The latest chapter of the infinite military base, Volume II: My Country Five and Five Seven. Marseille, Astronomy

The air war hero Wang Weizhen said is Hans Joachim Marseille!

This newly-launched and brightest air war hero of the German Air Force may never think of anything to be associated with the famous Marshal Ernst. Breem.

What he didn’t even think about was that Marshal Ernst .Breem actually saved his life.

Sometimes, secrets are still preserved forever. Marshal Ernst .Breem will not let him know what happened.

His only requirement for Marseille is to constantly break the record created by Marseille himself:

Constantly shot down one enemy aircraft after another!

Hans Joachim Marseille, this is a legendary character

In the spring of 1941, the warrior pilot Marseille moved to Africa with the first brigade of the 27th Fighting Air Corps.

Marseille took the Italian army truck for a long time and felt really slow. Later he ran to the airport next to the road and asked if the plane from Benghazi to Delna landed here, but no one knew. Finally, he found a general responsible for logistics supplies on the way through the logistics supply vehicle. He tried to explain to the general that he was a commander of four units. In any case, he had to rush to the front line tomorrow and begged to send him a car. Perhaps the general saw Marseille so hot and remembered his youth. He was moved by the ardent demands of this young officer, so he sent his “Admiral Opel” high-speed car to him to return to the front. . This incident surprised the officers of the Logistics Command and looked at each other.

When he left, the general said to him: “So, thank you for shooting down 50 enemy planes. How, boy?”

“Follow, sir.” Marseille replied in a serious manner.

The car ran for a whole night. The next day, Marseille sat proudly on the high-speed car with the general flag and arrived at Ghazala airport. The squadron leader Gerhard Holt was surprised to see him. It turned out that the squadron stopped at Benghazi airport for a night and flew here just two hours ago. Marseille “walked” for 800 kilometers at about the same speed as the Me109 aircraft, but it was not slow!

There are many stories like this “Marseille style”. At the time of passing Delna, the “Admiral Opel” car must be refueled here, and Marchiou used this space to get a salary. When the accountant was about to record the matter in his military manual, Marseille launched a fire:

“The page can’t be scribbled, it must be empty!” The original page was used for recording warfare, and the above words have been recorded on the first-class iron cross.

The accountant asked: “Do you still want to remember the merits of one or more?”

“Of course!” Marseille replied. As a result, the accountant left ample space on the empty page. He sneered and said: “Is this big enough? Even the sword of the Knights of the Knights and the Knights will be remembered!”

The 21-year-old John Marseille claimed to be “the oldest commander of the Air Force.” He had long since been promoted to be a lieutenant, but because of his poor appraisal, he has been jailed until now. During the training, he was proud and often argued with others and violated the rules of flight. The commander was very impressed with him. Therefore, a strange comment was written on Marseille’s identification form: “As a pilot, the conduct is not good.” This comment has been kept in the archives of Marseille. Therefore, no matter how brave Marseille is on the battlefield, no matter what record he achieved in the British-French Air War, even if he later changed his new boss, he would never be trusted.

He is determined to use his actual actions in Africa to prove that he is a good fighter pilot. In the new battlefield of Tobruk, the third squadron of the 27th Fighting Air Corps recorded his first record. It seems that this is a good start. However, Marseille is not satisfied with this, he always wants to touch the luck of chaos. So he often rushed into the middle of the British Air Force’s fleet and flew back to the airport with a bruised plane.

Marseille is really incredibly lucky. Once he occasionally bowed, a machine gun bullet of the Hurricane plane just broke through his flying cap, but he was not injured at all.

After Tobruk’s air battle, he was forced to land in no man’s land, but he managed to find a German position. Another time, his engine was blown through, the oil mist was sprayed on the front windshield, and nothing could be seen. In that case he flew back to the base. But after all, I can’t do this for a long time, so Captain Norman, the captain of the captain, called him to reprimand him.

“The reason why you are still alive, to say that you are smart, is that you have made good luck. You can’t go on like this! Don’t overestimate fate and the plane.”

Captain Norman secretly felt that this young pilot had an invaluable fighting spirit and strength. There is still a lack of exercise. Norman is clearly aware of his responsibility as an educator and cannot take away the courage of him. However, courage must be combined with discreet style and self-denial. Norman encouraged him to say:

“You can be a good pilot. But it takes time and experience. In short, if you do as you have done in the past, time will be ruined.”

Marseille admits the mistake and is determined to correct it. But he just refused to change his attack method. He has long hated the tactics that he learned in the aviation school and only attacked from the top of the enemy plane. He is thinking about how to master his beloved aircraft so that he can accurately shoot enemy aircraft from any position, that is, not only in a straight flight, but also in maneuvers such as hovering, climbing and rolling.

This skill is only available to a very small number of people, and most people shoot a lot of errors in that position. Marseille has a special inspiration for time and space. After a rigorous training of himself, he produced a keen sense of superhuman. Whenever the third squadron team returned, he always asked to allow him to fly alone. When allowed, Marseille drove his beloved plane around his comrades, practicing the methods of shooting from various angles in various states over and over again.

