And this time the British found that for the first time, the firepower of the opposing side seemed to exceed that of the Spitfire, "the opposing side was armed with at least 4 machine guns and 2 machine guns." The density of firepower is unprecedented, and a single burst can tear a fighter to pieces! Compared to the firepower of these new aircraft, the firepower of the original BF109 fighter is completely at the level of toothpicks! A British pilot said with trepidation. The FW190 gave the British a hard lesson in its first large-scale debut. In the first large-scale battle between the two sides, the FW190 aircraft relied on strong firepower, ultra-high speed, excellent vertical maneuverability and appropriate tactics to repair the Spitfire 5 fighter that had been in service for three years.

The skill of the German pilots, combined with the ferocious firepower of the FW190 aircraft, played an important role in the group battle. The air-cooled engine improves the survivability of the aircraft in disguise, after all, no matter which liquid-cooled engine is hit, it will inevitably crash. And the air-cooled engine, even if individual cylinders are destroyed, still has hope of flying back to base. Shells like flying locusts flew through the air, and the pilots of both sides struggled to dodge the shells that came from nowhere. The Germans had the initiative from the first attack, and they could go in and out of the battlefield at any time, as if they were walking in their own backyard. They withdraw from the battle when the situation is not good, then climb, observe the battlefield and choose the right opportunity to attack. In the eyes of some German ace pilots, it is not much more difficult to fight the current British aircraft than in training! The slow speed of the Spitfire made it impossible for the British pilots to perform their technical and tactical skills.

Feeling the pressure of the plane's overload, Major John dodged the deadly attack from behind with a well-placed drum defense, and the FW190 was too fast to rush ahead of him. In a matter of seconds, the offensive and defensive dynamics of both sides changed. "I speed up to suppress the attack, and after my speed drops down, you start attacking, I don't believe he can fly at high speed all the time!" John was able to become squadron leader not only because of his personal tactical skills, but also because he was also a man who looked into the big picture, when he was in the best position to attack and his wingman was in a worse position. But after the previous engagement, he knew that even if he had the upper position, it would be difficult to defeat the opponent, and the opponent was in a dive. It's fast, and you have a chance to attack before the opponent is forced to slow down, and even if you miss, you can force the opponent to maneuver and waste energy, and then give the attack opportunity to your wingman.

"Okay Major. I'll do my best! The wingman's voice came from the headphones. There was nervousness in his words, but there was also a glimmer of hope that John's wingman had joined the Royal Air Force after the Iran War, and that this young man, who was only 23 years old, was very spiritual and a good seedling. In John's opinion, it only takes a few battles to grow up and become a long-plane pilot, then a squad leader, or even a squadron leader, or even a squadron leader! So John wanted to give the newcomer a chance to exercise, and at the same time wanted him to taste victory, although the overall situation has declined, but the British have played a bright spot.

JOHN GENTLY PRESSED THE NOSE OF THE PLANE TO DIVE AFTER THE GERMAN, AND WAS GIVEN A CHANCE TO ATTACK WHEN THE OPPONENT LEVELED OUT, AND THE SHELLS FIRED BY THE TWO 20MM CANNONS CHASED THE ROCKING PLANE. And left several bullet holes in the tail of the opposing side. The opponent's body shook a little, but it was not shot down! "The lad has seen you!" John shouted loudly in the channel. "Yes, sir!" The wingman who arrived later continued to enter the attack course, using the high speed of the dive to get in on the opponent again. The little one's first victory seemed to be within reach, and John was genuinely happy for the little brother, but then he regretted it!

A gray figure swept over his head, and he was lightning fast and overtook John almost instantly, and then rushed headlong towards John's wingman. "Pay attention to the direction of 6 o'clock behind you and give up the attack!" John instantly realized that the situation had changed, and instead of attacking him, the opponent went to rescue his teammates. "Major. This is my first record and I will never give up, even if it is the only record of my life! The stubborn wingman was not moved by the enemy planes coming from the rear, and still stubbornly approached and steady. And pulled the trigger at a distance of 400 meters!

