The Luftwaffe pioneered night bombing in the Italian Civil War. The strong fire support provided by the Luftwaffe night bomber unit to the paratrooper unit was the key to Studenter's support to the end. And this time, in order to completely keep the Austro-Hungarian army here, the night bomber unit of China also appeared. When the Chinese night bomber unit arrived at the battlefield, they saw a continuous fire dragon. Duan Tianming's paratroopers engaged the Austro-Hungarian forces in several places, and the otherwise modest road was littered with destroyed vehicles and charred corpses. The entire Austro-Hungarian corps was cut into several sections. They began to use tanks or armored vehicles to push destroyed vehicles off the roadbed, and then bulldozers filled in the holes in the road that had been blown up by artillery shells.

"That's simply the best thing to aim for." A Chinese pilot said as he looked at the busy Austrians below. "Hopefully next time they'll learn not to turn the lights on so much at night!" The guidance methods of the Chinese night bomber units were similar to those of the Germans, and they also searched for targets by means of ground-based radio guidance and illumination, as well as vertical searchlights. The attack is also a combination of cannons and bombs.

Huaxia still underestimated the opponent this time. Not only the Austrians were underestimated, but the Germans were underestimated. This time, Schrager's preserved searchlights and anti-aircraft guns of various calibers played a significant role. On both sides of the roadbed, the deployed anti-aircraft artillery units fired a series of shells under the guidance of searchlights, although the accuracy was not very high without radar guidance, but it was enough for the Huaxia Air Force to increase its flight altitude. What made Huaxia even more unexpected was that this time, the Germans actually took out the night fighter unit that had been hidden for a long time, and when the Huaxia Air Force was busy fighting wits and courage with the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery, black figures were entering the battlefield from an altitude of about 6,000 meters.

The first batch of six JU88N night combat aircraft lined up and swept over the battlefield at high speed. These aircraft, which were part of the Nighthawk Group, were newly equipped with the German-researched FUG211 (historically unprecedented) interception radar. The detection distance of large aircraft can reach about 6500 meters. There are also targets the size of fighters above 2300 meters. At this time, these six planes are passing through the air like combs, searching for other targets in the airspace, these planes take off from the far south base, and the subsequent crews will enter the battlefield after they leave, which means that all planes except them are enemies in this airspace!

"Lucky enough to find your target so quickly?!" Second Lieutenant Heinze said excitedly as he looked at the light that was dancing on the screen. Follow the experience in the exercises. The independent combat capability of the Luftwaffe night combat aircraft units was very poor, the willingness was simple, the radar performance was very inferior, and the detection range of several kilometers in the vast night was obviously not enough. Generally speaking, they need the guidance of ground-based radar, with the help of large ground-based radar, to send them to the target attachment, and then use radar and searchlights to finally lock on to the target. But this time, luck seemed to be on their side. Shortly after entering the battlefield, a bomber squad was spotted.

"We have to be fast, once they get into the low altitude they can throw us off, our radar can't find the target from the ground clutter." Heinze reminded his colleagues again, and then they began to slowly turn and charge towards the declining Huaxia bomber force. Equipped with the new JUMO engine, the JU88N night fighter has plenty of power and ferocious firepower, and can reach a top speed of 580 kilometers per hour. AND 4 20MM GUNS AND 2 30MM GUNS IN THE NOSE AND UNDER THE WINGS ARE ENOUGH TO DESTROY THE STRONGEST TARGETS.

Like ghosts in the night, they slowly approached their targets from behind. And at this time, the bomber units in front were suppressing anti-aircraft fire on the ground with cluster bombs. "800 meters, 600 meters, 500 meters, 300 meters! Now is the time! Fire! "Four night planes served as the first round of attack, two of them bit one bomber, and the dense shells instantly formed an oval death zone to envelop the target in front.

The powerful thin-shell shell acts like a chainsaw to cut off the wing of a porcupine bomber from the root. THE OTHER ONE WAS EVEN WORSE, THE 30MM EXPLOSIVE INCENDIARY BOMB DIRECTLY SMASHED IT INTO A BURNING FIREBALL. In just a few seconds, the two bombers, along with the crews above, were engulfed in a raging rain of bullets.

