Iron Wing Eagle Yang Chapter 29 Two Powers Meet (Revision)
Chapter 29 of the first season of Thunder Rescue, the two strong meet
Autumn in France is beautiful, whether it is the fuchsia grapes in the vineyards that have become heavy in the sun, or the gentle feelings of the maidens, which have immersed countless foreigners in this wonderful life.
However, at the end of 1916, the already cold French autumn showed the cruel side.
The ground was covered with iron and blood traps, and the roar of machine guns and artillery resounded in the sky. Modern steel behemoths roam the French wilderness. The most beautiful autumn fairy tales are completely broken in these elements that are constructed into cruelty.
The long barrel of the cannon erupted, spewing out thunder and fire like the wrath of Zeus. In the violent explosion, the fortresses that confronted it were torn into straight pieces.
"Tornado attention, tornado attention, clouds 2200 meters, wind direction ......"
In the headphones, the unpleasant voice of the squadron leader of the former Lafitte squad sounded. Since Ruiwu. Louberry had already planned to go to China after the war, and now he had dissolved into Thunder International, and his epaulettes had been replaced with the rank of captain. The "Tornado" he called was the code name for the Iron Wing Flying Force, a group of aircraft that protect air superiority and ground attack support.
The airbags of its large "Hawkeye" airship are completely hidden in the dense dark clouds. In order to make it easier to observe the situation on the ground, only part of the pod is exposed.
With his order, there was a faint "buzzing" sound, and 36 "Saber A" air superiority fighters from a squadron of the "Iron Wing Flying Team" of Thunder International, protecting 72 "Benlei attack planes" of two squadrons, came to the battlefield at Verdun.
Straight Frank left. Luke, who acted as the leader of the first squad, followed by Tang Yunyang's wingman. The emblem of this wingman is a little weird, that is, it is not as sharp as Tang Yunyang's "Iron Eagle", nor is it as romantic as Zhu Binhou's "Sagittarius". Its emblem is a scythe, and when it is swung, ears of wheat fly.
Piloting this "Sabre-A" air superiority fighter is Wang Anyang, as the fastest and most technologically advanced among the pilots from China, he has become Tang Yunyang's wingman.
The attack, launched by General Petain, the commander-in-chief of Verdun, used the French 1st Assault Cavalry Division, which has been working with Thunder International and is also the most armored force in the French armed forces, and hired the "Iron Wing Flying Team" of Thunder International as an air cover force.
According to the influence of the team itself on the military department, the use of these two units is basically impossible. However, with the strong recommendation of Marshal Xia Fei, who was about to retire, and with the influence that Tang Yunyang secretly exerted, he only used two infantry divisions in addition to the two units in front to launch a limited attack.
The War Office agreed to launch this operation on the basis that if anything happened to the offensive in the direction of the Somme, and the limited attack here was successful, then the government would have confessed to the people.
"What the hell!"
Wang Anyang raised his head and looked around. As fighters, they flew close to the clouds, ready to strike at the invading German planes. In order to ensure that they fly below them, they are ready to respond to requests from the ground at any time and dive down to attack the target of the "Ben Mine attack group".
"The chief is probably in a good mood, if it weren't for the war, I'm afraid that there would be some new tricks to fly!"
Indeed, despite being in the midst of war, despite the uncertainty of life and death, Tang Yunyang's mood is indeed very good. His mood was not because of the performance of the "Sabre-A" air superiority fighter, although he loved flying very much. It wasn't because after staying on the ground for a long time, he could fly into battle, and that wasn't enough to make him happy to want to fly a somersault.
"Haha, I'm going to have a son!"
As a father-to-be, how can he not be overjoyed to hear the news that his offspring is about to come to the world? Tang Yunyang, who was sitting in the cabin, couldn't feel the cold in the air at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, nor could he feel the turbulence of the air current, how did he know that taking off with such good news almost killed him.
"That bastard's Satanic Eagle, can't he just stay by the fire!"
In the upper floor opposite Tang Yun, he sat on a red-painted Richthofen and cursed viciously. Their planes are not guided by the "Eagle Eye" in the air, so their patrol altitude over the battlefield is about 1,800 meters. Even so, he had to say that the "Knight A", armed with two 12.7 mm machine guns and a 20 mm cannon, was indeed an excellent aircraft.
Whether it is his flight speed or combat performance, it is still much higher than other German fighters in service. In particular, this kind of fully enclosed cockpit, although it has a slight impact on the command time, but at high altitude in this cold weather, it reflects its superiority.
