The High Command estimated that no matter how sluggish London was, it should have discovered by now that the Germans had landed, and the German Panzers reported that they had encountered at least four or five groups of British troops on the periphery, and that the prisoners who had been captured alive were almost a division. If the group of guys hiding in the caves in London were still in the dark, then the Germans could only grit their teeth and admit that when they encountered an enemy with such thick nerves, the high command should have begun to reflect on why they had not given each soldier a bathtub and two spoons to cross the opposite bank, and perhaps they would have occupied Buckingham and burned Big Ben long ago.

The German high command is now in full operation, the marshals and generals of the navy, army and air force and Xu Jun have been in the command room for 24 hours without moving, a bunch of old smoking guns in addition to going to the toilet, eating, drinking and sleeping are all in this command room, Goebbels gritted his teeth and persisted for two hours before he had to go into the garden outside, pretending to be deeply accompanied by a group of party sticks from the civilian and foreign affairs of the base to brag and fart, thanks to Manstein and Guderian went to the front, otherwise they would definitely die in this command room, The smoke leaking from the crack in the light door had already choked three or four guards alive.

This group of ambitious war criminals decided that this time they would definitely be able to lure out the British bomber units that had been cowering at bases in the north of the British mainland, these planes were Churchill's last cards, although these were just delicious meals in front of the German fighters, but there were more ants could still bite the elephant to death, and the high command had been very worried that the British would launch a massive bombing force in a desperate way, forming a large group of 100 or even hundreds of planes, and assaulting the German beachhead at any cost.

Although Kesselring patted his chest and shouted that the German fighters could fight ten at a time, even Goebbels did not believe his nonsense. German fighters now still need to take off from bases in France, and the burden on pilots is very heavy, and the high-intensity operations in the early stage have caused some front-line squadron pilots to suffer from battlefield fatigue and stress. It took the pilots who had problems to go through drugs, forced sleep, and forced grounding for vacation, to get those precious top players through the most dangerous stages.

The High Command estimated that if the British bombers took a continuous wave attack. Given its large base, the German fighter group was able to intercept at most about seventy percent of its aircraft, that is, at least thirty percent of the bombers could break through to the interception and reach the beachhead, which was enough to inflict serious damage on the German artificial harbor.

Absolute security of the beachhead can only be guaranteed unless the Luftwaffe fighter squadron is stationed at the forward base and remains on standby 24 hours a day as a regional air defense reserve, and the fighters at the French base cooperate with each other.

In the end, because of a series of mishaps, the most dangerous day passed inexplicably. But night does not mean safety, the British Air Force bomber unit has a very sufficient experience in night bombing, although they have knocked out their radar station, but they still retain a part of the radio navigation base station, which can induce bombers to reach the target in the dark night to drop bombs, although the error is quite large, but the number can make up for the shortcomings.

In the previous stage of air battles, the British bomber unit was beaten to the point that it was not wanted, but because the original foundation was too thick. So the British kept at least more than six hundred bombers of all kinds.

The Luftwaffe estimated that at least a third of these bombers could be used for night bombing, and some of them were old Hampton light bombers, ugly bombers nicknamed flying rackets with extremely long ranges. can fly 1,900 kilometers with a ton and a half of bombs, and it is this cargo who has historically attacked Berlin with Wheatley in a row, and swelled the fat man's face alive, thus giving him a Jewish nickname.

But the firepower of such aircraft for self-defense is rather weak. The structure of the airframe is also very fragile, and once it encounters a German fighter, it is a target for random attacks, and it is designed relatively early. The cabin space is so cramped that once the aircraft gets out of control, the crew members simply can't climb into the hatch to escape.

Historically, the British first stopped using this kind of aircraft for daytime bombing, and found that she had died even worse when she encountered German night fighters, so they simply forbade it to participate in the bombing of land, and all of them were changed to torpedo planes to scare German transport ships and torpedo boats, and in the end there was no famous record.

The other is the largest number of existing bombers in the RAF, and the most famous Wellington bomber, this twin-engine medium bomber aircraft is very distinctive, her fuselage and wing internal structure are completely composed of a country fence wall-style double spiral twill mesh structure, similar to the bamboo basket in the Chinese countryside, covered with canvas and aluminum skin, so even if it is beaten into a sieve by machine gun bullets, it is difficult to completely destroy her main structure.

This kind of bomber was once the main force of long-range bombing of the British Air Force, and the Luftwaffe fought with her all day long in the skies over Europe, belonging to the old customers, and the Germans had quite a lot of experience in dealing with it, her fuel tank and engine were absolute dead ends, and the belly magazine was also unprotected, and there was a considerable blind spot in the self-defense firepower, so once encountered, the German pilots could have 8864 methods to hang her up and beat her.

