May 28, 1940, at 10 a.m. Mission room of the Air Force airfield at the base in Brnay, Belgium.

Colonel Wolff, the chief operations officer of the newly formed Reinhardt's aviation division, was hammering the blackboard with a map of the routes.

"Quiet! Be quiet! This is not the time for you to express your opinions. Hear me out! ”

The colonel looked at the pilots below who were talking about the flight plan and felt that their heads were too big. General Reinhardt really got himself a good job. When he first received the order that he was appointed as an air division combat officer, he thought that the general was repaying him for his help in the last escort. At that time, I also wanted to work hard to repay the general's promotion. But he didn't expect that he would hand over these flight wings to himself, these are all veteran flight wings, and those pilots have also participated in countless air battles. Will he really be able to control such a group of Air Force pilots who are clearly showing arrogance? I knew that it would be better for me to stay in the base camp and be the captain of my own escort team.

"Hey, you guys, don't discuss it yet, listen to me! What's wrong with you? ”

Wolf felt like he was about to scold his mother.

"Colonel! I have a question. One of the pilots stood up and raised his arms.

"Tell me, what's wrong." That's fine, it's better to have communication than to ignore yourself and make a fool of yourself down, Colonel Wolf was at last somewhat satisfied.

"Regarding this flight plan, we don't understand that the combat methods you mentioned earlier are not suitable for our light fighters, for example, we must keep a distance from the enemy and so on." The pilot seemed to be a little indignant. "We are all fighter pilots, and when we fight the enemy, of course, the closer we are, the better, so how can we keep our distance from them."

Wolf asked, in fact, even he didn't understand why the general had developed such rules of war, and he was thinking about how to answer with his mouth open.

"It seems that everyone still doesn't fully understand the battle plan. Let me explain it to you. Xu Jun walked in from outside the door.

"Stand up!"

With a loud shout from Wolfe. The pilots all jumped up from their seats like springs, changed the expressions of indifference in front of them, and stood with their chests held up one by one, looking at their supreme commander in awe. Xu Jun saluted, and those pilots hurriedly returned the salute neatly.

Xu Jun walked up to Wolfe, smiled and asked, "Wolf, how does it feel to be a combat officer?" ”

"Report to the general, it's okay."

"Haha, it seems that you haven't integrated into these pilots yet, you have to remember that you were a pilot before you were a combat officer, and you have to look at your duties from the perspective of a pilot."

"Understood, General." Wolf began to ponder the meaning of Xu Jun's words in his heart.

Xu Jun turned around and looked at the group of pilots, and sure enough, they were elite troops, and everyone seemed to be full of their own personalities.

"I've heard you guys a little bit confused about these battle plans, and I can explain them to you. Not here, though. Now, gentlemen, come with me to the tarmac outside, where I have some new toys for you, and then you will understand my plan. Also, bring your chairs, Wolf, and get me one too. Then Xu Jun turned around and walked out of the mission room.

The pilots followed Xu Jun to the tarmac, where they found that a large area had been cleared, and several planes that had been parked there had been moved aside. In the same place where the planes were parked, there were three heavy flatbed trucks, full of goods, piled high, but covered with tarpaulins, I don't know what they were, but from the outline it was clear that they were boxes.

Xu Jun walked to the front of the truck, stopped, and nodded to Hans on the side of the truck. Hans nodded in salute. Xu Jun turned to look at the pilots, who were now standing in three small phalanxes according to their respective units, holding chairs in their hands.

"Relax, gentlemen, you are my specially selected elite from the entire Luftwaffe. Now we are not about the task, we just want to have a good exchange. Now sit down, you don't want to stand here all the time listening to me, you know that I can speak. Xu Jun said with a smile.

The pilots laughed too, and they set up their chairs and sat down. Xu Jun also sat down in the chair that Wolf had prepared for him, took a document handed over by Hans on the side, and said to the pilots with a smile.

"I would like to apologize to Officer Wolff. It's all because I didn't explain my plan to him beforehand, but these things hadn't arrived yet, so I couldn't explain them to him, hehehe, and even he didn't understand what I wanted you to do. Now that these things are here, I can let you intuitively understand your mission. ”

Xu Jun stood up and paced back and forth in front of the pilots.

