Although both China and the United States have begun to openly support Britain, they have not declared war on Germany after all, so the extent of their involvement is still limited, and the next German air raid will have to rely on Britain to resist itself.

Churchill knew very well that this air battle was the moment to decide the fate of the British Isles, he must do his best, if he does not win, he will die, first of all, the British set up an aircraft manufacturing department in the wartime cabinet, and increased the production of aircraft from 700 to 1,600, which more than doubled, which also fully proves that aircraft are not a big problem for developed industrial countries, the difficulty is the pilot, and every country has a large number of planes waiting for the pilot!

The British also adjusted the focus of the country's defense, placing the main defense forces on London, and urgently set up a training school, which was too late to train pilots, but could train air and ground personnel.

A special command command was set up to command fighter units, anti-aircraft artillery units, as well as anti-aircraft radar observation units throughout the country. The fighter unit has a total of 56 squadrons and a total of 980 fighters, including 688 "Hurricane" and "Spitfire" fighters with excellent performance.

The antiaircraft artillery unit has a total of 7 divisions and more than 4,000 antiaircraft guns, but less than 2,000 large-caliber antiaircraft guns are used, and because the monthly output of large-caliber antiaircraft guns is only 40, it is difficult to increase the number in a short period of time, so the British army adjusted its deployment and deployed about 700 large-caliber antiaircraft guns in aircraft factories as key defense areas.

In addition, there are 5 brigades of air defense balloons, more than 1,500 balloons, these balloons are tied to cars, can be quickly transferred, plus 2,700 searchlights.

Britain was also the first country to develop radar, and by July a total of 51 radar stations had been built across the country. Thirty-eight were laid out along the southeastern coast. The number of radar stations in the UK is far inferior to that of China. However, Britain has the advantage of being a small country, so the density of radars is higher than that of China, and it can provide powerful reconnaissance of German aircraft.

Britain is in full swing preparing for war. At this time, Germany was also planning an attack on England, and the weather in the Atlantic Ocean was affected by the monsoon, which would become very bad after September, and the storms and extreme weather would cause great trouble to combat operations. So there was not much time left for Hitler, about two months left.

Germany had to use the air force to destroy the British defense system, and seize the sea control of the English Channel, and then assist the German Army to land in the United Kingdom, everything had to be achieved by the air force, and at this time the German people really felt the importance of aircraft carriers.

If the two German aircraft carrier battle groups are still there, they can sail to the English Channel, and the sea supremacy is at their fingertips, and now the Tirpitz is seriously damaged, and it will take half a year to repair. There was absolutely no time to attack the British, and the Bismarck had sunk. This drastically reduced the intensity of the German attack, and it was a mistake to let the Bismarck attack rashly by any measure.

Of course, there was no regret medicine in the world, and the Germans did not conjure up new aircraft carriers, so Hitler could only pin his hopes on Goering and his air force, and Goering was as conceited as ever, assuring Hitler that the air force alone could win the war.

In order to be able to defeat Britain in one fell swoop, Germany mobilized a total of more than 2,600 aircraft, of which about 1,000 were fighters responsible for escorting the convoy, and the remaining more than 1,000 were bombers.

But this advantage was definitely not enough to help Germany win, and ten were to encircle it, and five to attack it. It is impossible to win by brute force with only a threefold advantage, and in addition to army aircraft, Britain also has naval aviation, and there are four aircraft carriers on the British mainland, and the Radiance and Indomitable are also being repaired at an accelerated pace, and more than 200 carrier-based aircraft will be able to participate in the campaign by then.

These carrier-based aircraft did not need to fight Germany in the airspace, they could have attacked the German coast, harassed the maritime trade routes, or attacked major cities and industrial areas; In addition, the British still have the radar as a big killer, so the difference in strength between the two countries is not very large, and fortunately, Qiao Yu did not sell the radar technology to Germany, otherwise it is not yet known who will die in this war.

By July, Germany had completely occupied northern France and established a puppet regime in the small town of Vichy, and France, the former hegemon of the European continent, was completely finished, but a few days before the complete fall, the former Deputy Minister of Defense Charles de Gaulle had fled to London, and he began to form Free France and set up a government in exile.

Now Britain has become a paradise for government-in-exile, Poland, the Netherlands, Norway, Belgium and other fallen countries have run to Britain to huddle together for warmth, these government-in-exile is at most just a chess piece, Qiao Yu has secretly made up his mind, even if it becomes the United Nations Security Council in the future, France is a country that does not enter the flow of the United Nations Council and will definitely not be able to get permanent membership status.

