On his way to the Channel Islands, Captain Bruderton did not forget to insult the Royal Air Force who were too slow to come.

At a time when the Royal Air Force was able to come to the rescue, the Germans, under the command of Kesselring, dispatched more than 300 bombers to bomb London.

And 100 of them are still B-52 strategic long-range bombers, so in order to deal with the sudden attack of the German army; The British had all the night fighters and anti-aircraft guns they could mobilize to counter the German air attack groups in an all-out way.

However, because the performance of the German aircraft was more advanced than that of the British aircraft, this sudden air battle was killed by the German aircraft and suffered heavy losses.

Although the entire anti-aircraft fire network of London was fully opened, and those anti-aircraft guns were still under the guidance of radar against the German incoming aircraft group, desperately rumbling and returning fire.

In the midst of the intense searchlight shelling, because the British army had more shooting recruits; Therefore, their shooting skills are relatively poor, and the efficiency of hitting is relatively low.

For this reason, many Londoners are terrified and hide in their drottoes, bomb shelters, or simple bomb shelters set up by the government.

But with more than 7 million inhabitants in London, there were still many civilians who had no way to find safe places and bomb shelters to escape the night bombardment by the Germans.

Therefore, many residents and places were bombed by German planes, and suffered heavy casualties; The flames were in the sky, the smoke was billowing out, and the sound of cries filled the ears everywhere, resounding for a long time in this unquiet night.

Although the German planes on this night did not assemble more than 2,600 combat-use aircraft, more than 1,000 bombers, and almost 400 dive bombers as they did the first time; More than 900 fighters, like almost 400 heavy fighters, dispatched a huge number of air forces to bomb Britain on a large scale.

However, in the case of 300 new aircraft coming at once, the British army was still busy.

Especially after the German bombing, the airfield was bombed and there were big black craters everywhere; As well as the raging fires, there are also a lot of destroyed planes.

If it weren't for the deployment of radar networks in many areas of London, England, and improved Anderson-style home air raid shelters, and underground railway air raid shelters, I am afraid that the number of casualties among London residents would have doubled.

But even so, there are still many places where buildings have been bombed and reduced to rubble.

Moreover, those early warning reports and air raid sirens are constantly coming and going, like ghosts urging people to shock people's hearts.

The purpose of this German bombing was not to lure the British Air Force into a decisive battle over the English Channel and the southern coast of Britain; This annihilated the main force of the British Air Force, and destroyed the main airfields and military facilities of the British Air Force.

In order to delay the British air force to go to the Channel Islands for support operations, the German air force chose to bomb London, and the British county cities, as well as the Mersey River and Clyde Sound, the main shipping routes to the Atlantic.

Including the airfields in the south of the United Kingdom, in short, the British Air Force was exhausted to rescue the major cities everywhere, and there was no way to immediately dispatch the Air Force to rescue the increasingly bad war situation in the Channel Islands.

For the sudden air raid of the German army, Churchill, who had just gone out, was miserable; Not only was he almost injured by a German air raid; And there are a lot of things about air defense waiting for him to solve.

For example, the unexploded bombs dropped by the Germans were to be disposed of immediately, as well as reports of any serious effects caused during and after the German air raids.

For example, the supply and distribution of food, the number of casualties and the shelter and settlement of civilians whose homes have been destroyed, as well as the distribution of clothing and food to these people.

There is also the problem of fighting fires in areas that have been bombed, and the problem of drinking water and water, electricity and gas throughout London, and even the production and work problems of Londoners.

Finally, there is the question of how to build more bomb shelters, basements and bomb shelters.

In particular, there is also the issue of how to distribute the anti-aircraft fire network and aircraft to counter the German air raids.

For this reason, Churchill immediately summoned Sir Edward Bridges, the Home Secretary, the Secretary of State for Transport, the Secretary of State for Fire, the Commander of the Anti-aircraft Gun Air Force in London, and the Commander of the Air Force for an urgent operational meeting.

And the British Royal Air Force, which had just appeared above Captain Bruderton's head, was finally assigned a group to attack to support the Channel Islands under such circumstances.

And when they attacked, they were only able to get out because the sudden attacks of the German army at night gradually decreased.

Little did they know, however, that not only would it be too late for them to strike, but that they would bury themselves in it, being shot down by the German Air Force in the English Channel and buried in the sea to feed the fish.
