As a highly industrialized country with limited land depth, Britain was worth bombing by the Luftwaffe and German planes could reach too many places, no matter how hard they tried, they could not ensure that every area was equipped with powerful anti-aircraft firepower that would make the Luftwaffe run into a bloody mess.

Seeing that the losses were getting bigger and bigger, Churchill had no choice but to come up with a way that was not a solution, he ordered to send a team of mosquito bombers with a long range, fast speed and difficult to detect by radar to bomb the German capital Berlin for the first time since the outbreak of the European war, although the actual effect was limited, but as Churchill expected, the mustache was really enraged by this air raid of the nature of a slap in the face, and he immediately ordered Ge Fat to concentrate on bombing London in retaliation for this air surprise attack by the British, In this way, it played into Churchill's hands

It should be noted that although the area of London is not small, it is only a city after all, and it is also a seaport, so it is easy to concentrate a large number of anti-aircraft artillery to obtain overwhelming and powerful anti-aircraft firepower. The air defense operations of the Royal Navy during the previous retreat from Dunkirk have fully proved that with artillery sighting radar and proximity fuses, as long as the local anti-aircraft fire is dense to a certain extent, no matter how many enemy planes come, they can only be killed, unless the enemy flies to a high altitude where anti-aircraft guns cannot reach it, but it is not easy, even if there are bombers who can do it, dropping bombs at such a high place will definitely be tragic. Basically, it is impossible to bomb important areas, and can only fall into the urban area almost randomly, and even deviate from the urban area, whether or not the result can be achieved depends on luck

But in any case, the citizens of London will inevitably suffer huge casualties, after all, even if the German plane is shot down, it may crash into houses and cause fires after falling into residential areas, and pose a great threat to the lives and property of London citizens, and if the Luftwaffe bombs from high altitudes in order to reduce losses, the threat to civilians is likely to be even greater if the bombs are scattered. In fact, Churchill was aware of this when he came up with the plan. But as the head of state and the current leader of the allies. Compared to the destruction of the Luftwaffe and the loss of the ability to continue the war of resistance, the cost of only tens of thousands of London citizens was relatively small, and Churchill did the same in history

Perhaps it is such a tough character. So that Churchill made many mistakes in wartime. It has also been deeply supported by the majority of British citizens. But people will not forget the pain of being abandoned by the government, so he was ousted as soon as the war ended in history. Of course. Strictly speaking, it's not just because of this one reason

Churchill's strategy paid off: after the Luftwaffe concentrated its forces on a massive bombing of London, no fewer than 500 German planes were shot down in just three days, and the British Navy and Army's anti-aircraft fire network of more than 2,000 anti-aircraft guns (including small-caliber anti-aircraft guns) was simply impassable

What Churchill did not expect, however, was that even the crazy mustache could not stand such an astonishing rate of losses, so he decisively suspended the more reckless attack in order to avoid the needless death of too many German pilots, and the result was that the London air defense forces reduced the overall results that could be expected in the future.

In fact, if it is only 500 aircraft, it is not impossible to bear losses compared to the huge number of the Luftwaffe, but in the air over the enemy country, the pilots will not be able to come back after the planes are shot down, and this loss is several times greater than usual, even if Germany is the top air force power, it is a little unbearable for a while, you must know that the number of reserve pilots in Germany is far less sufficient than that of the United States, and even less than that of the Soviet Union, Moreover, the way in which Germany trained pilots made their pilots far more expensive than those of the United States and the Soviet Union

After the reasonable proposal to abandon the attack on London and instead choose a target with weaker air defense to carry out a focused attack was categorically rejected by the mustache who was bent on saving face, the commander of the Luftwaffe, Ge Fatzi, had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, proposing to use high-altitude bombing to reduce the losses of fighters and pilots. However, the Luftwaffe's current two main bomber models are not high in practical ceiling, so it is difficult to fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters beyond the reach of British anti-aircraft guns, in order to complete this task, either use the newly imported twin-engine H-1, or let the FW190 cameo bomber, because the mustache is very urgent, Ge Fat decided to go both ways, after all, the former is not enough, and the latter bomb load is not as good as the genuine bomber

However, the effect of high-altitude bombing was still disappointing, because the clouds blocked the line of sight, coupled with the influence of ground wind, the hit rate of high-altitude bombs was extremely low, unacceptably low, because the economic losses it caused to Britain were not as large as the cost of fuel and ammunition in the bombing campaign, so even if the German planes did not lose at all, Germany would still lose its old capital

However, it is no wonder that even at the end of World War II, when the B29 bombed Japan, the means of high-altitude bombing were abandoned, not to mention that the performance of the bombing computer and supporting sighting device is far inferior to that of the Luftwaffe in 1945? You must know that the accuracy of horizontal bombing during World War II increased several times almost every other year!

However, high-altitude bombing can not be said to be completely without benefits, at least the Luftwaffe's own loss rate has indeed dropped significantly, which makes the mustache's mood a little better, and the staff officers of the Air Force also dare to put forward some new plans, among which the use of the "stealth" characteristics of the H-1 wooden aircraft to carry out low-altitude bombing of London at night The proposal was appreciated by the mustache, and this method of operation also fully showed its incomparable superiority in actual combat, in the three-day Shiyan air raid, Hundreds of twin-engine H-1s dropped more than 1,000 tons of bombs of various kinds on the city of London, but only one was lost in total, and the results were much greater than the previous high-altitude bombing, which undoubtedly encouraged the Luftwaffe.

Due to the good results achieved by the H-1 in bombing London at low altitude at night, Mustache even ordered a special design of a wooden bomber specially designed for night bombing, but in the end, because it could not be of much use, and because the victory of night bombing saved face, Mustache also regained his senses, realizing that the desperate bombing of residential areas would actually be quite limited in its impact on Britain, so the development work was terminated before it officially began (to be continued......
