Three hundred and eighty-two Garland wants to breathe fire
Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Garland continued.
"Also, no matter what we do or what we do, we will be criticized, which is not good for the morale of the pilot.
Of course, fighter escorts to bombers are also necessary, but bomber pilots always want to see that their formations are tightly surrounded by escort fighters, which in their opinion can bring them great safety.
But in fact, this escort tactic makes our fighter jets very passive and close-fitting, allowing us fighter pilots to defend passively and cannot exert their active offensive spirit, resulting in us being able to passively fight against the British guys who came to expel each time.
The magic weapon for fighter pilots to win is to be the first to discover the enemy and carry out the strike immediately. It is not until the enemy comes to fight back. This will only cause us to lose the initiative in the face of the fire."
After Adolf Garland finished speaking, Gorene stood up affectionately. He knew that during this period, most fighter jets were used for escort, which reduced the pilot's performance. Many ambition pilots' dream of becoming a trump card was postponed.
In fact, no pilot is willing to escort the bomber. What pilots want is honor. Only with honor can one have status, money, and beauty, and honor requires them to shoot down more enemy aircraft.
Goring walked to the love general, stretched out his big palm and patted Garland's arm: "I know that fighter pilots like to fly over enemy targets and hunt the enemy freely, but this will make the bomber lose protection and be attacked by the British.
You also know that during this period, the Empire's bomber troops suffered heavy losses, and the Head of State was very annoyed by this. We have the best and most advanced fighter jets in the world, but we failed to protect the bombers and eliminate the British Air Force.
So your fighter jets have to protect the bomber next mission.
Fighters can destroy enemy aircraft, and if you want to win the final victory, you cannot do without bombers.
Of course, the Head of State knows that you have done a good job, otherwise I wouldn't have been here in person today."
Garland knew what the marshal meant. Recently, there were many voices from senior management accusing the fighter troops of not protecting the bomber. Many senior management believed that the continuous bombing of bombers must be made possible by the British that the British could not bear the weight of the war and finally compromised and surrendered.
Now, senior officials believe that the number and combat effectiveness of the British fighter jets have plummeted, and Messerchmidt's status naturally weakened. However, Garland, who is on the front line, knows that the so-called weakening of the British fighter jets are all false information given to the head of state and the marshal by some people who like to flatter.
Garland glanced at Goring's think tank, said and swallowed the words on his lips, because among these people there were those flattering people, all of them were colonels and generals, and he dared not offend them.
Seeing that all the commanders of the Condor Legion were silent, Goring asked them with a pleasant look on what else they needed.
The commander of the Condor Legion did not speak, and the words of Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Garland were not enough to be said in place, let alone them.
The stubborn Adolf Garland's thick eyebrows frowned, his beard shook a few times, and suddenly said, "I want a team of Spitfire fighters."
Everyone was so angry that they didn't dare to breathe, worried that the marshal would be angry.
Everyone knows that Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Garland said this mainly to be angry and vent his dissatisfaction. He wanted to tell the Marshal that the best fighter in the world is not the only BF 109, and it is unfair to blame the losses of the bomber on the unfavorable escort of the fighter.
Gorene raised his thin eyebrows a few times, and his mouth twitched lightly. He took off the cigar in his mouth with his right hand, and said in a relaxed tone a few seconds later: "Well! This opinion is very good, but it is difficult. If you can capture a team of fire spitting back, I authorize you to use it casually."
Adolf Garland couldn't help but complain and felt very regretful. When he heard the marshal's answer, his face suddenly relaxed. He quickly poured a cup of coffee for the marshal and handed it over respectfully. So everyone in the room also laughed easily...
...
August 24.
The weather over the English Channel was still bright and sunny. Large-scale German bombers continued to fly to the UK. Marshal Kathering continued to chase and attack the British Air Force bases, and also included aircraft manufacturing plants and railway systems as targets, forcing British fighters to take off to fight.
On this day, the Luftwaffe's attack on the British radar station was not as strong as before. Perhaps their intelligence personnel told Marshal Kesseling that the British radar station was basically paralyzed.
Received the commendation from the Head of State and the Marshal, Adolf Garland sent three fighter brigades to escort the 40 latest ju88 bombers and do �
The Royal Air Force was forced to do so, and six fighter squadrons rushed to the air to intercept. Although two squadrons broke through the dense escort formation, they could not stop the powerful ju88 bomber from crushing forward.
On this day, the Royal Air Force suffered heavy losses and many military bases and airports were destroyed, but the good news is that the radar station that was almost destroyed the day before yesterday was repaired.
On August 24th, Zhou Zhihan spent the whole morning in the large radar combat room of the Royal Air Force Command, holding a small book in his hand, constantly recording various data, sometimes bowing his head and thinking deeply, nodding without saying a word.
In this regard, General Xu and General Dowding saw it all in his heart.
At noon, Zhou Zhihan returned to a separate room and turned on his flight helmet. He needed to observe the every move of the Luftwaffe.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Zhihan told the worried Admiral Dowding that there might be an opportunity tonight and he will carry out a top-secret mission, but when the opportunity comes, he can only take off with one fighter.
The reason why Zhou Zhihan said "possible" had a chance is because he was not sure whether the trajectory of history would be slightly deviated. What if the incident of the German Air Force bombing London by mistake happened tomorrow night?
Nothing is absolute, and no one can guarantee that the course of history will not be deviated, such as how he, a time traveler, explains it.
General Xu Daoding had already believed Zhou Zhihan deeply. Hearing this, he immediately called the Prime Minister.
When he heard that Zhou Zhihan asked someone to complete this task alone, Prime Minister Churchill was a little hesitant. He believed in Zhou Zhihan's air combat ability, but if he performed this task alone, he felt unsure.
However, hope is better than despair.
The fewer people do this, the better. If more people know, it will definitely be of no use to him. From his own interests, Churchill hopes that Zhou Zhihan will implement this plan alone.
At 7:30 p.m., Zhou Zhihan walked out of the room and told General Xu. Dowding alone that the opportunity had come. He wanted to take off secretly and asked General Xu. Dowding to contact him on a single line.
At 8:30 pm, Zhou Zhihan drove the A214 fire and took off alone from the airport of the 208th Squadron of the 11th Battalion of the Royal Air Force. A few minutes later, the fire disappeared into the vast dark night.
Before Zhou Zhihan set out, General Daoding had authorized him to command the three navy, army, air force.
Half an hour later, Churchill, the Air Secretary and Major General Pike all came to the secret conference room where the meeting the day before yesterday and waited quietly.
Chapter completed!
