The war has entered a white-hot stage. The European battlefield is like a huge meat grinder, and every inch of land is filled with the breath of death. On the Western Front, the Allies and the Germans were in a fierce confrontation, and the sky became the most dramatic and decisive battlefield in this cruel war. On this day, the sun shone on the ground through the thin clouds, and the US military fighter jet fleet was carrying out patrol missions as usual. The pilots were wearing flying goggles and their eyes focused on scanning the surrounding airspace. From time to time, brief commands from the base command center came from their headphones and relaxed teasings between teammates. The whole atmosphere seemed calm, but there was a nervous atmosphere hidden. Suddenly, a sharp and terrifying voice broke the calm: "Damn it, I found the German fighter jet, my god, my god, it's too fast to catch up at all." The voice trembled, as if it was from **** The cry of despair from the abyss instantly put the entire US military formation into a state of extreme tension. "What?" The US military fighter jet commander sat up straight, the joystick in his hand trembled slightly, his voice full of shock and disbelief. However, before he could react further, a huge spark suddenly burst out from the sky not far away, and a US military plane exploded without warning. "Boom!" A violent explosion sounded into the ears of every pilot through the radio, shaking their ear drums into pain. The wreckage of the plane fell like raindrops, and the burning debris drew dazzling arcs in the air. It seemed like a ruthless warning from death. "Damn it, fight back." The commander quickly issued an order, his voice with unquestionable majesty, trying to regain control of the situation in this sudden chaos. But at this time, they were facing the German new me262 jet fighter, an unprecedented aerial weapon, whose speed was beyond the imagination of US pilots.
"Oh my God, the speed is too fast. This is a new German fighter. Please dodge it quickly." The pilots shouted in horror, their voices filled with despair and helplessness. Their fighter jets are like bulky snails in front of me262. No matter how fast they accelerate, they will be difficult to escape the fate of being hunted. I saw the cross me262 jet fighter jets rushing left and right at an astonishing speed, directly entering the core of the US formation. The 30-mm cannons equipped by these fighters spit out flames, and dense artillery fire rushed towards the US fighter jets like raindrops. In an instant, the sky was filled with the roar of aircraft engines, the whistling of shells, and the screams of pilots. "Climb and reorganize the formation." The commander shouted with all his might, trying to restore order to the chaotic formation. But under the crazy and fierce attack of me262, the US military formation had already been in chaos, fleeing around like a group of headless flies. "Captain, support me quickly. I can't do it anymore. The German fighter jet is too fast." A US pilot asked for help in despair. His fighter jet had been hit, and black smoke came out of the fuselage, shaking in the air. His eyes were filled with fear and desire for life, and he kept turning his head to observe the situation around him, trying to find a trace of vitality. "Why is there such a fast speed? It's incredible." Another pilot murmured to himself, his voice full of fear and confusion about this unknown powerful force. He held the joystick tightly, his palms were covered in sweat, but he still couldn't get rid of me262's pursuit. "Oh my God, the number of German fighter jets is increasing, too many, and I can't hold on." The shouts of the American pilots are one after another, but in this chaotic and cruel air battle, their voices seem so It is so helpless, as if the candlelight swaying in the strong wind, it may be extinguished at any time. The German me262 pilots were immersed in the battle frenzy. "It's great, I will definitely exceed 100 this time." A German pilot shouted excitedly, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes, as if he regarded this air battle as an exciting hunting game. Every time he shot down a US military plane, he felt an unparalleled sense of accomplishment. "Beautiful, kill another fighter." Another pilot also laughed proudly, and they were freely traveling through the US fighter jet group, as if they were entering a no-man. With the outstanding performance of me262, they easily broke through the US military's defense line and carried out a ruthless massacre of US fighter jets. However, due to the advanced, the me262 jet fighter is not perfect. "It's a pity that every time it needs to be repaired, it's too easy to break." German pilots were also complaining that although this fighter has excellent performance, it has minor problems and requires tedious maintenance work after each mission. This is undoubtedly a huge trouble for the time-critical air combat.
