Chapter 143: First Battle Victory 2)
The recruits have the highest proportion of deaths on the battlefield. At the same time, as long as they survive the first cruel battle, the recruits will become veterans!
Rick, the current naval aviation, is experiencing such a transformation!
After several holes were made in the wings, Rick immediately pulled the operating lever and the accelerator was fully opened!
He51 roared, pulled up from the sky, turned half a circle, and then turned it upside down.
When Rick raised his head, he saw the Spanish pilot looking around under his head.
The other party has lost Rick's trace!
Not every pilot is a trump card. Among pilots, the most important thing is to grasp the space. If there is a problem with the sense of space, it will even put the blue sky on the ground.
Now, Rick's maneuvering movement disappeared from the other party's eyes. The other party was still looking for Rick's trace in the front half of the world, but he didn't know that Rick's plane drew a beautiful 8-character in the air and had entered his back half of the world!
Shiver, Spaniard! Rick accurately puts the other person in his sight and pulls the trigger.
The tail-chasing attack is the easiest, especially now, the opponent is almost flying in a flat position, which is simply a good target!
The Nid-52 fighter in front was beaten by Rick and exploded in the air, accurately hitting the opponent's fuel tank!
A few minutes later, the air battle ended.
The government forces lost 9 fighter jets, and only one transport plane was shot down on the Condor Legion here, and one He-51 fighter jet was injured, which was a complete victory!
The news of victory was quickly passed back to Germany.
Cialek, who has become the commander of the Condor Legion, is highly praised.
At this time, the operation had just begun, and Cyric's headquarters had not yet entered Spain.
Franco's army has not yet gained a foothold in Spain. If Cialis goes now, it can only go to Morocco, Africa. So Cialis simply stayed at the base camp and set off after having a place in Spain.
"After this air battle, the Spanish government forces should know that they cannot compete with us with their own strength." On the side, Lieutenant Colonel Wolfram von Richterhofen, the chief of staff of the Condor Legion, was also very excited.
Historically, the chief of staff of the Condor Legion was Horle. Unfortunately, this guy didn't know how to deal with people and had constant conflicts with Major General Hugo Speer, the commander of the Legion. As a result, he was replaced within a few months. The new one was Lieutenant Colonel Richterhofen.
And now, Cirick certainly would not find a self-righteous young man to partner with him. After he became commander, he immediately promoted Richterhofen.
He is an excellent military talent and can also be good at interpersonal relationships.
Historically, Richterhofen, who had been in Italy for four years, not only got along well with his immediate boss Spele, but also quickly mastered Spanish and was able to cooperate with Franco and his officers.
Of course, Cialek would not let go of such talents. Now, because Cialek denied the Horer proposed by Goring and promoted Richthofen, Richthofen was also grateful to Cialek.
Still speaking, Cialek bribed the Air Force officer.
Now, the first air battle has ended. After this air battle, the Spanish Air Force completely lost its fighting spirit and no longer took off to intercept it. The transport planes of the Condor Legion traveled four or five times a day between Morocco and Spain, transporting Franco's army, weapons and equipment over.
"Our help has made the Spanish government forces realize the huge gap." Cialick said: "How do you think the government forces can get it back next?"
Putting yourself in the shoes of the other party, and considering it from the other party's perspective is something that every military strategist must master.
"They have to find new helpers," said Richthofen.
Germany began to help Franco, and Italy also began to assist the right-wing military. In this case, the government forces were in danger and they must seek assistance!
Then, the next question is, where do they need to get assistance? France, Britain, and of course not. Since Germany has been involved, France and Britain will be self-aware and maintain neutrality. This is the connotation of appeasement!
Avoid war and love peace!
Besides France and Britain, what other countries can help the Spanish government? The answer is the Soviet Union.
"Only the Soviet Union will provide support to the Spanish government, and a large number of Soviet fighters will enter Spain. Next, it is our air force soldiers who will be dispatched." Cialek said.
The first action started was to escort the naval pilots. Richterhofen, who was born in the Air Force, wisely expressed his support. Cialek would never hide the Air Force. Now, Sure enough, Cialek mentioned the Air Force!
The Navy used the biplane He51, which was just right to practice with Spain's backward Nid-52 fighter jets. However, after the Soviets came reinforcements, a large number of biplane I-15 and single-wing I-16 would come. The performance of these aircraft was higher than that of He51.
At that time, the navy will not be able to dispatch it, otherwise it will be suicide. In air combat, the performance of the aircraft is very important.
Therefore, the second phase of the mission is to seize air supremacy of the Air Force, and the Navy's He51 will bomb the ground and continue to temper the Navy!
Richterhoven nodded: "Yes, our air force is ready. Many of the first batch of those who went to the battlefield are veterans of World War I, and they can't wait."
"However, the Soviet Union will not support the Spanish government in vain." Cirick said: "The Soviets are not like us, they are entirely out of international friendship."
Germany supported Franco unconditionally. After all, Spain had great strategic significance for Germany. Unfortunately, Franco's performance later made Hitler sad. During World War II, no matter how Hitler lobbled, Franco seemed to have amnesia and could not remember the support from Germany and Italy during the Civil War, and firmly expressed his neutrality.
A very ungrateful wolf.
And the Soviet Union was quite wise. It was easy to show sincerity if it wanted the Soviet Union to support it!
The Spanish government was very sincere and handed over the stock of about 600 tons of gold to the Soviet Union!
Although Spain has declined now, it was once a country that ruled the world's Great Discovery Age. Although it has declined to this day, Spain is still the sixth largest gold reserve in the world.
Chapter completed!
