More than ten minutes later, several military vehicles drove out of the monastery. Two kilometers away from the monastery, there was a "Spray Fire" fighter squadron, where twelve "Spray Fire" fighter jets were parked.

The "generator plan" for the Allied forces to withdraw from Dunkirk will be implemented in the near future. By then, more than 300,000 British and French forces will cross the English Channel. At that time, German fighter jets and bombers will definitely appear over the strait to attack wildly, so the task of air defense for the Dunkirk retreat fell on the shoulders of the 11th Combat Team.

The 11th Battalion is stationed in the southeast of the UK, closest to Dunkirk, the commander-in-chief of the brigade Major General Kees Pike received instructions from the British cabinet to do his best to support air protection umbrellas for the evacuation team and ships, and not to weaken the local air defense forces. Therefore, the pressure on Major General Parker Parker's shoulders is heavier than at any time in his life.

Given the absolute importance of this mission, General Hugh Dowtin decided to personally command and protect all the fighter troops in the Dunkirk retreat. At this moment, Messerchmitt Bf109E was like an insurmountable mountain, suppressing the Royal Air Force and General Hugh Dowtin couldn't breathe.

The scene of a large retreat of more than 300,000 people will be very large. If a strong protective umbrella cannot be provided in the air for the ground and sea area, the consequences will be unimaginable once more than 300,000 people become chaotic and disorderly.

Therefore, Churchill gave the Royal Air Force the order that the Royal Air Force must organize an effective defensive air corridor over Dunkirk to cover the Allied retreat, which is related to the trend of the entire war.

When Zhou Zhihan said that he could fly a Spitfire fighter to find the maneuvering weakness of Messer Schmitt Bf109E, he was tortured by Messer Schmitt to the uneasy bedroom. Admiral Dowtin immediately agreed.

Although General Hugh Dowding was also very suspicious of the results of the shooting down fifty enemy planes by the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force, he still wanted to try his luck. Perhaps this young Chinese colonel really had a way to find the fatal weakness of Messerchmitt Bf109E.

One reason why General Jean-Hugh Dowding was willing to give Zhou Zhihan a chance was that when almost everyone did not believe in his record of shooting down fifty enemy planes, the young Chinese Air Force chief instructor's face was still unpredictable, without any panic and uneasiness after lying and being exposed, but instead a hint of helplessness and arrogance appeared from the corner of his mouth.

It's like a person who grabs a straw when drowning. It's better to have hope than to have no hope.

Admiral Hugh Dowtin chose his general command in the monastery because the monastery was white walls and black tiles, and there were circular buildings on the roof similar to those on the top of the church. It was very conspicuous when viewed from the air. In the early days of the war, few enemies had the opportunity to attack the monastery actively, because every pilot knew that fighting in the air wanted to survive. The performance of fighter jets and the pilot's skills were on the one hand, and luck was also very important on the other hand, so no one was willing to attack sacred buildings such as the monastery church, causing bad luck to themselves.

Moreover, among all arms, European air force pilots have always maintained chivalrous spirit. Their main goal is to destroy each other's military bases, airports and planes, rather than pilots, civilians and church beliefs.

Not far from the monastery, I saw many cars carrying blocking balloons practicing back and forth on the road, and constantly releasing and recycling blocking balloons in the air.

These blocking balloons can rise to hundreds of meters of air.

During the war, blocking balloons can effectively defend against low-altitude plunder of enemy fighter jets. Several layers of steel plunder are connected between the balloons, which can shrink up and down. As the car carrying the balloon moves, the interception effect is sometimes more effective than fighter jets. It has extremely high secrets and can cause great damage to enemy aircraft raiding at low-altitudes. It is easy to move and can be used repeatedly. It is a good weapon to prevent low-altitude plunder of enemy aircraft.

If it weren't for someone's advice, Zhou Zhihan wouldn't believe it at all. The farm-like building in the distance was the airport.

