"Damn yellow-skinned monkey!"

After receiving the news of the surrender of the Prague garrison, Crown Prince Joseph was so angry that he swept all the valuable porcelain on the coffee table to the ground and broke it into hundreds of pieces.

It's all the fault of those two idiots Müller and Heinrich. They commanded 100,000 men, 600 tanks and a lot of cavalry, but they couldn't defeat the yellow-skinned monkeys who sent troops to stop the attack.

If the fight can end in a loss for both sides, I can also reward the two of them, at least achieving the original intention of severely injuring the yellow-skinned monkey.

However, it was just a tank battle, and they were completely defeated by the opponent within half an hour. They lost completely and had no chance of comeback. The remaining time was spent on how to escape from the battlefield.

Joseph only learned of the matter through a telegram sent by Seydlitz, who had already seen the three officers who had entered the city to persuade him to surrender.

As for the two idiots Mueller and Heinrich, they were hiding in some corner and did not dare to report the military situation for fear of making them angry.

Seydlitz really couldn't hold on any longer, so he surrendered.

Joseph also expressed his understanding of this, and the Prague garrison held on for more than twenty days.

Even though the yellow-skinned monkey's firepower was even stronger than last time, the Prague defenders held on longer than the Warsaw defenders.

It can be said that although it is an honor to lose, it is still a defeat, which directly causes our own situation to become more passive.

According to the previously prepared combat plan, the Prague defenders will have to hold on until at least mid-May.

Surrendering to the yellow-skinned monkey now would be equivalent to a month ahead of schedule.

The main responsibility is that the Yellow-skinned Monkey invested a large number of new fighters, new tanks, and new rocket launchers in this war.

Not only is it easier to compete for air supremacy, but it also improves the army's field assault capabilities, taking siege firepower to a whole new level.

These are things that Joseph had not expected before. Even if the other party also develops new fighters and tanks, the number of equipment should not be too much.

The actual situation was just the opposite. Many defenders on the Eastern Front reported that they were attacked by the new Yellow-skinned Monkey tanks and suffered heavy losses.

Combining the data from these reports, it can be concluded that the number of new heavy tanks invested by Huang-skin Monkey is as high as nearly a thousand.

Joseph believed that the defenders lied about the military situation. There were not that many at all, but there were at least four to five hundred vehicles.

At the same time, it also shows that if our newly developed "Imperial Guard" heavy tank does not thicken the front armor to 200 millimeters, it will not be able to withstand the opponent's long-range shots.

In the tank battle that just ended, this method was still very practical. The "Imperial Guards" that went into battle were basically destroyed by the opponent's fighter planes.

If we had control of the air on the battlefield, the situation would have been reversed, and it would have been the yellow-skinned monkey's heavy tank that was destroyed.

If there is a chance, Joseph really wants to send someone to seize one of this new heavy tanks and bring it back to study it...

The "Imperial Guard" was actually developed by France, and the technology was shared with the Holy Roman Empire so that it could test the performance of this tank in all aspects through actual combat.

The French version is called "Order Cavalry", which means cold and ferocious. If it weren't for the more threatening No. 9 tank on the battlefield, this "Order Cavalry" would have the upper hand in the showdown with the No. 1 tank.

With the emergence of Panzer IX, the "Imperial Guard" or "Order Cavalry" were completely suppressed.

The speed is not as fast as the opponent, and the firepower is not as strong as the opponent. If it is not equipped with additional armor, it will be bombarded into burning scrap metal by the opponent's cannon.

According to reports from the front line, the opponent is almost two times larger than the "Imperial Guard".

Engineers at the arsenal speculated based on report analysis that Huang-skin Monkey's new heavy tank may weigh more than forty tons!

This is very scary, and shows that Huangskin Monkey's tank research capabilities are still at the world's leading level.

Not only can it be developed, but it can also be mass-produced. Fortunately, the number put into combat is not too many.

If Yellow-skinned Monkey invests two thousand or even three thousand heavy tanks, his own land war will be completely unwinnable.

The Imperial Air Force faced a similar situation, as Yellow-skinned Monkey invested thousands of new single-engine fighters.

As a result, not only the "Falcon" and "Eagle" fighters equipped by the Imperial Air Force were suppressed, but nearly 700 fighters were lost in an air battle. Please download the app Aiyue app for the latest content

After the third air battle over Prague, Crown Prince Joseph was not depressed, but made a more surprising and bold decision.

