Battle of the Third Reich

The Headquarters estimates that no matter how dull London is, it should now be aware of the fact that the Germans have landed. The German armored forces reported that they have encountered at least four or five groups of British troops on the periphery. The captives who have been alive have almost made up a division. If the group of guys hiding in the London burrow are still in the dark, then the Germans can only bite their teeth and recognize the plant. When encountering an enemy with such a large nerve, the headquarters should start to reflect on why they did not give each soldier. Send a bathtub and two soup spoons across the other side, and may have occupied Buckingham and burned the Big Ben.

The German headquarters is now in full operation. The marshals and generals of the navy, air and military forces and Xu Jun drilled together in the command room for 24 hours, and a bunch of old smoky guns are in the command room except for going to the toilet. Here, Goebbels clenched his teeth for two hours and had to turn into the garden outside, pretending to accompany a group of base civilians and the party sticks of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs braggingly, thanks to Manstein and Goodry Ann went to the front line, otherwise he would be killed in this command room, and the smoke leaking from the slit of the light door had already stunned three or four guards alive.

This group of ambitious war criminals believe that this time they will be able to elicit the British bomber forces that have been shrinking at the northern base of the British mainland. These aircraft are Churchill's last cards. Although these are just delicious meals in front of the German fighters, there are more ants. Still able to kill the elephants, the headquarters has been very worried that the British would desperately launch a large-scale bombing to form a large cluster of hundreds or even hundreds of aircraft, and attack the German beachhead at all costs.

Kesseling screamed that German fighters could fight ten each while patting his chest. But even Goebbels didn't believe his gossip. The German fighter still needs to take off from the French base. The pilot's burden is very heavy. The early high-intensity combat has caused some front-line squadron pilots to have battlefield fatigue stress. Finally, the number of German reserve pilots is huge, and there are enough personnel to replace them. The pilots who had problems were forced to sleep with drugs and forced grounding vacations, so that those valuable tips survived the most dangerous stage.

The headquarter estimates that if the British bombers take a continuous wave attack, the German fighter fleet will be able to intercept up to 70% of the aircraft, which is to say, given its large base. At least 30% of the bombers can break through and reach the beachhead, enough to cause serious damage to the German artificial port.

Unless wait until the Luftwaffe squadron is stationed at the forward base. As a regional air defense reserve, maintaining 24 hours at any time, and the cooperation of the French base fighters can guarantee the absolute safety of the beachhead position.

Eventually because of a series of yin and yang. The most dangerous daytime was so inexplicably fooled, but the night does not represent safety. The British Air Force bomber unit has very sufficient night bombing experience. Although they have destroyed their radar stations, they still retain some of the radio. The navigation base station can induce the bomber to reach the target to drop bombs in the dark night. Although the error is quite large, the quantity can make up for the defects.

In the early stages of air combat, the British bomber forces were beaten. However, because the original foundation was too thick, the British retained at least more than six hundred bombers.

The Luftwaffe estimates that at least one-third of these bombers can be taken out for night bombing, some of which are old Hampton light bombers. This ugly bomber nicknamed the flying racket has a very long range and can fly 1,900 kilometers with a ton and a half of bombs. Historically, this cargo and Whitley continuously attacked Berlin, and he was swollen. Face, so he was given a Jewish nickname.

But the self-defense firepower of this aircraft is quite weak. The fuselage structure is also very fragile. Once encountering a German fighter, it is a target for random attack. More early in the design era, the cabin space was very narrow, so that once the aircraft fell into a state of control, the crew could not climb to the hatch to escape.

In the history, the British first stopped using this aircraft for daytime bombing. It was found that she died even more badly when she encountered a German night fighter. So she was forbidden to participate in the bombing of land, and all of them were changed to torpedo planes to scare German transport ships and torpedo boats. In the end, there was no famous record in the end.

There is also the largest number of the Royal Air Force’s existing bombers, and the most famous Wellington bomber. This double-engined medium bomber aircraft is very distinctive. Her body and wing internal structure use a rural fence wall type. The double spiral twill mesh structure is similar to the bamboo baskets in the Chinese countryside, covered with canvas and aluminum skin, so even if it is hit by a machine gun bullet into a sieve, it is difficult to completely destroy her main structure.

This bomber was once the main force of the British Air Force’s long-range bombing. The Luftwaffe spent all day with her over Europe. She belongs to the patron. The Germans have a lot of experience in dealing with it. Her fuel tank and engine are absolute dead spots. There is no protection, and the self-defense firepower has a considerable dead end, so once encountered, the German pilot can hang her up and beat her with 8864 methods.

