Chapter 158： Operation Eagle Strike

Cyrek is not Stalin after all, and there is no one who has made it to the top of Moscow. However, Cyrek knows that no matter what Stalin sends over, he can't get a bargain on his side!

"It seems that we have to transfer more troops into Spain." Cyric said: "No matter how fierce the enemy is, we will have a firm belief, General Franco, please don't worry, we have the help of Germany. , You can definitely win the final victory!"

What Franco wants is this reply. Now, the He51 supported by Germany is just an old aircraft. Facing the weapons in the hands of the Spanish government, it can still gain some advantages. If you want to face the international column, it is very May face the risk of falling behind.

It is said that the Soviet Union will send thousands of pilots, and the Soviet Union will also get the most advanced Iraqi-15 and Iraq-16 aircraft!

Cyric’s attitude gave Franco a reassurance. Franco was quite satisfied with Cyric’s reply. If Germany gets their latest fighter, don’t worry. I heard that the German BF109 , Is a very advanced aircraft, even the imperial air force commander Goering is full of praise.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the runway, and the cockpit cover of the fighter plane shone with red light.

With Cyric's arrival, Franco once again mustered his confidence.

In front, is Badajoz! If you get through Badajoz, you can bring the north and south troops together, and then attack Madrid!

This fall in Spain is destined to be tragic!

A large number of planes were constantly shifting to the field base in Barcarota. After learning that the Soviets wanted to reinforce Spain, Cyric quickly ordered the air force to shift.

He51, also quickly reduced to the level of a bomber, all-metal skinned, closed cockpit BF109, secretly transferred to Spain.

Dongfang has just turned white, and the sky is dark.

The tarmac at the airport is full of fighter planes. After the fuel has been refilled, the plane can be started at any time. The pilot wearing a flight cap is looking at the commander in front of him with admiring eyes.

"This is the first large-scale operation of our Vulture Legion. We must show our aura!" Cyric told the pilots in front of him: "The Spanish sky belongs to our Vulture Legion. Others The air force is either destroyed by us in the air or destroyed by us on the ground! Now, I declare that Operation Eagle Strike has officially begun!"

Operation Eagle Strike, this is the first large-scale aerial operation planned by Cyric after entering Spain. The goal of this operation is to assist the Soviet Union to Spanish fighter planes, those that are nominally part of the international column. Destroy all!

Now, the focus of the two sides' contention is Badajoz, which is a transportation hub in southern Spain. The rebels in the north and the rebels in the south are trying to get through here, and the north and the south meet.

In the eastern part of Badajoz, Calzada, an air base was temporarily built. The pilots of the international column are flying, they can take off quickly and guard the sky over the city of Badajoz.

In this era, unlike later generations, there is an advanced satellite surveillance system. Cyric’s intelligence personnel analyzed the flight routes of the aircraft of the international column for five or six days, and finally fixed the other party’s airport in Kalsa. Dazhen, later, sent personnel to investigate, and it was finally confirmed.

That is the newly built base, with more than fifty fighters deployed in it, all of which are the latest Iraqi-15 and Iraq-16 fighters aided by the Soviet Union!

Therefore, Cyric led a group of staff to plan the eagle attack.

Let those Soviet pilots under the name of the international column know how powerful the Luftwaffe is!

Officially begin!

A famous pilot quickly ran back to his cockpit and started the engine with the help of the ground crew.

Hans-Urich-Rudel climbed into his cockpit. He plugged in his earphones and heard a voice from inside: "Stuka Squadron, take off first!"

Stuka! This is a dive bomber newly developed by Germany.

At the beginning, under Cyric’s proposal, a bomber-to-warship battle was carried out. In that exercise, the He51 that fell from the sky gave Hitler quite a strong shock, that is, from that time on, Hitler liked to dive. bombing.

At that time, Goring was also deeply touched, so a new model specializing in dive bombing was born, this is the JU-87, the model is commonly known as Stuka, which is based on the German writing of the dive bomber. The shorthand for "Sturzkampfflugzeug".

From the appearance, Stukana’s unique seagull-like double-curved wings is its most obvious feature. The fixed, sturdy and powerful landing gear, the unique howling, almost spread Ended the entire World War II.

And now, this model has just been finalized. Now only 20 have been delivered to the Air Force, and 6 of them have been sent to the Spanish battlefield.

This is a professional bomber! Prior to this, the Condor Corps used Ju-52 transport aircraft to perform bombing missions. This type of aircraft can only be used when it completely seizes air superiority!

With the addition of the international column and the support of the Soviet Union, this transport aircraft can no longer be on the battlefield. It is only right to return to his old position. Professional bombing must be handed over to professional bombers!

This is Hans’ first combat flight, and his glorious life has also begun.

In later generations, Hans had a lofty status in World War II. For example, he was the highest-ranking German in the war.

He even got a medal specially made for him to symbolize the highest honor of the German army, which is the Golden Oak Leaf Double Swords Diamond Knight's Cross. The establishment of this medal is largely driven by Rudel's record.

What record does Hans have?

He destroyed 519 tanks enough to form 5 complete Soviet armored brigades, 150 artillery positions, nearly 1,000 other vehicles, 70 landing ships, 2 La-3 fighter jets, 1 IL-2 attack aircraft, and sunk In the battleship "Mara", it also sank 2 other cruisers and 1 destroyer...

His record is unmatched. Of course, he has also been shot down 32 times and has a record of 2,530 sorties. What does this record mean? During his 6-year combat career, he averaged more than once a day, without vacations or rest!
