Chapter 797 Ace
As Russia's most outstanding naval admiral, Peter established his position by successively defeating the Japanese combined fleet and the Ottoman fleet.
However, Peter's record was not recognized by the Royal Navy on the grounds that these two ships were too weak and could not prove Peter's ability.
Peter's greatest regret was that he missed the opportunity to fight Tirpitz during the World War.
Now a better opportunity has come. Peter hopes to teach the Royal Navy an unforgettable lesson with his own hands, so that the British understand that no matter what time, do not provoke the Russians.
Since there was no railway between Port George and Pas and the coastline was controlled by the Royal Navy, the British troops in Pas did not increase their vigilance.
Daniel King used transport planes to transport troops from the Pilbara to Kalgoorlie, and then launched an attack from Kalgoorlie to The Pas.
Only after the operation began did Daniel King learn how much Russia had prepared for the war.
Prior to this, Daniel King only knew that Russia had the Alpha department, and did not know much about this department.
When the troops began to gather in Kalgoorlie, information about the British army in Pas was continuously gathered to Daniel King.
The command system of the British army in Parth is divided into two parts. The naval commander is Sir Fordy Samson, who just served as the commander of the Asia Fleet at the beginning of this year. The army commander is General Hubert Gough who participated in the world war.
The main force of the British army in Pas was the First Army and the Third Army drawn from India, with a total strength of about 45,000. Only the officers were British, and most of the soldiers were Indians.
The training situation of the British army in Parth was very poor. Many soldiers had just joined the army and were hastily transferred to Parth before completing basic training.
The British army in Parth was not equipped with heavy weapons such as armored vehicles and heavy artillery. The number of machine guns was less than 100 because of the lack of skilled machine gun shooters.
The supply situation of the British army in Parth was not very good. The Indian soldiers even exchanged the issued bullets with the citizens of Parth for food, which surprised Daniel King very much.
The empire on which the sun never sets has just won the World War, but it has declined so quickly?
"The British and Indian troops do not represent the strength of the British army."
Andy's expression was slightly embarrassed. He had also served in the British Army and still had some feelings for the British Army.
"It doesn't matter, for us, there is no difference between the British and Indian troops and the British army."
Daniel King did not proceed with the troops to The Pas, placing his headquarters in Kalgoorlie.
The first ones to attack Pas were the Air Force.
After the British army occupied Pas, they deployed 4 aviation squadrons from India to Pas, possessing nearly 60 fighter jets.
The performance of the British fighter jets is similar to that of the fighter jets equipped by Theo's army. They were both products during the World War and have not been updated in time since the end of the World War.
The fighter jets of Theo's army were purchased from the Grand Duchy of Yuriev, and the pilots were also hired from the Grand Duchy of Yuriev.
As for the identity of the pilot——
Ask the Cossacks.
Cossacks were originally mercenaries, and they would work for whomever gave them money.
During the Russian Empire, the Cossacks were the tsar's whip of victory, fighting for the empire in both the north and south with great military exploits.
After the fall of the empire, the Cossacks reshaped their military spirit, changing from serving the tsar to serving the empire and fighting for their families.
Theo's army is equipped with a total of 120 fighter jets, and the commander is Korzaf, an ace pilot who has participated in the world war.
Don't ask why the Russian Air Force lets its ace pilots fight for Theo. Asking means giving too much.
As Russia's most outstanding ace pilot, Korzhav shot down a total of 21 enemy aircraft during the World War, more than half of which were from the Luftwaffe.
The performance of the British Air Force during the World War was not bad compared to the British Army. The British government attached great importance to the Air Force after the Navy. Although it was not abolished after the World War, it did not invest more funds in technology research and development and Purchase new fighter jets.
This batch of fighter jets purchased by the Theo Army had just been replaced with new engines before delivery, and their power was improved.
What makes Korzhav regretful is that the cannons of this batch of fighter jets are still the 12.7 mm used during the World War and have not been upgraded.
Russia's latest fighter jet has its cannon caliber upgraded from 12.7 mm to 20 mm.
But 12.7mm is enough to deal with British fighter jets.
Pas is too far from Kalgoorlie and is beyond the combat range of fighter jets. In Russia, the most effective way to increase the combat radius is to add external fuel tanks. Korzav was simple and rude, and simply moved to a small town less than 100 kilometers away from Pas. In the town, an airstrip was built.
Judging by Russian standards, this airport is indeed crude enough. The hangar was converted from a stable, aviation fuel is stored in the cellar, and there are several large haystacks next to the lawn used for landing fighter planes, with camouflaged anti-aircraft machine guns inside.
Kolzav was lucky. The British army never discovered this nearby field airport. Theo fighter jets took off from here and could reach Pas in just 20 minutes.
The classification of fighter jets during World War I was not clear enough. Fighters could perform reconnaissance missions or be used as bombers with aerial bombs attached.
After receiving the combat order, Korzhav personally led the first wave of fighter jets to perform the attack mission.
The first wave of fighter jets did not carry aerial bombs, and their mission was to destroy the Parth Air Force.
After experiencing many harassments, the British army in Pas also learned wisely and placed many guard posts around Pas to prevent the Theo Air Force from sneak attacks.
In order to cover the location of the field airport, Theo fighter jets would previously circle around after taking off and fly to Pas from the other direction.
The war was imminent, and Korzhav was very quick with his troops. This time he did not make a detour and flew directly to Pas.
This resulted in the British army's early warning not being timely. When 36 fighter jets led by Korzav arrived over Pas, the British army only took off 4 fighter jets.
Korzhav personally led the No. 1 Flying Squadron to besiege the four British fighter jets that had taken off.
The remaining fighter jets began to dive and shoot at the British fighter jets that were lined up on the runway to take off.
The best way to eliminate an air force is to eliminate it on the ground.
Kolzav's wingman pilot is Alexander, who has already achieved four victories, and is only one short of becoming an ace pilot.
Korzhav locked onto a British fighter plane and did not fire immediately, leaving the opportunity to Alexander.
Alexander gave a thumbs up to Korzhav from the air to express his gratitude, and successfully shot down the British fighter plane with a long burst of fire.
Kolzav was very happy. When he looked for the next target, only Theo fighter was left in his sight.
There are really more wolves and less meat, which is not enough.
A little trivia: these fighter jets that were wiped out on the runway will not be counted when calculating results.
