After Redel sent the report, he rushed from Naples to the German High Seas Fleet Base in Crete. He didn't have time to care about the disputes among the top leaders because there was another thing to do. Redel's first telegram only proved the necessity of large aircraft carriers from the perspective of aircraft carriers. What Redel had to do was to prove to the German Navy that the money was worth the money!

In the base code-named Eagle Nest, the Luftwaffe is conducting a simulated take-off and landing training, and after completing the training in the morning, it will conduct actual flight and combat training in the afternoon. The German Navy will simulate large-scale take-off and landing and attack operations from land airports. This time, the German Navy will also test newly obtained guided bombs and missiles. In order to ensure the strictness of the test, Redell even arranged for other fighter jets to patrol the exercise airspace, and they have the right to shoot down any aircraft that breaks into the area. In the waters around the target ship, the German destroyer fleet also blocked the scene. This high-standard measure is also the first time in the history of the German Navy!

The entire simulation site is carried out according to the strict operation process on the aircraft carrier, and even the size of the site is delineated according to the size of the aircraft carrier. The wide apron is represented by a white line. All aircraft entering the field from the "simulation lift" next to it must operate strictly inside the white line. Once the center of gravity of an aircraft moves outside the white line, the aircraft will be judged to fall into the sea and will not be subject to the actual flight exercise below. The relevant ground crew will also leave bad records in the performance evaluation.

Record! Next to the apron is a low hangar. The height of this hangar is completely built according to the height of the hangar of the aircraft carrier. It turned out that the normal hangar at 7 to 8 meters high has become a height of only 5 meters, which made many ground crew members feel very uncomfortable, especially when maintaining the bf110 aircraft. This discomfort reached its peak. "We stood on the plane and couldn't even stand straight, and we could even work on our hangar. This was simply too difficult." A ground crew member once complained.

In these narrow areas, German Navy ground crews will complete the complete process including repair, refueling, mounting, positioning and takeoff and landing. Nearly a hundred various aircraft are concentrated on two indoor hangars and one tarmac. Hundreds of ground crews are busy from 7 a.m. to 11:30 noon. Of course, the real takeoff combat training will not take that long. The key is that they also have to practice the installation and commissioning of backup fighters. In the "upper hangar", the personnel participating in the exercises, with the help of lifting equipment, sent two huge wings and bf110 fighters to the area marked with the lift. Then they began to install wings in the low room. Another part of the ground crew simulated refueling the aircraft.

The ground crews who were conducting drills on the open-air apron were also not easy. At the beginning, the Germans tried to push the BF110 aircraft full of bombs and fuel to the takeoff point with their hands, but then this effort was abandoned. "Even if we were covered with people around the wings and fuselage, it was difficult to send this giant to the designated location. It was too heavy!" Redell commented on the operation scene at that time in his diary. However, later a more intelligent guy drove a Volkswagen barrel car from his home. This small car that could ride in two people was very small. Even on the narrow aircraft carrier deck. So this barrel car appeared as a carrier-based tractor, and the German Navy also specially designed a towing rod. You can say that after having a tractor, the Germans' preparation efficiency was indeed much higher.

"From maintenance in the hangar to the preparation of bullets and then to deck positioning, it takes about 2 hours for us to prepare a fleet of 45 aircraft on the USS Europa. This crew has 15 FW190 fighters, 15 FW190f dive bombers and 15 BF110 twin-engine attack aircraft. The FW190 aircraft can be shipped at most 5 to 6 aircraft, while the BF110 aircraft can be shipped at most 3 aircraft in a row, while the BF110 aircraft can be shipped at most 3 aircraft in a row.

Because the fw190 is smaller in size, we theoretically have the possibility of increasing. All fw190f bombers are equipped with 500kg bombs. Among the bf110 attack aircraft, five are equipped with torpedoes, five are equipped with 2 500kg guided bombs, and five are equipped with Viper anti-ship missiles." At 11:30, the preparation work came to an end, and an officer reported to Redell.

