Chapter 578: Need for air supremacy

The entire British Expeditionary Force is the most elite force in Britain. This is the British Jinhua. If this force is consumed on the European continent, the future of Britain will not be optimistic. Fast update without ads.
The most capable, war-tested, a large number of officers and soldiers who graduated from regular military academies, their departure will be a catastrophe for Britain. If this group of troops are killed, reorganizing the troops will be a hundred times more difficult.
This is not the age when you can use a kitchen knife and tie a sharp iron bar to a bamboo pole as a weapon. Professional soldiers are very important.
As for the navy, there is no choice now. The construction of the navy takes time. They will have to wait the last year before they have new warships. This is still under the condition that the other side does not interfere.
Even, the most pessimistic prediction is that the key task of the next stage of the UK is to defend the country, defend the English Channel, and wait for the Germans to attack.
At this time, an excellent army is the most important thing, and it is even worth it to get a navy in your hands!
Ramsey's will is very firm, even if he is in the navy, he must save his army!
"Then we need air supremacy." Lieutenant Colonel Jack Klaustown said: "We only have to seize air supremacy over the strait, and the dispatch of our naval ships is meaningful. Otherwise, the warships we send will also Can only be the prey of the German dive bombers."
Stuka, roaring over the entire European land, that peculiar howling is the impression brought by World War II, and at the same time, this kind of dive bomber attacked warships without any ambiguity.
If it does not seize air supremacy, the dispatch of the navy is meaningless.
In the previous wars, they have been unable to effectively control the air supremacy. The German air force is too powerful, bf109 and fw190, flying freely in the French sky, they simply cannot stop them!
But now, they must seize the air supremacy, that is, the air supremacy over the strait. Only under the protection of the air force, the dispatch of the navy is meaningful.
"Admiral Dowding, will give us air supremacy." Ramsey said: "Now, we have no time to wait. Once the expeditionary force loses its faith, it is easy to surrender all."
Although he was reluctant at the time, Admiral Dowding had no choice but to pull out his fighter force to help seize air supremacy!
Time is running out. When the last hope disappears, the British expeditionary forces in the encirclement can easily embark on the path of surrender.
Immediately, immediately, prepare the warship!
At the same time that the navy was preparing for warships, the air force's fighter force also began to take off.
It is not that General Dowding would not analyze it from the perspective of the interests of the whole of Britain, but he only looked further.
After the defeat in the French war, the British mainland became the last and most critical strategic location. The Germans would definitely try to conquer Britain.
In the early days, it was definitely bombers. Then, the British fighter force will have a very heavy task. They must protect their own airspace!
And now, he has a foreboding how difficult the situation will be in the future. Every pilot and every fighter under his hand is precious.
Dowding's vision has always been very long-term. Just after the Germans began to develop bf109, he had a foreboding danger. With his strong support, Marcel successfully transformed the racing aircraft into a fighter jet.
Even before the various technical failures were overcome, he had already placed an order. He knew that there was no time to wait.
This is Spitfire.
The biggest difference from the Spitfire in history is that Rolls-Royce has gone bankrupt. The Merlin engine needed for the Spitfire has died out, and even many technicians have gone to Germany.
However, the profound background of the great power is shown at this time. Cyrenk can stop the Merlin engine, but it cannot stop the Centaur engine. This advanced air-cooled engine is installed on the Spitfire, with an 1800 horsepower engine. , The Spitfire has long been a good maneuverability, which is completely comparable to the German fighters!
However, until now, the heat dissipation problem of the Spitfire air-cooled engine has not been completely solved. Therefore, the Spitfire pilots have more reasons to fly with the cockpit cover open.
When it was first developed, Dowding placed an order for 300 aircraft, and then successively placed orders. Up to now, more than 2,000 orders have been placed.
Among them, Super Marin has 1,160, and Le Fei's car factory is also about 1,000. However, due to the delayed delivery of engines, so far, the total output of Spitfire has not reached 500!
These five hundred Spitfires are far from enough to defend the sky over Britain. According to Dowding's idea, at least tens of thousands! Especially, tens of thousands of experienced pilots are needed!
And now, Churchill issued an order to fully cooperate with the generator operation~EbookFREE.me~ In this case, he had no choice but to do his best to mobilize more than two hundred Spitfire fighters. Flew to the airport on the side of the strait.
He could not mobilize the rest of the squadrons, because they were still changing to the Spitfire. They had just been equipped for a few months. If they were driven to the battlefield, it would be similar to sending them to death. At the same time, he did not mobilize other fighter units. , Isn’t it used for the Germans to fly over the old biplane troops?
Lee Air Force Base.
The sharp voice echoed over the entire base, this is the horn of battle!
After hearing the sound of the dispatch, all the pilots ran out of the preparation room, and they ran to the apron, where they had just completed maintenance and could dispatch fighters at any time.
Here, three flying squadrons, the 19th, 66th, and 611 squadrons, were all the latest Spitfire fighters.
The nose is high, compared with the Spitfire in history, its nose is obviously larger.
At the forefront was Henry Carson, the squadron captain of the 19th Squadron. He was a tall Scot with golden hair. He was running and covered in his flying cap.
Climbing on his fighter plane, parachuting on his back, and fastening his seat belt, he shouted to the ground crew: "Keep away and prepare to start the engine."
He was busy in the cockpit, pumping oil manually two or three times, and then pressing the activated electromagnetic switch.
"Hum, hum." Black smoke came out of the engine in front. This kind of multi-cylinder engine takes time to start.
After bursts of black smoke came out, finally, all the cylinders were working normally.
The ground crew made a gesture to him, indicating that the engine is normal, he released the brake and slid to the runway. Mobile users please browse and read,