Moreover, once a failure occurs in combat, pilots often face great danger. Especially for this group of extremely stubborn Germans, this frequent failure makes them very troubled, but they can't do anything about it. They know the strength of me262, but they have to face its fragile side. Air combat became increasingly fierce, and the US pilots struggled in despair. They pushed the speed of the fighter to the maximum and tried to avoid the pursuit of the me262 fighter, but everything was futile. Facing the me262 jet fighter, they seemed to be lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to fight back, and they were either beaten or beaten. Occasionally, several US aircraft attempted to siege a me262 fighter, but they could only cause a little insignificant damage to it. In this air battle with huge strength, the US pilots deeply felt the sense of despair and powerlessness that penetrated into their bones. They watched their comrades around them fall one after another, and their hearts are filled with fear of war and confusion about the future. Fifty me262 fighter jets rushed around the US military cluster, like a group of ferocious sharks raging among the fish. After a fierce air battle, the US pilots finally felt the feeling of despair and powerlessness that penetrated into their bones. After the air battle, thousands of US military fighters lost more than 200, accounting for one fifth of the total number of aircraft. This result shocked the American pilots on the Western Front and were stunned and lost. They looked at the sky that was still filled with smoke, and their hearts were filled with fear and confusion about the future. They knew that the failure of this air battle was not only a loss of aircraft numbers, but also a heavy blow to their confidence and morale. Of course, the German army suffered a lot of losses. Although the German army had Ta-152 fighter assisted, in the overall air combat, there was not much difference in the performance of the fighter jets between the two sides, so the losses of both sides were similar. The German army lost 170 fighter jets during the attack, while the US army lost more than 260 fighter jets. Such a result is like a miserable victory for both sides, and no one is truly happy. Although the German army gained a certain advantage in this air battle, they also paid a heavy price. Our planes and pilots are also valuable war resources, and every loss makes them feel distressed. The most depressing thing is the B-17 bomber group. They hid high in the sky, thinking that they could escape the fierce air battle this time, but the me262 jet fighter gave them a lesson to let them know what it means to have nowhere to hide. The me262 jet fighter, which was rushing to the extremely slow B-17 bomber, was beaten up by a thunderous attack. In the eyes of the me262 pilot, these extremely slow B-17 bombers are simply huge targets, and they can be shot down with just a light pull of the trigger. B-17 bombers fell in the artillery fire, and the wreckage smashed towards the ground with rolling smoke. The B-17 bombers that were not hit were also trembling violently. The pilots watched their companions fall in horror, their hearts filled with fear. They tried to avoid attacks by changing the altitude and direction of flight, but under the high-speed pursuit of me262, everything was futile. Faced with such a bad situation, the Allied Supreme Commander Eisenhower seemed to be in the wind and was in a mess. He sat in the command center, holding the battle damage report tightly in his hand, his face full of surprise and painful expressions.
