Chapter 552: The Bombing of London

Today's second update
At night, a roar approached in the air. www.biquge.info The group of bombers of the Chinese Empire, disguised as the British Air Force, suddenly took to the skies.
"Woo woo"
A hurried alarm sounded on the ground, and the German troops guarding the power plant were urgently assembled.
Because the German intelligence department could not obtain a report from Britain and France about tonight's air raid, and at the same time, the Chinese Imperial Air Force assault formation was silent throughout the whole process, and the powerful Jian-10 fighters and H-6 bombers had been flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and under the guidance of advanced airborne navigation equipment, they did not resume communication until they were about to reach the air over the destination, and made contact with the Condor assault detachment on the ground.
As a result, when the German radio listening department detected a large number of incoming aircraft, the warning time was greatly reduced.
Less than two minutes after the sirens sounded, the bomber group of the Chinese Empire dropped to an altitude of about 2,800 meters.
Although the H6N3 bomber of the Chinese Empire dropped bombs at an altitude of 10,000 meters with advanced bomb sights, the accuracy of the optical sights was greatly reduced due to the night bombing. Coupled with the importance of the objectives of this bombing campaign, the Reich Air Force Command demanded that the first strike completely destroy the German heavy water plant, so the bomber group chose to risk descending to an altitude of 2,800 meters, thinking that the Reich agents had already mastered the fire deployment information of the German anti-aircraft positions guarding the perimeter of the power plant, and the Germans deployed the most 20 mm, 25 mm and 30 mm anti-aircraft guns, with an effective firing height of roughly below 2,800 meters. Of course, the German anti-aircraft guns also had 40-mm and 128-mm anti-aircraft guns. However, the number is small, the rate of fire is low, and it is difficult to hit high-speed flying aircraft at night. So I don't think about it.
Despite this, at an altitude of 2,800 meters, the optical bombsights of the bomber groups of the Chinese Empire were not able to accurately drop aerial bombs into the power plant. Because the Germans were very careful, they only arranged a searchlight system on the perimeter of the power plant for defense, and it was pitch black within three kilometers of the power plant, and the Germans forbade the lights to turn on the lights and not give the enemy air raids to see the location of the power plant through the lights.
The British, in addition to intelligence errors, also suffered this loss, and their bomber groups could not get in during the day. ββ At night, the target could not be seen clearly, and the bomb rarely had a chance to be dropped into the compound of the power plant.
But the reason why the bomber group of the Chinese Empire dared to start dropping bombs at an altitude of 2,800 meters was not because the Germans believed that the bombers had to be below 1,000 meters at night to be able to accurately hit the target. This is all thanks to the Condor special operations team sent by the Imperial Navy earlier, and it is this white Chinese squad of only six who helps.
The Condor squad, led by Captain Zhang Naiwu, spoke German fluently and learned the full set of German customs from their mother. Kill your enemies with a silent pistol with superior stealth technology and advanced silent combat weapon systems. Or kill the enemy with bare hands, and receive strict special training for them, this kind of silent fighting ability has become superb. The Condor team managed to infiltrate the power plant. And ten minutes before the arrival of the Imperial bomber group, the task of installing remote-controlled bombs and radio guidance devices on the entire vital part of the power plant was completed.
"Everyone's attention, the bomb will be detonated within ten minutes, and it will be quickly evacuated according to the predetermined route."
"C2 understands!"
"C3 understands!"
"C4 understands, the Trick Mine is deployed. Please retreat with confidence! β
"C5 understands that the retreat is under my control!"
"C6 reports that the bomber group has received a radio guidance signal and is expected to start bombing in 10 minutes, but I don't believe that group of guys are so punctual, the report is complete!"
"C6, I'm C1, tell me what you think!"
"The experience of C6 is that the experience of hundreds of air-ground coordinated operations tells me that the group of doping air forces must be stepping on the accelerator to accelerate and fly, and they will start bombing in eight minutes at most."
"C1 agrees with you!"
Zhang Naiwu couldn't help but smile bitterly, he also felt the same way. ββ immediately told the other four people to retreat that the time had been changed to eight minutes and they must evacuate, and everyone ran quickly.
