Chapter 1738: Flying over Shetland II

After a while, intensive machine gun shooting sounded on the Bull, and several fire snakes flew to the British bomber. The machine gun towers on the belly of the fuselage, the lower part of the nose, the back of the aircraft and the sides of the aircraft were fully fired, at least 7 strong. The caliber machine gun ejected a deadly barrage, and the staggered flame storm instantly swept across the opponent. For a time, the huge body was shattered into fragments by the dense bullets, and the incendiary bomb also ignited the aircraft's fuselage. After the opponent flew past, the V1500 began to fall and before it landed, it fell into several pieces due to the weight of the aircraft itself!

The British never dreamed that they would be attacked by the Luftwaffe in a place far away from the European continent. When the K-8 bomber was first shown in front of the British, they thought it was their own aircraft for the first time. After all, even the K-6 bombers that were heavily used by the Luftwaffe before are a bit smaller than the K-8 in size. As a result, after a short silence, the airport, known as the watchtower, quickly became busy like a swarm of bombing bees.

Because it is far enough from the German mainland, the British did not prepare much anti-aircraft firepower near the airport. Although there are some aircraft such as DH9, at this time, because of the snow, the cleared runway and apron are all left. Give 0 twin bombers for patrol missions. The DH9, which was covered with snow all over, was thrown on the snow alone, while using FB27 to perform air-to-air missions? Are you funny? Now, the German K-8 bomber is still flying at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and it takes at least 20 minutes for the FB27 bomber to climb to this altitude under full load. After 20 minutes, the daylilies are cold.

　　 "It's a pity, we didn't bring bombs this time, and the number of our planes was too small." Captain Charlie, the captain of the Bull, said regretfully.

　　 "If we were carrying a bomb, we might not be able to get here." The deputy said while fiddling with the camera. After all, this time it was for reconnaissance, not for bombing. The Bull well controlled her desire to fly the plane down and fire a shot, continued to maintain her altitude, and then quickly passed over the airport.

"The main runway is a runway with a length of 1,500 meters. There is also an 800-meter runway to the north and two 600-meter runways to the south. This is really a big airport. The apron area is huge, and we can now see more than 20 double pairs. It is estimated that if the aircraft is fully parked, it will be at least 40 in size. Of course, the aircraft needs to be folded. (No surprise, V1500 can be folded

"It seems that there are a large number of hangars in the south. It is really not easy for the British to build these things in such bad conditions. The scale of the hangars is also very large, and hundreds of people are busy here. It is conservatively estimated that these hangars can Accommodating more than 20 various airplanes. Next to it should be the machinery room. The chimney is smoking, and they should be busy."

　　 "There are towers and some buildings for people to live in. Well, that's it. There doesn't seem to be any commendable defense nearby." Captain Charlie quickly recorded while observing the outside situation.

　　 At the same time, in another airport called Sentinel in the Shetland Islands, Lieutenant General Betty is inspecting the combat readiness of the airport accompanied by relevant personnel at the airport. To say, how did Betty, the guy who used to be in the battlecruiser squad, get here? Please, the North Sea Blockade is the idea he provided. As one of the few guys in the British fleet who has aviation insights and makes a name for himself, it is normal to leave this kind of thing to him.

　　 What's even more surprising to Betty is that he received a transfer order three days ago, and two weeks later he will be called the commander of the British Royal Navy aircraft carrier fleet. Of course, he is the commander of the fleet, and the real aviation operations must be handled by specialized personnel.

"On sunny days, our aerial reconnaissance effect is very good. With the airship and base, we can guide the auxiliary cruiser well to intercept, and the suppression of German submarines is also very good. In the last week, we even destroyed a ship. German submarine. At that time, the submarine was floating on the water like a dumb duck. An FB27 bomber rushed up and dropped 4 100KG bombs. Although the bombs did not directly hit, the two near misses destroyed the submarine. Pressure-bearing shell." The person in charge of the base said cheerfully.

　　 "That means if it is cloudy or at night, our efficiency will be very low?" Betty frowned and said. To be honest, Betty is quite unpopular with the people below. After all, in history, his subordinates have been reprimanded because of Betty's black appearance, and many people in the fleet have a bad relationship with Betty. Look at it now, people are reporting their results, what are you doing, and you have to wait for them to make comments after they have finished speaking?

"Not all. Our coverage is very wide. If it is not for continuous cloudy days~www.wuxiaspot.com~ slow merchant ships cannot penetrate our detection area in one night. Their speed is only 10 knots. Go up and down, and walk 200 kilometers in the sky in one night. Of course, if the opponent is a high-speed merchant ship or continuous bad weather, then we can’t help it, and without the suppression of the air force, the German submarines will be very active." The person in charge of the base said.

"It seems that in the next period of time, our efficiency will drop a lot." Before coming, Betty received a report from the Royal Navy Meteorological Department. In the next month, the weather in the North Sea will become worse. This also means that the efficiency of aviation investigations will decrease. The noose originally wrapped around the Germans' necks may relax, which is not good news for the British.

　　 "Huh? What is that?" At this moment, Betty saw a black spot and quickly approached the sentry airport. From what he knew, there shouldn't be a plane flying back at this time!

　　 "Check this guy for me!" Betty pointed to the black spot in the sky and said to the person next to her. The airport staff also discovered that the situation was not right, so someone ran to the tower to ask the relevant personnel. In this era, there is no automatic radio response equipment. To find out which part of this is, they can only send a telegram to ask. As for whether it is an afterthought, it is hard to say.

　　 "This does not seem to be our plane! Our plane should be painted with marine camouflage!" At this moment, an experienced pilot next to him looked at the black spots that gradually became clear in the distance and said loudly. "It's like a Luftwaffe camouflage!"
