The large-scale bombing carried out by the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force on the morning of January 5th was a great success. All 25 airports in Italy were destroyed, and more than 500 German Air Force fighter jets were blown up and bombed! However, the losses of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation were minimal! This fully proves that once the German Air Force loses the advantage of sneak attacks, the German Air Force will be completely at a disadvantage in front of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation!
After the bombing in the morning, all aircraft groups returned one after another! In order to ensure that they were not attacked by the German Air Force, hundreds of F10 "Lightning" heavy bombers of the Chinese Air Force took advantage of their long time in the air to cruise over Italy and attack the German Air Force fighters that took off. Once the German Air Force has a large-scale operation, be alert immediately! When the radar's search range is low, using long-range fighter jets for early warning is undoubtedly the best way!
The Commander-in-Chief of the German Air Force, General Schulz, and the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Joannis von Zeckert, were shocked after receiving the telegram from Italy! They just carried out a sneak attack two days ago and severely damaged the Chinese Air Force, but in the blink of an eye, the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force responded to them! Although the German Air Force still has many fighters in Italy. But at this time, it is no longer possible to form an effective assault force!
After General Schulz consulted Kaiser Wilhelm II for instructions, he urgently dispatched three wings of fighter jets to Italy, intending to defend Italy's airspace! However, not long after the Luftwaffe's fighter force took off, the Luftwaffe once again received a telegram from Italy!
January 5th at 11am. The Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation once again conducted large-scale bombings of airports in Italy! This time, most of the 42 medium-sized airports in Italy were bombed. Although the Luftwaffe's fighter jets have taken off to meet the enemy, facing the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation, the Luftwaffe is far at a disadvantage both in terms of numbers and combat power!
During this bombing. Nearly thirty medium-sized airports in Italy were bombed! The Luftwaffe lost more than two hundred fighters and bombers! The Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation also lost dozens of fighter jets and bombers during this bombing operation! Some of these fighters were shot down by Luftwaffe fighter jets, and the other part were shot down by Luftwaffe ground air defense forces! In order to protect these airports, the German air defense forces also worked hard! However, although their performance was very tragic. But all efforts are in vain!
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation carried out bombing again! This time, the German Air Force's urgently dispatched fighter wing has arrived! The two sides started a fierce fight in the Italian sky! Fighters of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation strangled the fighter planes of the Luftwaffe, holding back the Luftwaffe fighters and creating opportunities for the bombers! The German Air Force fighter jets are trying every possible means to get rid of the Chinese Air Force and Naval Air Force fighter jets and attack the Chinese bombers! They know it very well now too. The Chinese Air Force bombers pose a greater threat to them! Whether it is the terrifying bomb load of the H10 'Kunpeng' bomber, or the H9C 'Canghu' dive bomber and the H0D 'Seagull' torpedo attack aircraft, they are extremely lethal to ground airports! Once the airport is destroyed, the German Air Force will no longer be able to deploy to Italy! By then, air control over Italy and even the entire Mediterranean will be handed over to others!
The battle was very fierce. In the battle this afternoon, the Chinese Air Force lost more than 40 F11 "Vulture" fighter jets. More than 60 F10 ¡®Lightning¡¯ heavy fighter jets and nearly fifty H10 ¡®Kunpeng¡¯ bombers! The naval aviation and carrier-based aircraft forces lost more than 50 F11B "Vulture" fighter jets, more than 20 H9C "Canghu" dive bombers and more than 20 H9D "Seagull" torpedo attack aircraft!
Although the losses were great, the results achieved were equally huge! All medium-sized airports in Italy were successfully destroyed! In addition, the most conservative estimate of the downed fighter planes of the Luftwaffe participating in the war, as well as those bombed on the ground, is more than 300 in total! At the same time, the German air defense forces responsible for defending these airports also suffered heavy losses during this day's battle. At least thousands of soldiers of the air defense force were killed or injured! The German Air Force troops deployed in Italy suffered heavy losses!
On the afternoon of January 5, four fighter wings urgently dispatched by the Chinese Air Force to the Mediterranean arrived, further enhancing the strength of the Chinese Air Force in the Mediterranean region! These four fighter wings include two F11 'Vulture' fighter wings and two F10 'Lightning' heavy fighter wings! at the same time. A fighter wing mobilized by the Naval Air Force also arrived! The arrival of five fighter wings has made the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation more powerful in their struggle for air supremacy in the Mediterranean region.So cool!
