No one could have imagined what it would be like for German pilots to look up at the sky and look at the hundreds of Allied bombers flying over their heads in real historical time and space, after looking at the dense markings of their own aircraft's fuselage.

No one can know how desperate and helpless those battle-hardened German ace pilots were driving their own planes and rushing to their opponents dozens of times their own strength in a single force, and when they were helplessly shuttling like moths in the dense fire of enemy planes.

In real history, a German ace pilot once crashed into an Allied bomber with his plane in despair in an air battle in 1945, his behavior was spontaneous, but the outcome was sad - this also outlined a difficult situation for the Luftwaffe at that time: they had done everything they could, but unfortunately they could not stop those terrible war machines from destroying their homeland.

The pilot, Heinrich Ehle, shot down 208 enemy planes in his lifetime. Judging from the record alone, he is enough to be called an excellent fighter pilot, so that this kind of person loses confidence in himself, how lonely and desperate is it?

In real history, a Luftwaffe commander sadly told his men: "The acrobatic independent battle is over. No more searching and hiding in the sky, chasing each other, grabbing each other's tails to enter, choosing the right time to shoot at your chosen target, and so on. All this is in the past, and the fighters are no longer facing the opposing pilots, but a huge air fleet, a whole bunch of machine gunners who tie themselves to the turret with belts, infantry in the sky. Therefore, these fighter pilots can only use large formations to fight in the end. ”

Now, at this very moment, the British pilots in Iceland are facing the test of such extreme conditions. Not 100 German bombers, not 200, but 380 in front of them! How spectacular are these planes gathered together? Find one of the most congested streets in the most congested city, and stand on one side and look out the other -- all the cars you see add up to probably not as many as 380!

At this time, imagine a handout with a leaflet in his hand, who tries to stuff the leaflet in his hand into the window of every car - can you feel the devastation of these British fighter pilots now?

The infrastructure in Iceland is very imperfect, so the number of aircraft that can be accommodated at the same time is really small, and when the Allies deployed more than 300 bombers here in one go, they took up so many resources in the entire Icelandic airfield that it was impossible to deploy more fighters at the same time.

Originally, this was supposed to be a classic surprise attack against Germany, but by the time the Germans organized a counterattack, Iceland became a dispensable outcast. When the Germans come to Iceland to bomb, they will only be confronted with a bunch of worthless cement facilities -- the Americans are bombing the iron ore factories in Norway, and the Germans can only bomb the Icelandic military bases, and everyone will consume ammunition and fuel together and lose valuable pilots, and this is the rhythm that the United States wants to see the most.

Unfortunately, no one could have imagined that the Germans would come so quickly that they had not yet consumed the mountains of military supplies in Iceland. Nearly 100 B-17 bombers that could not take off due to breakdowns and maintenance, tens of thousands of tons of high-quality aviation fuel, and mountains of aerial bombs. It was impossible to take away so much in a short time, that is, it had to be left here for the Germans to destroy.

More than 100 B-17 bombers have already been given orders for emergency takeoff, and these planes do not have sufficient preparation time and simply have no time or means to load valuable military supplies. They had to fill up the fuel as fast as they could, and then hurried west to flee the land that was about to be destroyed by the Germans.

Contrary to these American bombers were the pitiful 36 fighters of the British and American air forces, which were divided into three forces and scattered into this fundamentally unequal interception air battle. The reason why these few poor forces are scattered is also because of the helpless actions made by these aircraft because of the difference in command and performance.

As a very talented British Air Force commander, Hugh Dowding was certainly reluctant to distract what he had of air defense. But in the end, he reluctantly found that the best way to use these planes was to let them fight separately. The American fighters were not subordinate to the British Icelandic air defense forces in command, so bringing them over temporarily affected their performance.

The British's own Meteor fighters were so fast that they had surpassed the remaining P-40 Rolls-Royce modifications, so they could only fight in separate formations - the only remaining P-40 Rolls-Royce modifications of the British could also be formed into a team.

