By October 1916, the German High Command recognized that spaceship warfare was ineffective. In eighteen months, only fifty-one attacks were carried out, during which one hundred and ninety-six tons of bombs were dropped, killing five hundred and fifty-seven people and wounding nearly one thousand three hundred and sixty. It is estimated that eighty ships were destroyed by Allied artillery fire and storms. Long before the law of diminishing rewards came into effect for the Zeppelin attack, Berlin was already making plans to build bombers heavier than air.

London was a target that Germany loved to bomb. Not only because London was the political and cultural center of the empire, but also because it was an important center of the armed forces. By June 1917, the Germans already had enough new bombers to resume bombing raids. The Gota was a giant aircraft of its time, capable of carrying one pilot and two gunners, one of whom doubled as a bombardier. It has a wingspan of nearly seventy-eight feet and a fuselage length of forty-one feet. Powered by two 260 hp engines, it can carry half a ton of bombs to an altitude of 12,000 feet.

Fourteen bombers flew out of the Ghent base in Belgium, formed in a diamond formation, and flew to London, a 175-mile range. In the bright midday sun, they dropped bombs, killing and wounding nearly six hundred people. Some ninety-five destroyers took off, but the unloaded Gota quickly gained altitude and speed and fled. Once again, however, this grand strategy is self-defeating. An attempt to force Britain to withdraw from the mainland to defend London ended in the disaster of the Luftwaffe.

On April 1, 1916, April Fool's Day, the Germans suffered the heaviest air attack since they entered the war.

"Wink, that's Portsmouth, tell Tristan that in half an hour we should be ready to drop the bomb." The captain of a Gota received a signal from the shaking wings of the captain in front of him, and it was time for the bombardier to prepare, but he had to wait a while and leave, otherwise he would be able to cope with Soprovis, and if it was that kind of light and weird Chinese swallow, it would be a big trouble.

"Yes, Captain." Tristan, the machine gunner and bombardier behind him, shouted loudly to make the captain understand what the captain meant, and the bombardiers on the other planes were also busy, and no one wanted to stay in the skies over Britain for a quarter of an hour.

"Enemy planes!" With a shout, the machine gunner quickly put down the work at hand, pulled the bolt and began to aim, the captains pulled the plane up, if it rose to more than 5,000 meters, the opponent's fighter could not maintain much time even if it could climb to the ground, but there was no way to drop the bomb when it reached the target, and it was more important to save a small life than precision bombing.

Those Thorpewis really approached from the rear hemisphere quickly, and the machine gun fire was very fierce, but there was not much threat to the German bombers who had climbed to an altitude of five thousand meters, and the machine guns on both sides wasted a lot of bullets, but the record was still zero, and the British planes had to return, and the Hans could finally take a breath. London looms on the edge of the horizon, and bombardiers have begun to unplug the last piece of safety, just waiting to deliver a big bag to Londoners from the sky.

"Da Da Da" more than a dozen lines of fire came from the sky, and three planes smoked at once, where is the enemy? Is it above? All the Heavy looked up at the sky, and several black dots swooped down from the light blue sky. The biplane fighter spitting fire snakes was painted in silver-gray color, but the British insignia with red and blue circles on the wings was not visible. What's even weirder is that they don't even have landing gear, and God knows how they took off.

The speed of the other side is obviously much faster than that of Soprovis, and the machine gunner's reaction is very fast, but the fire net has not yet been weaved, and the other party has swept past his side, so that he can clearly see that the opponent's plane has a total of four, two or two formations, although they are also biplane fighters, but it can be seen that they are not fighters of any Entente country, and the most bizarre thing is that their nose landing gear can be folded, and the wheels are shrunk on both sides of the cabin. Several of the bombers that were hit and caught fire soon began to fall, and one plane even broke its wing and fell headlong in a spiral.

The "Keep Formation" leader gave the signal to the captain, and the other bombers began to gather up and continue to climb, in which case there was nothing to help them except altitude. But the opponent has just dived and attacked from a high altitude, what is the ceiling of these fighters? The German pilots didn't have time to think, the remaining eleven planes continued to climb in a dense triangular formation, and the low temperature at high altitude made the pilots a little stiff, but they still watched vigilantly around, would the four strange fighters still appear?

"Da Da Da" is another string of fire snakes in greeting, the other party is directly hidden in the sunlight this time, or the old trick of diving attacks, but the accuracy and speed of the other party make their attacks extremely efficient, in the blink of an eye, two more bombers were hit, one of the pilot planes in the front row of the team was directly hit by the volley explosion, and the scattered debris made the planes behind hurriedly dodge.

"The long plane was shot." In Wink's frightened shouts, the three pilots of the No. 5 watched as the long plane dragged the smoke to the ground, but apparently disintegrated in the air before it could touch the ground, and the pilots in the rear cabin could even see a pilot being thrown out of the cabin and dancing in the air in a desperate struggle, and finally fell to the ground and raised a small puff of smoke.

