Chapter 829: A big victory in the first battle

At the Persian Gulf base, the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet has 10 squadrons of Mustang fighters and more than 200 fighters, in addition to bombers and transport planes, all of which belong to the naval aviation.

This time, six Mustang fighter squadrons came over at one time to reinforce it, which shows that the navy also attaches great importance to this air battle.

Six Mustang fighter squadrons, divided into three routes, flew over quickly, and the Germans were taken aback by seeing so many Chinese fighters coming for reinforcements.

However, even if these Germans knew that this was the case, they could only respond now, and soon a larger-scale air battle began fiercely.

The number of Mustang fighters on the Chinese side was more than 300, almost twice as many as the German fighters, and at this time, dozens of German fighters had already been shot down, and they began to be shot down by the 1st Army.

The two sides soon scuffled together.

on the ground.

The soldiers were paying close attention to the air battle in the sky, and when the soldiers saw their reinforcements arriving, the soldiers immediately thundered with joy.

"Haha! Our plane has finally arrived. ”

Many commanders, holding binoculars, looked even more radiant, and everyone saw so many planes coming, as if they saw the dawn of victory.

Even the British officers and men on the ground, who were paying attention to the air battle, were shocked when they saw at least 200 warplanes coming over from the Chinese side.

It's Montgomery. At this time, when I saw that there were really more than 200 fighters, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, what a big deal! That's a lot of money.

At this time, the happiest thing was Montgomery, and the strength of the Chinese army greatly exceeded Montgomery's expectations.

in the sky.

The air battle was fierce, and hundreds of warplanes from both sides fought together in an area of several tens of kilometers. And those twenty or thirty bombers of the German army. After nearly ten were shot down, the remaining bombers had long since disappeared.

In the sky, now it is completely a contest of fighters, in the sky. Planes are constantly being shot down. One plane at a time. Either it was blown up in the air or crashed to the ground with black smoke.

Most of these crashed planes were German fighters. Relying on its excellent performance and numerical superiority, the Mustang fighter firmly gained the upper hand in air combat.

Now, with the further reduction in the number of German aircraft, it is often two or even three Mustang fighters chasing one German plane.

Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Group Army, was holding a telescope and carefully looking at the sky in the distance, where two Mustang fighters were chasing a German fighter, and the German fighter was desperately fleeing.

The two Mustang fighters chasing after them fired from time to time, and the German fighters in front of them were obviously more skilled, and they were lucky several times, and each time they dodged the bullets fired by these two Mustang fighters.

Although the plane was lucky, it didn't mean that it was so lucky every time, and finally, a few bullets hit the German fighter, and soon, the plane was smoking, shaking, and its performance was greatly reduced, as well as its speed and maneuverability.

The two Mustang fighters behind seized the opportunity and a dense string of bullets exploded the German fighter in the air, turning it into a large fireball flying everywhere.

Seeing this scene, Wang Haiyang happily put down the binoculars and applauded again and again.

Montgomery, not far from Wang Haiyang, was also holding a telescope at this time, looking at the large-scale air battle in the sky with great interest.

Air battles with hundreds of fighters are rare, and Montgomery will obviously not let go of this opportunity, and in addition, through this air battle, Montgomery also wants to know about the strength of the Chinese army.

At this time, Montgomery no longer had the same serious face as before, and with the arrival of a large number of Mustang fighters, Montgomery replaced his face with joy and surprise.

The surprise brought by the Chinese army was too great, not only did so many fighters come, but also firmly gained the upper hand, causing the German fighters to flee in all directions.

The strength of the German army, Montgomery is naturally very clear, Montgomery and the German army did not fight once or twice in North Africa, Montgomery is very familiar with this opponent, and now, the German army is actually defeated.

If these Chinese fighters can defeat these German fighters this time, it will not only prove that these Chinese troops are a new force, but also that the strategic balance of the North African battlefield that he hopes for is really about to be broken.

The hands holding the binoculars trembled slightly, and their faces began to flush.

Air battles in the sky, as time went on, as the German aircraft became fewer and fewer, the numerical superiority of Chinese fighters became more and more obvious, and the battle has taken on a one-sided situation.

