When all the German fighter planes had retreated and there were still more than a dozen Allied fighter planes over the Dunkirk beach, Major Adolf Garland dared to come alone. This courage alone was worthy of Zhou Zhihan's admiration.
And Adolf Garland also knew that in this situation that was beneficial to the British army, the A214 Spitfire would never open fire rashly and break the current situation.
Adolf Garland is still flying a Messerschmitt Bf109E3 fighter, with the serial number G104. Judging from this, the Bf109E4 flown by Captain Karl Meyer, the king of the day, should be the latest upgraded Messerschmitt. It is currently in the initial stage of finalization and has not yet been equipped with a large number of troops. This fighter will be equipped with a large number of frontline troops within the next month and play the leading role in the British air battle.
The two planes were flying head-on on two tracks at the same altitude.
Adolf Galland flew from south to north.
Zhou Zhihan flies from north to south.
When the two planes are 400 meters apart, they are flying.
The visual distance between the wings of the two aircraft is about 10 meters, which is a very dangerous distance.
Getting closer.
The G104 Messerschmitt kept squeezing towards the A214's fire-breathing route.
Is Adolf Galland here for a demonstration? Zhou Zhihan's face remained unchanged, his eyes were as calm as ancient wells, and he held the control stick firmly. A214 continued to move forward along its own trajectory without giving in at all.
The soldiers on the beach were busy retreating, and no one noticed the silent battle taking place in the air.
The two machines are 200 meters apart.
The distance between the wings of the two planes was squeezed by Garland to only 5 meters.
Spitfire A214 remained unmoved.
Adolf Garland's resolute mouth, thick eyebrows and deep eye sockets could not hide his murderous eyes like cold stars. He slightly pushed the left rudder with his left foot, and the G104 Messerschmitt continued to squeeze to the left little by little. In the past, the milky white condensation trail at the tail of the plane curved like a snake, pressing towards the path of the A214's fire.
Zhou Zhihan's eyes were like mirrors, without any ripples. He held the control stick in his hand, and his trajectory remained unchanged. The milky white contrail left behind the fuselage was like a straight line drawn by a ruler.
The two machines are 150 meters apart.
The maximum distance between the wings of two aircraft is 1 meter.
Zhou Zhihan could clearly see the Mickey Mouse holding a huge pistol in front of the lower right side of the nose cab of the G104 Messerschmitt.
Perhaps just to be more intimidating, looking over from Zhou Zhihan's position, he was facing the black muzzle of Mickey Mouse's gun.
Adolf Galland's sharp eyes also saw the domineering fangs in front of the cockpit of the A214 Spitfire.
The G104 Messerschmitt continued to squeeze towards the A214's fire path.
The A214 Spitfire still turned a blind eye and continued to move straight forward along the track.
Adolf Galland's eyes narrowed and he continued to push the left rudder slightly. The G104 Messerschmitt continued to show snake-like pressure? There was anger in his eyes and he stared at the A214 Spitfire. He used his peripheral vision to judge the flight of the two aircraft. trace distance.
Both planes flew toward each other at the slowest speed, but the speed of approach was extremely fast.
80 meters.
Messerschmitt No. G104 is still pressing.
The wings are 0.5 meters apart.
The A214 spitting fire was like a sharp arrow shot, its trajectory remained unchanged? Ignoring the existence of the G104 Messerschmitt.
Adolf Galland's eyebrows shrank, his eyes were as sharp as a knife? He left his left foot off the left rudder? Facing his own constant snake-like pressure, the oncoming A214 Spitfire remained unchanged. If he stepped on it again, If the rudder was turned on, the wings of the two planes might collide? He didn't want to crash on the Dunkirk beach full of British troops and end up like Moldes.
But Adolf Galand would not give way. Before the two planes were about to stagger, he maintained the course with his right hand, raised his left hand, with his index finger facing forward and his thumb raised, and made a gun-shooting gesture toward Zhou Zhihan.
Suddenly, fear appeared in Adolf Galland's eyes, because in the electric light of the two planes about to cross, the A214 Spitfire suddenly stepped on the rudder, and its wings squeezed towards him.
Adolf Galand reacted extremely quickly? In a flash of lightning? He quickly pressed the lever right? While the Messerschmitt G104 rolled sideways at 90 degrees, he felt a slight shock on the fuselage, and something seemed to rub against the belly of the fuselage. Suddenly, there was a piercing scream of metal scraping.
"Uh-huh!"
The two planes passed each other in an instant, and wind traces could almost be seen on the wings on both sides.
The left wing tip of the A214 Spitfire wiped out a ball of sparks on the belly of the G104 Messerschmitt and continued to fly forward.
The G104 Messerschmitt pulled back the control stick, drew a U-shaped turning arc, and flew on the same plane as the A214 Spitfire on both tracks.
Adolf Galland's entire back was soaked with cold sweat. He never dreamed that the A214 Spitfire would squeeze in at the moment when the two planes met. In just a moment, he was completely at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
This man is the empire's greatest enemy and must be eliminated as soon as possible. Adolf Galland turned to look at Zhou Zhihan, but the other person seemed to know that he would look over and had already made a move to cut his throat and was waiting for him.
Adolf Galland gritted his teeth, raised his moustache in a straight line, glared at Zhou Zhihan with lightning eyes, pushed the throttle forward and flew away quickly.
Two hours later, the show will start again.
After watching Adolf Galland leave, leaving several fighter planes to assist in the retreat over Dunkirk, Zhou Zhihan also quickly returned to the British mainland. Since the Germans abided by the Knight Agreement and retreated, they would not return within the time stipulated in the agreement.
Just because Germany is a proud nation, its soldiers have an iron will and would rather wait two hours to make a comeback.
Even so, the anti-aircraft guns of all the ground forces in Dunkirk were still on full alert. Changes in the situation on the battlefield often happened. Even if the Germans returned treacherously, they could withstand it for a while!
Since the Allies were well prepared and all ships were quickly in place, the retreat was tense, fast and orderly. Watching the A214 Spitfire flying over from a low altitude, the Allied soldiers cheered everywhere they went: "Long live China!"
The A214 Spitfire returned quickly and was still a few kilometers away from the British coastline. Zhou Zhihan saw that the coast of the English Channel was full of British people. Many people waved the British flag and the Blue Sky and White Sun flag to welcome the hero's triumphant return!
Just now, the news came that the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force piloted the A214 Spitfire and shot down the German one-day ace Captain Carl Meyer, and the whole British country was excited.
The Chinese won two hours of safe time for the Dunkirk evacuation, and people immediately rushed to tell each other. Some people suggested that in order to express their gratitude, the British should donate generously to the Chinese people in the war of resistance!
As a result, the British people spontaneously organized donation activities for China's Anti-Japanese War cause. (1)
The A214 Spitfire flew directly back to the 208th Squadron Airfield of the 11th Fighter Group, which was only a few kilometers away from Bentley Abbey.
When we landed at the airport, no one waved flags to welcome us, because everyone knew that the battle in two hours would be more dangerous and there was no time to celebrate.
The Germans will never give up.
With Göring's pride and arrogance, he would definitely send more fighter planes to attack Dunkirk in a massive way to save the face of the defeat just now.

(1) During the Anti-Japanese War, British people indeed initiated charitable donations to China.
