'Buzzing...'

At 01:30 in the morning, when the British had already fallen asleep, there was a dull sound of engines in the air. The Luftwaffe came and bombed at night.

This kind of thing has not happened many times before, and the British have long had experience in dealing with this kind of situation. Although there are not many night fighters, there are not many German night escort fighters.

But this time, the British were doomed to disappointment. The Germans introduced the Imperial Chinese Hellcat, a radar-equipped fighter that could be modified for night combat or as an all-weather fighter.

At this time, under the bomber, at a height of less than 200 meters from the ground, there is a larger group of aircraft flying quietly. This is the escort fighter.

Prior to this, the Germans had not used Hellcat fighters at night. Even if they were used, they were mostly used in small quantities. There were only a few of them. At night, no one would know.

Suddenly, the searchlights on the ground were brightly lit, and dozens of strong lights continuously shone in the sky, brightly illuminating the entire sky.

The bombers at high altitudes and the fighter jets at low altitudes were all seen and remembered by the British. However, the British radars did not detect the escort fighters, they only saw the bombers.

"Two o'clock on the left, about ten miles away, there are about twenty enemy planes, a squadron, you go and deal with them, and the battle is quick."

"Nine o'clock on the right side, about eight miles. There are about thirty fighters, No. [-] Squadron. You go and deal with them."

"Twelve o'clock direction, about ten miles. There are about sixty fighters, three squadrons, four squadrons, five squadrons, and six squadrons. Go and deal with them, and the remaining fighters will continue to escort and prepare for battle."

Soon, the commander of the German escort formation detected the position of the enemy plane through the airborne radar, and directly began to deploy the combat plan.

The airborne radars for the Germans were passive, so their detection range was limited, however in Germany.Radar technology is not very advanced at present, although they have worked hard to improve it, but the effect is still not great.

So far, it can only detect a range of about 32 miles (about [-] kilometers). According to previous experience, these British fighter planes have not been found before because they have just taken off and the altitude is too low , the radar has not yet detected.

And when they form a formation.The altitude is almost pulled up, and only then can the radar scan them. Although this is very speechless, it is compared with the previous fighters.Their technology is still advanced enough.

At least in front of the British, they have an absolute advantage, not like in front of the J-[-].There is no ability to fight back at all, whether it is firepower or speed.Or the ability to detect the enemy.

The British side is also suffering and cannot tell now. At this time, they are still equipped with old-fashioned fighters.For those fire-breathing and hurricanes, the communication system will always be flawed. Many fighters cannot communicate with the ground and friendly aircraft, so once they leave the ground, apart from being able to see it with their own eyes, it is impossible to learn more information from the ground. .

In a certain air force radar base in the UK, the radar personnel who were already drowsy suddenly saw a group of aircraft on the radar screen. In a hurry, they began to deploy fighters from various surrounding airports in a panic.

However, the British radar can only show the bomber formation, and they cannot see the fighters in the escort formation. One is because the escort fighters fly at ultra-low altitudes and can avoid radar detection. The other is that they are hiding under the bomber formation. , this is shown overlapping on the radar, and it is not easy to find if the British radar personnel do not pay enough attention.

"Oh, my God, look quickly, hundreds of fighters suddenly came out of which bombers, and went directly in the direction of our fighter formation."

A British radar officer looked at the radar screen in surprise, covered his mouth and said loudly.

And this shout caused other people to look sideways. However, in the next scene, everyone was shocked. They couldn't figure out how these planes came out?

Flying at ultra-low altitude is very dangerous. Under normal circumstances, you would not choose to do this, especially at night. Flying at ultra-low altitude is basically equivalent to suicide, because in the dark night, no one can see clearly what is in front of them. thing.

So when flying at night, everyone tries to increase the height of the fighter plane as much as possible to avoid hitting the mountain in front, or trees or something.

Although the British know that flying at low altitude can avoid radar detection, this is only in the UK. The German air defense radar technology is not developed, so it is naturally impossible for them to know this secret.

Similarly, the Germans don't even know radar technology, and they may not dare to fly at ultra-low altitude for a long time. Fly low, especially at night.

