"Don't look like it's on the sea, keep your eyes on the pilot fighter in front of you! The strait is only a few dozen miles away, and you'll be there in the blink of an eye! Hold on, it only takes a few minutes, it's not difficult!" Some leading pilots kept reminding their teammates, just like Colonel Werner von Brouster reminded them at that time.
A Bf-109 suddenly trembled. Time did not give the pilot a chance to make a mistake. At an altitude of only about thirty meters above the sea, the moment when the plane crashed and everyone died was only a blink of an eye. Looking at that A Bf-109 fighter jet plunged into the sea. Many pilots could not help but break out in cold sweat. No one was willing to choose this way of death, and these so-called proud men were even more unwilling. If they want to live well, they must try their best to control the fighter jets and not follow the footsteps of those unfortunate people.
Within a quarter of an hour, nearly 500 aircraft from four groups took off from various airports in northern France, including two Bf-109 fighter groups and two Stuka dive bombers. Now their condition is very dangerous. From Generals Goering and Kesselring in Berlin to Major General Jedinek, Chief of the Air Force Chief of Staff in France, everyone was in a cold sweat about this battle. Although Lin Wei swore in front of Göring that a low-altitude breakthrough could definitely tear apart the British radar network, there is indeed no precedent for this kind of operation. Of course, if the Luftwaffe succeeds, they will also be the first force to break through the British. Likewise It's making history.
If Admiral Hugh Dowding, commander of the British Fighter Command, had made an effort at this time and even sent a plane to the sky, the Luftwaffe's raid would have been in vain. Unfortunately, Admiral Hugh Dowding did not do so. The Royal Air Force's battle with the Luftwaffe, which far surpassed its own, made all pilots very tired. The condition of these pilots getting off the plane was even worse than that of the Luftwaffe pilots when they first got off the plane. It simply can't bear even one air battle. Therefore, General Hugh Dowding did not send out planes for inspection as usual. On the other hand, General Hugh Dowding was also very confident in the British Air Force's radar station. After all, the British Air Force was the first country to put radar into actual combat.
Admiral Hugh Dowding was not wrong to think so. In fact, almost everyone who understood the important role of radar thought so. It's just that they forgot that no weapon in this world is perfect, but people haven't figured out a way to crack it yet. Unfortunately, at this time, Britain's enemy country, Germany, had a person who knew radar very well. defect.
Whether it was mental calculations or not, God was not on the side of the British this time. Both Churchill and General Hugh Dowding believed that Britain was now safe. After such a long period of combat, the German Air Force needed to take a rest. Moreover, the radar unit did not receive news of a large-scale attack by the Luftwaffe. Of course they didn't expect that the radar unit had been eluded by the Luftwaffe.
The tragic air battle left the entire UK devastated. Many buildings had collapsed, and the whole city was in ruins. People walked numbly on the streets, watching corpses being carried away in front of them without any reaction. Yes, such a long period of fighting has made people numb. They don't know why the war is going on, but they know that the war must go on, and they will become a part of the war.
On the coastline, the National Guard militiamen are nervously patrolling their coastline. They are Britain's last line of defense. Although their observations are usually of little use, everyone here is still doing this boring job. And boring work, because they know that only by protecting their country can their relatives survive.
"Father, please take a rest. I will help you watch here. Once the damn Luftwaffe attacks, I will notify people immediately! We will not let the Germans come and go freely in our homeland!" A young man The British young man tried hard to persuade his father.
"I can still hold it. You go back first and tell your mother to prepare a meal for you to send over!" The old man in his fifties, who seemed to have never left the south, said to his child. .
The young man looked helplessly at his father. Ever since the Luftwaffe began bombing Britain in the morning, his father and other members of the National Guard had been called here. Their mission was to observe the actions of the Luftwaffe with their own eyes. But the young people didn't take this approach seriously. How could the human eye keep up with such a fast plane? Moreover, there was no way to judge where these Luftwaffe planes were flying.