"Now you must know that the British have been blockaded by us in the port of Dunkelke. Our army units have trapped them firmly on the ground. Now there are 200,000 British, Belgian, and French teams in the encirclement. We have surrounded their more than 200,000 troops in other places, and now our victory is within sight. ”

Listening to Xu Jun's words, those pilots all let out a burst of exclamation, they knew that the scale of this battle was very large, but they didn't expect to surround 400,000 enemy troops. And it was General Reinhardt in front of him who planned and commanded this battle, not to mention that he was still the acting commander-in-chief of the air force, and it seemed that he would not be able to hold this position without two moments, and they could not help but start to feel a little proud that they could be the direct force of this general.

The pilots all listened carefully to Xu Jun's words, and they were really starting to be curious about Xu Jun's air attack plan now.

"However, due to the number of enemies in the encirclement, the army will definitely pay a considerable price if it wants to eliminate them. Under my command, we will not allow soldiers to die in vain. So I decided to trap the enemy and force them to surrender while they were running out of supplies. In this way, we will not have to cost the lives of our brave German lads for this army that is destined to be wiped out.

However, we are now facing a serious problem. The British would not allow their army to be trapped in that harbor by us, they were not willing to accept the defeat of their army, and they began to prepare to flee, to escape from the sea. And our navy is not strong enough to block their sea lanes.

So, I'm ready to let our powerful air force accomplish this difficult task. Let you accomplish what the navy and army can't do, block the road from that port to the sea. ”

After listening to Xu Jun's words, the pilots below made another noise. Knowing that the mission they were about to perform turned out to be so important, the pilots were excited. Xu Jun smiled and looked at the excited pilots below, he was very satisfied with the reaction of those pilots.

He continued: "Your task now is to cut off the British retreat once and for all, and I believe that we can do this with our powerful and elite air force." But don't think that this task is easy. This blockade will be a great test for our Luftwaffe.

Because the British are not going to wait there stupidly for us to go to the blockade and bomb, they still have a lot of anti-aircraft weapons, at least those weapons have enough ammunition. And the terrain of that port is also complicated, and they have a lot of access to get on the ship. Especially there are more than 3,000 meters of soft sand, and our heavy bombs cannot exert their power on that kind of ground.

The British would also send their elite Royal Air Force to cover their retreat. You will encounter aircraft that you have never seen before and stubborn resistance that you have never encountered before. If we don't prepare well, I can guarantee that we will pay a heavy price for it. If the life of my brave fighter pilot were to be exchanged for victory, that victory would in no way give me any pride or glory. ”

When the pilots heard this, they also felt that their mission was indeed not as simple as they had just thought, and they were especially moved by Xu Jun's last words, and they now felt that fighting under such a great and noble commander might be the most honorable thing in their lives, and their attitude towards Xu Jun now changed from awe to admiration. The pilots sat there quietly, waiting for Xu Jun to continue, and they decided that Xu Jun must have prepared the best countermeasures for them.

"It was with these questions in mind that I designed the whole air raid plan. And there are also suitable weapons for everyone. Now let's take a look at the first toy I have for you. ”

Xu Jun nodded to Hans, who walked to the first truck and led several Air Force soldiers to pull down the tarpaulin that covered the cargo. Rows of brand-new ammunition boxes appeared in front of everyone. Several Air Force soldiers carried a box from the car and placed it at Xu Jun's feet, and Hans also took a square box from the cab and handed it to Xu Jun.

That ammunition box was opened, and a strange bomb appeared in front of the pilot.

"It's a "butterfly" bomb. One of the pilots, who recognized the bomb at a glance, exclaimed: "I used it in Spain, and it's good against cluster targets." ”

"Yes, it's a butterfly, but I still like his other name, "Demon Egg". Xu Jun opened the square box, and out of the submunition of a "butterfly" bullet that had been opened.

"Everybody knows how powerful these cluster bombs are, and although they are not as powerful as those heavy bombs, they are the most effective weapon against the infantry who are gathered on the beach of the docks. And these bombs in front of you have been modified according to my requirements. They were the first bombs to be dropped on Dunkirk, and their task was not to destroy, but to hinder. ”

"General, this kind of bomb can't deal with roads and buildings, how can it hinder the enemy." One of the pilots finally couldn't help but ask the question.

"What's your name?" Xu Jun asked with a smile.

