Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2428 Americans also steal
For the United Kingdom, the United States and southern Africa, the Normandy landing was the largest operation since the outbreak of World War II. It was of great significance and could be called the turning point of World War II.

This is actually self-deception. Compared with the Russian battlefield, the "Overlord" operation is more similar to picking peaches. If you don't act, it will be too late, and Russia is about to snatch all the fruits of victory.

In order to confuse the Germans, the Allied forces have increased the frequency of naval and air force dispatches around Calais this month. The navy has conducted armed reconnaissance around Calais many times, and the air force has continued to bomb the defense facilities around Calais, especially the field airport.

Ruskin's squadron is the ace squadron of the "Madagascar" aircraft carrier. Among the 12 pilots, there are 8 ace pilots. Their task is to clear the airspace around Calais. In the past week, Ruskin's squadron has shot down 16 A German fighter plane.

It's not that they are unable to shoot down more, but that the German army is taking off fewer and fewer fighter jets. Since the Battle of Britain, the German army has transferred its main air power to the direction of Russia, and now it has no ability to protect the airspace around Calais.

The problem facing the Luftwaffe is very serious now. Almost all of their excellent pilots are lost in Russia. The aircraft are getting fewer and fewer, and the number of excellent pilots is also decreasing. However, there are more and more aircraft in Russia. Even if the German Air Force is given 100 A Hartmann, the German Air Force can not win.

According to the latest news, Hartman has shot down more than 200 Allied fighters, and this number is still increasing at a rate of about 1.5 per day.

Even in the Southern African Army, Hartmann had become a legend.

"How did this guy do it?" On the way to the war room, Sams got the latest battle report.

"Fortunately, this means that this guy can encounter at least 1.5 opponents every day, and I suspect that his performance is watery. Maybe the German pilots left him with more opportunities to shoot down in order to continue his myth." Ruskin Don't believe in evil, if Ruskin is given enough combat opportunities, Ruskin believes that he can do it too.

Let alone whether it is possible or not, this self-confidence should be encouraged.

"I am also an ace now, and I will leave you with more chances to shoot down." Sams is already satisfied with being an ace. In the battle the day before yesterday, Ruskin could add another victory for himself. Sams, Ruskin gave Sams the chance to shoot down his opponent.

"Ha, no need, I won't be polite next time." Ruskin didn't need to take care of him, he was the real trump card.

In the combat preparation room, the map of Calais is still hanging.

"Air patrol again—" Sams was disappointed, he preferred to go to Paris.

The southern African air force is frequently dispatched, mainly in the vicinity of the English Channel, and occasionally goes deep into the European continent. Of course, the danger of doing so is much greater.

Ruskin did not speak, took out his small notebook, and quietly listened to Qiao Sheng's assignment of combat tasks.

"Our operation this time involved the participation of the British and the Americans. We sent out a brigade each to carry out a large-scale sweep around Calais. In addition to the fixed targets, the docks and port facilities are also within our attack range. Our task is to defend against German support from Paris and other directions, and to create a safe environment for our bombers." Qiao Sheng's tone was relaxed, and his eyes were slightly worried.

Sure enough, as soon as Qiao Sheng finished speaking, the pilots started talking about it.

"It's fine to bring the British, can you not let the Americans join, I don't like Yankees!"

"U.S. pilots are all newbies, and I am worried that they will hold us back."

"I'm worried that the Americans will shoot our black guns—"

It's normal to hold back, but it's too much to shoot black guns.

This is not out of thin air. A few days ago, when a British reconnaissance plane was returning from its mission, it was attacked by patrolling American fighter jets.

The attacked British reconnaissance plane narrowly escaped with good technology and excellent reconnaissance performance.

The reconnaissance planes of the British army were provided by Southern Africa.

Afterwards, the U.S. military pilot claimed that he misread the logo on the wing of the British reconnaissance plane and thought it was a German reconnaissance plane.

This reason is too perfunctory. There is still a big difference between the black cross and the Mizi flag, and the eyes of the American pilots are not very good.

The Southern African Air Force also had a feud with the U.S. Air Force. During the Brazilian Civil War, southern African pilots fought against American pilots. The result was that the southern African pilots were superior.

This result made the U.S. Air Force very unconvinced. In recent years, the U.S. Air Force has also tried its best, never forgetting revenge.

