Chapter 1980: Eagle Six over London
"Really? The bombing has not started yet?" Hearing the news, Marshal Haig did not relax but became more nervous. "No! This is absolutely wrong! The Germans are clearly capable of bombing! Why do they just fight with us instead of bombing? It makes no sense!"
"What do you mean?" Prime Minister Asquith looked at the flustered Marshal and became a little nervous. In his eyes, Marshal Haig was a determined man with strong self-control. It is obviously unusual for him to have this situation!
"I feel like this is a trap! A trap that further depletes the Royal Air Force! They attacked the area we must protect. The German fleet came, but did not carry bombs. So what did their bombers have on them? A lot of ammunition and steel plates! These bombers are a decoy! Lure our fighter forces to rush up, and then hit the head with the strong defense and firepower like a volcanic eruption!" Marshal Haig said excitedly.
"This..." Although Asquith didn't know much about military affairs, he was also aware of the seriousness of this problem. After a series of fierce air battles, the British Air Force was not as good as before. And now, if the air force really collapses, then the sky of the empire will really be undefended!
"Should we notify Marshal Trenchard?" Lloyd George asked.
"It's useless, it's too late. The interceptor from the French mainland is about to arrive on the battlefield. Even if the order is too late, the most critical problem is that we can't let the Germans use London as their back garden. Even if we are defeated, we must tell all the citizens of London that we are resisting!" Marshal Haig's words revealed a sense of decisiveness.
"So, it seems we can only wait for the result now?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.
"Get the ground air defense forces and fire brigade ready, and then wait for the results in the air." Marshal Haig sighed and looked at the fierce fighting sky in the distance.
Marshal Haig was right. At this time, after more than an hour's flight, the Western Air Force flying back home from France had flown over London. When hundreds of British aircraft appeared in the sky, London's The citizens cheered. At this moment, these airplanes became angels and saviors in their eyes!
I have to say that Trenchard is capable of being the top commander of the Royal Air Force, even in very unfavorable circumstances. He and his subordinates also did their best. This best is not only reflected in tactics, but also in responding to political pressure. In fact, if a plane taking off from Dunkirk flies at a higher speed, it can reach the battlefield in up to 45 minutes. After all, the distance between the two is very close. If it’s someone who doesn’t understand military or succumbed to political pressure. The easiest and least blamed method is for each fleet to take off by itself and then A passes by. The result of this is that the commander will not be blamed, after all, he can find the situation is critical and shirk everything as soon as possible. But the entire aviation team was killed! Because this directly led to the British reinforcement tactics! It's just a gift!
However, this time, over the Strait of Dover, the British Air Force set a rallying point. All fighters and interceptors went to the rallying point first, and then everyone went up with group A. I have to say that the quality of the Western Air Force is still better than A lot of local high. After a number of radio communications and various methods such as shouting, signal lights, and hand gestures, the Baotuan fleet finally reached a fairly reasonable combat plan. At this time, the German decoy fleet finally ushered in the biggest challenge!
"They're here!" Major General Veron, who was in charge of the decoy fleet, saw the British fleet entering from the southeast. At least 200 large fleets stretched their huge bodies in the air. Just in front, the 6 fighter squadrons completed deployment. Ready to tear the shield composed of German fighters, and at the same time, at high altitude, there are 4 fighter groups serving as guards and reserves. Behind the huge arc formation formed by fighter jets, at least 8 interceptor squadrons formed 3 attack waves. And where the Germans can’t see, at least 8 squadron fighters and interceptors are rushing to the battlefield! This time, the British also have experience, as long as they do it, it is a continuous attack! Until the opponent collapses or you die!
"Our state is not very good." The chief of staff of the same plane said.
"Yes, even though the previous guys were weak chickens, but hundreds of weak chickens plus ground anti-aircraft firepower still caused us to suffer a certain loss. In this wave, we may be more passive, but it doesn’t matter. Look at the time. , The British fleet has arrived, and our main force is coming soon!” Major General Veron looked at the pocket watch in his hand and sneered!
The British are like a pack of wolves ready to hunt~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Set up the battle, form a formation, and then decisively A comes down! Six fighter squadrons rushed to the German **** fighter group like a sharp sword, and fierce air battle broke out between the two sides. Hundreds of machine guns and machine guns roared in the air, and the intertwined fire net covered it. Throughout the battlefield, all planes were like insects flying through spider webs. They were accidentally killed on the spot.
In the case that the number and status are not dominant, the fighter cordon on the periphery of the bomber group has been cut into a huge gap. Even at this time, there are still sporadic fighters blocking the road of British interceptors. There was not much threat, and immediately, the interceptors of the entire 8 squadrons rushed straight toward the German bomber group like an angry bull!
In this wave, the British attack was very structured. The interceptors of the three squadrons in the first wave did not spread out on the same plane. The two squadrons attacked one bomber squadron on the side of the box formation at the same time, and the other squadron. Enter from low altitude and attack a squadron below the box formation! And this kind of multi-angle attack obviously dispersed the bomber's self-defense firepower. At this moment, the German bomber group finally felt the tremendous pressure!
"For the British Empire!" In the face of a bomber like a porcupine, the British pilots used every imaginable way to suppress the fear in their hearts. Following the experienced pilot aircraft, British interceptors formed a dense formation and rushed to the German gun array!
