Looking at the fighter jets from the ground, they look like huge monsters. In fact, in the vast sky, from a few kilometers away, the fighter jets are only the size of mosquitoes and flies. A few random clouds floating in the sky can hide more than a dozen fighter jets. The reason why Zhou Zhihan can If he sees enemy planes in the distance, it's because he is a time traveler.
At this time, the British Air Force was in the air and hiding behind the clouds with its back to the sun. The German Air Force could not detect it at all. Zhou Zhihan's transparent flight helmet could clearly interpret the position of each German aircraft.
In the air battlefield during World War II, early detection of the enemy was the number one weapon for winning in air combat. Zhou Zhihan discovered that the German air force was amazingly powerful in the air, but the German commander did not know how many British aircraft were in the air, so Adolf Garland Germany's Condor Legion has been standing still as a backup.
The British Air Force was the first to seek change.
Fighters No. 1 to 15 resolutely carried out the chief instructor's order, immediately broke away from the Lufber circle defensive formation and flew towards the deep water area. Their intention was very obvious, which was to attack the German Stuka bombers and protect the surface ships.
The remaining fighters retracted their defensive formations, fought against more than thirty Messerschmitts, and held their opponents back until they left.
Immediately, the Messerschmitt, which was above the Bf 110 fighter, rolled down from both sides and drove away British fighters No. 1-15.
The Spitfire and the Hurricane performed a backward roll maneuver and got rid of the Messerschmitt's medium-altitude small-angle dive. They took advantage of their small-radius turns in plane combat to fight with the Messers at low altitudes, preventing them from returning to the Bf 110 fighter. A three-dimensional offensive square formation is formed above.
This change indeed caused a chain reaction. Fighters 41-50 seized the opportunity to dive from the air. When they were approaching the Destroyer, they quickly flipped 90 degrees downwards and rolled onto the lower side of the Destroyer Bf 110's rear machine gunner. Where the firepower could not be controlled, the Rabbit Falcon killed three of them in one fell swoop. The other two were injured and exited the battlefield in billowing smoke. They were shot down by Allied ground artillery fire before they had flown very far.
This sudden change scared the remaining Bf 110 Destroyers into scattering. What they feared most was being attacked below the abdomen. It was obvious that in less than a minute, several of their companions died or jumped out of fear. He broke them and kept cursing as they scattered, why those damn escort fighters in the sky hadn't arrived yet.
The fire support of the low-flying Stuka bombers was destroyed, and the entire three-dimensional offensive system was broken. The British ground artillery fire and various artillery guns on the ship, which were not suppressed by fighter jets, immediately launched a counterattack, forcing Death to pull up into the air. , the accuracy of bomb delivery dropped suddenly.
Sure enough, the German 51st and 52nd Squadrons could only dedicate most of their forces to attack the No. 41-50 fighter planes. The air battle scene suddenly fell into chaos. All British aircraft did not fight with the Messerschmitts, but actively looked for opportunities to attack. Although the Stuka, the god of death, can easily get its tail bitten by enemy planes, the British pilots are very smart. Whenever they are about to be bitten to death by the Messerschmitt, they fly towards the British ship, so the ship The sailors on board fired ten thousand bullets with great tacit understanding, intercepting the Messerschmitt pursuers from behind.
The British Navy understands this principle. Whenever a British aircraft is cornered by Messerschmitt and comes to seek help, the sailors will not hesitate to use ammunition to cooperate with them to stop it.
Seeing that the dominant Messerschmitts and Destroyers were unable to take down the Royal Air Force, which was at a disadvantage in terms of fighter numbers, the 9th and 21st squadrons of the JG52 wing could not sit still and finally joined the battlefield.
Fighter planes No. 41-50 were besieged, and one of them was shot down. The pilot had no time to parachute, and the plane plunged into the water. Allied soldiers around him rushed to rescue him.
The Royal Air Force was at an absolute disadvantage, and several fighter jets were hit one after another. Fortunately, a large number of artillery fires from ships provided fire support. The remaining pilots gritted their teeth and persisted. There were enemy planes in all directions, and it was difficult to escape even if they wanted to. Get out, all the pilots have now figured out that the so-called "Paula" operation southward by the Germans is a false intelligence, in order to lure British fighter planes to come and be surrounded and annihilated.
The Battle of Dunkirk is coming to an end, and the Germans are not fools. The Royal Air Force has fallen into a trap this time.
Seeing that our own 40 fighter jets were about to lose their hold, fighter jets No. 51 to No. 60 appeared from the sky and attacked the God of Death Stuka with all their strength to reduce the pressure on the besieged companions.
The air battle scene was chaotic and hot, with bullets flying everywhere in the air. The German army's trinity attack was completely disrupted, but they still firmly occupied the air superiority with their large fleet of aircraft.
The Stuka bombers continued to scream and drop bombs. Each shell landed in the dense crowd, causing a bloody storm. Its screams were like the scythe of death, ruthlessly harvesting Allied soldiers on the beach.
