Because according to the British tactics, if a fleet is completely destroyed, the remaining few aircraft will be arranged at some secondary airports to wait for regrouping. And if this fleet is only damaged, for example, if there are still squadron-sized aircraft, then the fleet will still return to the original air base for rest. Therefore, in order to find the most critical targets among the hundreds of real or fake British airports, Raul must release a batch of British bombers!
As a result, the third wave of interceptors had to put down their best job and began air combat with the British fighters that arrived. It stands to reason that the k-4m interceptors with increased defensive armor and firepower have poor maneuverability, except for speed. In addition, the performance is not the opponent of the camel fighter, but in the subsequent battle, these warriors who are good at dealing with giant beasts actually stabilized their opponents!
"These little guys are so naive, they actually want to fight us head-on!" A German pilot was surprised to see that the opposite camel almost rushed towards the k4m interceptor, instead of using the advantage of maneuvering for tail chase or Dive attack. And after a brief surprise, just a 3-second burst. The crazy British pilot and his plane were beaten into fly ash by the dense shells, and the other party's efforts only left a few bullet marks on the k4m cockpit armor!
And then, the tragic death of their companions made the heads of the British fighter pilots a little more alive. They tried to avoid these deadly long kisses like sailfish. The small weight of the camel plane gave them a very good climb. They started As the commander taught them, use the climb to gain altitude, and then use the altitude to convert it into speed to launch an attack from the opponent's tail.
However, the correct tactics did not achieve good results. In this engagement, many British fighters took the attack position, but they were unable to achieve the results due to various reasons. Afterwards, a German pilot described his process of throwing off British fighters.
"A three-aircraft formation appeared in my 6 o'clock directions. At that time, when I found them, they were about 800 meters together. These guys launched their attacks almost in a textbook style. The aircraft on both sides provided cover, and the aircraft in the middle was responsible for the attack. I quickly discovered that their lead plane was a rookie. I moved the operating lever gently, and the camels behind them shook their noses like a vigilant cobra. Although it didn’t consume much energy, it exposed it. He is nervous and inexperienced."
"At a distance of 500 meters! When their machine guns were about to be attached, I quickly swayed to the right, and then quickly dived and rolled to the left. The British behind quickly followed, his The reaction was really fast. He quickly discovered that my right turn was a false shot, and then wanted to point the nose of the aircraft in the right direction, but unfortunately, he had lost the window of attack because he was flying at high speed. , His previous wrong right turn produced a very high torque, and the torque generated by the clockwise rotation of the engine made him unable to keep up with my movements. My twin-engine aircraft did not have this problem. On the one hand, it was because of mine. The airplane is heavier. On the other hand, because the two engines are counter-rotating, the torque of the engine propellers exactly cancel each other."
(Propeller aircraft engines will produce a moment. For example, if the propeller of an aircraft rotates clockwise, the aircraft will turn right very quickly because it moves along the moment. If it turns left, it must first overcome the rotation of the propeller. The torque can only be turned. The more powerful the aircraft, the lighter the airframe, the more obvious this phenomenon is. This is why the contra-rotating propeller appeared after the end of World War II, through two propellers rotating in opposite directions on a shaft. Balance off the torque.)
"And then, the actions of the British proved that the two wingmen were also rookies.... One of the wingmen directly followed the lead plane and turned in the wrong direction, while the other plane rushed over in panic. He was lucky, he chose a suitable angle, and he rushed into the shooting range of the backseat machine gunner. Then, two mg machine guns easily smashed the cockpit of this guy! My guy and I were inexplicable A kill was made..." The German pilot then made a helpless gesture.
However, it is a pity that this time, the executioner interceptor brigade did not take long to enjoy this hunting activity, because soon the arrival of J4 fighters and J6 single-engine fighters made the British finally give up resistance. They lost their bombers and began to flee the battlefield. In this way, it took only 45 minutes from the attack by the German interceptor unit to the destruction of the British. In this period of time, the British lost more than 40 aircraft of various types! And the situation of easily crushing the opponent like this has not happened before!
"It's just the afterglow of the setting sun At this time, the red baron Richthofen who rushed to the battlefield took off his goggles and looked at the British fleet fleeing wildly in the distance and sighed.
At the same time, 5 British bomber units were discovered and 4 were successfully intercepted. A British bomber group code-named Heron defended the final dignity of the Royal Air Force. Under the cover of 28 camels and dh9 fighters, more than 40 The fb27 bomber successfully attacked a transportation hub, blasting hundreds of tons of materials and several trains to pieces. However, in the subsequent retaliatory attack, the Heron fleet also suffered heavy losses. The bombers lost almost mediocre losses, and only 6 fighters returned!
"Your Excellency Commander, our situation now seems to be very bad. In just a few hours this morning, we have lost more than three-digit aircraft! All our attacks did not seem to hide from the Germans. , And they mobilized a group of interceptors beyond our imagination and rushed out from all directions in a very short time. It was as if we had entered a preset ambush circle, which was simply incredible.” In Dunkirk In the British Expeditionary Force Air Force Command, a staff officer gathered the latest information and sent it to Trenchard and reported it.
"It's really incredible. Most of our orders this time are sent through telephone lines. They shouldn't be intercepted as easily as radios. Some key orders are even sent by personnel. Before we act, Germany has absolutely no information. Immediately afterwards, Trenchard looked at the sky again.