"****, it must be flying at a super low altitude, or hiding under the bomber formation, so we can only see the shadow of the bomber, but not the escort formation below him, damn the Germans, where did they come from? How many night fighters? Hurry up and notify the airport and let them send reinforcements to support them."

A British police officer roared angrily, and immediately ordered loudly.

"Sir, their speed is too fast, and there are no more night fighters at the airport, so we can't send more fighters."

The staff officer glanced at the radar screen and said with some disappointment.

There are not many night fighters. The British have a total of more than 200 night fighters, and their performance is not very good. The Hurricane and Spitfire cannot take off for the time being, because they can only be beaten passively after they take off.

From the radar, the speed of the other party is really too fast. If he had to give the other party a name, he would definitely regard him as a Hellcat without hesitation.

But the doubts just came out, Hellcat fighter?Isn't he a fighter during the day?How can it also be dispatched at night?Don't they want to die?

Looking at the hundreds of bombers on the radar, he felt a bit of a headache at this moment. If the enemy was just a bomber, more than a hundred night fighters would be enough to deal with them. After all, the bomber's self-defense firepower and speed are not enough, and the fighter jets want to shoot them down. Still easy.

"Hurry up and notify the prime minister, and ask him to urgently deploy night fighters from other regions."

The British officer froze for a moment, and shouted to the communications soldier.

There are only more than a hundred night fighters in their jurisdiction, and the others are all in other jurisdictions. He has no right to mobilize, so he can only report to the Prime Minister to let him mobilize other night fighters.

"Hey, Sam, what are you doing? Aren't you awake? Didn't you hear my order? Send a telegram. Did you hear?"

A few seconds later, Signalman Sam remained unmoved, and the British officer roared impatiently.

"Sir, I was thinking, how did they find us? The fighter planes on our side just took off, and you see, we have twenty fighter planes here, and they allocated eighteen fighter planes to deal with them. Here, there are also 70 fighters, and they also allocated [-] fighters. Here, we have [-] fighters, and they have allocated more than [-] fighters.

Sir, don't you think this is strange?The number of fighters they sent to deal with us is almost the same, to ensure that we can defeat us, or entangle us, and I absolutely do not believe that there are no other escort fighters under this group of bombers. "

Sam said in a daze.

From the very beginning, he found it strange that they had radar on their side, so it was not difficult to detect them in advance, but how did they know?As soon as their fighter jets were shown on the radar here, there was a reaction there, which is enough to show that they are well aware of the dynamics of the British fighter jets.

If this is the case, then the consequences are really terrible. The German fighter planes have speed. Once the British send a large number of fighter planes to encircle them, they can turn around and run away before the British fighter planes arrive.

Although the radar stations on the ground know their positions, the pilots in the air don't. If this is repeated, the UK will be destroyed sooner or later.

Until now, they finally realized the difficulties of the Soviet Union, and they finally understood why the Soviet Union failed.And what they didn't expect was how much stock did the Germans have?

"Sir, there's a fleet of planes heading our way."

Immediately afterwards, the radar soldier shouted loudly.

This night, the British suffered heavy losses. First of all, they were unprepared and were caught off guard by the Germans. On one day, the Germans concealed their ultimate purpose. Although the British had radar, the Germans successfully deceived them. British radar.

In the end, the British Air Force, which took off in an emergency and intercepted, suffered heavy losses. More than a hundred night fighters did not understand what happened at all, and were shot down by the enemy in the blink of an eye.

And London suffered heavy losses, many houses were destroyed, fires ignited in the streets, and many people were burned to death, and this time, the scale of the air raid launched by the Germans was unprecedented. More than [-] bombers and more than [-] escort fighters were dispatched.

At the same time, on the other side of the strait, the Germans still had thousands of escort fighters on standby at the airport. Because it was night and the combat effectiveness of the British Air Force was limited, they did not need to dispatch too many escort fighters.

These fighter planes are preparing for the second bombing after dawn, and then it will be a real British air battle. However, the British have already lost one step, and they have lost to the Germans in terms of momentum. (To be continued..)