"Drop the bomb, drop the bomb." The remaining bombers were no longer concerned with their target London, and they all scrambled to drop their bombs, then took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and continue to climb and fly at full speed towards the shoreline, although they were obviously not as fast as the opposing fighters. If they could see the four strange fighters hiding in the clouds, they would see that they were not Caucasians, but Asians with yellow skin and black eyes.

"Okay, boy, good job." The pilot's encouragement came through the throat transmitter, and the wingman pilot smiled and gave a thumbs up to the pilot. "Give them a fire this time."

"2501, you attack from eight o'clock first, I'll attack from six o'clock, let's play the long plane first, let's do it." 2501 obviously heard 2301's command, he and his wingman quickly pulled up the nose of the plane, and climbed towards the German bomber at an altitude of 5,700 meters, and 2301 did not hesitate to take his wingman who had just opened the meat to make a sideways leap to the left, and quickly climbed to a height of 5500 meters. Seeing the flickering fire on the nose of the 2501, it was obvious that he had begun to attack, he took the flaps, stepped on the accelerator under his feet, and the eighteen-cylinder planetary engine erupted into a roar, and the plane flew out like an arrow from the string.

In the air defense positions, flight bases, and even towns and fields on the ground, many British people were looking up at the sky, and those huge German bombers in the sky were like frightened African bison herds that had panicked their way, and those British fighters were like hungry wolves attacking from time to time, tearing at each other's flesh and blood. German bomber after German bomber fell in billowing smoke or simply turned into fireworks. Everyone laughed and shouted, as if the Germans had been defeated, and these guys who had bombed London during the day were finally going to pay with their lives for their blood debts, God bless Britain.

"God bless Britain!" A gray-haired veteran dressed as a brigadier general lamented, "These Chinese are our allies and not enemies, and if they were on the side of the Germans, I think I would have to hire a few typists to print death notices for our boys." ”

"Mr. Brigadier General, you are right. But it is the Germans who need to pray now, but it seems that their prayers today will not be well answered. I can only wish them rest in peace. A gentleman in a high top hat was beside the brigadier general, smiling, but there was no flattery in his attitude: "Since you have a preliminary understanding of the combat effectiveness of China's volunteer flight team, please truthfully state what you have seen and learned at the interrogation meeting." I think it means a lot to you and me and to Britain. ”

"I fully agree with you, Mr. Count, and it is fortunate that you have brought such an ally in. It is my duty and my pleasure to be honest about what I have seen. If you don't have anything else to do, I think I can go and draft a report that is very significant. ”

"Of course, Mr. Brigadier General." The Count took off his hat in response to the other party's military salute, and the two said goodbye, and at this time all the German bombers in the sky had become torches burning in the sky. The four fighters returned to the Montague family's seaside farm on the edge of Pusmouth Harbour without tire, where more than thirty planes had just been unloaded from the ship.

"Eagle Fighter?" A lieutenant general of the British Army asked: "Are you sure that these are four fighters of the Chinese kind that independently shot down fourteen German bombers?" Didn't any other troops help during this time? ”

"Yes, I watched the whole battle, they were all fighting at an altitude of more than five thousand meters, and the ceiling of our Thorprois fighters was about 5,500 meters, but if they barely flew to this height, the speed would be greatly reduced, and it would be difficult to pursue the enemy planes, and before the start of this air battle, our planes had already withdrawn from the airspace. Ground artillery fire? Hehe, Mr. Major General, the maximum height of our anti-aircraft guns is only 4,500 meters, how do you think they can hit German bombers above 5,000 meters? ”

"So I'm afraid the Chinese have made new progress in the field of fighter jets?" The arrogant British, although they are second-rate army forces, it is not easy to make them bow their heads, especially since they could go in and out of each other's capitals as freely as if they were visiting New Delhi more than a decade ago.

The data of the opposing fighter in front of him, behind the cold numbers is the pride of the cattle who have been shattered. "F3" Eagle "fighter", a single-seat biplane fighter, wingspan 9.6 meters, length 7.7 meters, height 3 meters, full load weight 1887 kg, maximum level flight speed of 290 km / h (actually 360 km / h), practical ceiling 7500 meters (actually 8410 meters), equipped with a 12.7 mm large-caliber aviation machine gun and two 7.62 mm machine guns, can also carry a 200 kg bomb or four 50 kg bombs, An eighteen-cylinder 690 hp (actually 750 hp) planetary engine was used. ”

Sir Haig, who sighed for a long time, could not help but feel a trace of despair for the strong strength of the Chinese in the field of aircraft, when everyone's aircraft was still based on the German Fokker Dr.I., the main fighters of the Chinese had completed the replacement, and the strength had completely exploded all the air power of the Allied Allies, so that the British Air Force, which was a member of the empire on which the sun never set, was really embarrassing.
