BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1679: massive air battle
"Dididi!"
Suddenly, a siren sounded from the radar warning device. On the radar display screen, dense dots of light appeared.
"Report, I found that a large number of enemy fighter planes are rushing towards the battlefield." The radar soldier immediately reported to his superiors.
After Newfoundland fell into the hands of the German army, in order to avoid the loss of its own air force, the Royal Air Force evacuated almost all its fighters to the west of New Brunswick and Quebec.
Fortunately, the performance of the air search radar equipped on the warships of the German Navy is not bad, and it can detect the fighter planes of the British Air Force taking off in time.
The battleship \'Bavaria\' immediately reported the matter to the flagship.
As a result, the aircraft carriers of the three major fleets of the German Navy began to take off carrier-based fighter jets one after another, preparing to meet the Royal Air Force. At the same time, the Luftwaffe units at Newfoundland Airport also began to take off fighter jets, preparing to meet the Royal Air Force.
The Luftwaffe dispatched to Newfoundland is the 1st Aviation Group. The 11th Fighter Wing, the 12th Fighter Wing and the 15th Ground Attack Wing have all moved to Newfoundland. The remaining 13th Fighter Wing and 14th Dive Bomber Wing will not be able to enter until the airport is expanded.
However, even the strength of two fighter wings and one ground attack wing is already very strong. In particular, the two fighter wings were the first units of the Luftwaffe to be equipped with new fighter jets.
As the German Air Force\'s TA-152 fighter jets began mass production, the troops preparing to be put into the North American battlefield gave priority to replacing this more advanced fighter jet than the FW-190 fighter jet. Although, the FW-190 fighter jets already had an advantage against the US Army Air Force and the British Air Force. But the performance of the TA-152 fighter is more advanced. It can be said that this fighter has developed to the pinnacle of the propeller fighter. Putting this fighter on the battlefield will definitely shock Germany\'s enemies.
"Guys, prepare to take off to meet the enemy. The 11th Fighter Wing and the 12th Fighter Wing each take off a brigade. Let the British take a good look at how powerful the most powerful air force in the world is!"
"Yes, sir!" The pilots replied one after another.
Subsequently, one after another TA-152 fighter jets took off from the airport. Because the TA-152 fighter is equipped with a more powerful liquid-cooled engine, the front of the fuselage looks a little slender. But this kind of aircraft is very fast, with a maximum speed of more than 760 kilometers. If you can even say it, it is definitely the fastest fighter jet in active service.
"Your Excellency, the British Air Force has dispatched. They dispatched at least 400 fighter jets to compete with us for air supremacy." A staff officer reported to Marshal Bromberg.
Marshal Bromberg frowned: "Can the navy and air force ensure our air supremacy?"
"Your Excellency Marshal, there should be no problem."
Marshal Bromberg was relieved.
At 7:50 in the morning, the air battle broke out over Cape Breton Island. The 21 aircraft carriers of the three major fleets of the German Navy each took off a carrier-based FW-190 fighter squadron to face the 400 P-51 fighters and P-47 fighters of the Royal Air Force. The two fighter brigades equipped with TA-152 fighter jets that took off from the airport on Newfoundland also rushed to the battlefield.
Although, the Royal Air Force still has an advantage in the number of fighter jets. They have nearly seventy more fighter jets than the German Navy and Air Force. However, the result of the air battle was completely one-sided.
P-51 fighters and P-47 fighters can be regarded as fighters with excellent performance. But in front of the German FW-190 fighter jets, they are all at a disadvantage. Not to mention the TA-152 fighter with more advanced performance. Coupled with the gap in the quality of pilots, the Royal Air Force is completely at a disadvantage in combat.
"Boom boom boom!"
A TA-152 fighter jet dived down from a high altitude, and the cannon on the nose fired. Several shells roared past and hit a P-47 fighter jet.
The P-47 fighter jet instantly became a fireball and fell to the ground.
The TA-152 fighter jets of the Luftwaffe also have very powerful firepower. The aviation machine guns have been canceled and all machine guns have been replaced. The nose is equipped with a 30mm cannon with 90 rounds of ammunition. On the wings on both sides, a 30mm cannon and a 20mm cannon are installed respectively. Among them, 175 rounds of 20mm machine guns are prepared.
This makes the firepower of the TA-152 fighter jet very powerful, especially for dealing with the enemy\'s heavy bombers.
Even though the body structure of the heavy bomber is very strong, in front of the large-caliber cannon, it still has only one life to be torn to pieces.
"God! What kind of plane is that? It\'s going too fast, and it\'s climbing too fast!" A British Air Force pilot watched as his wingman was torn to pieces.
"Are the Germans equipped with a new aircraft? How can we live with this!" Another RAF pilot complained.
Facing the FW-190 fighter jets of the Luftwaffe, they no longer have any advantage at all. Now the Germans are actually equipped with a more advanced fighter jet, which makes them even more dead.
"Da da da! Boom boom boom!"
Aviation machine guns and machine guns fired crazily, tracer bullets pulled out bright lines. It is clearly visible even in broad daylight.
Fighters were shot down continuously, and white umbrella flowers appeared in the sky.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, our fighter force has been suppressed, and the loss is very large!" A general reported to Air Force Minister Baron Cyril Neville.
Baron Cyril Neville\'s face is very ugly. The British Royal Air Force is not strong in the first place. The deployment of 400 fighter jets to participate in the attack of air supremacy is equivalent to taking out their old background. If you continue to invest, it is tantamount to pressing the coffin board up.
But now, what other options do they have?
"Order the 8th Air Force and the 9th Air Force to join the battle. We must defeat the Germans and seize air supremacy!" Baron Cyril Neville ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal!"
"Telegram the US Army Air Corps, we need reinforcements! Otherwise, the Royal Air Force will be wiped out soon."
