Chapter 446 Fishing

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

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

Of course, Reichenau also has his own plans. Now, even if there is no military action in the Ardennes region, just relying on frontal military action, we can defeat the French!

Their first task is to cross the Maas River!

The attack of a powerful army, especially the attack of the armored forces, requires absolute security above the head, and now, in order to seize air supremacy, the Luftwaffe has dispatched thousands of fighter jets on the long offensive line!

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

The Luftwaffe can completely accomplish this task!

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

As a Luftwaffe pilot, he entered the war relatively late. He did not catch up with the Spanish Civil War. However, in the Polish battlefield, he won the first battle, shot five Polish planes, and has become an ace pilot.

Now, the landline he is driving has also been replaced. It is the latest model FW190. The engine in front of the nose has a power of 1800 horsepower!

The bubble cockpit gave him a good view, and Heinz kept scanning the bottom. If the French fighter jets were 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 to 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 200 kilometers into the Belgian inland. The task of him and his squadron is to intercept the French reinforcement fighters as soon as possible.

He didn't have to wait long, and soon, he found a large group of aircraft flying from the west.

French, coming so soon?

Looking at the flying fighters, Heinz greeted his companions on the radio. At the same time, he did not dive down to attack immediately, but continued to fly and circled.

Circling in 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 major war was inevitable, so they were prepared.

However, the German attack was far beyond their surprise. The Germans were attacking on the entire line of defense. 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 Albert, in the history of later generations, has 23 confirmed shot downs, and he can be regarded as the pilot ace of the French Air Force.

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

Following his own fighter squadron and flying over Belgium, Marcel was a little nervous. He knew that compared with the Germans, the plane in his hand was backward.

MS.406 fighter, which is the fighter with the largest number of French Air Force equipment, reaching thousands.

When the German BF109 appeared, the French were surprised to find that their aircraft was lagging behind. Advanced technologies such as monoplane, retractable landing gear, and all-metal structure made the German Air Force fighter almost arrogant.

Therefore, as a traditional aviation power, France is naturally unwilling to be reconciled to others. In 1934, the French Air Force Aviation Technical Service Department proposed the development of a modern single-wing single-seat fighter, codenamed "C1".

And this 406 fighter is the crystallization of the C1 project. It uses an 860-horsepower "Spain-Swiss" 12Y31 engine and has a maximum level flight speed of 486 km/h.

In France, this kind of aircraft is quite advanced, but compared with the Germans, it is still very backward. When encountering BF109, you can give it a shot, but when encountering FW190, it is almost a dead end.

The disadvantage of the equipment, it is necessary to rely on the personnel to make up for it!

Although Marcel flew for a short time, he had already shown his flying talent, and soon, he could feel the feeling of being one with the plane.

This time, it's finally time to go to the battlefield!

Don't think wildly, just as Marcel recovered his thoughts, he heard the sound of an aviation machine gun shooting from outside, "Da Da Da Da."

Turning his head quickly, Marcel saw the fighter jet of a comrade-in-arms on his left, smoking black smoke, and rolling down. At the same time, there was a loud noise from the radio.

"FW190! It's German!"

They did not find the sneak attack Heinz, and Heinz once again accumulated a victory!

With the continuous development of fighter performance, the style of air combat is also changing. However, sneak attack after the first enemy is discovered is still the most efficient method of warfare. The German fighter aces, almost half of the results, all stemmed from sneak attacks.

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

After spotting the enemy plane first, speed up and turn between the enemy plane and the sun. Due to the interference of the strong sunlight, it can approach to a fairly close position without the enemy noticing it.

Then, it was shot down!

A fighter jet from Heinz attacked a squadron of fighter jets and killed a fighter jet on the flank.

Marcel didn't react, he saw his squadron leader and started chasing after him!

After Heinz succeeded, he did not continue to start the killing machine, but immediately pulled the operating lever and climbed upwards.

Below is a group of fighters, even if Heinz is experienced, it is easy to be surrounded and killed, so he immediately climbed up, which is also fishing, to see if there is a hook.

The results are there!

The squadron commander of the French fighter pulled the lever and immediately chased after him. He wanted to avenge his subordinates!

In Marcel's eyes, the squadron commander's fighter jet, at full speed, chased the German plane, and both sides were climbing rapidly.

"No!" Marcel shouted over the radio: "Our planes can't climb better than German fighter jets!"
