Chapter 1982: The Greatest Crisis II
But at this time, another plane approached from the lower part of K8! The two machine guns on the belly struggled to track the fast-moving target, and the two fire snakes bit the front of the DH11 aircraft, leaving two deep scars on the nose. However, this British interceptor still found a chance! A clean burst at a distance of 200 meters successfully destroyed an engine, and at the same time left a huge gap nearly 1 meter long on the wing!
The K8 bomber, which had lost power on one side, became staggering, the plane was shaking constantly in the air, and the flames after being shot began to spread in all directions. The plane began to lower its altitude gradually and broke away from the formation, and the last two DH11 fighter jets successfully bit the tail of this twilight dragon! After five minutes of chasing and attacking, the two planes finally shot down the K8 completely, and then watched the bomber crash into a block in London.
The British interceptors kept hitting the sides of the German bombers like siege cones. When the escort fighters could not provide sufficient cover, the British interceptors from 8 squadrons took turns to attack the bombers. Damage, within half an hour, at least 22 bombers of various types were destroyed, and more than a dozen aircraft were damaged to varying degrees. After this round of attacks, the originally neat box formation was abruptly destroyed. Bit off a chunk of it.
The British also paid an extremely heavy price in this collision. At least 40 DH11 interceptors were shot down by fighters or bombers, and almost all the remaining aircraft were injured! After the first round of attack, the two sides were like two opponents fighting each other to the death in the boxing ring. They had exhausted their energy. They needed to take a rest before launching the next attack!
The fighter group that ended the fighting also dispersed, and the two sides used the precious time to regroup and reoccupy their positions, while the injured planes fled the battlefield. The decoy fleet has lost at least 60 fighters and bombers since the beginning of the battle, and the casualties of the British are even more terrible. If the loss of the local defense forces in London is calculated, in just over 2 hours, the British People have lost over 150 of various aircraft! And most of the crew who lost the plane did not survive! The loss of pilots is more worrying than the loss of aircraft!
But even so, the British thought they had grasped the situation, and the British fleet that arrived later was already in place. These newly arrived aircraft not only made up for the loss of the previous British fleet, but even slightly increased the overall strength of the British Air Force! At this time, what they are facing is the German bomber fleet that has run out of oil and light. Perhaps the loss of the British air force today is greater than that of the other party. However, in order to maintain the dignity and glory of the British Empire, the British pilots present swear, They want to keep all their opponents as much as possible! Even chasing down to the airspace of the Germans will not hesitate!
After some preparations, the revitalized British Air Force is ready for the final charge! "If we're lucky, we'll be back in an hour at most," said a British interceptor pilot. The British fighter force rushed to the opponent's escort fleet again, and the interceptor force also arranged an offensive formation. The horn of the attack sounded again, and the first wave of interceptors had already rushed over. When the second wave of interceptors was ready When entering the battle, black lines appeared from the sky to stop the attack abruptly!
A few minutes later, a thunder-like sound reached the ears of the British. They watched in horror as the flock of eagles gradually approached in the distance, and an irresistible thought grew from the bottom of their hearts! At the juncture of the life and death of the decoy fleet, the main force of the German fleet finally came to the battlefield, and at the forefront were fighter jets and interceptors from 15 squadrons! Their mission is to clear all British aircraft in the sky!
"Oh, God,
what do i see Is it the death knell of doom? Is it a demon from hell? "Charles will never forget the situation when he encountered the German aircraft fleet over London. The German fighter aircraft group covered the width of a century kilometer in front! Flying over the sky and covering the sky like a wall, the roar of the engine has gradually overwhelmed the guns on the battlefield. The sound of guns. Even the air trembled from the rotation of the propellers!
The high-temperature exhaust gas from thousands of engines condenses in the air, forming white traces, while the German aircraft fleet shuttles through the white clouds. The gray-black bodies and white traces are intertwined, giving people a sense of authenticity. It's also a phantom feeling! The sun that fell in the sky seemed to be blocked by the German fleet. The height of the German fleet was not too high, and a huge figure passed by the ground from time to time! At this moment, not only the British in the air were shocked, even the whole city of London trembled under the wings of the German Empire! No one could have imagined that in London, the center of the empire, an air fleet composed of nearly a thousand enemy aircraft of various types would be encountered! At this moment, the glorious empire in the hearts of countless British people began to crumble!
The huge German fleet flew over the city of London, and the British on the streets and on the roofs could even clearly see the huge Iron Cross mark on the wings and the bomb hanging under the belly. These huge bombers passed over the neighborhood rather ostentatiously, but did not drop bombs. Their targets were British factories, stations and warehouses. The purpose of war was victory rather than killing innocent people indiscriminately.
The British looked in horror at the most cutting-edge human creations and the most powerful war machines in the sky in this era. They were surprised and terrified. Finally, I don’t know who yelled a note that I didn’t know what it meant, so that the people around me realized that these disasters existed like apocalypse knights, and they came to London to spread death and destruction! People began to scramble and search for places to hide. Basements, subway stations or other hidden and solid corners became places for people to scramble for. For this reason, they even did not hesitate to fight and fight blockers! At this moment, they are indistinguishable from frightened beasts!
If ordinary citizens in London are just relying on instinct or a little cleverness to avoid disasters, then the British government has prepared much better for high-ranking officials. For example, right now, a group of guards are protecting Prime Minister Asquith, General Haig, and others to immediately move to the air-raid shelter. This was originally to defend against airship bombing, and it has been idle for at least a year and a half, but this time, it is finally deployed. Useful!