The 4 fire dragons flew towards the target with suppressed anger, the German plane that had done too much maneuvering had no chance to dodge at all, and the huge power of the Sispanor cannon pierced the cockpit of the FW190 from the rear, the pilot and the plane were late, and almost at the same time, the German plane that killed from the rear also smashed John's wingman to pieces. Turned into a blazing fire. "Damn the Germans. Damn Spitfire! John collapsed in the driver's seat as if he had been drained of all his energy, and there was no way to fight such a fight. In this nearly 1-hour firefight, Major John's two squadrons were destroyed by 25 aircraft, while the opposing side shot down no more than 10 aircraft! Two squadrons lost 19 pilots in the first battle. On the evening of the end of the battle, Kamimine sent an order to merge the two squadrons into one squadron and continue the battle! And after the Battle of France, John was surprised to find that the first group of brothers who participated in the war with him were only 5 men after months of fighting! The tragedy of the war can be seen. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Just when the FW190 was beating the Spitfire 5 lightly and happily, the Frenchman's D520 was also very embarrassed in the face of the BF109F with a new engine. Unlike the D520, which used 950 hp in history, the power of the French aircraft in this plane has increased, but the actual performance has only increased from the initial speed of 530 kilometers per hour to 570 kilometers per hour. It is quite different from the 620 km/h speed of the BF109F. What's even more tragic is that the D520's climbing performance is mediocre. Compared with the BF109F, which is about 20 meters per minute, the D520 has a big performance gap. According to the Germans, the most advanced aircraft of the French can only be compared to the later version of our BF109E series. At the beginning of the war, we were at least 1 year or so ahead of them!

Pierre and his teammates were fighting for the first time, and although they may have been in the service of the French Republic for at least five years, they were still a genuine newcomer. The various ranks they wore on their shoulders did not allow them to perform better than their British counterparts, they lacked flexibility in engagements, they were unable to adapt to changing circumstances, and their tactical rigidity made them appear to be in the battle with the Luftwaffe, which had been "trained" by the Chinese, British, and American air forces. Ironically, however, the French Air Force, which had more aircraft in the air battle, lost fewer than the British, both in terms of downed planes and killed pilots. The French thought that their technical and tactical skills were superior, while the British were scathing - it was the performance and tragic firepower of the BF109 coffee table that saved the French!

In the end, the air battle over Chalons ended in the complete defeat of the Entente. Britain and France dispatched nearly 90 planes in total, but they were still unable to tear through the defenses of each other's escort aircraft. Instead, they were beaten by the BF109 and FW190 fighters of the 4 squadrons of the Germans. Such a tragic result made the entire Allied air force feel a great shock! The German bomber troops, which did not receive any effective resistance, flew in a neat formation in the direction of Chalon, and a formation of more than 200 JU88 and HE111 bombers threw nearly 500 tons of various bombs towards the city, half of which were high-explosive bombs, and the other half were incendiary bombs, and the surging flames turned half of the city into a sea of fire. People ran and shouted in flames and ashes, police and firefighters fought to put out the fires, and the entire city was on the brink of destruction.

Just as the British and French air forces were fighting the Germans, the US Air Force was also fighting the Germans. Among the Allied air forces that attacked France, a force of strategic bombers from Alsace and Lorraine crossed the whole of France and flew to the Loire region on the Atlantic coast and even to Brittany in the northwest of France! Originally, the absolute rear left by the Entente in these two regions was also less vigilant. If Britain and France were ready to be beaten up by three times and five by two, then the Americans were not completely prepared when they were given a brick in the face by the Germans who came from afar!

The Allies' ground command system had never contemplated the face of such a large-scale attack. A fleet of Allied aircraft of thousands of aircraft moved over France. After taking off, it was difficult for the Allied air forces to find the target they should intercept in the dense enemy group, and most of the squadron leaders and group leaders went on as soon as they saw the enemy, and they had no time to consider whether the opponent in front of them was the target they wanted to intercept. So the end result was that the German fleet on the periphery was besieged by a large number of Allied aircraft. In the middle, a force of German strategic bombers and his escort planes penetrated the Allied interception and flew deep into France.

