Romanian Eagle

After Lieutenant Colonel Elsted sent back the telegram of Tiger, Tiger, Tiger, the fleet immediately burst into cheers. This also meant that the raid was very successful in concealment, which caused cheers from the officers who were waiting for news on the radio.

And this also made the two commanders who had been waiting for the news, Midraphael and Fernandez, also beamed with joy.

This time there will be great results.

Fernandez smiled and said his predictions to Midraphael beside him.

And the prudent Midraphael is also smiling at this time. Definitely, because this attack has changed the pattern of naval warfare. Congratulations to Major General Fernandez, you are destined to be remembered in history.

Your Excellency Commander, you have won the prize. This is not only accomplished by me alone, but the efforts of so many people in the navy can achieve such success.

Obviously, Major General Fernandez still maintains a sober attitude even now.

In fact, after sending the carrier-based aircraft away before, he has always been ups and downs in his heart, worrying about the fighters of the air attack.

Will the raiding carrier-based aircraft formation lose its direction halfway?

Will it be discovered by the British in advance?

After being discovered, will the carrier-based aircraft formation cause heavy losses?

And this news made him let go of his inner worries, everything is his best state.

Then, as a result, he didn't have much expectation. Because many deductions have been done before, it has been shown that they were raided without preparation, and even the loss of the Romanian fleet would not be small. And if it is replaced by the Mediterranean Fleet, which has worse air defense firepower, the absolute loss will be even greater.

Midraphael is very satisfied that the chief of staff around him still maintains a clear head, because they still have heavy tasks ahead.

I saw Midraphale giving an order. Send a message to the carrier formation to get them ready to receive aircraft.

In fact, needless to say, five aircraft carriers will do the same. On the three absolutely core Bormiku-class fleet aircraft carriers, the ground crews are already busy with their feet on the ground. Aviation torpedoes and 250KG and 500KG aviation bombs are placed beside the runway, and fuel tankers and fire extinguishers are also placed on one side.

As the captain of the Bormiko, Colonel Nix couldn't help wrinkling his forehead looking at the mess on the deck.

It's so messy,

It simply increases the risk. If there are enemy planes attacking, such a situation is completely creating opportunities for the enemy.

Obviously, the ground work on my own ship is not very good. Since the situation of even his first aircraft carrier is not much better, the chaotic situation of the remaining two and the two escort aircraft carriers that have just been commissioned can be imagined.

In fact, what he thought was right at all. Compared with the Bormiko, the Serrakos and the Eugenscu were more chaotic. As for the two escort aircraft carriers Bibuck and Jarscu, there is no need to say more. Fortunately, they only need to provide refueling and supplies for the fighters.

Without making them wait for a long time, the first wave of returning planes appeared in front of everyone. This is by 11 H57 torpedo planes and 8 RU18T dive bombers appeared in front of everyone.

This was the first fighter to attack. After throwing the ammunition they were carrying, they flew back in a team.

And this is also an intentional behavior, because there are too many fighter planes in the air attack, and they all start the air attack at the same time, so in order to avoid the return time of each plane being too concentrated, they all leave after throwing their bombs. It's just that of course, it's not a single plane to return, but a small team to return home.

The ground crew on the three aircraft carriers became even busier. They instructed the plane to park in chess language, and when the plane stopped, the fuel tankers and ammunition carts immediately surrounded. The top order that should be loaded, the refueling that should be refueled. And the crew members also ran off the plane, the water should be released, and the food should be eaten.

After the fuel and ammunition were loaded, they boarded the plane again and flew into the sky again under the command of the ground crew.

And this situation has continued since the first batch of planes returned. At the peak, nearly 20 planes were hovering in the sky, waiting to land.

When the first batch of returning planes took off, the two escort aircraft carriers were also releasing fighter jets, but this time they were protected by RH20T carrier-based fighter jets.

This batch of aircraft consisted of fighter jets protecting the aircraft carrier. After the first air strike formation flew away, the three aircraft carriers kept releasing themselves with the remaining fighter jets. In addition to protecting the skies over the fleet, these fighters were all transferred to escort aircraft carriers. Because according to the plan, the three aircraft carriers need to be vacated to prepare for the next acceptance work, which further shortens the preparation time for the second air attack.

Therefore, these RH20T fighters can only escort the aircraft carrier to stop and wait for the next air strike to be equipped.

As more and more fighters returned, a large number of Romanian Zero HF201 fighters also joined the return sequence.

These bodyguards in the air raid kept docking on the escort aircraft carrier. Fortunately, the fighter has less equipment, and the only thing that needs to be replenished is the ammunition. In the first air strike, many fighter jets did not get the chance to fire, which also relieved the pressure on the ground crew of the two escort aircraft carriers.

At this moment, an H57 torpedo plane with bullet holes stopped on the deck. The pilot jumped out and shouted. Quick, there are wounded.

I saw that in the rear warehouse, the self-defense machine gunner leaned over to his post, and the blood on the glass was still clearly visible.

Several medics wearing the red cross logo immediately ran forward, and they swarmed the machine gunner out, and the blood on his body stained the uniforms on their bodies. After they carried him aside, a doctor stepped forward to diagnose him. Touching his pulse and listening to his heartbeat, the doctor shook his head and stopped helping.

Already dead.

After receiving the doctor's diagnosis, the pilot and bombardier fell silent.

An officer who checked the plane for bullet holes found nothing serious. So he pulled a small soldier and pointed to it and said to the two of them. Now he's your new player.

The plane took off again, and the small gunner sat in the last gun position, blood still looming on the glass.

The first wave of planes returned from 9.37, and the last plane departed on 11.21. Within nearly two hours, the 299 planes that returned home departed again. (One took off and failed to be pulled up, fell into the sea and the pilot was rescued, which is counted in the loss)

However, there have been some changes in this attack, in which the number of fighters has been further increased, and the number of torpedo planes in the bomber has been further reduced.

The list of the second wave of air raids is as follows: 86 HF201 fighters (8 defending fleets remained), 48 RH20T fighters, 64 RU18T dive bombers, 76 H47 torpedoes, for a total of 274 aircraft.

Among them, the increase in the number of fighters is mainly due to consideration, and the enemy will definitely increase its personnel. Although the air power that had destroyed Alexander also blew up the airport, as long as the British army moved fast enough, it would be no problem to sort out a temporary airport. The second wave took long enough for its emergency air force to reach Alexandria.

Therefore, for the air strike force, first of all, it is necessary to destroy the enemy's resistance from the air.

At this point, the air strike force has enough confidence. Not only from self-confidence in their own fighters, but also from self-confidence in their abilities.