Since the United States entered the war, a large number of US troops have arrived in the UK, and several of them have clashed with southern African soldiers every day.

"Quiet, please trust our allies, they may not be professional enough, but black guns are unlikely, we have to worry about the Germans, the Germans already know that we are about to launch a landing operation, so this time we are likely to face Elite pilots drawn from the Russian battlefield by Germany." Qiao Sheng reminded the pilots to pay more attention to the fact that the Germans still have strength.

Qiao Sheng pinned a picture on the blank space of the map with a thumbtack, emphasizing: "Pay special attention to this fighter, this is the German Me-262, a brand new jet fighter, fast, flying high, and powerful firepower ——Its fatal weakness is that it does not carry enough ammunition, so try to deal with it as much as possible to lure it to shoot, but it is not easy to do this. Those who are qualified to fly Me-262 are all trump cards. "

Me-262 has been in service since last year, and hundreds of them have been produced so far, and basically all of them have been put on the Russian battlefield. It rarely appears on the English Channel, and most southern African pilots have never seen it.

"Is Erich Hartmann flying this kind of plane?" Sams was eager to try, and shooting down Erich Hartmann was the dream of all Allied pilots.

"No, Erich Hartmann is still driving the Me-109. This guy is now in Czechoslovakia and will not be in Calais." Qiao Sheng was slightly regretful, but also fortunate.

Even if Erich Hartmann's performance is watery, he is also very capable. If he appears in Calais, he will also be a huge threat to southern African pilots.

It's good in Czechoslovakia, let the Russian counterparts deal with that guy, Qiao Sheng hopes that the boys in the squadron can return home smoothly.

After the preparation meeting, the pilots set off quickly and headed straight for Calais.

The weather today is fine, the sun is shining, and there are no clouds in the sky. Twelve "Goshawks" form two formations, and the morale of the pilots is high.

"The area you are in is very safe, unless the German planes are hiding under the sea—" The warning voice of the early warning plane came from the earphones. Earlier this year, the Southern African Air Force installed radar on the plane and built the world's first early warning command plane. machine.

Due to the terrain limitation of the radar hand, the detection of the distance is limited, and it cannot provide more early warning for the fighter jets.

In order to expand the search area as much as possible, radars are generally installed on high mountains.

So engineers in southern Africa installed radar on the aircraft to expand the search area and provide early warning for fighter jets as much as possible.

However, the current radar also has limitations, because the radio waves are interfered by ground signals, and the search effect for low-altitude targets is not good.

Therefore, low-altitude targets have to be searched visually by pilots.

Even so, with the help of early warning aircraft, the chances of winning for the southern African pilots have been greatly improved. Even if the German Air Force attacks at low altitude, the southern African pilots have already occupied favorable terrain and are ready to launch an attack at any time.

The "Goshawks" passed at high speed over Calais, and Ruskin inadvertently glanced south, which was Saint-Roch in southern Africa.

Now St. Rocco is still under the control of the German army. The German army built a large number of fortifications in St. Rocco, with an armored division and an infantry division stationed there.

This is also the reason why the Allies chose Normandy as their landing site. The most elite troops of the German army are in Russia, and the sub-elite troops are in the German mainland. The troops stationed around Calais are third-line troops, and the defenders in Normandy are not popular.

It was just this glimpse that Ruskin suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a group of organic groups approaching at low altitude and high speed in the distance, and the sunlight shone on the metal wing, reflecting it clearly.

"There is an organic group approaching at three o'clock—" Ruskin warned in time, and it is still uncertain whether it is a German fighter plane.

This is the inconvenience brought about by joint operations. The Southern African Air Force, the British Air Force, and the U.S. Air Force are all self-contained systems that are not under the control of each other. There will be more or less problems in coordination, and sometimes misjudgments are inevitable.

"Pull up the height, seize a favorable position, and prepare for battle—" Qiao Sheng didn't dare to neglect, any slight mistake would have serious consequences.

Both sides were flying at high speed, and the distance was shortened rapidly. After almost two seconds, Qiao Sheng noticed the two jet engines under the opponent's wing.

Qiao Sheng was very impressed with the jet engine, and Qiao Sheng just showed the photos before departure.

