Chapter 75 Air Combat (seeking follow-up reading)
Navigation V2; British Signal Language V2; Air Defense Weapon Control V3, the information flashed through He Chi's eyes.
"I tell you the position, and you execute it. If there is a deviation, everyone will die." He Chi put down the gun and engineer and said, then climbed up to the machine gunner's position on the second floor of the ship and shouted through the communication tube, "Port side 15 degrees, heading northwest, moving forward at a medium speed! "
The engineer had just been blown away by the bomb, but at this time he was frightened by the guy in He Chi's hands, and subconsciously obeyed the order.
“Port side 15 degrees, direction northwest, moving forward at medium speed!”
In the chaotic fleet, the Little Nomad started up, its chimney emitting black smoke, and rumbled towards the Dandelion.
On the destroyer Hereward in the distance, Captain John Hughes rubbed his eyes and made sure again that he was not dazzled. "God, is this guy crazy?"
"Sir, It looks like he wants to cover the Dandelion," the first mate said in a low voice next to him.
"A very courageous act, what a pity..." In his opinion, although the little homeless man's behavior was brave, it was almost like committing suicide.
A Stuka was aiming at the Dandelion and swooping over. The people on the ship were in chaos, some were running around, some squatted down with their heads in their hands and started praying, and some with poor psychological quality simply jumped in. nautical miles.
Camille, who used her body to protect the wounded body, closed her eyes.
Thud, tug, tug, tug, tug! ! ! ! !
Intensive machine gunfire sounded, and a sound like fried beans erupted in the sky. The Little Nomad blocked the front of the Dandelion, and the anti-aircraft machine gun on one side sprayed fire into the air.
The 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets struck the body of the low-flying Stuka, directly tearing a hole in the opponent's wing.
The Stuka, painted with an iron cross, wiped the hull of the Little Vagabond and plunged into the sea.
"Haha! Good job!"
"What a fucking job!"
"I'm going to give this guy a drink when I get back!"
A sailor on a nearby ship There were cheers, and everyone was celebrating this hard-won victory. You must know that this is the first time a German aircraft has been shot down since the two sides exchanged fire today.
But at this time, everyone thought this was a record achieved accidentally by a lucky guy.
The fleet of aircraft flew in again, and this time the target was changed to a small vagrant. The German aircraft wanted to retaliate against this small boat that did not know the height of the sky.
Thud, tug, tug, tug! ! !
The Vickers heavy machine gun spoke again, this time knocking down the tail of a BF-109. The opponent emitted thick black smoke and headed towards the shore. After a while, there was a sound from the other side of the mountain. Explosions.
So accurate? !
Other aircraft hurriedly raised their altitude and gave up the bomb drop. Two of their companions were killed one after another, causing chaos in the fleet formation.
At this time, there was another buzzing sound from the sky. Four new British Spitfire fighter jets and six Hurricane fighter jets formed a formation and pounced on the German aircraft.
The Stuka, who was not good at fighting, turned and ran away when he saw the Allied aircraft. The remaining five escorting BF-109s also quickly broke away after one of them was shot down.
The sea, which had been filled with gunfire just now, suddenly became quiet again.
The Allies lost two frigates in this battle, the destroyer Foxhound was slightly damaged by a bomb at the stern, while the Germans lost three aircraft and several minelayers. Both sides suffered damage.
The demining boat operation was completed, the route was restored, and the scarred Little Nomad resumed operations.
Woo~~~~~
Woo~~~~~
Woo~~~~~
Including the flagship Hereward, all military and civilian ships They all blew their whistles, which was the highest respect for the brave little vagrant.
Someone on the side of the boat took off his hat and saluted. He Chi, who was leaning against the machine gun, also raised his hand in response, while his boss, Banks, was holding a hand-cranked camera and was shaking with excitement while talking
"I'm going to be prosperous! I'm going to be prosperous! With this belt, I will definitely be prosperous!"
Herriward, command room "What an amazing young man, please arrange it. After we dock, I will be prosperous!" Meet him." The person who spoke was Vice Admiral Bertram Ramsay, the commander-in-chief of this operation.
"Sir, according to previous arrangements, there will be a speech to the public after disembarking this time. Mr. Prime Minister requires you to attend." The adjutant beside him reminded politely.
"Well, in this case..." Lieutenant General Rembert rubbed his chin, "Then let him go with me to see the Prime Minister."
"This...Okay, sir, I will arrange it." The adjutant stopped talking at the right time. His duty was to give advice at the appropriate time, not to make decisions for his commander.
As soon as the Little Nomad docked, Captain Jason jumped out, while Camille on the Dandelion on the other side also picked up her skirt and trotted up to meet her.
The couple, who were almost separated from each other, kissed each other on the pier, and tens of thousands of people served as their backdrop.
In order to boost morale for this return voyage, the British government mobilized a large number of citizens to welcome these frightened soldiers.
On a makeshift stage, a fat man of about 190 pounds gave an impassioned speech, "We will not give up any soldier. All the king's soldiers will go home safely. The brave and fearless Royal Navy is Able to do it!”
It was British Prime Minister Churchill.
He Chi curled his lips in the audience. The big fat man did not lie. He did bring back all the "king's soldiers" - in history, about 45,000 French people were eventually killed. He was thrown on the beach and captured by the Germans as a rearguard unit.
The Allies also talk about closeness and distance.
After the speech, He Chi followed Lieutenant General Ramsey to meet the legendary "Iron-Blooded Prime Minister"
"Young man, I have heard about your deeds. This rescue is over. You will get a medal later." Churchill patted He Chi on the shoulder and said in a commendable tone.
He Chi was neither sad nor happy. He knew that the other party was just talking and that he was not the focus of the meeting.
Sure enough, the Prime Minister's focus then shifted to the generator plan itself.
"How is the efficiency? How many soldiers have returned." Churchill asked, with a hint of nervousness in his tone.
"Nine thousand people have been evacuated so far. If the frontline troops can hold on for a week, we will be able to transfer about 50,000 people back." Vice Admiral Ramsay answered truthfully.
"There are only 50,000 people..." The Prime Minister fell into thought.
"Player attention! If the final transferred allies are less than 200,000, the player's results for this round will be invalid!" At this time, the system warning also sounded in He Chi's ears.
"Hey! Don't add conditions casually during the mission!" He Chi cursed in his heart, but it felt a bit strange. Historically, the generator plan was only expected to bring back 30,000 to 50,000 at the beginning. people, but in the end 330,000 people came back. What happened in the process? What are variables?
At this time, the two people were still talking.
"How is the collection of civilian ships going?"
"About 200 civilian ships responded to the call and acted together..."
"It's not enough. We need to strengthen publicity and try to bring as many as possible..."
200 civilian ships? This number is only a quarter of what it was in history. Why is it so small? He Chi's mind was spinning rapidly.
Publicity… publicity…, that’s right! An idea suddenly flashed out!
"Mr. Prime Minister! I have some ideas about publicity to the public." He Chi interrupted the conversation between the two people abruptly.
“Tell me about it, young man.” The fat Churchill waved the cigar in his hand and motioned for He Chi to continue.
"My boss Banks participated in the operation as a volunteer, and he has some valuable tapes..."
