With Dunkirk as the center, draw a circle with a radius of 200 kilometers, in this circle, more than 2,000 planes from the three warring parties are all concentrated in this "small cage" to fight, in terms of air combat density and tragic Cheng Dù, even more than the Shanghai-Hangzhou air battle in 1935~1936.

The British and Luftwaffe fought mainly off Dunkirk, while the French air force fought inland.

At the time of the French campaign, the main fighters of the French Air Force were MB.152/155 fighters, and the better fighter D520, by the time of the outbreak of the French campaign, had only begun to equip the air force. In terms of the performance of the D520 fighter, it is enough to compete with any German aircraft in service. However, in the Western European theater, the French Air Force and the British Air Force faced the same embarrassment -- it was not that they could not make fighters with the same performance as the Luftwaffe, but because of the slow speed of armament, the late mobilization, and the lack of production capacity, the equipment of the new fighters was half a beat slower than that of their opponents. This is true of the original historical plane, and even more so of this historical plane.

Over land in northern France, the air battles were as fierce as those over the English Channel. With Rundstet commanding Army Group A to complete a breakthrough in the Ardennes and copy the rear of the Anglo-French army, the Germans were overwhelmed on this front.

In the battle of forcibly crossing the Maas River on 10 May, in order to destroy the pontoon bridge erected by the Germans over the Maas River, the British and French air forces dispatched hundreds of sorties to bomb the pontoon bridge here repeatedly, with the result that with the cooperation of the German army and air force, the British and French air forces paid greater losses than in history but did not achieve the combat objective.

During several days of air raids, the British and French air forces lost more than 300 aircraft along the Maas River. At this time, the German Army's own air defense capability was stronger than in history, and the excellent Bofors anti-aircraft guns had long been the main air defense force of the German Army, and more than half of the aircraft losses of the Anglo-French coalition were shot down by 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns. Many famous air wings were crippled in this failed assault - such a huge loss. The stricter impact on the subsequent Battle of Dunkirk was impossible, as neither Britain nor France could replenish the planes and pilots they had lost in the early stages in just eight days.

In order to rescue the 300,000 troops who were about to be completely annihilated, after the Battle of Dunkirk began on the 18th, the French Air Force devoted almost all its resources to the Dunkirk battlefield.

From May 18, around Dunkirk. The air forces of Britain, France and Germany invested a large number of fighters and fought fiercely here. In one day, the number of fighters dispatched by both sides combined exceeded 1,000, and if you count bombers and attack aircraft, this number rises to 2,000.

On 18 May, when the Great Air Battle around Dunkirk broke out, the Luftwaffe shouted a slogan.

"Let the French bleed dry over Dunkirk."

The JG51 Fighter Air Wing is the most envied flight unit of the Luftwaffe and is also recognized in Germany as an aviation unit that can keep pace with the "aviation circus" of HNA.

The reason why it is the envy of peers. Not because half of the pilots of the wing were elite who flew more than 1,000 hours, but because the wing was the only flying unit in the Luftwaffe that was now fully equipped with HE112G fighters.

HE112G is a special model of HE112, a fighter developed in 1935, because this type of fighter from the engine to the key structure of the fuselage parts are products that cannot be "mass-produced". Less than 100 of these aircraft were produced in Germany and were supplied only to elite pilots in the navy and air force.

G this number. Not only because he is ranked after the HE112 active number "F", but also represents another layer of meaning: the fighter of this number. It is the meaning of being changed by the god "Gabriel" of the Saphiroth Sect.

Although the engine prototype of this fighter is also a 1250 horsepower DB601N engine, it can fly 1300 horsepower in actual air combat, and in case of emergency, it can be "overclocked" to 1400 horsepower. The reason for this is that these engines have been "magically modified" by Lin Han and Hannah at the cost of consuming the power of faith.

And the wing fuselage that makes up the He112G fighter bears the skeleton. It is a titanium alloy skeleton that cannot be made by technology in this era or even in the next few decades, which is lighter in weight and stronger in strength.

By May 1945, only 85 HE112G models had been "magically modified". Sixty of them went to the Air Force, and twenty-five to the Navy. The main reason for this distribution is that the Air Force has become more and more dissatisfied with the Führer's "partiality" towards naval aviation in the past year, and in order to appease the Air Force, Hannah gave priority to supplying this fighter after the "magic modification" of herself and Lin Han to the Air Force. The JG51 Wing was also specially formed to make a name for the Air Force, and now the commander of the JG51 is none other than the Air Force's ace pilot Garland, who has fifty-one crashes so far.

Ostend, Belgium's seaside port city, fell to the Germans five days ago, and it was the first seaside port city captured by the German Army in Western Europe. After the outbreak of the French campaign, the German army advanced wildly on the Western Front, and because the offensive was too fast, it often faced the problem of disconnecting the assault troops and the supply forces. Ostend was a port city, and the capture of the city allowed the German Army to supply by sea to Guò.

