Just as there was a brief pause on the battlefield of the hilly offensive and defensive battle, there was a "buzzing" sound in the sky.

The paratroopers, accustomed to being protected by the Iron Wing Flying Team, looked up into the distance, wondering if it would be another group of their own planes that had come to change shifts.

What caught their eyes were some triplane fighters.

Guo Chaodong, who had just returned to the regimental command post, had just taken out his kettle and drank a sip of refreshing wine. When he was about to take advantage of this gap to nap in a certain place, the sound in the sky made him sleepy. Take out your binoculars and look out into the distance.

Flying in there were some two-winged "Albatross DII-A" with a spinning spine fuselage.

"German planes! Order the companies of anti-aircraft machine guns and 37-mm high-level dual-purpose guns to prepare for battle! ”

With Guo Chaodong's order, the paratroopers who had just sat down and wanted to take a breath suddenly became busy again. The shooter of the 12.7 mm machine gun quickly adjusts the firing angle of his machine gun. The 37-mm cannons also raised their "heads", staring at the sky with vigilant eyes.

The "Albatross DII-A" flew so high that it was clear that they were not planning to attack the paratroopers on the ground for the time being. Their targets are the Iron Wing Flying Team in the sky, as well as the Hawkeye 2, which is 50 kilometers away.

Long before, observers on the "Hawkeye 2" had already spotted the incoming German aircraft. At this moment, they were using radio to contact Tang Yunyang, who was still preparing to attack the small city of Laon.

"Sir, the fuel for the fighters and attack aircraft is not enough to continue the operation, but the successor aircraft has not reached the designated airspace for the time being. If we can, we hope to keep Hawkeye 2 at a safe distance from ...... battlefield! ”

Tang Yunyang, who was on the radio, was silent for a while, and now the two tank regiments of the Thunder 1st Division were making preparations for attacking the small city of Laang. If complete battlefield air supremacy is required, then advancing field airfields are a must. However, between the capture of the small city of Laon, it was simply impossible for a shorter-range aircraft to maintain air supremacy on the battlefield for a long time.

"Well, Hawkeye 2 can be safe away from the battlefield and wait for the escort fighters to arrive. Now the fighters above immediately launched an attack on the German incoming aircraft group, and the attack aircraft launched an attack on the assembly area of the German ground forces. Once the attack is complete, all the fighters will immediately return home! ”

After Tang Yunyang issued an order to Hawkeye No. 2, which was in charge of coordinating various ministries, he then connected with Guo Chaodong.

"Commander Guo, the operation of the paratrooper regiment may temporarily enter a difficult period. I am leading the main force to attack the small city of Laon, and after capturing the city, we will be able to gain full air supremacy in the theater. I need you to hold on to this place without air supremacy until the main force is fully missioned! ”

Guo Chaodong was also silent when he heard the news, he had just repelled the German attack, and he knew that if he temporarily lost air supremacy, then the paratrooper regiment would face a complete encirclement in the sky and underground. And he won't even be able to get more supplies until the main force captures the small city of Ramo.

Even though he felt the weight of the burden, he gritted his teeth and replied.

"Yes sir, our paratrooper regiment will hold the heights until the main force completes its mission!"

As Tang Yunyang and Guo Chaodong finished talking, the battle in the sky was already in full swing.

Wang Anyang, the pilot of Leonardo da Vinci's squad, piloted his plane and pounced on the oncoming German plane. The number of aircraft groups on both sides is 100 Albatross DII-A fighters against 30 Tomcat heavy air superiority fighters.

"Fighters pay attention, pay attention, don't engage in too long a grappling, and return home immediately when you run out of bullets!"

Just as the fighters of both sides began to pounce in the air, the "Benlei attack aircraft group" pounced from a low altitude on the German infantry who had just retreated. The German infantry, carrying their wounded men and returning with a fear of the heights, were again attacked from the sky.

The difference is that these Benlei attack aircraft are like crazy. The German infantry was poured down on the German infantry with their carrying, whether it was the "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers" personnel anti-personnel bombs, rockets, and machine gun bullets.

In one of their swooping attacks, they created a miserable hellish scene on the ground. Hordes of German infantry, raising their rifles or submachine guns to attack the swooping hellish gods, were knocked to the ground in one fell swoop.

All machine gun nests or mortars and other weapons and equipment deemed a threat were lost under their attack. A single dive of 50 or 60 "Benlei-type attack planes" almost completely rendered a German infantry regiment completely incapacitated.

The German infantry division, which was helpless to attack the high ground, had to use its reserves in advance to fill the gaps in the attacking troops.

In the sky, Wang Anyang finally piloted his "Tomcat" heavy air supremacy fighter to break into the German albatross DII-A group, disrupting their formation.

