Chapter 309: The Civil War of 309 Weapons

In the cold sky, several fighter planes are brutally fighting each other. The roar of the engines sent out that heart-rending howl in the air, and this high-level fighter combat was higher and more intense than the ME-109C fighter fighting in the Battle of Songhu.

Because this was a duel with higher quality fighters, in order to regain local air supremacy and cover the retreat of the British and French forces in Belgium to the south, the British had to send all the air forces they could to use to fight against the Luftwaffe fighter force that had gained a foothold in the Netherlands.

However, the British searched through the list of weapons in their hands, and could not find a weapon that could compete with the Luftwaffe FW-190D fighters, and finally found that the aircraft that could barely be counted as the same grade turned out to be the smuggled German ME-109C fighter.

But this fighter was castrated by Germany, so the engine performance did not meet the needs of the fight against the FW-190D. It just so happened that the British had no shortage of engines, and they happened to have an engine developed for the new fighter that had just been completed, so the British stuffed this Rolls-Royce engine into the ME-109C fighter and hurriedly made an advanced fighter with a speed comparable to the FW-190D.

It is for this reason that in the skies of southern Belgium, a scene of a combat battle between an improved ME-109C fighter of the British Royal Air Force and a German FW-190D fighter is now taking place.

This time, the German fighters could no longer torture the British pilots with dive acceleration, nor could they bully the clumsy dreadnoughts with rolling and circling, they had to honestly fight their opponents for skill and courage.

Just as the British sailors in the navy were often able to rely on the Nelson spirit to defeat a strong enemy, the Luftwaffe often used Richthofen as its own motivation and goal, and they relied on experienced fighting skills and familiarity with aircraft to defeat more powerful opponents.

Garland controlled the planes and maintained a high degree of coordination with the wingman, and the two planes covered each other to shuttle back and forth among the enemy planes. They took advantage of the fighter's better roll performance and excellent climb performance to maneuver with the opponent's ME-109C fighter, relying on patience and skill to repeatedly chase the opponent's tail.

"Which bastard sold the ME-109 fighter to the British! I'm going to break his jaw when I go back!" Garland whined loudly as he pushed the joystick of his plane, "Wingman! Roll to the left! Two in a row! We're going to get rid of them and regain altitude!"

"Wingman understands!" The wingman's voice came over the headset: "You start rolling, I'll rush to the front, you can kill the enemy plane in the tail! They are firing at us! I'm dodging! I'm dodging." ”

Garland pushed the joystick hard to his left, and the pedals under his feet staggered, and the engine of his FW-190D fighter began to "hum" and roar, and the whole plane began to somersault sideways, and the speed slowed down.

The wingman who was originally behind Garland continued to fly in a straight line swaying from side to side, and rushed past Garand's plane at once. In just a few seconds, a British ME-109C fighter jet also rushed over, and Garland could even see the dense rivets on the British fighter.

If it weren't for the change in the engine, which caused a lot of changes in the nose of the British ME-109C fighter, Garland would have almost thought that it had collided with the ME-109A fighter piloted by Germany's own people. After being doggling in the air for so long, he was also absolutely sure that this British improved ME-109 fighter was already about the same as the ME-109A used by the German army itself.

He threw away the cranky thoughts in his mind and let the plane's engine accelerate suddenly, so the fighter with Mickey Mouse painted on it caught up with the British fighter who had just passed in front, and he ignored it, and used the sight in front of the cockpit to lasso the tail of the British plane, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The tracer drew a straight line towards the British plane, which probably also had a premonition that something was wrong for him, and immediately began to pull up and climb, hoping to use the speed advantage to avoid Garand's attack. Garland didn't talk nonsense, and after reminding his wingman in the intercom, he followed the tail of the plane and pulled it up at the same time.

The cannon did not stop, but continued its firing action with the nose raised. The shells drew beautiful parabolas in the sky due to inertia, but as the two planes maneuvered, the tracer shells hit the wings of the British plane in front.

"Wingman! I hit him! Keep climbing with me! We're going to go up to the clouds and get rid of these British planes. Garland saw that he had succeeded, and immediately ordered loudly.

The wings of the British fighter jet that had been hit in the wing began to smoke, but the pilot quickly jumped out of the cockpit, and then the plane, which had lost control, began to fall to the ground, and the British pilot also pulled his parachute, slowly falling with the open white parachute.

