Watching the S705 "Spitfire" quickly raise its nose and disappear into the clouds, Zhou Zhihan quickly dived forward, directly pounced and fought with the two "Hurricanees", and the three Condor Legion No. 1 Squadrons who had the advantage Messerschmitt Bf109E3.
Three cute little green grasshoppers jumped in the air. Whether they were turning at a small angle or performing plane maneuvers, they had an absolute advantage, overwhelming the two slightly clumsy Hurricane fighter jets.
In the blink of an eye, the tail of another uninjured Hurricane fighter was hit by a string of machine gun bullets. Fire spread everywhere, and the skin was torn into pieces by shrapnel, revealing several fist-sized holes. The tail keel was naked and its accessories were exposed. Outside, the aircraft's performance was suddenly damaged and the situation became extremely critical.
More than a dozen propellers seemed to be inverted, making harsh sounds intertwined. The fighter planes of both sides were flying up and down in the vast sky. Tracer bullets were intertwined and fired against the background of the blue sky, just like a meteor shower falling instantly. It was very spectacular. .
The pilots of the two Hurricane fighter jets had long wanted to leave the battlefield, but they knew that instead of running away and being chased by Messerschmitt until they were unable to fight back, they would be better off fighting to the death to gain a chance of survival. In fact, they themselves knew that even if they wanted to leave at this time, they could no longer leave and could only fight to the death.
At this time, they saw a Spitfire coming from a distance to support them, and the pilots of the two Hurricane fighter jets immediately saw the light of day again.
Zhou Zhihan did not fly the plane directly away from the entangled Messerschmitt and Hurricane. That was too dangerous and might be hit by random bombs or be in danger of collision. Instead, he flew around the five British and German fighters in a plane. Circling, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
On the battlefield in China, every time Zhou Zhihan faced Japanese aircraft, it was a small versus many battle, which allowed him to develop unparalleled practical experience. He knew that his horizontal hovering would make several Messerschmitts aware of the situation at all times. He was standing with a sharp knife pressed against his back chest.
Zhou Zhihan knew that under the pressure of the S703 Spitfire, Messerschmitt would either leave the battlefield or separate one to deal with him.
Obviously, Messerschmitt, who had the upper hand, could not leave.
Sure enough, more than thirty seconds later, a small green grasshopper with the serial number L590 finally couldn't help it, gave up on the Hurricane fighter with both wings severely damaged, and rushed towards the Spitfire No. S703.
The little green grasshopper was watched eagerly, and the Spitfire serial number S703 was oppressed very uncomfortably. He was afraid that during the siege of the hurricane, if he was not careful, his tail would be bitten by this veteran Spitfire.
In this kind of plane fight, once the spitfire bites its tail, it is difficult to get rid of it.
Shoot down the S703 Spitfire first. The stupid hurricane with almost broken wings will not be able to run very far before it will be overtaken.
L590 Messerschmitt changed its attack target. The injured Hurricane immediately seized the opportunity to leave the battlefield as if it was amnesty. With thick smoke trailing on its wings, it flew towards the British mainland. He glanced at S703 Spitfire. , eyes full of gratitude.
The S703 Spitfire was eyeing the outside, which distracted the other two Messerschmitts and forced them to be on guard. The Hurricane, which had just been hit in the tail, immediately found a chance to breathe, temporarily getting rid of the danger of being shot down at any time. .
Just as the injured Hurricane fighter jet was flying towards the British mainland, the action of the S703 Spitfire made L590 Messerschmitt ecstatic. Just now, he was like a steel man because of the appearance of the S703 Spitfire. Back, now the S703 Spitfire actually broke away together with the injured Hurricane. This is really a God-given opportunity. He can add two more shot downs to his credit book. The title of ace pilot is just around the corner. He is overjoyed. The pressing rod gave chase.
After flying the injured Hurricane forward for seven or eight seconds, the pilot suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw that the S703 Spitfire was also following him, and further behind, it turned out to be the L590 Messerschmitt.
"Hell!" The injured Hurricane pilot almost jumped up in the cabin. He never expected that the Spitfire that came to support would actually follow him. It seemed that he also wanted to leave the battlefield. He roared, "Damn it, this rookie came from nowhere, are you going to kill both of us?"
