Chapter 162: Marceau
The number of British aircraft participating in the war was at least twice that of the German Air Force. British pilots originally wanted to overwhelm the German Air Force with their number advantage, but they were surprised to find that this was just a beautiful fantasy... The "Hurricane" fighter jets were as vulnerable as tofu in front of the German BF109, but the British army could not catch up with the German fighter jets. They rushed around in front of themselves like birds and could not lock them at all.
Therefore, air combat cannot be judged by number. Fighters with lagging performance are like targets to the enemy, and no matter how many fighters there are, it is difficult to gain an advantage.
This gap is not very obvious in the era when air combat is still relying on "dog fighting". In modern times, if there is a generation difference between fighter jets, it is often destroyed before even seeing the enemy planes.
Finally, the British fighter jets chose to retreat, but the German Air Force was unwilling to let them go so easily. The BF109 pursued and attacked the back with a faster speed, destroyed more than a dozen enemy aircraft before turning the aircraft back... The BF109 used by the German Air Force in North Africa is a relatively backward E-type, and its disadvantage is that the range is short, which means that if they do not have a long time to stagnate, they dare not pursue the enemy aircraft too much.
When rows of fighter jets with black crosses returned in formation like triumphal heroes, the German soldiers couldn't help but cheer, and some soldiers took off their clothes and shook them hard at the fighter jets.
The pilot seemed to be in return for the warriors of the 21st Armored Division, and chose to fly low altitude while passing by the 21st Armored Division... A fighter plane passed over the heads of the tank cars, and Qin Chuan could even see the German pilots in the cabin saluting them.
At that moment, Qin Chuan could also feel the pride and pride of the German soldiers, or the honor of being a soldier.
At this time, the scouts of the 21st Armored Division attacked everywhere.
This is the time for them to play their "home court" advantage. The Germans will record the location and distance of each parachute that fell from the sky, and then send a team of scouts to search... The pilot is a valuable resource, and the Germans will not be so stupid that they give up this opportunity.
If the pilot is found, it will be rescued so that it can play a role in the battlefield again. If it is an enemy pilot, it will be in trouble.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Qin Chuan and others. Their mission is still to move towards Alahman and move forward as fast as possible.
Surprisingly, the convoy was driving forward for a while, and a figure suddenly appeared in the dunes. He chased the car and shouted at Qin Chuan and others: "Hey, wait for me!"
"Stop!" Kuhn ordered.
The car stopped with a "scream", and the driver turned around and asked, "What's the situation?"
"It's a pilot!" Kuhn said.
Sure enough, a German pilot chased after him from the dust. He looked young and his face was charred, as if he had jumped out of the burning fighter plane.
After he ran closer, he jumped into the car very agilely, and then smiled and said, "I thought you were British!"
"What?" The baker didn't understand what the pilot said.
"Your car!" The pilot sat down in the empty seat without any hesitation, spread his hands and said, "This is a British car, isn't it? I also saw British tanks in front, which made me bury myself in the sand!"
As he said that, the pilot also flipped his pockets and poured out a pile of sand from it.
"Sir!" Werner replied: "This is the car we seized from the British!"
The pilot had three silver stars on his epaulette, which Werner knew was the symbol of the Air Force Warrant Officer.
"Yes, I know now!" said the pilot: "You guys are so good!"
"What?" Werner was also confused by the pilot's imaginary words.
"You can seize the enemy's cars and tanks!" the pilot explained: "Sometimes I want to seize several British 'hurricanes' so that I can fly home during the holidays to sprinkle pesticides on the crops!"
The soldiers couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
"You fight well, sir!" said Yakop, "We saw that you beat down at least fifty enemy planes!"
"I did three of them!" the pilot boasted: "If my plane hadn't malfunctioned, I would have killed more!"
"Wow!" The German soldiers exclaimed.
"Can you send me back to the base?" said the pilot, "so that I can fly into the sky again, God... I'm a little uncomfortable now. Your steam is too slow and it's still in the opposite direction!"
The pilot seemed very arrogant, and his eyes and tone did not hide a sense of superiority, which made the German soldiers feel very uncomfortable.
"What's your name? Warrant Officer!" Kuhn asked: "I need to report to my superiors and verify it!"
"Verification?" the pilot laughed: "Are you worried that I am a British spy?"
"No, it's just a routine!" Kuhn replied.
"Okay, my name is Marceyu!" The pilot replied casually: "Hans Joasim Marceyu!"
This may not feel anything to others' ears, but Qin Chuan's eyes couldn't help but lit up.
"You are Marceyou?" Qin Chuan asked.
"Yes!" said the pilot proudly: "What? Have you heard my name too?"
Qin Chuan was about to give a positive answer, but when he saw the indifferent performance of the German soldiers, he realized the problem: Marceu had not yet become famous...
There are 158 destroyers, of which 151 were set over North Africa, and the North African air battle has just begun, which means that Marceu does not have much record yet.
In fact, Marceyu was still in his growth stage at this time, and his record was only a dozen aircraft, but he reimbursed four precious BF109 aircraft.
"Oh, no!" Qin Chuan replied: "I just have a friend named Marceyou!"
"Is that?" Marceu looked a little disappointed.
"But it's normal that you haven't heard of it!" Marceyu continued, "You are the Army, I mean..."
Marceyu said and drew in hand: "The Air Force and the Army are two parallel lines. If it weren't for the plane's failure, we might never have met!"
Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile. It was said that Marceu was arrogant and difficult to get along with. It turned out to be true today.
Marceyu's boss gave him the comment: "As a pilot, he has poor character." This comment has been kept in his file bag, which is why he is still a warrant officer until now.
