() The sudden attack by the Allies caused a heavy blow to the rocket interceptor aircraft of the SS Air Force before they even took off. 48 launching devices were reduced to ashes along with 48 rocket interceptor aircraft. This was not

The most irreparable loss. In the big explosion caused by the air raid, the Germans also lost almost 48 ground support units. This loss really made the Germans feel sad.

Unlike pilots who are completely regarded as disposable cannon fodder, the ground staff of the SS Air Force rocket interceptor unit are truly priceless. Since the maintenance and take-off preparation of this aircraft are extremely complex and dangerous, the ground staff who maintain it must

They are all the best in this field. All the staff in this ground team have a bachelor's degree in science and engineering. Among the 48 teams lost, all captains have long-term experience in chemical industry and mechanical maintenance, including

The 11 captains also have master's degrees. Their number is the real bottleneck that limits the size of this army.

Such losses are irreparable. It will be difficult for the SS Air Force to organize a large-scale interception at the level of 100 aircraft for a long time to come.

However, the huge loss also put the commander of this team into a strange psychological state. Human psychology is very strange. For example, in gambling, when a person loses half a month's worth of money in gambling,

When his salary is paid, he will feel very distressed and will probably stop gambling immediately. But if he loses half of his family fortune in one fell swoop, he will probably pile up all the remaining capital without hesitation.

.

Colonel Thomas was in such a state, so he gave the order for all remaining interceptors to take off.

However, it is unfair to say that Thomas is completely confused. From the well-organized raid on the launch base, it can be easily seen that the enemy has the intelligence of his own unit. But judging from the number of attack aircraft sent by the enemy

Look, the enemy has obviously underestimated the number of interceptors they have. In this way, if an attack is launched at this time, the enemy will definitely be caught off guard?

In addition, he does still have the capital to gamble. He still has 52 aircraft, and his subordinates are different from those guys in the Air Force. Those guys in the Air Force are higher level and better trained, but when it comes to combat

Will, those guys who only care about their own transcripts cannot compare with the commando team in their hands that is composed entirely of volunteers.

But in the end, there were not as many fighters as 52 that took off. Although some aircraft or launchers were not destroyed in the raid just now, they were also damaged to a certain extent. In the end, only 35 BA349 rocket-powered interceptors

The machine can be fired.

Judging from past experience, once the BA349 rocket-powered interceptor is launched into the air, the enemy is basically powerless against it. Because it climbs so fast, the enemy's fighter jets simply cannot keep up.

Most Allied bombers operate at an altitude of 7,000 meters, and fighter jets are also at this altitude. The ba349 rocket-powered interceptor climbs to 10,000 meters at an astonishingly high climb rate in one breath, and then dives down until it is enough to launch an attack.

At high altitude, their speed had far exceeded that of the Allied escort fighter jets. By that time, the Allied fighter jets would be unable to intercept them.

Ruka is a cannon fodder pilot. Well, he knows this himself. In fact, every pilot who boarded the ba349 rocket-powered interceptor left a suicide note before boarding the plane. Ruka also wrote a

A suicide note. This suicide note was later broadcast on German radio, and was used to encourage the soldiers to fight for... In this public version of the suicide note, Rucka criticized the harm of the Jews to the empire and to mankind. And

The great righteousness declared that it is the obligation of every German to sacrifice for the country. Loyalty to the country and the head of state is my honor. Finally, he called on more German youths to stand up and sacrifice for the country.

However, according to information declassified after the war, the public version of the suicide note was completely tampered with by Goebbels. As for the original version, it has since been lost. According to insiders, the main content of the suicide note is actually only

The first thing is to tell his mother that if he dies, the family will receive some preferential policies, hoping that his mother can take advantage of this to support his two younger brothers.

But these are all things for later. Now Luka is sitting in the cockpit - more accurately, lying in the cockpit, waiting nervously to fire. Not far away from him, there is still a fire burning. From time to time, there is still fire.

There will be the sound of trees breaking in the flames.

Just when a large group of British bombers appeared in his field of vision, the order to launch was finally given. The engine behind the Ruka began to make a deafening roar (a pilot who lived until the war recalled

Said, if this thing flies a few more times, it will definitely become deaf), then Luka felt as if someone kicked it on the back, and the plane took off.

Luka was lucky, and the takeoff process went smoothly. Just to his right, there was another plane that took off slightly a tenth of a second earlier than him. Luka could clearly see the plane. When the plane just climbed

When it reached an altitude of 500-600 meters, Ruka discovered that a small flame also appeared on the left side of the aircraft's engine. The small flame was rapidly growing in size. Finally, when the aircraft climbed to an altitude of about 1,100 meters,

An explosion occurred. The entire plane exploded into a large fireball, and countless debris was shot towards Luca's plane with flames.

