Chapter 1186: First attack

Just when the Luftwaffe was preparing to launch the final attack on Naples, just when Grimm of the Lancer Wing was thinking hard about the upcoming plan and preparing to avenge his shame. Just when the Kaiser was carefree.

When the palace was thinking about how to give the Allies a hard knock on the negotiating table after winning this war, what the Allies didn't expect was that the Allied strategic air force, which had been secretly hidden, was finally dispatched!

In the morning light, from various airports in Sicily and Naples, planes flew into the sky in the morning light. After all the planes were in place, they formed a huge formation and flew towards the target area. Each bomber squadron

They joined this complex formation one after another, making the entire fleet appear even larger. And when they flew over the Naples area, the fighter jets taking off from the aircraft carrier also

Joining them, they spread out on top of the bomber group, in front, on both wings and behind. Forming a complete air defense, a huge group of more than 400 various aircraft walked towards the battlefield with the rising sun! What? You ask the British

Where are the heavy bombers? Sorry, they took a different route from this force, and because of their cruising speed, they took off earlier.

Such a large fleet could not be concealed at all. Multiple German air defense posts and alert aircraft discovered this deadly air fleet. However, due to the light and air, they were not clear about the size and purpose of this flying formation, and the responsible aircraft

The reconnaissance aircraft was also driven far away by the escort aircraft. We could only watch

I saw a huge figure looming between the clouds. But even so, the warning was quickly passed to all levels of the German Air Force's command organs, and various airports began to get busy. One after another, the planes were pushed out from the tarmac and filled with fuel.

and ammunition were delivered to the runway by tractors, ready to take off at any time.

"There are about ten minutes left to enter the opponent's radar warning area, get ready to start." As the order was issued, the electronic warfare aircraft that opened the way for the entire fleet began to operate at full capacity. After further verifying the operating frequency of the opponent's radar, the electronic jammers began

Targeted jamming is implemented on the radar, and once the radar warning area is entered, the aircraft responsible for dropping chaff and jamming ropes will also start work.

"Damn it, what happened to these machines today? Is there noise again?" A German radar operator angrily fiddled with the equipment in front of him. Why didn't the things that worked just now stop working? Is there something wrong with the outside wires again?

?This is not the first time that this damn equipment has had problems. Various omissions and false alarms happen from time to time. But today, when the opponent's large-scale bomber group is attacking. If something like this happens again, something big will happen.

! Almost at the same time, all German front-line radars were covered by interference waves.

"Something is wrong." A major in charge of the radar station next to him keenly discovered that today's abnormal situation cannot be an accident after communicating with friendly forces over the phone, because even if the radar of this era is not reliable, it cannot

It's all bad! From other equipment, he could feel that there was a radio wave with a frequency similar to his own, interfering with radar detection! "The other party has a device that makes our radar useless!" A terrible thought came from the major's mind.

Jumped out!

"Sir, the radar is back to normal." At this moment, a non-commissioned officer said happily, but then the alarm of a large number of incoming enemy planes instantly silenced the cheering radar station. The non-commissioned officers quickly returned to their own battles.

Position, prepare to determine the opponent's position and guide the fighter to intercept the opponent!

"Damn it, I knew something was going to happen to this thing!" A technician who was playing with a jammer on a twin-engine bomber punched the malfunctioning machine. The German radar was sometimes unreliable. The same was true of the Allied Powers.

Jammers sometimes have problems, and when several jammers have problems, the power of the jammer will be greatly reduced. At this time, if the other party increases the radar output, it may penetrate through powerful electromagnetic waves.

Transparent interference waves. This is called burn-through.

"Hey. Sometimes the simpler things are more practical." The operator saw bundles of chaff and interference ropes starting to be thrown from the aircraft behind, and the shining silver chaff began to fly away in the wind.

Jamming ropes of various shapes formed a huge reflector that blocked the radar beam. Occasionally, it was discovered that several radars of enemy aircraft had lost their function again, while the German fighter units on standby in the air had been hovering in the air.

Spin. They didn't know where the target was, let alone how many enemies were waiting for them. The air safety corridor formed by interference waves and chaff extended all the way. A safe channel was successfully opened in the German radar warning area.

Hundreds of aircraft flew towards the target along this gap. The German fighter force could only spread its eyes to look for the incoming group of aircraft. Even if they found the opponent, they could only be in a situation where they could fight more with less!

