In early July 1940, the prelude to the Battle of Great Britain was about to begin.

At this time, Hitler had gradually lost patience with Britain.

In Hitler's eyes, Churchill was a farmer who liked to drink brandy in broad daylight, and those who assisted him in rule over Britain were stubborn fools. In the 10 months since the war broke out in September last year, the armed forces of the German Empire had incorporated the entire Nordic from the Bouge River in Poland to the coast of the English Channel in France under German rule. The British on the other side of the strait turned a blind eye to this reality. Their stubbornness puzzled Hitler, especially the bifurcated plan implemented by Churchill in early July, which made Hitler even more angry. He gave the UK an ultimatum through the Kingdom of Sweden, which was the deadline on July 9.

Just when Hitler was still illusioned that the British would recover their sanity and proposed peace talks with him, the British were racing against time to use all their time to speed up the recovery of the heavily damaged armed forces.

After nearly a month of hard work, the British arsenal has stepped up the fighter jets day and night, and the Royal Fighter Forces quickly obtained fresh blood. Some young pilots have also taken the front line after high-intensity training.

During this period, Zhou Zhihan led the instructors to train the pilots day and night to adapt to the use of the four-finger formation.

After the Battle of Dunkirk, the pilots knew the importance of the four-finger formation, but it was difficult to make the old birds change the old tactics that had been inherited all the time. It was like a person who had eaten with chopsticks on his right hand since he was a child, and he would involuntarily use his left hand to serve the bowl on the dining table.

The old birds need some time to adapt to the four-finger formation, and the rookies can learn how to use the four-finger formation, which makes the old birds "harm" their self-esteem.

During this period, Zhou Zhihan and sailors Maran, Al Deer, Bob Stanford and others began to study the distance between the machine gun junction of Spitfire fighter jets.

During the Dunkirk War, the advance shooting volume and the best shooting distance of the Spitfire fighter have always troubled the pilots.

Previously, the British Air Force military believed that the machine gun junction should be 400 yards on the plane's flight axis, but practical experience made Zhou Zhihan and others convinced that the distance between the machine gun junction should be shortened to 250 yards, which would make the pilot dare to get closer to the enemy and increase the hit rate.

At this point, the final improvement of the machine gun junction was accepted by all fire-breathing pilots.

In order to allow young pilots to grow rapidly, Zhou Zhihan formulated a plan to lead new things with the old. Every time all old pilots patrolled the English Channel, they would form a two-plane formation or a three-plane formation. The old bird was the leader and the rookie served as the wingman.

Nowadays, Royal British fighter jets and German aircraft can see each other across the straits. Sometimes the two sides fly only a few kilometers apart. This pressure that cannot be experienced during training in the rear can allow rookie pilots to grow up quickly.

Since the Great Retreat of Dunkirk, small-scale frictions between the British and German fighter jets have often occurred. This is Gorene who deliberately puts pressure on the UK and tests the British's determination to fight.

Every time the fighter jets of both sides confront or have a small friction, Zhou Zhihan boldly sent a large number of rookie pilots to confront Germany's ace pilots, so that the rookies could feel the pressure on the battlefield in advance. However, those German ace pilots did not know that those who confronted them were rookies who had just flew into the blue sky for less than a month.

The Royal British Fighter Force was initially worried about Zhou Zhihan's arrangement, but after a few times they found that the rookies who had confronted the German ace pilots above the English Channel were growing at a much faster rate than the rookies who had not experienced quasi-actual pressure.

So later, the Royal Air Force listened to Zhou Zhihan's suggestion. Every time he sent a fighter escort fleet, two old birds led 4 to 6 rookies. This move made the growth rate of rookies pilots even more amazing!

The advantage of this is that the rookies get the opportunity to experience, while the old birds train the rookies while raising their strength in the rear, quickly improving the combat effectiveness of the fighter troops.

Churchill mentioned in a parliament that the joining of Colonel Zhou Zhihan from China has increased the strength of the Royal Air Force by at least two levels. During the Dunkirk War, he saved the Royal Air Force and the fire and fire many times. He has now become a hero in the minds of the British.

He will fight side by side with us on behalf of the just Chinese people.

July 10

Affected by low pressure from the northern Atlantic Ocean, heavy rain fell on most parts of England, with only the area of ​​Dover Port next to the English Channel, and light rain was covered with dark clouds and continuous rain.

Just after noon, the clouds and mist above the strait opened a corner, occasionally revealing a clear sky. The sunlight tear opens the haze and casts on the sea, rippling out the wonder of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun.

On the last day, Hitler finally did not wait for the peace talks Churchill sent him.

Goering's patent arrived at a secret base west of Dunkirk on July 9, and the two most famous air wings of the Luftwaffe, JG2 and JG26 Condor Legion, gathered on the French seaside after more than a month of rest and ready to go.

A German reconnaissance plane flying over the strait suddenly discovered a large British coastal frigate and immediately reported to the headquarters. Regardless of the low sky and clouds, the German Air Force immediately mobilized 20 He111 bombers, 10 Destroyer BF                                                                                                                                                                                                                           �

The British fleet discovered that the German plane immediately dispersed and advanced at full speed. The anti-aircraft guns on the escort fleet shot into the air with dense firepower, and suddenly blew black smoke and clouds near the German plane formation.

Six hurricane fighters from the 32nd Squadron of the British Air Force, who were on the cover mission, immediately joined the battle, and the pilots rushed to the Luftwaffe bombers.

Immediately, 10 Messerschmitts appeared from high altitude and launched a dive attack on the hurricane fighter.

After Dunkirk's training, the Luftwaffe became more mature. Now their air king Messerchmitt has been replaced. Many fighter squadrons now use Messerchmitt bf      109e4 model, and some more advanced models have also appeared on the battlefield.

The Hurricane fighter jets had already matured and rolled backwards, got rid of Messerchmidt's dive, attacked the opponent's abdomen, forced them to fight on the plane, and resolutely implemented the air combat tactics formulated by Zhou Zhihan to attack the enemy's shortcomings with his own strengths.

Seeing that the only six hurricanes in the British Air Force were entangled by Messer Schmidt, the 110 battle maintained suppression of the fleet's artillery fire, the he111 bomber dropped rounds of bombs on the British fleet, and the merchant ship was immediately blown up by water columns up to dozens of meters high.

The British people on the shore saw all this clearly and cheered for the hurricane fighter on the shore.

The reporter with a keen sense of smell had long smelled the smell of gunpowder from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. They were stationed in the English Channel every day, and today they finally waited for the fierce air battle scene.

Six hurricane fighters fought in front of their fellow villagers and showed great courage. They first shot down a Messerchmitt. This wonderful scene was photographed by many journalists and people on the coast with cameras as a permanent souvenir.

But the gap in strength between the two sides was too big. Just when the Hurricane fighter was about to resist, suddenly, a squadron's spitfire appeared, and the remaining Messer-Schmitt immediately met, and the two sides started a fierce pursuit in the light rain.

A few minutes later, a squadron of Hurricane fighters came to support and started a duel with the bbf    110 fighter.

The fearless fighter that arrived then began to drive out the he111 bomber.
