Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 42: The Fall of the Eagle

　　"Red sixteen, pay attention to behind."

　　 "I can't see him, where is he."

　　 "Haha, go to hell, bastard... Ah! Help me. I'm bitten."

　　 "All the squadrons are paying attention, start performing, let's go."

　　"This is the blue number seven, I am going to withdraw, **** British."

　　 "Be careful to keep your speed, don't get too close. Damn it, Green Team, where are you going?"

　　 The loud shouts of German pilots continued to be heard in the headset, but now no one can care about anyone. Lundes violently pushed the joystick to the right and made a beautiful roll again, and several bright tracers almost flew past the cockpit cover of the plane.

　　 It seems that the guy behind is really difficult to deal with. The Spitfire has been following Lundes for a minute. No matter how maneuver Lundes flies, he can't get rid of that tail. The Spitfire would shoot whenever there was a chance. If it weren't for the responsiveness of Lundes, he would almost be hit several times.

　　 Now the sky above Dunkel has been completely disrupted, and any long-term aircraft, wingmen, small formations, and squadrons have all been disrupted. The British and German pilots have forgotten what tactical rules, and now they are just mechanically manipulating their aircraft, and then attacking the enemy aircraft closest to them. There is no mutual cooperation, no tricks, only technical killings. Good technique wins, bad technique goes to hell.

　　Whether it is the Spitfire or the Challenger Hurricane Ou, every British fighter is now fighting to maintain the last point of the British Air Force's honor, the German Messerschmitt 109 and 1 The pilots of One Zero now face unprecedented madness and hardship. Although the firepower and quantity of German fighters prevailed, the battle was still very difficult.

　　 Hurricane fighters are not opponents of 109 in all aspects, but they still insist on being entangled with German fighters. * Played an important role in this aerial massacre. The British fighters covered with canvas were often beaten into a ball of fire by such bullets and shells. The British pilots who were hit in the cabin were even more miserable. They were burned alive in their driver's seat, or dragged their flame-spraying bodies and burning umbrella bags to the darkness of Dunkirk Harbor like a stone. Water surface.

　　 The more pitiful is the big gulls of the three squadrons. They are too heavy to be considered fighters. Originally, its job was to deal with the heavier German bombers. The four machine guns in its machine gun tower deal with the Germans. The bomber is still competent. But what I didn’t expect was that their opponents turned out to be all elite fighters. As a result, fifteen minutes after the start of the air battle, there were only three of these aircraft flying in the air, and the incomplete body of the Big Gull covered the whole body. Port area.

　　The challenger suffered a heavy loss. The German pilots were able to recognize the decoy from a kilometer away after training. As a result, they all greeted it with a cannon outside its range. All challenger pilots had no chance to escape. , Because their plane was torn apart or exploded into a ball of fire in mid-air.

　　 Only the Spitfire can fight evenly against the German fighters. From any point of view, the Spitfire is the only fighter that can surpass Messerschmitt in performance. Although the gap between the two sides is not big, it is enough to threaten the survival of ME109.

　　 However, the German fighters were still on the favorable side in this air battle. They flew from a nearby airport with sufficient fuel, and they could withdraw to the airport at any time to rest. The British took off from several airports in the interior of the United Kingdom and had been flying continuously for a long time, and they were already a little tired. And now it is fighting in an enemy-controlled area, and there is a psychological obstacle. The long flight distance has greatly shortened their stay in this airspace. As a result, they must always pay attention to the amount of fuel while fighting to ensure that they have the fuel to fly back to Britain.

　　 So in the first battle, the British pilots have been passive. In the first confrontation, a dozen fighters of various styles were shot down in succession. The blood of my colleagues finally made the British fighter pilots a little more sober. They finally understand now that it doesn't matter whether they have fuel or whether they are in enemy airspace. If they don't fight hard, the Luftwaffe will kill them all on this sea.

