Chapter 107 White Knight

Chapter 107 White Knight
Go back in time 1 hour.

Above the thick clouds over the English Channel, a fully staffed squadron of the German 26th Fighter Wing was ordered to launch a raid on the airport closest to London.

About 50 Heinke 111 medium bombers formed a spherical formation in the air, and about 30 Bf109 fighters formed an escort formation around the bombers.

Among the densely packed fleet of aircraft, there was one that stood out very clearly. A Mickey Mouse smoking a cigar was painted on the lower side of its cockpit.

This was the car of German ace pilot Adolf Galland, who shot down 104 Allied planes throughout World War II.

Because of that cute logo he was given a nickname: Deadly Rat!

The fleet arrived over England and radio silence was broken.

"We are about to arrive at the target. Get ready in 10 minutes! Get ready in 10 minutes!" A communication came from the pager. Adolf Galland adjusted his carefully trimmed mustache on the dashboard, and then took out a cigar from his leather jacket and lit it. Smoking on a plane in the disciplined German Air Force was almost unimaginable. (He even installed an ashtray in his plane)
But this maverick guy has his own capital to be proud of - there are thirty-nine cigar shapes scratched next to the mouse smoking a cigar, which means that he has shot down a complete 39 times.

According to the unspoken rules of the air forces of various countries, anyone who shot down five enemy planes could be called an ace pilot, and anyone who shot down more than 5 planes could be called a super ace. So if Garland could shoot down one more plane, he would achieve the great achievement of "double ace", so today was a good day for him.

Looking at the looming target under the clouds, Garland said silently, "I hope one can fly" (destroying a plane on the ground does not count as a shootdown)

The fleet of planes swooped down in a black mass and began to attack the target.

High-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs were dropped on the ground in turn. Because of the cover of clouds, the British army had almost no preparation for this raid, and there was no aircraft interception in the air. (The British radar unit was not officially put into use until the end of the month.)
It can be said that except for a few anti-aircraft guns, the British offered almost no resistance this time.

A large number of buildings collapsed, large holes appeared on the runway, and the planes parked on the ground were destroyed by bombs before they could take off.

Looking at the great results of the battle, Garland was a little bored. What he advocated was an aerial duel like a knight, not a one-sided massacre in this form.

Suddenly, something happened on the ground. A small number of British planes attempted to take off forcibly on the runway, and the German attack group immediately turned their spearheads towards these planes.

There was a huge fire, and at least five Hurricane planes were smashed into pieces on their way to take off, but four other more advanced Spitfires still rushed into the sky.

"Okay, let's get started, Spitfires, four of them! Do it quickly!" The command came from the communicator.

The German BF109 formation swarmed forward. The side with a high advantage in the air battle had almost absolute dominance on the battlefield. The German army also had an advantage in numbers. The two Spitfires were turned into fireballs and fell to the ground before they could even climb.

The other two Spitfires did not flee after completing their climb, but bravely rushed towards an enemy that was ten times more powerful than themselves.

Garland nodded. This was the knight-like fight he wanted. He shouted "Leave it to me" in the channel and then went to face one of the planes alone.

The opposing pilot was also very experienced and wanted to use the cloud cover to get behind Garland and attack him, but the German ace had already seen through it and made an aerial maneuver in advance and flew to the side and rear of the opponent.

This was Garland's forte. In air combat without airborne radar, his sharp intuition could easily lock onto enemy aircraft and make predictions in advance. This was his magic weapon for victory.

Chug tug tug tug! ! !
Four 7.92mm machine guns fired simultaneously, leaving a series of holes in the Spitfire's fuselage. It struggled for a while in the air and then plunged headfirst.

"Double trump card achieved" Garland looked at the other party's falling figure and pulled out his cigar again. Buzz~~~~
Another plane fell next to him, and Garland thought that his teammates had finished the job, but when he looked closely, he found that the plane that fell was actually a BF109 from his own squadron!

Boom boom boom boom!!! The sound of machine guns rang out, and another Heinke 111 bomber emitted black smoke and swayed as it lowered its altitude. It was obvious that it had suffered heavy damage.

A silver-white special fighter plane appeared alone in the German army's field of vision high in the sky.

"Wow! Is it a new model?" Garland looked closely.

"No, it's still a Spitfire, with this color? Is it the captain's plane?"

You have to know that being unique in air combat is not a good thing. Aircraft with obvious markings will be the focus of concentrated fire. This kind of paint shows that the pilot is extremely confident in his skills, just like his Mickey Mouse.

At this time, the white Spitfire fighter had made a big circle and faced nearly a hundred opponents again, and then rushed up alone like a medieval knight.

German pilots, including Galland, were in awe of this heroic act.

"9 o'clock, one enemy Spitfire!" The communicator reported the position again.

"Don't call him the Fire Breathing Man anymore," Garland groaned for a moment, then said in the captain's channel, "Since he's like this, just call him the White Knight."

At this moment, on the white fire, Her Royal Highness the Princess was about to vomit.

"Hold on a little while, we can buy some time, reinforcements should be here soon." He Chi comforted the girl, and turned on the power of his right eye's image field. All he saw were German fighter planes with red markings.

Anti-aircraft machine gun shooting V3, fighter driving V3, [Sky Hunter]: The shooting accuracy against flying units is greatly improved!
The white Spitfires clashed with the German aircraft group again. The German pilots found that this guy's fighting style was very strange. He actually started firing when the planes intersected. You know, the time for the planes flying in opposite directions to meet is only a split second. How could it be possible to hit them in such a short period of time?
But the white Spitfire did just that, and it really hit. Two BF109s were hit when they crossed each other. One was hit on the wing and the pilot was forced to parachute. The other was even worse. The cockpit was pierced and the pilot died instantly. The fighter dived headfirst and accidentally hit a bomber next to it. The two planes disintegrated at high altitude at the same time.

So awesome! ?
Garland was so eager to see the other party that he pulled the joystick to meet him, but a voice came from the communicator: "Mission accomplished, everyone return home! Repeat! Mission accomplished, everyone return home!"

In the distant sky, British planes that took off from other airports had already appeared on the horizon. Garland took a deep look at the pure white aircraft, and then shouted into the communicator:

"Return!"

On that day, the German 26th Fighter Wing successfully completed its bombing mission, destroyed a British airfield, and damaged at least 30 aircraft of various types. It itself lost three BF3 fighters and two Heinke 109 bombers, with minor losses.

But this number just happened to make another Allied ace pilot. Because he didn't know his specific name, the German army uniformly called him by his code name:

White Knight!

 I tried hard to code some more, otherwise I would be scolded for being disjointed.
