Chapter 582： Equipment gap

In history, the British air battle ended in Germany's defeat. That was because Germany was mainly the offensive party and they needed to fly over Britain. At that time, the BF109 had a serious shortage of range, which prevented them from letting go.

Moreover, no matter how good a pilot is, there will always be times when he misses. For British pilots, it doesn't matter if you fall, as long as you don't fall to death, pat the dirt on your body and continue fighting.

However, it is not enough for German pilots. Once parachuting, they are either dead or captured. Therefore, from the personnel point of view, Germany can only be continuously consumed.

Now, the situation is different. The airspace where the two sides are fighting is only the narrow English Channel. Over the strait, hundreds of fighter planes are gathered, rolling back and forth, fighting, and dazzling.

Obviously an airplane was chasing, and in a flash, it became attacked by other airplanes. Fighters continued to drag black smoke down from the sky.

At this time, even the people who were quickly operating their ships on the sea were looking up intermittently, watching the battle in the sky, it was really too intense!

"No!" Fisherman Bailey shouted loudly from his fishing boat. He looked up at the sky. Fighters painted with blue, white and red circle signs were constantly falling down.

Of course he recognized that it was his own fighter!

The fall of one plane after another is quite bad. Can your own air force defeat the Luftwaffe?

He looked up, looked at a pilot, jumped out of the cabin, and then a white umbrella bloomed in the air. He immediately changed direction and drove toward the direction where the opponent fell.

He can't help but save.

If the pilot was still alive when he jumped down, he may have been rescued if he jumped down to the sea. However, if he jumped down, he would be injured, and he might have been unconscious when he fell into the sea.

In this way, the other party has no hope of surviving, and the parachute rope will entangle him, entangle him like a rice dumpling, and let him be swallowed in the sea.

Everyone is saved. As an old fisherman who has been wandering at sea for decades, Bailey’s face is bronzed, and his beard is covered with crystal drops of water. His eyes are full of concern. .

As Churchill advertised, these people were like his children, whether it was an expeditionary force on the other side or an airplane in the sky.

"Wow." At this moment, on his boat gang, an exhausted naked man climbed up.

This man had obviously been swimming in the sea for a long time. His whole body was red and his chest was undulating. After coming up, he lay there and couldn't get up anymore.

"Who are you?" Bailey asked.

"Expeditionary Army, 3rd Infantry Division, Division Commander, Montgomery." Montgomery said to the fisherman: "Please observe the sea more. My people should be nearby."

Montgomery finally swam over. At this time, he had reached the middle of the strait. The dozen kilometers of swimming had almost exhausted his strength.

You know, those who will cross the English Channel in later generations are fully prepared and have enough physical strength, but what about them? He marched quickly, fought, and finally failed before jumping into the sea.

When they entered the sea, in fact, most of the strength of many people has been consumed.

The coverage of the rockets made them only a few people able to swim, and some of these people were exhausted while swimming, and eventually were swept away by the waves and disappeared without a trace, like Montgomery. , It is completely relying on survival instinct to persist.

He hoped to rescue his men, but Bailey looked around and saw nothing at all. No new swimmer was found on the sea.

Montgomery was lying on this fishing boat, looking at the sky. This air battle was going very fiercely, but the German side firmly had the upper hand!

Within ten minutes, more than a dozen Spitfires fell down, but only one German fighter was damaged. This ratio is absolutely unacceptable.

Without air supremacy, the expeditionary force that wants to save one's own side is even more difficult.

"Wow." The pilot who fell into the water was pulled up by Bailey. He drank a lot of sea water. Now, when he lay on the boat, spit out weakly, he would feel better.

"It's not that our pilots are not brave, it's the performance gap of our fighters." Montgomery couldn't help but regretfully said, just like on land. It's not that our fighters are not brave, but because our tanks are too poor. , Can't compete with the Germans at all.

This is true on land, and it is true on the ocean.

"It's the rescued pilot on the side of , who also gritted his teeth at this time: "The German airplanes are simply terrible. They can directly perform negative g maneuvers. If we want to do it, we can only Roll over and then dive to maintain positive g, so as to prevent the engine from stalling due to fuel cut. "

Just now, he was shot down by other German fighters because he made such a maneuver, which caused his slow movements. Before, they never knew that the German fighters were definitely not using carburetors. !

Just this small gap makes the German fighter invincible. When one is following the other side and then aiming and firing, the other side will get rid of it as soon as it makes such a maneuver!

And once one is bitten by the opponent, there is almost no possibility of escape!

Your own fighters are powerful enough to climb quickly, and are also good to go in circles in the horizontal direction, but the German fighters do not take the bait at all.

It can be said that there are already a large number of old fritters among German pilots!

Montgomery finally gave up continuing to observe in the sky, and he closed his eyes silently.

He can already guess that Britain is afraid that it will really lose. If the expeditionary army cannot withdraw, then Britain will be greatly injured. Can the narrow English Channel stop the Germans' attack?

Do not! God will not let that lunatic rule all of Europe!

God will help the British Empire. Even if the British Isles are conquered, Britain will not perish. Britain still has its imperial subjects overseas. They will continue to fight until the New World takes out everything when God thinks it is appropriate. Power to save and liberate this old world!

At this moment, he remembered Churchill's speech, Britain has never been conquered! Mobile users please browse and read,