"Boy, if you want me to run into you this time......"
Originally, the hunting team he was in was not transferred to Verdun, but when he heard the news that the "Satanic Eagle" had reappeared in the sky, his blood couldn't help but burn again. In the end, he had to be transferred here through the German crown prince.
"Tornado attention, in the western direction, 72 German aircraft 'Knight heavy air superiority fighters', altitude 1800, distance ......"
In the headphones, there was a "Hawkeye" on the Ruiwu. Captain Louberry's voice, although the visibility was not very good under the winter clouds, but the large magnification telescope could still observe the German fleet 20 kilometers away.
The entire 36 "Saber A" air superiority fighters began to climb upwards and flew into the clouds, completely relying on the navigation of the "Hawkeye."
Seventy-two "Knight" heavy air supremacy fighters appeared on the battlefield soon after, and from an altitude of 1,800 meters, the "Benlei" attack planes below were clearly visible to the German pilots.
At this moment, those "Benlei" attack planes are constantly diving down, providing air fire support for the attacking French army.
"It's an attack aircraft!"
Red Baron Richthofen was a little disappointed, he didn't come here to fight these sturdy "Benlei" attack aircraft. Moreover, this kind of aircraft is not very easy to fight, especially when they use up the weapons mounted on the plane and then fly away, the power of the two powerful engines often makes it difficult for other fighters to catch up.
At this time, the signal of the attack from the squadron leader Captain Osvaldo Polk, an attack wave consisting of 36 "Knight" heavy air superiority fighters, dived downward.
"Camels, immediately retreat in an air defense formation to the southeast, the Tornado immediately acts, the German fighters below the target, repeat ......"
With the command orders constantly issued on the "Eagle Eye," the "Benlei-type attack planes" that were at a low altitude immediately lined up in a circular anti-aircraft formation, relying on tail machine guns to cover each other's tails. Then the climb began to move southwest, and that was the direction in which the fighter group that was coming from Nancy would appear.
Captain Osvaldo Polk's stern gaze swept upwards, and as far as his eyes could see, he could only see the thick clouds, but there was no way to spot the figure of the "Saber A" air superiority fighter group that was diving down in the clouds.
Immediately, he swung his wings and once again pressed towards the "Benlei" attack plane, which was climbing with the remaining 36 "Knight" heavy air supremacy fighters.
He knew that once they reached a certain altitude, they would dive down again, and then quickly evacuate at high altitude and low altitude. At that point, it won't be able to catch up.
As the German high-altitude fighter group dived, the figure of the "Saber A" burst out of the lead-colored clouds like lightning. The landline that was painted with the "Steel Eagle" emblem on Tang Yunyang's head was just out of the thick clouds, and the fighter plane painted in bright red with two large Maltese crosses came into Tang Yunyang's eyes.
"Long time gone, Mr. Red Baron!"
Seeing this red fuselage, Tang Yunyang felt good for a while, seeing his idol, as a fan, he should come forward to say hello anyway.
Richthofen, who was manipulating his "Knight A", suddenly had a hint of foreboding in his heart, and at the same time he felt as if he had met an acquaintance. Guided by his own senses, Richthofen raised his head in a daze, and almost instantly, his eyes saw the emblem of the long-awaited Satanic Eagle.
Richthofen, who had always been free and flying like a whimsical flyer, did not even greet anyone, only to see the nose of his big red plane suddenly raised, raised his head like a cobra, and single-handedly pounced on the "Saber A" group that pounced on the downing "Saber A" plane.
At the same time that Richthofen left the team without permission, the pilots of the other German flying teams spotted a group of incoming Saber A air superiority fighters.
"Hell, where did these 'sabers' come from?"
Captain Osvaldo Polk exclaimed in his heart as soon as he steered his plane and led his fighters to turn. He couldn't figure out why these planes were like ghosts for the first time, appearing out of nowhere and making a surprise attack when their own fleet attacked.
The swooping plane resembles an angry horse, and the excessive speed makes the shelf fuselage of the aircraft make a low "crunch" sound, and the joystick seems to become heavy.
At this time, Tang Yunyang's eyes seemed to have passed through space, staring closely at the figure of the red "Knight A" plane, as for his descendants, he had forgotten about it at this time, and all that burned in his whole body and mind was only the blood that burned.
"Come on, boy!"
In the same way, Richthofen has long forgotten his duty, or he will not be the best air commander in his life, but no one can deny that he is the best air knight. Chapter 29: The Two Powers Meet (Revision)
