The air by the sea is always humid and the salty smell is still fresh in memory.

The night battle hurricane climbed to eight thousand meters, and there was still a faint smell of gunpowder and the rotten smell of dead bodies in the cabin.

The weather is getting warmer, and this stench of corpse is like the wet air on a plum rainy day, floating around people, sticking to the greasy skin and cannot escape.

For several days, both sides launched an offensive and defensive battle around Dunkirk. Within a radius of 100 miles, there were only human corpses and abandoned weapons. Fortunately, there was a smell of gunpowder in the air covering up the smell of corpses, otherwise it would be even more choking.

The soldiers on the battlefield have been accustomed to being in the stinking of corpses for a long time. The pilots have the urge to vomit as soon as they fly over the battlefield. They leave after an hour and fly back every once in a while, and the stench is even more unbearable.

Zhou Zhihan took out a cigarette, broke it into two pieces and stuffed it into his nostrils, and felt much more comfortable. This was the method that the veteran Yangguai taught him during the Battle of Shanghai.

At about ten kilometers away from the German artillery position, the hurricane was extinguished in the night battle and glided forward like a ghost at a high altitude.

There is a reason Zhou Zhihan drove a night war hurricane alone to reconnaise, because when a night war hurricane with radar is in the middle and low-altitude reconnaissance, he is often discovered by the other party at the same time, and may even be discovered by the other party in advance.

Since he was here to reconnaise the ground artillery positions, he could only fly low and go down from a high place and see nothing.

Only by meeting the strong can the potential of the strong be stimulated.

When the Luftwaffe blitzed Poland, the weak Polish air force posed no threat to the Luftwaffe. It was not until he met the British Air Force that the Germans met their opponents and fought all the way to Dunkirk. While the pilots on both sides suffered heavy losses, the surviving pilots also became more experienced. For example, military important military sites such as heavy artillery positions were very tightly defended, and the Allied reconnaissance planes could not get close to them during the day.

In the early days of Dunkirk, several airports arranged by the German army near Calais were attacked by Zhou Zhihan. The German army learned from the mistakes and strengthened its defense. Now, it is difficult for the Allies to attack again.

In fact, the Royal Air Force headquarters assigned the Allied Legion this reconnaissance mission to Zhou Zhihan.

Reconnaissance missions are all handed over to reconnaissance planes, but they are not handed over to hurricanes, and someone takes photos of the reconnaissance planes.

However, the reconnaissance plane could not get close to the German artillery positions during the day and could not be seen at night. Moreover, the reconnaissance plane was sent to the mutton tiger's mouth at night, so this mission could only be thrown to Zhou Zhihan, a "genius" with experience in night battles.

Zhou Zhihan happily accepted this, which also shows that his value is irreplaceable in the Royal Air Force.

Zhou Zhihan opened his transparent helmet.

He didn't buy a transparent helmet in the system. Looking down from such a high altitude, even if Zhou Zhihan had excellent eyesight, he was still pitch black.

The German artillery positions on the ground were clearly visible in the helmet.

In the three thousand meters of the sky by the sea, there is a BF110 Night Battle Destroyer and three night-use HS126 reconnaissance aircraft with radar.

bf       110 Night Battle Destroyers hovered over the middle of the two artillery camp positions. Three night reconnaissance aircraft patrolled five kilometers outside the artillery position in a triangular formation. Their radar bands were connected to the ends and ends. While the radar band detected the enemy situation, they could also detect their own people. As long as one of the reconnaissance aircraft had an abnormality, they would be immediately noticed by the other three.

"Tsk! Zhou Zhihan was shocked," the Germans became smart after suffering several major losses. Fortunately, they did not send anyone, otherwise they were discovered by German reconnaissance planes in advance before they reached the periphery of the artillery position."

Zhou Zhihan first slid over the German artillery position arranged by the Leshutes, which was about seven kilometers away from the coast.

Sure enough, 10 170mm K18 cannons and 8 210mm mrs. The 18 heavy howitzers are arranged in reeds more than two meters high. Not to mention at night, it is difficult to detect even if the reconnaissance planes fly over the gun group during the day. A few bundles of reeds are placed on the muzzle, and people stand more than ten meters away and look at it, it is difficult to detect.

The night battle hurricane circled around Lushutes several times in the air. The transparent helmet showed the specific location of the artillery position and the coordinates of each gun in detail. Zhou Zhihan did not fall at all, remember them all.

The night battle hurricane slid over Lecrepon. Sure enough, heavy artillery from the same battalion as Leshutes was also arranged here. Zhou Zhihan carefully remembered the position and remembered the coordinates of all the cannons.

The Night Battle Hurricane hovered over the bf         110 Night Battle Destroyer for a while, and the other party was unaware of it. Just as he was about to leave, another artillery position suddenly appeared in Zhou Zhihan's helmet.

This artillery position is in a depression between Lecrepon and Leshutes. Although there are no tall reeds as camouflage, it is covered with green grass that is deep, and the cannon muzzles are flat in the grass and covered with green grass. During the day, the reconnaissance planes cannot see it at all.