On the morning of January 6, the attacks by the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation began again! After receiving a large number of fighter jets, China provided a huge escort formation for this bombing operation! Although the Luftwaffe once again sent two fighter wings to Italy at night. But in front of the huge fleet of Chinese Air Force, the German Air Force seems so weak!
During the bombing on January 6, almost all small airports in Italy were blown up. After the German Air Force once again lost hundreds of fighter planes, it had to choose to evacuate Italy! If they continue to stay in Italy, they may all be wiped out!
Kaiser Wilhelm II was furious at the tragic defeat of the Luftwaffe! But he knew very well that the main reason why the German Air Force failed was that the strength gap between the two sides was too great! After the Chinese Air Force has continuously sent troops to the Mediterranean, it has been difficult for the German Air Force to gain an advantage! In order to preserve their strength, they had to give up Italy temporarily! In addition, in order to protect Germany's domestic airspace, Wilhelm II directly gave it to major aircraft manufacturers and asked them to do their best to expand production capacity. Under the pressure of Kaiser Wilhelm II and the Luftwaffe, these aircraft manufacturers all chose to work in three shifts. This allows the Luftwaffe to obtain about six hundred fighters and bombers every month! At the same time, these aircraft manufacturers have also begun to build new factories, install production lines, and prepare to further expand production capacity!
The withdrawal of the German Air Force from Italy will naturally have the greatest impact on the Kingdom of Italy! In fact, in the past two days, Chinese and German fighter planes fought over Italy, and the fighter planes of both sides were shot down like dumplings. This shocked the Kingdom of Italy greatly. Because most of these downed fighter planes belonged to the German Air Force!
On the evening of January 6, in the Royal Palace of Italy, King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy urgently summoned Italian Prime Minister Mussolini and General Badoglio, Chief of Staff of the Italian Army!
"The German Air Force has withdrawn from Italy! Now, Italian airspace is undefended! What should we do now? I am afraid that tomorrow morning, Chinese bombs will fall on our heads!" King Vittorio of Italy. Emanuele III said in a panic! Although he wants to defeat China and take revenge, the prerequisite is the support of Germany! He himself also knew that without the support of Germany, it would be impossible for Italy to defeat China, or to defend Italy!
"Your Majesty! The airports in Italy have almost been destroyed by the Chinese! Even if the German Air Force wants to stay in Italy, it is impossible!" Mussolini said helplessly! The large-scale air battle between China and Germany shocked him greatly! While Italy is still concentrating on developing its army, the battlefield between China and Germany has moved to the air! Compared with China and Germany, Italy has lagged far behind! This time, after the German Air Force retreats, Italy will be violently attacked by China. There is no doubt about this!
"Then what should we do? With our current military strength, we simply cannot defeat the Chinese!" Vittorio Emanuele III said! He was very dissatisfied with Germany's withdrawal of its air force!
"Your Majesty! Although the German Air Force has withdrawn, their air defense forces have stayed! Coupled with the air defense weapons that Germany assisted us before, we are enough to form an air defense force with a total strength of 100,000 people!" Italian Army General Staff Long Badoglio said! Italy does not have an air force, so it can only find ways to build more aviation forces to protect Italy's airspace! However, no one can say how useful this passive defense will be!
"Is the Army ready for battle? The Chinese have gained air supremacy over Italy, and they will definitely attack us! The last time they raided Rome, we quickly lost this war!" Vito Leo Emanuele said through gritted teeth, as if he remembered the shame of being captured by China again!
"Your Majesty, the total strength of the Italian Army has now expanded to 1.3 million men. We have obtained a large amount of weapons technology from Germany, and the weapons we are now equipped with are not much worse than those of the Chinese! If the Chinese want to land in Italy this time, we will They will pay a heavy price!" Admiral Badoglio said. Rome is the defensive focus of the Italian Army, and half a million people have gathered around it! In addition, around Taranto in the south, which was occupied by the Chinese, the Italian Army also assembled 300,000 troops!