"Very good. Take off on time at 1 pm. The highway guys, I hope they can finish the work before 3 o'clock!" Redel nodded with satisfaction. Looking at the densely packed planes parked at the airport, he felt a sense of pride. The long sword that the German naval aviation company dreamed of was finally cast in his hands. Now, it is time to test his sharpness. I hope the afternoon test will not disappoint him!

The runway of the airport is also set according to the standards on the aircraft carrier. Because the wind speed on land is too low, after consideration, Raidel decided to appropriately extend the scooter distance to compensate for the 25 deck winds on the aircraft carrier. One plane started to warm up, and the author was in a precise move. The huge power bmw801 engine began to operate, and 14 cylinders in the twin rows accelerated to reciprocating. The propeller began to rotate at a high speed. With the help of the guide personnel, one FW190 fighter jets began to enter the scooter position and then took off.

The 30 aircraft in front were successfully lifted into the sky. What really made people feel distressed was the bf110 aircraft behind, which basically took off with heavy loads. Although they reduced internal oil to reduce weight, in order to use guided bombs, some additional equipment was added to the aircraft, so the weight reduction was very limited. 15 aircraft entered the middle and started to release them. This time, the luck seemed good. Only one aircraft had not left the ground when it reached the takeoff boundary line. According to regulations, he would lose the opportunity to fly in formation and participate in live ammunition target shooting. He could only circle around and throw the bomb to the designated location and come back.

"They are so fast!" A pilot of a bf109 fighter jet patrolling in the guard zone looked at the formation in the distance from a distance. 44 aircraft were organized into a group to fly to the target area at a speed of more than 450 kilometers per hour. The bf109 can also achieve such a cruise speed, but if there is a load, the fuel consumption of high-speed cruise is not something that its small fuel tank can bear. Although the internal oil situation of the fw190 is still not much, 500kg of internal oil plus 300l of external oil is enough to deal with most situations. According to the information provided by the accompanying flight Ju88, Radell and others can clearly mark the direction and position of the air force aircraft group on the sand table.

"The rapid fleet formation is indeed feasible. The speed advantage brought by the new aircraft greatly shortens our strike time. Especially the addition of twin-engine aircraft has made it possible for our heavy-duty attack aircraft to cruise at high speed in advance. The Americans and the British have been limited in their thinking, and we have an advantage in this regard." An officer said with satisfaction as he looked at the fleet gradually approaching the target on the mountain plate.

"Don't forget that there is also Huaxia. They are more terrifying existences than the navies of the United States and Britain. The Chinese Navy seems to have an intuition. They can always grasp the pulse of military development. Almost every battle is one step faster than others!" Redel's words changed the atmosphere of the entire command center. "Okay, let's take a look at the attack effect first. I hope the attack aircraft formation can achieve a result that satisfies us."

"The attack aircraft formation has entered the air above the target. All target ships were seen, and the single-engine attack aircraft formations attacked the target ship No. 1 and 2. The bomber carrying 500kg guided bombs attacked the target ship No. 3. The aircraft carrying 1,000kg guided bombs attacked the target ship No. 4. The torpedo aircraft attacked the target ship No. 5. The fighter carried rockets to attack the target ship No. 6." When the six target ships anchored on the sea appeared in everyone's field of vision, the entire exercise reached a climax. The 44 aircraft will be divided into 6 attack groups to launch attacks. The surveillance aircraft located in the air will record the attack results of each unit one by one.

"Young guys, cheer up. Those guys who drive twin-engine aircraft are planning to watch our good show and let us prove that we are not weak with actual results." The commander of the single-engine bomber squadron said in the channel. The actual situation is indeed the case. The German Navy asked them to attack to see how accurate the single-engine bomber dive attack and the twin-engine bomber horizontal bomber bomber was. When the latter used guided bombs, the fw190 bomber was divided into two teams and dived towards the sea. They first began to slide down and flew. When the altitude dropped to 1,500 meters, they began to enter the high-angle dive channel. The 15 bombers were divided into two groups to launch bombing at an angle of 65 degrees to 80 degrees.