However, after getting rid of the desperate battle at the border, the whereabouts of the Germans were still not able to hide the radar deployed by the other side, although this strategic bomber force carried some electronic warfare aircraft, but in the face of the dense radar network of the Entente countries and the new high-frequency radar, whether it was chaff or jammers, the effect was very limited. It was also one of the few military areas in which Germany was weaker than the Entente in the early stages of World War II. Grim, who had been promoted to major general, commanded the Luftwaffe strategic bomber force, which was the pride of the entire German army, and he was the only strategic air force in the Luftwaffe's air corps. And it is also named after St. Millega, the guardian angel of Germany. Angel Air Force! All bombers were made up of strategic bombers. Moreover, it is equipped with a special long-range fighter unit. At a time when other air forces are still proud of themselves to have a full FW190 fighter group II. The pilots of the Angel Air Force have begun to use more expensive and faster aircraft, a twin-engine aircraft that uses a pull-forward push-back type, and if you look at it from the perspective of the traverser, this should be a DO335 aircraft with a lightweight design!

Although the layout of the two engines in the bottom bracket is such a way that the weight of the body is too heavy. But rely on the liquid-cooled engine's small windward area and the right trade-offs. (For example, the annoying built-in 500KG bomb pylons have been removed, the internal oil has been appropriately reduced, and the wing area has become smaller.) In short, after a series of improvements, the empty weight of this aircraft was reduced to more than 6 tons. Although it is still a bit heavier than the P38. But the flight speed is really not covered! And the survivability is also relatively strong. THE LIGHTWEIGHT DO335 DOESN'T HAVE A GREAT CLIMB SPEED, BUT IT EVEN SURPASSES THE FW190 AIRCRAFT, PLUS THE POWERFUL 30MM CANNON IN THE NOSE AND TWO MG151-20 CANNONS AND TWO ERLIKON 20MM CANNONS IN THE WINGS. Not to mention such firepower against fighters, it can be used in a wave when it encounters strategic bombers. The MK103 cannon is powerful and powerful, but it is claimed to be able to fight tanks! Although the performance of this aircraft is not as good as the last generation aircraft such as the P51, F4U4 and DH108 Hornet in the late stage of World War II, when it first came out, it was no problem to suppress the immature P47 of the Americans, the P38 without Morin engines, and the F6F Hellcat of the Navy. Speed is suppression. As for climbing? Whether it is the P47, which is known as a flying bottle, or the F6F of the fat cat, the climb at medium and low altitudes is more tragic. As for the climb of the high-standard oil Pirate 4, it is really powerful, but not now! As a result, this DO335 aircraft, whose performance was not very outstanding in the eyes of later generations, performed well in the early days of the war when fighting in the air while doing its old job as an interceptor!

The mighty Angel Air Force cut through the battlefield, and they were in the middle of several German fleets, so they didn't take too many hits. A huge box formation of more than 300 HE177 strategic bombers flew in the direction of Saint-Nazaire. The Angel Air Force is a huge fleet of more than a thousand aircraft. More than 300 HE177 bombers were only part of him, while another group of 200 HE177 strategic bombers headed for Brittany. The reason why Grim attacked Saint-Nazaire with the main force was that it was the most important naval base on the west coast of France, where there was a well-developed logistics system to maintain all types of warships of the Entente, and the advance force of the United States Navy and Air Force was also stationed here. The facilities and strong throughput of this port are an important node for the United States to support France, so it must be destroyed!

Grim never forgot the glory and pain of the Italian Civil War. He knew that his air fleet, which was lined up in a neat formation and made up of the world's largest combat aircraft, was not invincible. Huaxia and the United States and Britain have used too many means to break this shield, especially in the Iran war, in the face of the desperate attack of the Luftwaffe escort group, Huaxia's terrifying Foxbat fighters still caused huge losses to the German bomber force, so this time he did not dare to make a big difference, and even compromised with the fighter unit in the course of action and battle plan.