"It's the German Me-262—" Qiao Sheng hadn't finished speaking, and the battle broke out instantly.

The speed of Me-262 is really fast, and the fastest speed of "Goshawk" reaches 750 kilometers per hour, which is almost the limit of piston fighters.

The fastest speed of Me-262 reaches 870 kilometers, which is much faster than the "Goshawk".

When the air battle broke out, the height of the Me-262 was lower than that of the "Goshawk", which was at a disadvantage.

However, the pilot of the Me-262 opened fire first, and a "Goshawk" was caught off guard, the wing was hit, and it fell to the ground with black smoke.

Me-262的火力还是很凶猛的，4门30毫米MK108机炮，每门备弹100发，2门30毫米MK108机炮，每门备弹80.
Those who are qualified to fly Me-262 are also ace pilots, and they are called flying experts. It takes only a moment for the masters to fight against each other. When a "Goshawk" was shot down by Me-262, Ruskin also seized the fleeting Opportunity to damage a Me-262.

"I'll attract his firepower, and Sam will find an opportunity to sneak attack—" Ruskin and Sams cooperated tacitly, and they shot down at least 10 German fighter planes in this way.

"No problem, leave it to me—" Sams pulled up the nose frantically, trying to attack the tail of the Me-262, and suddenly a string of shells with tracers flew past the porthole.

"Boss, I'm being targeted, save me—" Samus howled while operating frantically.

Ruskin had no time to save Samus, who was being chased by a Me-262 and had no time to escape.

The opponent's flying skills were very skilled, and Ruskin made a circle in the air, but still did not get rid of it.

At this time, Ruskin suddenly found that the Me-262 chasing Sams' plane happened to appear in front of him.

Ruskin was not polite, a series of machine guns fired over, and the opponent exploded in the air.

The attack power of "Goshawk" is also very fierce.

"Thank you, Boss—you are my angel—" Sams escaped with great luck.

The other "Goshawk" next to it was not so lucky. It was directly hit by the Me-262. The pilot successfully parachuted before the plane exploded, but he was not out of danger.

The air battle broke out suddenly and ended quickly.

There were only six Me-262s that attacked. Under the siege of 12 "Goshawks", two were shot down and two were damaged.

Two "Goshawks" were lost in southern Africa, one of which crashed on the sea on the way back, and the pilot was rescued by Allied warships.

"So, the Germans deployed their Me-262s in our San Rocco, so they escaped our previous bombing—" Qiao Sheng reported immediately after the squadron returned to the base.

After all, Sacred Rock is the territory of southern Africa, so in the previous bombing, the southern African pilots were merciful and did not carry out carpet bombing on Sacred Rock.

The airport certainly didn't miss it.

However, San Rocco's infrastructure is very good, and the Me-262 can take off smoothly even on the road.

"I'm not sure, the Germans are very cunning. We didn't find out that Saint Rocco had German fighter planes before." Qiao Sheng said honestly that this was not the fault of the pilots.

"Well, we need to carry out a carpet bombing of St. Loch, completely eliminating the possibility of the Germans deploying fighter jets in St. Loch." Major General Field of the 4th Air Force marked it on the map, and he was still very satisfied with the pilots.

"The Germans dispatched jet fighters, and their performance has surpassed that of our 'Goshawk'." Qiao Sheng did not hide his disappointment.

Since the German Me-262 appeared on the battlefield, the southern African military has repeatedly reported that its own jet aircraft will also be deployed, but there has been no movement so far.

The reason why the Southern African Air Force is famous is that the pilots' rich experience and excellent technology are important, and the performance advantages of the aircraft cannot be ignored.

Since the aircraft appeared on the battlefield, fighter jets in southern Africa have outperformed their opponents' aircraft.

For the first time ever, a Southern African aircraft lags behind its rivals.

Although for the pilots in southern Africa, they will not feel fear because of this, but the combat losses caused by the backward performance of the aircraft still make the pilots feel anxious.

"Major, this is not something you should be concerned about." Major General Field had a serious expression. In fact, the jet plane already exists, but it will take some time before it is put into combat.

The opponents of the Southern African Air Force are not only the Germans, the British and the Americans are also potential competitors.

The Americans have stolen a lot of technology from southern Africa since the war broke out, so there is debate within the southern African militaries about when the jets will be operational.
