Romanian Eagle

Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

The high-pitched anti-aircraft siren sounded, causing Sarsai to roll over from the bed. While turning over the bed, he also patted Lomon, his friend and comrade-in-arms, who was sleeping in the next bed. Get up Lomon, the Romanian plane is here again.

Lomon, who was awakened by the tweeter and his friend, couldn't help complaining. These damn Romanian planes, it's been more than ten days. Come here so early every day, can the gentlemen in Paris come and see what kind of life we ​​live.

Although Lomon was cursing, he didn't move at all, and put on his military uniform in less than a minute. This is the speed that has been exercised. Since the air strikes appeared in Beirut, his dressing speed has become faster and faster. It is estimated that after waiting for a while, he might be able to solve the problem of dressing in 30 seconds.

Are you bastards okay, hurry up and gather.

The roar of the squad leader Sergeant Deka appeared outside the door, causing the two of them to rush out even more quickly, and he couldn't care less when Lomon's shirt was left unbuttoned.

This is an ordinary Arab-style courtyard with four or five rooms. The family has fled to the countryside to avoid the coming war. The house was commandeered by Beirut authorities because it was close to an air defense position that had been set up. Together with the requisition, there were more than ten houses, and those with owners were also relocated to other places by the French army.

In the yard, someone was faster than them, and it seemed that there were not a few people trained by the Romanian Air Force. The two of them hurriedly lined up, and within two minutes of the line, everyone was there, and Mir, who finally came out, was kicked by the sergeant.

Now, let's go.

Following Sergeant Deka's order, they immediately lined up and rushed to the position.

Yes, they are Beirut's air defenses, tasked with defending the airspace. It's just that there is always some helplessness in reality. Without the support of air planes, the effect of ground air defense alone on incoming planes is much lower.

But the current situation is that the British and French air power is mainly dealing with Germany and Italy, but the Romanian Air Force is the weakest.

At present, Romania has urgently expanded four airports on the island of Cyprus. In addition, it has also built five new airports and deployed more than 900 aircraft. The French air force in the Middle East has been exhausted in the face of the Romanian air force attack.

And although the United Kingdom still has a lot of aircraft, it needs to defend Egypt and the Suez Canal, and the air force it can support is not enough. Basically, an air force can only be dispatched every few days to contain it. These are all actions taken by the other party to deal with the situation. Let the Romanian Air Force on Cyprus not be too arrogant.

In fact, it is not that the British and French Air Forces have not thought about conducting air strikes on Cyprus, attacking Romania's aviation power, and solving the imbalance of air power, but there is no chance at all. Reconnaissance planes and the surrounding warships allow air strikes from any direction to be detected. In addition, Britain and France organized a night attack, and the effect was very poor. In the face of the combination of searchlights, anti-aircraft artillery, radar and night combat aircraft, they were also incompetent. return.

It needs to be mentioned here that the newly developed small radar in Romania can already be used. Although this small radar is 20 to 30 meters high compared to the shore-based radar, the ten-meter height is not a small improvement, and the equipment is also much smaller. Easier to deploy.

Since there is no way for the island of Cyprus, Britain and France can only honestly do air defense work.

Salsai's company is one of the anti-aircraft forces. They operate the Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft cannon and are responsible for protecting the 100mm large-caliber anti-aircraft guns deployed on the high ground. This anti-aircraft gun is the most powerful anti-aircraft weapon of the French army in Beirut, and its maximum rate of fire can reach 8 rounds per minute.

18 of this air defense weapon were deployed in Beirut, organized into three companies. And other air defense weapons, mainly rely on its deployment around to play a protective role.

Yes, this is also a common air defense deployment in various countries, with medium and large-caliber anti-aircraft guns as the main force, and small and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns can only assist. Moreover, the main purpose of large-scale anti-aircraft firepower is not to shoot down many aircraft, but to disrupt their formation and reduce the losses suffered by bombing. All are to pre-estimate the route and make the advance amount, and then wait for the aircraft group to collide.

Therefore, in the face of the Romanian aircraft group attacked by the black pressure, the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground opened fire more violently, especially the medium and large caliber artillery is its main force.

The continuous bursting of barrages at an altitude of seven or eight thousand meters made it impossible for the aircraft group to maintain such a flight mode. I saw that the large group immediately dispersed, and the twin-engine bombers were ready to carry out horizontal bombing. And dive bombers also began to choose targets. As for the escorting fighters, they are also looking for opportunities to attack these anti-aircraft guns.

Watch out for enemy dive bombers.

As the squad leader, Sergeant Deka roared and commanded the two 20mm anti-aircraft guns operated by his squad. Yes, their mission is to deal with the most menacing dive bombers, in these anti-air combat, they shot down a dive bomber, so they can proudly brush a white circle on the anti-aircraft gun barrel.

Fire.

Following the order of Sergeant Deka, who was observing the height of the enemy aircraft, the two 20mm anti-aircraft guns immediately fired bullets.

Bang, bang, bang...

The bullet marks in the air were clearly visible, but they aimed at the dive bomber and swayed left and right in the barrage, passing through the barrage they made.

Seeing the target enemy plane dodged, the angry Sergeant Deca cursed. I said to pay attention to the amount in advance, pay attention to the amount in advance, haven't you figured it out these days.

It's just that his shouting didn't work, and the enemy planes just climbed out of their range. No way, the Oerlikon 20mm cannon has a maximum shooting height of only 4700 meters, which is still a 45-degree field of view, using the most powerful 20×110MM bullet effect. Generally, their shooting height is maintained at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and it is difficult to shoot any higher.

And this dive bomber also saw that the anti-aircraft firepower below was too strong, and did not intend to try it.

Although they stopped the attack from this enemy plane, the Romanian attack continued elsewhere, the first of which was the horizontal bombardment of the enemy planes.

At a height of 5,000 meters, a formation consisting of RU28 twin-engine bombers immediately began to drop aerial bombs. The bomb composed of 50KG began to bomb the military targets in Beirut under the optical sight of the pilot aircraft.

Boom, boom, boom...

The bomb was thrown on the ground with a rumbling explosion, and the raised smoke completely obscured the bombing target. This is nothing for horizontal bombing though, carpet bombing was casually German first used in Spain, but Romania learned fast and will do the same.

I saw that in the target area, a series of bombings reduced the area to the ground, and both the army and the civilians suffered heavy casualties in such bombing.

Romania is currently using small carpet bombing, with horizontal bombing in the size of one to three squadrons.

And the height of 5,000 meters makes small-caliber anti-aircraft guns useless at all, only medium and large anti-aircraft guns are effective.

The medium and large air defense is a huge defect for Beirut at present. In fact, it is not considered a defect, but there were too many losses in the previous bombing. At present, there are less than 50 doors in the entire city of Beirut. You must know that there were more than 150 doors before, which shows heavy losses.

Of course, during the bombing, some bombers were unfortunately shot down, which naturally attracted loud cheers from the officers and soldiers on the ground.

However, for the huge fleet, it will not hurt the root at all.

As Salsay's company, they need to pay more attention to dive bombers because their attack efficiency is higher.