"Hans, Eghard. Second Lieutenant Bob, Your Excellency General. ”

"Fighter Fifty-Fourth Wing?"

"Yes, General."

"Haha, that's good, Bob, catch it."

Xu Jun threw the submunition in his hand at Bob. The second lieutenant was startled at the time, and he hurriedly caught the small bomb.

"General, this is too dangerous, please don't throw the bomb casually." Bob complained, "It almost scared me to death." ”

"Haha, my second lieutenant Bob, this is a bomb with a defuse fuse, it won't explode. The bomb that explodes is not the most terrible, the most terrible is the bomb that has not exploded, but the bomb that is more frightening is the bomb that you know will explode but does not know when. ”

Xu Jun paused and glanced at the pilots who were nodding in agreement.

"And your task today is to drop this bomb. This most frightening bomb. Xu Jun smiled and gestured to Bob, who hurriedly threw the small bomb back to Xu Jun, who continued to talk to the pilots with the strange little thing.

"What you cast today will be a specially modified "Devil's Egg". They were fitted with four types of fuzes.

The first is an air-detonation fuse, which will detonate in the air at a distance of five meters from the ground, which is enough for the Britons to enjoy.

The second is the timed fuse, which is set at a random time, ranging from two minutes to two days, and even the person who installed it is not clear how long it takes for these things to explode after they hit the ground. Its purpose was to keep the British soldiers away from it before it exploded. I believe that by that time no one would have dared to approach it, except for the sappers of the British.

The third is against the brave British sappers. It contains a mechanical fuse, a very sophisticated machine, which activates ten seconds after it hits the ground, at which point it explodes as soon as it is taken off the ground, or if it destroys the attitude it had when it landed. The sappers who didn't tell the difference between it and a time bomb would go to God before they understood what was going on. ”

Hearing Xu Jun's words, the pilots burst into laughter.

"And what about the last one? Checkmate. Wolf asked with a smile.

"Haha, don't worry, my combat officer, the most interesting thing is the last one. It won't explode even if it is smashed with a hammer. It was fitted with a radio-controlled fuse, and it would only explode if we felt the need to make it explode, as long as the pilot on the plane with the remote control pressed a button. Now you can know what kind of effect this little bomb can do. ”

Those pilots just thought this weapon was interesting when they first listened to Xu Jun's introduction, but when they looked back and thought about it carefully, they couldn't help but feel a chill rise in their backs. It's just terrifying, it's really a weapon that is both dangerous and vicious.

They are now beginning to understand why Xu Jun used this bomb. If you scatter such bombs all over the coast of Dunkirk, whether it is a pier or a beach, it will become a dead area, and anyone who wants to enter it will have to risk their lives, even trained sappers will not be able to keep themselves safe. Before the British figured out the structure and characteristics of the bombs, it would be difficult for them to completely remove all the bombs, even if they used cannons to cover the shots.

But if bombing can do the same thing, why would the general use this kind of bomb?

At this time, Wolf preemptively raised everyone's questions: "General, in fact, our bombers can control those places all day." Why use such bombs. ”

"Haha, two reasons." Xu Jun nodded to Wolf with satisfaction. Then he said to the pilots.

"You probably think the same thing as Colonel Wolfe. I used to think the same as everyone thought, we can achieve the goal with bombers alone, as long as we install an air-detonation fuse, even the beach will not affect the power of the bomb.

But I found a problem when I was working on this plan, what if the British were retreating in bad weather, what if our air force could not find targets on the ground, I had to find a way to hinder the enemy's retreat before the air force could effectively attack. That's when I decided I wanted to use this bomb.

Now I have two reasons. First, it is now shrouded in clouds and fog, and it is unlikely to clear until at least tomorrow afternoon. We can't do accurate bombing for the past two days, so I'm going to have to scatter these little bombs all over that coast, at least so that they can be honest from tonight to tomorrow afternoon when we continue to attack.

Second, with this kind of thing, everyone just needs to bomb blindly, as long as they make sure that this thing falls on the beach on the dock on the coast. It doesn't matter if you can see it, if you don't look at the enemy.

Not only you, but all the bomber wings of the entire Second Air Force will participate in this offensive.

Your mission is to protect the bombers in addition to dropping bombs there, and you may be attacked by the RAF today, so I have a second toy for you. ”

Xu Jun then asked Hans to pull the tarpaulin from the second truck.
