Although Huaxia realized early on that the blow that the Luftwaffe had been accumulating for a long time would be very powerful, when this blow came, the senior commanders of the Huaxia Air Force in Iran, including Qin Yue, were still startled by the dense German aircraft that appeared on the sand table!

The first to appear is the attack aircraft units of the two air groups in the north and south, the two groups in the first day of the attack each out 2 bomber wings and 5 fighter groups, the size of which is about 300 aircraft, this time, the Germans learned the lesson, all the air force units will converge in a fixed place before entering the target area, and then act together, as many as 3 wings of aircraft in the air to form a rather layered huge formation! The twin-engine bombers formed a huge box formation at an altitude of about 5,000 meters, and below them were JU90 single-engine bombers on tactical bombing missions. And a large number of fighters spread out at the same time above, in the front and on both wings of the bomber force, protecting the front of the entire group! The attached electronic warfare aircraft acted alone under the cover of a small number of aircraft.

When the huge fleet of Luftwaffe planes on the north and south flanks appeared on the display screen of the Huaxia forward early warning radar, Qin Yue's eyelids jumped slightly, because these planes alone had far exceeded the number of all the fighters that Huaxia could send at present! Although Huaxia has as many as 750 fighters of various types, because the deployment method is very scattered, the number of planes that can be deployed at one time is not much, although many planes took off in advance, but before the opponent's bombs are thrown on the target, the number of fighters that Qin Yue can use does not exceed 350! Relying on a good command system and guidance, Huaxia can concentrate these planes and use them in a certain strategic direction, and it is not impossible for 350 planes to intercept the opponent, but it is clear that the Germans still have a backhand!

"The target of the opponent's attack is uncertain, but through the intelligence transmitted by the reconnaissance aircraft, the German fleet contains a certain number of single-engine attack aircraft, which are not suitable for attacking targets in depth, and the main direction of attack of the opponent should be shallow targets in depth. Our fighter units can be completely divided into two battle groups for interception. Although it is difficult to hit the opponent hard. However, it is still possible to interfere with the effect of their ground attack. "A staff officer came up with a plan for operations that took into account both directions.

"Wang Yue, as the former captain of the Haidongqing Brigade and as the most experienced interception commander in the Huaxia Air Force, I hope you can answer me a few questions." Qin Yue did not evaluate this staff officer's plan. Instead, he turned his gaze to an officer next to him.

"If we can concentrate 150 fighters in the next wave, will we be able to hold off the strategic bomber and escort groups of the two German wings?" Qin Yue asked the first question.

"No way. If it is a strategic bomber with two wings, then at least two wings of fighters will be used to escort it. In order to ensure that the heavy interceptor group can enter the battlefield smoothly, at least 80 or so fighters must be equipped to provide cover, even so. Taking into account the battle damage along the way, the number of interceptors that can finally enter the attack range will not exceed 40! Even with the most optimistic estimates, the opponent will not lose more than 30 strategic bombers, which is not serious for the scale of strategic bombers of the two wings, even if the scale of interception is larger, as long as the opponent's nerves are tough enough, they can wipe out any unit on the ground if they want! At least on this battlefield! Wang Yue said very simply.

"If you had this strategic force in your hands, where would you target it?" Qin Yue raised the second question.

"Airport! And all airports within a certain range! I'm going to blow up all these airfields with hundreds of tons of bombs, and then the Air Force will be very limited if it wants to move or deploy. As long as these important airports are removed, then we can only use field airfields for a period of time, but the conditions of the latter are very simple, and the attendance rate of aircraft and the efficiency of air combat command will be very low, and more importantly, our large-scale cluster combat capability will be weakened because of overly scattered airports. Wang Yue said.

