Chapter 1972: The Eagle Over London One

"How do we choose the attack method? If we pursue precision, we can use low-altitude shallow dive bombing, but this is more dangerous and takes longer. After a large fleet enters the attack area, we need to bomb in batches. If it is for safety, we can also The horizontal bombing is carried out at a height of about 3000 meters. In this way, the threat of the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery will be very small, and we directly adopt a carpet-type probability attack. The fleet can prepare to return as long as it flies over the target area. According to our calculations, if the weather If we cooperate, we can even prepare to withdraw from the battlefield before most of the British planes have reacted." Lieutenant General Halder said.

"Treat it differently. For a type of target that needs to be focused on, you can try shallow dive bombing. For general targets, just bomb a wave and leave. We are more about deterrence and containment this time. Also, different fleets choose different bombs." Let’s enter the battlefield, there is no need to concentrate first and then fly to the target, we will make the British’s security system confused.” Ruprecht thought for a while and said.

Subsequently, Ruprecht and Hal's generals finally coordinated the steps of the bombing plan, and finalized the final plan after checking and filling in the details. The air raid will be prepared for two days. Prime Minister Quess launched it when he was about to discuss the situation with Marshal Haig. Of course, it was a coincidence. The prince didn't know that Marshal Haig had returned to London.

Three days later, at four o'clock in the morning, in a radio monitoring station in east London, a British radio monitoring officer took off the earphones on his head after recording a set of information, hesitated for a moment, left his job and came to the station Long desk.

"Your Excellency, Station Master, just half an hour ago, I have monitored at least seven radio communications of the same method. They are very short, and the content is a bit strange." The young listener said carefully.

"Tell me, young man, what did you hear?" the station master on night shift said leisurely.

"London's sky is very clear," said the young man, after a moment's hesitation.

"You mean, the Germans actually sent at least 7 such telegrams within half an hour?" the station master said with some surprise.

"That's right. And many of them are large radio transmission stations that we have located before." The listener said and came to the map on the wall, and marked several places on the Belgian coast with a pencil in his hand.

"So, you mean, are the Germans going to make a big move? It shouldn't be. If they make a big move, they will definitely use a new radio code, and their weird way of encoding devil characters is fundamental to us. It can’t be deciphered.” The station master said with his hand on his chin. "Well, no matter what, let's aggregate the information first, that's all we can do."

"The signal has been sent?" Ruprecht said to Lieutenant General Halder in the German General Command in Brussels.

"Yes, 9 large ground radio communication stations, repeating the message, the British on the opposite side will definitely receive it, half an hour later, our first batch of planes will enter the British airspace, it is at night, they can't catch it Our specific location, but the earphones along the way can give early warning. Then, our first batch of bombers will arrive in the sky above London at around 6 o'clock in the morning. Before dawn, we will launch the first wave of paper bombing, sending British Please remind me." General Halder said with a smile.

"If the quality of the British is not bad, they will take off fighter jets. At this time, the visibility will increase a lot. The second wave of bombers we use as bait will be spotted by the British, and then the British fighter jets will fly to the target from all directions. The area is intercepted,

At this time, we presuppose that the battlefield should be on the edge of London, and we can concentrate the superior fighter force to wait for work! As the fighting continued, the skies over London were filled with our field. I'd love to know what the Brits were thinking when they saw their planes being wiped out like sparrows. "

"When we have severely damaged or cleared the British fighter force in the air, the main bomber force will launch a large-scale air strike. It is estimated that no one can stop us except for a small number of fighter jets and anti-aircraft artillery on the ground. Our bomber battle damage will be very large. Low. If the British are still holding the leaflets we dropped earlier, then they should stay in the house obediently and avoid the areas we are about to bomb! Your Highness, you are so merciful." General Halder Said meaningfully.

"Killing people is one of the means of war, but it has never been the end. To be honest, with our current aviation power, it is impossible to launch a devastating blow to the capital of an empire, but if it works properly, let the British people know they The sky is not safe, and if we come and go whenever we want, and we can gradually immerse them in fear like blunt knives, then our deterrent effect will be very great. Of course, all of this requires enough Power is a footnote. So, this time I finally decided to send 700 bombers of various types to carry out the mission, and this first strike must be very powerful!" said Crown Prince Ruprecht.

If you have to use simple words to describe this attack, then it can be simplified as the process of ridicule-ambush-bombing. The first wave to enter London were bombers without bombs, and their mission was to drop tons of leaflets over the entire London area...  This is a means of deterring the British people, and it is also a way of forcing the British aviation force to attack when it is caught off guard. Under such circumstances, regardless of whether the British military believes that the German bombers will bomb London in the future, the surrounding British fighter jets must be dispatched, at least to drive away these German fleets that dare to walk over the imperial capital.

Then, as the script goes, they will find that a limited bomber fleet has entered London, a fleet of the right size to convince the British that this is the main bomber fleet, and at the same time make the British feel that they should eat well. Down! Under the pressure of public opinion, the British commander is very likely to choose to put all his eggs in one basket. The reason is very simple. The citizens of London know that the German bombers are coming. It is impossible for the public to tolerate the German bombers wantonly dropping bombs over London. The sheer face and the challenge to the dignity of the British Empire forced the British military to go all out!