Just as the young man was thinking hard about how to persuade his father and himself to go home, the corner of his eyes glanced at France on the opposite side, and then he was stunned. There was a huge wave on the sea. He didn't know what it was. The reason caused ripples on the usually calm sea surface, and it seemed that there was something else on the sea surface. It was so dark that it was hard to see what it was.
The young man pointed at the sea and was speechless. The old man looked at it doubtfully and asked, "Ward, what did you see?" After all, the young man's eyesight is much better than that of the old man. The old man did not hesitate at the critical moment. He chose to believe in his son.
"No, it's nothing..." The young man named Ward was about to explain that he was making a fuss, but was immediately stunned, because this time he really saw clearly what those things sticking to the sea were, which he could often see during this time. Luftwaffe fighter aircraft. Although I don’t know why these planes fly close to sleep, there is no time to waste at this time, Ward shouted. : "Air raid, the German Air Force is coming, they are flying close to the sea!"
"What?" The surrounding National Guard militiamen on the coast were immediately in an uproar, and they all carefully looked at the increasingly obvious formation of German aircraft in the south. "Report immediately, the German Air Force is coming again!" Someone immediately shouted.
When he knew exactly what he saw was the German aircraft formation, Ward was at a loss like a wooden man. He didn't know what he should do now, or Ward's father grabbed his son and disappeared. seaside.
"The British seem to have discovered us!" The actions of the British National Guard on the seaside certainly did not escape the eyes of these German pilots. You must know that the first condition for selecting pilots is that their eyesight is not good enough.
"Really? It's a pity it's too late!" Another voice replied. Indeed, so far, the German Air Force coming across the sea has not discovered the patrolling British fighter jets. It is obvious that the British pilots, who are not many in the first place, have already They complained endlessly about being tortured by the fierce fighting in the morning, and their commander, General Hugh Dowding, did not order the air force to dispatch.
This was a God-given opportunity. It seemed that at the same time, the captain of the Bf-109 fighter group who was leading the battle accurately sensed the opportunity. shouted through the radio, "It seems that our method is very successful. Boys, go ahead and wipe out the Royal Air Force that has been resisting. This is the only thing we, as opponents, can do!"
"We are divided into two groups. I will destroy the unprepared British Air Force. You kill the British radar station according to the established plan!" The captain contacted the captains of other groups not far away through the radio and finalized the attack plan in an instant. Others did not object to this, because behind them, there were now a dozen groups and nearly two thousand fighters following them, and there was no problem of insufficient attack at all.
"No problem!" came the response with a voice of approval.
In just a few words, the German fighter wing that took off first had arrived on the British coast. At this time, there was no need to stay at low altitude. The captain who had just finalized the combat plan was in a good mood and left at a high altitude. At low altitude, he shouted, "Let's kill the British Air Force!" His actions caused a chain reaction. The planes of the four groups pulled up together and broke away from the low-altitude cruising state.
Didi, beep, beep..., almost at the same time, all the radars in southern England suddenly showed the signals of a large number of enemy aircraft, at least 500 in number. Everyone was at a loss and didn't know where the problem was. Inside each radar station Everyone thought something was going on, and some people started to overhaul the radar, because they didn't believe that so many enemy planes could escape the radar's eyes, it must be that the radar was broken. Because they couldn't believe that the radar that had been protecting the British mainland could not see the actions of the Luftwaffe.
They immediately knew whether the radar was broken, because according to the radar display, more than two hundred aircraft had already approached them. At this time, the people at the radar station woke up from a dream and immediately reported the news of the German Air Force's attack. As reported above, it was too late. The Luftwaffe did not give them any time this time. The two radar stations closest to the coastline were immediately destroyed. In other radar stations that the Luftwaffe had not had time to bomb, everyone I saw a shocking scene. Luftwaffe aircraft appeared in large numbers where they had entered the British border. The number had exceeded a thousand, and they were still increasing.
"Oh, God, have you abandoned Britain?" The staff of a radar station shouted in despair. Although others were not so rude, they all looked ashen.