This artillery position should have just arrived at night and was soon laid out, because there were still many German artillery on the position carrying shells in the dark and placed them on the edge of the cannon. Some soldiers were adjusting the sea position facing the muzzle, 10 155mm artillery and eight 105mm lefh. The power of these two cannons is slightly less than that of the 170mm k18 cannon and 210mm mrs. The 18 positive howitzer, but the range is longer and can cover the angle between the other two cannons. This is a disaster for passing ships. These three artillery positions form triangular firepower, which can cover all the sea area. Passing ships cannot escape the fate of being bombarded.

Zhou Zhihan used this kind of camouflage during the Battle of Shanghai. At that time, they hid the No. 214 Type 96 ship battle in the grass by the lake in Kunshandong. The Japanese reconnaissance planes flew back and forth countless times, but they did not find it.

When he thought of the Battle of Songhu, some familiar young faces of the Chinese Air Force appeared before Zhou Zhihan again, making him sad. After the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese Air Force was almost wiped out.

Although the Soviet Union began to aid the Chinese Air Force in the winter of 1937, those old aircraft were not the opponents of the Type 96 ship battle. Now the Japanese army's zero war has been arranged on the Chinese battlefield, and the still old Iran 15 and 16 are even less active in front of the Zero fighter.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhihan wished he could return to China immediately and defeat Zero War.

He stretched out his hands, rubbed his face a few times, pulled his thoughts to reality, and turned around a few times in the air, remembering the coordinates of the cannons in this artillery position. He thought about it when he was about to return. He remembered yesterday afternoon, Chris Taylor said that in order to adjust the accuracy of the strikes of these cannons, Germany used two observation balloons from the First World War to adjust the bounce point, turning the entire Dunkirk port and the beach into a sea of ​​fire.

Where are these two observation balloons now? Tonight, there is an extra artillery position by the sea. Will these two observation balloons have not left yet?

Also, if these two observation balloons exist nearby, the high-power telescopes on the balloons can detect the Allied fleets coming to bomb in advance, and Messerchmitt can take off the air in advance and lay it in the high altitudes around these three artillery positions to hunt down Blenheim bombers.

Zhou Zhihan ignited the engine, the propeller started, and the night battle hurricane continued to fly westward for more than a dozen kilometres in the altitude. Sure enough, in the northwest, a German military airport was discovered. Several reconnaissance planes were parked on the airport runway, but no fighter planes were seen. They should be parked in the woods next to the airport.

During World War II, most combat airports in all countries liked to be built on the edge of the woods, and planes were parked in the woods. This was a trend at that time, and later it gradually developed hangars with camouflage.

This is normal. During World War II, pilots looked back and watched the biplane of World War I. They felt that the Mei family, who was behind World War II, had too many firefights and zero battles, and they were not on the same level.

When the jet fighter emerged, what is the Mei, Spitfire, and Zero...

The times change the height of people's thoughts.

...

The Germans have indeed become more energetic. A blocking balloon was raised between the east and north sides of the airport. The thin iron chains were so thin that the radar of the night war hurricane could not be discovered. If any Allied fighter jets wanted to attack, they would hit the iron net in the dark and were entangled in the propeller and would definitely fall.

The lower ends of these balloons are fixed on special military vehicles and can be moved at will. The height of the balloon can rise to 6,000 meters. There are dozens of iron chains thicker than the thumbs of the two balloons. When the plane hits it, it is doomed, just like a big fish being entangled by a net, and the more it struggles, the tighter it becomes.

Zhou Zhihan knew the effectiveness of this high-altitude balloon. There were more than a thousand such balloons in the UK. During the Dunkirk air battle, the UK sent a large number of fighter jets. In order to prevent the Luftwaffe from taking advantage of the situation, this type of intercepting balloon was spread in the coastal areas of the UK. Several German night battle-type HS126 reconnaissance aircraft wanted to take advantage of the situation to investigate the British mainland, but they were entangled with the propeller and wings by the balloons. The plane fell, and the pilot accidentally jumped and was cut in half by the steel cable.

After searching carefully for a few rounds, there was no balloon observed here. Zhou Zhihan left the German airport and flew south.

Sure enough, an abnormality was found four or five kilometers away. There were more than a dozen military vehicles forming a large circle. Several German soldiers were holding guns and holding cigarettes in their mouths. They were guarding around them. In a large open space among the dozen cars, there were some big tarpaulins covering the underneath them.

Zhou Zhihan judged that the observation balloons under the oil cloth should be covered with observation.

After finding one, Zhou Zhihan continued to go south. Three kilometers away, he found more than a dozen military vehicles forming a large circle, surrounded by soldiers, and a few large tarpaulin in the middle, which was exactly the same shape as the one I just discovered.

Zhou Zhihan could solve these two huge observation balloons with one dive, but the consequence was that the German army would immediately know that the British would send bombers to come after dawn, which would be more than worth the loss.

But if these two observation balloons are not killed, the high-power telescope above can detect incoming bombers dozens of kilometers away.