Assemble three thousand fighter jets and deal a devastating blow to the yellow-skinned monkey fleet that attacked Prague!

After figuring out the number of escort fighters on the other side, Crown Prince Joseph believed that as long as the Imperial Air Force could have more than three times the numerical advantage, it would be able to win the air battle.

At the same time, it can also provide necessary support to the city's defenders after ground reinforcements fail to relieve the siege of Prague.

At about 1:20 pm on April 17, the largest air battle in human history broke out!

The Holy Roman Empire Air Force dispatched 105 "Eagle" fighter jets, 744 "Falcon" fighter jets, and 2,259 "Albatross" for a total of 3,008 fighter jets.

The Ming army aircraft fleet that bombed Prague included 865 "Hercules" bombers, 699 "Flamingo" fighter jets, and 387 "Black Pepper Albatross" fighter jets.

The total number of Ming army fighter jets is 1,086, and the Holy Roman Empire Air Force has a 2.77 times numerical advantage, almost achieving the original intention of Crown Prince Joseph.

This time the Holy Roman Empire Air Force learned from the previous painful lessons and transformed the fleet into three formations.

The "Albatross" with the lowest performance but the largest number is specially used to attract the opponent's new fighters, while the "Falcon" fighter is responsible for covering the "Eagle" fighter, which is the main force in attacking the opponent's bomber formation.

As long as the established mission can be fulfilled, we will not hesitate to lose all the "Albatross" fighter jets!

After the fleet merged, a large group of "Albatross" flew at the front in a horizontal formation.

Behind them were the eager "Falcon" and "Eagle" fighter jets. The pilots of these two fighter jets were planning to sneak attack the opponent's bomber.

There was just a slight deviation in time. When Prague was bombed and the opponent's fleet began to return, the Holy Roman Empire Air Force's fleet arrived belatedly.

The pilots couldn't care less about how many people were killed in the city. They didn't have the energy to think so much now, so they focused on how to shoot down the enemy planes.

What is good for the Holy Roman Empire Air Force fleet is that the location of the air battle is out of the control of the yellow-skinned monkey ground forces besieging Prague.

This means that even when fighting at low altitude, there is no need to worry about being shot down by ground artillery fire.

You must know that the yellow-skinned monkey's anti-aircraft gun is not something that often jams. A single shell can shoot down an "Albatross".

Seeing that there were too many enemy planes coming to pursue their own side, the Ming army's fleet changed its previous tactics this time.

Let more than three hundred "Black Pepper Albatross" serve as the main force behind the break. This thing is fast but has a large turning radius.

The opponent had gathered so many fighter jets this time, so they were obviously well prepared.

Once there are too many enemy planes rushing towards the bomber, it is necessary to continuously fight around the bomber.

The relatively clumsy "Black Pepper Albatross" was unable to provide effective protection for bombers and simply became a human shield.

Although it is dangerous to break off, it is also glorious and can bring more results. On the contrary, it has been unanimously welcomed by the "Black Pepper Albatross" crew.

Originally, the Holy Roman Empire only had a few bombers, and they did not dare to attack them for fear of being shot down by their own side.

Naturally, the crew of the "Black Pepper Albatross" was not happy to accompany the bomber men for walks in Prague every day.

This heavy fighter also has another function, which is to attack the ground, but that also requires finding enough ground targets?

Hundreds of "Black Pepper Albatross" came out to forage together. If the other party only had 18,000 people, it would not be enough for everyone to share.

The Third Army had previously carried out a siege and reinforcements, but the weather conditions were bad and the air force was unable to dispatch.

Now the sky has finally cleared up, but the opponent's reinforcements have also been defeated...

If the enemy aircraft group had not appeared again, the crew of the "Black Pepper Albatross" would have felt that their presence was extremely low.

Unlike the "Flamingo" which is mainly used to escort bombers, the "Black Pepper Albatross" returns empty-handed, which means losing money!

Now we finally encountered this wave of barbarians who came to seek death. If we don’t do it now, when will we wait? ? ?

In the past, everyone was always worried that there were too few enemy planes, but now it's better, everyone can get several.

Those who see are rewarded, and those who are able work hard. Don't get excited and just bump into your wingman!

Each squadron leader also used radio to notify his subordinates to control their speed as much as possible and not to rush too fast.

Maintaining formation is not important, the important thing is to sprint at high speed when shooting head-on.

Then the turning radius of the fighter plane will inevitably be larger in the future, and it will take more time to turn around.

