Chapter 641 F1718 vs. Fokker E3
Chapter 641 f17\18 vs. Fokker e3
"Hey, these shameless old guys really sold me!"
The Monrovian Fortress, General Schlidian, who was in charge of the reconstruction work, suddenly received an emergency telegram from the Berlin Base Camp. After learning that the negotiations between the German Empire and the Chinese Empire were over, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, the German Empire had legally transferred German Southwest Africa to the Chinese Empire as compensation for the Chinese Empire.
As a result, the German Empire had lost its rule over German Southwest Africa legally. However, in order to gain valuable strategic breathing time, the Berlin Base Camp must restrain the military power and strategic focus of the Chinese Empire as much as possible on the issue of German Southwest Africa. Therefore, Schlifen could only take on the title of treason and stayed alone in German Southwest Africa, leading the German soldiers here to fight and delay the time when the Chinese Imperial Army occupied German Southwest Africa.
The feeling of being sold by someone made Shi Libin very uncomfortable, but he was originally a man who took care of everyone's family, so he finally chose to accept it.
"I passed on my order that the Imperial Army of China is about to launch an aggressive war against our Liberia. Everyone should prepare for the first level of combat and complete their respective fortifications as soon as possible. Notify the patrol battalion to strengthen patrol and alert. Once an enemy invades is found, be sure to warn in time."
Governor Perot and Tirpitz were ordered to see Schlifen, and they also received news, even earlier than Schlifen knew.
"Tirpitz, take the fleet!"
Schlie said straight to the point. He did not think that the dozen warships Tirpits currently brought were capable of fighting with the African special fleet of the Imperial Navy. After learning that the German Empire's High Seas Fleet could not be involved in the African battlefield, Schliefen felt that Tirpits had no effect and might as well leave hope for the German Empire's Navy. After all, Tirpits was still the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Empire.
"I will decisively conquer your order. I am determined to lead this fleet to the end. Even if the warship is sunk, let the navy soldiers go ashore and be an army artillery can kill the enemy."
Tirpitz's firm answer immediately shocked Schrifon and Governor Perot next to him.
Everyone knows that staying is basically a dead end, because since the German Empire legally transferred German Southwest Africa to the Chinese Empire, it is impossible for the German Empire to go to war with the Chinese Empire in a full-scale manner, and it is even more impossible to send reinforcements to help, at least in name, it is impossible to do that, not to give the Chinese Empire an excuse to get angry.
However, what Schrifen and Governor Perot said they didn't know was that Tirpitz was also cursing Hitler in his heart at this moment.
Because it’s not that Tirpitz doesn’t want to leave, but that he can’t leave because he has a special mission.
If it weren't for the special mission given to him by Hitler, Tirpitz would not even want to stay in this damn Monrovia for even a second. Last time two super battleships of the Chinese Empire broke into Monrovia Bay and fought against Tirpitz's fleet. Tirpitz was blown away and fell into the sea, drank dozens of kilograms of sea water, and almost died there. This left a psychological shadow on Tirpitz and made him still have nightmares.
Schrifen stared at Tirpitz for a long time, but couldn't see anything from the other party's eyes.
Of course, how could Tirpitz, who is like a fox, let Shilifen see the flaw at this time!
Schrifen nodded and said, "Very good! Tirpitz, I underestimated you! I apologize for my previous prejudice against you!"
Tirpitz responded seriously: "For Germany!"
"For Germany!"
Governor Perot also shouted, but when he saw Schlifen's murderous eyes, he was immediately scared and trembled.
Fortunately, although Schlifen was unhappy with Governor Perot, the war was imminent. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he did not intend to deal with the other party.
"I'm asking you two to come here, I want to ask, seeing that the Chinese Empire will invade us in a large scale, do you have any good countermeasures?"
Since Tirpitz did not leave, Schlifen did not force the other party and directly began to discuss countermeasures.
Tirpitz then said: "I still have the previous suggestions. I suggest you give up the Monrovia Fortress and shrink your troops inland. Relying on the dense forest areas and mountainous terrain inland, you will have a long-term confrontation with the Imperial Army."
Schrifen frowned. He and Tirpitz had a conflict more than once about this debate, and had different views.