When approaching the airport, Zhou Zhihan saw that there were very concealed anti-aircraft artillery arranged around the airport. Army had already begun to alert around the airport, which showed that the war was getting closer and closer. The British senior officials had already smelled the smell of gunpowder that the German army was about to attack the British Empire.

Entering the Spitfire Squadron, the twelve were parked in carefully camouflaged hangars, not in the open air like in many World War II movies, allowing all the enemy air forces to attack one by one and one by one.

The squadron is equipped with a "Spray Fire IA" model fighter, equipped with a 1030-horsepower "Merlin 3" engine, a 12-foot-7.75-inch height, a 29-foot-11-inch body, and a 36-foot-10-inch angel wing, making the entire body flow perfect. The tan fuselage, the black "Havelan" three-blade propeller, the RAF logo in the middle and rear of the fuselage shines in the sun. The movement angle of its flap also expands from 57 degrees to 90 degrees, and the speed reaches 470 miles. The whole shape is very comfortable and elegant, making it look like a swordsman in the air sleeping.

Zhou Zhihan had already flew over the top "Spray Fire" fighter more than two years ago. At this time, he saw "Spray Fire IA" and felt that it was the same.

The calm expression of the Chinese Air Force chief instructor made the generals and academy officers of the British Royal Air Force feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing such high-quality fighter jets, you, an air force instructor from a backward Eastern country, can you not feel excited or surprised at all?!

You should show the expression of a country bumpkin entering the city. Only those of us in the city feel happy. Your knowledgeable look is not fun at all.

Of course, no one asked this, and even if someone asked, Zhou Zhihan would not say it. The reason why he didn't feel excited and surprised was because I flew over a better Spitfire fighter than this.

"Col. Zhou!" Major General Marino got out of the car and stood next to a Spitfire fighter. "Although you have flew over many models of aircraft, I can guarantee that none of them are as good as this one, so before you fly this plane, you must go through my exam before you can get on the plane to test flight."

The generals and lieutenants who attended the meeting followed and surrounded the Spitfire fighter and wanted to see how the chief instructor from the East could fly this excellent swordsman into the sky.

Two ground staff brought two escalators on the plane.

At the invitation of Major General Parker Parker, Zhou Zhihan sat in the cockpit of Spitfire Battle.

"Col. Zhou!" Major General Parker stood on the escalator on the other side of the fighter. "This is a Spitfire IA fighter. There are 63 control handles and instruments in this cockpit. It takes about an hour for the rookie pilot to barely remember where these dashboards and control handles are located.

Since you are an Air Force chief instructor and have used to fly many models of aircraft, I will give you 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, if you can remember more than 50 instruments and joysticks, you are qualified to fly this aircraft into the sky.

If you can't remember more than 50 instruments and joysticks within 15 minutes, you won't be able to fly this plane, and at the same time, we'll take you back to the Air Force headquarters."

Major General Parker is very clear. You are an Air Force chief instructor, naturally different from a rookie pilot. Moreover, the instruments and joysticks in the cockpit of the plane are mostly similar. If you can't pass the test within 15 minutes, then I'm sorry, you're from wherever you come from.

Zhou Zhihan nodded.

"Then let's start now!" Major General Paike looked at his watch, "It's 10.05 am now, and the time is 15 minutes. Good luck. Colonel Zhou!" As he said that, he went down the escalator to the ground.

When he went down to the ground, Major General Parker Parker took out his pipe from his pocket and heard someone say, "General Parker Parker! I remember everything."

Everyone on the ground was surprised almost at the same time, and looked up at the cabin of the Spitfire fighter.

Major General Parker Parker stayed for a few seconds, raised his wrist, 10:07. He thought he had heard the wrong ears, frowned and suspiciously, and asked, "Col. Zhou, do you have any questions?"

An answer came from above: "I have remembered all the instrument panels and control handles in the cabin. Mr. Major General!"

Major General Parker “…”