At this time, the Dutch government, under pressure from Germany, had already shown a gesture of submission. They agreed that the German Navy would enter Belgian ports "harmlessly" through the Dutch coastline at night. It was precisely because of the acquisition of partial sea dominance that when the Battle of France broke out in this plane, the German Army could obtain supplies on the Western Front through the Guò sea route, and the offensive was more daring.

After the capture of Ostend, it quickly became one of the most important front-line air bases of the Luftwaffe on the Western Front. Almost all the German planes that were fighting the British Air Force over the Channel took off from this airfield.

At eight o'clock in the morning of the 18th, thirty-six He112G fighters of the JG51 Wing, covering twenty HS129s and the same number of HE111s, took off from Ostend Airport and headed for Dunkirk to carry out anti-tank support missions. After learning that Dunkirk had been attacked by the German navy, more than 30 British and French troops who were facing a total encirclement went crazy as if they had blown up their nests. Intelligence shows. About sixty kilometers southeast of Dunkirk, about 130 tanks of a tank division were swarming towards the area. And the Anglo-French troops from other directions are also rushing here.

In less than half a month, he participated in a total of 13 air battles and shot down 26 enemy planes, including the downs during the "sit-down war" in the previous five months. His victories have exceeded sixty. The record is so high that it has even surpassed the captain Garland, and it is already the first ace of the JG51 team. It is very likely to become the second pilot after Li Huamei to surpass the Red Baron (80) in the number of downs.

At 8:45 a.m., when the plane of the JG51 Wing was about to cross the Belgian border and enter the French territory, Marseilleu piloted the HE112G, flying at an altitude of 4,000 meters, a floating cloud kept passing over his love plane numbered "14", and Marseilleu was softly humming the song "Ifyoustillbelieve" composed by the famous German female singer Hannah for the Air Force.

“IhaddreamthatIcouldfly

Icanfeeleachmomentastimegoesby”

This song is a foreign song of the same name copied by Lin Han in later generations. Then it was sung by Hannah. If this song is sung by a tenor, it can naturally make the audience return to the intestines and have an endless aftertaste, but if it is sung by a male voice, and it is sung with a half-tone broken voice, the sound has a strong "damage effect".

Marseilleu's wingman, via guò airborne transistor radio, endured the terrifying sonic damage of the air combat king for a minute. Finally, I couldn't bear to interrupt him through the communicator: "Please, stop singing, please!" It's a big deal, I'll give you all the crash counts for today. ”

"Huh. It's true? ”

"Really! I know you're chasing that Chinese chick, and now she's fighting with the British over the strait, you tune up the radio to 80 MHz, there's the latest battle report there, maybe there's news from her. Her JG47 wing had taken off at half past six in the morning, and the radio should now be broadcasting a report on the results. ”

In order not to withstand the noise attacks of his friends, Marseilleu's wingman cleverly distracted him. Marseilleu adjusted the frequency of the in-flight radio as he said. Sure enough, I heard a report of the results from the ground.

"Soldiers of the Third Reich, it is now 8:47 a.m. on the 18th, and the bombing campaign launched by the Sunset Empire against the port of Dunkirk at 7 a.m. has failed. In the air battle off Dunkirk at 7 o'clock this morning, the pilots of the JG41 and JG47 wings shot down a total of 45 British planes. And the naval air defense forces, there are also thirty-one of them, and the poisoned arrows fired by the dying and desperate Sunset Empire are lightly broken."

For the sake of propaganda, Britain is now deliberately referred to as the "Sunset Empire" on the German radio.

Marseilleu listened intently to the radio and before he knew it, he stopped humming.

Marseilleu's hard pursuit of Li Huamei is no secret among his peers. When Spain intervened in the war, Marseilleu, who was still a cadet pilot at the time, was sent to Spain to carry out support missions, and Li Huamei was the friendly plane that took him with him at that time.

The number of Li Huamei's fighter is "13", which has been her unique number mark, and the number of Marseilleu's fighter at that time is "14", which is also used today.

In the original historical plane, Marseilleu was one of the Luftwaffe's ace pilots who shot down more than 100 aircraft, reaching 158. Although not as impressive as Hartman's 315, he had a record that put all pilots to shame: the astonishing result of shooting down seventeen fighters in one day. When the Western world evaluates the first fighter pilot of World War II, the "first" that the Western world agrees with is none other than Marseilleu, and as for Hartmann, who is "strict in water injection", he did not even enter the top ten.

