On the airport runway, Royal Air Force planes one after another were preparing for takeoff. The pilot had already sat in the cockpit of the aircraft and was just waiting for the ground crew to complete the final preparations before taking off immediately.
"Quick! Go faster. There are too many Jack, German aircraft. We can't hold it anymore!" A pilot shouted at the ground crew below.
"I'm already refueling as fast as I can! But this damn tanker can only go so fast. What can I do?" a ground crew member named Jack said impatiently.
"Da da da!"
Suddenly, a German military Mark II fighter plane passed by the turret, and a string of aviation machine gun bullets fired at it. Jack was immediately shot in the chest and flew backwards.
"God!" the pilot shouted loudly.
He quickly jumped off the plane and prepared to escape. However, a bomb had fallen and hit his plane accurately.
"Boom!"
The bomb exploded, also detonating a fuel truck. The flames completely engulfed the pilot and his plane.
Several H1 bomber flew over the shells. The bombs fell from the belly of the plane like dumplings. A dense explosion sounded immediately, and the entire runway was enveloped in flames. The British fighter planes parked on the runway were all engulfed in flames.
The hangar next to the giant is also the target of German aircraft's destruction. With the airport's anti-aircraft firepower suppressed, several H1 fighter jets threw a total of three tons of Aerial Bomb into the hangar. Although, there aren't many planes left in the hangar. But they were still all destroyed.
Immediately afterwards, the airport's ammunition depot, oil depot, pilot dormitory, restaurant and guard tower, etc., all became the targets of the German aircraft attack. Under the bombing of German military and Bomber, these targets were all destroyed.
German military's bombing only lasted twenty minutes. However, when German military finished dropping the bombs and evacuated, the entire airport was in a mess and torn apart.
"God! It's over. It's really over this time." The person in charge of the airport looked at the devastated airport and was about to cry. It will take a lot of time to build such an airport. Now, it's all over. In addition, the losses of those advanced fighter jets and pilots made it impossible for the Britain people to replace them in a short time.
Fighters are okay. Although the production speed is a little slower, we can always replenish them slowly. But pilots are different. Royal Air Force originally lacked enough pilots. Especially experienced fighter pilots. Once the rookie takes off, he will only become a target for Germany people.
Royal Air Force Staff Department, General Trenchard stood in front of the office window, with faces as gloomy as if they could drip water. From his office, you can clearly see thick smoke billowing from the airport not far away.
"Damn it, the target of the Germany people is really our airport. Royal Air Force will definitely suffer heavy losses this time. Now, what should we use to compete with the Germany people for air supremacy?" General Trenchard kept asking himself. However, even he himself no longer knew what to do.
General Trenchard also did not expect that German military's attack would be so swift and decisive, launching a direct attack on their airport. Even capital of the British Empire London is there, but Germany people turn a blind eye.
Although, bombing London will have a considerable impact on the morale of the Britain people. However, it itself is not very helpful in promoting the development of the war situation. Therefore, German Army Air Corps directly made the best choice.
"General, what should we do now? The four major airports have been blown up by the Germany people. Our fighter force has been almost wiped out. Now, there are less than twenty intact aircraft. Most of them were just produced from the factory. The pilot losses are also very large, and the number of pilots with experience in airborne combat is very small." A Royal Air Force general looked confused and helpless.
Originally, Royal Air Force was very weak. After this round of attacks by German Army Air Corps, it was almost destroyed.
"Order the troops to rescue the injured pilots as much as possible. The destroyed airport must also start to be repaired. Restore as much strength as possible!" General Trenchard said.
"Yes, General!" The general nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.
After the general left, General Trenchard closed his eyes in pain. Royal Air Force It took a lot of effort to accumulate such a fortune. But now, it was lost all at once. Moreover, with the war going very unfavorably for Britain, it is no longer possible for them to regain their strength.
The effect of German Army Air Corps's attack is very obvious. Royal Air Force's major airports were all destroyed, more than 170 new fighter jets were lost, and countless pilots and ground crew were injured or killed.
Although Royal Air Force still has a batch of new fighter jets left, because the number is limited, it is no longer enough to pose any threat to German Army Air Corps. In the following battle, Royal Air Force can no longer provide any support to the British Army.
German Army Air Corps lost more than forty aircraft in this round of attacks. Among them, the number of fighter jets reached nearly thirty, but Bomber only had more than ten. Almost all of the lost fighter jets were shot down during air combat with Royal Air Force fighter jets, or were shot down while suppressing ground anti-aircraft firepower.
Although he suffered a lot of losses, he was able to defeat British Royal Navy in one go. This is still a very good deal for these losses. Without the interference of Royal Air Force, German Army Air Corps can then bomb British Army with all its strength.
"Very good, very good. General Seeckt, you did a great job!" Feng Field Marshal Falkenhayn had a smile on his face after getting the final result. He is very satisfied with the results achieved by German Army Air Corps this time.
"Your Excellency, Royal Air Force are too weak. With Imperial Army Air Corps going all out, they simply can't fight against us!" Lieutenant General Seeckt looked very humble.
"General Seeckt, don't we have to worry about the threat of Royal Air Force next?" General Kluck asked. After all, their attack on Canterbury is about to begin.
"Although the Britain people still have some aircraft left, it is no longer a cause for concern. Army Air Corps will completely eliminate all threats!" Lieutenant General Seeckt answered confidently.