Next is the two ugliest bombers in the history of World War II. One is Whitley. It is an ugly to explosive double-engine bomber no matter what era it is placed in. The British Air Force has a cheeky name for her as a heavy night bomber. Of the eight versions, only the last one is equipped with radar. It was the 43-year-old transport model. The previous versions were all equipped with day-time bombing, which was inexplicably classified as a night bomber.

The actual situation is that the British Air Force knew that sending the cargo out during the day was purely death. Since the first night bombing of Germany after serving in the service, she never let her be dispatched during the day. All pilots received night flight bombing training. Because of the need for wartime propaganda, the British government simply boasted that it was a professional night bomber. As for the specific performance, it was already clear that she had been dispatched to paratroopers to tow the glider for more than a year.

There is also a Stirling bomber, which is famous for its poor takeoff and landing quality. Because it is a monoplane, the wing is located close to the middle of the fuselage. As a result, in order to ensure that the stomach does not touch the ground, it can only extend the landing gear desperately. So this bomber became the most prominent of all the aircraft of World War II. The cockpit was seven meters above the ground, and the vision was amazing.

Also when landing, the pilot must also ensure that the landing is in a high-elevation attitude, because this can achieve three-point landing, of course, if you want to land at two points, but the landing gear is too slender, once the runway has In a ditch, the landing gear can't bear the force of landing and it will suddenly break. At this time, you have to pray that there is no bomb in the magazine and there is not much fuel left in the fuel tank.

As he headed into the field, the pilot relied on adjusting the engine throttle to maintain the lift of the aircraft near the critical point of stall, while maintaining the normal course with almost no visible runway, and finally dropped the pile of steel onto the runway. Yes, it was a fall. This thing basically had no lift when it was two meters above the ground, and it was completely ground by gravity.

Driving Stirling to take off is also a nightmare for the Royal Air Force pilot. The pilot must always control the throttle of the four engines. Due to the excessive elevation angle, the aircraft will not feel the tail rudder effect for a long distance when taxiing Yes, plus all four propellers are rotating in the same direction, once the horsepower is slightly larger, the aircraft will suddenly deflect to the right, at this time the pilot is completely unable to control the aircraft, and then encounter the fragile landing gear and the magazine is full Once the bomb and fuel oil slide out of the runway, it will basically be directly cremated.

Generally speaking, driving this bomber is very test the pilot's driving skills and perseverance, can be called a novice butcher. In the end, the British Air Force was really scared. As a result, it set up a driving test specifically for it. Only after passing the test to obtain certification can you drive this thing. This is simply to let the pilot test the license for suicide. But many pilots are unaware of this. They think that driving is an advanced gadget. Only the elite can drive it, and they even go forward and succeed.

Finally, because of the emergence of a series of new bombers, this severely flawed aircraft was naturally eliminated, withdrew from the ranks of bombers, and changed to paratrooper transport aircraft and Whitley to scourge the Red Devil.

The above four bombers are the final cards of the British Bomber Command. There were originally a number of Blenheim, but because of the heavy losses in the early stage, most of them have been disbanded and now there are at most about 30 to 50. A battle of scale can only be counted as a drop in the sea, and there is no such thing as a tooth.

In addition, the German intelligence agency Odin Eye has learned that the British Air Force is equipped with a large-scale bomber, the specific performance parameters have not yet been figured out, but the preliminary appearance drawings and photos have been sent to Xu Jun’s desk.

Xu Jun recognized this new type of bomber at a glance. This is not the predecessor of Lancaster Manchester. This kind of waste wood is not a fear at all. Due to the lack of power, the lift is insufficient, and she may be a bit more violent. I will kill myself, and in a short period of one year of service, the loss reaches more than 60% of the total. Among them, 40% were beaten by the German Air Force, and the remaining 20% ​​were dead. Two heavenly Rolls-Royce liquid-cooled engines are involved.

Looking at the number again, even 20 did not make up enough. In view of respect for this legendary model, Xu Jun ordered the German Air Force to remind the pilot to hit her engine as soon as he met this target, as long as one was destroyed. Despite her, the plane cannot rely on one engine to maintain normal flight, let alone land.

This made the worship of Xu Jun up and down the eyes of Odin suddenly rose to the height of the gods. Even looking at the photos can point out the weakness of the other party. Is this still something humans can do? This is obviously an oracle, oracle, There must be an angel trick behind it, and it must be so. Dare to have doubts and drag it out to burn with blasphemy.