(Note: Although Hartmann is the first in the number of crashes, he cannot be said to be the strongest pilot, but can only be said to be the luckiest.) He was shot down ten times in his life, he was fine, and basically uninjured. After being shot down, he was captured by the Soviets once, and then miraculously escaped back, which was really a stroke of luck. Marseilleu, on the other hand, is more tragic. He was never shot down in his life, but because of a mechanical failure, and then a parachute accident, he fell to his death. ）

Hannah had long known about Marseilleu's name, and had long dragged him into a pilot school for special training and sent him to the Spanish battlefield for training. is similar to Li Huamei, an inhuman demon. Marseilleu was also a shooting pilot, with a natural instinct for shooting from long distances in air combat. Often after shooting down several enemy planes in an air battle, they returned with half of the ammunition on board. He was named the No. 1 basis in World War II, which means that he was the No. 1 in air combat efficiency.

While learning air combat in Spain with Li Huamei's wingman, Marseilleu met Li Huamei, and then became fascinated by her, and then launched a fierce pursuit.

In order to reject this fanatical seeker of youthful impulse, Li Huamei proposed an impossible goal for "mortals" to reject Marseilleu: I will promise you more than the number of crashes in air combat.

Counting the results of the Spanish air battle, Li Huamei's number of downs has exceeded 300. It's an impossible goal for a mortal to surpass - with the exception of Hartmann's water-infused results, of course.

On the radio, a report about Li Huamei finally came out.

"In the air battle at 7 o'clock this morning, China's ally, Lancelot, also known as the "Blue 13" Li Huamei also joined the Imperial Army to participate in the air battle. In the just-concluded air battle, Li Huamei, the "Wonder Woman" from China, shot down a total of five Hurricane fighters. Counting her victories in China and Spain, she has taken down a staggering 316 planes."

Listen to the number "316". Marseilleu's cheek twitched, and then he tuned the communication channel to the band of the friendly plane, and before he could shout a heartily prepared declaration to his teammates: "Today I will shoot down at least ten fighters!" The communicator heard the ill-intentioned noise of the friendly planes.

"Marseilleu, the Chinese girl you want to chase has gone up again."

"Marseilleu, it seems that there is no hope for you!"

Of course. There are also people who are "well-intentioned" to support him.

"Marseilleu, I support you! Today's results are good for you, haha"

"You bastards!"

Marseilleu withdrew his prepared declaration, roaring angrily over the communicator.

Thirty minutes later, the group of attack aircraft covered by the JG51 wing had flown over Dunkirk.

The Dunkirk region at this time. Black smoke billowed and you could see destroyed armored targets or burning wreckage of buildings everywhere you looked down from the sky.

The Anglo-French forces, which had retreated from Belgium, were facing a joint attack from the north and south of the German Army Group A and Group B, and Dunkirk was their last "living eye". Around the contention here, Britain, France and Germany all threw their own air forces into the battlefield one after another.

The JG51 Wing was not the first to rush to the Dunkirk battlefield to support the German planes, as long before their sortie, the German field airfield planes closer to Dunkirk in other directions had already flown here to fight the British and French air forces and ground forces for a round, and they were just here to "take over".

When they arrived over Dunkirk, the Marseilleu plane in front of them even boarded the group of their own fighters that had not yet evacuated from the previous wave of air battles, and they were entangled with more than 20 MB152/155 fighters of the French Air Force.

The air combat command center on the Z28 air defense destroyer, located eighty kilometers away from the battlefield, sent guidance instructions in time, and under their instructions, only twelve fighters of the JG51 wing joined the air battle, and the rest did not directly join the battlefield, but began to climb and seize the altitude, while the attack aircraft group escorted by it lowered the altitude and began to attack the French army on the ground.

According to the instructions of the air combat command center, another wave of French planes will enter this battlefield in five minutes, and the fighters who have not directly participated in the battle will take advantage of this opportunity to seize the altitude and accumulate energy before the air battle.

In the past few years, Li Huamei has written an academic work on air warfare called "The Theory of Energy Maneuvering" with reference to various books on air combat theory in the post-world world and combined with her own experience in air combat, which later became an important textbook for the Luftwaffe.

The Marseilleu "Yellow 14" fighter did not participate in the climb and storage, but directly broke into the "head" of the British and German aircraft that were fighting and began to grab friendly planes.

"The first one!"

A minute later, he made his first crash.

One minute and forty-five seconds later, the second crash allowed him to snatch the hand from the 'friendly plane'.

Two minutes and thirty-five seconds later, the public communication channel heard the scolding of "friendly planes".

"That bastard number 14, you rob my head!"

At this time, news came from the communication channel that the approaching wave of French fighters was all P40 Curtiss fighters. The armament of the French Air Force was even worse than that of the British, and at the critical moment of the French campaign, the aircraft produced by the rear factories could not meet the needs of the front, and the Battle of the Maas River that broke out eight days earlier caused the French Air Force to suffer heavy losses, so that in the battle to recapture Dunkirk, P40 fighters could only be sent to make up for the shortcomings.

"P40? Although the skin is a little thicker, I have competed in the "circus", and it is much easier to fight than the French crooked neck. ”

With the idea of getting more results, Marseilleu gave up the pursuit of the fleeing French plane in front of him and began to climb to accumulate energy.
