Imperial Overlord

The frontline field airfield of the 3rd Brigade of the German JG26 Fighter Wing near the French coastline.

The sky is full of planes returning to bomb London, some are JU-88 bombers and HE-111 bombers that are going to fly to further airports, and some are ME-109E fighter jets waiting to land.

Everyone was in a hurry to land, because there was not much fuel left in everyone's plane.

When many planes land, the bottom of the fuel tank can already be seen. The fuel needle pointed to a dangerous red zone on the instrument panel, making all pilots nervous.

On the beach, you can see Army soldiers who are training to swim and land on the beach, as well as fishing boats responsible for salvaging pilots who have fallen into the water.

Although it was to lure the British pilots into a decisive battle, the German pilots in this decisive battle did not win as easily and comfortably as they imagined.

The landing gear design of the ME-109E fighter is very rubbish. The two landing gears open from the fuselage to the wings are very dangerous when landing.

Because the distance between the landing gears is too small, landing the ME-109E fighter jet is a technical task.

This is one of the reasons why the ME-109E fighter is not so friendly to novices. It is too flexible. Even when it is landing, it is a little too flexible and jumps off.

One after another, fighter jets painted yellow on their noses landed on the broad airport lawn.

Before the engines of these planes could be shut down, the ground crew came to help and drag the tired pilots out of the cramped cockpit to restore their strength as soon as possible.

Another ME-109E fighter stumbled to the ground, and several officers and experienced ground staff soon surrounded the stopped plane.

After setting up the ladder, he leaned on the Mickey Mouse holding a cigar on the fuselage. The ground crew helped the pilot inside to lift the square glass hatch above his head.

"Sir! Congratulations on your achievement of shooting down 35 enemy planes!" The two ground crew officers stood at attention to the officer who climbed out of the plane, and congratulated the other side with a smile.

Garland, who was wearing a round leather cap, took off all kinds of equipment on his body and gave the round leather cap to a pilot apprentice beside him.

These apprentices are part of Goering's "Air Force 50,000 Reserve Pilot Program" and a huge plan to build the Air Force promoted by Li Le.

Because of this plan, Garland was very fond of the Fuhrer and believed that the Fuhrer was definitely a great leader with great vision.

He handed the inflatable life jacket and parachute on his body to the ground staff for sorting, then took his big-brimmed military cap from his subordinates and buckled it on his head diagonally.

"How many planes did our JG26 Wing lose?" Garland asked the officers behind him as he walked towards the pilot's lounge.

Hearing this question, the faces of several people became less beaming. One officer lowered his head and said nothing, while the other had to say, "We lost 6 fighter jets..."

Garland was stunned for a moment, then continued to walk forward. He knows that no victory is obtained without paying a price, but now it seems that the price to be paid for conquering Britain is not an ordinary big...

A group of ground staff frantically ran to the airport runway, passing Garland and others, but did not stop to salute.

The noisy sound caught Garland's attention. He turned around and saw another fighter jet landed on the runway.

Because the distance was not far, he saw that the glass of the cockpit of the landing fighter had been broken.

Obviously this was an injured fighter. Garland turned around, followed the footsteps of the ground crew, and ran towards the returning fighter whose propeller was still turning.

Soon, he ran to the side of the fighter. At this time, he could clearly see the dense machine gun bullet holes on the fighter's fuselage.

It is not the first time he has seen this scene. Many returning fighter jets may find bullet holes left by the enemy on the fuselage.

Some were left by enemy fighter jets, and some were traces left by shrapnel from enemy anti-aircraft guns.

In short, these traces are not uncommon. What shocked Garland was the bright red blood on the glass shattered by the bullet in the cockpit.

"Medic! Medic!" The ground crew who climbed into the plane glanced inside through the broken glass, turned and called out loudly under the plane.

With the help of everyone, the medical soldier carrying the medical kit climbed onto the wing of the plane.

He glanced into the cabin, then reached in and touched the pilot inside, and shook his head below.

"The man is dead! The bullet hit him in the chest and stomach, and he just died." The medic regretted his conclusion.

The ground crew lifted the cracked and **** hatch, then helped the dead pilot unbuckle his seat belt and dragged his body out of the plane.

