    Looking at the densely packed enemies coming in like a tide, I knew it was hard to survive. I glanced at John, who was turned into rags by the artillery fire and looked like a beggar. I smiled bitterly and said: "John, I'm afraid we have to explain it here this time."  !¡±

    John shot back two shots at the enemy, hid himself and suddenly asked: "Captain, do you have any regrets?"  <-¡·

    "Is it useful to say this? I just regret that I didn't kill a few German devils!"

    "Haha, me too!"

    The surrounding soldiers were desperate, but in a few words between John and I, they turned into desperadoes. Since there is no hope and they are going to die anyway, then kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one.  .  But I think the people who are alive are basically good enough.

    Christian Will is still alive. Although he looks very embarrassed, he seems not to have been injured at all.  Scarface Bob's leg was hit by a bullet. Seeing that Will was fine, he said: "Will, you damn bastard is still alive and well!"

    Will laughed on the battlefield and said: "I am the most sincere believer in God!"

    Bob frowned and said, "Am I not?"

    Will suddenly shouted: "One from behind!"

    Bob reacted quickly and immediately fell to the ground on his back. The submachine gun in his hand fired behind him at the same time. The bullet "puff-puff" penetrated the body of a German soldier who wanted to sneak attack Bob from behind.  After killing the enemy, Will rushed forward and picked up Bob, who was a little unable to move, and said, "Good job!"

    Bob endured the severe pain in his leg and forced a smile: "What a joke! I can still kill ten or eight of them today!"

    Will looked at the people who were fighting hard in other directions and said, "I don't know if it's been five minutes! Why haven't these bastards from the Air Force arrived yet?"

    Bob gritted his teeth and said, "Who knows! What are they doing!"

    Suddenly, Bob was stunned and said: "What did you hear that sound?"

    Will didn¡¯t react and said, ¡°That¡¯s the sound of enemy artillery fire!¡±

    "No, no! It's a plane! It's a plane! Our plane!" Bob shouted excitedly.

    As the sound became clearer and clearer, two US military P51 ground attack aircraft also appeared over the battlefield. Suddenly the German attack force was in chaos, and the tanks turned around and tried to avoid it in the woods.  The infantry no longer dared to get together.  They dispersed and fled for their lives.

    "Hit me!" Everyone on the position became excited. Seeing such an opportunity, they took up their guns and charged back at the German army without the need for officers to give orders.

    The U.S. military¡¯s ground attacks are actually mainly carried out by fighter units.  The main sources of firepower for U.S. military fighter jets are equipped with 12.7 mm cannons and modified Bazooka series rockets, as well as aerial bombs within 500 kilograms.  Among them aerial bombs.  In the case of hit or near miss, it is basically an instant kill for German tanks. Even if the German tanks are not destroyed, the German tanks will cause a lot of damage to precision instruments due to vibration.

    Rockets are less powerful, but more accurate than aerial bombs. With the assistance of machine gun fire, they can directly hit the rear or top of a tank.  It can also kill German tanks and armored vehicles instantly.

    As for the 12.7mm machine gun of the US ground attack aircraft, although it is difficult to pose a threat to the German armored forces, if the angle is right, it can attack the engine compartment. Even if it cannot destroy the tank, it can also hit the accompanying infantry and block the opponent's offensive steps.

    The two P51 fighter jets swung their wings and dived, heading towards the German Tiger tanks that were almost rushing to the front of Hill 357. The planes were about to hit the ground.  The fighter jet suddenly jerked its nose.  A huge aerial bomb was thrown at the Tiger tank that could not run away.

    With a loud noise, the surface of the Tiger tank seemed to be roasted by fire.  The explosion was pitch black.  The engine behind the tank also burst into flames. It had obviously been destroyed by the fighter jet. As for the crew inside, none of the crew members ran out. The bodies of several German soldiers who used the Tiger tank as a cover were blown to pieces.  , In this way, the Tiger tank that left us at a loss was solved by the Air Force.

    The target of another fighter jet behind was a Panzer IV tank. The same aerial bomb was dropped, but the turret was overturned next to it. In a short period of time, the enemy's armored units participating in the attack were completely wiped out.  .  Such a result makes us sigh greatly. Air power is worthy of being the natural enemy of ground armored forces.

    John laughed and said: "It's so refreshing! It's so refreshing!"

    However, the air support did not end there.  After the fighter pulled up again, it adjusted its angle slightly in the sky, and then flew towards the German crowd on the ground at the speed of an arrow.  But this time, the plane pitched down01d;

    John's eyes lit up and he said: "It is much more effective to attack their battlefield supplies assembly area than to attack the enemy in front of you. These bastards in the Air Force are not completely stupid!"

    I thought to myself, this is the advantage of having air control.

    In an air-to-ground combat situation, it is possible in an absolute sense for the attacked force to withdraw its troops into underground shelters, but in practice it must be admitted that it is very difficult to do, especially when the opponent's air force  When the military strength is very strong.  But it is not enough to simply hide the troops. We must also put away everything that the troops rely on for survival, such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, repair shops, and other necessary equipment. This is of course even more difficult.

    Therefore, it is most effective to use fighter jets, bombers, and aviation weapons to attack the enemy and stop them on the enemy's offensive line.  Of course, the enemy will also have anti-aircraft weapons. However, these anti-aircraft weapons must be very dispersed. Otherwise, if an aerial bomb falls, a group of people, facilities and weapons will be lost.

    The Second World War clearly showed that no matter how advanced the ground weapons are, if the enemy's air power is lost or unable to effectively stop the opponent's air power, the enemy's air power will quickly destroy all our own strategies.  infrastructure.  The opponent is severely weakened, and all kinds of losses cannot be effectively replenished, and then the control of the war is lost.  Such as attacking industrial production bases, technology centers, airports, etc.  As for the advantages on local battlefields, no matter how powerful your armor is, the top cover of the armored force cannot withstand the blow of a 20mm cannon. For example, almost half of Germany's armored forces were lost to the same armor as their opponents.  , but air power.

    Of course, the key to dealing with the opponent's air power is also our own air force.  Only fighter jets can actively deal with fighter jets and protect the active forces on the ground, while ground anti-aircraft firepower can only wait passively, like a big tree waiting for a blind rabbit to crash into it.

    Originally, the theory of air supremacy was first proposed by the Italian air generals of the Axis powers, but it was the Americans who actually put it into practice and achieved results one after another. This caused all countries in the world to compete in the air supremacy competition to develop various types of fighter jets.

    Soon we saw thick fire and smoke rising behind the enemy.  The already demoralized German army was even more disinclined to fight.  Under the command of the commander, they slowly withdrew from the occupied position.

    Jimmy said: "Captain, the enemy has begun to retreat!"

    "All personnel, immediately recapture our lost positions!"

    The fighting at this moment was actually not fierce. The Germans were just retreating, not retreating.  We didn't get much advantage.  After all the enemies had withdrawn, we were all so tired that no one could speak.

    David collapsed on the ground, holding the sniper rifle and looking at the blue sky, muttering: "Haha, I survived again!"

    "Yes, we all survived!"

    Lieutenant Bartrom of the engineering team looked very sad at this time. I knew that almost all of his people were dead.  I comforted him and said: "Lieutenant Bartrom, the brothers are all on the battlefield, and their souls need us to take them home!"

    Lieutenant Bartrom nodded and held out his palm for me to look at.  Those are the "dog tags" of his brothers! (To be continued.)bumped into.
