"Hurry, my dear plane, fly up, fly up!"

"Fly higher, fly higher, you can do it!"

On the blue sky and white clouds of nearly 10,000 meters above the Roman city, Hessman's baby son Rudolph was muttering to cheer up his beloved Fokker Zero.

This Folk Zero, which is more flexible than a bird, is now like an obese hen, panting, shaking his wings, and running up desperately. Of course, this is not because the plane broke, but because Little Hessman flew a little high today. The Folk Zero he was driving has now climbed to a height of 10,000 meters!

Such a height is almost the limit for Folk Zero. Although it can barely climb up, it is difficult to fly and cannot increase the speed, let alone maneuverability.

Originally, the Folk Zero is an aircraft that focuses on medium and low altitudes. The engine it is equipped with can perform the best performance at an altitude of 4,200 meters. The performance will be greatly reduced above 6,000 meters, not to mention flying to 10,000 meters.

However, there was a special situation today, and it would be impossible not to fly that high. Because about 20 British bombers were breaking into Rome's air defense fire circle from a height of 10,000 meters!

In order to fight in the Eastern Mediterranean, high-performance fighters from Germany and Italy were deployed to Sicily and Benghazi. Only the two carrier-based aircraft brigades of the German Navy Air Force were left in the port of Taranto to wait for the new aircraft to be received. On the 15th, when the British 17 flew, the two carrier-based aircraft brigades had just been equipped with new aircraft.

Now the 12 Folk Zeros driven by Hessman and his men were transported from the joint factory in Riga. The latest model of Folk Zero 1 Folk Zero is different from the improved models of Japan Zero.

This model of Folk Zero engine is equipped with a supercharger and a 50 system. The system injects 1:1 mixed water methanol to increase the engine power in a short time. This improvement is actually to allow Folk Zero to compete with the "Spraying Fire" aircraft at mid-to-high altitude without the 109 cooperation.

However, the "Spraying Fire" plane had not yet encountered it, but it caught Churchill's 17 heavy bomber.

"Lieutenant, I found them! At 10 o'clock, 800 meters below!" Prince Egmon Lip Wiesenfield's voice came from his headphones. "There are 17, no, 18 four-engine heavy bombers, with very dense formations and flying southeastward."

Little Hessman looked down and found that 18 17 bombers were flying over at an altitude of about 9,200 meters below, which were swaying and swaggering. Little Hessman knew that these heavy bombers often had very powerful self-defense firepower, and the scattering of dense formations was to cover each other. Once their cannons fired at the same time, they would woven into dense fire nets in the air, and the small body of the Folk Zero could not resist the attack. Moreover, the fuselage of this type of aircraft was usually extremely strong, and it would be difficult to cause a fatal blow to it with the Folk Zero 7.92 machine gun.

So the only correct tactic is to use high speed to approach the opponent, then use 20 cannons to bombard them, and immediately leave after all the ammunition is completely destroyed.

Such a tactic would not be possible if he used the Folk Zero model that Hessman had driven before, but the aircraft he is now flying can "pull" the engine.

"Twin aircraft formation, dive attack, start to increase force!" Little Hessman issued an offensive order through the onboard radio, "Remember, we only have 10 minutes!"

Using a 50 system to spray water and ethanol to the engine can increase power in a short time, but doing so is harmful to the engine itself, so it can only maintain the afterburner effect for 10 minutes.

However, when fighting with one's life, 10 minutes is enough to be fatal!

"Enemy plane! Enemy plane! It's Folk Zero!"

"Machine Cannon! Machine Cannon Preparation"

"Oh God! The cannon is frozen! The cannon cannot fire!"

"What?"

When Little Hessman and his team started the attack in the drugged Fokker Zero, the 17 bombers were in chaos.

The 90th Bomber Squadron of the United Kingdom was operated by British bombers. This squadron was a British bomber force. It had often used the "Wellington" bomber to harass Germany by night attacks. It also bombed Dunkirk, Calais, Lehl Harvard and Brest on the English Channel and the Atlantic coast during the day, and had rich combat experience.