Before the changes that occurred on the battlefield had time to reach the Allies' headquarters in the Balkans, airports in Liberia and other places began to take remedial measures on their own. Although the route of the incoming aircraft group was uncertain, the general direction was still known.**

Airports in places such as Li and Foligno began to release more fighter jets. At this time, radar was no longer very useful. The only way was to use the number of aircraft and use human eyes to

It formed an air defense, but unfortunately it was too late for the war to reach this point. No matter how hard the Germans tried, the temporarily launched fighter jets would never be able to withstand the attacks of hundreds of planes! Many planes had just taken off and were climbing.

At this stage, the opponent's fighter jets had already begun to dive and launch an attack, and bombs came out of the magazine one after another, falling towards the airport on the ground and the rows of aircraft on the airport!

The anti-aircraft guns hidden around the airport began to fire into the air, and countless shells exploded in the air. In the chaotic battlefield, the anti-aircraft gunners did not even have a chance to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. They just subconsciously aimed at all visible targets and attacked. Several German aircraft

Shortly after taking off, the aircraft was mistaken for a dive by the anti-aircraft guns behind it.

The enemy planes were shot down, and there were not many 88mm heavy anti-aircraft guns. In addition, because the opponent entered with the sun behind them, the range measurement was biased. The only effect they could play was to disperse the opponent's bombing formation, unless they were extremely lucky.

Worse, it was hit by an 88mm shell. Otherwise, generally speaking, it would only be scratched by shrapnel and it wouldn't cause much trouble.

The really deadly ones are those 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns! The ultra-high rate of fire, large numbers and huge power have become the enemy of low-altitude horizontal bombers. When the Allied aircraft approached the airport, countless flaming snakes seemed to suddenly emerge from the air.

A bombardment shot out from the ground and flew into the air.

The two bombers were unable to dodge and had one of their wings removed and then plunged into the open space next to the airport. The explosion caused by tons of aviation fuel and ammunition carried on the planes tore several ground support vehicles nearby to pieces. It was too late.

Those who escaped were also directly cremated.

These anti-aircraft guns equipped with half-track chassis can change their positions at any time, and certain armor protection also greatly reduces the suppression effect of fighter jets. Moreover, under intensive air defense firepower, fighter jets do not dare to fly too low.

Otherwise, even a 15mm machine gun may shoot it down.

When breaking through the anti-aircraft fire blockade, the attacking fleet paid a price, but soon, when the pilots saw the busy ground crew, vehicles and aircraft on the tarmac, they discovered that they had paid a price

It was all worth it! Rows of bombs fell like raindrops on the tarmac, runways and warehouses. It turned out that this was even an Italian airport.

, Italians naturally know it well. Explosions and air waves swept through the entire airport over and over again, overturning planes and blowing them up. The Germans were like ants running in the fire. Just a few weeks ago, Germany

Human bombers once raided Italian cities unscrupulously, bringing disaster and destruction. But now, it's the opponent's turn to show off!

In addition to attacking the most important airport, the surrounding military camps and field airports were also attacked by bomber forces. Hundreds of aircraft roared and circled at medium and low altitudes, spreading a hail of bullets representing death to the ground. Searching for all moving aircraft

thing, and then destroyed it. In just ten minutes, under the concentrated attack of more than a hundred bombers, the airport and other surrounding facilities were completely paralyzed. At the same time, the battle situation on the front line was also reported to Kaiser

Lin's headquarters.

"Order the fighter jets in other areas to quickly assemble in the direction of victory. What is the other side doing this time? Are they crazy?" Kesselin couldn't understand. It was the last moment. Why were the Allies still fighting so hard? Yes.

What has this strength been used for? In fact, you can understand it from another perspective. This is the last battle. If you don’t participate in the battle, you will have no chance to be tested in actual combat! Of course, you can’t dwell on these things at this time. How to save it?

The situation is what matters most.

"According to intelligence, the opponent has 500 aircraft, more than half of which are fighter jets. The opponent fights very tenaciously and fiercely. They don't just drop bombs and then leave. Instead, they continue to circle and attack over Japan."

An officer Hui reports.

"Hmm?! 500 planes? More than half of them are fighter jets?" Kesselring fell into deep thought. In a moment, he suddenly discovered a very important problem, that is, the opponent's fighter force was almost empty! The entire sky above Naples can be said to be a portal.

Wide open, and even if the opponent immediately retreats, it counts

The return time and the time to replenish ammunition and fuel will take several hours. If you send a bomber force to bomb Naples at this time, the effect should be very good! An idea flashed in Kesselin's mind, and he came up with a plan that not only allowed

A way to get rid of doubts and inflict serious damage on your opponents!
