On October 6, 1940, the second phase of the "Sea Lion Plan" began to be implemented, and the British Iranian Front also launched a counteroffensive at the same time, trying to break the German control of Romania, and Hitler had to continue to send more than 100,000 troops to reinforce at home, these were the most elite German troops, and at the same time there were more than 300,000 troops from other countries in Europe and Ming participating in the war.

Germany was already fighting on two fronts at this time, and Germany was already on the verge of danger because of Hitler's stubbornness and arrogance. Once Germany loses its air force, the German armored forces will suffer heavy losses under the bombardment of the air forces of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, and it will be difficult for them to play a role.

Therefore, once Germany caused heavy losses to the air force, reaching the point where it could not support and cooperate with the armored forces to launch a "blitzkrieg", that is, the end of Germany, since the air force was so important, Hitler was actually using troops in anger and looking for his own death, who could save the great Führer? It's you? Or me? - Only God can save him.

……

The battle plan issued by Hitler to the commander of the Nazi Luftwaffe, Catherine.

"Project Sea Lion?" Catherine muttered to herself.

"Yes, Commander Catherine, I order you to blow up the hateful Britain as soon as possible!"

"Führer Takami. I will do my best! ”

It is not known whether it was deliberately arranged, but on October 10, three days after Catherine received her assignment, he was promoted to marshal. In this way, Catherine was even more determined to carry out Hitler's orders. At that time, German combat aircraft were far superior to the British, both in quantity and quality. And. Since the beginning of the war, the Luftwaffe's successive bombardments have been almost invincible, and although Catherine was heartbroken by the losses in the early stage, Catherine recognized the crisis. And Catherine also finalized the "Eagle Day", which was originally celebrated on October 10 and later changed to October 13 due to weather conditions.

In order to carry out air offensive operations, the Luftwaffe concentrated five air army groups with 5,669 combat aircraft. At this time, Britain had only 2,500 anti-aircraft fighters, 2,000 anti-aircraft guns, and 500 bombers. At a disadvantage in terms of troops. The Battle of Britain was over the choppy English Channel. It began in the ancient land of the British Empire.

German reconnaissance aircraft spotted a British convoy quietly heading for Dover. "Strike now! Blow up and sink the British fleet! "With the order of the command, more than 100 German planes were divided into 3 echelons and flew directly to the assembly area in a murderous manner, ready to show their hands in front of their superiors.

But. With the help of advanced ground-based radar. The British soon spotted the German formation group. It also sent 36 "Whirlwind" fighters to quietly approach the enemy aircraft group under the cover of clouds. Perhaps the Germans were too confident that they simply did not notice the arrival of the British planes. At that time, German aircraft were deployed in 3 tiers. At the bottom is the DO-110 bomber group, in the middle is the ME-110 fighter group, which is on close support mission, and at the top is the ME-101 fighter group.

Faced with a situation where the enemy was outnumbered, Hill, the commander of the British army, knew that he could not fight hard. He ordered his comrades to remain hidden in the clouds, first to give way to the German cover planes, and then to try to grab the tail of the bomber group and use it to open the knife. Things turned out to be exactly what Hill had predicted. When the German formation group roared past, the numerous bomber group was like a big tail dragging behind. "Attack!" 33 Whirlwind fighters suddenly swooped down on the German bomber group. Three other Whirlwind fighters jumped slightly, pointing their guns directly at the German escort group. The German fighters, who were at ease, seemed to be admiring the beautiful scenery along the way, and did not even notice the British planes in ambush in the clouds, so they had to rush to the battle in a panic.

Compared to bombers, the Whirlwind fighter is more agile and maneuverable. It didn't take long for Hill's fighter plane to bite a German bomber tightly. After some pestering, Hill took aim and jerked the trigger. The German plane was immediately shot, emitting black smoke and falling headlong. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two German bombers hurriedly turned around and fled, but unexpectedly collided together, and immediately turned into wreckage and fragments, and fell into the sea one after another. Germany lost 58 aircraft, while Britain lost 28.

October 13, 1940

The "Day of the Eagle" arrived, and Catherine gave the order to attack on all fronts. More than 2,100 German bombers, under the cover of more than 2,000 fighters, launched an unprecedented fierce attack on 11 airfields in Britain. Although the British had been prepared for this, they still lost 446 planes and 231 pilots killed and wounded in the following days of fighting, and the Germans also lost more than 400 planes. And five airports in the south of the UK were also severely damaged. To make matters worse, six of the 10 most critical radar stations deployed by the British army were bombed. The entire communication system is on the verge of being destroyed.

October 15, 1940

Catherine made a wrong decision due to the influence of the first-class fighters Bf-101 and "BF109" by the combat radius: the use of second-rate fighters Bf-110 twin-engine two-seater fighters for escort, when the German 100 bombers completed the mission and returned, they were intercepted by the British Royal Air Force "Spitfire" fighters, on this day, the German army mobilized more than 2,000 combat aircraft, and the British Royal Air Force also dispatched 22 air squadrons to intercept, some squadrons dispatched 2~3 times a day, In the end, the British won a great victory, losing 34 fighters themselves, and the Germans lost 106 fighters, mostly heavy bombers. From this point on, the Germans would never have dared to bomb during the day without first-class fighters such as the Bf-101 and "BF109".

October 23, 1940

In the evening, during a small-scale bombing operation, a German bomber lost course due to weather conditions and mistakenly flew over London and dropped a bomb. The dramatic turn took place here, when the German bombing targets shifted from airfields and factories to bombing British cities.

October 25, 1940

In retaliation for the bombing of London, the British Royal Air Force sent 101 bombers to attack Berlin, the capital of Germany, while carrying out small-scale bombing of other large German cities.

On the evening of November 10, 1940

The RAF raid on Berlin infuriated Hitler, and the Luftwaffe, which had completely gained the upper hand, changed its bombing targets and assembled more than 1,200 aircraft to carry out a massive retaliatory bombing of London. And it was this move that gave the British a respite. Taking advantage of this short opportunity, the British army allocated a large amount of manpower and material resources to repair the bombed-out airstrip and repair the damaged aircraft.

November 15, 1940

At noon, 2,200 German bombers, under the cover of 1,600 fighters, massively crossed the English Channel, preparing to deliver a fatal final blow to Britain. In the face of the incoming German fighter group, more than 2,300 British fighters took off in six waves to intercept them. Under the sudden attack of the British army, the unprepared German aircraft group was soon in disarray. A decisive battle begins. Unfortunately, in this battle alone, the Germans lost 1,103 fighters, while the British lost only 826, and seeing that there was no hope of victory, the Germans were forced to retreat.
