    "You think I don't want to? But this Kharkiv is too close to the border. Our core base should be moved here for the best location!" Golin pointed his finger at a certain point on the map.

    Luzer looked down and said, "Krasnod? Isn't the airport there still under construction? Has it been completed?" the squadron leader asked.

    "It was just completed yesterday. Krasnorad is located between Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk. It can move forward and retreat freely. It is not so close to the northern border. This way, the observation posts on the Ukrainian border have enough time to warn, otherwise  "By the time the air defense siren is raised, the enemy may have already started swooping and strafing our aircraft parked at the airport in the southern suburbs of Kharkov!" Golin narrowed his eyes and pointed at Krasnov's position again with his finger.

    "Well, this is a good idea. At least the base camp of the 1st Fighter Wing can be set up at the new airport in Krasnola. Anyway, it's not far from the railway. There is a large forest next to the airport, so it is convenient to hide it. Of course  , it¡¯s a good idea to prevent fire, it will be troublesome if it burns! Then we can go there in the afternoon?¡± Luzer is obviously an impatient guy.

    "Don't worry. Of course, the air force must be stationed at the airport in the southern suburbs of Kharkiv. Otherwise, can that Simon Petliura agree? If we don't take off for patrol any day, he will have to call Kiev to complain to William Ge.  General Reiner complained. Of course, the former enemy commander here, Hermann von Francois, will not be able to calm down. If we withdraw all our squadrons, we will be surprised if there is no fallout in Kharkov! "

    The commander of the wing had obviously already made plans. He pointed at Kiev and Dnipropetrovsk and said, "We will transfer the 4th Fighter Squadron from Kiev to Krasno, and then move the 4th Fighter Squadron from Rivno to Krasno.  The 28th Squadron has also been transferred, so that 32 aircraft from two fighter squadrons will be deployed to this new airport as a mobile force. When the time comes, no matter whether the opponent comes from the north or the east, we will be able to assemble at least 5 fighter squadrons to deal with the situation! "

    After hearing this, Ruzel leaned over the map and looked at the map for a while, then couldn't help but stand up and said, "Let me tell you, Wing Commander, Kiev is in the rear now. Leaving a squadron to patrol there is a waste of time just pretending to be there. I think leaving a small team there is a waste of time."  It¡¯s enough to deal with it on the side, how about we also transfer Rotor¡¯s 11th Fighter Squadron?¡±

    Wing Commander G?ring shook his head when he heard this and sighed, "Roth's 11th Fighter Squadron will definitely stay in Kiev to look after the family. The German military headquarters in Ukraine is in Kiev. The head of General Wilhelm Greiner  Without the protection of our aircraft on Guazi, I don¡¯t think this guy would be able to sleep well. Besides, Roth hasn¡¯t been back from injury for long, so let him take the 11th Squadron to rest in Kiev for a while!¡±

    Since the straight-line distance from Kiev to Kharkiv exceeds the range of the Fokker aircraft, theoretically, it is necessary to refuel at a field airport in the ruble en route before supporting the Kharkiv front line. Therefore, once fighting breaks out in Kharkiv, Kiev will have to wait for  The squadron flew over to support, which was really a day lily.

    "Then we can only concentrate 5 squadrons first. By the way, Wing Commander, our airport has too little anti-aircraft firepower. Each airport should have at least one anti-aircraft artillery battalion. Why are we only deploying one now?"  Anti-aircraft artillery battery? How can six 20mm anti-aircraft guns defend a field airport?" Ruzel rolled his eyes and turned his focus to the anti-aircraft firepower.

    "You are right, Bruno, but it's not like you don't know the temper of General Hermann von Francois. Last time we asked him about strengthening the anti-aircraft firepower of field airports, the general's answer was  It made people laugh and cry. He said that if the German air force squadrons could not protect the air above their own airports and had to rely on the anti-aircraft artillery troops, then who would rely on the air defense of the city of Kharkov? Do you think this guy's talk is irritating?  Can the plane stay in the sky without landing to refuel, eat, rest and change shifts? "

    Hermann Wilhelm Goering got very angry when the matter of air defense at the airport was mentioned. The army commander and former enemy commander also named Hermann obviously did not take the young men of the German Air Force seriously.  , of course, the mission of the 1st Fighter Wing in Ukraine is to control the air and cover the ground forces. It is quite good to have a 6-gun anti-aircraft gun battery at each airport, otherwise the Fokker aircraft will be just a display on the ground.  Can't?

    The enemy¡¯s air attack is the enemy¡¯s air attack. When enemy planes arrive, it¡¯s only right that your fighter squadron take off as soon as possible to fight them. How useful is it to expect the anti-aircraft artillery troops to provide you with a protective umbrella?  These days, it takes an average of 5,000 rounds for small-caliber anti-aircraft guns to shoot down an enemy plane. Do you think the anti-aircraft artillery battery deployed near the airport is really capable of firing 5,000 rounds?  How long does it take to replace a 20-round magazine?  If the opponent launches a large-scale air raid, the air defense force will definitely be the target of the first wave of attacks!

    "Commander Captain, I always feel that it is completely unreasonable for us to be so passive and wait for others to come knocking on our door. You have to follow me. How about we send two teams to attack the opponent's airport at night when it gets dark? We will withdraw after the fighting is over.?The most we can do is firmly refuse to admit that we have crossed the line and attacked!  "The talented and courageous German ace refused to give up and gave G?ring another idea.

    G?ring pursed his lips and gave his beloved general a hard look, and he was complaining in his heart. Who knows what Berlin was thinking. It was obvious that the Allied forces were coming to open up the Eastern Front battlefield to attack Ukraine, but now they actually blocked it.  Preventing my men from striking first, what kind of tactic is this?

    ??Won¡¯t the other party come knocking on your doorstep if you act like a coward?  The Volga Federation is basically a puppet. They claim to be neutral. Does that mean they are neutral?  If they are neutralized, can the coalition forces still use this route to gather at the border between the Federation and Ukraine for their autumn outing?  Then it is clear that they are gathering forces to prepare to attack Ukraine!

    "Herman, please tell me something. If the blame comes from above, the responsibility can at most be placed on me, the squadron leader. These days, the coalition forces on the opposite side don't take off much at night. I guess their pilots are night blind or lack night flight training.  , we take this opportunity to fight and the other party may not be able to fight back. I said to the commander, they have never taken off less patrol aircraft than us in broad daylight. The morale of the troops has dropped after such a consumption! "

    Rouzel's words obviously made Goering a little embarrassed. Of course, if he really wanted to fight with the opponent's aviation team, he would not need any other excuses. The problem was that Goering felt very unsure at the moment and always felt that  The enemy opposite the 1st Fighter Wing is quite mysterious. Apart from knowing that the number of the opponent's squadrons and aviation units will never be less than that of our own wing, we don't know anything else about the coalition's air force, which is dominated by Asian pilots.  They all know very little.