The rapid withdrawal of the Condor team still alarmed the German OKW agents in charge of counter-espionage tasks in the power plant, and fierce fighting broke out between the two sides.
In close combat with the Germans, the M16 automatic rifle of the Condor squad exerted its power, and this kind of individual weapon with accurate burst fire and more fierce continuous fire suddenly hit the German troops who were only equipped with single-shot Mauser 98K rifles all over the ground. Don't look at the fact that there are only a few people, but in terms of local firepower, they are overwhelmingly superior to the Germans.
Zhang Naiwu and others fought and retreated, and after the decision, C4 arranged a large number of tricky mines, which blew up the German soldiers on their backs, suffered heavy losses, and covered the rapid evacuation of their teammates.
"C6 reports that H1 is already in the air and is lowering altitude, requiring us to provide immediate and precise guidance."
Zhang Naiwu looked at his watch, and sure enough, it only took eight minutes to arrive.
"Captain, now with bombing guidance, we estimate it will be difficult for us to get out."
Zhang Naiwu naturally understood, but he was a soldier and was ready to sacrifice before he came. Moreover, now that the bomber group of the Imperial Air Force had lowered its altitude, it would soon be hit by heavy German anti-aircraft fire, and the loss of any bomber would be a huge loss, so he chose to provide air raid guidance immediately.
"Detonate immediately!"
"Captain!"
"Execute the order!"
"Yes!" C3 sighed, immediately took out the remote control in his pocket, and shouted: "Bomb detonate!" " to alert everyone, and then pressed the remote control button.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! β
The remote-controlled bombs exploded one after another, and in an instant, there was a great tremor, and the huge explosion destroyed a series of key facilities of the power plant, but the most important thing was that the huge fire cloud raised by the explosion illuminated the entire power plant in an instant, and the strong light provided sufficient light to the optical bombing sights of the bomber group in the air, which could carry out accurate bombing. ββ
"Babbling"
It is dangerous for a group of bombers in the air to stay for an extra second, so immediately start dropping bombs. Huge aerial bombs roared and fell, and huge fiery red mushroom clouds rose up in an instant throughout the power plant. In an instant, it illuminated a radius of dozens of miles. The violent blast wave swept through everything and caused a series of large explosions throughout the power plant, causing a series of fierce fires. Smoke billows.
"Damn it! Can't you wait a little longer to vote? When our lives are cheap, it is not! β
"Don't be verbose, if you have the strength to scold, run quickly!"
Zhang Naiwu and several team members ran out desperately, the sound of explosions came and went in their ears, the shock wave made their bodies stagger, countless fragments flew sideways, cutting their clothes, and their bodies were in hot pain.
The Condor squad is worthy of being the special forces among the special forces, and at this time, they burst out with non-human abilities and escaped in the saturation bombardment.
Of course. There are also a lot of tails behind them, and the agents of the German OKW intelligence bureau are not vegetarians, staring at the Condor squad. Seeing the destruction of the power plant, they were already red-eyed at this time, and vowed to destroy this enemy who dared to sneak attack.
βc5οΌ What the fuck are you doing? You can die without a headshot, so get rid of our tails! β
Zhang Naiwu is not angry. C5, as the strongest sniper of the squad, was carrying out headshot sniping on the German pursuers one by one at this time, only shooting his head. For snipers. When assassinating a single target, the first way to get a headshot, but when facing a large number of enemies. Headshots are not allowed, because the target is too time-consuming, the target is not easy to hit, or it will waste some time for the master to correct the trajectory, even if it is a fraction of a second. ββ can make your own personnel killed by the enemy. Therefore, the sniper at this time is required to shoot at the enemy's torso with a large target, easy to hit, and to dry the enemy's living force in the shortest possible time.
And this C5's strong sniper skills have also created his proud personality The special forces of the special forces have personalities, because they have the ability to be proud.
At this time, C5, who was addicted to a shot, was scolded by the captain for a ton, and immediately knew that he was wrong, and quickly gave up the headshot tactics.
