Even before the war began in 1939, German intelligence was closely concerned about the development of the next generation of British fighter jets, the Spitfire. Unable to obtain the specific details of the fighters in service, Hannah ordered Henkelbo to "copy" the prototype of the HE112 according to the Spitfire wing-carrying outfit of the period in her memory, and then handed it over to the "Aviation Circus" led by Udet to pilot the "imaginary enemy" air combat.

The "Aviation Circus" is a special department of the German air force, and the pilots in this department are all super elites with more than 2,000 flight hours, and many of them are veteran pilots who participated in the First World War, and its head is none other than the famous ace pilot Udet during the First World War. This is also a department specially formed by Hannah and Lin Han in order to give full play to Udet's talents. The division belongs to the Navy. There is only one responsibility: to play the role of the expected "enemy" and simulate the performance and tactics of the enemy's aircraft, so as to facilitate the search for supporting means for the side.

It has been more than four months since the start of the war, and in the air battles on the Western Front, the Germans have also captured a small number of damaged Hurricane fighters of the British army, and the repair is directly sent to the "aviation circus" to be received by relevant personnel. After testing, it was found that the Hurricane fighter, as in history, has not yet installed a fuel supply partition in its engine, and once it performs a high-intensity negative G maneuver, it is very easy to cause fuel failure and stalling, and this discovery in the air battle on the Western Front could not save the lives of the Soviet-German flight - because the negative G maneuver happens to be what the He100 fighter using the direct fuel injection system is best at.

During the British night attack on Oslo, the BF100d fighter was helpless in the face of the old-fashioned and backward Swordfish attack in the night air battle because the wing load was too large and the speed was too fast. After this weakness was exposed. Udet's "Aviation Circus" immediately simulated the performance of the Swordfish with the active GO145 trainer, and quickly figured out a solution - that is, to target it with the same old biplane. Since Germany could not find a professional biplane fighter for a while, it bought a batch of obsolete CR32 biplane fighters from Italy, and used them as biplane night fighters in the harbor with slight modifications.

Before the sortie, when Captain Fafnier was training on the shore, he had already heard of the name of the Spitfire, a British fighter that had never appeared on the Western Front. But it was the elite of the Luftwaffe and naval aviation that most often brought fighters. The "aviation circus" headed by Udet will drive a modified HE112V22 to simulate the flight tactics of the "legendary Spitfire" as an imaginary enemy, and abuse the old pilots who have returned to the battlefield after a leave of absence, or the rookie pilots who have just left the aviation school.

Before this time on the battlefield, Captain Fafnier was severely taught a lesson by the "circus" with a "pseudo-Spitfire", and after hearing that a real Spitfire had appeared on the opposite side, Fafnier felt that the blood in his whole body boiled at that moment.

"Air traffic control, tell me the location of the enemy plane!"

"There are a total of twelve suspected fire-breathing targets, about two kilometers in front of the right of your formation. It's flying towards you. In addition, there are thirty-six Swordfish flying at low altitudes of six hundred meters. ”

"Do you want to repeat the same game as Oslo? The same move, the second time you use it won't work! ”

Fafnir vomited in his heart, but continued to ask:

"Any instructions?"

When participating in the air war in China, the Luftwaffe tasted the great sweetness of having the right to control information on the battlefield. Most of the German flights that participated in that air battle had long since abandoned the chivalry of a fair war in Hangzhou Bay. An old oiler pilot like Fafnier is even more eager to sneak behind the enemy's back in every air battle, and then happily "burst chrysanthemums" to end the air battle.

"Be careful, your opponent is climbing. There are six Spitfires, just like you, climbing at high speed! ”

"It doesn't matter. We have a dozen! Manfini squadron followed me, twelve to six, two to one, their turn! ”

Wireless communication channel, Fafnier shouted. For this air battle, Fafnir is full of confidence.

"Before the war. We are well prepared, we know our opponents, we know our opponents. ”

"My men and I are almost all elites of thousands of hours! And twice as many as they are! ”

"Even the gasoline we burn now is the best C4 jet fuel!"

Now he flies the HE112 fighter. The aviation gasoline used is a very expensive C4 aviation gasoline, which is roughly equivalent to the British No. 120 purple gasoline (this gasoline has this common name because of the purple dye added). With this aviation gasoline, the engine efficiency is 15 percent higher than that of the usual B4 and C3. The production of C4 aviation gasoline is very small, and so far it has only been supplied to the Navy's aircraft carrier forces, and is only used for combat sorties.