However, the "Willington" bomber they used before was only active in the air and would not fly to an altitude of more than 9,000 meters. Therefore, they had no experience in high-altitude bombing, and they were familiar with the performance of the aircraft for too short time. So they forgot to add enough antifreeze to the machine guns on the aircraft. As a result, after flying at an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters for several hours, the machine guns on the aircraft were frozen and unable to be used!

"Damn it!" Major Simpson, the squadron leader of the 90th Bomber Squadron, cursed secretly, was the promised Folk Zero a medium and low altitude aircraft? Why did it go to high altitude and it seemed to fly quite fast! But at this time, the machine gun on the bomber could not be used, so what else can I do?

"Where have we been?" Major Simpson hurriedly asked the navigator beside him.

"Rome, we're in Rome!" the navigator replied, "You can cross the Tiber River after flying for a while. You can drop bombs after crossing the river according to the plan. We have to fly across the Tiber River."

The reason for such an arrangement was that Churchill did not want to throw the bomb onto the land of the Vatican city-state on the west bank of the Tiber River. Because the current Pope Pius XII was cold to the Nazis and fascist regimes, and expressed friendship with Britain and the United States. If he was killed, Mussolini would probably take the opportunity to support a pro-fascist pope.

Just as Major Simpson's navigator spoke, the Folk Zero attack had already begun. The two 17s at the edge of the dense bombing formation composed of 17s were first bombarded by four Folk Zero guns. The 20's shells were hit like raindrops, and soon the two planes were sieved into sieves. One of the wings was discounted and fell head-on. The other was fired and struggling in the sky with thick smoke.

Major Simpson heard the screams of two crew members of the 17 hit from the headset, and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Don't wait, throw the bomb now, and then stretch the height immediately!"

The 17 type can fly more than 11,000 meters, but the prerequisite for flying so high is to throw away the bomb and reduce the weight. So at the critical moment of life and death, Major Simpson can't control the pope anymore. Anyway, God will bless him, so he should not be able to kill him.

The Pope has God's blessing and is not afraid of bombing. Although the Italian leader Mussolini does not have God's blessing, he is not afraid of bombings either.

17 When he visited Rome, Mussolini was in the Venetian Palace to talk to Kuznetsov, the head of the Soviet Military Observatory. He was boasting about how powerful the Italian air force was and how it could blow the British battleships and aircraft carriers to death, the air defense alarm was remembered. Then the Italian Air Force Chief of Staff Pricolo called to report that 1,020 heavy bombers were invaded from high altitudes.

However, Mussolini did not drill into the air raid shelter, but confidently invited the Soviet Navy People's Commissar to go to the balcony of the Venice Palace with him to appreciate how the Italian Air Force shot down British planes.

Of course, the Italian Air Force would not ignore Rome's air defense. Not only did it arrange many anti-aircraft gun positions in the city of Rome, but it also deployed 20 fighter squadrons on airports around Rome. But those fighters are mostly biplane and do not have closed cabins. 42 and poor performance. 50. In theory, although they can fly more than 10,000 meters. However, these aircraft do not have 50 systems to take drugs, and they can't fight at all if they can fly tens of thousands of meters.

Therefore, there are many Italian planes flying in the sky now, but the one who is really launching an attack is the 12 Folk Zero from the Little Hessman Squadron.

So Mussolini did not see the imagined scene of the Italian Air Force annihilated the invading enemy. When two enemy planes were just seeing the bomb falling down with black smoke!

Mussolini stood on the balcony of the Venetian Palace not far from the Tiber River, and could clearly see huge fireballs and smoke columns rising up near the Vatican city-states and Castle of Sant'Angelo.

Apart from the two shot down 17s, the ones that are now dropping bombs are 16 17 bombs, each 17 carries more than 1.8 tons of bombs, totaling nearly 30 tons of bombs. Although it is not a big number, it is still very lethal to throw them in the center of Rome, which is densely populated and ancient buildings.

The Italian leader shouted, "God, are they bombing the Vatican? What do the British want to do? Is there any God in their hearts?"

At this time, the Italian Foreign Minister Earl Ziano also rushed to the balcony and pulled his father-in-law and said, "Leader, this is dangerous. You can go to the basement first to hide."