"If so, the Luftwaffe, which has not been seen for a long time, will be aiming at an important airfield in one of our areas? And our next wave of concentrated aircraft will not be able to stop their bombing. And then it can be concluded that if after today. It's going to be difficult for us to concentrate a large fleet of machines, right? Qin Yue thought for a while and said. It was only at this time that Qin Yue realized that his deployment was inappropriate. Originally, I thought that in today's decisive battle, the Luftwaffe strategic bomber unit would be the first to kill, and the 350 fighters that I had painstakingly gathered were waiting for the Luftwaffe strategic air force, and the second batch of 150 planes was to make up for the knife and deal with other units. But what I didn't expect was that the Germans were the first to come up with tactical bomber formations, but even so, the Huaxia Air Force could not let it go, because the distance was close, and there were a lot of bombs on these JU88 and DO217 bombers! And let's be honest. The size of the Luftwaffe is still underestimated by the Huaxia Air Force!

Qin Yue didn't continue to ask, he had already gotten enough information, judging from the current situation, it was impossible for the Huaxia Air Force to stop all the opponents! The so-called lossless catastrophe is just a beautiful idea! The Germans were very good at this blow. The deadliest wave of attacks was hidden, and a cheap tactical air force was used to contain the strongest wave of Huaxia's defenses. Although Qin Yue didn't know which air base group the Germans would shoot, he was sure that as long as the German strategic bombing was over, he wanted to concentrate such a large-scale fighter force, I am afraid it would be very difficult, and the Huaxia Air Force could not stop the Germans, even if it was lucky enough to hit the opponent's strategic bomber force, it still could not prevent the other party from dropping the bombs, which was like the bombing of the German bearing factory by the Allies in history, although the losses were heavy, but the German factory was still bombed!

The Luftwaffe Strategic Air Force must not let go, Qin Yue must take advantage of the opportunity to concentrate a large number of fighters to inflict heavy damage on the most powerful group of the Luftwaffe, otherwise, the small-scale fleet can deal with tactical bombers, but it will not be able to deal with strategic bombers. Even if you are armed to the teeth with heavy interceptors, you must have a certain number of strategic bombers if you want to defeat the thick skin and flesh full of machine guns! And if a large airfield is destroyed and a large number of fighters are forced to disperse to small airfields and field airfields in poor conditions, it will be difficult to maintain a high attendance rate and concentrate a sufficient number of aircraft, even if there are a large number of aircraft. The necessary infrastructure and scattered airports are there!

Therefore, after only thinking about it for a few minutes, Qin Yue decided to keep the original general policy unchanged! Desperately crippled the strategic bomber forces of the Germans. Isn't it just that some planes take off early? The Foxbat fighter's 250 gallons of internal oil plus 200 gallons of external fuel are enough to fly for more than 8 hours. So Qin Yue decided to first draw 6 squadrons of about 100 Foxbat fighters from the existing fleet to stand by, and after joining the second wave of take-off groups. Waiting for the arrival of the German strategic bomber forces.

Then the most difficult moment came, the remaining 250 aircraft were only enough to block an attack from one direction, and an attack from the other direction could only cope with it. Defend the southern line or the northern line? This is a very serious question! And Qin Yue gave this choice to Peng Yi.

"Xu Huaide, I'm sorry!" Peng Yi muttered in his heart, and then decisively said to the other end of the phone: "Block the Luftwaffe on the northern front for me, and do your best on the southern front!" "In less than a minute. The largest military operation of the Huaxia Air Force in Iran has finally been finalized. And just when Peng Yi had just finished the call with Qin Yue, Xu Huaide, who was heading to the southern line, couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. Also sneezed a few times. "Damn, it's that guy scheming behind his back again?!" Xu Huaide muttered to himself.

("Lao Xu, it's difficult for me, we all came out of a military region, and the palms and backs of our hands are full of meat.") The advantage of the Germans on the northern front was too great, and if the air force still had an advantage, then it would be too difficult for Zhou Xuan to them. You have to understand me. I can't help it if it's in a hurry! Peng Yi patted Xu Huaide on the shoulder and complained, his words were sincere, and the listener wept. ）

"Now that it's decided. Then prepare for action, in addition to the group of aircraft on standby in the air, draw out a large group of fighters to interfere with the Luftwaffe attack on the southern front, and concentrate the rest of the group on the northern front! Tell Sun Xin to fight hard, 200 fighters to fight 300 fighters and bombers, we still have air guidance, if you don't fight well, he, the wing commander, will not do it! Qin Yue said in a fierce voice. Sun Xin is Qin Yue's old subordinate, and this guy has just arrived in Iran from China with his wing. Sun Xin's wing was deployed in Tianshui, Gansu Province, and in the previous period of time, it was mainly to study how to conduct wing-scale engagements with the help of AWACS aircraft. Therefore, it was not able to catch up with the early battle. When he arrived in Iran with a full wing, a dispute arose between the new troops and the old ones who had fought over the command.

