Chapter 1979: The Eagle Over London Five
(page 1/1)
"Damn it, another one has come down! Is our aviation team all weak?" A British man standing on the roof informed the people below about the situation on the battlefield. This was the eighth British plane he had witnessed crashed. Fighter again. The ones that were directly smashed in the air are not counted, because they can't see clearly, the British "war reporter" regarded them as German planes!
"Go and see our children." A small group of people began to move towards the direction of the crashed plane, while more people were still watching the fleet in the sky.
The German fleet is like a harvester moving in the air, constantly cleaning the British fighter jets. At this moment, they are the invincible air fleet, constantly sweeping the sky with fierce firepower. So far, the British fighter jets have caused Losses were very limited until the German fleet entered the airspace of Buckingham Palace! Only then was a more threatening attack!
At this time, around Buckingham Palace, anti-aircraft guns of various calibers took off their gun covers, and the thick and long guns were aimed at the air. Groups of soldiers were busy binding the fuzes of the shells, and then loaded the heavy shells. ! A few minutes later, a series of orange fireballs flew into the air, gunpowder smoke filled the city, and a dense fire net lay in front of the German bombers! Flowers of death bloomed among the clouds, and countless fragments and the impact of the explosion kept beating the body of the bomber and the spirit of the pilot.
"Steady the formation, don't disband! Remember, even if you are hit, even at the last second before losing control, you must try to stabilize the formation. This little artillery fire is nothing. When I attacked the British fleet in the Mediterranean The threat we face is greater than this!" The experienced captain said to his subordinates.
"Steady the fleet and climb slowly! Fighter units help suppress the firepower on the ground!" A series of signals were sent to the pilot planes of each squadron along with the radio waves. Decoy bomber units carry no bombs and so cannot effectively attack ground targets. The only way is to increase the altitude to avoid the artillery fire on the ground, and the fighter planes in charge of the cover use machine guns and cannons to suppress. Although it is a bit caught off guard, it is just a little trouble and harmless in general.
Finally, the British saw the first downed K8 bomber, the hapless K8 bomber at the bottom of the box formation. The suddenly protruding British anti-aircraft guns bit the poor bomber fiercely. Two 12-pound shells and at least two 6-pound shells concentrated on this poor guy. The heaviest, the wings spread out more than 30 meters The behemoth crashed into the Buckingham Palace building with its body covered in flames. Maybe a few tons of iron and wood structures are nothing, but the hundreds of kilograms of ammunition carried on this bomber (the aircraft is loaded with excessive bullets and shells) and the lethality of more than 1.2 tons of fuel must be respected!
Buckingham Palace is a four-story square gray building, and this bomber just hit one side of it. With the violent impact, the remaining ammunition and fuel in the plane were detonated, and a huge red ball flew into the air from the impact. The violent explosion instantly swallowed more than three figures of lives, and the fire spread rapidly under the blowing of the morning wind. The flames ignited the carpets, curtains or other flammable items in the palace. Ten minutes later, the burned area covered the entire One-sixth of the building!
"To be honest, we really didn't intend to attack Buckingham Palace... You guys did it yourself." A German bomber pilot touched his nose depressingly as he watched the flames shoot up from Buckingham Palace.
"Fuck, I think we might as well not intercept it!" The British self-propelled artillery unit who had just arrived at the square in front of Buckingham Palace said, looking at the busy firefighters not far away. But soon,
They went into battle, because some of the German fighters began to dive and suppress.
"It's a German plane! Hurry up and fight back! Idiot!" Accompanied by the roar from the sky, more than a dozen German fighter jets roared and flew over the heads of the British, dozens of machine guns roared and sprayed thousands of A bullet was fired, waving on the ground like a death scythe. Some firefighters were caught off guard and were easily harvested like wheat. The anti-aircraft artillery unit that had just arrived on the battlefield was also unlucky. A series of 20MM armor-piercing incendiary bombs hit a truck delivering ammunition.
As a result, the entire square of Buckingham Palace once again experienced a catastrophe. The shock wave generated by the explosion swept the entire square like a whirlwind, engulfed in shrapnel and flames. One after another explosions continued to pass through the square, crowds of people were directly swallowed by flames and shock waves, precious trucks and anti-aircraft guns were blasted into balls of twisted metal. The casualties of hundreds of people made the whole square full of blood. After the gunpowder smoke cleared, only ruins and dark red bloodstains remained.
"I thought that when I returned to London, I would have stayed away from the flames of war. It seems that I was wrong. I don't know if I was too naive, or this time the empire really failed." In a conference room, Marshal Haig said as he watched the flames and gunpowder smoke rising from the sky above Buckingham Palace in the distance.
"The British Empire is facing the most serious crisis in hundreds of years. General Haig, to be honest, I am very disappointed with the current military situation." Asquith said impatiently.
"We have tried our best, Your Excellency, if you are dissatisfied with me, you can remove me from office, or even send me to a military court. As a soldier, I can't find a reason to continue the war. We in France The army and the air force have been suppressed, and if the Germans put all the pressure on our side. The consequences will be disastrous."
At this moment, Marshal Haig is really a sign of collapse. The long-term stress and anxiety weighed on his heart like a mountain. At this moment, his emotions were about to explode, and none of the people present had an intuitive feeling for the strength of the German military power. In the eyes of Asquith and others, the losses on the battlefield are nothing more than numbers, but in the eyes of Marshal Haig, these are living people and piles of supplies and equipment!
"Your Excellency, you are under a lot of pressure. Maybe the problem is not as serious as we thought. The Germans are most likely just bluffing. You see, the Germans don't seem to have launched a large-scale bombing. Their planes are already in London. It has been hovering over the sky for nearly an hour." Lloyd George comforted.
