Chapter 514 Silver Peng over London
After discovering that the German army was using radio navigation technology to improve the accuracy of night bombing, the British army quickly took targeted measures and established a number of special radio stations to deliberately misforward or strongly interfere with the German radio navigation signals, and through these early electronic countermeasures, the bombing accuracy of the German radio navigation was reduced by 80%, and the German army was lured to drop a large number of bombs into no man's land.
Due to the heroic resistance of British fighters, anti-aircraft guns and other units, the German losses are getting bigger and bigger, and in order to reduce the losses of aircraft, the German air raids gradually changed from day to night, and the scale and intensity are also gradually reduced, and the scale of more than 500 sorties is only a handful. Because the tactics of the main area of the night area were adopted, apart from destroying the buildings of the city, massacring civilians, and creating an atmosphere of terror, the military role was minimal.
However, the air force of the Chinese Volunteers made a brilliant appearance on a day called "E-Day", allowing the British and German families, who had been torn apart for more than half a year, to observe what air superiority and absolute air supremacy were. When Major General Lin Huaiqing carried the half-dead British Royal Air Force to educate Marshal Kasselin anyway, "This is called fighting for air supremacy, this is called point point operations, this is called carpet bombing, this is called Lao Tzu is in a very sunny mood, and this is called Ru Mu is very happy..." The same opponent, the Luftwaffe with two or three thousand tens of thousands of people almost lost its soul, and did not wipe out the damned British Xiaoqiang, but as soon as the Chinese made a move, the Germans understood what an air lord was, the first in the world, and it turned out that the second to the second in the world combined could not do what he meant with one hand.
"Hey, Brown, you're late today, are you going back to London to find a rag doll?" The sergeant on duty at the radar station in Portsmouth, who looked tired, gave up his place to the sergeant who took over, while wondering if he could go to the kitchen to see if he could mix a cup of coffee to satisfy his cravings, although it was a terrible substitute to die, it was better than the black tea of the Indian plant that he drank overnight, without Darjeeling, Indian tea would be scum.
"Forget it, London is about to become Stonehenge, and my house is lucky to be on the outskirts of the city, there are no bombs... Oh, what's wrong with this? The original bright color on the screen turned into a snowflake, and the loudspeaker was like the rustle of a silkworm house, and the pulse buzzer was almost drowned out. The two sighed, it must have been used too often some time ago, this radar is finally broken, see if it can be repaired, otherwise this will become a public toilet for Germans, you can get in and out if you want.
However, they may not have imagined that the radar stations of Bath, Southampton, Poncimus, Canterbury, London, Bristol, Ipswich, all of the 11th Sentai Defence Zones were also covered with snowflakes, and at this moment the British air defense network was quietly put away by a black hand.
"Does the radar station have a phone?"
"Not yet. It seems that the Germans went to pray today, they were late. ”
"German pigs are all pagans, they don't pray, but maybe they won't be too busy today, by the way, there is a Japanese ship arriving in Ipswich today, and there are a lot of Chinese goods on it, do you want to try your luck in the port?"
"Our radio was smashed by the ceiling, maybe the Chinese appliances can be a little better than the German knockoffs." Oh God, what is that? "In the trench of the coastal observation post, a black cloud appeared in the field of vision of the two observation posts, it was the rhyme of death composed of a group of fighters and bombers, but such a huge swarm attacked, could it be that the people in the radar station in Portsmouth were all asleep? How could it be that he didn't find out yet, picked up the phone, and then there was a busy tone, while greeting the little in the phone class, while anxiously observing the clouds in the sky that were getting closer and closer.
The telephone was destined not to be connected, because all the lines were destroyed by the F6 "Golden Eagle" fighters of the Chinese Volunteers who penetrated the defense at low altitudes with graphite bombs, and in a 50-kilometer strip area from the coast of Britain to the inland, the wires were all fluttering metal wires, and the power supply network after the short circuit paralyzed all the wired communication equipment of the British, and the radio became deaf and dumb in the sky with aluminum foil, and the British air defense circle had disarmed the incoming Volunteer Air Force.
"The target F98B has arrived, the type of bomb piercing and detonation is confirmed, the insurance is lifted, and it will be handed over to you, Lao Geng." Geng Chunguo, the bombardier sitting in the glass cockpit in front, took over command of the B5 Horizon bomber, and the roof of the Canterbury air defense command center was as clearly visible as a thermos mug in the Norton commander's view. Finally, with a flick of his finger, an armor-piercing high-explosive bomb roared towards the turtle's lid.
