Imperial Overlord

"Straw hat, I'm hatchet, I found the German bomber formation, just ahead of us at 12 o'clock!" In the sky, the British interceptor force had reached the designated airspace.

A full 30 Spitfire fighters, covering the Hurricane fighters responsible for attacking the German bomber force, were also black in the sky.

This is more than 100 fighter jets that intercepted the German army. Judging from the size, it is already very large.

The British Hurricane fighter pilot nicknamed the Straw Hat drove his plane and entered the attack angle: "I'm about to descend and fire, you follow me!"

The Hurricane fighters were equally aggressive one after the other, and they could theoretically be far more effective than the German bomber fleet.

"Dive! Dive! Aim at their engines and fire!" On the radio, the British pilots screamed loudly as they drove their planes towards the densely packed German bomber group.

"Fire! Fire!" Following the order, the British Hurricane fighters began to disrupt the defensive formation of the German bombers. In the sky, tracers were intertwined like fishing nets.

"Pay attention to those different planes, that's an ME-110 fighter! It's not a bomber!" Mr. Straw Hat loudly reminded his comrades while accelerating the dive to attack a German HE-111 bomber.

Because of the interference of bullets, he did not hit the engine of the plane, but only hit the huge wing, leaving a row of holes in it.

The pilot with him was a novice who had not experienced the French campaign, and he was not able to distinguish the type of German aircraft in the confusion.

Compared with the HE-111 bomber, which lacks self-defense capabilities, the ME-110 used in combat is more powerful.

So attacking HE-111 is a very simple and safe way, but attacking ME-110 is another matter.

"Break up their formations! Divide them so that they don't use formations to cover each other!" Hatchet reminded others while driving his plane to avoid the dense rain of bullets.

Like Straw Hat, he is an old pilot who has experienced the French campaign, so he knows how difficult these opponents are, and he will lose his life if he is not careful.

The Hurricane fighter flexibly shuttled back and forth among the German bombers, making it extremely agile.

This is a bad age. Although the design of the Hurricane fighter is outdated, it is better than the more outdated HE-111.

Therefore, although the Hurricane is not qualified as an air superiority fighter, it is completely sufficient and competent as an interceptor for fighters, or as an attack aircraft with bombs.

The British did not expect that the Luftwaffe would let ME-110 fighter jets hide in bomber formations and act as escorts.

Likewise, the Germans did not anticipate their first day attack, and the British took off so many planes to intercept them.

During the French campaign, these German bomber pilots who were responsible for bombing and destroying had become accustomed to their own skies.

At that time, German fighter jets swept across the French battlefield, providing bomber forces with very good air supremacy.

However, now, the situation seems to have fundamentally changed. This sky does not belong to the Luftwaffe yet, and the air supremacy here is still being fought for!

"Evasion! British fighter jets! Fire! Fire!" The Luftwaffe's radio was also in chaos at this time.

The attacked German bomber group was desperately firing, and the 7.92mm caliber machine guns they used for self-defense were obviously not as useful as they thought.

These self-defense machine guns are not very ballistic in the sky, and their power is really limited.

For the thick-skinned Hurricane fighter, the German 7.92 caliber machine gun can only leave a row of holes in the fuselage of the aircraft, but it cannot really destroy these skinny aircraft.

However, at this time, if you don't grasp the weapon in your hand, there is really no other way.

HE-111 has a retractable belly machine gun turret... I don't know who invented this exciting gameplay, it's hard to imagine someone willing to be pushed out of the plane through glass at an altitude of 4000 meters...

Therefore, compared with the mature B-25 of the Allied forces, classic designs such as the B-17, and bombers such as the Lancaster, the Germans are really different in bomber design.

Controlling the machine gun in his hand and pouring his ammunition desperately against the British fighter jets rolling in the sky became the only thing the German pilots could do.

"Tutu! Tutu!" The vibration of the gun body and the tracer bullets flying out of the muzzle provided some courage to the German pilots.

Moreover, after completing the attack mission, the German aircraft formation was also returning home. They fought a time lag and almost completed their mission satisfactorily.

