"Damn it! They actually accelerated! Can you fly so fast with a bomb? Suddenly, Parker felt like he had miscalculated, and the encounter was a little faster than normal estimates! As a veteran, he is confident in his ability to take chances, so the only problem can be whether the opponent accelerates or climbs shallowly! But the other side has a bomb! Even the British can't build such an airplane no matter how against the sky, right? Parker suddenly felt that the situation in front of him was a little upend for his cognition.

"Turn the power up to the max, remember, we only have 3 minutes!" As the throttle is pushed to the end, a large amount of fuel is injected into the engine, and a surging power is generated from the engine, pulling the plane to a faster climb. 3 minutes! Parker's fighter was able to maintain this power for only 3 minutes. If it takes a little longer, it's hard to say what will go wrong with this BMW-made engine. (Generally, the maximum power output time of the aircraft will not be long, for example, the maximum power output time in the manual of the F19A8 fighter is 3 minutes, and there will be an accident if it is long.) ）

"Ready for battle...... Throw away the drop tank. When the British launched the first wave of attacks, we entered the battlefield! Wang Yue ordered. After turning on the maximum power, Parker's squadron finally got into the interception position, and the altitude was slightly higher, and then began to dive shallow to attack the opponent. "Alright, brothers, let's start diving, and throw away the weight if necessary." The British long plane commanded. "I hope those Hai Dongqing can cover us to the back, and we will encounter more fighters at low altitudes." A British pilot said with some apprehension.........

The British plane headed by a press on the nose. A shallow dive began, and as the altitude was converted into kinetic energy, the speed of the British reconnaissance aircraft increased to a higher level. However, this was nothing for the German planes that dived first, and after the first round of hasty attacks, they could take advantage of the difference in altitude and try it from behind. After all, the other side is diving, and the dive has a speed limit, and sooner or later they have to slow down. And that gave Parker and his teammates an extra chance.

"Damn it. There seems to be something behind us! The slightly panicked voice of a pilot reached Parker's ears, only to see a German fighter jet hit by several tongues of fire fired from the volley. Directly hit the smash. Then he looked back and saw several large figures behind him.

"They must have been hiding in the clouds just now. Everyone is scattered. "The saddest situation in the air battle appeared, he was bitten by his tail, and the opponent also had a height advantage and a speed advantage! My own fuel situation is not very optimistic anymore. In desperation, Parker began to leave the battlefield, intending to fight the sneak attackers behind him after regaining his energy. Of course. In this way, those British twin-engine aircraft with "bombs" hung on them could only be handed over to their comrades-in-arms ..........

"This attack of the other side is not a big threat to us, with such a big advantage, their wave of attacks only destroyed one fighter, not that their technology is too poor. Rather, for some purpose, not wanting to lose too much energy and maneuvering, after gaining some superiority, they climb back to gain altitude superiority, get out of the battle, and then continue to circle around the fleet. And because of the unsuccessful high-altitude high-speed attack just now. Our fuel consumption is a little higher than normal, so we have to reduce our patrol time and return to the carrier for refueling as soon as possible. After the war, Parker summed it up.

The second wave was responsible for blocking a group of Austro-Hungarian fighters. If it weren't for the lack of density of planes in charge of direct defense in the air, the German and Austrian air forces would not have had to send such scum-level aircraft to block the most advanced twin-engine aircraft of the British, and like the German planes, the other side could only block them once in the front, and if they failed, then they would not even smell exhaust fumes! "This thing is so sturdy!" The 3 machine guns equipped on the Austro-Hungarian fighter were clearly not powerful enough for a twin-engine aircraft. In just a few seconds, it doesn't matter if the bullet is fired, that is, the mission hits the other side. And the 3 mm cannons mounted on the British twin-engine aircraft were definitely the scythe of death for the Austro-Hungarian biplanes. A few shots are enough! As a result, after this round of interception, not a single British plane was lost, but the other side was killed 3! …………。

However, after facing two successive interceptions, the flight altitude of the Hawkeye team responsible for luring the enemy was also reduced to about 3 meters, and in order to get rid of the opponent who was chasing after the tail, it also flew at high speed for a long time, and the fuel was also a little tight (after all, they were flying back to Sicily). At this time, the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and German twin-engine planes from Crete appeared over the fleet.