Although the "Black Pepper Albatross" has a machine gunner at the rear, it can also fire at targets in the tail direction.

However, the firepower of the twin machine guns is definitely not as good as the machine gun and machine gun on the nose. As long as it hits, the target can be broken into pieces in an instant.

This time we are outnumbered, so we need to strangle them many times to clean them up.

Everyone is a veteran. As long as the above gives a few simple instructions, everyone will understand everything.

This time there is no need for squadron-sized collective operations, and attacks can be carried out in two- or four-plane mode.

The important thing is to improve efficiency, only in this way can the pressure on the bomber formation be reduced.

In order to escape, all "Hercules" bombers were rapidly climbing into altitude and increasing their speed.

The bomber's maximum speed is much faster than the "Albatross" fighter, but not as good as the other two enemy aircraft.

If controlled properly, there would be less than a thousand enemy aircraft that could pose a threat to the bomber formation.

Of course, this number is still terrifying.

Once the interception fails, it will be the largest loss suffered by the Ming Air Force since its establishment.

"Kill one!"

"I'll kill one too!"

The "Albatross", whose performance was completely behind the times, was no match for the "Black Pepper Albatross". Although the two names differed by just two words, it was a huge difference between World War I and World War II.

In just one round, the "Black Pepper Albatross" fleet shot down at least 300 enemy aircraft, which was considered a good start to the campaign.

"Attention, everyone, give priority to shooting down fast enemy planes. If not, then kill those losers!"

The captains of each squadron obviously had stronger battlefield insights. They discovered that the new enemy aircraft behind the "Albatross" group began to outflank their own side from the left and right sides, and they knew that the situation was not good.

Assuming that the opponent has a thousand new fighter planes that can break through the first line of defense, the "Flamingos" on the second line of defense can only destroy six to seven hundred enemy planes at most at a time.

This means that there will still be about three to four hundred enemy aircraft that will appear in front of the bombers. The latter will have machine guns for self-defense, but that is the last weapon.

As long as the opposing pilots didn't look sideways, they would have shot down at least 70 to 100 bombers. This number of losses would be terrible.

This time the barbarians gathered so many fighter planes to chase and kill them. It was obvious that they were fighting for their lives!

Then we can't let the other party succeed, we must go all out!

After the "Black Pepper Albatross" completes the turn after completing the first round, the primary target for the next sprint is no longer the "Albatross", but the opponent's faster fighter.

Although there is a considerable gap in distance, it can be made up for by the range of weapons. Shooting down one more aircraft can relieve a little pressure on the bomber formation.

There is no way to care about the results of the battle. Now that this is the case, it is better to just fight randomly. It is actually not very interesting to fight the low-energy "albatross".

The stronger the enemy aircraft, the more excited the Ming Dynasty pilots will be, so that shooting down the opponent will give them a greater sense of accomplishment.

Abusing food?

Those are all beginners’ hobbies!

"Attention! Attention! The enemy plane is sandwiched between us and the 'Flamingo'! Be careful and fire! At the same time, avoid our own fighters on the opposite side!"

"clear!"

In this "rougamo" situation, it is impossible to completely avoid accidental damage. If you are shot down by your own fighter plane, you can only admit that you are unlucky.

But as long as it can ensure the safety of the bomber formation, it is worth it.

The cost of one "Hercules" bomber is equivalent to four "Black Pepper Albatross" or six "Flamingos"!

After seeing the stupid yellow-skinned monkeys eating their own bait, the pilots and gunners of the "Falcon" and "Eagle" fighter jets were quite proud, indicating that this trick really worked.

The formation easily broke through the first line of defense of the yellow-skinned monkeys. After rushing through the second line of defense at full speed, they could fire at the stupid bombers as they pleased.

However, it didn't take long for the shells and bullets flying from behind to make them realize that things were not as easy as they thought.

In just a moment of surprise and confusion, more than fifty Holy Roman Empire Air Force fighter planes were shot down.

And the enemy directly opposite them also came to kill them fiercely.

The "Flamingo" fleet could not wait until the enemy planes rushed to nearly a thousand bombers before opening fire to block them.

A certain distance must be maintained from the bomber so that the fighter can flexibly turn after a strike.

Shutting back and forth among the bomber formations really depends on ability and luck.

It is common for an inattentive person to have the machine gunner on the bomber injure himself or even collide with each other.

Only under forced circumstances will fighter jets fight around their own bombers...
