70 Battle of Britain escalated

"General Limalori...... What makes you so anxious? Dowding didn't know what was going on, he looked at his men and asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Trafford Limallori is almost a bare-bones commander now, so how can he not be in a hurry?

He grabbed Dowding's arm and said, "Those bastards who don't know how to fight, ordered my troops to retreat to the north......"

"What?" Dowding did not yet know the news that the 11th Air Group had retreated, and was shocked when he heard this.

Doesn't this mean that the British Air Force has ceded air supremacy in the south-east of the UK for which the 11th Air Group is responsible?

"Who gave such a stupid order? What if the Germans landed? Dowding asked nervously.

Trafford Limallori didn't care about respecting the commander at this time, and he said angrily to Dowding: "It's Churchill's staff who gave the order, and they plan to transfer the 13th Air Group south!" ”

"......" Hugh Dowding almost squirted a mouthful of old blood at Trafford? Lima Lori's face.

What he had been holding was the reserve of the 13th Air Group, ready to plunge into the battle for air supremacy in the southern part of Britain as a last resort.

But this was the second day of the Battle of Britain, and his reserves were forced into battle...... How will this battle be fought?

What made him even more depressed was that in this situation, the German spy network was still there, and the 13th Air Group was transferred south, wasn't this playing into the hands of the enemy?

"This is the wrong decision, the 13th Air Group went into battle so early, it is not good for us!" Dowding shook his head and said.

Before Dowding finished speaking, the terrible air defense siren sounded, and the German bombers passed here, and the British, who lacked early warning, could only sound their air defense sirens again and again.

While most evasions were superfluous, the lethality of German attacks made them cautious in any city they passed.

Yesterday, it was because of the rush that thousands of valuable skilled workers were killed, and now no one dares to continue such an adventure.

Like locusts passing through, wherever German planes passed, all the people had to put down their work and take refuge in nearby anti-aircraft shelters.

"The Germans must be made to stop this attack on our air force...... At the very least, their attack should be dispersed as much as possible. "Dowding was worthy of being the commander of the Air Force, and he saw at a glance the intentions of the German army.

"Now, aren't all suspicious people quarantined? At least in terms of intelligence, the Germans should not get it again. He carefully analyzed and spoke.

Then he looked at the sky, at the German bombers that were far away, and continued: "At least, we should do something now. ”

"At least we should be doing something now!" In Churchill's office, the Prime Minister said the same.

He also saw that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to Britain, at least the Luftwaffe attack had achieved a phased victory.

If German planes continued to bomb British airfields and military targets in this way, then Britain would have no choice but to surrender.

"Bomb Libya! At least our intelligence agencies have confirmed that the Germans did find oil in North Africa! One of the staff members offered his opinion.

At least, the bombing of North Africa was a matter for the British army in North Africa, and it had nothing to do with the British mainland.

Even if the Germans learned the information again, it would only be a part of the loss of the colonial army, and it would not make the current situation on the mainland worse again.

"I'm for it! At least we should throw troops in Libya and let the Germans and Italians feel the pressure. Another staff member quickly agreed.

Churchill also thought it was a good idea, and he even thought that if the air raid on Libya was successful, it would reduce the number of German planes attacking the country.

"Then let the garrisons in North Africa act, draw up a plan as soon as possible, including scouting the location of the enemy's oil fields, and then take offensive action!" Having figured out the crux of the matter, Churchill opened his mouth and ordered.

He was not only trying to pass on Britain's present predicament, but also to open up a battlefield of counterattack and divert the attention of the Germans from Britain proper.

"On the other hand, using visual inspection as navigation, let the 13 Air Group intercept the German bombers as soon as possible, what we have to do is not sit idly by!"

After giving the order to fight, Churchill stood up and said: "It's not just about North Africa!" We're going to take night bombing, retaliatory bombing of the German mainland! ”

The Prime Minister has never been a passive beater, he prefers to attack each other. How could a man who could lead the British people to victory in another time and space be a weak man?

Although Churchill is slightly inferior to the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck, he is just as tough and strong, and he is not lost to anyone.