At night, at C5, 800 meters away, the daylight of the explosion uses the daylight of the explosion to locate the enemy's position. I saw that he scooped out the fastest shooting speed, fired, pulled the bolt to withdraw the bullet, loaded the bullet and fired again, a series of actions were extremely fast, and it was completed in the blink of an eye. Sniper bullets whizzed at the enemy, almost hitting the gun. The German agents immediately discovered that the other side was covered by snipers, and after paying the price of more than a dozen dead and wounded, they immediately gave up the pursuit.
In this way, the Condor team went through many difficulties and dangers, and finally successfully completed the mission and evacuated safely. However, after coming out, everyone was basically injured except for the sniper C5.
The bomber group of the Chinese Empire carried out saturation bombing on the German heavy water plant, and hundreds of tons of aerial bombs were accurately dropped, and the entire heavy water factory was leveled in less than 20 minutes, and the fire was raging and the smoke covered the air.
The whole operation went very smoothly, only two H6N3 bombers were shot, but the bomber with a strong body still dragged a long black smoke, staggered back to the base, escort colleagues pinched cold sweat for them all the way, until they landed safely did not breathe a sigh of relief. The Chinese Empire's strong level of industrial manufacturing enabled the safe return of these two bombers, thus establishing their reputation as a fortress in the air.
Germany's heavy water factory in Norway was razed to the ground, and the Germans thought that the British did it, and the British Air Force did not know about it, and Churchill, in order to cheer up the British, brazenly admitted that the British did it. For a time, the Entente camp praised the British Air Force, but the British also paid a heavy price for it, and after Hitler learned the news that the heavy water plant had been blown up, he immediately ordered Goering to stop the long-range bomber group from bombing the British mainland, including London, causing huge casualties and property losses to the British. ββ
It was not until many years later that this incident was made public, and people knew that this incident was done by the Chinese Imperial Air Force, and it was the world's first actual combat of air-ground cooperative operations, and it was written into the military by all parties in the world as a classic combat example
Affair Kory.
The Bombing of London, as a strategic bombing of the British capital London by Nazi Germany in World War II, began on December 16, 1938, the day after the bombing of the Norwegian Heavy Water Plant, and lasted until 1943. By the time the Battle of Britain was over, London had been bombed for more than 1,300 days and nights. More than 332,000 citizens died and about 900,000 houses were destroyed. As a result, London became one of the three cities most heavily bombed during World War II.
On the morning of December 16, 1938, the sky over London was still covered in a thick fog. The cold weather makes people hide in front of the fireplace to warm themselves.
The British coastal radar station found thousands of planes flying from the direction of Spain, they were the elite of the Luftwaffe bomber group, and they were originally intended to support the Spanish army to attack France from the rear of France, because the combat effectiveness of the Italian army was really not flattering, which made Hitler very dissatisfied, so it was decided that the coalition forces of Germany, Italy and Spain would attack France from three directions, so that France was exhausted.
But after Hitler received the bombing of Norway's heavy water plant yesterday, he decided that the British had done it. Hitler was so impressed by the fact that Germany's nuclear weapons research was severely hampered and that it was costly to produce heavy water, and he immediately ordered a group of German bombers on standby in Spain to bomb London in retaliation.
The air raid sirens in London suddenly reminded me that many people had not found a nearby bomb shelter or an open place to hide, as they had learned during training. Because they did not believe that German bomber groups would fly to London, after all, air strikes on a country's capital would attract international criticism. Unless notified in advance, the international community was given time to evacuate, but apparently the UK was not notified of this.
"Maybe it's a plane passing through London to bomb somewhere else!"
That's what most Londoners think.
When the German fleet flies. The fog over London has begun to dissipate.
Thousands of RAF fighter jets rushed to intercept them from various airfields near London. Ambushed by a group of Luftwaffe fighters around Portsmouth, it was clear that the Luftwaffe was well aware that the British Air Force would come to reinforce them.
The British and German air forces fought fiercely in the skies outside London, but the British Air Force never imagined that the Luftwaffe would attack London with such a large scale. At this time, many British front-line fighters were sent to France, so the British Air Force was inferior to the Luftwaffe in terms of the number of fighters.
So. The British Air Force, dragged down by the German fighter group, could not stop the bombing of London by the Luftwaffe bomber group.
