Chapter 216 We are the strongest
But in the end, all the high-level officers, whether they were despising the German air force or taking the German high-level officers seriously, agreed that the future war would be an air battle.
Of course, the reason why these high-level officers of the British and American Allied forces are so consistent is not because of the joint suggestions of General Carl Spazz, General Arnold, Commander-in-Chief of the US Air Force, Commander Mallory, and Lieutenant General Eisenhower and Smith, that the arrogant aviation officers who have changed due to the large-scale bombing in the past two days are so consistent.
Moreover, after the meeting, Eisenhower and all high-level officers agreed that the day after tomorrow, a large-scale bombing of Berlin, Germany would be carried out for 3 days and 3 nights.
Of course, other important large and medium-sized cities have also stepped up their efforts to carry out bombing, especially the German aircraft manufacturing factories, which are more focused on bombing, including the German V-shaped rocket research base set up by the German army in Penemide.
After the order was issued, a total of 6,218 British and American aircraft gathered.
There are more than 3,000 bombers and more than 2,000 fighter jets.
The bomber brigades that were preparing to bomb Berlin, Germany the day after tomorrow were the 94th, 95th, 96th, 351, 324th and 379th bomber brigades respectively for the main bombing, as well as the 4th fighter brigades and the 6th fighter brigades to cover.
And there is also the entire 9th Air Force as a reserve. Once the German anti-aircraft gun group and aircraft group attack, these reserve air force will be put into combat at critical moments to achieve final victory and expand the results.
This time, such a large-scale bombing operation not only raided the downtown area of Berlin and the civilian areas, but also bombed the German submarine factories, naval shipyards, bearing industries, oil industries, aircraft production factories, oil refineries, and rocket research bases.
When Eisenhower's latest combat order was issued, all the aviation troops prepared for another new pre-war preparation as instructed.
The evening glow reflects the sky, which is very beautiful.
With such beautiful scenery, a large number of planes continued to transfer from Tunisia to the airport on Pantelleria Island.
After Britain and the United States occupied the small islands and airports of the Italian army, they reorganized and renovated the airports, making the airports here wider and cleaner.
And the number of aircraft that can accommodate is twice as high.
The p-47 Thunder Fighter Group and the p-51 Fighter Group also arrived here one after another, accepting the command and operation of the 8th and 9th air forces.
Of course, more than a thousand P-40 fighters and P-38 fighters were dispatched; and nearly 3,000 b-17 and b-24 bombers were transported together.
Moreover, the British army's "Lancet", "Harifax", "Sterling" and "Wellington" types, as well as mosquito bombers, also sent 2,000 thousand aircraft to participate in the war.
Hurricane fighters and Typhoon fighters also dispatched 1,800 aircraft to cover the battle.
Of course, such a large-scale aircraft mobilization requires transporting them one by one, rather than all at once; because Pantelleria Island Airport is not too big and cannot accommodate so many aircraft.
But even so, the entire Pantelleria Airport's apron was soon filled with various fighter jets; and bombers, and their fuel had been replenished.
This allows these aircraft to be launched at any time and launched into the air for combat.
Although the pilots of these aircraft have been exhausted due to fighting all day, their fighting will is still very energetic; they are full of energy, full of vitality, and lively.
Of course, there are also a few who are exhausted, sluggish, listless, and dejected.
The former's fighting will is still so strong because they completed their bombing target areas and did not see German air force appearing to attack them.
The latter was shot down by the German anti-aircraft artillery group because many of their comrades were shot down.
Although many pilots successfully parachuted, they escaped the disaster and survived the disaster.
But because of the casualties of many pilots, the pilots of that part of the air force were so depressed and sad.
However, the next morning, the fish belly on the horizon appeared, and all the pilots in the island airport were awakened by the gathering alarm sound; and hurriedly gathered towards the airport to see what was going on.
"Have all the pilots arrived?"
As soon as he saw all the pilots gathered together, Lieutenant General Bill, the officer of the 3rd Flying Fighter, immediately asked.
"The pilots of 400 bombers and the pilots of 100 fighters are all here! Please give me instructions from the commander!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a captain of the flight brigade responded immediately.
"I woke you up so early today because of our combat plan to bomb Berlin, Germany; the Aviation Command has reached an agreement on assistance with Commander Eisenhower!"
"That is to say, the next second large-scale bombing operation of our Eagle Aviation Division must be successful and must not fail."
"The sky of Germany belongs to our Eagle Corps, the German air force or the flight troops of their vassal states; they will either be shot down and destroyed by us, or escape! Or they will be transferred to targets and escape routes, so I order you to monitor and keep them in good condition for every move and location of these air forces there!"
"Otherwise, if I find out, I will bear the consequences!"
Lieutenant General Bill still issued the latest combat orders without fear.
"Yes! Commander!"
All the British and American pilots present echoed loudly.
"At the same time, all of you must fully understand that the goal of our operation is to destroy all German aircraft factories! Blast it!"
Lieutenant General Bill glanced at him with admiration
"Yes! Commander!"
The pilots who had already reacted immediately shouted loudly with excitement.
"But the next more exciting thing is to bomb Berlin, the capital of the Germans. You are about to be the first pilots to attack! So are you feeling excited and excited?"
Lieutenant General Bill continued to smile and said excitedly.
"feel!"
All the pilots spoke in unison again.
"Then today's Berlin bombing operation, you must show it well and let those fascist Germans know the power of our British and American allies! Tell them that we are the strongest!"
Finally, Lieutenant General Bill shouted loudly in an incitement tone.
"We are the strongest!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the pilots immediately screamed with excitement.
"Then you go and have your own breakfast and prepare to set out for the battle!"
Lieutenant General Bill gave an order with a brilliant smile like thunder.
"Yes! Commander!"
Chapter completed!