In terms of size, the intact rate and number of aircraft of the new units are higher than those of the old units still fighting on the front line. He also specialized in air synthetic combat training. However, the latter is more familiar with the situation on the battlefield and has also conducted actual combat in cooperation with AWACS aircraft. Neither side is convinced of the other. There was a fierce struggle for command of the battlefield. And in the end, Qin Yue handed over the command of the battlefield to Sun Xin with his own authority, and it cannot be said that there was no reason for the lack of affection. Where there are people, there must be rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there must also be mountains, the same in China. It's the same abroad. After all, when Qin Yue was the captain, Sun Xin was the squadron leader. For this point, Xu Jie is also acquiescing, it's okay if you tend to be a little bit, but if you mess up, you will definitely not tolerate it! So Qin Yue is also under a lot of pressure!

The Germans did not move fast, and the two groups in the north and south were a mixture of single-engine fighters, twin-engine fighters, heavy-duty single-engine ground attack planes and heavy-load twin-engine bombers. The complexity of the formation flight situation is a fight with the situation of the German and Austrian air forces led by Grim on the Italian battlefield that year! In addition, the Germans did not walk in a straight line and hoped to distract the attention of the Huaxia Air Force through a more tortuous route, so the speed of their advance was not very fast, and it was precisely because of this excessive caution that the Huaxia Air Force had enough time to arrange its own offensive plan.

If in Operation Babylon, relying on the help of AWACS aircraft, the defense network of the Huaxia Air Force caused the Germans to hit their heads and bleed. It embodies the value of AWACS aircraft in defensive operations. So this time, the Huaxia Air Force will use practical actions to prove the value of early warning aircraft in air offensive operations!

"As the first wing commander to sit in the AWACS aircraft and command the battle, instead of rushing forward with the whole group, I am under a lot of pressure!" After receiving the telegram from his old boss Qin Yue, Sun Xin, who was on the Pillar No. 3 early warning aircraft, couldn't help wiping his sweat, not because he was scared, but in this cabin, the temperature was indeed a little high. The heat generated by the generator that powers various electronic devices is a bit high!

Sun Xin has been flying planes for 7 years. Until half a year ago, he never thought that he would command the plane like this, and in his impression, if he wants to be a good front-line commander of the Air Force, he only needs to do two things, the first thing is that he is very big, and the second thing is to make his subordinates also very capable of fighting! And today's situation is that he wants to command his subordinates to tell them where to fight! Wasn't this originally the task of the ground command staff? Don't look at Sun Xin is already a wing captain, but there are many things that the wing captain personally leads the team to PK in the air forces of various countries. Although the grade is a little older and his hands are a little raw, with experience and talent, Sun Xin is still a difficult guy to deal with. He was even nicknamed the old fox by his colleagues on the battlefield in Italy that year!

The information from the radar scan was quickly marked on the tactical board by the staff officer next to him. The huge German aircraft fleet could not escape the tracking of Huaxia's air and ground monitoring system, and even through the integration of intelligence sources, Huaxia could even infer the details of several larger aircraft groups in the entire formation, such as the height of a certain medium bomber squadron, and the relative altitude and distance between several large aircraft groups, etc.!

Sun Xin synthesized information while repeatedly deducing the battle situation. Because he has a clear understanding of the opponent's tracks, Sun Xin intends to give up the previous rigid frontal interception plan, the tactical efficiency of the fighter covering and the interceptor's desperate pig rush is too low and too blunt! This time, Sun Xin plans to play something technical!
