Chapter 1968: uninvited guest

"Your idea is not unreasonable, but I have already said that we must be prepared to bear certain losses!" Prime Minister Asquith emphasized that this is the situation now, Lloyd George and Chamberlain representing the military It is recommended to prepare for peace talks now, and Asquith wants to see again. However, just as they were at a stalemate and no one could persuade each other, a rapid and sharp alarm sounded from outside the house. After a while, messy footsteps sounded in the hallway outside the conference room!

　　 "I didn't expect that in London, the center of the empire, I would actually hear the sirens!" Prime Minister Asquith walked to the window sill, opened the window and looked at the brightly lit London in the distance.

"Did there be a fire? Damn, did they sound the alarm at the Prime Minister's residence because of such a trivial matter?" Lloyd George frowned and walked to the window. Although he had a faint premonition in his heart, he still Do not believe in your own judgment!

"No! It's not a fire alarm! It's an air attack!" At this moment, Prime Minister Asquith suddenly saw a huge fireball rising from the ground. After ten seconds, the explosion sounded from a distance. , The searchlights deployed in various places in London also shot beams of light against the dark night sky. After a few minutes, it seemed that the sound of the propeller of the aircraft could be heard!

　　 "Damn it! The German bombers! How dare they bomb London?" Prime Minister Asquith said in surprise. At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the chief guard rushed in with his entourage, and was about to transfer these three high-powered bigwigs to a safe area.

"The German bombers are here. They have bombed Grace, Bromley, Orpington, and now they have flown to downtown London! They carry incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs. The number is very large. You must move to A safe place." The chief guard said something incoherent, which is also normal, because until now, the British themselves don't know how many German bombers have arrived, and where are the targets of these bombers!

　　 "How could this be?!" Prime Minister Asquith had an incredible expression on his face. It is not objective to say that the British did not expect that the Germans might bomb London. In fact, before the war, the British considered the possibility that the Germans might use the Zeppelin to carry bombs for air strikes. After all, the airship’s range It is quite far away, so the British have taken some precautions. Under the leadership of Secretary of the Navy Churchill, the British deployed searchlights, some antiaircraft artillery and a small number of aircraft in the London area. (You read that right, it is Churchill. In history, Churchill also did something similar. This is called restoring history~~)

However, since the start of the war, no German bombers or airships have appeared on the British mainland. Therefore, over time, the British became tired. Most of the aircraft, antiaircraft artillery and searchlights were sent to the Western Front. The rest is also symbolic. More than the actual meaning, but what is unexpected is that just today, when the wings of the British Air Force can no longer cover the sky, the German bombers are here!

　　 "How are you going to deal with these problems?" Prime Minister Asquith asked the officials next to him as he walked.

　　 "We have prepared the fire brigade, ready to extinguish the flames at any time. The Air Force aircraft has taken off. They will look for the German aircraft with the help of searchlights and then shoot them down." An official said.

"Just rely on the sparse searchlights and few planes outside to knock down German planes? Now, how many of our pilots can safely take off and land at night, and will not lose their way after going up to the sky?" Lloyd George beside him There was a mocking tone in the words.

　　 "There will always be some differences between actual combat and theory, but the aviation force will do its best to ensure safety over the capital." The official said embarrassedly.

　　 "Not only London, but also other parts of the UK!" Prime Minister Asquith said angrily.

At this time, the German bomber units flying in the air seemed to be walking in their own back garden, comfortably flying over the British capital, and relied on some geographical indications or ground lights to determine their position. Tonight, indeed Many German planes came to the British mainland, and they did drop some bombs when they were fine, but the most important thing was that they were testing the accuracy of the Luftwaffe's long-distance night navigation and the British defense capabilities. Kick off the bombing of the British mainland that will follow.

"The British have very limited defense, with few searchlights and anti-aircraft artillery units, and no interception balloons. Not to mention the planes patrolling at night." On a K6 bomber, a machine gunner was very comfortable navigating ahead. Said the member. "They have almost no defense at night. If they can bomb at night, I'm afraid we won't have any threat."

"The effect of the new electronic compass is also very good. It cooperates very well with the land-based navigation station. The angle error is within a tolerable range. Through the measurement of multiple land navigation stations~www.wuxiaspot.com~ we can be more accurate. You know where we are." The navigator ignored the boring machine gunner and said to the captain.

　　 "How accurate is our bombing?" the captain asked.

　　 "Hehe, it's horrible, if we set the target in the city instead of a specific factory, then the result is still acceptable." One-handed said.

"Therefore, our night bombing can only be used as harassment, and does not have much meaning for actual military operations. However, night flying is still good. We can fly to London under the cover of night and then bomb at dawn. "The captain thought for a while and said.

　　 In the night sky of southern England, in addition to this K6 bomber, more than 50 other bombers and fighter jets launched attacks and reconnaissance on the British mainland. They tested the British's early warning and defense strength when flying at night. At the same time, the stability of the new navigation system was tested. One of the farthest crew even went to Wales. After some trial and investigation, the German bomber group returned before dawn. The collected data and information have also become the technical basis for future large-scale bombing of Britain!

"If we only target London, our J6 single-engine fighter can provide cover for the bomber group. If we want to go deeper, we can only use k4m interceptors to provide escort, but considering that the k4m is not excellent Mobility, we may have to bear some losses.” Admiral Halder wrote in the report to the prince again.
