Jagged Germany

Chapter 1429: Air supremacy changes hands (seeking monthly ticket)

?? "Your Excellency, Marshal, the latest battle report from the front line shows that the Imperial Air Force has defeated the interception of the Russian Air Force." Admiral Hugo Speller, chief of staff of the German Air Force, reported.

?? "Very good! It's less than half an hour. It seems that our pilots didn't carry it after a winter rest." Marshal Albert Kesselring smiled.

?? "Yes, Marshal. The performance of the FW-190 fighter jet has undoubtedly been verified once again! It is simply impossible for the Russian Air Force to compete with us." Marshal Edward Milch also said.

?? "Well, is our loss big?" Marshal Albert Kesselring asked.

?? "Your Excellency Marshal, our losses are not large. We have probably lost hundreds of fighter planes since the beginning of the battle." Admiral Hugo Speller replied.

?? Losing hundreds of combat aircraft in half an hour, such a loss is undoubtedly very fast. However, if you compare the results obtained, it is actually nothing. The number of warplanes lost by the Russian Air Force is far more than that of the German Air Force. Although there is no way to count the final battle damage yet, it can be easily seen from the front-line reports.

?? "Hundreds of pilots! I hope they can escape safely!" Marshal Albert Kesselring said.

??Marshal Edward Milch and Admiral Hugo Speele did not speak. They both knew very well that it was almost impossible for the pilots of the downed fighter planes to escape safely even after parachuting successfully. Especially after the fighter jets on both sides began to attack the parachuting pilots of the other side, being shot down meant death in battle. Even if they land safely, those German pilots will never end well once they are caught by the Russian Army. What awaits them is to be brutally tortured and killed.

?? "Has the follow-up bomber force arrived? It's up to them!" Marshal Albert Kesselring asked.

"Your Excellency the Marshal, the dive bombers of the 8 aviation wings and the ground attack aircraft of the 8 aviation wings have all rushed to the battlefield. Under the cover of fighter jets, they will launch an attack on the airfield of the Russian Air Force and destroy it in one fell swoop. Get rid of those airfields of the Russian Air Force," General Hugo Speller reported.

??Marshal Albert Kesselring and Marshal Elda Milch nodded.

??Actually, with the success of the Luftwaffe's fighter force, there will not be much change in the next attack on the airport. At most, under the anti-aircraft firepower of the Russian Air Force, the dive bomber unit and the ground attack aircraft unit will suffer relatively large losses. But as long as it can seize air supremacy, no matter how big the loss is, it can be borne.

??On the frontline battlefield, the dive bombers and ground attack aircraft of the Luftwaffe have arrived on the battlefield. These dive bombers and ground attack aircraft all carry a large number of bombs. The target of their attack will be the front-line airport of the Russian Air Force.

?? With the fighter units of the Russian Air Force already dispersed, their flight will be safe. The only thing to worry about is the anti-aircraft fire on the ground. Fortunately, the fighter force will provide them with fire cover, so that their losses can be further reduced.

?? "Quick! Let the air defense units get ready. Our combat troops have failed, and the German bombers are coming soon!" At an airfield of the Russian Air Force, the commander was giving orders loudly.

?? "Yes, Comrade Commander!"

??In the air defense positions around the airport, the Russian air defense forces have already made preparations. A series of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns have been aimed at the sky. Shells and cartridges are loaded and ready to fire.

??Some young air defense soldiers who experienced such a scene for the first time were very nervous, and even their palms were sweating. After all, their fighter force had failed, and the remaining fighters had fled. The heavy responsibility of defending the airport fell on their shoulders. Once the airport is blown up by the Luftwaffe, the Russian Air Force will lose its air supremacy.

?? "Attention all squadrons, suppress ground anti-aircraft fire, cover dive bombers and ground attack aircraft!" The captain of a German fighter brigade ordered.

??In the previous battles, their brigade lost several FW-190 fighter jets. However, they almost wiped out a complete aviation regiment of the Russian Air Force. If calculated in this way, the battle loss ratio is undoubtedly very astonishing.

?? "Yes, sir!" All squadron leaders replied.

??Because it is going to attack dozens of airports deployed by the Russian Air Force on the front line. Therefore, the dive bomber unit and the ground attack aircraft unit of the Luftwaffe operate in squadrons. A squadron of dive bombers and a squadron of ground attack aircraft attack an airfield. The bombs carried by these dive bombers and ground attack aircraft are enough to destroy a small field airfield. Of course, a large airport will have to carry out a second attack.

?? "Da da da! Boom boom boom!"

??When the Luftwaffe fighter planes appeared, the Russian anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns started firing.

??However, the battle groups of the Luftwaffe in the sky have dispersed, rushing towards these air defense positions, using aviation machine guns and machine guns to suppress these air defense positions.

??The fierce battle began immediately. The fighter force of the Luftwaffe, with its powerful firepower, caused heavy losses to the air defense firepower of the Russian Air Force.

?? Taking this opportunity, the dive bombers and ground attack aircraft of the Luftwaffe also launched an attack.

?? "Start dropping bombs!"

??After the magazine was opened, the bombs carried by the ground attack aircraft fell like raindrops. The air defense positions, artillery shells and hangars of the Russian army at the airport have all become targets of attack.

??The dive bombers attacked the main buildings of the airport. Each dive bomber could carry two 500kg heavy aerial bombs, which were powerful enough to destroy those main buildings.

??Oil depots, ammunition depots, conning towers, dormitories, etc. were all destroyed in constant explosions. The entire field airport was blown into ruins in just ten minutes.

??Although, during the offensive, some fighter planes of the Luftwaffe were shot down by ground anti-aircraft fire. But overall, the loss is still within an acceptable range.

??A round of attacks by the German Air Force's 8 dive bomber wings and 8 ground attack wing wings destroyed dozens of front-line field airports of the Russian Air Force.

?? Just two hours later, the second round of attacks began again. And this time, the H-01 medium bombers and H-11 heavy bombers of the four strategic aviation clusters also joined in. Once again attack the surviving airfield.

??In the afternoon, the airports west of Moscow were completely destroyed by the German air force. Air supremacy is also firmly in the hands of the Luftwaffe.