The fireballs rising in the sky made the Chinese Air Force bomber pilots who participated in the night raid feel a little uneasy. It is simply unimaginable that the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery can handle two bombers at almost the same time so neatly. There's definitely a conspiracy in this! Not satisfied, the Nighthawks, who had just achieved their victory, began to climb and then look for new targets in the air! This time they targeted a 4-round heavy bomber.

"This plane is very special, it flies at a very high altitude, about 6,500 meters, and the trajectory is also very special, it has been hovering above the battlefield, we found it when we first entered the battlefield, and he was still there when we finished the attack and climbed again! I decided then that this was no ordinary plane. His value will be very high. It's like shooting down that radar plane (watchtower). In hindsight, when asked about his judgment at the time, he replied like this.

Heinz's judgment was very accurate, this was a specialized electronic jamming and radiolocation aircraft. Its task was to jam and eavesdrop on the radio communications of the Austro-Hungarian Corps. Its value is very huge, and it is not even weaker than the watchtower early warning aircraft that was destroyed in the first place. However, it is a pity that Huaxia was also prepared for a possible attack after suffering a loss, and even though the Huaxia Air Force believed that the Allies would not have night planes to fight, it still provided escort for this watchtower aircraft with six Tiger Cat night combat aircraft. They were equipped with a new radar that was much more advanced than the Germans, with a magnetron and a parabolic antenna that could detect targets the size of a medium bomber at a distance of 9 kilometers. What made Heinz even more unexpected was that the communication between them had already attracted the attention of this electronic reconnaissance plane. This radio signal, which did not belong to the communication band of the Austro-Hungarian Corps, nor to the frequency band used by the Chinese Air Force, made the operators of this aircraft aware of the new intruder in this area! Although a large radar was not installed. But by relying on the radio sideways, it can feel that the other party is gradually approaching it!

The JU88N night combat aircraft found that the straight-line distance of this electronic reconnaissance plane was about 7KM, which is not far away, and it can be said that it can catch up in minutes with the cruising speed of JU88 up to 450 or more, but unfortunately this distance is not at the same altitude. The difference between the two sides is about 800 meters, and the other side then starts to climb the mountain, if you let a bomber like JU88 climb 800 meters at medium and high altitudes, it is a bit difficult, the theoretical climb data is based on a specific altitude and speed, in practice it is difficult to achieve. So Heinz could only take the crew for a shallow climb at a small angle. At the same time, they maintained speed, because they found that the plane was not slow to fly to the speed, and the slightest mistake could disappear from the edge of the radar. Fortunately, Heinz's squad spread out linearly and had a wider observation range.

"The target has been discovered. They're flying towards the raven, and we're leaning in at 7 o'clock, and they shouldn't be able to spot us. The electronic reconnaissance plane, codenamed Raven, had already determined the general direction of the German night fighters, and Heinz's more direct route had allowed the six Tiger Cat night planes to successfully circle their rear. When Heinz raised the sword in his hand, they didn't know that a hidden arrow was also aimed at them!

As a light bomber, the Tiger Cat aircraft equipped with Morin engines is obviously a notch more agile and faster than the night combat aircraft modified on the basis of the JU88. At this time, on the radar screen of the Tiger Cat driver. The optoelectronics representing the six JU88 night combat aircraft are already very clear. "Assign a target, in order from left to right, each plane chooses its own target, don't fall in love with the attack after the attack, quickly get out of it!" The captain of the team repeated the order again. At this time, they are only about 1 kilometer away from the target, and a single charge can reach it!

With a mixture of water and ethanol injected into the engine, the power of the Morin engine was increased to an unprecedented degree! The piston reciprocated rapidly, and the speed increased again. The distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and when they got closer to a distance of 400 meters, the six machine guns of the Mosquito aircraft let out a roar! Six slender lines of fire suddenly appeared next to Heinz's landline. The bright flames and the roar of the cannonballs made him tremble, he didn't expect to run into Huaxia's night planes, let alone the other party to find him!

