Chapter 420: It's not easy to fool the Royal Air Force

"Fifty kilometers away. "In the radar station, new target data came www.biquge.info.

Fifty kilometers away from the radar, then to his side, only about two hundred kilometers, Neuer made a fist and said to the Crimea beside him: "Ignition!" ”

Ignition!

With the order, an oil worker, with a match and a lighter in his hand, lit a torch dipped in gasoline, and then threw the torch into the half-cut oil drum.

Immediately, the smoke and dust billowed out, and one by one the oil drums were set on fire!

When crude oil is pumped out, it is a black viscous substance, and these crude oils need to be refined to obtain various manufactured products, such as diesel, gasoline, kerosene, heavy oil, asphalt, and so on.

Gasoline and kerosene can be ignited directly, but diesel and heavy oil cannot be ignited directly, and the problem is the structure of oil.

Light fuels can ignite directly, but heavy fuels cannot.

It's the same when it comes to crude oil, heavy crude oil can't be ignited directly, light crude oil can.

Now, to be on the safe side, light the torch first, then use the torch to light the crude oil, and then you can set it on fire.

When the torch was thrown into the oil drum, within a few seconds, the flames inside burned brightly, and at the same time, a huge black smoke came out.

One by one, the ignition points were ignited, and the smoke soon became dense, covering the entire oil field and the surrounding area.

In the distant sky, there was already a rumbling sound.

British bomber troops, arrived!

Philip's bomber flew at the forefront of the entire formation, and the weather was good all the way, and he was full of confidence in this bombing.

In particular, the whole group flew over the border and into the desert without any hindrance, and he was even more confident.

You know, Libya is full of deserts, and the population, mainly in the coastal areas, is concentrated.

In the inland oil fields, except for the oil workers, only the oasis is inhabited, so they don't have to worry about being discovered, even if they fly all the way inland from Egypt.

The sky was clear and it was a good day for bombing.

"It's about to enter the sky above the target." Behind him, the navigator said to him.

When you are about to enter the sky above the target, use the incendiary bombs you carry to set the entire oil field on fire! Philip thought in his heart, and couldn't help but look at the distant land.

This look made his heart cold.

What is that?

As far as Philip could see, there was actually billowing black smoke, which was spreading towards the sky, and the black smoke was quite thick, and the area was quite large!

"Damn it, these Germans!" Philip cursed.

Philip, of course, knew that these thick smokes did not occur naturally, but were definitely artificially directed.

What are the Germans doing?

Did they know that they were coming to bomb, so they deliberately set the oil well on fire? If you really want to do this, you can only say that the Germans are too cruel, ruthless to the enemy, and ruthless enough to themselves.

In order not to let the British bomb, they lit it themselves first? What's going on?

"Attention, order the entire squadron, lower the altitude, let's go down and have a look." Philip shouted.

In the last seat, the radioman and the heavy, who heard Philip's order, immediately adjusted the radio and gave Philip's order.

"Attention the 12th squadron, immediately descend in height, immediately descend in height."

The "fighter" bombers lowered their altitude, from a height of three thousand meters, to more than a hundred meters, and at the same time, they were getting closer and closer to the smoke.

Philip's heart was full of doubts.

This is so important to the Germans that they are willing to set it on fire? Maybe it's the smoke they deliberately released to make them go in vain!

If that's the case, it's underestimating the Royal Air Force!

Your flying skills are quite exquisite, if the opponent deliberately releases a smoke screen, then you can pass through which smoke screens!

You must know that the higher the smoke, the larger the area of diffusion, and at the low place, there will definitely be gaps that can be drilled through!

At a height of one hundred meters, it is easy to see the fire source in the distance, and it seems that there is definitely a problem, continue to lower the height!

"They didn't set fire to oil wells, they were oil drums, flew in, looked for oil wells to attack!" Philip suddenly shouted.

The pilot's eyesight is quite keen, Philip has seen the outermost fire source, and there is no kowtow machine on the fire source, which means that it is not an oil well!

Moreover, according to the height of those fire sources, he also judged that they were oil drums!

Fly in and attack!

If the altitude of the flight was too high just now, it would definitely pass through this thick smoke and make them return in vain, and now, at a very low altitude, drill in, find oil wells, and attack!

The distance between the source of fire and the source of fire was large enough for his bomber to pass through easily, lowering the plane to a height of fifty meters, and with surging momentum, Philip's bomber, got into it first!

If you want to fool the Royal Air Force, it's not that easy!

With this superb skill, Philip's bomber, interspersed in the gaps between the fires, he has to find the location of the oil well!

Behind him, the other bombers, like him, also nimbly swooped down and got in.

Only those double-engine bombers, not as flexible as this single-engine, did not dare to come down, and could only hover in the air.

The engine of the "fighter" bomber made a rumbling sound, the propeller stirred the air current, and from time to time a puff of black smoke flew by, Philip's attention was highly tense, if he flew directly into the black smoke, once the engine swallowed the smoke, it would definitely go out, at such a low altitude, after the fire was turned off, it would definitely fall off.

Fortunately, this light bomber, as nimble as a biplane, doesn't matter if it shuttles back and forth in the flames.

However, as he moved forward, the uneasiness in his heart grew.

According to his plan, when his plane drilled into these flames, he should easily find the kowtow machine of those oil wells, but now, after passing through dozens of flames, there is still no discovery!

What's going on?

The more he flew forward, the more uneasy Philip's heart became, and he plunged headlong into it, looking for the oil well, but he didn't find it, what does this mean?

Oil fields, most likely not here! Here is a trap laid by the Germans!

Now what? Can he just pull it up, cross the smoky area, and fly high into the air? No way! In that case, his engine would definitely go out because he swallowed a lot of black smoke, and he couldn't go back in a circle, it was easy to collide with the plane coming in from behind, and he could only fly forward!

At this time, Philip no longer had the confidence he had just had, and he felt more and more terrible.
