291 Ending everything with death
I heard that another semi-automatic rifle, the G43, is also being mass-produced, and the battle between the army and the air force for this weapon is also heating up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition to the expansion of the paratroopers and the equipping of the Air Force with more advanced weapons, other subordinate units are also being equipped with more advanced weapons.
For example, the newly produced FW-190B fighter, which, in addition to improving some details, became a new fighter option for the Luftwaffe.
With this fighter, the Luftwaffe's superiority over Britain was even greater, so great that even the opponent felt the collapse.
More JU-88 bombers have made the Luftwaffe's bomber units more difficult to intercept, and those old, slow-moving HE-111 and DO-17 aircraft with low self-defense firepower have been transferred to the Eastern Front and the Balkans to standby.
The German bomber units, which now flew over Britain, were becoming more and more refined. The types of aircraft were noticeably simplified, making the British aware of the changes.
Originally, there were as many as seven types of German planes flying over the UK. Including three types of twin-engine bombers DO-17, HE-111, JU-88; There is also a single-engine dive bomber type JU-87; Three fighters ME-109E and ME-110 also have the FW-190A type.
And now, the JU-87, which flies slowly, but has a limited combat radius, no longer performs bombing missions.
The HE-111 and DO-17, two slightly obsolete bombers, have also rarely appeared. In addition, the ME-110 fighter, which was developed as a long-range escort fighter, has also been canceled from the mission.
Today, there are only three types of aircraft flying over Britain for bombing missions - the FW-190 and ME-109E fighters on escort missions, and the JU-88 bomber for bombing missions!
As the number of aircraft began to decrease, the degree of logistics became more generalized, and the efficiency of maintenance and replenishment began to become simpler.
After two months of long exploration, the Luftwaffe finally realized the amazing benefits of the Führer's emphasis on logistical supplies.
More skilled and professional ground crew, more abundant and unified logistics supplies, so that the aircraft attendance rate is more guaranteed, and the accident rate has also been reduced to a terrible level.
"The speed of the enemy's bombers is increasing, and the latest JU-88 bombers are more difficult to deal with than the previous HE-111 and DO-17." Dowding reported to a distraught Churchill at the operational meeting.
Churchill has been busy looking for that ethereal "shadow" recently because of Turing's affairs. But no matter how hard he tried, the shadow of the German intelligence service disappeared again under his nose.
He sat there and listened to Dowding's report on the air defense operation, looking absent-minded. In fact, he was really absent-minded, because the intensity of the recent German air raids seemed to be decreasing to anyone.
The other side seems to be somewhat reluctant to waste time on the bombing ruins, because the two-month bombing has completely destroyed all the factories and supporting facilities in the southeast of Britain and within the combat radius of German aircraft.
According to the various materials found in his previous life, as well as the historical documents that his sister deliberately helped him find from the UK, Li Le asked the Luftwaffe to target the bombing of the British in a very targeted manner.
Although the cover bombing could not have flattened the entire south-east of Britain, the highly targeted bombing destroyed all of Britain's major factories and facilities.
Such losses made it difficult for the British side, and the overall industrial level fell by more than a third, and it was even more desperate to spread it over all kinds of weapons and equipment.
In later literature, the British ostentatiously drew on the map the British industrial districts that had escaped the German bombing after camouflage.
As a result, none of these places have escaped the fate of destruction. Those factories were not just moved away, and most of them were left by luck in August 1940.
For example, some port facilities with huge equipment, docks and dock maintenance factories, hoisting equipment, etc., cannot be moved.
For example, some large-scale steel-making equipment, as well as special milling machines for the production of gun barrels, etc., are quite huge in size and high in precision, and cannot be moved in a short time.
Now, the equipment that has not been removed has become wreckage and ruins, and the industrial production chain in Britain has been completely cut off.
"Sir! Because of the Spitfire's performance leaks, as well as your discontinuation order, the number of times the Air Force can intercept enemy aircraft is greatly limited. Dowding reluctantly opened his mouth and introduced to the distracted Churchill.
He knew that the other side didn't care about the bombing at all, because the Germans had almost destroyed the British industrial system, and the most unbearable stage of the bombing was about to pass.
A full 1,000 anti-aircraft guns were sent to Britain by the United States, and these anti-aircraft guns from afar were deployed to the southeast to strengthen Britain's air defense network.