"Our colonial strongholds are all along the coast and near several big rivers. If we give up, we will lose our population and food supplies. Do you let our hundreds of thousands of German troops fight rabbits and eat wild vegetables in the mountains?"
After hearing Schlifen's words, before Tirpitz's answer was answered, Governor Perot next to him laughed and said, "That's also very delicious, and most people can't eat it!"
However, Perot's joke was not funny at all. Soon, Schrifen and Tirpitz glared together.
"You guys keep going, I'll go out on patrol!"
Governor Perot felt that it was a bit unlucky, so he took the initiative to patrol.
Schlie knew Perot's level very well. Even though he was a little bit old when he was young, it was all the experience of the old emperor and worked during the War of Unification of the German Empire. But now he is too backward in the war with the Chinese Empire.
Seeing Perot leave, Tirpitz said: "General, if I were you, don't defend the coastline to the death, because it will face a full-scale artillery attack from the Imperial Army, Navy and Air Force. You have also seen that the two super battleships of the Imperial Navy alone have already made our Monrovia Fortress suffer. If the Imperial Army, Navy and Air Force attacked Monrovia at the same time, the heavy army group you deployed here will be torn to pieces by the powerful firepower of the Imperial Army, Navy and Air Force. Perhaps we will be wiped out in a few days. If you withdraw the heavy army into the mountains, then we will at least not have to face the powerful firepower attack of the Imperial Navy."
Shi Lifen was very confused. He had thought about the joint attack of the three armed, navy and air force of the Chinese Empire. The two super battleships of the Chinese Empire Navy still made him feel scared. If the war day comes, with hundreds of warships and thousands of fighter jets in the air, and under the fierce attack of more than 100,000 Chinese Empire Army artillery fire, even Shi Lifen himself could not guarantee whether he could defend it.
"If I evacuate the main force from the coastline, what should I do if the fleet you brought?"
Tirpitz smiled slightly and said, "Those warships have their mission. On the day of war, I will give the Chinese Empire a memorable gift."
Shilifen asked back, "What gift?"
Tirpitz smiled mysteriously and shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, I can't disclose it to you now!"
Schlifen was very unhappy. As an old fox, he immediately guessed that Tirpitz was deliberately staying, probably not out of his own wishes, but should have been secretly commanded by Hitler or higher-level officials.
"You'd better not cause me uncontrollable trouble!"
Hearing Schrifen's warning, Tirpitz was just laughing and did not respond.
"Report, Coast Patrol Report, the Imperial Chinese Navy set out from Port Roberts, targeting our Monrovia Bay, with thousands of warships."
"Reported, the large-scale mobilization of the Chinese Imperial Army was found across the Bomi River, and it seems that it is going to launch a large-scale attack!"
"Reported, the air reconnaissance plane found a large number of Imperial Chinese Air Force fighters flying towards Monrovia. The number was unknown, but at least 500!"
A series of reports made Shi Lifen nervous in an instant. He never expected that the Chinese Imperial Army would organize an attack so quickly.
"Order all fighters to take off immediately!"
"Order the Duberman Fort Air Wing to come quickly to reinforce!"
Shilifen stood up directly, and realized that the first battle was probably not a bay, but a threat from the air.
At this moment, in the entire German Southwest African colony, there were 1,000 German Fokker e3 fighters, deployed in Monrovia, Duberman Fort and Banga, among which Banga was deep inland and in the rear, with about 200 fighters; while Monrovia faced the sea and deployed 300 fighters, and Duberman Fort faced the Bomi River, focusing on defending the Imperial Chinese Army, which was regarded as the main battlefield, so 500 fighters were deployed.
Whether the attack of the Imperial Chinese Air Force is related to the subsequent ownership of air supremacy, Shi Libin dared not be careless.
"I don't know where the main attack direction of the Chinese Imperial Army this time is. What do you think?"
Seeing Schlifen ask, Tirpitz thought for a while and said, "According to the previous tactical ideas of the Shen Ce Army of the Chinese Empire, their main attack direction should be at sea and heading straight for Monrovia. After all, our main force is also in Monrovia, and a large amount of war resources are also here. The Chinese Empire will not want to fight a protracted war with us, so it will be impatient to destroy our main force."