In the scream, an armor-piercing high-explosive tungsten alloy warhead under the action of gravitational acceleration, through a five-foot thick layer of soil and a 50-centimeter layer of concrete, and then through two layers of cement floor slabs, finally stopped in the ventilation room of the command center, and then under the action of a mechanical timer, detonated 200 kilograms of high-energy explosives, a blazing flame instantly burned the rotating fan, and then a majestic wave of air broke through the heavy access control, setting off a hurricane in the narrow underground passage, Although the command staff of the British Royal Air Force, who were thrown to the wall by the air pressure in an instant, did not suffer external injuries, most of their organs were crushed by the air pressure, and they bled and died on the spot.
"The target F98B has been destroyed, the second target G87L, the course is 122, and the bomb is dropped after 2 minutes."
"The target V12M has arrived, the type of ammunition piercing the incendiary bomb is confirmed, the insurance is lifted, please take over."
"The target V12M has been destroyed, the third target N30K, the course 109, 4 minutes later the bomb was dropped."
"Target F98B has been confirmed......"
On board the B5 "Horizon" bomber, the German pilot Hans. Seymour finally understood how big the gap was between the Luftwaffe and the Chinese Air Force, and a B5 with a Norton sight could accurately bomb seven or eight standard air defense targets, equal to the efficiency of a previous squadron of JU88 or 4-5 B6 Whirlwind bombers. If there were enough pilots, the airport would be efficient enough to take off and land, which was certainly not a problem, but the Luftwaffe never seemed to be so generous. Although the four-engine B5 is an old commodity more than ten years ago, the bomb bay can carry a maximum bomb load of 5,800 kg (12,800 pounds), the firepower of 14 large-caliber machine guns and the accuracy of the Norton 3rd generation bomb sight, combined with the superb aviation command and flight technology of the Royal Chinese Air Force, it is simply a complete explosion of thousands of JU88s of the three German air forces.
"I sat behind the bombardier, which was the radio operator's position, but he was taking the place of the machine gunner on the left, and control of the call was handed over to the captain. The whole plane was handed over to the bombardier to fine-tune the control, and on the small handle in his hand, it was equivalent to turning the whole plane into his bow and crossbow, which is the best portrayal of the arm and finger. Compared with Ju88, which is highly dependent on tacit understanding, the B5, an old guy who was already famous fifteen years ago, is so humane, which really makes our Air Force ashamed. The Chinese are not only ahead in aviation technology, they have even created many technologies and tactics that we still cannot fully imitate, just as today's point-and-point combat is a typical oriental miracle. I don't know how the British are now, but I am sure that if Operation Eagle Day is launched now, our losses will not exceed single digits. Unless God personally intervenes, it is impossible for the British to effectively mobilize their troops without losing 95% of the radar and command sectors, and the F6s that flew from Antwerp to escort us outside our windows were simply intimate nannies compared to our Bf109s, they had been protecting us for nearly an hour, but they never seemed to worry about fuel, and the British Spitfires and handsome soldiers who fought with them in the air were beaten into fireballs one after another, It seems that this is just training in the shooting of towed target aircraft. I even have a deep sense of powerlessness about this, and perhaps this is why the Royal Chinese Air Force has always instilled in their pilots that "we have always been imitated, but never surpassed." "Yes, I have every confidence that they did what they said they would."
In this air raid, the Chinese Volunteer Air Force easily completely tore apart the radar defense system of the British at the cost of one plane crashing and three minor injuries. Under China's aluminum foil offensive, the radar did not respond to the Chinese shuttled back and forth across the strait, knowing that until they were destroyed, China lost enough aluminum to build two F6s, but in exchange for the complete collapse of the British defense system, in the next two or three days the air defense of the south of west London will become extremely difficult, just the deployment of the new radar and the restoration of various sectors is not a matter of 72 hours, but the British have no 72 hours.
On the evening of May 21, the main force of the Chinese Volunteer Air Force launched a large-scale air raid, which was launched with the aim of destroying the potential of the British Royal Air Force that was hindering the German landing. That night, the Chinese Air Force flew more than 1,500 sorties to indiscriminately bomb British airfields, radar stations, aviation industry bases, oil depots, and transportation hubs in England and Wales, and all the pilots involved in the war were instructed to drop bombs on any one, two, and third-class targets, and 2,700 tons of explosive bombs and incendiary bombs fell on the heads of the British Air Force, and the fire lit up most of the British night sky, and 1,436 people were killed and more than 3,800 seriously injured in the British Royal Air Force. But what is even more terrible than the casualties is that the blood-forming capacity of the RAF has been completely destroyed, Coventry has become a purely geographical term, and the mechanical and metallurgical industries of Manchester, Aberdeen, Newcastle, and Sunderland have been severely damaged.
With the beginning of the first wave of beach-grabbing landings of the German army on 28 May, the main force of the Volunteer Air Force turned to support the ground battlefield, and the strategic air raids on Britain finally stopped, and the most thrilling air supremacy struggle in the history of human warfare -- the Battle of Britain -- finally came to an end.
