Chapter 444: fishing

As the commander of the Sixth Army, Reichenau knows his own real strategy. The military operations in Belgium and the Netherlands are all false moves. The real offensive direction is in the central Ardennes.

However, Reichenau must attack Belgium and the Netherlands with the strongest force and the fastest offensive. This is to let the French and the British know that this is the main direction of Germany's attack and attracts Britain and France. The main force of the coalition forces came here to fight.

Of course, Reichenau also has its own plans. Now, even if there is no military operation in the Ardennes, it can defeat the French by only relying on frontal military operations!

Their first task is to get through the Maas River!

The offensive of a powerful army, especially the offensive of armored forces, requires absolute security above the head. Now, in order to seize air supremacy, the Luftwaffe has dispatched thousands of fighters on the long offensive line!

For the armored forces on the ground, only by ensuring absolute air superiority over their heads can they attack without fear.

The Luftwaffe can complete this task!

Heinz-Barr was wearing a flying cap and breathing the oxygen in the oxygen mask. Now, his flying altitude has exceeded five kilometers.

As a pilot of the Luftwaffe, he participated in the war relatively late. He did not catch up with the Spanish Civil War. However, on the Polish battlefield, he was victorious. He took down five Polish planes and became an ace pilot.

Now, the landline he is driving has also been replaced. It is the latest model of fw190. The engine in front of the nose has a power of 1800 horsepower!

The bubble cockpit gave him a good view. Heinz constantly scanned the bottom. If the French fighter was dispatched, it would definitely be below him. At that time, he could dive down and easily kill the opponent!

When the war just started, all the bombers of the Luftwaffe were dispatched, and almost all the Belgian planes were blown up on the runway. Therefore, if the other party wants to dispatch now, it must be the support of the French and British air forces.

Now, Heinz has penetrated more than two hundred kilometers inland in Belgium. The task of him and his squadron is to intercept French reinforcement fighters as soon as possible.

He didn't let him wait long, and soon he found a large swarm of planes flying from the west.

French, come here so soon?

Looking at the flying fighters, Heinz greeted his companions on the radio. At the same time, he didn't immediately dive down and attack, but continued to fly, making a circle.

Going around the direction of the sun and attacking from the direction of the sun is the most effective!

When the yellow plan was leaked, both France and Britain knew that a great war was inevitable, so they were also prepared.

However, the German attack greatly exceeded their accident. The Germans were attacking the entire defense line. In this case, they had to judge the key points.

It was not until Belgium was in a hurry that they dispatched fighter jets and flew over Belgium.

The pilot Marcel Albel, in the history of later generations, confirmed that there were 23 downings, and he was considered the ace of the French Air Force pilots.

But that's for the future. Now, Marcel only joined the Air Force last year and he is still a rookie.

Following his fighter squadron and flew over Belgium, Marcel felt a little nervous. He knew that compared with the Germans, his plane was lagging behind.

ms.406 fighter, this is the French air force equipped with the largest number of fighters, reaching thousands.

When the German bf109 appeared, the French were surprised to find that their aircraft was behind. Advanced technologies such as single-wing, retractable landing gear, and all-metal structure made the German Air Force fighters almost dominate the group.

Therefore, France, as a traditional aviation power, was naturally unwilling to be reconciled. In 1934, the French Air Force Aviation Technical Service Department proposed the development of a modern single-wing single-seater fighter, code-named "c1".

And this 406 fighter is the crystallization of the c1 project. It uses the 860-horsepower "Spain-Swiss" 12y31 engine and has a maximum level flight speed of 486 km/h.

In France, this kind of aircraft is already quite advanced, but compared with the Germans, it is still very backward. When you encounter the bf109, you can also give it a go. When you encounter the fw190, it is almost a dead end.

We must rely on personnel to make up for the disadvantages of equipment!

Although Marcel has been flying for a short time, he has already shown that his flying talent has come, and soon he can feel the feeling of being integrated with this aircraft.

This time, it's finally on the battlefield!

Don’t think about it, just as Marcel took back his thoughts, he heard the sound of an aviation machine gun shooting outside, "Da Da Da."

Quickly turned his head to Marcel saw the fighter plane of a comrade on his left, tumbling down in black smoke, and at the same time, a noisy sound came from the radio.

"Fw190! It's a German!"

They did not find Heinz who attacked, and Heinz once again accumulated a result!

With the continuous development of fighter performance, the style of air combat is also changing. However, sneak attack after the enemy is discovered is still the most efficient tactic. The German fighter ace, almost half of the results are from sneak attacks.

One of the most classic sneak attacks, of course, is to use the sun.

After spotting the enemy aircraft first, it first accelerates to the space between the enemy aircraft and the sun. Due to the interference of the strong sunlight, it can approach a fairly close position without the enemy noticing it.

Then, it shot down!

A fighter Heinz attacked an opponent's fighter squadron and killed a fighter on the flank. It was like a wolf entering the mouth of a tiger, which completely angered these French pilots.

Marcel did not react, and saw his own squadron captain, starting to chase the opponent!

After Heinz succeeded in one blow, he did not continue to drive the killing machine, but immediately pulled the lever and climbed up.

Below is a group of fighters, even if Heinz has rich experience, it is easy to be surrounded and killed. Therefore, he immediately climbed up. This is also fishing, and see if there is any bait.

It turned out!

The French fighter squadron commander pulled the lever and immediately caught up. He wanted to avenge his subordinates!

In Marcel's eyes, the squadron captain's fighter jet, at full power, chased the German plane, and both sides were climbing quickly.

"No!" Marcel yelled on the radio: "Our aircraft can't compete with German fighter jets in climbing performance!"
