Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2164 The first battle of the ace pilot

After reading the combat command center of the Air Force of the Southern African Expeditionary Force.

Look at your command center again.

Major General Parker finally had a newer understanding of the word "world".

What Major General Parker didn't expect was that after the Southern African Air Force Combat Command Center was established, the first thing it did was not to command operations, but to command the retreat of San Rocco.

Amazing, Southern Africa declared war on Germany on August 8rd, and now it is August 3th, and Saint Rocco is still under the control of Southern Africa.

San Rocco is now a ghost city.

After the German army surrounded San Roque, all access to San Roque was cut off.

Those who had already entered San Rocco were withdrawn in batches in the next few days, leaving only more than 1200 Umbrella Company mercenaries who had been transferred to the Southern African National Defense Forces.

Surrounding San Roque was the German Third Armored Division with a total strength of nearly 16000.

16000 vs. 1200, there is a huge gap in strength. The Third Armored Division is also equipped with the latest German No. [-] tanks. If the Third Armored Division launches an attack on San Roque, the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company will definitely not be able to withstand it.

But the world is so mysterious. Southern Africa has declared war on Germany for more than 20 days. There has not been any battle between the southern African army and the German army. further action.

"Let's go—" Claire greeted Chen Ting to get on the armored vehicle. They were the last group of southern African soldiers to leave San Roque.

For southern Africa, most Germans have feelings. After all, after the last world war, southern Africa gave Germany a lot of help. Many Germans were able to survive the era of soaring marks by relying on the food supported by southern Africa. Years of the Great Depression.

After Southern Africa joined the war, Saint Rocco maintained a strange state. Southern African soldiers and German soldiers even communicated with each other. Southern African soldiers and German soldiers often exchanged cigarettes, beer, ham sausage, and various souvenirs.

Oh, no, it's not ham sausage, it's sausage.

Starting five days ago, southern African soldiers began to dismantle the weapons and equipment in the fortifications, and shipped them out in batches.

On the opposite side of the wide and deep anti-tank trenches, the German soldiers watched silently, neither stopping nor attacking, with numb expressions.

Chen Ting glanced back at Clark on the opposite side of the anti-tank trench.

Clark sat on the tank machine gunner's position, with half of his body exposed from the turret, his hands resting on the machine gun with a complicated expression.

Right next to Clark, two bulldozers have been ignited and started. As long as the defenders are all withdrawn, the bulldozers will fill up the anti-tank trenches and then occupy San Rocco.

San Roque is now the only Allied city in Western Europe that has not been occupied by the Germans.

Chen Ting took out a lighter from his pocket and put it on the ground beside his feet, waved to Clark, turned around and got into the armored vehicle.

The armored vehicle roared and rushed towards the port.

Chen Ting believed that Clark must have seen his actions.

Chen Ting didn't want to comment on Clark's behavior.

But what Clark said is quite right: When the motherland is at war, those who not only fail to defend the motherland, but try to flee, are all cowards.

For this sentence, Claire and Chen Ting have different understandings.

Claire believes that it is the duty of soldiers to fight for the country. For ordinary people, it is understandable to flee Europe when the war comes, especially for a country like France. The French cannot be expected to protect those enemies in Paris. The so-called upper class people who run and dance according to horses.

This sounds deceptive.

Chen Ting insisted that even if the French government is not good enough, the French should fight for France, and hating the French government is not a reason to evade responsibility.

Neither of the two can convince the other, and their understanding on this issue is very different.

Armored vehicles are speeding on the deserted streets. There are tall buildings on both sides of the road, and there are rows of shop signs. Although the green belt in the middle of the road has not been pruned for more than ten days, it still looks tidy, and the road has not been cleaned for more than ten days. There is no litter flying around.

There is no doubt that this is a bustling city.

But such a prosperous city is about to be abandoned by Southern Africa.

Chen Ting was in a bad mood, staring blankly at the scenery outside the car window, not wanting to say a word.

Claire glanced at Chen Ting from the rearview mirror, but also said nothing.

In the port, the heavy cruiser "Saint Rocco" is also ready to evacuate.

Cao Shixiu sat on the command chair inside the bridge of the "San Roque" and looked at the city in front of him without saying a word.

As a soldier, Cao Shixiu would rather have a fight with the Germans than leave San Roque in this way.

San Roque is the home port of the San Roque Squadron.

The heavy cruiser "San Roque", the flagship of the Sacred Rocco Squadron.

"Sir, all the personnel have boarded the ship, and we can set off—" the adjutant came over to remind that the armored vehicle that Claire and Chen Ting were riding in was slowly entering the "Felwood" landing ship not far away.

Southern Africa has always attached great importance to auxiliary ships. During the last world war, medical ships in southern Africa participated in the war and played a huge role.

