After all, Cialick was not Stalin and did not enter the top leaders of Moscow. However, what Cialick knew was that no matter what Stalin sent, he could not get a bargain from his side!

"It seems that we have to mobilize more troops into Spain." Cialick said: "No matter how fierce the enemy is, we will have firm beliefs. General Franco, please don't worry. With the help of our Germany, we will definitely win the final victory!"

This is what Franco wants. Now, the He51 supported by Germany is just an old aircraft. Facing the weapons in the hands of the current Spanish government, it can still gain some advantages. If you have to face the international column, you may face the risk of being backward.

It is said that the Soviet Union will send thousands of pilots here, and the Soviet Union will also bring the most advanced I-15 and I-16 aircraft!

Cyric's attitude gave Franco a reassurance. Franco was quite satisfied with Cyric's reply. If Germany also brought their latest fighter plane, there was no need to worry. I heard that Germany's BF109 is a very advanced aircraft, and even the Imperial Air Force Commander Gorene praised it.

The afterglow of the sunset shines on the runway, and the canopy of the fighter planes flashes with red light.

With Cyric's arrival, Franco once again plucked up confidence.

In front is Badajos! Once Badajos is opened, you can penetrate the armies of the north and south together, and then attack Madrid!

This autumn in Spain is destined to be tragic!

A large number of planes continued to transfer to the field base of Bacarota. After learning that the Soviets were going to reinforce Spain, Cirick quickly ordered the Air Force to transfer.

He51 soon fell to the level of a bomber, with all metal skins and closed cockpits, secretly transitioning to Spain.

The east has just turned white and the sky is dark.

The airport's apron was full of fighter planes. After the fuel was refueled, the plane could be activated at any time. The pilot wearing a flying cap was looking at the commander in front of him with his admiring eyes.

"This is the first large-scale operation of our Condor Legion. We must exert our momentum!" Cirick told the pilots in front of him: "The sky of Spain belongs to our Condor Legion. Other air forces will either be destroyed by us in the air or destroyed by us on the ground! Now, I announce that the Eagle Strike operation has officially begun!"

Operation Eagle Strike was the first large-scale air operation planned by Cialek after entering Spain. The goal of this operation was to destroy all the Soviet aid to Spanish fighter jets, those aircraft that were nominally belonging to the international column!

Now, the focus of the two sides' competition is Badajoz, a transportation hub in southern Spain. The rebels in the north and the rebels in the south are trying to open up here and converge north and south.

In the east of Badajos, Karsada temporarily built an air force base, which was flying by pilots from the International Column, and they could take off quickly and protect the city of Badajos.

In this era, unlike later generations, there was an advanced satellite reconnaissance system. The intelligence personnel under Cialek analyzed the route of the International Column's aircraft for five or six days before finally freezing the other party's airport in Kalsada Town. Later, they sent personnel to investigate and finally confirmed it.

It was the latest base built, with more than fifty fighter jets deployed, all of which were the latest I-15 and I-16 fighter jets assisted by the Soviet Union!

So, Cialick and a group of staff planned the Eagle Strike operation.

Let those Soviet pilots in the name of the International Column know the power of the Luftwaffe!

Officially begin!

A 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 connected his headphones and heard a voice coming from inside: "Stuka Squadron, take off first!"

Stuka! This is a dive bomber developed by Germany.

At the beginning, at the suggestion of Cialek, a bomber-to-war battle was held. During that exercise, the He51, which fell from the sky, gave Hitler a very strong shock. It was from that time that Hitler fell in love with dive bombing.

Goering was also deeply touched at that time, so a new model specializing in dive bombing was born, which is the JU-87, commonly known as Sturzkampfflugzeug, which is based on the German writing of dive bombers.

From the appearance, Stukana's unique double-curved wings like seagulls are its most obvious feature, the fixed, thick and powerful landing gear, and the unique whistle almost spread throughout World War II.

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

This is a professional bomber! Before this, the Condor Legion used the Ju-52 transport aircraft to perform bombing missions. This type of aircraft can only be used when completely seizing air supremacy!

With the addition of the International Column and the support of the Soviet Union, this kind of transport aircraft could not be on the battlefield again. It is best to return to his position in his old business. Professional bombing must be handed over to professional bombers!

This was Hans' first battle flight, and his brilliant life began.

In later generations, Hans had a high status in World War II. For example, he was the German with the highest award in the war.

He even received a medal specially for him that symbolized the highest honor of the German army, namely the Golden Oak Leaf Double Sword Diamond Knight Cross. The establishment of such medals was largely driven by Rudel's achievements.

What are Hans's achievements?

He destroyed 519 tanks enough to form five complete Soviet armored brigades, as well as 150 artillery positions, nearly 1,000 other vehicles, 70 landing ships, 2 La-3 fighters, 1 IL-2 strike aircraft, sunk the battleship "Mara", and sank two other cruisers and a destroyer...

His record is unmatched. Of course, he has been shot down 32 times and has a 2,530 combat dispatch record. What does this record represent? In his six-year combat career, he has been dispatched more than once a day on average, without vacation or rest!