Among his sights, the 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun kept firing long point shots. Immediately when the bullets were exhausted, they collectively made a beautiful turn and dive, and accelerated away from the battlefield amid the incomprehensible shouts of the Germans.

In a hedging in the air, because the "Tomcat" heavy air superiority fighter can be called fierce firepower. Because of the "ill-intentioned" Albatross DII-A in a tight formation, as many as 8 aircraft were shot down, while the opponent lost only two aircraft.

The other, although wounded, did not fall, but dived with the other aircraft and left the battlefield.

"These scumbags! But if they're gone, we can focus on our own business! ”

The German pilots shouted, and although they were not convinced, they did not have time to pursue the group of Iron Wing Flying Forces, which had gradually moved away. They also had the task of attacking the ground, and the 12-kilogram bombs mounted by the planes also made it impossible for them to catch up with the enemy planes that had already been lightly armed.

Immediately, the "Albatross DII-A", which was also a fighter-bomber of the German flying team, began to dive and drop bombs on the hills where the paratrooper regiment was stationed.

It is a pity that the flight speed of the Albatross DII-A cannot be compared with the sturdiness and dexterity of the "Tomcat" heavy air superiority fighter. There is also no sight suitable for low-altitude or even ground-grabbing attacks like the Ben Mine attack aircraft. They swooped headlong into the ground, caught in a net of fire consisting of a 37 mm rapid-fire cannon and a 12.7 mm flat-flat dual-purpose machine gun.

However, the 12-kilogram bomb fell on the position of the paratrooper regiment by the attraction of the earth, and the Germans did not have any "heavenly maiden scattered flowers" type personnel personnel bombs. However, the Germans also had a weapon poison gas that the Thunder International was reluctant to use.

As clouds of yellow-green smoke spread over the high ground amid the sound of explosions, the firepower of the anti-aircraft fire weakened. As more albatross DII-A fighter-bombers swooped down in the sky, the paratrooper regiment suffered a significant increase in casualties.

"Poison gas...... Gas...... Put on a gas mask! ”

Such cries rang out one after another in the positions of the paratroopers, and the paratroopers quickly pulled out the gas masks that they had been carrying in their satchels.

It should be noted here that the gas mask in the hands of Thunder International was not the same as the ordinary gas mask used in various countries at that time. They were slightly more advanced than their counterparts at the time.

First of all, the one-piece observation window is more conducive to combat. Secondly, the inner cover of the mouth and nose is completely covered, and the pollution of the observation window by water vapor is eliminated. Finally, the combination of adsorption and filtration of the poison filter tank has a stronger ability to filter the poison and lasts for a longer time.

As the number of poison gas bombs dropped by the Germans increased, the German infantry under the hills took the opportunity to launch another round of attacks. However, it is a pity that just now a regiment has completely lost its combat capability under the attack of dozens of "Benlei-type attack planes", so the siege on three sides has turned into an attack in only two directions.

As the German infantry approached further, another fierce battle ensued. However, the strong combat effectiveness of the paratrooper regiment made the German army also fail to achieve their goal in this attack.

However, the "Albatross DII-A" that was constantly diving in the air caused a lot of damage and trouble to the paratroopers on the ground. In fact, they may have caused more trouble for themselves, but that is a story for later.

Speaking of which, whether it was the main attack of the Thunder Division led by Tang Yunyang or the hard fighting of the paratrooper regiment on the high ground, there was only one purpose. It was to completely cut off Rommel's rapid cluster and a crushing assault on the Somme front of the British and French forces.

Whether attacking Paris or attacking the Somme defense line of the British and French forces, Rommel's hundreds of assault guns and a large number of wheeled armored infantry units equipped with "artillery and artillery integration" are a formidable force that cannot be ignored.

Sitting in a jeep with captured French troops, Erwin. Rommel was a little unsettled, he didn't know why his brigade commander, Guderian, had summoned him back to the command post in such a hurry.

"Could it be that my achievements have made them think that I am all about fighting for fame and fortune? …… No, they are not such people, they should be able to see that the British and French forces on the opposite side are in disarray in the face of our attack. It turns out that their big nomad tanks are no match for our assault guns. If I could still go 50 kilometers today...... I think we're going to see them break down, but why did they stop? ”

(Book 17K debut) Don't laugh at group A: 35761481; Email:qljrjaaa@

This is something that Rommel has been thinking about all the way, but has not grasped the essentials.

As for the first guess, it didn't stay in his mind for long. After working together for a while, he could already see that the two partners were the kind of officers with perfect personalities, and working with them did not have to think about other things that were not worth thinking about.

"Hell, who's going to tell me why they called a halt to today's battle?"

The grumpy Rommel scolded for only one reason, he was an officer and a good officer. He couldn't just watch the chance of victory slip away, someone had to take responsibility.