"With so many advantages, how could we possibly lose!"

In the communication channel, Fafnier shouted arrogantly.

"The Brit on the other side, I'm Uncle Faveniel to (crabs) you're here!"

Tens of thousands of meters away, a Sea Spitfire fighter numbered 101 was climbing.

"If you don't want to be shot down by the enemy, the last resort is to never give your plane a chance to be targeted by the enemy."

This is the experience of the old pilots who survived from the "aircraft cemetery" and the "pilot's cemetery" in Hangzhou Bay, and it is also the "life insight" of Lieutenant Mason opposite.

Before taking off from the flight deck of the USS Eagle in the new Spitfire, Captain Mason instructed his pilots one last time, and his words of advice were:

"To hell with the damn mobility! If you don't want to be knocked down, either give your plane speed or give your plane altitude! Altitude and speed are the life of a pilot! ”

When Captain Mason climbed to a height of 1,500 meters in a Spitfire, he immediately noticed that something was wrong.

At this altitude, the sun can already be seen on the horizon in the distance, and the sun is dazzling.

Today's weather is really "too good", the low-altitude clouds are very thin, and the British planes taking off from the west, facing the German planes from the east, it is obvious that this is a very bad position.

Therefore, Captain Mason decided to mobilize part of the Spitfire to climb to an altitude of about 3,000 meters, where the clouds are thicker, which is conducive to concealment, and the light is not too dazzling, and at the same time, the fighters and attack planes are layered high and low, which is also conducive to "protecting yourself".

Yes, it's about protecting yourself.

Captain Mason, who came alive from that "pilot's graveyard", has long been educated as a realist by the brutal air combat in China.

During the Chinese air war, in order to protect those heavy and slow bombers, Captain Mason saw his comrades in the air like wood repeatedly attacked and tortured by the fast HE51 and FW90, and that experience was definitely not a good memory. When he was shot down by Li Huamei, he even brushed shoulders with death.

At that time, Li Huamei's HE51F hit him in the cockpit of the plane, and a 13mm bullet grazed his cheek and flew past, leaving a scar on his left side of his face that will never disappear for the rest of his life.

After being shot down, Captain Mason learned a "truth".

"In air battles, it's not the winner who is king, it's the remnant who is king! I won't put my life into it for the sake of others! ”

While he still loves flying and is keen to shoot down his opponents in air combat, he definitely doesn't want to taste being shot down again.

The tactics he has arranged now seem to be ingenious and reasonable, but in fact, he throws the low-altitude friendly plane to the opponent as a bait, while he ambushes himself in the air and waits for the opportunity to pick up the benefits.

On the other hand, Captain Favenier, who thought he had taken a big advantage, was also directing his flying squadron to pounce on Captain Mason's position.

"Squadron Manfini climbs with me, Squadron Victoria maintains its current altitude!"

Before marrying his wife, Captain Fafnier was a well-known fancy young pilot, and his two flying squadrons were named after well-known European brands of women's underwear - the original idea was to call bras, panties, stockings and other more desirable names, but later had to be abandoned due to strong opposition from his superiors.

His dream is that one day in the future, both the downed enemy plane and the "downed" woman will be able to break through the triple digits -- the second wish, since he married a fierce woman, can never be realized, and now he can only pursue the former with all his might. He believes that the best way for him to "exit" as a pilot is to be surrounded by a whole squadron of beautiful pilots one day, and of course, this wish may be very slim.

With the absence of an on-board radio communicator, Fafnier was constantly reminded that the Spitfire on the opposite side was climbing at almost the same speed as his squadron, and the two sides were flying at almost the same altitude.

"If you can fly a new plane, you should be a great guy! It's so boring to always slaughter vegetables, it's fun to resist, come on, boy, let my Uncle Fafnier teach you how to jerk off! ”

Because the side had enough fighters and formed a distribution of different levels of high and low like the opponent, and there were 12 other fighters coming further from the rear, the air traffic control commanding Fafnier's operation was also confident that it did not adopt the tactics of detour and rear attack, but guided the Manfini squadron led by Fafnier to "cover" the six Spitfires on the opposite side under the cover of sunlight.

For Fafnier, his squadron only had to entangle the six Spitfires at high altitude, and as for the British planes in the lower echelons, he had his own fighter unit to deal with them.