Behind his plane, the wingman had returned to its original position with a simple climb maneuver, and then replied: "The British planes are also regaining altitude, and their planes are about the same speed as ours, and they play in a similar way." ”

"That's the export version of the ME-109 fighter we eliminated...... Garland kept the fighter flying, while observing the surroundings to see if there were any British planes catching up, and said to his wingman: "Don't count on speed, they are about the same speed as ours, use the method of alternate cover, one by one." ”

"Our planes, those businessmen who export weapons should have been pulled out and shot!" the wingman shook his joystick as he followed Garland as he climbed altitude.

"I've already complained once! Stop complaining! Adjust the altitude and let's start diving! Remember the height control, don't go too low. Garland pushed the joystick forward sharply as he gave the order to attack: "Attack the British fighters who bite the tail of our planes, don't waste ammunition!"

The two planes rushed forward and backward into the slightly lower combat circle, and Garland found a British fighter that was biting the FW-190D fighter and opened fire fiercely at the British fighter from a lightning fast start.

The bullet was fired towards the British plane's path, which means that the bullet was fired first, and then waited for the opponent's plane to hit the bullet, and if the opponent changed the flight path, it was also considered to help the friendly army drive away the tail.

However, the target that Garland found was obviously not so high in aerial combat, and the British plane had not yet realized that it had changed from a hunter to a prey, and it crashed headlong into Garand's fire, the engine was immediately hit and burned, and the glass of the cockpit was shattered by bullets from above.

Garland saw with his own eyes that the pilot inside was hit by a 13 mm caliber machine gun, and the British pilot's face smashed directly on the dashboard of his plane motionless, because his body pressed the control stick of the plane, so the plane immediately began a violent dive action, and quickly dived towards the ground. After only a dozen seconds, it crashed headlong into the farmland and exploded with a terrible explosion.

A number of black dots appeared in the sky, and the height was about around the clouds. The German fighter jets burst into cheers over the radio. The world is so unfair that the Luftwaffe, which has 2,000 FW-190D fighters, has no intention of playing chivalry with the British Air Force, which has only modified a few dozen ME-109C fighters.

After discovering that the British army had dispatched a highly skilled flying unit flying improved German export ME-109C fighters, the Luftwaffe front-line commander-in-chief, Major General Dick, prepared 200 FW-190D fighters for this special British fighter unit, with the aim of entangling the opponent and surrounding and annihilating it.

This is also the main reason why the Luftwaffe dared to put fighter jets into the front-line battle, that is, so far, the number of German fighters in any airspace is absolutely superior to that of British and French fighters.

As soon as they saw the German planes rushing to support, the British planes naturally knew that they were outnumbered and immediately began to scatter and flee, but the German fighters, which were still ahead in speed, still chased and attacked fiercely, and the British planes, which had been fighting more and less locally, immediately became chaotic. The losses are starting to grow.

Garland covers his wingman and locks on to an escaping British fighter jet, watching his wingman fire and hitting the British plane before the two men stop the pursuit as they run out of ammunition.

The Luftwaffe pilots won the battle not so easily, as they shot down 11 British planes and lost a record 7 fighters themselves. For the first time, the Germans had lost so many fighters in a single battle, and this situation also distressed Major General Dick, who was in command.

Of course, no one knew that Britain had exhausted the last bit of blood, and the RAF had lost five of the same improved ME-109C fighters in the last few firefights, and with the 11 lost in this battle, more than two-thirds of their fighters had been destroyed, and the pilots had already lost a full 10 men - a loss that the fragile RAF could not afford, both in terms of aircraft and pilots.

The remaining four ME-109C modified fighters were urgently repatriated by the RAF, and the air commanders had given orders that until the new fighters were deployed on a large scale, they would no longer commit sporadic attempts to counter German air power.

Another attempt resulted in another failure, and the Anglo-French air power completely lost air supremacy over Belgium. German fighter jets were unscrupulous in the skies over northwestern France and Belgium, destroying bridges and damaging railways, making it difficult for hundreds of thousands of British and French troops to move an inch, but more terrible news came later, the Belgian troops failed to hold Brussels, and the German Army Group B rushed south, once again biting the tail of the main force of the British and French forces in Belgium.
