The A214 Spitfire performed a super Immelmann maneuver and shot down two enemy planes, taking away half of the lives of two other bombers. This sudden change caught the Germans off guard. The group leader and squadron leader were killed one after another. After being shot down and killed, the group was suddenly leaderless. Everyone's emotions fluctuated greatly, and they no longer had the intention to attack the troop transport. Even so, the determined Germans still did not collapse. The remaining Messerschmitts began to organize and break up the rear. Cover the retreat of the slow-turning bombers.
Just when Captain Carl Ebichhausen was shouting "Super Immelmann" before being shot down, Zubach took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's pilot to be slightly distracted, decisively fired and hit the enemy aircraft during the dive, looking at the enemy aircraft The fire rolled towards the sea, and Zubach couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
He tasted the fruits of victory for the first time and shouted excitedly. The pilots of 303 Squadron also cheered for him. The Polish represented the Royal Air Force in his first battle and shot down the enemy's fighter plane. He avenged his country. How could he not let it go? People are excited.
Then, Skalski's A202 Hurricane and Henneberg's 223 Hurricane worked together to shoot down another Reaper that was injured and trying to escape. The Reaper's gunner successfully parachuted into the sea, and the pilot was injured and had no time to parachute. Bombers take away.
The German combat bombing formation retreated, and the Spitfires and Hurricanes of the Royal Air Force took the opportunity to catch up. They shot down another Reaper Stuka that was still heavy while escaping, and then turned around after Lieutenant Tony Eyre issued a return order.
Fighters from both sides are now on their way to Dunkirk. They are chasing too far forward. If they encounter the Messerschmitt who comes for reinforcements, the Royal Air Force, which is short of fuel and ammunition, wants to escape. All difficult.
When the Luftwaffe retreated, the four Dreadnoughts of the 303 Squadron began to attack the Ju87b1 whose wings were almost cut off and wanted to escape from the battlefield. Four Polish rear gunners frantically poured bullets at the Stuka. The Ju87b1 After being shot, the pilot successfully parachuted out and was picked up by soldiers on the troop carrier "Mona Island" and surrendered. Before the machine gunner could climb out, the bomber was buried in the sea as the bomber exploded and disintegrated.
The Polish pilots cheered again, celebrating the victory of the 303 Squadron in the first battle? A great victory? Cheering Long Live Poland. Thinking of their fallen motherland, some even choked up to tears? Teammates kept comforting them.
It wasn't until all the German planes left that the Allied officers and soldiers on the "Isle Mona" felt relieved. They finally evacuated from the hellish Dunkirk, but they didn't expect that they would be killed halfway. Encountering the bomber formation of the Condor Legion, after the escort destroyer was bombed and sunk, fortunately the fighter jets of the Royal 615th Squadron arrived and barely managed to entangle the Germans. In the end, if the 303rd Squadron had not appeared in time? This troop transport ship might have become one with the 615th Squadron. Kraut's trophy.
Of course, the soldiers on the "Mona Island" troop carrier did not know which squadron the two batches of fighter jets coming one after another belonged to.
The 615th Squadron of the Royal Air Force withdrew first. After a hard fight, their fuel barely flew back to the British mainland. Although several fighter planes were shot down and injured during the battle, they successfully protected the "Mona Island" troop transport? Made great achievements.
Since the radio signals between squadrons cannot be shared, Lieutenant Tony Eyre learned from the hand gestures that the commander of the 303 Squadron was a colonel, so he saluted with a military salute and flew back first. His team members also Everyone gave a thumbs up to 303 Squadron? Especially the A214 Spitfire? It almost single-handedly defeated the German bombing escort formation, which made them eager to know which ace pilot of the Royal Air Force this was. .
At this time, the pilots were all wearing flying caps that covered their heads, huge goggles, and voice intercoms that covered half of their faces. Unless they were on their own, it would be difficult to recognize each other's face.
After this fierce battle, the fuel consumption of the 303 Squadron was also very high, and it was not suitable to go to Dunkirk to intercept the enemy aircraft. The fuel consumption of the fighter jets during the fierce battle was several times that of usual, so Zhou Zhihan led the team to cover the return of the "Isle Mona". More than an hour later, the sun was about to set, and the "Mona Island" entered safe waters. Amidst the grateful cheers of the crew, the 303 Squadron returned to the base.