There was chaos in the sky, and soon the first German bomber to be shot down, dragged a long black smoke, and fell to the ground of Britain.

A crash in such a place is considered good luck. If it crashes in the icy North Atlantic, it would be called a tragic reminder.

Because it was an offensive operation, the downed plane, together with the pilots on the plane, was a real loss to the Luftwaffe.

"A plane was shot down!" The battle had only just begun, and apparently there were still people who were mad at this commonplace thing.

But then, when the second and third HE-111s were shot down, no one said such boring things anymore.

"The loss is bigger than expected! Our self-defense capability is too weak!" the bomber commander shouted into the radio: "If you don't take action, we will be finished!"

"Then! It's our turn to take action!" Above the sky, higher than the white clouds, one after another ME-109E fighter jets dived down.

These new fighter jets that dominate European skies now have a slight technological advantage.

In traditional projects such as climbing, it is better than the most advanced Spitfire fighter in the UK today.

One after another, the ME-109E fighter jets rushed down the clouds, which suddenly brought huge pressure to the British.

All veteran British pilots who have experienced the French campaign still remember the terrible things they encountered over France.

Those German fighter jets used their unparalleled speed to easily get rid of their pursuit, and then turned around and shot down the Hurricane fighter with ease.

"Pull up! Pull up! The German fighter jets are here!" In the earphones, someone with sharp eyes suddenly saw the German fighter jets entering the battle circle.

"Roll! Dodge!" On the other side, a Hurricane fighter also realized the crisis and loudly reminded the friendly forces that were attacking the German bomber.

It's a pity that he was a step too late. The German fighter jets hit these unfortunate hurricanes, and then used their high speed to fly away.

The Spitfire was also entangled by another group of German fighters, and the Hurricane, which lost cover, was more difficult to deal with than the HE-111, but it was no match for the numerically superior German fighter force.

Another plane crashed in the sky, but this time it wasn't a fragile HE-111 bomber, but a Hurricane fighter.

"There's an ambush! There's an ambush! German fighter jets! Fight! Fight!" The British pilots, who found that something was wrong, immediately threw away the German bombers they had eaten and began to regroup.

Fighter air combat is about the fighting skills of pilots and the tactical execution of fighter formations. The British fighters who had lost the formation because of the pursuit of German fighters had to quickly reorganize the formation at this time.

These fighters began to break away from the entanglement of attacking the German bombers, but the German fighters held on to the British fighters tightly, as if they were going to fight to the death.

Then a very strange scene appeared. The German fighter jets chased the British fighter jets, and kept driving them far away, only to get away from the return flight in an instant.

As soon as the German fighter jets left, the British fighter jets realized that they had suffered a big loss~www.readwn.com~ Because of the free hunting of the dominant German fighter jets, it seems that the German aircraft they shot down were not much more than they lost!

According to statistics, they shot down about 15 German HE-111 bombers and two ME-110 fighters.

But at the same time they shot down a full 20 Hurricanes along the way, and a Spitfire crashed.

"The Germans have an ambush! The Germans have an ambush! Stop the interception and return quickly!" The morale of the British fighter troops who returned home was low.

The radio earphones were filled with news that their squadron had been shot down, and some planes were even contacting alternate airports because the airport they took off from had been destroyed and could not land.

They didn't have time to stop the Germans from bombing their homeland. Instead, they lost more planes because they were surrounded by disadvantage.

On the first day of the Battle of Britain, they lost more than 70 aircraft, while the Germans lost only 46 in various theaters.

Most of the Luftwaffe planes crashed due to ground artillery fire, but the Germans attacked the airfield unexpectedly, causing more losses to the British Air Force.

The good news is that while the Germans suffered less losses, the losses were real, including the pilots.

However, the British lost very few pilots. The parachuting pilots could return to the team soon, and only those who were directly hit were really lost.

The problem now is that this attack came suddenly, and the German army achieved an astonishing result of the ground attack. Although this victory cannot be seen in a short period of time, it will gradually become apparent over time.

By that time, British air defense operations...may be more difficult.