"Find a way to fight back as much as possible, we can't be beaten passively! If we can weaken even the slightest point of German resolve to attack, do it! After he had said the order, he walked out of the room.

……

In a huge reception room for the Führer at the headquarters of Germany's front-line air force, Li Le was meeting with his experts in the field of the aviation industry.

"My Führer, we are looking for ways to improve the range of aircraft." A technical expert sat opposite Li Le and said with sincere fear.

Because the range of the fighter planes that bombed Britain was slightly insufficient, Li Le proposed the design of a new generation of fighters.

This was an interesting request for the Luftwaffe, as there had been more feedback that the Luftwaffe was invincible and would not need more advanced fighters anytime soon.

In fact, most of the aircraft that Germany invested in the early stages of the war were used at the end of World War II, although partly because of waste, but more because of the outdated performance of these aircraft.

At least on the brutal Eastern Front, German fighters were always slightly ahead of the curve, which allowed German pilots to achieve amazing results on the Eastern Front.

Although these achievements did not help the Germans to win the war, they also proved that the German fighter design was advanced and advanced - at least much better than that of the Soviet Union.

"Plugging the drop fuel tank is a solution, and this improvement is immediate, and it does not affect the performance of the fighter." An old engineer put forward his opinion.

"We have studied the performance of the Spitfire that the British put into battle, and it is exactly the same as what you mentioned, this fighter is a fierce rival to the ME-109E fighter." Another designer added.

In fact, the FW-190 fighter jet, which can carry out more and more comprehensive tasks, is what Li Le likes.

Although the ME-109 fighter was born with an air combat genius like Hardeman, the ME-109 fighter series, which lacked room for improvement, ultimately failed to play the role of the FW-190 series fighter.

After the appearance of the TA-190, the ultimate modification of the FW-152, the throne of the king of German piston fighters, became Fokker? Wolff's bag.

And the Mercedes Smitt company, which was originally the king of fighter design in the Luftwaffe, had long since switched to the production of the ME-262 jet at this time.

Therefore, at least on the piston fighter, the FW-190 has more room for improvement and more stamina.

"Because of the design of the FW-190 fighter, it can be equipped with a larger drop tank, and the range can theoretically be longer." The aircraft designer who spoke first continued to say to Li Le.

These are from Germany's top aircraft design companies, including experts from Mercedes Smitt and Fokker? Wolff's talented people.

Now everyone knows that the Führer is not very easy to fool, he does not know where to know a lot of professional knowledge, and in many ways he is more professional than professionals.

He knows the relationship between the wing load of the aircraft and the flight qualities of the aircraft, and also knows the key to the subsequent improvement of the engine.

Those obscure proper nouns are at the hands of the Führer, and often a casual sentence opens another window for these professional masters.

The strong foundation of German industry is often such a window, which can make people suddenly realize and understand the more correct direction of future development.

"Hurry up the production of more FW-190 fighters, and do not stop improving them, we need more fighters to fight for the protection of the airspace of the motherland!" Li Le leaned on the armrest of the sofa and said with a wave of his hands.

Goering on the side almost grinned at the back of his head, Li Le's approach of building a large air force and doubling the construction of a huge air force was too much to his liking.

Because the Führer likes to talk about more pilots, he likes to talk about more fighters, and there are bigger and more advanced bombers.

So Goering even forgot to care about the Führer's increasing involvement in professional aircraft design and manufacturing.

The aircraft designers, who had been more averse to the Führer's criticism of their designs than Goering, were now increasingly willing to listen to the Führer's needs.

"This allows you to have a clearer design idea and shortens the time you need." Fogg? So says Dr. Kurt Tanck, chief designer at Wolff.

"Gentlemen, in the past we did not know enough about the enemy, so we wasted a lot of precious time, and now we must seize all the time to make the best equipment in the world for our soldiers!" Li Le finally spoke.

His secretary Bowman walked in at this time and whispered in his ear: "In the afternoon, the British took off again to intercept our bombing!" ”
