Calais suburbs, German Army Air Corps airport. Stationed here are German Army Air Corps 3rd Fighter Wing and 4th Bomber Wing. 3rd Fighter Wing is equipped with 120 Mark II fighter plane, while 4th Bomber Wing is equipped with H1 bomber.
Although, compared with the beautiful and powerful fighter jets and Bomber of later generations, these Mark II fighter plane and H1 bomber equipped by German Army Air Corps are undoubtedly like ugly ducklings. However, I have to admit that they are already the most powerful fighters and Bomber of this era. At least, the opponents of Germany all hope to be equipped with a similar aircraft so that they can withstand the air battle with German military.
Of course, the more advanced aircraft Germany is being developed in China is more powerful than Mark II fighter plane and H1 bomber. However, the technology is not mature yet, so it has not yet been mass-produced. When the next batch of advanced aircraft are mass-produced, the air power of German military will be improved again, leaving other countries far behind.
The airport is busy. Ground crews are refueling and attaching ammunition to the fighter jets and Bomber that are about to take off. The pilots were taking the time to have breakfast and listen to combat briefings. These pilots go out every day to bomb British ground targets, which has become their daily routine.
"Boss, we have launched large-scale bombings on the Britain people's positions for three consecutive days. It has also caused a lot of casualties to the Britain people. But why haven't any of the Britain people's planes appeared? It's so boring to only be able to bully the anti-aircraft weapons hiding on the ground every day." A young pilot complained.
"The planes of the Britain people are just cowering behind, and they don't dare to fight at all. I don't dare, I believe, they will definitely go to war soon. If this continues, we will soon be able to cover the infantry and hit Canterbury. By then, can the planes of the Britain people still hide behind?" said a squad leader.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Everyone get on the plane and cover the 41st Brigade to attack the Britain target!" Squadron Leader of 31st Fighter Group ordered.
The serial number of German Army Air Corps, the odd number is a fighter, such as 3rd Fighter Wing, and the even number is Bomber Wing, such as 4th Bomber Wing. Each wing has three brigades, and below the brigades there are squadrons and squadrons.
Each team has a total of four aircraft, divided into two two-plane formations, with a lead aircraft and a wingman. Three squadrons form a squadron, with a total of 12 aircraft. Three squadrons plus four spare aircraft form a group, with a total of 40 aircraft. The three groups form one wing, with a total of 120 aircraft. As for Air Force above the alliance, it has not yet been established. It is estimated that it will not be established until Imperial Air Force is established.
"Yes, sir!" the pilots all replied, and then with the help of the ground crew, they got into their respective planes.
Fifteen minutes later, 36 Mark II fighter planes of 31st Fighter Group took off from the airport and flew to the west of Dover Strait to escort the accompanying 36 H1 bombers of 41st Bomber Group.
The mission of 31st Fighter Group's fighter jets is to protect the safety of these Bomber. Threats not only come from the sky, but also from the ground. Although Royal Air Force's plane had not appeared for a long time, they did not dare to take it lightly. Although the fighter performance of Royal Air Force is far inferior to that of German Air Force and Mark II fighter plane, the bulky Bomber is still vulnerable to these aircraft and can be shot down easily. The threats on the ground are mainly the anti-aircraft weapons equipped by the British Army. Once these anti-aircraft weapons are discovered, fighter jets need to straf them or even bomb them with small bombs hanging under the wings. Only after these obstacles are cleared can Bomber be able to drop the bombs without threat.
The narrow Dover Strait flew over in just ten minutes. When the plane flew over British mainland, the pilots became nervous. This is fighting in the enemy's airspace. Once shot down, even if you parachute, you will fall into the enemy's control area. Once caught, a fool can guess what the consequences will be. Those angry Britain people will definitely tear them into pieces.
Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way, and it was not intercepted by Royal Air Force, and it had already flown over the target.
"Prepare to drop bombs!" Squadron Leader of 41st Bomber Group ordered.
With the advancement of radio technology, aircraft equipped by German Army Air Corps frontline troops have been equipped with radio communication devices, which can smoothly convey the commander's orders to each aircraft. For this alone, German Army Air Corps has already reached the forefront of the world.
More than thirty H1 bomber began to lower their altitude and prepared to drop bombs.
The target they wanted to bomb this time was a British army Infantry Division position southwest of Canterbury. Previously, German Navy battleship had already conducted heavy shelling on this area. Most of the British defenses had been destroyed. Sending Army Air Corps here is just to destroy those fish that slipped through the net.
"Da da da!"
On the ground, tongues of fire suddenly shot up. This is the British anti-aircraft machine gun firing.
"Pull up! Pull up quickly!" Squadron Leader of 41st Fighter Group shouted loudly.
H1 bomber's body structure is very fragile, with only a thin layer of armor on key parts. These armors can't even withstand bullets from anti-aircraft machine guns.
The bullets fired by the British anti-aircraft machine guns hit the H1 bomber's body and penetrated straight through.
The wing of a H1 bomber was broken, the aircraft lost its balance and fell directly to the ground. The aviation fuel carried on the plane combined with the bomb exploded.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded, and the downed H1 bomber turned into a burning fireball.
Under the sneak attack of the British anti-aircraft machine guns, three German militarys and H1 bombers were shot down. The other Bombers pulled themselves up one after another and flew high into the sky, thus escaping the disaster. But many planes were still damaged and had to drop bombs in a hurry and escape.
"Damn it! 1st Squadron, clear away the anti-aircraft firepower of the Britain people on the ground." Squadron Leader of 31st Fighter Group also felt his face burning. We have carried out many such cover missions before, but there has never been such a mistake. Now, three Bomber have been lost, which is undoubtedly a shame!
The 12 Mark II fighter planes immediately rushed to the ground, ready to teach the Britain air defense troops a lesson.
