"Marshal, our air strike has ended. All the more than thirty planned attack targets have been destroyed!" General Edward? Milch reported to Albert? Field Marshal Kesselring with a smile on his face.
"Huh!" Albert Field Marshal Kesselring breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Although, he is undoubtedly very confident in German Air Force's action this time. However, no one can guarantee whether accidents will occur during the operation. Now, after hearing the news of success, his heart that had been hanging around finally returned to his stomach.
"Are our losses big?" Albert Field Marshal Kesselring asked.
"Your Excellency, our losses are not large. We don't know the specific situation yet, but judging from the current general situation, our losses are very small. Only a very small number of fighters were shot down by Buru's ground anti-aircraft firepower. The total losses will not exceed twenty!" said General Edward? Milch.
Albert Field Marshal Kesselring nodded. This time German Air Force dispatched more than 3,000 fighter planes, and only lost less than twenty fighter planes. Such battle losses are undoubtedly very small. Especially compared to the results they achieved, such losses were simply insignificant.
"Your Excellency, judging from the news returned from the front line, Bolshevik Air Force has no defense at all against our attack. Most of their fighter planes were destroyed by us at the airport. There are very few that can actually take off to fight. And, Even those fighter planes that take off are just targets for our fighters to shoot down once they fly into the sky. It can be said that our strength is much stronger than Bolshevik Air Force!" said General Edward? Milch.
"That is inevitable. Under the attention of His Majesty the Emperor, the Imperial Air Force has developed very fast in recent years. The fighters we equip are the most advanced fighters in the world. Even the BF-109 fighter jets are currently unmatched by us among other countries, let alone the fact that we are also equipped with a lot of FW-190 fighter jets. In addition, the training of our pilots , is also the most complete in the world. This naturally allows our air force to have an absolute advantage in the battle. These years of efforts have been in vain, which will give us a great advantage in the war. What we have to do next is to further expand this advantage until the war is finally over!
"The development progress of the Your Excellency, TA-152 fighter jet is also very smooth. It is expected that it will be equipped with troops in two or three years. By then, the advantages of Imperial Air Force will be further expanded. The gap between other countries and Imperial Air Force will also be further widened!"
Albert Field Marshal Kesselring nodded, the TA-152 fighter jet is the pinnacle of propeller fighter jets. Although mass production has not yet started, he is very satisfied with the progress. This will give German Air Force a firm advantage in fighter performance.
Albert Field Marshal Kesselring knows that what Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire pays more attention to is undoubtedly the jet fighter. However, the development of jet engines has not yet made breakthrough progress. But Albert Field Marshal Kesselring believes that judging from Germany's huge investment in this area, it will not take long for it to succeed. This will allow German Air Force to still firmly hold the advantage.
While German Air Force was happy about the success of the air strike, Moscow's Kremlin was enveloped in a storm.
The news that German Air Force dispatched a large number of fighter planes to attack Bolshevik Air Force's frontline airport was summarized in front of Joseph just after the air attack ended. More than thirty airports were nearly destroyed. More than two thousand fighter planes of various types were all destroyed. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Bolshevik Air Force. You know, at the beginning of the war, they deployed almost 40% of their air force to the front line.
Buru also knows that Germany attaches great importance to the Air Force, which can be seen from the last World War. Therefore, Buru is also prepared for this. But what they didn't expect was that German Air Force's strength would be so powerful, far beyond their expectations. Just the first round of attacks caused Bolshevik Air Force to suffer heavy losses. Next, Bolshevik Air Force will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage. This will undoubtedly be very detrimental to Buru's next battle.
"I need an explanation why our air force is so vulnerable in front of Germany people!" Joseph said in a cold tone.
Several Buru air force generals suddenly felt cold all over their bodies, as if they were in an icy winter.
"Comrade Joseph, Germany people launched a surprise attack this time. We did not expect that they would dispatch the air force to carry out a large-scale attack on our airport at this time. Therefore, there was such a huge loss without preparedness." Air Force Commander General Novikov reported.
"Unprepared? Didn't I issue an order to put you on combat readiness?" Joseph was furious.
"Comrade Joseph, we have just issued the combat readiness order, and German aircraft has already flown over our airport." General Air Force Chief of Staff Golovanov replied.
Such an answer obviously did not satisfy Joseph. He almost issued an order to directly dismiss these two guys from their posts and let them go to Siberia to dig potatoes. However, after Great Purge passed, Bolshevik Air Force there were not many talented generals. After these two guys were relieved of their duties, there was no way to find anyone to replace them. Therefore, Joseph could only suppress the anger in his heart.
"Comrade Joseph, the performance of our fighter planes is also much inferior to that of Germany's air force. This makes those of our fighters that were lucky enough to take off to be shot down very easily by German aircraft." General Novikov continued.
Joseph couldn't help but frown. He had long been aware of the gap between the two sides. However, it is very difficult for the aviation industry to catch up with Germany people. This does not happen overnight.
"This time, I won't deal with you two. However, I don't want such a thing to happen again. The air force's charge starts now and find a way to resist the Germany people's attack. In addition, new fighters must also increase investment and speed up the development progress!" Joseph ordered.
"Yes, Comrade Joseph!" General Novikov and General Golovanov both replied. At this time, both of them felt like they were surviving a disaster.
