Chapter 579: Hitthofen United

Air dominance will determine the outcome of the war. The party with air dominance has absolute initiative. No matter how advanced the weapons and equipment on the ground are, even the Panther 3 tanks are afraid of blows from the sky.

The British know this truth, and the Germans know it even more.

The battle for air supremacy over the English Channel began just before the end of the French campaign.

The first to arrive in Calais is the JG2 Richthofen Wing of the Luftwaffe. Yes, this is the WWI, named after the famous German ace pilot Richthofen.

Up to now, this wing has a total of 3 brigades and hundreds of combat aircraft.

After receiving the mission, they moved overnight and stationed in the newly opened base more than 100 kilometers behind Calais. It was caused today. After dawn, they were ready for battle and took off. Up.

In later generations, the range of an aircraft is an important indicator. Aircraft with a small range are called airport guards. In fact, this is based on the way of combat.

The German army is advancing rapidly, and in the process of advancing, the air force in the rear will arrive in time, staying more than 100 kilometers away from the ground forces of its own, and providing air support at any time.

In this case, the range of the aircraft is not important. It is completely fine to improve the flight performance by reducing the fuel load factor of the aircraft.

For example, bf109, is such a task, they do not need too much range, they need powerful performance. Just like the thinking of the later MiG-29, they only provide tactical support.

The current Richthofen wing is not as famous as Richthofen. This is a flying wing that was created last year. Two-thirds of its pilots have just graduated from aviation school. of.

However, its commanders are all experienced pilots, even veterans of flight during the First World War.

For example, the commander of the Flying Wing, Colonel Robert von Graim, came from that cruel World War I. Now, he is sitting in a bf109 fighter jet and is commanding this large fleet.

When the German team took control of Calais, a radar antenna was erected in Calais to monitor the whereabouts of the opposite side. Therefore, the build-up of the British air force on the opposite side could not be hidden from their eyes.

"Attention, after approaching, fight in a four-finger formation, with the lead plane and the wingman in cooperation, for the sake of Germany, let us defeat the British Air Force!"

On the radio, Colonel Graham shouted.

This will be a battle that goes down in history. Over the English Channel, they will have a large fleet of battles!

Before entering the battle, they were a large fleet, but when they entered the battlefield, the large fleet would quickly disintegrate.

Unless it is a bomber, even if it has been beaten all the time, it is necessary to maintain a dense formation. The fighter jets will soon disperse.

So, how do they fight after they disperse? Is it alone?

of course not!

The Luftwaffe has developed a complete set of tactics, which is the four-finger formation.

After a pause, he continued: "Attention, once you are bitten by a British fighter, immediately roll down with a negative g and get rid of it. Don't hover with the British on a horizontal surface!"

Now, this war is not a level contest at all.

The Luftwaffe has also begun to replace the fw190 on a large scale, but the bf109 is still the main fighter. Then, if you want to win in air combat, you must know yourself and your enemy.

Up to now, the performance of German fighter jets is still kept secret, but the performance of British Spitfire fighter jets is already well known by Germany.

Use the opponent's weakness to defeat the opponent, this is the best way!

On the edge of the fleet, Lieutenant Helmut Wick was welcoming his era.

He was born in 1915 and is now less than 25 years old. It is the most golden age for a person. In 35 years, he joined the Air Force. After several twists and turns, he came to the newly formed jg2 wing.

In the battle in France, his coalition joined the battle, but so far, he has not achieved any results.

Because the German offensive was so sudden, a large number of French aircraft were wiped out on the ground in the first place, and there were not many aircraft launched by France, and their performance was not good.

As a result, Vic performed dozens of battle cruises, but nothing was gained.

He is holding back his fighting spirit, and now he finally has a chance. It is said that there will be hundreds of British fighters on the opposite side, and there must be his prey in it!

When he was a boy, beside his pillow, there was a book by the hero Richthofen. At that time, he yearned to become a pilot. Now, he can finally fight like his idol. Up!

Now ~www.novelhall.com~ the sky is clear. From here, you can even directly see the opposite side of the strait. There, at an altitude of about three kilometers, there is a fighter plane flying towards this side!

Discover the British Air Force!

Just after the British Air Force fighters were discovered, the large fleet began to disperse quickly, and the British Air Force fighters on the opposite side quickly spotted them, and the battle between the two sides began.

"Spitfire, the other party uses a Spitfire!" Sitting in his cockpit, Vic shouted loudly.

At this time, their entire group of aircraft had separated, and Vic was at the end of the four-finger formation of his team.

The four-finger formation refers to the arrangement of four aircraft in an asymmetrical wedge formation. From the ground, it looked like a person's four fingers, and Vic, where he was, was the little finger at the end.

This four-aircraft formation is a combination of two dual-aircraft formations, which has greater flexibility. On the left front of Vic, is his lead aircraft, Lieutenant Klee.

"Vick, pay attention, follow me." Lieutenant Klee shouted over the radio.

Sure enough, it was fire breathing!

The Spitfire is a new fighter developed by the British Air Force. From the data point of view, it is no different from the own bf109. Moreover, due to the large engine power of the other side, it is even better for climbing.

Therefore, the tactics they used to deal with aircraft of other countries in the past were to dive at a high altitude, climb up when they missed a hit, get rid of the opponent, and then come down to attack. This tactic is no longer practical.

With absolute strength, they will also defeat each other!

The liquid-cooled engine in front was roaring, and the oxygen mask was buckled. Vic followed his formation and began to climb. The altitude is always good, and that represents energy. Mobile users please browse and read,
