Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

For the United Kingdom, the United States and southern Africa, the Normandy landing was the largest operation since the outbreak of World War II. It was of great significance and could be called the turning point of World War II.

This is actually self-deception. Compared with the Russian battlefield, Operation Overlord is more like picking peaches. If we don’t take action, it will be too late. Russia will soon steal all the fruits of victory.

In order to confuse the Germans, the Allies have increased the frequency of naval and air force dispatches around Calais in the past month. The navy has conducted armed reconnaissance around Calais many times, and the air force has continued to bomb defense facilities around Calais, especially field airports.

Ruskin's squadron is the ace squadron of the aircraft carrier "Madagascar". There are 8 aces among the 12 pilots. Their mission is to clear the airspace around Calais. In the past week, Ruskin's squadron has shot down 16

A German fighter plane.

It’s not that they are unable to shoot down more, but that the Germans are taking off fewer and fewer fighter jets to fight. Since the Battle of Britain, the Germans have shifted their main air power to Russia, and now they are simply unable to protect the airspace around Calais.

The problem the German Air Force is facing now is very serious. Almost all of their excellent pilots have been lost in Russia. The more aircraft they fly, the fewer and fewer excellent pilots they fly. However, there are more and more aircraft in Russia. Even if the German Air Force is given another 100

Even with Hartmann, the Luftwaffe couldn't win.

The latest news is that Hartmann has shot down more than 200 Allied fighter planes, and this number is still increasing at a rate of about 1.5 every day.

Even among the Southern African Army, Hartmann has become a legend.

"How did this guy do it?" On the way to the war room, Samus got the latest battle report.

"With good luck, this means that this guy can encounter at least 1.5 opponents every day, and I suspect that his results are inaccurate. Maybe the German pilots gave him more shooting down opportunities in order to continue his legend." Ruskin

Don't believe in evil, if Ruskin is given enough fighting opportunities, Ruskin believes that he can do it.

Regardless of whether it is possible or not, this self-confidence still needs to be encouraged.

"I am also an ace now, and I will leave more opportunities for you to shoot down." Samus is already satisfied with becoming an ace. In the battle the day before yesterday, Ruskin could have added another victory for himself, just to fulfill his wish.

Samus, Ruskin gave Samus the chance to shoot down his opponent.

"Ha, no need, I won't be polite next time." Ruskin doesn't need to take care of him, he is the real ace.

In the battle preparation room, the map of Calais still hangs.

"It's air patrol again -" Samus was disappointed. He wanted to go to Paris.

The Southern African Air Force has frequent dispatches, mainly operating near the English Channel, and occasionally deep into the European continent. Of course, doing so is much more dangerous.

Ruskin said nothing, took out a small notebook, and listened quietly to Qiao Sheng's assignment of combat missions.

"Our operation this time involved the participation of the British and Americans. We each sent out a brigade to conduct a large-scale sweep around Calais. In addition to fixed targets, docks and port facilities are also within our attack range.

Our mission is to defend against German support from Paris and other directions, and create a safe environment for our bombers." Qiao Sheng's tone was relaxed, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Sure enough, as soon as Qiao Sheng finished speaking, the pilots started talking about it.

"Just bring the British. Can you not let the Americans join? I don't like the Americans!"

"American pilots are all novices, and I'm worried that they will hold us back."

"I'm worried about whether the Americans will shoot us with dirty guns——"

It's normal to hold back, but it's too much to take advantage of others.

This is not unfounded. A few days ago, when a British reconnaissance aircraft was returning from its mission, it was attacked by a patrolling American fighter jet.

The British reconnaissance aircraft that was attacked narrowly escaped with good technology and excellent performance of the reconnaissance aircraft.

The British reconnaissance aircraft were provided by Southern Africa.

Afterwards, the US pilot claimed that he misread the markings on the wings of the British reconnaissance plane and thought it was a German reconnaissance plane.

This reason is too perfunctory. There is still a big difference between the black cross and the Union Jack flag. The eyesight of US military pilots is not very good.

The Southern African Air Force also had issues with the U.S. Air Force. During the Brazilian Civil War, Southern African pilots fought against American pilots. The result was that the Southern African pilots were superior.

This result made the U.S. Air Force very unconvinced. In recent years, the U.S. Air Force has been working hard and never forgetting revenge.

