Chapter 87 Battle of Pantelleria Island (7)

However, Chen Yanlong's mobilization this time was strongly opposed by Michel and Garland, because for the two high-level air force officers, the issue of local air defense in Germany is the most important and critical.

They even valued and took the issue of German local air defense as a front-line combat problem and took it seriously.

But no matter how strongly they both opposed it, Chen Yanlong took out the release team he wanted.

Mishir and Garland could only curse Chen Yanlong in disgrace.

Carl Andrew Spatz, who was not much better than Chen Yanlong, was also full of resentment.

Originally, his 41 bomber brigade had about 2,000 B-17 bombers, but unfortunately, after passing through the large-scale air battle on the Bangjiao Peninsula, and Chen Yanlong wiped out the 12th Bomber brigade in Panteleria Island, his bomber troops were only 800 bombers left, but the number of them could only fight was more than 400.

So this time he was able to dispatch 398 B-17 bombers to give Chen Yanlong a little color, and the remaining dozens can only be used as reserves.

"Bastard German! You guys wait for me! After all my new planes are replenished, I will let you try what it feels like to be bombed by more than a thousand bombers!"

Watching his bomber troops gradually disappear before and after his eyes, Carl Andrew Spatz made up his mind.

But now he is also very depressed. Why has the bomber fleet dispatched by the United States not arrived at him yet?

Twenty minutes later, at an altitude of 5,000 meters, the entire area was covered with alpine clouds.

Algaeocumulus can be divided into light-transmitting algaeocumulus, light-shielding algaeocumulus, pod-shaped algaeocumulus; cumulus-shaped algaeocumulus, floc-shaped algaeocumulus and fort-shaped algaeocumulus.

Algaeocumulus clouds are formed under high-altitude inversion strata and cold air is under saturated conditions.

The cloud blocks of high cumulus clouds are smaller, with clear outlines, with great differences in thickness and shape. The thin cloud blocks are white; the outlines of the sun and moon can be seen, and the thick cloud blocks are dark gray, and the outlines of the sun and moon are unclear. They are often oval, tile-shaped, fish scales or dense cloud strips with waves. They are often grouped, rowed, and arranged in waves...

The British and American franchise bombers were sailing in the beautiful alpine clouds, although they had the power to adjust their flight speed based on local terrain, visibility and weather changes.

However, according to the order of their commander, it is necessary to maintain a certain altitude to navigate; to avoid disturbing the German troops they were going to conduct sneak attacks and the other party's radar monitoring.

"Hey! Jack! How long does it take for us to reach the German territory?"

Pilot Jim asked another P-38 Lightning fighter by radio as he flew his P-38 Lightning fighter, following the B-17 bomber fleet flying in front of them.

"It should be soon! We turned left and right for half an hour, so we should be about to arrive at Panteleria Island or Sicily!"

Jack replied in an uncertain tone.

"How is your fuel consumption?"

Pilot Jim continued to ask.

"It's okay! I'm not flying very fast! Our fuel tank and sub-fuel tank also have a lot of fuel, and we can fly about an hour longer!"

Jack looked at his oil gauge monitor and answered honestly.

"I and you consume about the same fuel capacity! But we don't have to worry so much! Anyway, we have a lot of new airports in the Mediterranean area that can be used! If there is really no aviation fuel, we can go to the airports in the nearby area to refuel!"

Jim replied very optimistically.

"By the way, you said we'll fight those German guys later, who's better?"

Before Jack could answer, Jim suddenly changed the subject.

"Of course it's us, what's wrong? Do you have no confidence in our B-17 bomber?"

Jack said confidently and proudly without thinking.

"I think so too!"

Jim also smiled confidently.

"Hey! Then let's shoot down more German planes later, bomb more of their industrial areas and military facilities!"

Jack still smiled confidently.

"Of course! We will shoot down those German guys like cutting melons and vegetables later! So that they can know how powerful our US military is!"

Jim smiled brightly and said excitedly.

"All the pilots of all aircraft listen, switch channels immediately, call commanders, and guide the operations!"

"Set the course 320 degrees northeast and prepare for battle!"

But as soon as he finished speaking and before Jack could answer, the captain of their 55th Fighter Team had already issued combat orders to the pilots via radio.

"Captain Singer! Have you discovered the German Air Force?"

Hearing the captain's order, Jim shouted excitedly in the radio headset.

"Increase the throttle and go in full speed in the northeast direction!"

"The open-circuit fighter jets ahead found a small group of German aircraft at an altitude of 4,600 meters, and they also found us; they were climbing at a fast speed and attacking us!"

Captain Singer ignored Jim's excitement and excitement, but continued to issue combat orders.

"Be careful, there is another German flying team in the southwest of yours, probably a small team, no! Oh my god! It's a whole big team! And it's their new Fω-190A-6/R1 fighter fleet!"

"All fighters will drive the accelerator with all their strength and prepare for battle! The course is 220 degrees and the height is 5,200 meters!"

But at this moment, Singer suddenly shouted loudly in shock.

"receive!"

"receive!"

"receive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the pilots of the 55th Fighter Team immediately replied loudly via radio.

"Oh, Jim, be careful! At four o'clock, you turn right, two German fighters are approaching at high speed!"

When the pilots of the 55th Fighter Team of the US Army were about to enter combat state, Jack suddenly panicked and radioed to Jim not far behind him, warning.

"Step right and climb! Jim!"

In response to this, the captain Singer was anxious to issue an order via radio.

"I understand! Captain! Be careful, I also saw a German plane approaching you at 3 o'clock! Turn left!"

Jim hurriedly and quickly drove his P-38 Lightning fighter and turned right.

As soon as he turned around, two German Fω-190A-6/R1 fighter jets whizzed past him.

Jim was frightened by this sudden attack and was covered in cold sweat. He immediately rolled around, flew, climbed, and quickly descended in a difficult manner, desperately avoiding the two German Fω-190A-6/R1 fighters besieging him.

"Quick! Jim turns left! The German Fω-190A-6/R1 fighter behind you are already making a sharp left turn, and there is another German Fω-190A-6/R1 fighter. He has turned right to the front of you and is ready to shoot! Be careful!"

At this moment, Jack shouted in fear and instantly passed into Jim's ear through the radio headset, shouting.

But between this flash, the sound of two harsh WGr21 large air-to-air rockets sounded; the P-38 "Lightning" fighter jet driven by Jim was instantly in a deafening explosion; it changed into a big fireball, smashed to pieces and died.

"Ji...Jim!"

Seeing Jim, who was destroyed in a short moment and died in the sky; Jack's eyes were red with blood, and he roared heart-wrenchingly excitedly.

"Bastard! German guy! I'll fight you guys!"