The Allies had no way to retreat. All soldiers knew that today was the last day to escape. Facing the powerful fleet of the German Air Force, they showed no fear. The soldiers on the beach resisted desperately, and the soldiers waiting to board the ship regarded death as if they were home, despite the bombs around them. Falling, this scene is shocking.
Watching planes roaring on the beach, bombs screaming, and blood flying everywhere, Zhou Zhihan still held tightly to the 30 fighter jets in his hands and would not enter the battlefield until the critical moment.
Adolf Galland was in the air, looking at the 10 British fighter planes swooping down to attack the Stuka. His mustache turned up, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that the British had a backup plan. Until now, that The A214 Spitfire has not yet appeared, which shows that the British still have backup in the air.
After many battles, Garland knew that this Chinese pilot was very cunning and always had a backup plan, suddenly appearing at critical moments to change the situation of the battle.
Adolf Garland looked at the air battle scene. The British Royal Air Force participated in the battle with 50 fighter jets, which was almost the most in the history of this Dunkirk battle.
According to relevant intelligence statistics, after the consumption of the war, the total number of British air forces is limited. Now in most cases, one or two squadrons jointly perform interception missions. Very rarely, four squadrons appear at the same time. Adolf Galland judged that China At most, he still has one back-up, and he will force the Chinese to come out now: "Order, the two squadrons of the JG51 Wing stop detouring to the rear of the British army, and immediately participate in the attack to draw out the last British chess piece."
Seeing the two Messerschmitt squadrons flying towards both sides suddenly turning into an attack, Zhou Zhihan thought for a while and guessed Adolf Galland's intention.
Now, the time for the decisive battle has arrived. Zhou Zhihan gave up looking for Adolf Garand. The German army's combat system has been formed. Shooting down one Adolf Garand will not change the trend of the entire battlefield. What he has to do now is to personally lead the charge. By luring all the Condor Legion and Garland down, whether this battle can be turned into a victory depends on this.
"Fighters No. 61-80 continue to ambush at high altitudes with their backs to the sun. When the 60 fighter jets of the Condor Legion join the battlefield, you will follow my order and launch a dive attack again."
Zhou Zhihan said, pushing the control lever forward, pulling back the shutoff valve, and the A214 Spitfire took the lead in diving downward.
"Fighters No. 11-20 dive down with me. Major Malan, the 20 of you are paying close attention to the Vulture Legion in the air. If they make any movements, report to me immediately."
"clear!"
Major Malan took over to check the enemy situation in the air and answered loudly.
The A214 Spitfire dived downwards. Suddenly, another Spitfire fighter overtook the A214 Spitfire and pounced downwards like a meteor. This fighter's downward pounce made even Zhou Zhihan feel refreshed. .
It turned out to be the famous legless pilot, Major Douglas Patton.
Major Douglas Patton passed the A214 Spitfire at lightning speed. He turned around and yelled: "Commander-in-Chief, everyone says you are the best ace pilot in the Allies. I, Patton, was the first to refuse. Today, the two of us will compete to see who can shoot down the aircraft." There are many enemy planes. Whoever loses will be treated to a drink and a visit to the women's branch. Do you dare?"
As the commander of the Tamir Wing, Major Douglas Patton knew the importance of morale. Now at the critical moment, he knew how to improve morale.
Sure enough, Major Douglas Patton's strange scream immediately aroused the fighting spirit of all the pilots. Everyone shouted to throw away their fear and dived down together.
"Okay!" Zhou Zhihan immediately followed Major Douglas Patton's T616 Spitfire, "Let's compete to see who can kill more enemy planes. Who loses? Tonight, we invite all the brothers to go to the largest female aircraft. Live happily in the branch courtyard."
"Whoever loses, please invite all the brothers who participated in the battle today to go to the largest women's branch and have a good time. You will not come back until you are drunk." Major Douglas Patton deliberately issued a series of obscene //**** to let the pilots relax and relax. Emotion, "No one in the sky or on the bed can be stronger than me. Even if I don't have legs, I can scare the Germans and make those little sheep submissive..."
Major Douglas Patton is a famous legless pilot. He is strong, competitive, rebellious, has superb flying skills, and likes to show off. While doing a low-altitude stunt, the plane crashed because the tip of the left wing touched the ground. , he also lost his legs and lost the qualification to fly.
After the French War, RAF pilots were unable to make ends meet, so Patton was fortunate enough to return to the Air Force. He fought bravely and soon conquered Major General Parker and promoted him to wing commander.
Douglas Patton also likes to drink and hang out with women in the ward, which is also a common habit of some current pilots.
Pilots are a very dangerous branch of the military and are not for the faint of heart. Every time he comes back from an air battle, Major Douglas Patton will find a place to relax and release his nervousness.
"A214 Spitfire indeed appeared."
Adolf Galland was hovering in the air, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the Spitfire deputy A214. He showed a proud smile. The Chinese finally played the last card in their hand: "Attention everyone in the JG26 wing, we are now Advance immediately and go down to encircle and annihilate five British squadrons."
"Commander in Chief!" Major Malan shouted with a telescope in his hand. "As soon as you dived, the Vulture Legion appeared from a few kilometers away."
