Chapter 1980 The Eagle Over London Six

"Really? The bombing hasn't started yet?" Hearing this news, Marshal Haig became more nervous than relaxed. "No! This is absolutely wrong! The Germans are clearly capable of bombing! Why did they just engage in air combat with us instead of bombing? It doesn't make sense!"

"What do you mean?" Prime Minister Asquith looked at the flustered Marshal and became a little nervous. In his eyes, Marshal Haig was a man with a firm will and strong self-control. It is obviously unusual for him to have such a situation!

"I have the feeling it's a trap! A trap to further deplete the RAF! They attacked the area we had to protect. The Germans came, but they didn't carry bombs. So what did they put on their bombers? Only A large amount of ammunition and steel plates! These bombers are a decoy! Lure our fighter units to keep rushing up, and then smashed into their heads under the solid defense and the firepower like a volcanic eruption!" Marshal Haig said excitedly.

"This..." Although Asquith didn't know much about military affairs, he was aware of the seriousness of this problem. After a series of fierce air battles, the British Air Force was no longer as good as before. And now, if the air force really collapses, then the sky of the empire will really be defenseless!

"Should we notify Marshal Trenchard?" Lloyd George asked.

"It's useless, it's too late, the interceptor planes from the French mainland are about to arrive on the battlefield. Even if the order is given, it's too late, and the most critical issue is that we can't let the Germans treat London as their back garden , even if we are defeated, we must tell all the citizens of London that we are persistently resisting!" There was a sense of determination in Marshal Haig's words.

"So it seems we'll just have to wait for the outcome now?" Prime Minister Asquith asked.

"Let the ground air defense force and fire brigade get ready, and then wait for the results from the air." Marshal Haig sighed and looked towards the sky where the fierce battle was taking place in the distance.

Marshal Haig was right. At this time, after more than an hour's flight, the Western Front Air Force from France had already flown over London. When hundreds of British planes appeared in the sky, London's The citizens cheered. At this moment, these planes became angels and saviors in their eyes!

It has to be said that Trenchard is very capable of being the supreme commander of the Royal Air Force, even under very unfavorable circumstances. He and his subordinates have also done their best, which is not only reflected in tactics, but also in responding to political pressure. In fact, if a plane flying from Dunkirk flies at a higher speed, it can reach the battlefield in up to 45 minutes, after all, the distance between the two is very close. If it is a person who does not understand military affairs or succumbs to political pressure. The easiest and least blamed way is for each fleet to take off by itself and then A passes. The result of this is that the commander will not be blamed. After all, he can find that the situation is critical and quickly evade everything. But the entire aviation team was killed miserably! Because this directly caused the British reinforcements to become a refueling tactic! It's just a gift!

However, this time, over the Strait of Dover, the British Air Force set up a rendezvous point. All fighters and interceptors went to the rendezvous point first, and then everyone went up in a group A. I have to say that the quality of the Western Front Air Force is still better than The local area is much higher. After some radio communication, shouting, signal lights, gestures and other methods, the clustered fleet finally reached a reasonable battle plan. At this time, the German bait fleet finally ushered in the biggest challenge!

"They are coming!" Major General Veron, who was in command of the decoy fleet, saw the British fleet entering from the southeast,

A huge fleet of at least 200 planes stretched their huge bodies in the air. Right in front, 6 fighter squadrons were deployed, ready to tear apart the shield composed of German fighter jets. At the same time, at high altitude, there were 4 fighter jet groups serving as alert and reserve Team. Behind the huge arc formation of fighter jets, at least 8 interceptor squadrons formed 3 attack waves. And where the Germans can't see, there are at least 8 squadrons of fighter jets and interceptors rushing to the battlefield! This time, the British also have experience, as long as they do it, it will be a continuous attack! Until the opponent collapses or dies in battle!

"Our condition is not very good." Said the chief of staff on the same plane.

"Yeah, even though the guys before were all weak chickens, we still suffered a certain loss from hundreds of weak chickens and the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground. We may be more passive in this wave, but it doesn't matter, just look at the time , the British fleet has arrived, and our main force is coming soon!" Major General Veron looked at the pocket watch in his hand and sneered!

Like a group of wolves preparing to hunt, the British set up their positions and formed a formation, and then decisively A'ed down! Six fighter squadrons rushed towards the German escort fighter group like a sharp sword, and a fierce air battle broke out between the two sides. In the entire battlefield, all the planes were like insects criss-crossing in a spider's web, and were accidentally killed on the spot.

In the case that the number and status are not dominant, a huge gap has been cut in the fighter jet cordon around the bomber fleet. Even at this time, there are still sporadic fighter jets blocking the way of the British interceptors. It was said that there was no big threat, and immediately, the interceptors of the entire 8 squadrons rushed straight towards the German bomber group like an angry bull!

In this wave, the British attack was very methodical. The interceptors of the three squadrons hit by the first wave were not on the same plane. The two squadrons attacked a bomber squadron on the side of the box formation at the same time, while the other squadron Then enter from a low altitude and attack a squadron below the box formation! And this kind of multi-angle attack obviously dispersed the self-defense firepower of the bombers. At this moment, the German bomber fleet finally felt tremendous pressure!

"For the British Empire!" Facing the porcupine-like bombers, the British pilots used every imaginable method to suppress the fear in their hearts. Following the experienced pilot aircraft, the British interceptors formed a dense formation and rushed towards the German guns!