Although the engines were inferior and there was no supercharging, the German twin-engine aircraft still had the advantage of long range and fierce firepower, and in the face of the British twin-engine bombers that broke through the two interceptions, the German land-based air force had a double advantage in altitude and speed. "Alright, our play is over, let's get ready to withdraw." Originally, it was just to fatigue the other party, but since this was the case, it was natural that there was no need to take their lives, so the Hawkeye team decisively gave up and continued to advance, and the soles of their feet were oiled and slipped directly. But even then, the German twin-engine fighter unit that dived down knocked down the plane, and one of them was damaged.

"Send some more planes, our air defense network is still too sparse...... This wave is only a tentative attack, and the real offensive may follow. Haldy ordered with a grim face. In addition, I would like to ask, is there really nothing we can do about the fast bombers of the British? ”。 …。

"We have a similar planner, but we will definitely not need it in this war." Raeder also said with some shame that the Germans are still very confident in their own technology, especially after the end of World War 1, the Germans' self-confidence has risen to a new level, and they never thought that they would be suppressed by the other party's technological superiority in the war. "However, the British do not have many such aircraft, and they cannot launch an attack that threatens the entire fleet with such aircraft alone."

Raeder's words are indeed right, there are not many such planes in the UK, even if they are all concentrated, except for the unarmed planes that have been responsible for reconnaissance and guidance around the fleet, there are not many aircraft left, and then consider the accuracy of the attack in the face of layers of interception. Even if some of the opponent's planes rush in, it is difficult to cause too much damage to the fleet under interference, and it is not easy to hit a target with a speed of 3 knots!

An attack that could really pose a threat to the Grand Fleet must be a well-organized offensive of a certain size. It was definitely not such a harassing attack, so the opinion of the Allied air commanders was that before the opponent's large forces came up, several aircraft carriers released only a small number of fighters to replace the fuel-depleted aircraft, and only after the discovery of the opponent's large fleet of fighters, did their best to release the fighters. You know, the Germans also have long-range reconnaissance planes cruising in this sea area, and the attack planes can only take the nearest voyage from Sicily to ensure a relatively sufficient amount of fuel, so the German reconnaissance planes can almost search for land-based incoming planes in a wait-and-wait manner, as for the offensive of the Italian Navy? The German reconnaissance planes had not yet found a trace of the opposing side within a radius of km or so around the fleet, and even if the opposing side entered this sea area, counting the formation and flight time. The Allies also have more than an hour to rearmament a new wave of fighters! …。

While the Allied Combined Fleet was resisting the harassment of the other side, the Allied aircraft group attacking the port of Benghazi was relatively smooth, and many aircraft of various kinds taking off from the airfield near Benghazi faced the cover of seven Allied fighter planes, and had no chance to interfere with the attack of the attack planes. After many air battles, in addition to some elite units, the quality of pilots in the air forces of Italy and the Entente also plummeted, and according to Tycho, every month of fighting could knock out the accumulation of 4 years of Italian naval aviation! One fighter after another was shot down by the enemy, and then the Allied fighter units, which were freed up, began to use machine guns and aerial guns against various anti-aircraft guns on the ground. Although it is a very important port, at the moment, Italy does not deploy too many anti-aircraft guns here, as for the specific reason? It was more talkative, because the military advisers of the Allies and Huaxia believed that the troops under Tycho's command lacked sufficient anti-armor firepower and peace-fire artillery, so they directly decided to use anti-aircraft artillery to make up the number. "Believe me, sometimes anti-aircraft artillery hits tanks more than planes." A Chinese military officer once said. …。

The first to enter was the German dive bomber formation, after the fighters suppressed the surrounding anti-aircraft fire with firepower, one dive bomber formation after another dive bomber formation dived towards the heavy cruiser Gorisia that was being repaired in the berth, these bombers dropped kg of high-explosive bombs at a speed of 6 degrees, this wave of attacks did not seek to completely destroy the battleship, as long as it could destroy the anti-aircraft fire on the surface of the opponent's ship...... It is enough to be ready for a horizontal bomber attack behind ..........

"The counterattack was not fierce, and even the other two battleships had almost no anti-aircraft fire, and the 9mm anti-aircraft guns on them did not open fire. This incident made us very confused. It was only in the end that we found out that these two battleships were camouflaged with civilian ships! Because our two kg bombs managed to blow it in two, this is definitely not the level of defense of a heavy cruiser! A German pilot who participated in the battle said after the war.

Only the first wave of 3 dive bombers hit at least 1 bomb. The Allied navy was still very capable of attacking ships, with eight bombs hitting two camouflaged ships and sinking them completely, while several more bombs almost swept across the deck of the Golicia. The horizontal bombers who then launched the attack threw kg of armor-piercing shells in a shallow dive, and finally pronounced the death sentence of the Golicia!