His eyes revealed deep worries and helplessness, and he knew very well that the failure of this air battle had a huge impact on the entire situation. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! Although these lost aircraft can be replenished soon with the US military's extremely powerful industrial production capacity, the German army's air massacre-like strike delayed the time for replenishing the aircraft for half a month. And this half month is undoubtedly extremely valuable for the ever-changing battlefield situation. The German army can use this time to calmly arrange more defense lines and strengthen defense forces. What's more, the unfavorable development of the army was also a heavy blow to the morale of the entire army, and the soldiers' confidence was challenged unprecedentedly. "Huh, when can we develop such a powerful jet fighter?" Eisenhower looked at the battle damage report and sighed, his voice full of helplessness and expectation. He aspires to have a jet fighter that can compete with the me262 to reverse the current air disadvantage. "According to the latest news, we have obtained the drawings of the British Meteor jet fighter. I believe it will be improved soon. Then there is no need to be afraid of their jet fighter jets." The chief of staff next to him said hopefully. All countries have been studying jets, and the UK is indeed at the forefront of the world in this regard. Although the flight performance of the Meteor Jet they studied is still very bad, American engine companies have begun to replace new engines for improvement. Once the experiment is successful, mass production can be achieved, and by then the comparison of air force may reverse. "This is really good news." Eisenhower said excitedly, his eyes rekindled with hope. However, new problems are placed before them again. "His Excellency Commander, will the landing operation be launched as scheduled?" the Chief of Staff asked with some concern. After all, the Air Force has suffered heavy losses now, and the air support force has been greatly reduced. Continuing to launch a landing operation is likely to occur, and various unexpected situations may even lead to the failure of the landing operation. This question is like a heavy shackle, pressing on everyone's heart. "Continue to initiate the landing and draw landing troops from the British army." Eisenhower said firmly, a sense of determination revealed in his eyes, as if telling everyone that he would not be intimidated by the difficulties in front of him. He knew the importance of landing operations, which was a key step to break the German defense line and turn the situation around. Even when faced with huge difficulties and risks, he decided to move forward bravely. "Also draw troops?" the chief of staff asked in surprise. He knew the series of problems that could be brought about by drawing troops, including the difficulty of troop allocation and its impact on the British army's own defense. He was worried that such a decision would make the entire battle situation more complicated and dangerous. "No, since the German army has dispatched so many fighter jets, it means they have seen that we are going to land, so they will definitely go to reinforcements at all costs." Eisenhower shook his head and explained, he analyzed the enemy's strategic intentions from the German army's actions. He understood that retreating at this time would only give the German army more time to consolidate the defense line, and although it was difficult to continue the attack, there might be a glimmer of hope. He had to seize this opportunity and catch the German army off guard. "But so many landing troops are also a big test for the navy. German submarines will definitely come to attack. They cannot watch us land." The Chief of Staff continued to explain his concerns. He knew German submarines well. The threat of German submarines had caused huge losses to the Allies in the previous naval battles. Those elusive submarines are like killers hidden in the dark, and may launch a fatal blow to the Allied fleet at any time. "I know that the Royal Fleet has been drawn to support it." Eisenhower said lightly. He had already considered the naval issues and made corresponding arrangements. He believed that the addition of the Royal Fleet could enhance the strength of the navy and effectively resist the threat of German submarines. "Yes!" Since everything was ready, the Chief of Staff was not good to make too much addition, so he immediately took the order and left.
On the other hand, the troops who received the landing order were nervously preparing for pre-war. In a military camp of the US military, soldiers were busy carrying weapons and equipment and checking ammunition. The collision of various weapons and the shouts of soldiers were intertwined, creating a tense and busy atmosphere. "Have you heard that? We are going to land on the day after tomorrow. Are you nervous?" A veteran of the US military mocked the recruits, with a hint of arrogance on his face, as if he was mocking the recruits' immatureness. He has experienced countless battles and is well aware of the cruelty of the war, so he is a little disdainful of the new recruits' performance. "Nervous? Why are you nervous? The elite German troops are all on the East Line and the Western Line are all second-line troops. They are all a group of waste, so there is no need to be nervous at all." The recruit replied with a disdainful look, his eyes full of confidence, and even A little conceited. He had not truly seen the cruelty of war and was full of contempt for the German army. He believed that the German second-line troops were not their opponents at all, and this landing battle would be easily won. This sentence caused laughter from many people present, and everyone seemed to be infected by the optimism of the recruits, and the tense atmosphere was slightly eased. However, what they didn't know was that although the German army did not have elite troops on the Western Front, their fortifications were extremely strong, and the fighting will of the German soldiers was still tenacious. What's more, the German army had already noticed the Allied landing intentions and was stepping up the deployment of defensive forces. (End of this chapter)