In the blink of an eye, a large group of planes flew over London. Heavy bombs rained down from the sky and smashed into the city of London. In a matter of minutes, London was plunged into chaos, a large number of heavy bombs exploded in the city, and in an instant the mountains were shaken, and the high-rise buildings collapsed in the blink of an eye, and the smoke and flames were everywhere, followed by the heart-rending cries of the British.
These beautiful buildings, once built with the flesh and blood of captured blacks and yellows, were in ruins in the blink of an eye. A large number of iconic buildings with the glory of the British Empire, including the British Royal Palace, were the first targets for the Germans to bomb.
The British Museum, built in 1753, is the largest and oldest museum in the world, the British Empire once dominated the world to transport the priceless treasures of the world back to the United Kingdom, the best part of the British Museum collection, the collection spans two million years of history and civilization. Its circular reading room, where Marx studied and wrote Capital, was hit by more than a dozen bombs in an instant, igniting a monstrous fire.
The British Houses of Parliament, which is a magnificent and solemn Gothic building, is magnificent and exquisitely designed, and can be called the most representative building in the United Kingdom. It is home to the highest legislative body in the United Kingdomβββ House of Lords and House of Commons, and has been the stage for many major historical events in Britain over the centuries. In an instant, it was bombed by more than a dozen bombs and collapsed in an instant, burying thousands of British Parliamentarians, officials, staff, guards, etc.
Interestingly, Churchill, the big fat man, turned out to be the first British official to run out of the Houses of Parliament. Many years later, Churchill still argued that he wanted to know about the bombing by Germany for the first time, and wanted to lead the citizens of London to air defense, although smart people understood that Churchill ran out because he was afraid of death, but he had to admit that Churchill survived and quickly became a hero in the eyes of the British.
Buckingham Palace, the royal palace of the British king in London, is a grand scale, elegant environment, surrounded by ebons, and picturesque scenery. There are 600 halls and rooms of all sizes in the palace, the furnishings are luxurious, unparalleled in the world, and the backyard is an 18-hectare imperial garden, which is planted with exotic flowers and plants, charming and charming. The main palace is 110 meters long and is home to many of the state events of the King of England. Dozens of German bombers swooped down at ultra-low altitudes and dropped deadly bombs, one of which killed the seriously ill George V, who had been taking drugs developed and produced by the Chinese Empire, so he lived two years longer than in history.
Westminster Abbey, Tower Bridge, Big Ben and other landmarks were also bombed first, but it was the homes of ordinary people who were more bombed.
For Londoners, this catastrophe was just the beginning. Two hours later, another wave of attacks came over London, another unbridled and indiscriminate bombardment.
The bombing of London on this day became a nightmare for the British, killing and wounding thousands of civilians, including hundreds of British government officials.
But there is also a pure land in the city, and the only one that has not been bombed is London's Chinatown, which is located in the downtown area of London's Soho area. Because it is a gathering place for Chinese, it is full of Chinese restaurants, domestic product companies, grocery stores, clothing stores, antique shops, from Peking duck to Cantonese sausages, Shanghai snacks, from Jingdezhen porcelain to Tang costumes, cheongsam, everything, every Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other traditional Chinese festivals, here is full of lights, gongs and drums, lively and extraordinary.
Because there were thousands of Chinese living there, when Goering ordered the bombing of London, he deliberately added that the only thing that was not allowed was not to bomb Chinatown. Even if Buckingham Palace is blown up, it is not possible to drop a bomb on Chinatown, because that would have disastrous consequences for Germany.
All the pilots of the German bomber group had taken aerial photographs of Chinatown beforehand, so that the bombs did not fall into Chinatown, and a considerable part of the area next to Chinatown was spared. The powerful national strength of the Chinese Empire was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, and the British, who had always been unwilling to be robbed of the world hegemon by the Chinese, had to admit that the deterrent power of the Chinese Empire was unparalleled after this incident, and even Hitler, an invincible guy, did not dare to call out to the Chinese.
Throughout World War II, Chinatown tripled in size, building 444 new 20-story buildings and housing millions of Britons, but it also caused London's house prices to soar 20 times that of the city centre, and tens of billions of pounds of wealth flowed into the pockets of Chinese real estate developers. It was not until after World War II that the city center of the destroyed city of London became Chinatown, and after the war, a new city of London was rebuilt with Chinatown as the center.