With this batch of anti-aircraft guns, the British interception of German bombers could be more rigorous. It was precisely because of these anti-aircraft guns that Churchill had the confidence to continue to sit here.
A few days ago, during the German bombing of Britain, 25 planes were shot down. With the downing of these planes, the Germans have not flown over Britain again until now.
Compared to the frequency of bombing by the Germans before, Churchill and his aides believed that the frequency of bombing by the Luftwaffe was decreasing.
In fact, his aides were correct in their calculations, and the Führer had ordered a reduction in the bombing of the British mainland, which the Luftwaffe willingly carried out.
But for Dowding, the changes in the Luftwaffe were what he really wanted to tell his superiors. The enemy is simplifying the equipment of his air force and is systematically updating his equipment.
The fact that there were more and more new JU-88 bombers and fewer other types of bombers showed that the Germans were eliminating aircraft such as the HE-111 and DO-17.
The elimination of some aircraft naturally means that there are more advanced aircraft ready to enter service or have already entered service.
According to his own estimates, he speculated on the thinking of the Germans, who found that their bomber had a problem with its range, so they were developing and deploying a bomber that was even longer.
In Dowding's view, if they were content with the status quo and waited for the Germans to come to the door again, Britain would be even more passive.
"Sir! Although the Germans are reducing the number of bombings, their aircraft are becoming more and more advanced, and we have found an improved version of the FW-190, and a newer version of the JU-88! Dowding spoke, reminding Churchill.
Bring this up. Churchill seemed to come back to his senses, he looked at Dowding, opened his mouth and said with a sneer: "General Dowding! The Germans are reducing their aircraft and using cheap technology, which shows that the other side has fallen into despair due to lack of resources! ”
Saying this, Churchill confidently spoke: "Believe me, the Germans are about to run out of ammunition!" ”
For a person who is asleep and dreaming, and is a person who is dreaming, the most merciful way is not to wake him up...... Dowding had begun to despair of his position.
"Sir, we've rebuilt most of the radar system, and the enemy doesn't seem to be fully aware of this fact......," Dowding cautiously said, offering his opinion.
"The Americans' fighter aid has arrived, and we can seize the time and strike back against the Luftwaffe......" With new weapons and troops in hand, the British Air Force commander once again had the confidence to fight back.
A few days ago, new volunteer pilots reinforced by the Americans had arrived, along with American aid, P-40 fighters, a new aircraft that were not equipped with several of them.
With this new type of aircraft, at least one that the Germans had never touched, Dowding's confidence grew. Although in terms of flight performance, the P-40 fighter may not be more powerful than the Spitfire, its performance is still "secret".
This made it impossible for the Luftwaffe to deploy tactics against the P-40 fighters, and it was able to regain some initiative.
Combined with the Spitfire and Hurricane, the three aircraft were mixed together to intercept the enemy invasion aircraft, and Dowding thought that he was still very sure.
He felt that the Germans had used disgraceful means to steal data from the Spitfire, and that it was only by regaining fighter superiority over the British side.
Now that Britain has a different kind of fighter jet, it is difficult for German intelligence to immediately figure out what the new fighter is.
In this case, combined with the already formed radar alert system, the British Air Force should be able to regain the advantage and even defeat the powerful Luftwaffe.
"I agree to this battle plan, if the Air Force believes that it has the ability to take to the air to intercept enemy aircraft, it is good to decide for itself...... No need to notify me otherwise. "Churchill was so preoccupied with shadows that he didn't care much about this kind of issue.
Originally, in his opinion, the Air Force was passively avoiding war, and the weapons were still leaked, and he could not count on it for a long time. He is now more optimistic about the more and more powerful anti-aircraft artillery units on the ground, they are the existence that makes the Luftwaffe more and more headaches!
"That's it! That's all for today's meeting. When Churchill had finished speaking, he interrupted the meeting, got up, and walked out of the room.
Looking at the lonely back of this slightly chubby old man, Dowding felt that the war he was facing, and the hope of victory for Britain was too slim.
However, as a commander of the RAF, he felt that he had to fight until the last moment for his country and use all his strength to help his country win the war.
Even if he is sick and brainy, he will not hesitate to do it! He wants to fight, he wants to command the Royal Air Force to fight, fight until the last moment! Or end the war with your own victory, or wash away the shame with your own death.