After a brief discussion, the British and Americans came to a unanimous agreement: the three forces should shoot down as many German bombers as possible from three directions, break up the bomber formations, and protect the ground facilities to survive the bombing as much as possible.

After countless improvements, the Americans' P-40 Rolls-Royce improved fighter can finally barely fight German planes at an altitude of 10,000 meters, but it barely flies to this height, after all, it is only barely flying. The Americans have begun to focus on the development of their P-51 fighter jet, and German intelligence has been informed of this, hearing that the prototypes have already completed test flights.

It is a pity that the British Air Force does not have a new type of aircraft like the P-51 in their hands at this moment, and they can only use outdated or unreliable gadgets against a formidable opponent who has been bullied to their doorstep.

"My God......" The first British pilot, hiding in the clouds, saw the German bomber group and was so frightened by what he saw that he could not speak very well. He saw a large group of planes under black pressure, and he couldn't count them, and these planes seemed to have no end, stretching all the way to the end of the sky in the distance.

"Find the target!" James, the commander of the British Royal Air Force and the ace pilot born of the British Homeland Air Combat with the rank of Captain, piloted his own P-40 fighter jet, frowned and reported to the ground command center: "They are overwhelming, unless they are blind, they can be found at a casual glance." ”

"Climb, climb, prepare for the first dive attack, all pilots, pay attention, all pilots! Full throttle! We don't have much time to jump above their heads! Take advantage of this precious opportunity!" James gave the order to attack loudly, and then he began to add power to the engines, allowing his P-40 fighter to climb above the enemy planes as quickly as possible.

He was the first to break out of the clouds, and then behind the P-40, one after the other, the P-40 fighters, all picked up speed and rushed out. A full 19 planes, like proud knights, rushed towards a full 380 German bombers.

"Long live Your Majesty!" one of the pilots cried over the radio! Although they all tried to calm themselves, his voice trembled slightly in the face of an enemy 20 times his size.

Soon they were in the sky slightly higher than the German bombers, and the hoarse trembling of the engines proved that they were not capable of flying any higher. So the planes switched to level flight, and then began to accelerate into a dive state, rapidly approaching the well-formed German bombers.

......

"Enemy planes are coming!" a German pilot saw these brave British warriors as he began to climb from the British plane. He thought he would find more British planes, but when he saw a dozen British planes desperately climbing and approaching, he knew that the enemy was not as strong as he had first estimated.

At the time of takeoff, the Germans estimated that the British would take off and intercept more than 100 planes, so this time General Dick was even prepared to lose 100 bombers. However, it now seems that the Germans did overestimate the British defenses, and the number of enemy aircraft was only half of the estimated at best.

However, they still did not relax their vigilance, after all, in German intelligence, the British also had a "new fighter" that flew very fast and made a lot of noise. The document mentions the aircraft as a new jet fighter that is faster and more intense.

As the radio heard more and more sounds of preparation for battle, the machine-gun turrets of the German bombers were pointed in the direction of the British planes. A female cannon shooter pulls the bolt and pushes the first shell into the chamber. She stared at the distant black dots through the aiming circle crosshair, no expression on her face.

"Attention all pilots! Keep in formation! Don't panic! Give our shooters the most stable attack platform, and they will be able to take out those vulnerable fighters before the enemy planes shoot you down!" the front commander of the German bomber group shouted to all the pilots over the intercom.

"Long live Führer Accardo, Rudolph!" shouted a cannon shooter in a voice that was firm and high, as if she had known that victory would eventually belong to Germany.

"Long live Germany! Long live the Führer! Wait for the enemy planes to approach before firing!" The German commander calmly ordered: "The countdown begins! Three, two, one...... Fire!"

At the same time, opposite them, in the cockpit of the light and nimble P-40 fighters, the British pilots also pressed their fire switches.