　　The training of the British is also very strict. They have a very practical air combat tactics and air combat skills. When the British Air Force began to take German fighters seriously, the German losses began. Those British two-aircraft formations skillfully cooperated with each other to carry out a series of effective attacks against the German four-aircraft formation.

　　 At the beginning, the pilots of the two sides used all-around solutions to conduct a formal group air battle. But the good times did not last long. Because the combat space was too narrow, those tactical coordination quickly turned into purposeless mutual impact, and those decoy flights were found to be death-hunting in front of the same elite enemy. Both sides conducted assaults with the purpose of dispersing each other's air combat formations and formations. After the fighters of both sides paid a considerable price to each other, the official melee finally appeared.

The pilots on both sides of 　　 were already red eyes. Even the air commanders on both sides lost their cool heads. The fierce battle, scattered wreckage, explosive fireballs, fiery tracers, and crazy secretion of adrenaline made the pilots excited and unable to control themselves. The only thing left in their minds was the deep-rooted technology, the technology of killing. They are ruthlessly and delicately manipulating the war machines that are flying up and down in the air. There is nothing left in their minds except how to destroy the opponents. They call for their companions to kill the single enemies together. They look cold with bloodthirsty eyes. Staring coldly at the target set in the aiming aperture. In the eyes of these pilots, those are just targets, and those who drive those targets are just **** beasts, because he himself is now part of the beasts.

　　 The elegant rules of the air knights during World War I have been completely trampled, and the aiming points of both sides began to move towards the cockpit of the other side. The German pilots have used the explosion of the other side's fuel tank as the only evidence that the other side was shot down. The battle was going on fiercely at various heights and in various ways. The helpless screams of their companions from the headset made the pilots’ killing heart firmer, while the bleak roar of machine guns and machine guns made those Tianzhijiaozi is full of enthusiasm.

　　 There is no fear, no mercy, no justice, no evil, only primitive killing.

　　 Maintaining their honor is the only reason they can comfort themselves, but all pilots understand in their hearts that what they need is fire and blood, and only those things can satisfy their hearts. The engine roared frantically, the shells fell from the bullet holes like raindrops, the tracer bullets roared out from the muzzle, the enemy in front of them trembled in the storm-like rain of bullets, and the broken skin and shell of the plane flew past in front of them. Then, with a roar, the **** dirty enemy exploded into a ball of fire or turned into a rolling torch and disappeared from his field of vision. A burst of extreme satisfaction filled his body, driven by that kind of pleasure. I started to look around to find the next goal, and then repeat it again, until I became the goal that satisfied others.

　　 When the first German reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, the entire battlefield became more chaotic. Those new squadrons were involved in this crazy battle before they understood how things were going. The new squadrons who just joined wanted to maintain their formation and use tactics. As a result, their commander understood that it was a fantasy after two minutes. When the losses of those squadrons began to appear, the newcomers devoted more enthusiasm to the aerial massacre.

　　The pilots who joined behind are even crazier than the pilots who have rushed to the present on this battlefield. Perhaps it is because the British combat attitude made them extremely angry when they first entered this battlefield. The British blew up a ME109 at the time, and the Spitfire kept chasing and killing the ME109, which was injured as soon as it entered the battle, to a low altitude. This method of killing off was actually used by both sides 15 minutes ago, but the later squadrons did not know it. As a result, the cruelty of the British angered these young pilots, and the air combat became more **** and cruel than before they came.

　　 Then the second batch of British Royal Air Force fighters also rushed here, but they were also treated the same by the Germans. This crazy cycle just continued. When the first squadrons that evacuated the battlefield and returned to the battlefield filled with fuel and ammunition and returned to the battlefield, some of the pilots of both sides had already given up the right to parachuting. As long as their aircraft could be operated, they would not hesitate. Use collision tactics against nearby enemy aircraft. This was caused by the fact that both sides had completely put the word moral aside at this time and started shooting the parachuting pilots.

