and the other two brigade are equipped with BF-109 fighter jets. This is not because the production capacity of Germany's aircraft manufacturing plant is insufficient, but that the current BF-109 fighter jets are enough to form an overwhelming advantage over the enemy's fighter jets. This allows German Air Force to only need to equip a small number of FW-190 fighter jets, which is enough to ensure firm control of this advantage.
The main fighter currently equipped by Bolshevik Air Force is still the old I-15 fighter. This is a biplane. Although its maneuverability is very good, its high-speed performance is very poor. Facing the new fighter German Air Force, it will have no power to fight back. Although the improved I-16 fighter is Monoplane, its performance is also very backward.
This makes German Air Force fighter planes pilots almost ignore these Buru fighters. They all regard this battle with Buru as a good opportunity to gain results. Many pilots hope to use this war to become ace pilots.
After all, although the aircraft performance of Buru is terrible, the number is huge. You know, among the I-15 fighter jets alone, more than 3,000 Buru are in service. The number of I-16 fighter jets in service is approaching 2,000. Moreover, output is still rising further.
It is foreseeable that after this war against Buru, many German Air Force pilots will become ace pilots, even super aces.
"Marshal, the last plane has left the airport. In the next half hour to an hour, our pilots will launch an attack on Buru's frontline airport." General Edward? Milch said.
Albert Field Marshal Kesselring nodded. "May God bless German Empire!"
At this moment, Oscar is on his way to the TV station.
"Your Majesty, the air force has been launched. A large number of our fighters are heading to Buru to launch an attack on Buru's frontline airport." The secretary reported to Oscar.
"Well, I know!" Oscar nodded.
Oscar knows that this round of attacks launched by German Air Force will be a stunning performance that will shock the whole world. Only then will other countries know for the first time that war can still be fought like this.