The climbing BA349 rocket-powered interceptor is uncontrollable, but due to its amazing climbing rate, it is difficult for enemy fighters to intercept it. But at this time, facing the debris from the explosion of the friendly aircraft, Luka

I can only hope for luck.

However, Goddess of Luck did stand on Luca's side, grabbing the hem of her skirt. Luca escaped this almost fatal accident - several pieces of flaming debris passed by his plane, but there was no

Hit him.

In just a few dozen seconds, Ruka's BA349 rocket-powered interceptor aircraft had already surpassed the British bomber group in altitude.

Now, the aircraft's fuel has been exhausted, the climb rate of the ba349 rocket-powered interceptor began to decrease, and Ruka began to officially take over the aircraft. By this time, his altitude had reached 10,000 meters.

The plane began to tremble. Luka knew that the engine was about to run out of fuel. With the engine still having some thrust, he leveled the plane. Then he continued to glide downwards.

When using rockets to attack bomber groups, the most reasonable entry angle is from the side. Rockets fired from such an angle have the highest probability of hitting. Although they have not been practiced in practice, many recent ground drills still remind rookies

The requirement to move to the side before attacking was met.

Luka's ba349 rocket-powered interceptor accelerated its descent and began to turn.

At this moment, he suddenly saw that another ba349 rocket-powered interceptor aircraft in his two o'clock direction suddenly shook violently, then broke its wings and fell headlong. Then a strange-shaped aircraft flew past

And passed.

Unbeknownst to the Germans, a group of P-81 fighter jets had been staying above the bomber group, flying at an altitude of about 11,000 meters. The mission of these aircraft was to intercept the possible BA349 rocket-powered interceptor aircraft.

Back to one day ago, Ron was explaining his plan at the joint US-UK tactical meeting.

"...Destroying the enemy on the ground is the most economical way. But we must not completely place our hope on this. It is impossible for us to get as good intelligence support as today for every operation and to destroy the enemy on the ground.

In fact, this kind of enemy aircraft is very easy to conceal, and we cannot detect it in advance every time. Therefore, we must have the means to destroy the enemy openly and openly in the sky."

"Based on our last experience with this thing, especially their terrible climb rate, I deduced that this thing is probably rocket-powered to push this kind of aircraft to an altitude higher than the usual position of our bombers, and then

Dive to attack us. We all know that rocket engines have strong thrust, but consume fuel quickly. And it also needs to carry its own oxidizer. Therefore, I think the powered flight time of this aircraft must be pitiful. Considering that they carry

The weight of the ammunition, and taking into account the weight of other devices, a mathematician helped me estimate its climb altitude, which probably would not exceed 11,000 meters. When they climbed to this altitude, their aircraft had the lowest movement capabilities. We will

Arrange a group of fighter jets at this altitude and destroy them here."

Ron's view was supported by everyone. Although perhaps this time, relying on attacks and other means, the threat could be nipped in the bud. But in the final analysis, victory in the war still depends on upright strength.

In fact, if an army does not have the ability to compete with the enemy in an upright battle, it will not be possible to defeat the opponent through so-called strategies.

When Ron was a child, he read history and saw that during the First and Second Opium War, when "our Qing Dynasty" was defeated by thousands of enemy troops, he often had a question, that is, why did we fight against the foreign devils?

Don't you know how to use tactics? Just like in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", you first fake defeat, then lead the enemy into the encirclement, and then attack with fire and flood, and there are only a few thousand people. If there was Zhuge Liang at that time, he would still be able to deal with them.

Not a piece of cake?

But Ron has already understood that strategy is only useful when the strength is equal. Otherwise, it is purely a joke. For example, on the Korean battlefield, during the Second Battle, the Volunteer Army used a series of tactics to lure the enemy deep into the city, interspersed with encirclement

Strategies like this have also achieved considerable results. However, the Volunteer Army can fight such a battle. In addition to the role of "strategy", the combat effectiveness of the Volunteer Army itself is the foundation for victory. In this battle, the 113th Division of the Volunteer Army followed

Departing from Tokugawa, they detoured along the mountain path to Samso-ri, advancing more than 70 kilometers in 14 hours, cutting off the US 9th Army's retreat route from Gunyu-ri to Suncheon via Samso-ri, and relied on a light infantry division.

The strength of the troops violated the principle of "returning to the enemy without stopping" and blocked the two retreat routes of the mechanized force of the U.S. 9th Army. In the next four days, the enemy army, which had obvious advantages in both soldiers and equipment, was not allowed to cross.

A thunderous step. If the Volunteer Army does not have the combat power to withstand the enemy in a direct confrontation, and if a certain division of the Volunteer Army can be chased and beaten by a large group of Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers are beaten to death, it is better to surrender to the Japanese soldiers and become puppet troops.

For a team with a large number of people, if the enemy is lured deep in the second battle, it may directly lead to a rout. As for the encirclement and encirclement later, it will be even more ridiculous.