In the face of the sudden blow, Heinz did not have time to give a bright shot, because a new enemy had appeared, and more and more enemies appeared behind the group, and he even suspected that the plane he had just shot down was just a decoy. At this point, Heinz fought almost instinctively, he quickly pulled down the lever, and pushed the throttle valve sharply, and the huge JU88N night fighter quickly changed from a shallow climb to a dive. The rapid drop in height allowed him to successfully escape from the other party's pursuit. However, his comrades-in-arms were not so lucky, and the two JU88N night fighters were torn to shreds by the violent rain of bullets almost immediately. Another night fighter plane did not drop half of its wings, and if he was lucky, the pilot had a chance to parachute.

After receiving a sudden blow, Heinz did not have the courage to continue in this airspace. God knows if the attacker just now will follow him, and even he suspects that the Huaxia Air Force has placed a watchtower-style plane in the air to monitor this area at all times. He began to contact his companions and prepared to disengage.

Tonight's air battle was not just this time, after realizing that the Germans sent night fighters, in order to ensure the safety of the night bomber troops, the Huaxia Air Force took off two watchtower-type early warning planes and 12 night fighters. And at the same time, the Germans also received a telegram from Heinz. The German night fighters who then entered the battlefield were very cautious. Their formations were distributed at different altitudes, trying to use radars to compensate for each other's blind spots, but alas, the radar performance at this time was not very good, the Germans were like this, and the Chinese were also like this, the twin engines tried to search for the opponent in the night, and the opponent occasionally appeared on the edge of the radar, but it was difficult to find an opportunity to fire. Even if they barely attacked, they didn't hit the target. So much so that after the night battle on this night, both the Huaxia Air Force and the Luftwaffe thought that the results of the first attack of the two engines could only be achieved by a stroke of luck.

Although the Luftwaffe did not achieve much success in tonight's operation, the appearance of night fighters still made the night bomber units of the Huaxia Air Force jealous. The intensity of the air strikes was much smaller than expected. The Austrians were not stupid, and after the initial panic, they skillfully evacuated the convoy, and set up searchlights and anti-aircraft artillery positions in key areas, doing everything in their power to dislodge the Chinese bombers.

"It seems that the air force and paratroopers can't completely prevent the other side from evacuating, and it depends on us at the critical moment." Tian Yong, who hadn't slept all night, rubbed his temples that were a little swollen. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Tian Yong's biggest problem at this time is the lack of troops, especially the lack of infantry troops. Guderian and Lübenin's forces were forced to retreat, but they still held off Schrager's rear. However, on the evening of the same day, after communicating with his superiors, Qin Yue, commander of the Huaxia Air Force in Iran, handed over the task of attacking Schrager's troops to the Strategic Air Force, and all front-line attack planes were allocated to Tian Yong, and the situation finally changed somewhat.

When the sun rose over the ground again, Tian Yong once again launched an attack on Guderian and Lu Benin's troops, who had already served as defenders. This time, the luck of the two was not so good, as Tian Yong received extraordinary air support. A LARGE NUMBER OF FLYING FOX PLANES ARMED WITH HOLLOW-CHARGE ANTI-ARMOR SUBMUNITIONS AND 40MM MACHINE GUNS BECAME THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK.

Nearly 100 planes of various types in six squadrons were hovering at low altitude, looking for all the targets on the ground that could be attacked. The sound of the 40MM cannon like a pile driver sounded on the battlefield from time to time. The Allies armored forces, lacking sufficient air defense, either went into hiding or chose to withdraw. The resistance of the formation was shattered by the blows of Tian Yong's armored forces and air force. The remnants that survived were often abandoned due to lack of ammunition and fuel.

In the unspeakable, Guderian gathered his troops and withdrew from the battlefield. Huaxia seemed to be more interested in Schrager, so he didn't send too many troops to intercept him. Thanks to better mobility and fuel and vehicles "borrowed" from friendly forces, Guderian once again escaped from the battlefield unharmed. Relatively speaking, Lü Benin was very unlucky, and he did not return to Kirkuk, but went to a prisoner of war camp in China. He and his troops fought to the last moment. He did not give the order to surrender until the Huaxia troops were less than 500 meters from his headquarters.
