Four hundred and thirtieth chapters melee (two)

People always have the mentality of underestimating the enemy, especially when they are in a long-term and comprehensive manner to control the situation.

For example, the Allied Air Force in the Battle of Sicily...

They had fully grasped air supremacy more than a month before the battle was launched. The entire Sicily was allowed to be bombed by the Allied forces. Any German and Italian fighter jets that dared to take off and responded to the battle would inevitably be ruthlessly eliminated.

This forced German and Italian fighters to avoid Italy or Sardinia, and Allied bombers could go deep into Sicily without even escorting the fighter.

Over time, the Allied forces almost forgot about Germany, the Italian army and the Air Force.

Qin Chuan took advantage of this.

He first separated the US Navy, Air Force from the British Navy and Air Force... If the military forces of the British and American armies were closely united, to be honest, any actions made by Qin Chuan in Sicily would be in vain.

Tactics, deception, quality... these will be wiped out in the face of absolute strength.

But this was not the case with the British and American militaries, and there were conflicts between them, and Qin Chuan realized this before the war.

Therefore, if you want to defeat the Allies, you must first get rid of Britain and the US will let them fight for their own battles.

The method of disagreement is very simple. It is to fight the US military at the beginning instead of the British military, and it has been chasing the US military, which makes the US military feel that it is suffering and angry alone against the main force of the German army, while the British army easily reaps fame and fortune on the other side and publicizes it.

Perhaps Eisenhower could bear this because he was the supreme commander and his mission was to unite the two armies.

But if...the safety of the US military itself is problematic, Eisenhower may not be able to persevere anymore.

Sure enough, things were the same as Qin Chuan thought. The US Navy retreated to the beachhead for self-protection, and the fighter plane could not be stung in Tripoli, just to provide timely reinforcements when needed by the "encircled" beachhead.

In this way... the German and Italian troops can concentrate their efforts against the British troops.

Not only Syracuse, but also the British fleet and the British Air Force. The British army, who thought that the German and Italian air forces had no power, were destined to pay the price for this.

Originally, it was difficult for the Italian Air Force to play a role in the British Mediterranean Fleet and the British Air Force.

This can be said to be Mussolini's pot. Mussolini's vanity makes him pay more attention to superficial data rather than substance. Therefore, the Army is in the world's best queue but has no combat effectiveness. The Air Force is huge but mostly fighter jets with poor performance.

What's worse is that the Italian navy and air force are completely different. There is basically no cooperation between each other... A large part of the reason for the poor performance of the Italian navy is that the air force cannot provide coordination. You should know that the most important thing in naval warfare is air supremacy. Before the naval warfare begins, the air force needs to reconnaissance, and then the air force needs to compete for air supremacy. If the air force completely ignores the interests of the naval force, the warship is almost blind at sea: you can't see where the enemy is, you have no power to fight back against the enemy's air strikes, and you don't know whether the enemy warship is attacking itself and cannot prepare, etc.

Of course, the Air Force also has reasons for the Air Force: the maximum speed of the fighter Maki 200 is only 512 kilometers per hour, which is a big difference from the 655 speed of the British Spitfire. The maximum speed of the BR bomber is only 440 kilometers per hour, and this data is still moisture.

In order to cater to Mussolini's vanity, the top Italian officials often do such things, that is, exaggerating equipment data to make Mussolini happy.

The "Piaggio" heavy bomber claimed to have a voyage of 3,600 kilometers. Even the Italians believed it themselves and bombed the Strait of Gibraltar and the British fleet according to this data. As a result, more than half of the aircraft had to make a forced landing in Spain due to insufficient fuel.

After checking the reason, it turned out that the 3,600-kilometer range was obtained by taking off without loading ammunition and full of oil.

The result of these fighter jets and bombers with moisture can be imagined... The air supremacy in the Mediterranean is basically converted into the hands of the German and British troops, and there is nothing wrong with the Italian Air Force.

But now it’s different. Fighters are flying around like kites everywhere. From time to time, two fighter jets cannot avoid and collide together and at the same time, they are destroyed and killed. Not to mention the anti-aircraft gunners and anti-aircraft machine gunners on the ground, even the British pilots in the air are in chaos.

A Spitfire easily locked the Italian fighter at a much faster speed. As the wings fired a row of bullets, a row of bullet holes exploded on the Italian Markey fighter and then pierced the sea.

However, the British pilot was planning to find another target, but a roar of machine guns came from behind... Just as he fell into an Italian fighter plane, the German fighter plane had also locked him.

A hurricane fighter was diving towards an Italian Br bomber preparing for low-altitude bombing. The pilot noticed that the Br bomber was targeting the British Fearless aircraft carrier.

The pilot knew how dangerous this was, because there were fighter planes ready to take off on the deck of the USS Fearless aircraft carrier, so even if there were German fighter planes chasing him behind him, he would still shoot him down.

But just as the pilot locked the target and shot it down, several black fog suddenly appeared in front of him, and then with a "boom", the plane lost its balance and fell heavily to the sea.

The moment he rolled and fell to the sea, the pilot opened his mouth and screamed in anger... because he knew that it was not the enemy that destroyed the fighter jets, but the anti-aircraft guns on his warship.

The anti-aircraft gunner who committed this "crime" was stunned. He aimed at the Italian bomber in front, but because the plane was too fast, the shells he fired failed to keep up, and instead destroyed his fighter plane behind him.

Then, he could only watch the Italian bombers drop rows of bombs with whistling sounds... and below was the aircraft carrier "Default".

"Boom boom", amid the flames and explosions, the fighter jets on the flight deck of the USS Fearless aircraft carrier were blown to pieces. Because these fighters were full of fuel, it immediately caused a fire. Many British soldiers were affected by the fire. They were ignited and screamed wildly. Many people could not bear the pain and jumped into the sea from the aircraft carrier.

The anti-aircraft gunner couldn't help but stop the action in his hand because he thought it was all caused by him because of his own mistakes.

But he soon didn't need to worry about this, because a horse-kit fighter jet dived down and then fired a row of bullets at the anti-aircraft guns.