Since the United States entered the war, a large number of American troops have arrived in the UK, and several have clashed with southern African soldiers every day.

"Quiet, please believe in our allies. They may not be professional enough, but it is impossible to do something illegal. What we have to worry about is the Germans. The Germans already know that we are about to launch a landing operation, so this time we are likely to face

Germany's elite pilots were drawn from the Russian battlefield." Qiao Sheng reminded the pilots to pay more attention, as the Germans are still capable.

Qiao Sheng pinned a photo to a blank space on the map and emphasized: "Pay special attention to this fighter. This is the German Me-262, a brand-new jet fighter that is fast, flies high, and has powerful firepower."

——Its fatal weakness is that it does not carry enough ammunition, so try to deal with it as much as possible and lure it into shooting. However, it is not easy to do this. Those who are qualified to fly the Me-262 are all aces among aces.

"

The Me-262 has been in service since last year, and hundreds of them have been produced so far. Basically all of them have been deployed on the Russian battlefield. They rarely appear on the English Channel, and most pilots in southern Africa have never seen them.

"Did Erich Hartmann fly this kind of plane?" Samus was eager to try. Shooting down Erich Hartmann was the dream of all Allied pilots.

"No, Erich Hartmann is still driving the Me-109. This guy is in Czechoslovakia now and will not appear in Calais." Qiao Sheng was a little regretful, but also happy at the same time.

Even if Erich Hartmann's results are satisfactory, he is also very capable. If he appears in Calais, he will also be a huge threat to the pilots in Southern Africa.

It was great to be in Czechoslovakia. Let the Russian colleagues deal with that guy. Qiao Sheng hopes that the young men in the squadron can return home smoothly.

After the preparation meeting, the pilots quickly set off and headed straight to Calais.

The weather today is very good, the sun is shining, and there are no clouds in the sky. Twelve "Goshawks" form two formations, and the pilots are in high morale.

"The area you are in is safe, unless the German planes are hiding under the sea -" the warning sound of the early warning aircraft came from the earphones. At the beginning of this year, the Southern African Air Force installed radar on the aircraft and built the world's first early warning and command aircraft.

machine.

Due to the terrain restrictions of the radar operator, the detection of distant areas is limited, and it is unable to provide more early warning for fighter jets.

In order to expand the search area as much as possible, radars are generally installed on high mountains.

So engineers in southern Africa installed radars on aircraft to expand the search area and provide early warning for fighter jets as much as possible.

However, current radars also have limitations, because radio waves are interfered by ground signals, and the search effect for low-altitude targets is not good.

Therefore, low-altitude targets must be visually searched by pilots.

Even so, with the help of early warning aircraft, the Southern African pilots' chances of winning have been greatly improved. Even if the German Air Force attacks at low altitude, the Southern African pilots have already occupied favorable terrain and can launch an attack at any time.

The "Goshawks" passed at high speed over Calais, and Ruskin inadvertently glanced south, which was Saint-Roch in southern Africa.

Saint-Roch is still under German control. The Germans have built a large number of fortifications in Saint-Roch and are stationed by an armored division and an infantry division.

This is also the reason why the Allies chose Normandy as the landing site. The most elite troops of the German army are in Russia, and the less elite troops are in Germany. The third-line troops are stationed around Calais, and the defenders of Normandy are not good.

It was at this startling glance that Ruskin suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a swarm approaching at low altitude and high speed in the distance. The sunlight shone on the metal wings and was reflected clearly.

"There is a group approaching at three o'clock -" Ruskin warned in time. It was not yet certain whether it was a German fighter plane.

This is the inconvenience caused by joint operations. The Southern African Air Force, the British Air Force, and the United States Air Force are all self-contained systems and do not report to each other. There will be some problems in coordination, and sometimes miscalculations are inevitable.

"Raise the height, seize a favorable position, and prepare for battle-" Qiao Sheng did not dare to neglect, any small mistake would have serious consequences.

Both sides were flying at high speed, and the distance was closing rapidly. After almost two seconds, Qiao Sheng noticed the two jet engines under the wings of the opponent's aircraft.

Qiao Sheng was deeply impressed by the jet engine. He had just shown photos before setting off.

"It's the German Me-262——" Before Qiao Sheng could finish his words, the battle broke out instantly.

