Iron Germany

"Your Majesty is right. We absolutely cannot tolerate the cruel behavior of the Russians. We must retaliate against them!" Air Force Minister Albert Kesselring immediately expressed his opinion.

Hundreds of pilots died tragically, which made him very distressed. Although, when those pilots were shot down, he knew that their chances of surviving were very small. But such a loss still made him unacceptable. You must know that every pilot is precious. Even the pilots of bombers need to spend a lot of time and materials to train them. After being shot down, if it can be rescued again, it can also attack again. But now, the Russians directly hanged them, cutting off all hope.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We must retaliate against the Russians, and we cannot let those pilots die in vain. Since the Russians do not abide by the Geneva Convention, there is no need for us to abide by it. We can also not take Russian prisoners during the war !” Marshal Manstein said.

"In this case, I am afraid that it is in the arms of the Russians." The new Foreign Minister Ribbentrop said.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Marshal Manstein asked.

"If we don't want Russian prisoners of war, those Russian soldiers will still die after they are captured. Then, they will fight us desperately during the war. In this way, their combat effectiveness can be improved instead. Let us pay more on the battlefield Large casualties. Russia generally doesn’t care about the life and death of those prisoners of war. What they want is to win the war. As long as they can win the war, they don’t care no matter how many people die. Therefore, the Russians absolutely I wish we could execute the prisoners!" said Ribbentrop.

"Cunning Russians!" Marshal Manstein couldn't help cursing.

Qin Tian's expression became even more ugly. The Russian government clearly set up a trap, waiting for Germany to jump into it. If Russia also executes prisoners of war, this is exactly what they want.

"Then what should we do? Should we do nothing?" Marshal Albert Kesselring asked.

"Of course we can't just do nothing, we have to fight back against the Russians!" Qin Tian said.

All eyes fell on Qin Tian.

"Order our air force to shoot down Russian planes during missions and find some pilots parachuting and shoot them! Those Russian pilots, after successful parachute jumping, will still take off to fight next time! In addition, in the strategic bombing When the time comes, you don't have to worry about it anymore." Qin Tian said coldly.

Since Russia dared to execute the captured German pilots, it ignored the Geneva Convention. Then, Germany also no longer has to abide by the "Geneva Convention".

"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Albert Kesselring replied.

Such a means of retaliation, although not as drastic as the execution of all Russian prisoners of war. However, there is no doubt that the attack on the Russian Air Force can be further increased. Although Russia has a large number of pilots, it has also lost a lot after the war revenge. If these Russian pilots can also be killed during the battle, then the strength of the Russian Air Force will become weaker and weaker. After all, training a pilot is not that easy.

At the same time, the German government also reported the execution of the captured pilot by the Russian government to the people of the German Empire and all allied countries through television, radio and newspapers. This almost aroused the indignation of the people of the entire Allied countries. Everyone regarded the Bu Russian government as a demon, and demanded that the Bu Russian government be severely punished and completely eliminated.

At the same time, the pilots of the Luftwaffe were also filled with righteous indignation. Although the Russians' actions did make these German pilots feel a little worried, for fear that they would be killed after being shot down during the battle. However, what they think more about is to save those comrades who died.

Next, the Luftwaffe's strategic bombing of Russia was not affected and continued. Moreover, as the number of BF-110 fighter jets in service increases, the strength of escorts becomes stronger and stronger. Once the Russian Air Force dares to launch fighter jets to intercept them, they will often be defeated.

On January 18, 1940, the Luftwaffe launched a strategic bombing campaign against Ufa. The Russian army dispatched more than 200 P-40 fighter jets and more than 300 I-16 fighter jets to intercept. However, they were attacked by more than 400 escorted BF-110 fighter jets.

The performance gap between the fighters of the two sides is too large, and the gap in the quality of the pilots is also very large. So much so that in air combat, the battle is almost one-sided. The pilots of the Russian Air Force could not resist the attack of the escort fighter jets of the Luftwaffe. A large number of Russian fighter planes were shot down almost in an instant.

Almost all the Russian pilots who were shot down chose to parachute. This is the hinterland of Russia. They can be rescued after parachuting. As long as their luck is not too bad, there is no problem in keeping their lives alive. If the plane is lost, it can be remanufactured, and the pilot is the real precious wealth. Therefore, the Russian Air Force also attaches great importance to the rescue of these pilots.

However, those Russian pilots who parachuted soon knew that it was not so easy to survive. Because those German fighter jets rushed at the parachuting pilots.

"Da da da!"

Aviation machine guns began to fire, and the Russian pilots who parachuted were shot one after another. Bullets pierced their bodies, and blood flowed out and drifted with the wind.

"Damn it, those Germans actually did something to the parachuting pilot!"

The pilots of the Russian Air Force were all frightened. They thought that even if they were hit, it would be no big deal and they could escape by parachuting. But now they know that even skydiving can't survive!

"You despicable Germans, you will go to hell!"

"Damn Germans, they are so cruel!"

Those Russian pilots who parachuted cursed the Luftwaffe pilots. After skydiving, they don't even have the ability to dodge. This left them at the mercy of the Luftwaffe.

These Russian pilots seem to have forgotten how elated they were when they saw the news of the hanging of the German pilot. In a blink of an eye, retribution came, and the Germans directly ignored the "Geneva Convention" and opened fire on these skydivers.

Many Russian pilots were shot dead before landing after parachuting. This made the Russian Air Force's losses begin to increase further, even much greater than that of the German Air Force.

In addition, the German Air Force often had no scruples when conducting strategic bombing, causing greater casualties to Russia.
