374 chased all the way
The ME-109E fighter attacked too early, and seeing that the opponent had not yet entered the attack range, the German novice pilot opened fire early, attracting the attention of the opponent. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
White discovered that his plane was being attacked, which forced White to abandon his intention to continue climbing. At such times, he can only perform lateral maneuvers to get rid of the opponent's charge.
"I was chasing me just now and hiding in Tibet, but now I dare to come back and provoke!" White steered his plane and dodged the other side's shells.
He still didn't panic, because in his thoughts, the German plane that had just chased him might not be nearby at this time.
After all, this is a chaotic air battle, and it doesn't happen very often that three planes chase and kill an enemy plane at the same time.
Taking advantage of his fighter's small turning radius, White piloted the Spitfire with a beautiful turn to pass the rushing ME-109E fighter.
Then, he adjusted his knowledge of flight, prepared to shoot down the enemy plane, and find another opportunity to fight back in the circle.
Seeing the attack of friendly novice pilots, Heinz? Barr regretfully commented: "The attack was too early. ”
Because the other party was a novice pilot, even Barr could see it, so he didn't ask for anything too much, just after making a comment, he piloted his FW-190B and rushed to the target in the distance.
The British pilot White, who was just about to chase down the ME-109E fighter, spotted two German fighters trailing in advance.
"The ghost is not gone!" In White's mind, after a similar feeling came to him, in a suitable position, he piloted his plane and began to continue the turn.
The Spitfire's turning action is very smooth, and when the whole action is completed, the turning radius is almost twice as small as that of the German fighter.
Such a huge advantage was also used by British pilots to shake off the opposing fighter, just like a German fighter pilot used a roll to shake off a British fighter pilot.
As White continued to make turns, unexpectedly, Barr, piloting his own fighter, suddenly accelerated underneath White, and then changed out and pulled up.
This is a classic chase move, known as lowYOYO, which is a standard "trick" that uses vertical maneuvering to take shortcuts and shorten the attack distance.
When using this technique, you must be taken by surprise, or when you are covered by other friendly aircraft, otherwise it is easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity and use a more reasonable altitude to shoot down.
Speaking of which, this tactic is to give up one's own energy first, release potential energy and take a shortcut to seek a short attack moment. If the opponent is on guard, then this set of actions is equivalent to giving up his height and potential energy in advance, and he will be at an obvious disadvantage.
The reason why Barr dared to use "Low Yoyo" to take a shortcut and attack early was because of his extreme self-confidence, and on the other hand, because he had his own wingman!
is such a bully, there is no cover of wingmen in air combat, and sometimes you have to bear the opponent's various flawed brutal play alone.
That's how White felt at this time. He really wanted to scold shamelessly, and then fly the plane with an ascending broken S flight to educate the other party.
But he knew that there was another German fighter on the side, and at this time he changed his flying attitude to turn and began to maneuver upward, which would inevitably lose speed and become a target.
At this moment, he could only grit his teeth and let his plane expand the turning radius. Take advantage of the sudden change of route to counteract the brief attack opportunities that Barr finds with the "Low Yoyo" maneuver behind him.
After such a short round of fighting, the two sides got to know each other deeply. Barr knew that the pilot he was chasing was definitely a good guy, and White knew that the two enemy planes behind him were not rookies.
Looking at the ME-109E fighter that had broken away in the distance and went to find other British planes to attack, White felt indescribable bitterness in his heart.
The plane, which was originally his prey, had now flown into the distance. And now he himself is the prey, hovering helplessly in the gray sky.
While leveling his flight attitude, White steered the plane towards the most dense place in the air combat.
Because at this time, he already knew very well that it was an impossible task to get rid of the pursuit of two enemy planes by himself. He can only use the cover of other friendly aircraft to maneuver with the other side.
"Want to go? Which is so easy? As Barr maneuvered his fighter to catch up with him, he said, "What a tough guy." ”
He had never encountered such a thing, and after an entanglement, the other party did not leave him any chance to fire.
