Romanian Eagle

Isn't it incredible that there were no British fighters to defend Alexandria in this one-hour air strike?

In fact, this is not surprising, because when the air raid on the port began, the air raids on the three airfields in Alexandria were also in progress.

Among them, the newly stationed Loguell Airport, where the two squadrons of Spitfires were stationed, became the focus of the air raid. This airport is 7 kilometers away from Alexandria. The airport is mainly equipped with two squadrons of Spitfire, two squadrons of Hurricanes to form a fighter group, and a bomber group equipped with Blenheim bombers.

Nearly 100 fighter planes were concentrated at Logeair Airport, naturally because of its superior conditions. Loguell Airport was first built during the First World War, when it was just a dirt runway.

After the war, as aircraft became more and more useful, high-quality runways were required. Logueel Airport has been expanded with two runways. At the same time, a large modern hangar and other supporting facilities were also built. After entering the 1930s, two new concrete runways were added, and the hangar was further expanded.

This makes it the most advanced airport in Alexandria.

Naturally, because of the outbreak of the war and facing the threat of Romania, the United Kingdom dispatched two squadrons of the latest Spitfire fighters to enter the airport. Together with the originally advanced hurricane, it became the area with the highest air force quality except for the British mainland.

But this morning, everything changed.

It was not long before dawn, and the pilot woke up soon. They were eating breakfast and chatting. Suddenly, a piercing air defense siren sounded, and all the ground crew and pilots ran out immediately. An alarm sounds, there must be something wrong.

It's just that people are curious, and people keep asking. How is this going?

Those who were asked could only shake their heads blankly, expressing that they did not know.

It's just that their answers will be revealed soon, and several planes they have never seen before appear in front of everyone. Although they don't know this plane, they will not forget the logo on the wing.

That's a Romanian plane.

How did these planes get to Alexandria.

Have the Romanian army landed?

No one knows this question one by one, and the incoming fighter jets will not give the answer.

Several HF201 fighter jets lowered their noses,

The 20mm caliber machine gun and 12.7mm caliber machine gun it is equipped with are strafing the Hurricane fighter jets parked on the side of the runway, knocking many Hurricane fighter jets into pieces.

These are all fighter jets prepared in advance to deal with emergencies, and they still have enough ammunition and fuel, so this strafing hurt them a lot. However, the HF201 fighter that was strafing still felt unsafe, and when flying over it, it threw the 60KG bomb it was carrying. This kind of bomb against small and medium-sized targets cannot be resisted by the fragile mechanical energy of an aircraft, so the successive explosions are inevitable, and these hurricanes parked by the runway are completely destroyed.

The critical situation of face level has added to the panic in the airport. Many people were afraid of the firepower of the enemy planes and did not dare to go forward and start the plane.

Someone shouted anxiously. What about our anti-aircraft guns, why didn't they fire to drive away the enemy?

Just as he was talking, the air defense positions defending the airport opened fire. 40mm and 20mm anti-aircraft guns were sweeping away enemy fighters at the sadistic airfield. And in these air defense positions that opened fire, they immediately attracted the attention of the enemy planes.

And several daring pilots immediately prepared to board the plane and give the enemy a counterattack. It's just that they are destined to have no chance, because compared to the fact that the fighter has no air defense to attract the past, another fighter appeared in their eyes.

Someone well-informed immediately recognized it, This is a Romanian dive bomber, it's not good to run fast.

Because these dive bombers have already begun to enter the dive phase, their high-pitched air sounds are even more frightening.

Everyone who stayed in the room ran desperately to the four directions. When the scream reached the end, a 500-kilogram bomb was thrown on the building, and the violent explosion directly destroyed the building.

Lieutenant Colonel Eric, the head of the airport who saw all this from a distance, blushed and his eyes were filled with anger.

Ah, ah, ah! You criminals, die for me!

Lieutenant Colonel Eric, who had emptied the magazine, vented his emotions. I was still in that building before, but I came out early because of something before. And after the air defense alarm sounded, he had to deploy against the air defense.

And the disaster of Lieutenant Colonel Eric was not over yet, and there were nearly ten more planes coming to Loguere Airport. This made the already pressured air defense positions even more difficult.

boom!

An HF201 fighter attacked from behind, destroying a 40mm anti-aircraft gun position.

boom!

Another air defense position was destroyed.

There are too many incoming enemy planes, so that the air defense positions of the airport can't take care of them, and this naturally gives the opponent a chance to destroy themselves.

At this time, I have to praise the HF201 fighter. Its good low-altitude performance makes it even more powerful in the harassment, and it can easily deal with threats from air defense positions in many cases. (Don't be affected by the film and television drama, it is not easy for the air defense position to shoot down the plane.)

And the air defense positions that were harassed by these HF201 fighter jets had no time to take into account the bombing of the airport by the bombers.

The dive bombers that lost their harassment immediately rushed to the oil depot, hangar, repair shop, etc., all of which became targets of bombing. This caused heavy losses to the airport, and nearly 100 aircraft stationed there were destroyed by the attack.

In the end, only 5 planes could be counted, and two of them were damaged.

When the Logeel airport was attacked, the other two airports did not end well. How could the Romanian air strikes forget them, and the same two air strikes also destroyed them.

It's just that unlike the attack on Logeel Airport, Antara Airport and Colmada Airport have had an early warning due to the attack, and several Gladiator fighters have already taken off.

This is but this biplane developed in 1935 (I don't know what the British thought, but it was developing biplanes in 1935), not the opponent of the Romanian Zero, which was shot down without any effort.

In this way, the three airports in Alexandria were completely destroyed, and Romania separated nearly a hundred fighters (46 HF201 fighters, 36 RU18T dive bombers) in order to solve these three airports.

The main reason is also to prepare for the next second air raid in order to interrupt the support from Cairo and Said.