Schrifen nodded, agreed with Tirpitz's point of view, and immediately ordered all the troops around Monrovia to be deployed to enter the position to prevent the Imperial Chinese Navy from landing on the beach.
At the same time, Schlifen also ordered the direction of Fort Duberman to be vigilant and strictly prevent the Chinese Imperial Army from forcing a crossing and attacking on the other side of the Bomi River.
An hour later, about 600 fighters from the Imperial Chinese Air Force flew over Monrovia, including 400 F17 fighters from the Air Force, and the other 200 were F18 carrier-based fighters, eight aircraft carriers from the Imperial Chinese Navy.
At this moment, nearly 600 German Folk E3 fighters also took off over Monrovia, including the German Monrovia Air Force and the German fighter jets that rushed to reinforce from the Duberman Fort.
This is the largest air war that has broken out so far between the Chinese Empire and the German Empire. It is also the first time that the air forces of the two countries have tested each other's strength, including testing the combat performance of the fighter jets of the two countries and testing the training quality of the fighter pilots of the two countries.
Whether it is a German Imperial Air Force pilot or an Imperial Chinese Air Force pilot, they are all well-trained and excellent pilots, and they are even pilots with practical experience. The pilots can be traced back to the ace air combat pilots during the World War.
It can be said that both the Chinese Empire and the German Empire are actually very demanding. In this round of air battles, they sent out the most elite pilots and the most advanced fighter jets of their country to become powerful.
The total number of fighter jets on both sides is basically the same, and the performance of the fighter jet and the pilot's technology.
However, in terms of fighter performance, due to the lack of funds and technology in the German Empire, the Fokker e3 fighter lags behind the Imperial Air Force's f17\18 fighter in performance.
The difference between the two is reflected in the speed of the f17\18 fighter jet has exceeded 220 kilometers per hour, while the maximum flat flight speed of the Folk e3 is only 180 kilometers per hour, which is a difference of 40 kilometers per hour. If converted into seconds, it is eleven meters per second.
What is the concept of this eleven meters?
That is to say, when the technical levels of the pilots on both sides are the same, and they lock the opponent's fighter jets at the same time, if the Chinese army pilots do not need to calculate the flight advance amount of the enemy aircraft when firing, then the German pilots need to count the opponent's fighter jets in advance, and this advance amount is eleven meters away.
To put it in a common metaphor, the fast-speed Chinese Empire fighter is fighting a fixed target, while the slow-speed German Empire fighter is fighting a moving target with a moving distance of 11 meters per second.
This is the shooting advantage of a fighter when it is fast. Without considering the pilot's technical ability, it is obvious that the German Folk E3 suffered a great loss in speed.
In terms of firepower, the f17\18 fighter is equipped with two 12.7mm heavy machine guns, which are equipped with 1,200 rounds of ammunition, while the Fokker e3 fighter is only equipped with one 12.7mm heavy machine gun, which is equipped with 2,000 rounds of ammunition.
In theory, although the firepower of the German Fokker e3 fighter is weaker, it is more lasting. A heavy machine gun fires 2,000 bullets, which takes a long time to shoot. The F17\18 fighter of the Imperial Air Force has two heavy machine guns that fire at the same time, and the firepower is fierce. Compared with a heavy machine gun, two heavy machine guns are easier and have a greater chance of hitting the enemy plane and shooting it down.
However, in actual combat, the competition between fighters is mostly a confrontation of flight technology. The time for locking enemy aircraft and firing is very short. Only a few seconds will determine the outcome. Therefore, the f17\18 fighter with fierce firepower has an advantage over the Folk e3.
If you have to be serious about the German Fokker e3 fighter jets that have sufficient ammunition and can fight for a long time and have a greater advantage, then the pilots of the Chinese Empire f17\18 fighter jets can completely run away after they have all their bullets. What can you do to me if you have more bullets left?
This is the tactics specially formulated for the f17\18 fighter jets by the Chinese Empire when it comes to targeting the German Fokker e3 fighter jets, which have undergone rigorous theoretical tests.
Now above Monrovia, the Imperial Chinese Air Force has fully demonstrated this tactic.
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da!
The dense heavy machine gun shooting sounds in the air are endless. The Chinese Imperial Air Force pilots constantly shot down the German Fokker e3 fighter jets with the speed and firepower advantages of the f17\18 fighter jets.