As if he had met a good opportunity to exercise, he piloted his beloved FW-190B fighter jet, roaring his engine to catch up with the Spitfire in front of him.
"Hell!" White was in the cabin of his plane when he felt the pressure of two German fighter jets behind him.
This coarse fighter is not different from the dexterous ME-109E fighter, it can almost be said to be the nemesis of the Spitfire fighter at this stage!
The FW-190B fighter has an overwhelming speed advantage over the Spitfire fighter in the airspace below 6,400 meters.
To put it simply, in this airspace, it is about 60 kilometers faster than the other party. This speed gradually narrowed the distance between the two sides, and White had to find a way to keep the distance between the two sides.
White swayed his plane from side to side, so that the opponent could not lock his trajectory and launch a long-range attack, while looking for an opportunity to get rid of the opponent's entanglement.
There were more and more planes in front of him, and the tracks of tracer bullets left in the sky by the scuffle between the two sides were as dense as the cobwebs in front of him after he got into the woods.
The engine is still desperately pumping out its own power, allowing the fighter to fly fast in the sky. Sitting in the cockpit, watching the dashboard shake slightly, White felt the tension and excitement of being chased and killed.
Of course, he doesn't like the thrill of being hunted down, and no one likes the feeling of being hunted down. Especially...... The feeling of being hunted down and not being able to fight back......
Just as White was piloting his plane, trying to fly back into the chaos of the battle circle and seek cover, he saw a picture that made him desperate.
One Hurricane fighter after another was beaten into a sieve by German fighters and then crashed into the icy sea.
The pilot who parachuted out, the parachute was pierced by a stray bullet, and the person hanging below shouted in horror, looking at his expression, it was as if he could hear his desperate shout.
Farther away, chaotic engagements, planes on both sides intertwined, tracer bullets flying everywhere, and who could provide White with any cover?
The most devastating thing was when White saw at least 60 newly arrived German fighters rushing out of the clouds and joining the warband.
The British escort fighter force, which was already at a disadvantage, seemed to be brutally defeated by this force in an instant, and the radio was full of shouts asking for retreat.
"This is a trap for the Germans! It's their trap! The voice of one of the pilots shouted through the headphones, and it could be heard that he was also in despair of being hunted down.
White saw a German fighter jet with yellow on the nose fly sideways overhead, breaking the wings of a Hurricane fighter in the distance in two.
If this is all there seems to be a little hope for the British Air Force at this time, at least their bomber force took advantage of the chaos to fly close to the port of Brest.
But the real despair happened there, when more than 30 German fighters rushed into the Wellington bomber swarm, and it turned into a massacre.
As if hunting, dense German fighters rushed into the RAF bomber group from both directions.
Wellington bombers began to explode and fall in an instant, and the sound of cries on the radio was like hell on earth.
There were not many pilots like White, and the British novice pilots who were barely able to fly on their own, for the most part, were assigned to fighter units.
In the bomber unit, there is only one in ten pilots who have actually bombed Germany, and most of them are new flight cadets.
Those who were in charge of self-defense machine guns on the planes, even more pitiful, many of them went to the sky for the first time, and it is absolutely ridiculous to expect them to defeat the German planes.
"Commander! Call the Commander! White pressed the radio button, calling out to his commander.
He hoped that his commander would be able to save him, at least provide himself with some cover so that he could get out of the entanglement of the other party.
But on the radio, no one answered his shouts. Maybe it's because the channel is messed up, maybe it's because the commander has been shot down.
Inside White's headphones, the shouts of the Wellington bomber unit upset him. The other side was obviously prepared in Brest to be able to take off so many planes to intercept.
"Commander! Commander! We've been tricked! If we hold on, we'll be wiped out here! White didn't care if the other party could hear it, so he pressed the intercom and shouted loudly.
Just as he was shouting into his microphone, another formation of German fighters rushed in front of the distant Wellington bomber group, taking off from the distant French occupation zone.