"Brave guy! He stopped his plane with his last breath." A ground service veteran with a French cigarette sighed beside Garland.

Many people stretched out their hands and held the corpse firmly on the grass beside the plane.

Garland looked at the tail of the plane. There were three black vertical short lines above the yellow rudder.

This means that the pilot of the plane shot down three enemy planes before his death, and he is considered a good old pilot.

Only today, he closed his eyes forever on the field airfield in France, and could no longer fly in the boundless sky.

"May your soul rest in peace!" Garland looked at the pilot lying on the ground, whose body had gradually cooled down, looked at the face that was full of blood, but was still familiar, and prayed.

It's a sad thing to see someone you know leave. In the morning the pilot and Garland had breakfast in a cafeteria.

But after a mission, the other party just lay quietly on the grass and closed his eyes forever.

"We should avenge him! In the afternoon, I will still lead the team myself! Shoot down those **** British!" Garland looked at the corpse and said to the officer beside him after praying.

It was a winless battle, and for every British fighter shot down, Germany had to pay roughly the same price.

Although the United Kingdom lost almost 60 aircraft, Germany also paid a heavy price of 53 aircraft.

Including those who fell in the strait, including those who were injured and unable to continue fighting, including bombers with more numbers... Killing one thousand enemies and self-destructing eight hundred did not make people feel the joy of victory.

On the German side, when Garland looked at the corpse of his pilot and was determined to continue the fight, Dowding was also determined to fight to the death in the British fighter command on the other side of the strait.

The outcome of the London air battle was to the satisfaction of His Majesty the King and Churchill, who, within minutes of the departure of the German fighters, characterized the **** battle as "a great victory".

There was jubilation on the radio that they had shot down more German planes and that the German invaders would soon abandon their aggression against Britain because the losses were too heavy.

But the still burning and exploding, black smoke billowing British suburbs is clearly a powerful irony for this statement.

"Only 33 Hurricane fighter jets can be delivered on time this month, which is a disaster for us." Upon hearing the news of another Hurricane fighter production cut, Dawding almost fainted.

The number of fighters he lost in a day was roughly what he had managed to accumulate over the past week.

Now, his losses are even greater, and he has no chance to accumulate any more wealth, but the production of fighter jets has dropped to an unprecedented level, how can he not let him despair?

Because he is not from the navy, he still doesn't know what happened to the J-18 transport fleet.

This matter is still top-secret at the top. For fear of being controlled by German spies, Churchill has not dared to disclose the real impact of the sneak attack on the J-18 fleet.

The fleet was attacked, causing a major blow to the British fighter jet production line. UU reading www.uukanshu. com this month will cut at least 100 Spitfire fighter jets, and the Hurricane fighter jet is almost facing a shutdown.

This strangulation war against British industrial production has actually had its due effect, making the British war machine difficult, and there is no way to maintain the current scale of the war.

The Army has asked the UK to produce 300 anti-tank guns for deployment on increasingly dangerous coastlines.

At the same time, they also demanded the production of more tanks to offset the possible armor advantage of the German landing forces.

Unlike in history, the Luftwaffe temporarily achieved its tactical purpose, which also put Britain under greater pressure—the threat of the Germans landing!

This threat has forced Britain to spread out its precious production capacity and strengthen the army forces it guards on its coastline.

You must know that the main force in the UK now is the 330,000 startled birds who retreated from Dunkirk.

These soldiers with low morale and disillusionment brought back almost nothing but rifles.

To make them capable of fighting again, they must have heavy weapons and equipment such as artillery and tanks and armored vehicles, right? Otherwise, what is the difference between them and the police?

But the production of these equipment also requires factories! These factories are now under targeted bombing by the Luftwaffe, and the bombing is very precise.

British tank production has been cut in half for a week, and steelmaking has suffered considerably. The production speed of artillery can not keep up with the requirements, and even because the accessories cannot be delivered on time, the semi-finished products can only be stacked in the warehouse and wait.

These are not things that Dawding cares about. What he cares most about is the replenishment of fighter jets, but the result is news that makes him desperate - fighter jet production has also been affected!