After Germany had settled the entire Western European continent, it began to attack British merchant ships to test the British air force's defensive capabilities, and this tentative attack continued until August, when Germany's time was running out, and the air force was all assembled at this time, and their large-scale offensive began.

And just three days ago, China's four aircraft carriers lasted nearly two months and finally crossed the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean, to the United Kingdom, three of these four aircraft carriers are old aircraft carrier modifications, but this does not hinder their anti-submarine warfare capabilities, in fact, in the Mediterranean, Chinese aircraft carriers have found German submarines several times.

Now the Mediterranean Sea is like a footbath, on one side of the German and Italian navy and air force, on the other side of the British armed forces, the two sides come and go, the confrontation is very fierce, especially Italy has opened up the North African battlefield, they target the Suez Canal.

German submarines also frequently haunted the Mediterranean, constant hunting, British merchant ships were frequently sunk, and after the four Chinese aircraft carriers entered the Mediterranean, they naturally also received the attention of Germany, which absolutely did not want this huge fleet to fall into the hands of the British.

Therefore, the Germans sent a large number of submarines and wanted to use wolf pack tactics to deal with China, but the Germans obviously ignored that they were a team with an axe, and the wolf pack tactics were handed over to Germany by China, so China must have corresponding ways to deal with them.

The four aircraft carriers formed two formations, one in front and one behind, and the distance was maintained at a distance of about 30 nautical miles, and the anti-submarine planes searched the sea area without interruption, and other auxiliary warships were also equipped with sonar systems to detect nearby submarines.

No diamond did not dare to do porcelain work, there was no complete certainty, the Chinese Navy did not dare to run to Europe such a place of right and wrong, just after entering the Mediterranean, China detected a submarine not far away, and four carrier-based aircraft quickly rushed over.

A string of depth charges were dropped on the butt of the German submarine, and the German submarine was damaged on the spot, the power plant was damaged, and it could only disappear into the sea without a sound.

After this battle, the German submarines finally knew that they had encountered a strong enemy, and became extremely cautious, the Mediterranean Sea is relatively narrow, which is not conducive to the large-scale deployment of submarines, so Germany is ready to surprise the Chinese fleet in the Atlantic.

The Chinese fleet entered the Atlantic Ocean without danger, and Britain also sent an aircraft carrier formation to protect it, and just before the two sides met, a Chinese destroyer discovered the periscope of the German submarine again, and then the destroyer quickly rushed over, and two anti-submarine planes also rushed over, hitting the German submarine with anti-submarine torpedoes.

There was a violent explosion under the water, a large amount of oil pollution poured into the sea, another German submarine was destroyed by China, the British Royal Navy also arrived at this time, their eyes were straight, and as soon as the Chinese walked by, they easily destroyed two German submarines, which is simply incredible.

The British also completely put away the arrogance of the old naval power, and were polite to the Chinese navy, and the posture was put to the minimum, and after the fleet arrived at the British port of Portsmouth, Prime Minister Churchill actually drove in person.

As the leader of a wartime country, it is conceivable that the work is busy, but Lao Qiu also knows that no matter how busy he is, he must also be greeted in person, the Chinese have a good face, they now have to ask for others, and the Chinese army has shown their strong combat effectiveness.

"Friends from afar, your internationalist spirit is heartfelt to me and the British people, and we are facing an unprecedented and vicious regime that is wantonly destroying civilization ......"

Churchill gave an enthusiastic speech, and then provided the best accommodation for the Chinese soldiers, and there were even many hot blonde beauties, like butterflies, fluttering back and forth in front of the Chinese soldiers, full of seduction, making these young men who had never seen such a scene blush and heartbeat for a while.

The person in charge of the Chinese side who came this time was Bai Chongxi, who was a special military adviser, and the rest of the soldiers were nominally retired from active duty, they were just volunteers, but Bai Chongxi was still very strict with everyone.

"Brothers, respect is earned by ourselves, the British are now facing the bombardment of Germany, our task is to help Britain fight, keep the British Isles, we will never allow Germany to destroy here, everyone will rest for five days, and then all participate in the battle to defend Britain!"

At this time, the total number of pilots in Britain was only 1,500, while the Chinese pilots who came to Europe had exceeded 100, most of whom had flown fighter planes, and the Chinese fleet was accompanied by planes and a full set of air crews, which was enough to fight in a single army.

Now that the British pilots were exhausted, Churchill was also anxious, and Lao Qiu was overjoyed to hear that China, a new force, could quickly enter the war.

Five days later, the first Chinese pilots took off from the runway in the Phoenix, and the Warhawks from the East were finally going to compete with the Nazi air force! (To be continued.) )