　　 Now the sky over Dunkirk has become a stage for a contest between the two air forces. The Germans originally came to destroy the British Air Force, and the British Air Force was dispatched to cover their retreat. Now this situation was unexpected by Dowding. Although he had expected that his fighter jets would be blocked by the Luftwaffe, what he did not expect was that the Luftwaffe was completely targeting his aircraft. The dispatched are all elite fighter forces that have experienced many battles. And the German bomber force he had expected did not appear at all in the beginning. What made him even more unexpected was that his air force pilots lost their minds as soon as they entered the **** battlefield. They are now in a group with German fighters, completely forgetting their original mission, and even the air commander has been Got involved.

　　Because the German bombers have not yet appeared, in order to seize the air supremacy of Dunkirk, under Churchill's strict orders, Dowding had to put the precious British elite flying teams into combat one after another. As a result, the German bombers had just arrived in the first batch of reinforcements in the UK, and the latter attacked the naval battleships at low altitude while they were still on the road. By the time the British Air Force found it, the battleships had already been hit by a pile of torpedoes, and they were already floating on the sea like dead fishes, breathing in smoke, and the bombers that had successfully attacked had already increased their horsepower to withdraw them. In the airport, only a downed bomber floating on the sea proved the Germans’ perfect attack.

　　 Dao Ding now hates those navies like bones. Before the navy can figure out how to deal with the injured battleships, he must send more fighters to protect the seriously injured battleships. They demanded that the air force must now prevent the wounded warships from being sunk. If the navy cannot find a way to rescue them, then the air force must be used to sink the remaining floating warships to prevent them from being dragged away by the Germans as trophies.

　　 Two elite British air squadrons were sent to Dunkirk, this time not to cover the retreat of the British expeditionary forces. When the naval warships were destroyed, the British expeditionary forces had been abandoned. Their task is to cover the seriously injured warships.

　　The tragedy of the fighter squadron withdrew from Dunkirk taught Dowding about the strength of the Germans. Only 30% of the fighters sent out returned. This was the Spitfire and Hurricane squadrons, while other types of fighter squadrons were left behind. Dunkirk.

　　Several surviving squadron captains reported to him the bloodiness of the battle, and the madness and fierceness of the Germans. Judging from the situation they reported, more than 60 German flying wing numbers have appeared in the sky above Dunkirk. It can be seen that his fighter force is fighting two Luftwaffe air groups~IndoMTL.com~In his mind I understand very well that my air force can no longer regain the air supremacy of that port. My own air force, which has suffered a heavy loss, will now only have this strength that will be consumed in this cover operation, although the new aircraft is starting A steady stream of replenishment into his own troops, but Dowding thought of the elite pilots who had been lost for this stupid plan was so angry that this loss could not be made up in a short period of time. He just wanted to quickly throw away this baggage and get out of this **** trap.

　　 So Dowding gritted his teeth and sent the two elite hurricane squadrons, and then he ordered all the fighters now over Dunkirk to immediately leave the enemy and retreat. Dowding intends to use the sacrifices of these two hurricane squadrons to block all those who want to mobilize the air force. It is worthwhile for Dowding to sacrifice two squadrons to keep the remaining dozen or so elite Spitfire squadrons. .

　　 An hour later, over Dunkirk Harbor, the last hurricane was torn to pieces by the red-eyed German fighter group.

　　The German Air Force won the final victory in the aerial battlefield of Dunkirk.

　　Although they have paid a heavy price, the price paid by the British Air Force is simply insignificant, because at that moment, in the hearts of all Europeans, the honor and pride of the Royal Air Force of the British Empire is the most in Europe. The prestige of the powerful air force also sank into the deep English Channel with the debris of that hurricane.

　　 The Luftwaffe proved with their blood and steel that they are completely unstoppable. To challenge them, they must have the consciousness of being torn to pieces.
