"Your Excellency, we are currently increasing the production of HE-222 heavy bombers. It is expected that the Imperial Air Force will equip ten wings of HE-222 heavy bombers in the future. At the same time, the number of equipment for the HE111 heavy bomber will also be increased to ten wings. The Imperial Air Force's strategic bomber force will be dominated by these two fighter jets. Moreover, after the development of the HE-333 heavy bomber is completed and mass production begins, it will also be equipped with about ten wings!"Marshal Kesselring reported.

There is no doubt that the heavy bomber force of the Third Reich Air Force is definitely ambitious. Thirty wings, a total of 3,600 heavy bombers. Such a huge number is enough It made other countries tremble.

Of course, in a world war, this was actually not too much.

You know, in another time and space, the Eagle Country produced more than 12,000 B-17 heavy bombers alone.

Chapter 1 The strategic bomber force of the Three Reichs Air Force can maintain a scale of 3,600 aircraft while ensuring the replenishment of battle losses, which is undoubtedly enough in a short period of time. Of course, if a large-scale attack on the Eagle Country is to be carried out in the future For bombing the mainland, this scale is far from enough, and further expansion is needed.

Fortunately, the Third Reich no longer encounters resource shortages and has enough resources to manufacture these aircraft. If necessary If so, we can naturally vigorously expand the strategic bomber force

"I support expansion of the strategic bomber force. In future wars, the strategic bomber force will play a very important role. Especially if the empire launches an attack on the mainland of Eagle Country in the future, the strategic bomber force will be a sharp weapon in our hands!" Hess said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Marshal Kesselring is very happy.

Now Hess is definitely a man of his word in the Third Reich. With the support of Hess, there will no longer be any problems in the development of the strategic bomber force.

"How are the arrangements for the fighter planes escorting the strategic bomber force?" Hess asked.

When strategic bombers carry out strategic bombing, they often have to attack distant targets. In this process, they must have a very powerful escort force.

Although the heavy bombers are large in size and have powerful self-defense firepower. But once intercepted by enemy fighter jets, there will still be huge losses.

Especially this time, the target of the Third Reich's strategic bomber force is the Woolly Bear Alliance, and the Woolly Bear Alliance Air Force has been equipped with three or four Thousands of Yak-1 fighter jets, MiG-3 fighter jets and LaG-3 fighter jets. Moreover, before the success of the Third Reich’s strategic bombing, the Woolly Bear Coalition was still able to receive sixty or seventy such advanced fighters every day.

"Your Excellency, I have discussed with Marshal Milch. The Imperial Air Force will dispatch the FW-190 fighter wing to provide cover for the heavy bomber force. The latest improved version of the FW-190 has a maximum range of 2,800 kilometers when carrying auxiliary fuel tanks. It is enough to escort the heavy bomber fleet to carry out strategic bombing of the major cities of the Woolly Bear Alliance on the Eastern European plains. Currently, the Imperial Army already has five such FW-190 fighter wings. Next, as more and more FW-190 fighter jets are put into service, the escort force will become stronger and stronger. As more and more Furry Bear Alliance Air Forces are destroyed in the air, the strength of the Furry Bear Alliance Air Force will be gradually weakened. Once the Imperial Air Force's strategic bombing is successful and the Bear Online Manufacturing Factory is destroyed, this will significantly reduce the aircraft production capacity of the Bear Alliance. In this case, the Imperial Air Force will soon be able to defeat them."Marshal Kesselring said.

Hess nodded. Since the Third Reich Air Force has prepared escort fighters, the losses from strategic bombing will undoubtedly be much smaller.

If there are no escort fighters, the losses will definitely be staggering. Of course

, as the strength of the Bear Alliance Air Force continues to be weakened, the losses suffered by the Imperial Air Force during strategic bombing will become smaller and smaller. In the end, the main threat will come from ground anti-aircraft firepower

"I'm looking forward to the good news of the Imperial Air Force's successful strategic bombing!" Hess said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Marshal Kesselring replied.

After receiving the support of Hess, the Imperial Air Force immediately took action.

The strategic bomber force transferred to the airport in Bolan, and a large number of aerial bombs were also transported to the airport by rail. At the same time, the improved The FW-190 fighter jets also transferred to the frontline airport, preparing to escort the upcoming strategic bombing. In order to carry out strategic bombing, the Imperial Air Force's strategic bomber force and fighter force were fully mobilized.

February 27, 194 , Marshal Selling reported to Hess that the strategic bomber force was ready to carry out strategic bombing.

Hess supported this and let the strategic bomber force go ahead.

The strategic bomber force chose the first one to bomb. The target is the city of Gorky, located 400 kilometers east of Mosk. There is a large aircraft manufacturing plant here for the production of Yak-1 fighter jets. After destroying this large aircraft manufacturing plant and related supporting factories, at least it can The Wooly Bear Alliance's advanced aircraft production capacity dropped by at least 15%. At three o'clock in the morning on February 8, Marshal Kesselring issued an order for the strategic bomber force to attack.

With the efforts of the ground crew, an hour later, The first HE-111 heavy bomber took off from the airport in Bolan.

Subsequently, one after another HE-111 fighter jets took off.

This was the first strategic bombing, and the Imperial Air Force's strategic bomber force was relatively cautious. A total of five wings, or 600 HE-111 heavy bombers were assembled.

Taking off from the airport in Bolan, these heavy bombers need to fly for nearly three hours before they can reach the intended target. By then, it will be It’s 7 o’clock in the morning, it’s just dawn. After launching the bombing at this time, we will quickly return home. Being able to be escorted and protected by FW-19 fighter jets throughout the entire journey will undoubtedly greatly improve safety.

One by one, HE-111 heavy bombers Successfully took off from the airport and flew into the sky. After completing the formation above the airport, they flew majestically towards the territory of the Woolly Bear Alliance.

When these HE-111 heavy bombers arrived over the border, the FW-190 fighter jets located at the frontline airport , have also begun to take off. They will escort these heavy bombers throughout the journey._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
