Chapter 709： Empty page

Don’t you think it’s incredible that there are no British fighters to defend Alexandria in this one-hour air strike?

In fact, this is not surprising, because at the beginning of the port air raid, the air raids on the three airports in Alexandria were also proceeding simultaneously.

Among them, the Logeer Airport, where the two squadrons are newly stationed, has become the focus of air strikes. This airport is 7 kilometers away from Alexandria. The airport is mainly equipped with two squadrons of Spitfire. The two squadrons of Hurricanes form a fighter group, and there is a bomber group equipped with Blenheim bombers.

Nearly a hundred fighters were concentrated at Loger Airport, naturally because of its superior conditions. Logel Airport was first built during World War I, when it was nothing more than a dirt runway.

After the war, as the aircraft became more and more important, a high-quality runway was needed. Logeer Airport has been expanded to open two runways. At the same time, a modern large hangar and other supporting facilities have been built. After entering the 1930s, two concrete runways were added and the hangar was further expanded.

This makes it the most advanced airport in Alexandria.

Naturally, because of the outbreak of the war and the threat of Romania, the United Kingdom dispatched two squadrons of the latest Spitfire fighters to this airport. Together with the advanced hurricane, it became the area with the highest air force quality outside of the British mainland.

It's just that all this changed early this morning.

The pilot only woke up soon after dawn. They were eating breakfast and chatting. Suddenly, the harsh air defense alarm sounded, and all ground crews and pilots immediately ran out. The alarm sounded, there must be something wrong.

It's just that people are curious and people keep asking. "How is this going?"

The person asked could only shook his head blankly, indicating that he did not know.

But their answer will soon be revealed. They saw a few planes that they had never seen before appearing in front of everyone. Although they didn't recognize this plane, they would never forget the logo on the wings.

"That's a Romanian plane."

"How did these planes get to Alexander."

"Has the Romanian army landed?"

No one knows these questions, and the incoming fighters will not give answers.

Several HF201 fighter jets lowered their noses. The 20 mm caliber machine guns and 12.7 mm caliber machine guns of the HF201 fighter jets fired at the Hurricane fighter jets parked on the runway.

These are all fighters prepared in advance to deal with emergencies, and they still carry enough ammunition and fuel, so this time the strafe is very harmful to them. The strafing HF201 fighter also felt unsafe, and when it flew over it, it threw down its 60KG bomb. This kind of bombs that deal with small and medium-sized targets cannot be resisted by the fragile mechanical energy of airplanes, so a series of explosions have become inevitable. These hurricanes parked beside the runway were completely destroyed.

Faced with such a critical situation, the airport even more flustered. Many people are afraid of the firepower of the enemy plane and dare not step forward to start the plane.

Someone yelled anxiously. "How about our anti-aircraft guns, why didn't they open fire to drive away the enemy?"

As he was talking, the air defense position defending the airport opened fire. The 40mm and 20mm anti-aircraft guns are sweeping away at the enemy fighter jets that abused the airport. In these air defense positions that fired, the enemy's attention was immediately drawn.

Several bold pilots immediately prepared to board the plane and counterattack the enemy. It was just that they were destined to have no chance, because another fighter appeared in their eyes compared to the fact that they were attracted by fighters without air defense.

Someone knew it and recognized him immediately, "This is a Romanian dive bomber. It's not easy to run fast."

Because these dive bombers have already begun to enter the dive phase, their sharp auras are even more frightening.

Everyone staying in the room even desperately ran away. When the scream reached the end, a 500 kg bomb was thrown on the building, and the building was directly destroyed by the violent explosion.

Lieutenant Colonel Eric, the person in charge of the airport, who saw all this in the distance, flushed and his eyes filled with anger, took out his pistol and pulled the trigger at the dive bomber that caused all these atrocities in the distance.

"Ah, ah, ah! You criminals, all die to me!"

Lieutenant Colonel Eric, who emptied his magazine, vented his emotions. I was still in that building before, but because of something happened before, I came out early. After the air defense sirens sounded, I had to target air defense deployment.

The disaster of Lieutenant Colonel Eric was not over yet, and I saw another ten planes coming to Loger Airport. This makes the already pressured air defense positions even more difficult.

"boom!"

An HF201 fighter attacked from behind and destroyed a 40mm anti-aircraft gun position.

"boom!"

Another air defense position was destroyed.

There are too many enemy planes, so that the air defense position of the airport can't be taken care of, and this naturally gives the opponent a chance to destroy itself.

At this time, I have to praise the HF201 fighter jet. Its good low-altitude performance makes it even more powerful in attack, and it can easily respond to threats from air defense positions in many cases. (Don't be affected by movies and TV shows. It is not easy for air defense positions to shoot down planes.)

The air defense positions that were harassed by these HF201 fighter jets did not have time to take into account the bombing of the airport by bombers.

The dive bombers that lost the harassment immediately rushed to the oil depot, hangar, repair shop, etc., and all became the targets of bombing. This caused heavy losses to the airport. Nearly a hundred planes stationed there were all destroyed by this attack.

As a result, only 5 planes could be counted out and two of them were damaged.

When Logel Airport was attacked, the other two airports did not do well. How could the Romanian air strikes forget them, and the same two air strikes destroyed them.

It's just that unlike the attack on Logel Airport, Antara Airport and Colmada Airport had early warnings due to the attack, and several Gladiator fighters had already taken off.

This is but this kind of biplane developed in 1935 (I don't know what the British thought, it was developed in 1935). It was not a rival of Romania's Type Zero, and it was shot down without any effort.

In this way, the three airports in Alexandria were completely destroyed, and Romania allocated nearly a hundred fighters (46 HF201 fighters and 36 RU18T dive bombers) in order to solve these three airports.

The main reason is also to block the support from Cairo and Said and prepare for the next second air strike.