Entering the radar and radio area, Major General Parker, the commander-in-chief of the 11th Combat Group, spoke to the 303rd Squadron, congratulating them on their victory in the first battle and their great contribution.
On the way back from protecting the "Isle Mona", the 303 Squadron encountered two more hurricane fighter squadrons heading to the Dunkirk waters. Judging from the painting on their fuselages, they should be night fighting squadrons.
At dusk, the pilot light was already lit on the runway of Brighton Military Base. All the staff of the base, even the chef, ran out and stood on the edge of the runway, waiting for the squadron's triumphant return!
Turning on the night navigation lights and landing lights on the fuselage, and following the guidance of the ground tower, the fighters of the 303 Squadron landed safely one after another. When the A214 Spitfire landed steadily, everyone immediately surrounded Zhou Zhihan and cheered. Lift it up, throw it into the sky, drop it, catch it and throw it up again...
Second Lieutenant Fias Christelle smiled like a flower and gave Zhou Zhihan a big British hug. Then she announced the results of all fighter squadrons today. The 303 Squadron won the first battle and shot down seven enemy planes, ranking first. The top of all fighter squadrons, and without any casualties, General Hugh Dowding, Lieutenant General Charles, and Major General Parker all called to congratulate.
After the brief but lively celebration, all personnel at the airport immediately became busy. Mechanics and ground personnel inspected and repaired all fighter jets overnight. Several fighter jets were inevitably scratched by shrapnel when enemy planes exploded during the battle. Fortunately, all of them were injured. Not heavy. The skin on the left wing of the A214 Spitfire was torn to pieces by shrapnel. It looked very seriously injured. In fact, except for the navigation light on the wing tip being smashed, there was no serious problem. The skin was replaced. , has no impact on the performance of the fuselage.
Since it is now a wartime situation and the squadron is ready to attack at any time, Zhou Zhihan prohibits drinking. Those who want to drink should bear with it first. When the squadron takes turns, everyone drinks together and celebrates.
After finishing dinner, he returned to his room and took a comfortable hot bath and took a nap. He heard the sound of a car horn outside the room. When Zhou Zhihan rushed out, Second Lieutenant Fias Christelle was already driving in the car. He waited outside the door for a long time: "If you don't come out in another minute, I'm going to drag you out of the bathtub myself."
When Pheas Christelle spoke, she deliberately straightened her bulging military uniform, a smile formed at the corner of her mouth, and the flirtatious look at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows directly touched the secret itch deep in the hearts of the opposite sex.
"That's a lot of information for you to say!" Zhou Zhihan jumped on the open-top jeep, "You drove to pick me up, didn't you want to invite me to the bar to celebrate today's victory? However, I have just issued a ban on alcohol. "
"What a beautiful idea!" Fias Christelle raised her pretty lips, rolled her eyes, her charm reached the extreme, put the gear in gear, released the clutch and drove towards the airport of the base, "The Air Force Headquarters called, General Dowding Let you go to an important meeting and we will fly over to the airport in a Spitfire."
Zhou Zhihan: "Me and you?"
Fias Christelle rolled her eyes again: "Then who do you want to date?"
Zhou Zhihan cursed that this kind of flying method would be difficult for even experienced pilots to control.
On the way to the airport, Fias Christelle told Zhou Zhihan that this afternoon near Dunkirk, the squadron leader of the 74th Squadron, White, piloted a Spitfire and shot down a German Henschel Hs126 Observer. When the enemy plane exploded, shrapnel hit the radiator and fuel tank of White's plane, forcing him to land the plane at the nearby Calaismac Airport after running out of fuel. At this time, Calais Airport was about to be occupied by the advancing German forces. The army captured.
Since White's Spitfire was completely out of bullets and carried no bombs, it ran out of fuel and could not ignite or blow up the Spitfire. In order to prevent the Spitfire from falling into the hands of the Germans and revealing the aircraft's performance, the Royal Air Force decided to To conduct a quick rescue operation, tonight's meeting will be to decide whether to send night fighter jets to rescue immediately.