Southern Africa now has more auxiliary ships. The Royal Navy still needs trawlers for mine clearance. Southern Africa has dedicated minesweepers, which can not only be used for mine clearance, but also lay mines. The efficiency is much higher than that of trawlers.

The landing ship is a second-generation integrated supply ship, also known as an "amphibious combat ship". The deck can take off and land helicopters, and the spacious interior of the ship can transport "Tiger" tanks. Such a landing ship can transport 250 troops at a time. Fully armed marines, and amphibious ten armored vehicles, or amphibious tanks.

Cao Shixiu nodded, took one last look at Saint Locke, and ordered in a deep voice: "Let's go!"

Sooner or later, Cao Shixiu will come back.

While the remaining personnel are evacuated, the Southern African Air Force has begun to perform combat missions.

Unlike the passively defensive British Air Force, the Southern African Air Force's idea of ​​building an army has always been to defend against the enemy outside the country. Therefore, on the first day of participating in the operation, the Southern African Air Force began to carry out air strikes on the airport on the other side of the English Channel.

Then something embarrassing happened.

On the other side of the English Channel, the largest airport is San Rocco.

Therefore, if the San Loch Airport is not to be used by the Luftwaffe, then the Southern African Air Force will completely destroy the San Loch Airport.

Through the reconnaissance plane hovering over San Rocco, the scale of San Rocco Airport can be clearly seen.

San Roque Airport covers an area of ​​155 million square meters, and the terminal building alone has nearly 20 square meters. It may be the largest airport in Europe at this time, and it can be ranked first in the world.

The runway of St. Roch Airport is 1500 meters long, and there are two in total, enough for "Aunt Juncker" to take off and land. If a German plane takes off from St. Rochk Airport, it only needs to fly in the air for half an hour to reach London, and the radar may not be in time. early warning.

"Let's get started—" Xu Xiu's expression was indifferent. The airport can be rebuilt if it is gone, and everything must serve the war.

The command post of the Southern African Expeditionary Force Air Force has more advanced facilities than the command post of the British Air Force.

Following Xu Xiu's order, the "Cheetahs" and "Sky Fortresses" that were ready at the airport took off in batches.

The take-off distance of "Cheetah" is very short, and it only needs 200 meters to take off smoothly.

This is already considered far. The "Goshawk" installed by the Navy only needs a shortest take-off distance of 130 meters.

Compared with small and flexible fighter jets, the heavy "air fortresses" need at least a 1500-meter runway to take off and land smoothly. Xu Xiu dispatched a total of 12 "air fortresses" to escort these "air fortresses" in order to destroy the San Roque Airport The most important ones are 36 "Cheetahs" of the Second Air Force of the Air Force.

The "Cheetah" piloted by Sergio Rodri was the first to fly into the sky. His mission was to drive away the German aircraft and provide air cover for the "Flying Fortress".

Rodri's wingman, Alan, is of Russian origin. He is a young man with red hair. He is cheerful, brave and fearless, and has the potential to become an "ace pilot".

The combat aircraft organization of the Southern African Air Force is based on squadrons. A squadron has four fighter jets, a brigade has 12 fighter jets, and the wing plus four directly under it has a total of 40 fighter jets. The air force has three wings with a total of 125 combat aircraft.

Now the Southern African Air Force has a total of 7 air teams, which are constantly expanding.

Sergio Rodri's second brigade joined in the air and flew in the direction of San Rocco as a whole team.

The Germans don't have radar yet. If there are no accidents, this mission should go smoothly. By the time the Germans discover the actions of the Second Air Force, the "Sky Fortress" has already completed its mission and returned.

But accidents can happen anytime.

Not long after Sergio Rodri's plane took off, the combat alarm on Sergio Rodri's plane suddenly came on.

The air battle broke out in an instant.

Entering September, the German air raids on London still did not stop.

After Southern Africa joined the war, Goering's arrogance finally restrained himself, and the Luftwaffe dispatched fewer and fewer daytime missions.

Less does not mean no action, dozens of planes will still fly to London every day, looking for the British Air Force to fight, gradually consuming the combat effectiveness of the British Air Force.

But Goering probably didn't realize that what he did was also a waste of the Luftwaffe.

Moreover, the consumption of the German Air Force is obviously greater than that of the British Air Force.

After all, most of the British pilots could be rescued and survived after parachuting.

German pilots did not have such good luck. If they parachuted in British airspace, even if they were not beaten to death by the angry British, they would have to wait until after the war to return to Germany.

So in the process, British experienced pilots are accumulating, while German skilled pilots are getting less and less.

The participation of southern Africa in the war has brought more variables to the skies of Britain.

After spotting the German plane, Alan gestured to Rodri.

Rodri understood what Alan meant. Alan was challenging Rodri to see who could become the ace pilot first.
