310 Damn, it's No. 214 Spitfire
Judging from the momentum of the Luftwaffe, I want to achieve my best in one battle!
This group of bombers is mainly led by the god of death Stuka. Behind the formation are He51 fighter bombers that can fight and attack the coastline, and are equipped with at least 150 or 60.
At this point, Zhou Zhihan understood the German tactics. He first attacked Dunkirk Beach with bombers and led out Allied fighters. Then a large number of Messerchmitts rushed to encircle and annihilate them. Finally, the bombers came on stage and bombed them with seamless carpets to turn over the people and sand on Dunkirk Beach several times and dry them.
It would be even better if the Royal British fighters did not set up heavy defenses on the beach. Bombers and fighters rushed forward and everything would be solved in just over ten minutes.
It can be seen that Goering has changed his original plan to use Dunkirk Beach to erode the Royal Air Force little by little, and wants to annihilate the Allies waiting to retreat on Dunkirk Beach in one fell swoop and force Churchill to negotiate peace.
Compared with the dull British bomber formation, the German bomber formation has a compact flight formation, which makes it difficult for opponents to attack. Such a huge aircraft group has amazing firepower in joint defense and can smooth out a hill.
After quietly waiting for the bomber group to fly over, the a214 fire broke out of the clouds, made a big circle at the fastest speed, avoided Messerchmit's reconnaissance range, and then flew towards the Dunkirk waters.
Flying back over Dunkirk's waters, the first German bombers had not arrived yet, and the 304th Squadron was still hovering over Dunkirk's beach.
The Knight Agreement has passed, and the German ground troops on the periphery have begun to attack, with the sound of artillery rumbling.
The Dunkirk Beach was still peaceful. The last few troop transport ships arrived, knowing that the deadline of the Knight Agreement had passed, the crew looked at the air vigilantly, hurriedly filled with people, and accelerated to leave the beach. After a few minutes, the broken port returned to its former peace.
This sea surface is full of wreckage of hulls, with oil and broken wood on the sea surface, half-sinking boats, floating loose ropes, clothes soaked in the sea water, and tumbling bodies, internal organs, and fish are sometimes rolling and jumping on the water surface...
Seeing the peace in the air and having spent many days in frightened, the British and French soldiers began to have fun in pain. Some played football on the beach, some were bathing in the waves without caring about the dead bodies in the water, and some were smoking, playing cards and gambling. The commanders ignored this. Only God could know whether they could breathe the breath of the sea in the next hour after this moment of peace.
Zhou Zhihan first used a telephone to inform the five "Lesand"-style reconnaissance contact aircraft arranged between the Dunkirk Sea and the British coast, which were specially responsible for contacting and calling. The Texans immediately reported this shocking information to the Royal Air Force Command located in the suburbs of Bentley Monastery.
The "Lesander" type reconnaissance contact aircraft is the best target aircraft in Messer-Chmitt in the air in France. From the initial 169 aircraft, there are only 50 aircraft left.
General Dowding was also shocked after receiving the notice. Knowing that Zhou Zhihan had saved Britain again, he immediately ordered the fighter planes arranged at several coastal airports to quickly take off and fight in the Dunkirk waters.
Zhou Zhihan used a telephone to order 24 fighters from 303 and 304 Squadrons to switch positions with each other. The hurricane fighters from 303 Squadrons were responsible for intercepting the first batch of German bombers at low altitudes. The spitfire of 304 Squadrons was ambushed at high altitudes. There was no order, so don't attack.
Zhou Zhihan once again told the team members not to confront the enemy planes head-on later. When the enemy is too many and we are few, use the delay strategy to fight and run away, cooperate with ground artillery fire to block the enemy planes' bombing and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
He had a head-on fight with more than 150 Messerschmitts, and the 303 and 304 squadrons could not support the arrival of the reinforcements. Zhou Zhihan would not let them make unnecessary sacrifices.
Now is not the time to be a personal hero. Hundreds of fighters are fighting in melee. Even if you are the top ace, you might hit the gun of a rookie.
These days, these two squadrons have performed well. They are brave and tenacious, and their record exceeds all RAF fighter squadrons. Therefore, the fighter configurations of the two squadrons have been correspondingly improved by the Air Force headquarters. All 303 squadrons are equipped with hurricanes, and 304 squadrons are equipped with Spitfire.
The ground anti-aircraft gun scouts on the ground outside the beach first discovered a group of bombers flying from the south, and an alarm sounded on the ground.
Hearing a harsh alarm, the soldiers of the Allied soldiers who were making fun of suffering on the beach were so scared that they all lay on the beach.
After suffering a few days ago, the soldiers discovered that the soft sand on the beach was like a cushion, which could absorb most of the explosive power of the bomb. As long as they lay flat on the beach, even if the bomb dropped by the German bomber exploded beside them, it would only shake it. Therefore, they quickly mastered this good way to escape from the rain of bombs.