S703 Spitfire, are you here to support me? You are here to harm others. You are leading Messerschmitt to chase me!
oh! You also follow me and leave the battlefield. Later, when you are chased by Messerschmitt, you slam the gas pedal and escape. My injured Hurricane, which cannot fly very fast, is like directly covering for you.
The wounded Hurricane pilot yelled angrily: "Damn it... who the hell sent this stupid rookie... Oh my god... that little grasshopper is chasing behind him... Damn it, I have to speed up... ...Oh oh... Oh my God... S703 Spitfire suddenly pulled the lever... made a 360-degree inverted flight... an incredible inverted flight... Oh God... how did he do it... Oh my God... Oh my god... He actually fired under such a huge G... Oh my God... He actually hit. He hit the poor little grasshopper accurately... The little grasshopper parachuted. ...How did this stupid rookie fly 360 degrees upside down and shoot down..."
In more than ten seconds, the S703 Spitfire flew 360 degrees upside down, shooting down the L590 Messerschmitt, and directly shocked the jaws of the British pilot who was flying the injured Hurricane and escaped from the battlefield. Just now, he was cursing the idiot who sent the rookie S703 to breathe fire, but in the blink of an eye, the rookie ate the little grasshopper behind him.
This was such a reversal that the pilot piloting the injured Hurricane sat in the cockpit, raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders: "God, what did I just say!"
too fast!
Just as the falcon was about to rise, the L590 Messerschmitt was shot down.
What a surprise!
The two Messerschmitts who unexpectedly besieged the remaining Hurricane fighter were frightened. They regarded the pilot of the S703 Spitfire as a devil and no longer wanted to fight. They quickly left the battlefield and flew towards Belgium.
Just now, they were cheering for the L590 Messerschmitt and envied it for its two victories, but they never dreamed that more than ten seconds later, the situation on the battlefield would suddenly change. The L590 was fired by the S703 with a shocking 360 Shot down with a huge turn, making them instantly determined to leave the battlefield. No one could escape from being shot down when S703 fired the 360-degree flying round shot just now.
Seeing that one of the three Messerschmitts surrounding the two Hurricanes was shot down and the other two left, the Messerschmitt that was fighting with a Spitfire at 3,500 meters in the air immediately jumped with great force. Leave the battlefield and follow the two companions.
Due to the limited radio technology at this time, the radios between fighter squadrons in various countries could not be connected. Only the radios between the pilots of each squadron were connected, but the distance was also limited, and the signals were sometimes blurred.
Therefore, the three Messerschmitts of the 1st Squadron of the Condor Legion left. The Messerschmitts who were affiliated with the wing headquarters did not know about the three aircrafts at 4,500 meters in the air.
Just before the S703 Spitfire blitzed the L590 Messerschmitt, the two Dreadnought fighters in the air at 4,300 meters were about to lose their hold, because the rear gunner of the one with the serial number B144 had very little ammunition left.
The three Messerschmitts seized the opportunity, and two of them attacked the sides of the B144 Dreadnought. The red tracer bullets left traces under the blue sky, and made several huge holes in the tail of the B144. The hole was so frightened that the rear machine gunner fired all the bullets in the last few seconds.
In fact, the three Messerschmitts had already had the opportunity to shoot down the two Dreadnought fighters, but they were a little wary of the ferocious firepower of their tail cannons, so they surrounded the Dreadnoughts first to exhaust the bullets of the Dreadnoughts, and then shot the ones without teeth and claws. tiger.
In an air battle, even a bite from the opponent's bullet can be fatal. Veterans who have rich experience and have seen many life and death fights cautiously. Only rookies who don't know the world are as good as those in movies, TV shows or propaganda. As he said, he was fearless and brave.
The British Dreadnought fighter jet has a very weird design, which is equivalent to carrying a turret on the back of the fighter jet, but let alone, it looks very intimidating.
If it was a bomber, the German pilot would notice the aircraft and fire his machine gun or cannon.
However, it was unprecedented for a fighter jet to tow a quadruple machine gun turret. Therefore, many German pilots suffered a lot in their first encounter with the Dauntless.
The Dreadnought fighter still maintains the open cockpit of ten years ago, but its flying speed is not slow. When the cold wind blows like a knife in winter, this kind of aircraft is simply a pilot's nightmare.
The Dreadnought fighter adopts a split flap design. After the barrel of the machine gun on the turret is deflected to the upper turret, it can be turned to the side and forward for shooting. The only thing the pilot can control is a machine gun under the nose.