It took a long time for Marseille to master this tactic, and it took a whole summer in 1941. On September 24, he first built Qigong and shot down five enemy planes in one fell swoop. In the morning, a Martin-Maliland aircraft was shot down. In the afternoon, between the mountains of Halfa and Sidi Barani, after a half-hour battle, four hurricane fighters were killed.

At this time, Marseille has been promoted to a second lieutenant. He led his four crews into the enemy aircraft formation repeatedly, attacking from different angles, and finally rushed to the enemy’s circular defense. Marseille bit the enemy’s last plane and killed it over Sidi Barani. This is the result of his shooting down the 23rd enemy plane.

“Is it almost understood?” On this night, Marseille revealed his secret to his comrade, Hans Arnoldt, the ensign of Schutler Schmidt.

Soon, the rain fell and the base of the fighter plane was flooded with water. Later, the British army launched a strong autumn offensive. The Rommel Army was forced to return to the attacking position.

However, Marseille is still flying and fighting. On February 24, 1942, he won the Knight’s Cross for shooting down forty-eight enemy planes. In April of the same year, he was promoted to Lieutenant, and in early June he was promoted to the third squadron captain. At the same time, Captain Holmett took over as the captain of the first brigade. Major Norman was promoted to the large-scale offensive of Rommel and he was promoted to the head of the 21st Fighting Air Corps of the African Front.

By this time, John Marseille began to become a “star” shining above the African continent. Among the “desert foxes” of Germany and Italy, Marseille’s “Yellow 14” aircraft has the same legendary reputation as Rommel’s command armored vehicles.

In the Ghazal air battle on June 3, 1942, Marseille took six of the South African fifth squadron’s Curtis and Tomahawk aircraft in just 11 minutes. These South African aircraft attempted to destroy the Ju87-type aircraft formation of the third dive-bombing air regiment at the front of the desert fortress, Bill Hakam. Although the German bomb hit the target, the southern pillar of the British Ghazala front, Bill Hakkam still stands. The French soldiers used the wide minefield as a barrier, clinging to the cleverly deployed positions, trenches and more than 1,200 important strongholds equipped with anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft guns.

In Rommel’s view, the entire combat plan will be bankrupt without first taking Bill Harkham. To this end, he instructed the “Commander of the African Air Force” Lieutenant General Hoffmann von Valdo to increase the intensity of continuous dive bombing.

The enemy is also aware that the situation is serious. British Air Force Major General Cunningham transferred the British “Western Desert Air Force” fighters, fighter-bombers and bomber squadrons to deal with the German team in the air and ground.

Lieutenant Colonel Zigger’s third dive bombing air group suffered huge losses. As a result of the attack on Bill Hakam, 14 Ju87 aircraft were lost in a week. To make matters worse, although the Air Force was bombed by the plane, the ground force’s attack could not keep up, which made the Air Force’s painstaking efforts useless.

The commanders of Rommel forces urged him to step up the offensive, but Rommel insisted on refusing to invest more troops in this desert fortress. General von Valda, who was disappointed with Rommel, reported to Kaiserlin that because of the poor coordination between land and air, dive bombing is not only meaningless, but can only make unnecessary sacrifices.

Kaiserlin immediately flew to the station of Rommel, and said to Rommel: “This will not work!” In a few days, Rommel transferred the first three or five artillery regiments commanded by Colonel Folz to Birkham. At the forefront, this group has been blocking the fierce attack of British armored forces in recent days. Still, it does not help. Therefore, he pulled back several main forces from the northern line into this “nasty desert cave”, and it worked.

On June 9th, two weeks after the German and Italian coalition forces launched an offensive, the dive bomber attacked Bill Hakam again, destroying the important artillery positions two kilometers north of the fortress. On the evening of the same day, von Valda reported to Rommel: “To date, 1,900 aircraft have been put into support for ground forces in Bill Huckham.” The next day, June 10, He ordered all the planes to be dispatched three times. Kaiserlin also transferred several Ju88 brigades from the first flight training group from Greece and Crete to support the African front.

The fog on the battlefield was filled with dust and dust. The pilots were unable to identify the enemy and the enemy, and the first attack wave was forced to be interrupted. At noon and afternoon, the dive bomber was dispatched again, divided into twelve attack waves, and two hundred aircraft were dispatched. Among them, there are one hundred and twenty Ju87 aircraft and seventy Ju86 aircraft.

The German bombs were very accurate. One hundred and forty tons of bombs fell on the positions of brave French soldiers. The engineers and infantry rushed into the enemy’s position by the smoke screen after the bomb exploded.

On June 10th, 168 Messerschmitt aircraft greeted British fighters. This is the first time in the African battlefield to engage with Spitfire fighters. In the battle, Marseille Lieutenant shot down four Spitfire fighters. This is the 78th to 81st enemy planes that Marseille shot down.

Bill Huckham’s temperament has been exhausted. On the 10th night, General Kenig led a part of the garrison, and opened a bloody road to retreat back to the British front. On the early morning of June 11, the desert fortress raised a white flag.

Rommel finally ruled out the worries. (To be continued. Please search h astrolog W, the novel is better to update faster!)
