1422 Balkan sky 2
The three finally reached a unified opinion, and asked the French air force to come over and continued to cry for poverty to the Supreme Command of the Allied Powers. Before the Balkan General Command issued an order to the Air Force, Trenchad unified the command of the Army Air Force, um. However, on the second day after the three reached an agreement, when General Trenchad was about to set off to go to the Balkans again, the offensive code-named "Thunder Strike" was officially launched, commanded by the Bavarian Air Force Balkan War Zone commander and Lieutenant General Harrell himself!
"The Empire United is ready and can take off."
"The Dragon Slayer United is ready and can take off."
"The Assassin United is in place and can take off."
With the transmission of telephones and radios, more than ten airports located throughout the Balkans have completed the final preparations, with 160 K-6 bombers and 240 fighter jets ready to go. This is just the first wave of attack today! Nearly nine months later, the Bavarian Air Force once again had a large-scale collision with the British and French Air Forces.
"I don't know if the level of the British and French air forces has improved substantially during this period. I'm looking forward to it." Lieutenant General Harrell said, touching his chin.
The bombing is really like planes flying together, and then directly facing the target? It is possible to fight the Russians, but it is impossible to fight Britain and France. In fact, when the war turns from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, there is even more room for play. As a five-year-old general, Harrell, who has been in the industry, fought from the Eastern Front to the Western Front, and then returned from the Western Front to the Eastern Front, and now he has begun to fight against the Balkans. He naturally knows what to do when facing a difficult enemy!
The target of Harrell was the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki. This city itself is a harbor city and one of the most important sea and land transportation hubs in Greece's narrow and long eastern region. More than 60% of the materials transported to the front line will be transferred here. 160 bombers, considering the attack distance and the optimal firepower combination, it is good to carry 200 tons of bombs. 200 tons of bombs seem to be a lot, but it is far from enough for a core area of a solid defense of an Allied country. Not to mention bombing cities, many ammunition may be wasted on suppressing air firepower. The British 2-pound gun (40mm rapid-fire gun), the French 75mm anti-aircraft gun (m1897 barrels replaced with gun mounts) and large machine guns are not easy to mess with.
However, even so, the entire fleet was divided into several parts, with only 80 k-6 bombers and 180 various fighter jets actually attacking. They became a huge fleet of aircraft that stretched for several kilometers and was distributed in vertical airspace from 2,500 meters to 3,000 meters flying towards the target.
"The British have discovered us." A German non-commissioned officer took off his head and said to the officer sitting in the main seat on a specially improved K-6j bomber. "The British's radio communication began to run at a high level 15 minutes ago. Their communication density was very high. Judging from the results of radio positioning, more than 60% were from the airports we had already located."
"Yes, some of our methods on the Eastern Front may not be easy to use. We took off at dawn and then followed the terrain to cover the terrain, so why were we discovered?" The officer fell into deep thought.
"It may be a listener. The British deployed listeners on the periphery. The current aircraft are not flying at a high level, and we are all large aircraft groups. There are hundreds of aircraft out at once, and the warning range of listeners will be very large. Therefore, it is normal for the British to be prepared for it." Another officer said.
"It seems that our air strike will not be very lucky." The first officer smiled bitterly.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, this time, we mainly rely on Team B to achieve results. Our task is to restrain and test." The second officer turned around with a smile and began to continue monitoring the British's radio communications.
"The German aircraft fleet is coming, and it is very large. We cannot determine the specific scale of the target due to the light and terrain. However, according to the news from the front-line monitoring station, there are at least hundreds of aircraft fleets."
"They have entered the B5 zone and continue to fly in the direction. If nothing unexpected happens, their goal should be in Thessaloniki."
"Our reconnaissance aircraft have discovered targets, with at least 200 enemy aircraft, and we can see large bombers." Information quickly gathered through radio and telephone networks within the Aviation Command of the Allied Balkans Theater in Athens. Under the command and coordination of Air Force Major General Roses, the air force in the entire northern Greek theater Command began to gather, and an air hedging was inevitable.
As Ruprecht expected, the British's level was several Wallaces higher than the Russians! If the Russians had not even developed a basic visual air warning system, the British had already developed a space-to-air realm system that could be warned from a long distance.
This system is composed of air-to-air monitoring stations deployed in layers on the front line. The use of a so-called amplified listening device makes it possible to discover enemy aircraft groups from the perspective. (Interested readers can check the air-to-air listening device. Japan used this thing to warn before the outbreak of World War II.) Then, through complex radio equipment and telephone networks, the British used this system to form their own neural network. The airports scattered throughout Greece were the giant's iron fist.
As for why the prince is so clear, on the one hand, it is because he is a time traveler, and on the other hand, Bavaria's air alert system is essentially the same. It is very simple to judge others by oneself! However, the Bavarian Air Force naturally has a way to break through this system. This time, it is a test of the British's dispatch and vision. After all, the decision-makers of this system are still human. If the commander's judgment is biased, he will lose half of it first!
"All aircraft groups began to climb, the bomber's flight altitude increased to more than 3,200 meters, and the fighter's flight altitude increased to 3,500 to 4,000 meters." Major General Canning, who was responsible for the front line command, issued an order. Then, in the surprised eyes of a group of British reconnaissance pilots, the flight altitude of the German aircraft groups did not decrease but rose!
"This tm situation is wrong. If you want to bomb, you must lower the height in order to ensure accuracy. How can you increase the height when you approach the target? This does not conform to the principle!" The British said it was difficult to understand.
The sudden unexpected situation caused the British's entire deployment to chaos. What they feared most in the war was that the other party did not play according to common sense and had no plan to deal with it...