The speed of the Me-262 is indeed fast. The fastest speed of the "Goshawk" reaches 750 kilometers per hour, which is almost the limit of the piston fighter.

The Me-262's maximum speed reaches 870 kilometers, which is much faster than the "Goshawk".

When the air battle broke out, the Me-262 was lower than the "Goshawk" and was at a disadvantage.

However, the pilot of the Me-262 fired first. A "Goshawk" was caught off guard, its wing was hit, and it fell to the ground with black smoke.

The firepower of the Me-262 is still very fierce, with four 30mm MK108 cannons, each with 100 rounds of ammunition, and two 30mm MK108 cannons, each with 80 rounds of ammunition.

Those qualified to fly the Me-262 are all ace pilots, who can be called flying experts. The outcome of the battle between masters only takes a moment. When a "Goshawk" was shot down by the Me-262, Ruskin also seized the fleeting shot.

Opportunity to damage a Me-262.

"I'll draw his firepower, and Sam will look for opportunities to make a sneak attack-" Ruskin and Sams cooperated tacitly, and they shot down at least 10 German fighter planes in this way.

"No problem, leave it to me -" Samus pulled up the nose of the plane frantically, trying to attack the tail of the Me-262, when suddenly a string of tracer shells flew past the porthole.

"Boss, I'm being targeted, save me—" Samus howled while operating frantically.

Ruskin couldn't care less about saving Samus. He was being chased by a Me-262 and had no time to escape.

The opponent's flying skills were very skillful. Ruskin made a circle in the air and still didn't get rid of him.

At this time, Ruskin suddenly discovered that the Me-262 chasing Sams's plane happened to appear in front of him.

Ruskin was not polite. He fired a series of machine cannons and the opponent exploded in the air.

The attack power of "Goshawk" is also very fierce.

"Thank you, boss - you are my angel -" Samus narrowly escaped and was extremely lucky.

The other "Goshawk" next to it was not so lucky. It was directly hit by the Me-262. The pilot successfully bailed out before the plane exploded, but he was not out of danger. Below the engagement airspace was a German-controlled area.

The air battle broke out suddenly and ended quickly.

There were only six Me-262s that attacked. Under the siege of 12 "Goshawks", two were shot down and two were damaged.

Two "Goshawks" were lost in southern Africa. One of them crashed on the sea on the way back, and the pilot was rescued by an Allied warship.

"So, the Germans placed their Me-262s in our Saint-Roch, thus escaping our previous bombing——" After the squadron returned to the base, Qiao Sheng reported it immediately.

After all, Saint-Roch is a southern African territory, so in the previous bombings, the Southern African pilots were merciful and did not carry out carpet bombing of Saint-Roch.

The airport certainly didn't miss it.

However, Saint-Roch's infrastructure is very good, and the Me-262 can take off smoothly even on the road.

"Not sure, the Germans are very cunning. We haven't found any German fighter planes in St. Roch before." Qiao Sheng told the truth. This cannot be regarded as a mistake by the pilots.

"Okay, we need to carry out a carpet bombing of St. Roch to completely eliminate the possibility of the Germans deploying fighter jets in St. Roch." Major General Field of the 4th Air Force marked on the map. He was still very satisfied with the pilots.

"The Germans dispatched jet fighters, whose performance has exceeded our Goshawk." Qiao Sheng did not hide his disappointment.

Since the German Me-262 appeared on the battlefield, the Southern African military has repeatedly reported that it will also field its own jets, but there has been no movement yet.

The reason why the Southern African Air Force has gained such a prestigious reputation is that while the rich experience and excellent skills of the pilots are important, the performance advantages of the aircraft cannot be ignored either.

Since the aircraft appeared on the battlefield, the performance of southern African fighter aircraft has been superior to that of its opponent's aircraft.

For the first time ever, aircraft performance in southern Africa lagged behind its rivals.

Although pilots in southern Africa do not feel afraid because of this, the combat losses caused by the aircraft's lagging performance still make pilots feel scared.

"Major, this is not your concern." Major General Field looked serious. The jets were already available, but it would take some time before they could be put into combat.

The opponents of the Southern African Air Force are not only the Germans, but the British and Americans are also potential competitors.

Since the war broke out, the Americans have stolen a lot of technology from southern Africa, so there is still debate within the southern African military about when the jets will be put into combat.
