"I'll stay and help you, sir!"
Lieutenant Allen said loudly, he was very excited to shoot down two Messerschmitts in a row. He also saw two enemy planes flying from the south of the airport.
"Alan, you cover the Texans' retreat. There will be a fierce battle on the way forward. I will blitz these two Messerschmitts and I will catch up with you soon. Quick, quick, quick!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lieutenant Johnson Allen pressed the lever and looked back at the Mark Airport, which was bursting with explosions and burning with raging fire. He accelerated to catch up with the Texans and broke through towards the Calais Port.
Blitz!
What the commander said was too domineering.
But now the three men had no doubt that the commander would blitz the enemy plane.
The A214 Spitfire turned at a small angle and flew towards the two pursuing Messerschmitts on the same trajectory.
The two Emilys were originally preparing to land. From a distance, they saw that the Mark Airport had become a sea of flames. There were three Allied planes flying above the airport towards the port of Calais. They immediately knew what was going on and formed a two-finger formation. He sped up and chased after him.
Zhou Zhihan put his thumb on the machine gun firing button. Now we must fight quickly!
There are still 200 meters to go on both sides.
The A214 Spitfire blasted out a large deflection angle shot, blasting out a fan-shaped bullet trail. The tracer bullets and high-explosive incendiary bombs hit the target as if they had eyes. They flew towards each other on the same flight path. As the lead aircraft's The Messerschmitt then "bounced" off with a lever.
"boom!"
The Messerschmitt, who served as the lead aircraft, was hit and exploded before he could fire. The aircraft rolled and fell towards Mark Airport, which was burning with raging fire and explosions.
The Messerschmitt who served as the wingman never imagined that his lead aircraft would be shot down before it could fire. In panic, he hurriedly pressed the stick to avoid the debris attack caused by the explosion of the lead aircraft. When he turned around, he had already lost After seeing the trace of the Spitfire, his right eye suddenly jumped, and he saw red raindrops jumping in the mirror. He yelled, "What the hell? He appeared behind me too fast!" Before he had time to react, he felt The whole fuselage trembled? Suddenly the cabin was filled with the smell of gasoline.
"What the hell? I was hit, I parachuted." As he said, the pilot pushed open the cabin door, stood on the cockpit seat with his legs, bent his legs and kicked upwards. The person had escaped from the cabin, and just opened the parachute. The aircraft roared and rolled past, "Damn British guy..."
The A214 Spitfire saw a German parachuting in flight and quickly rolled to avoid it.
"Damn it? It's the British guy's A214 Spitfire." The pilot shouted? Then the next second his voice turned into fear, "Damn it, the whole airport is in flames, where should I float... Help... My parachute was deformed by the air current and I am about to fall... God, please help me... Damn it, I am falling. God... Help, ahhhh..."
Two minutes later, the A214 Spitfire caught up with the Texan? Looking back, he saw that the Mark Airport he left behind was destroyed, with only thick smoke and billowing fire left. If the Germans wanted to use this airport, it would take at least half a month. It takes time to recover.
The rising sun jumps out of the sea level. The sky is blue, with white clouds of different shapes. Dozens of kilometers away is the blue sea. As long as you break through to the sea, you can meet the Allied forces coming to intercept the German aircraft. All British fighter planes see Texas. Everyone here will come forward to cover. This is an order from the Air Force Headquarters.
If this rescue is successful, it will greatly improve the morale of the Royal Air Force and let the pilots know that no matter where they crash, as long as they are still alive, the Royal Air Force will send people to rescue them.
A month ago, when facing Messerschmitt on the battlefield in France, the Royal Air Force had lost more than 200 Light Hurricanes, and more than 100 bombers and Dreadnought fighters. The heavy blow had demoralized the air force. The morale of the military was unstable, and now faced with the aggressive German Air Force, this successful rescue was a textbook morale boost.
Three planes flew over the Allied defenders of Calais, and the Allied forces were locked in a bitter battle.
At dawn, the German army launched an attack. The 10th Armored Division launched a fierce attack from the north of Calais. They received orders to capture Calais as soon as possible and advance quickly towards Dunkirk.
The British 30th Infantry Division received orders to resist to the death, defend Calais, and not to retreat.
The Queen Victoria Rifles, which was fortified on the west side of Calais, engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Germans. Viewed from the air, the battlefield was extremely tragic.
Last night, the British 1st Armored Division sent 21 Vickers MKVI light tanks and 27 A9A10A13 cruise tanks to attack the back of the German 1st Tank Division. The two sides launched a tank battle, which greatly eased the defense of Calais. huge pressure.
Under the sun, the pyramid-shaped gate of the Calais Castle can be seen more than 20 kilometers away. The city of Calais has been turned into a pile of ruins, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. The flames of war are spread throughout the city of Calais, and thick smoke is billowing everywhere. , the residents of the town had already fled, and the ground was covered with corpses and broken guns and weapons.
The city of Calais is the last resort of the Allied forces in Dunkirk. Once it is broken through by the Germans, Dunkirk will be attacked again, so the British army continues to send more troops here.
After escaping from Mark Airport, Warrant Officer Al Dill slowed down the Texas man to 280 kilometers per hour. He could feel the fuselage shaking violently. It was impossible for this kind of training aircraft to maintain a high-speed flight for a long time.
The A214 Spitfire flew at the rear, rolling from time to time to check whether there were any enemy planes chasing behind him.
Suddenly, a large group of black spots like flies appeared in the lake-blue sky about twenty or thirty kilometers ahead to the left.
"Significant enemy situation found on our left."
Zhou Zhihan shouted and quickly took out the telescope.
"At least twenty Messerschmitts took off from the airport in Pinn and flew in the direction of Dunkirk. If we continued forward, we would be in danger of being surrounded by enemy aircraft groups."
The rescue team was able to escape unscathed at Mark Airport just now. The rescue team relied on three points of luck and five points of luck, plus catching the Germans by surprise. Faced with the well-prepared 20 Messerschmitts, , Zhou Zhihan found it difficult to escape by himself, let alone protect the Texans.
Mark Airport is between Dunkirk and Calais, the closest flight to the UK mainland from Calais, but will definitely encounter the Messerschmitt cluster.
"Sir, if we go from Calais to the port of Dover, we will be besieged by Messerschmitt!" Major White was sitting in the back cabin of the training aircraft, holding a telescope in his hand, and saw the aircraft coming from the left side of Calais. The Messerschmitt fleet, he trembled inwardly. Facing this large fleet, the Texan trainer aircraft had no hope of survival.
Zhou Zhihan looked at the waters of Calais Port. There was not a single allied aircraft around. If he forced himself to fly forward, he would be fighting alone.
Since the rescue team could see Messerschmitt in the distance, Messerschmitt's pilot must have been a fool and had already seen the rescue team.
The flames and thick smoke billowing from Mark Airport can be seen dozens of miles away. Now the three planes of the rescue team have become a thorn in the side of the Germans. Everyone knows that the British sent Texans to fly to Mark Airport. To fight.
"Let's abandon Calais Port and fly diagonally towards Dunkirk, and then fly towards Ramsgate Airport. On this route, there will be many Royal Air Forces coming to intercept German planes."
Zhou Zhihan made a decisive decision to change the course and first get rid of the Messerschmitt group pressing from the left.