"Altitude 500 meters! Bomb drop!" As the bomb fell off the mount, the entire aircraft was suddenly lightened. Even the nose was slightly raised. The skilled pilot quickly controlled the aircraft to slowly pull it up and changed it from the dive attack. The entire attack process lasted for more than ten minutes. Faced with a target of 5,000 tons of 1 battle light cruiser, the number of hits of these 15 bombers was 6 rounds! There were 2 rounds close to missing bombs! Overall, this hit accuracy was pretty good for the fw190f bomber squadron that had just been equipped.

Because it was a test, the bomb was not loaded with explosives, otherwise the light cruiser could be destroyed after one bomb was fired. The single-shot bomber group that completed the attack did not evacuate but continued to hover on the exercise field. They wanted to see how the teammates who obtained the new toys were in the situation. Five bf110 aircraft flew from a height of 5,000 meters to the target bomb droppers in the back seat first checked the radio guidance equipment and bomb drop devices, and then locked the target warship tightly with an optical lens.

"The target level distance is 4500 meters, we approach 3500 meters, and then lower the altitude to 4000 meters." The bomber said to the pilot in the front row after observing for a moment. "No problem, wait half a minute!" The pilot in the front row said. These bombers launched one frame to attack one frame, because they were two 500kg guided bombs, so they had two chances of attack. The hanger was slightly loosened, and a 500kg bomb fell from the carrier aircraft. Because the bf110 aircraft itself has a large weight, the flight status of the aircraft did not change much after throwing the bomb. Then the smoke pipe at the tail of the bomb was discharged, and the bomber captured the traces of the bomb.

"Enter the autonomous driving state, the rest depends on yours." The pilot in the front row asked the plane to fly at a straight line at a constant speed. Then the controller began to slightly adjust the flight posture of the bomb. With the help of the single wing on the upper part of the bomb, the bomb flew quickly like a glider. The smoke pipe at the tail left a tortuous trajectory in the air. Two minutes later, the bomb landed 10 meters from the port side of the battleship. A water column as high as ten meters was built!

"Damn it, it's a near-lost bomb! We need to lower the height a little further, the target is too small." The bomb dropper in the back row rubbed his eyes, which were sour. If it was a large warship, maybe the bomb would hit. In the eyepiece, the bomb was almost stuck to the warship and entered the water. If it was on the battlefield, the near-lost bomb would be enough for the opponent to suffer. The bomb dropper told his experience to his comrades behind him via radio. After learning from his experience and lessons, his colleagues directly reduced the attack height to 3,000 meters, and still maintained 3,500 meters. And appropriately magnified the scope's magnification!

A few minutes later, the No. 3 target ship was directly hit by four bombs, and another one was nearly missing. At this time, four aircraft had already launched an attack. The results were already pretty good even now, and the last aircraft did not succeed in launching an attack. The reason was very simple. The light cruiser hit by a high-altitude horizontal bomb was already sunk! Although there was a 500kg iron block, then the powerful gravity potential energy and solid bullet body, two bombs directly penetrated the bottom of the ship! The water inflow caused the warship to quickly sink.

Just when the last crew regretted that he missed an opportunity, the situation of another group of carrier Viper anti-ship missiles was worse than that of him! Because the Viper missile launched by the first BF110 bomber that launched the attack destroyed the target! The Viper missile looked a bit like a small aircraft in appearance. There were two larger single wings on the bomb, and there was also a rocket engine on the upper part of the bomb that could work for more than ten seconds. Because of its huge appearance, this specially improved BF110 aircraft was equipped with a semi-buried missile bay so that it could accommodate this missile weighing 900kg. However, even so, it was still not easy for this aircraft to take off. The only BF110 aircraft in the group that failed to take off even though it carried the Viper missile! Considering that everyone was an elite crew and had been trained for several months, the loss rate was still elite.

However, the strike effect of this weapon is really good. The speed of this missile reaches nearly 900 kilometers per hour when it finally approaches the target. The huge kinetic energy and its own weight make it full of destructive power! "This bomb hits the target directly from the starboard superstructure of the warship, and then passes through the entire hull diagonally and drills out from the port side waterline! It almost hits the target ship in two pieces like a giant sword! This poor warship sank into the sea within 2 minutes!" Afterwards, a German seaplane pilot who was observing the bombing effect at a low altitude said this!