This is the method that greatly reduced the casualties of the Allied forces, so that when Germany sent leaflets saying that it would turn over the sand on Dunkirk beach several times, the Allied soldiers smiled and picked up the leaflets as toilet paper: "Mad, the German bomber, just flipped the shit we pulled out with sand..."
In the distance, the Allied anti-aircraft artillery that was deployed on the outermost periphery had opened fire, which indicated that the first eight Stuka bombers attacked had entered the Allied air defense positions.
"No. 1-4 of the 303 Squadron left the line and followed me. I dived from high altitude to attract Stuka's attention. You formed two dual-machine formations and dived from both sides to attack.
We must dive to increase the speed, build up energy, quickly occupy the space, quickly hit the enemy, pull up and escape, because Messerchmitt is behind the bomber and will come to escort at any time.
Remember, don’t fight in a relationship. After a blow, you will immediately lift up and leave regardless of whether you hit it or not, and make sure that you have not been bitten by other enemy aircraft, and then decide whether to continue the attack.”
"yes!"
Hurricanes No. 1-4 of Squadron 303 promised to leave the squadron, form two dual-machine formations, and follow Zhou Zhihan to climb to the high altitude.
Zhou Zhihan led four hurricane fighters to fight the God of Death, and the remaining eight hurricanes also rose into the sky, and were still hovering over the beach, preparing to fight against the second group of Death Stuka.
The 303 and 304 squadrons met such a large fleet for the first time, and they were more nervous. They had seen the strength of the Luftwaffe.
Seeing that the ground anti-aircraft guns fired, the first batch of eight German Stuka bombers changed their previous slowness and quickly pulled the ceiling to a maximum of 8,000 meters, easily avoiding half of the Allied forces' firepower. Their goal was not to fight with these ground anti-aircraft guns.
During the acceleration and breakthrough, a Stuka's wing was hit by shrapnel from the fire, and returned with thick smoke. After the remaining seven broke through the Allied defensive positions, they slowed down again and continued to fly slowly like flying ducks in the air.
There is no one in the world who is not afraid of death, even soldiers who are obeying orders as their duty.
Even though they knew they were seven bomber pilots who went to the beach to lure the enemy, they really wanted to be hit by Allied artillery fire and return to the wings like the bomber just now, but only God could know where the damn artillery fire on the ground would hit.
Seven rear-mounted machine gunners held the movable 7.92mm mg-17 machine gun, looking at the turn of the head and return. For the first time in their lives, their eyes were filled with envy of watching others being hit.
The rapid climb of the a214 fire spitting up to occupy a high position. When it came to five thousand meters, it soon saw seven Stukas coming and the one dragging black smoke from the battlefield in the distance.
Zhou Zhihan had excellent eyesight and could see the second batch of eight Stukas seven or eight kilometers away without a telescope, but he did not see the escort Messerchmitt.
The a214 Spitfire continued to climb upwards. Zhou Zhihan judged that one hundred and fifty Messerschmitts must have entered the altitude. This is the most basic tactic of German aircraft. First, occupy high altitudes and high positions. When the enemy is discovered, dive immediately to increase the speed and attack quickly.
The fire rose to seven thousand meters or eight thousand meters, and finally saw Messerchmitt flying like locusts about fifteen kilometers ahead.
A214 Spitfire deliberately exposed itself, first rushing from the left front direction of the Stuka aircraft group: "Hurtling 1, 2, 4, I will attack first, and the bomber formation will immediately shrink and concentrate firepower. I will find a way to disperse them. You will specialize in picking up and pulling them up and leaving immediately. Don't be greedy for merit and be left behind by the enemy aircraft, because once we launch an attack, Messer-Schmitt will arrive in a few minutes."
Seven Stukas immediately discovered the Spitfire fighter jets dived from the air. One of the rear machine gunners saw the Spitfire with a telescope in his hand. He shouted: "Unfortunately, it's the A214 Spitfire!"
"Damn...why did you meet him the first one?"
The team leader shouted because his teammates cheered: "Well, tighten the formation and concentrate the firepower. As long as we can knock down this damn A214 fire, we can return immediately and go back to celebrate..."
The distance is four hundred meters.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
A214 fire shot a point in the dive.
“Bangbangbang…”
Seven Stuka machine gunners immediately fought back together, and seven flame tongues formed a barrage to block the A214 fire downward attack path.
Seeing that the seven flame tongues were about to lick the nose of the fire No. A214 fire No. A214 fire suddenly rolled on the side 90 degrees, drawing a semicircular arc downward in the air, floating to the abdomen of the god of death like a ghost.
Chapter completed!