Next are the two ugliest bombers in the history of World War II, one is Wheatley, no matter what era it is put in, it is an ugly twin-engine bomber that explodes, the British Air Force cheekily called her a heavy night bomber, but it is a pity to see that there are eight versions before and after this goods, only the last one has a radar, that is still a 43-year transport model, the previous versions are all daytime bombing equipment, and it is inexplicably classified as a night bomber.

The reality was that the British Air Force knew that sending this cargo out during the day was purely to send her to death, and since the first night bombing of Germany after her first sortie after her service, she was never allowed to go out during the day, and all the pilots were trained to fly and bomb at night. Because of the needs of wartime propaganda, the British government simply boasted that it was a professional night bomber, as for the specific performance, it is very clear to see that she was assigned to the paratrooper unit to tow a glider after working for more than a year.

There is also a Stirling bomber, known for its poor take-off and landing quality, because it is a monoplane, the wing position is close to the middle of the fuselage, and as a result, in order to ensure that the stomach does not touch the ground, the landing gear can only be desperately extended, so this bomber has become the most upright of all aircraft in World War II, the cockpit is seven meters above the ground, and the vision is very good.

Similarly, when landing, the pilot must also ensure that the attitude of landing at a high elevation angle can be achieved, because in this way you can land at three points at the same time, of course, if you want to land at two points, you can also do it, but because the landing gear is too slender, once there is a ditch on the runway, the landing gear can not withstand the force of the landing will suddenly break, at this time you have to pray that there are no bombs in the magazine, and there is not much fuel left in the tank.

Because it was a head-up approach, the pilot had to adjust the engine throttle near the stall point to maintain the plane's lift, while maintaining a normal course with little visibility of the frontal runway, and eventually crashed the pile of steel onto the runway. Yes, it's a fall, and when this thing is two meters above the ground, it basically has no lift, and it completely relies on gravity to hit the ground.

Flying Stirling to take off is also a nightmare for RAF pilots, pilots must always control the throttle of the four engines, due to the excessive elevation angle, the aircraft can not feel the tail rudder effect for a long distance when taxiing, plus the four propellers are all rotating in the same direction, once the horsepower is a little bigger, the aircraft will suddenly deflect to the right, at this time the pilot is completely unable to control the aircraft, and then encounter the fragile landing gear and magazines full of bombs and fuel, once slid out of the runway, That's basically cremation.

In general, flying this bomber is a great test of the pilot's piloting skills and perseverance, and he can be called a novice butcher. In the end, the British Air Force was really scared, and as a result, it also set up a special driving test for it, and only after passing the test and obtaining certification can you fly this thing, which is equivalent to letting the pilot take a license in order to commit suicide. But many pilots don't know about this, they still think that flying is an advanced thing, only the elite can fly, and even go forward and rush to it.

In the end, due to the emergence of a series of new bombers, this seriously flawed aircraft was naturally eliminated, and it withdrew from the ranks of bombers, and was replaced by paratrooper transport planes and Wheatley to scourge the Red Devils.

The above four bombers are the final cards of the British Bomber Command, and there was originally a batch of Blenheim's, but because of the heavy losses in the early stage, most of them have been disbanded, and now there are about 30 to 50 at most, which can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean in a battle of this scale, and there is nothing to worry about.

In addition, the German intelligence service Eye of Odin has learned that the British Air Force is newly equipped with a large bomber, and the specific performance parameters have not yet been figured out, but the preliminary appearance drawings and photos have been sent to Xu Jun's desk.

Xu Jun recognized this new type of bomber at a glance, this is not the predecessor of Lancaster Manchester, this kind of waste wood is not to be feared at all, due to the defective power, resulting in insufficient lift, a little more intense maneuver she may play herself to death, in just one year of service The loss reached more than sixty percent of the total, of which forty percent were shot down by the Luftwaffe, and the remaining two and a half dead are called full of tricks, most of which are related to the two Rolls-Royce liquid-cooled engines.

Looking at the number again, there were not even twenty of them, and in view of the respect for this legendary model, Xu Jun ordered the Luftwaffe to remind the pilots to hit her engine as soon as they encountered this target, as long as they knocked out one, they could leave her alone, and that plane could not even maintain a normal flight with one engine, let alone land.

This made Odin's Eye worship of Xu Jun suddenly rise to the height of a god, and he could even point out the weakness of the other party by looking at the photo, is this still something that humans can do, this is obviously an oracle, an oracle, there must be an angel behind it, it must be so, and those who dare to have doubts will be dragged out and burned for blasphemy.
