BXBX NOVEL Chapter 792: destroy
"I\'m already filling up the fuel at the fastest speed! But this **** tanker can only go so fast, what can I do?" the ground crew named Jack said impatiently.
"Da da da!"
Suddenly, a German F2 fighter jet passed the turret, and a series of bullets from aviation machine guns shot over. Jack was shot in the chest immediately, and the whole person flew upside down.
"My God!" the pilot shouted.
He jumped off the plane in a hurry, preparing to escape. However, a bomb had fallen and hit his plane exactly.
"Boom!"
The bomb exploded and also detonated the refueling truck. The flames completely engulfed the pilot and his plane.
Several H1 bombers, flying over shells. Bombs fell from under the belly of the aircraft like dumplings, and then there was a dense explosion, and the entire runway head was enveloped in flames. The British fighter planes parked on the runway were all engulfed in flames.
The huge hangar next to it was also the key target for German aircraft to destroy. With the air defense fire at the airport suppressed, several H1 fighter jets threw a total of three tons of aerial bombs into the hangar. Although, there are not many aircraft left in the hangar. But it was still all destroyed.
Immediately afterwards, the airport\'s ammunition depots, fuel depots, pilot dormitories, restaurants, and sentry towers all became the targets of German aircraft attacks. Under the bombing of German bombers, these targets were all destroyed.
The German bombing lasted only 20 minutes. However, when the German army finished dropping the bombs and evacuated, the entire airport had become a mess and fragmented.
"God! It\'s over, this time it\'s really over." The person in charge of the airport looked at the devastated airport, wanting to cry but not crying. It will take a lot of time to build such an airport. Now, everything is over. In addition, the loss of those advanced fighter jets and pilots made it impossible for the British to be replenished in a short time.
Fighters are okay. Although the production speed is a bit slower, they can always be replenished slowly. But pilots are different. The Royal Air Force already lacks enough pilots. Especially experienced fighter pilots. Once the rookie takes off, it will only become a target for the Germans.
British Royal Air Force Staff Headquarters, Admiral Trenchard stood in front of the window of his office, his face was gloomy as if water could drip out. From his office, he could clearly see thick smoke billowing from the airport not far away.
"Damn it, the target of the Germans is really our airport. This time, the Royal Air Force must have suffered heavy losses. Now, what should we use to compete with the Germans for air supremacy?" Admiral Trenchard kept asking himself. However, he didn\'t even know what to do.
General Trenchard did not expect that the German attack would be so swift and decisive, directly attacking their airport. Even London, the capital of the British Empire, is there, but the Germans turn a blind eye to it.
Although, bombing London will have a big impact on the morale of the British. However, it did not help much in itself to promote the development of the war situation. So, the Luftwaffe directly made the best choice.
"General, what should we do now? All four major airports were blown up by the Germans. Our fighter force was almost wiped out. Now, there are less than twenty intact planes. Most of them are It was just produced from the factory. The loss of pilots is also very large, and the number of pilots who have experience in aerial combat is very small." A Royal Air Force general looked dazed and helpless.
Originally, the strength of the Royal Air Force was very weak, and after this round of attacks by the German Army Air Force, it was almost destroyed.
"Order the troops to rescue the injured pilots as much as possible. The destroyed airport must also be repaired. Restore as much strength as possible!" Admiral Trenchard said.
"Yes, General!" The general nodded and went to make arrangements immediately.
After the general left, Admiral Trenchard closed his eyes in pain. It was not easy for the Royal Air Force to accumulate such wealth. But now, it was lost all at once. Moreover, when the war is very unfavorable to Britain, it is impossible for them to regain their strength.
This attack by the German Army Air Force has a very obvious effect. Several major airfields of the Royal Air Force were destroyed, more than 170 new fighter jets were lost, and countless pilots and ground crews were killed or injured.
Although the Royal Air Force still has a batch of new fighter jets left, but because of the limited number, it is no longer enough to pose any threat to the German Army Air Force. In the ensuing battle, the Royal Air Force could no longer provide any support to the British Army.
The German Army Air Force lost more than forty aircraft in this round of attacks. Among them, the number of fighter jets reached nearly 30, while there were only a dozen bombers. Almost all of the lost fighters were shot down during air battles with British Air Force fighters, or when suppressing ground anti-aircraft fire.
Although the losses accounted for a lot, the Royal Navy could be defeated in one go. This is still very cost-effective for these losses. Without the interference of the British Air Force, the German Army Air Force will be able to bomb the British Army with all its strength.
"Very good, very good. General Zeckert, you have done a great job!" Marshal von Falkenhain smiled after getting the final result. He is very satisfied with the results achieved by the German Army Air Force this time.
"Your Excellency, the British Air Force is too weak. With the Imperial Army Air Force fully dispatched, they simply cannot fight us!" Lieutenant General Zeckert looked very humble.
"General Zeckert, don\'t we have to worry about the threat of the British Air Force next?" Admiral Crook asked. After all, their attack on Canterbury is about to start.
"Although the British still have some aircraft left, there is nothing to worry about. The Army Air Corps will completely eliminate all threats!" Lieutenant General Zeckert replied confidently.
