*TOP SECRET*
My brave pilots, tomorrow we will attempt to strike back at the enemy
We will take back the airfields of Murmashi and Shogui and attempt to capture one of theirs
Just to show them that we can also do this
The final assault target will be revealed just hours before the mission is due to launch
but below you can find details of the aircraft involved and our other targets
We have 3 operational areas/targets
1) Pummanki. Close air support and CAP - 8 a/c
2) Murmashi/Shongui - Ground interdiction and CAP - 4 a/c
3) Combined arms assault against airfield 'X' - Two groups in two waves - 24 a/c
PUMMANKI - 8 a/c
1xLa5F - CAP
1xYak1B - CAP
2xHurribomber - CAS/CAP
4xIL2 - CAS
In sector AS10 we can see a concentration of '?' enemy units
I have reason to believe these are german tanks preparing to assault our airfield and we must act immediately to stop them
MURMASHI/SHONGUI - 5 a/c
4xPe3-Bis or 4xLa5F
I dont think enemy a/c will come this way so Pe3 will be fine
Our jabo aircraft cannot do anything against axis units in the forest
therefore all we can do is protect our ground units
and attack the axis units coming from the north-west along the murmashi road
I believe the luftwaffe will not come this way so we will be ok using the heavy Pe.3-Bis
if you do find enemy fighters do not be disheartened, I shot down two BF's in one mission over the convoy flying a Pe.3
Airfield 'X' First wave - 12 a/c
2xIL2M
4xIL2M
2xLa5F
4xYak9D
This group of aircraft will attack the airfield with the intention of destroying the defending flak guns
and strafing any parked aircraft as a secondary target.
Airfield 'X' Second wave - 12 a/c
4xLi.2 - AI - This group of four will deliver the paratroopers and will be AI pilots
4xLi.2 - This group of four are deliverying heavier equipment and additional infantry/supplies
and are planned to
land on the enemy airfield
This group must be human pilots to make a quick landing
4xP47 - A long and hopefully boring mission but we cannot take any chances
so a flight of P47 will fly close escort to the human Li.2
Airfield 'X' is defended by flak guns and infantry
We will saturate the airfield with paratroopers, we will land heavy infantry weapons to assist the battle
and our T34 will arrive on the airfield, it will be a heavy hammer blow against the luftwaffe
Elsewhere in the mission we will be sending our AI bombers and recon planes as usual
