Chapter 1977 The Eagle Over London Three

At the same time, no matter whether it was Prime Minister Asquith and Marshal Haig in London, or Marshal Trenchard, the commander-in-chief of the British Air Force in Dunkirk, none of them expected that an inadvertent event would cause French aggression. People's vigilance, and then, the storm caused by this unexpected butterfly flapping its wings swept the entire battlefield on the Western Front. Of course, this is a later story, let's not mention it for now!

At this time, the German "decoy" fleet had entered the sky over London. The size of the entire fleet was not large compared to the bomber fleet behind it, and it was "only" more than 80 various bombers and hundreds of fighter jets. But just over 200. However, this is already a very large fleet for the residents of London. They have never seen such a large-scale fleet flying towards downtown London like a black cloud!

"The Germans are really punctual. Is this the so-called box formation? It really looks like a group of bison and hedgehogs gathered together, pointing their horns at the outside." Former biologist, now drafted into the army The pilot George looked at the German fleet in the distance and said.

This is also the first time that British rookie pilots have seen the box formation mentioned in the textbook, with more than 80 bombers arranged in two layers. Like a huge hamburger, the K6 bomber with relatively weak defense is on the ridgeline of the box formation, while the K8 bomber with strong defense is at each inflection point! This is the easiest place to be attacked, so you need to "reinforce" it extra!

A large number of fighter jets surround the bombers, some of which are used to cover the weak points of the box formation, such as the rear and lower part, while the other part are stalkers, who act on the periphery of the cluster like ancient light cavalry, ready to deploy at any time fighting.

For these fledgling rookies, facing the tactics developed after a long-term test on the battlefield, they are afraid, confused and a little excited! Participating in the battle for the first time made them seem to have broken the five-flavored bottle in their hearts, and all kinds of feelings came up together, but the mind seemed to be put at the bottom of the bottle!

"Boy, follow closely, wait until our colleagues come, and then we will rush up! Always pay attention to your rear, according to statistics, the survival probability of pilots who look behind once in half a minute is 30% higher than that of pilots who look behind once a minute later !” At this time, George’s boss, William, a British squadron leader, was yelling at the newcomers next to him.

If William was surrounded by former comrades in arms, he would still formulate some tactics, but now, facing these rookies who have only 40 hours of flight time at most, there are only two things he can do. The first thing is Keep up with yourself, the second thing is to look behind if you have nothing to do, don't die at the end and don't know why you didn't die! "I hope we can meet at dinner after this battle." William said, looking at some incompetent teammates next to him.

Almost all British squadron leaders adopted a similar response to William's. They formed a tight formation with the squadron leader's lead plane as the core. This is not a suitable formation for engagement, because they are not interceptors and have no Enough powerful firepower and armor to charge the bomber, too large formation is also very inconvenient to deal with the sneak attack and flying attack of the fighter, but there is no way, you can't expect a group of rookies to know what to do after leaving the team. Don't look at them as interceptors, but this is really a group of herbivores, and they still have a little brain when they hug each other.

"It seems that the British still have some stocks, but it seems that the quality of the pilots is not good." The Germans are also looking at the British, but unlike the British who are nervous and ready to fight at any time, when the Germans see the British If you respond immediately, you can rest assured, because more than 80% of the opponents are rookies!

This is an era when fighter jets can hardly popularize radios,

Before the attack, there needs to be a very rigorous plan. For example, when everyone will arrive, how to meet up, and the order of attack after the meeting must be clearly stated. And once it enters actual combat, the order of the fighters' containment and the attacking order of the interceptors must be just right. This is like playing LOL in later generations. When you are ready to start a team, you must cooperate well with the control and tactics. The old man can form a tacit understanding in terms of tactical awareness. , It’s like the Internet cafes in LOL open black five consecutive sittings, but if it’s a group of rookies, it’s really a group of elementary school passers-by!

The British on the opposite side are obviously a group of rookies. After the fleet entered the field, all the fleets were scattered, which shows that they did not arrange the order of attack and tasks before the war. And they are all mainly fighter jets. There seems to be no interceptors, just relying on the two 7.7MM machine guns of the fighter jets. Why do you rush into the box formation?

The Germans were keenly aware that the opponent was waiting, at least waiting for the interceptor fleet to appear. There are already quite a few British in the sky, but the composition is very unscientific and the organization is very bad.

"Let's go around the British palace. The safari fighters can also act." At this time, a K8 bomber at the core of the box formation pierced a series of radio waves, and then the huge fleet began to attack. Turned and flew towards Buckingham Palace in a straight line. And a team of fighter jets at an altitude of 4,000 meters also broke away from the formation and rushed towards one of the team of British fighter jets!

"Fuck, the Germans are rushing to the palace! Stop them!" When the British finally determined the German route, they couldn't help it anymore, and several squadrons of British fighter jets rushed towards the German bombers at the same time.

"Damn it! This is a bait! I never thought that such a cheap scam would be successful!" William was depressed for a while, and a little disgusted, disgusted by his colleagues... The box formation is the most vulnerable when it is bombing, because it needs each squadron to break the formation and start bombing, otherwise, wouldn't the bombers above bomb the bottom?

As a veteran who has spent more than half a year on the Western Front, William still has a basic assessment of how long and how far such a huge box formation needs to unfold. In his opinion, the German bombing target this time is not at all Possibly Buckingham Palace, as there is not enough time and distance left for the bombers to deploy.... And at this time, a group of British fighter jets had rushed up... Dude, this is still an unopened box, is it really good to just go straight up? Do you really think that the barbed machine guns on those behemoths are just for fun? William was very pessimistic about the fate of these colleagues.
