Chapter 369: Change (I)

Over the periphery of Dunkirk, a small detachment of the Luftwaffe was on reconnaissance patrol. Although he ran into two enemy fighters from time to time, the Royal Air Force became more and more clever as an opponent, and immediately waved his hand after a trial.

So the Luftwaffe has not been able to achieve great results in recent contacts, and the Germans have nothing to do about it.

Although priority is given to the Navy's aircraft carriers as carrier-based aircraft, the main fighters of the Luftwaffe are also indispensable BF109 fighters.

Throughout World War II, Bf109 was the backbone of the Luftwaffe fighter force, this kind of excellent fighter equipped with MG108 30mm machine gun, MG131 13mm machine gun 2, maximum speed 686km/h, ceiling 10000m, range 700km, how could the Air Force not equip it.

Of course, because the production capacity has not been raised for the time being, most of the main fighters of the Luftwaffe are still using the ME190.

But on May 29, 1940, four Luftwaffe Bf 109 reconnaissance fighters made a huge victory by chance.

May 29, 1940 was a terrible day, with thick clouds and mist in the sky, but the Luftwaffe was still carrying out reconnaissance missions on the outskirts of Dunkirk.

The Army, for its part, had broken through the last British line of defense on the outskirts of Dunkirk, and now the 19th Panzer Corps was also in full swing towards Dunkirk under the leadership of General Guderian. At such a critical moment, aerial reconnaissance cannot be disconnected for a moment, and must be maintained to a certain extent.

Randolph and Harveys formed two groups of four fighters and patrolled the area southwest of Dunkirk as usual. Due to the fog, their planes had deviated from course and plunged headlong above the French positions in Dunkirk.

Fortunately, the French side was also in great confusion, and a round of anti-aircraft artillery was also scattered and sluggish. So, Randolph and they were lucky not to be lost.

Thomas piloting Harvey's wingman: "We're headlong into the British army's nest, what should we do?" ”

Harvey on the long plane: "Calm down, play a round and run." ”

Randolph: "That's right! The anti-aircraft fire of the French is not intensive, even weak, this is our chance! ”

Lowitsky: "Wingman received, here's it!" ”

Then the four of them found an airfield borrowed by the British Royal Air Force as quickly as they could. On the airfields of the British army, there were planes everywhere that did not take back their hangars.

After all, in such bad weather, not every Air Force commander dared to give the order to take off fighters. At the very least, the British pilots on the French positions gave up their intention of taking off.

So, this gave Randolph an opportunity for them to take advantage of. The four planes were eager to pour artillery fire on the airfield, and the machine-gun bullets on the BF109 rained down on the British fighters at the airfield like crazy, and a large number of British Hurricane fighters who had just flown here from the mainland were destroyed on the tarmac of the airport.

Everywhere there was the wreckage of the explosion, and everywhere there was howls of terror. Even on the French positions a few kilometers away, those French soldiers who were watching the excitement with guns in their arms could figure out the fact that the British Air Force at the airport was finished!

After a slight success, the four German planes quickly retreated. Leaving behind a bunch of British ground crews looking at the wreckage, hurriedly sending people to put out the fire, and hurriedly taking off the warplane.

At the airport, several British pilots who reacted quickly had already taken off in their planes. Unfortunately, it was a little too late.

And Randolph actually exploded a Hurricane fighter jet in the air after catching up, and then left in a dashing manner.

Four BF109s, in total, destroyed nearly 30 aircraft at enemy airfields at one time, and calmly left.

At this moment, the British Air Force base, which was closest to Dunkirk, lost almost all of its air power at once, and the British army had to urgently deploy other fighter planes from airports in London, Paris, and other areas to support it.

However, even so, the situation southwest of Dunkirk was suddenly more tense than ever.

"Shame! Lose face! Lose face! ”

These were the first words of Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the British Empire, when he received the news.

The British Army was already in Norway, in Belgium, one after another in disgrace. This has happened a long time ago, and everyone can still accept it. After all, the British Army was originally a group of units that could only be used against the German police.

However, the Royal Navy of the British Empire, known as the world's top navy, was also beaten 0-8 by German warships at Narvik Height.

What could be more humiliating than this?!

Great Britain, who claimed to be the number one champion, was beaten by an emerging star Germany who was disqualified 20 years ago.

What's this called?!

Of course, objectively speaking, the Germans have two large aircraft carriers to deal with a British destroyer formation with weak anti-aircraft firepower, this is an asymmetric duel, and it is strange that the Royal Navy can win!

But the outside world gets the impression that there is not so much explanation, failure is failure, and it is a fiasco in the literal sense!

Now, the Royal Air Force, which is known as the "empire on which the sun never sets", finally has some new revelations that can alarm the heavens and people after being pressed and beaten by the Luftwaffe for more than a month-0-30 by the Luftwaffe!

Damn, what a fart is it like this?!

"This direct commander who lost the battle should kill himself! They are to blame for their incompetence and failures! These were Churchill's last words.

In fact, it is not to blame that the British army fought so badly. To say that the German side is much stronger than the British expeditionary force in terms of firepower and materials. Even, it has vaguely surpassed the drive of the entire British Empire.

Judging from the army material generals alone, as in the current situation, there are not many other countries participating in the anti-Confederate coalition (the German camp has changed its name in this space-time). The Anglo-French side did not actually have an advantage in war materiel.

But even if so many countries were united, the material strength of the army would not be half that of the German army. The Germans were able to overwhelm the anti-Allied coalition and remained invincible in the European theater.

China? When they fought the most fiercely against Japan in the Battle of Songhu, they used German equipment. Moreover, relations between Germany and China have not been deadlocked, and China will not oppose Germany for a while.

USSR? The two battleships that Germany owed to the Soviet Union have not yet been delivered! Even if it wants to engage Germany, the Soviet Union will have to wait for the battleships to be in hand before making enemies with Germany, and now it is fighting, isn't it an excuse for Reinhardt to privately swallow the battleships?!

After smashing so many supplies and paying all kinds of deposits, how could the matter of this battleship be easily collapsed. Besides, the Soviet Union is still busy annexing the three Baltic states, so how can it bother to get involved in Germany's affairs.

United States? They might have wanted to go to war, but could he get the Congress? The separation of powers is not a nice thing to hear, and the president of the United States is not a monopoly of power.
