Chapter 107 White Knight
Time goes back 1 hour.
Above the thick clouds in the English Channel, a full brigade of the German 26th Fighter Wing was ordered to launch a surprise attack on the airport closest to London.
About 50 Genk 111 medium bombers formed a spherical array in the air, and about 30 BF109 fighter jets formed an escort formation surrounding the bombers.
Among the densely packed fleet, there is one aircraft that is very conspicuous, with a Mickey Mouse smoking a cigar painted on the lower side of its cockpit.
This was the car of German ace pilot Adolf Galland, who shot down 104 Allied aircraft throughout World War II.
Because of that cute mark he was given a nickname: Deadly Mouse!
The radio silence was broken as the fleet arrived over England.
"About to arrive at the target, 10 minutes to prepare! 10 minutes to prepare!" Communication came from the beeper, Adolf Galland straightened his carefully trimmed mustache at the dashboard, and then unexpectedly With a cigar drawn out of his leather jacket and lit, smoking on an airplane in the highly disciplined Luftwaffe was almost unthinkable. (He even has an ashtray in his plane)
But this maverick guy has his proud capital - the cigar-smoking mouse has thirty-nine cigar shapes scratched next to it. It means he has had 39 complete kills.
According to the default rules of the air forces of various countries, a person who shoots down 5 enemy planes can be called an ace pilot, and a person who shoots down 20 or more enemy planes is called a super ace. So as long as he shoots down another plane, Garand can achieve "double status" Ace" a great result, so today is a good day for him.
Looking at the looming targets under the clouds, Garland silently said, "I hope some of them can fly" (destroying aircraft on the ground does not count as downing)
The fleet was dark. dive down and start attacking the target.
High-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs were thrown to the ground in turn. Because of the cover of clouds, the British army was almost unprepared for this raid, and there was no interception by aircraft in the air. (The British radar force will not be officially put into use until the end of the month.)
It can be said that except for a few anti-aircraft guns, the British had almost no resistance this time.
A large number of buildings were blown down, large craters appeared on the runway, and planes parked on the ground were destroyed by bombs before they took off.
Looking at the significant results, Garland felt a little uninterested. What he advocated was an aerial duel like a knight, not a one-sided massacre in this form.
Suddenly, something happened on the ground. A small number of British planes planned to take off forcibly on the runway. The German attack group instantly targeted these planes.
In flames, at least five Hurricane aircraft were smashed into pieces on the way to take off, but there were still four other more advanced Spitfires rushing into the sky.
"Okay, here we go, Spitfires, four! Do it quickly!" An instruction came from the communicator.
The German BF109 formation swarmed up. The side with the high advantage in the air battle almost had absolute battlefield dominance. The Germans also had a numerical advantage. The two Spitfires were turned into fireballs and fell to the ground before they could climb.
The other two Spitfires did not escape after completing their climb, but bravely charged towards an enemy ten times as powerful as themselves.
Garland nodded. This was the knight-like battle he wanted. He shouted "Leave it to me" in the channel and then faced one of them alone.
The pilot on the opposite side was also very experienced and wanted to use the cover of the clouds to get behind Garand and bite his tail, but the German ace had already seen through it and performed an air maneuver in advance and flew to the side and rear of the opponent.
This is Garland's specialty. In air combat without airborne radar, his sharp intuition can easily lock on enemy aircraft and make predictions in advance. This is his magic weapon for victory.
Chug tug tug tug! ! !
Four 7.92mm machine guns fired at the same time. A series of holes were opened in the Spitfire's fuselage. It barely struggled in the air and plunged into the air.
"Double Ace Achieved" Garland looked at the opponent's falling figure and took out his cigar again. Buzz~~~~
Another plane crashed next to him. Garland thought that his teammates had finished the work, but when he took a closer look, the crashed one turned out to be a BF109 from his own team!
Chug tug tug tug! ! ! ! The sound of machine guns rang out, and another Henk 111 bomber emitted black smoke, swinging and lowering its altitude. It was obvious that it had suffered heavy damage.
A silver-white special fighter jet appeared alone in the German field of vision at high altitude.
"Awesome! A new model?" Garland observed with focused eyes.
"No, it's still a Spitfire, with this color paint? Is it the captain's aircraft?"
You must know that it is not a good thing to be independent in air combat. Aircraft with obvious markings will Carefully taken care of by concentrated fire, this livery shows that the driver is extremely confident in his skills, just like his Mickey Mouse.
At this time, the white Spitfire fighter jet had already circled in a large circle to face nearly a hundred opponents again, and then charged forward single-handedly like a medieval knight.
The German pilots, including Garland, were in awe of this heroic act.
"At 9 o'clock, one enemy Spitfire!" The correspondent reported the position again.
“Don’t call him Fire Breathing.” Garland pondered for a moment, and said in the captain’s channel, “If he looks like this, just call him White Knight.”
At this time, in White On the flames, Her Royal Highness the Princess had already begun to vomit.
"Hold on, let's stall for a while, and reinforcements should arrive soon." He Chi comforted the girl. The image power of his right eye was fully turned on, and all he could see were German fighter planes with red markings in front of him.
V3 for anti-air machine gun shooting, V3 for fighter piloting, [Hunter of the Sky]: The accuracy of shooting against flying units is greatly improved!
The White Spitfire clashed with the German fleet again. The German pilots found that this guy's fighting style was very strange. He actually started to fire when the planes intersected. You must know that the planes flying in the opposite direction only met for a moment. How could it be possible to hit in such a small amount of time?
But the white Spitfire did exactly that, and it really hit. Two BF109s were hit when they were crossing each other, one was hit in the wing, and the pilot was forced to parachute, while the other The plane was even worse. The cockpit was penetrated and the pilot died instantly. The fighter jet plunged and accidentally hit a bomber next to it. The two planes disintegrated at high altitude at the same time.
So awesome! ?
Garland's hands felt itchy, and he pulled the joystick to try to get acquainted with the other party, but a voice came from the communicator: "The mission has been completed, everyone has returned! Repeat! The mission has been completed, everyone has returned!"
In the distant sky, British military planes taking off from other airports have appeared on the horizon. Garland took a deep look at the pure white plane. The aircraft body, and then shouted in the communicator
"Return!"
On that day, the German 26th Fighter Wing successfully completed the bombing mission, destroying a British airfield and damaging at least 100 aircraft of all kinds. 30 aircraft, including its own losses of 3 BF109 fighters and two Genk 111 bombers, with minor losses.
But this number just happened to make another ace pilot of the Allies. Because his specific name was not known, the German army uniformly called him by the code name:
White Knight!
I have tightened my grip a little more, otherwise I will be scolded again for breaking the story.