But the Germans who fought against each other for the first time did not know that the Dreadnought pilot only had one machine gun in his hand, so he still tried to bite the tail of the Dreadnought fighter as usual, and fell into the trap of the Dreadnought fighter turret. Four 7.62mm machine guns fire at the same time, forming a fan-shaped firepower, which is very brutal and makes it difficult for the opponent to guard against it.
The pilot of a Messerschmitt judged that the B114 Dreadnought was out of bullets. He was eager to make a contribution and immediately rolled onto the left side of the belly of the Dreadnought 114. He was about to fire when he suddenly felt a fire above his head. Flashing, he knew that it was the trace of a tracer bullet, and he screamed inwardly. Just as he was about to press the lever and roll away, he heard the sound of bullets tearing apart the cockpit from above his head. In an instant, his head was hot and cold, and he saw the instrument. The plate was covered with a viscous red and white liquid.
The S705 Spitfire seemed to be swooping down from a high altitude, catching Messerschmitt off guard. The other two looked at their companions' heads being opened. For a moment, they didn't know how many Spitfires were preparing to swoop down in the air. They were frightened. The two of them had to push the throttle to the bottom and pull up the nose of the plane to prevent enemy planes from diving at high altitude. Then they made a bouncing maneuver with both offense and defense to break away, and quickly left the battlefield with several companions.
Two Spitfires from the 74th Squadron intervened and instantly shot down two Messerschmitts. Five British fighters narrowly escaped death and quickly turned around and returned.
Because there were constantly British and French warships and ships on the sea at this time, heading to the Dunkirk waters, preparing to evacuate the more than 300,000 British and French allied forces who were compressed in Dunkirk by German ground forces.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the German Air Force, Göring, took advantage of the large number of fighter planes and continuously dispatched batches of bombers to the Dunkirk waters to bomb the beachhead troops and ships in turn.
Although the number and quality of British aircraft are far inferior to those of the Germans, the Royal Air Force still takes off a squadron of fighter planes every one and a half hours to the coastal area from Boulogne to Ostend, intending to intercept the flight to London halfway. Kerke's German record.
Therefore, in the skies above the coastal area from Boulogne to Ostend, every dozen or dozens of miles, there are Allied aircraft and the German main fighter Messerschmitt engaging in a life-and-death battle.
After fierce fighting along the way, the fuel supply of Spitfires S703 and S705 no longer allowed them to move forward to fight the German planes, so the two Spitfires also turned around and returned home behind the five scarred British planes.
Captain Adolf Mullen was very excited. He had killed a Messerschmitt in that dive just now, which made his confidence unprecedentedly high. As the wingman of the S703 Spitfire today, he had gained a lot.
Suddenly, in the air five miles ahead and two kilometers below, a formation of more than a dozen He111 bombers and seven or eight Ju87 Stukas appeared.
Captain Adolf Mullen saw that there were no fighter escorts behind this group of German bombers. He was overjoyed: "Sir! Let's kill two more of them on the way back." Before he finished speaking, the other "Spitfire" fighter jet was already heading towards The German bomber formation, at the same time, the "Hurricane" fighter flying in front, which had several holes in its tail, also followed.
The two Hurricanes and Spitfires were furious at being beaten by the Messerschmitts. Several of their companions were shot down and their lives were unknown. So when they saw the German bomber formation appearing in front of them, they were sure that the Messerschmitts were not escorting them. And rushed down without hesitation.
Captain Adolf Mullen saw the Spitfires and Hurricanes rushing towards the German bomber fleet. He had no time to wait for the command of the captain. He pressed the right lever and the S705 Spitfire rolled 90 degrees sideways and rushed towards the other side of the German bomber formation. Three Fighters attacking from different directions can disrupt the air defense formation of the German bomber formation.
Zhou Zhihan had no time to stop him and saw that S705 Spitfire had already rushed out.
Zhou Zhihan looked around and saw a large number of German bombing formations in this sea area. How could they not be escorted by fighter jets?
Suddenly, Zhou Zhihan, who had excellent eyesight, discovered that behind the formation of German bombers, four or five miles above and more than 8,000 meters high in the clouds, there was a yellow light spot flashing away.
"Damn it! S705 retreat quickly." Zhou Zhihan shouted loudly, "There are a large number of Messerschmitts at an altitude of eight thousand meters behind the bomber group."