"It's not good, the German fighters are going to escape."

On the ground, many commanders who were watching the battle with binoculars saw many German fighters in the sky fleeing into the distant sky, and these commanders knew that the German fighters must have tried to escape.

The Germans wanted to escape, but the soldiers naturally didn't want to let go, and many Mustang fighters were chasing after them.

Gradually, these planes faded out of everyone's sight, and everyone knew that these German planes just wanted to escape, and under the fierce pursuit of Mustang fighters, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape much.

The speed of the Mustang is fast, the Mustang is almost the pinnacle of propeller fighters, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to escape from under the nose of the Mustang before the jet appears.

Seeing the huge group disappear into the distance, the soldiers of the 1st Army were reluctant to look away for a long time, and the soldiers still looked into the distance, looking at the Mustang group that had long disappeared into the sky.

The Mustang group of the fighters chased the German planes for one or two hundred kilometers, shooting down almost all the German planes, and only a few German planes escaped in the end.

In the course of the battle with the German army just now, the soldiers lost more than 20 Mustang fighters, which was almost the largest loss in history.

Although the Chinese side lost more than 20 planes, the damage caused by the Germans was even greater, and only a few of the more than 200 fighters that the Germans came to attack finally escaped.

This air battle was also the first battle between the Chinese side and the German army, and the first battle ended in a great victory for the Chinese army.

Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Group Army, saw that the navy had won a big victory, Wang Haiyang was not only happy, but also a little emotional, originally, Wang Haiyang had always thought that his 1st Group Army would fire the first shot in the North African battlefield, but he did not expect that the navy would still take the lead.

However, no matter who fired the first shot, whether it was Wang Haiyang or ordinary soldiers, everyone felt extremely happy, the air battle just now was a real victory.

In the first battle with the German army, the Chinese army won a great victory.

Montgomery, next to Wang Haiyang, saw that the only dozens of fighters left in the German army were chased by the Chinese side and fled, Montgomery felt that his brain was a little short-circuited.

Is this the Luftwaffe you are familiar with? actually fled, the Chinese army is really so powerful.

After a long time, Montgomery came back to his senses, at this time, Montgomery's eyes were obviously different when he looked at Wang Haiyang, before, Montgomery also thought that Wang Haiyang was talking big, at the beginning, Wang Haiyang said that he was going to fight the elite of the German army, at that time, Montgomery did feel that Wang Haiyang was too arrogant.

But now, with the air battle ending in a great victory for the Chinese side, Montgomery felt that the Chinese general in front of him did not say anything big, and Montgomery felt that this Chinese army had this strength, and definitely had the strength to fight head-on with the German elite.

Next, Montgomery communicated with Wang Haiyang very modestly, and once again explained the situation in North Africa to Wang Haiyang in detail.

This time, Montgomery introduced the situation in North Africa in great detail, in the town, the British army headquarters, Montgomery explained for more than an hour, Montgomery's entourage, even opened the military map of North Africa, against the map, the strategic form of the entire North Africa marked, one by one.

Wang Haiyang listened carefully to Montgomery's explanation and introduction, and immediately said that within five days, his 1st Army would launch a large-scale ground offensive against the German army.

And, Wang Haiyan said, the first thing to be seized is the Suez Canal, which is currently controlled by the Germans, cutting off the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean.

Montgomery was very happy to see that the Chinese side took the initiative to gnaw hard bones, and immediately said that as long as the 1st Army launched an attack, the British and American troops would contain a large number of German troops in North Africa and reduce the pressure on the Chinese side.

Attacking the Suez Canal, it was very difficult, around this canal, the Germans deployed heavy troops, Montgomery tried to seize the Suez Canal several times, but, each time failed to make up his mind, Montgomery knew that he captured the Suez Canal in time, and the losses must be great.

The 1st Army took the initiative to attack the Suez Canal, and Montgomery naturally strongly supported it, and if the Chinese army really defeated the German forces in this area and took control of the Suez Canal, it would definitely be good news for the Allies.
