Chapter 3245 Radar Failure
Bearing the brunt, it was Gao Daguang who greeted Brooke.

As a commander, he likes to rush to the first place. This is almost a common problem of all front-line deputy commanders of the Chinese Air Force.What Brook was driving was an American Mustang. This kind of fighter jet that the Americans did not use came to the UK, but it encountered spring (because the main opponent of the British is the Germans, and the popularity of German jet fighters is very slow) , who stole the limelight at the end of the London bombing.Of course, that was around the end of 44 to the beginning of 45, and now we have entered 47 years.Two years is not enough to change anything.But because China took the lead in developing jet fighters and missiles, there are too many things that can be changed in such a big environment in two years.

In Brook's eyes, when the Chinese fighter planes in the distance were just small black dots, Gao Daguang's airborne radar had already locked him.Then, at a distance of about ten kilometers, Gao Daguang pressed the launch button.

A distance of ten kilometers, even in the era before Ouyang Yun traveled, was considered beyond the visual range of operations.At this distance, it was very difficult for Brook to aim, let alone attack.He never expected that the opponent could strike him precisely ten kilometers away. Therefore, when he saw the flames suddenly appearing on a Chinese fighter plane in the distance, Brook's first reaction was surprise, and he thought that Gao Daguang's fighter plane came out. problem.

But in the blink of an eye, the fire that was lit far away turned into a fireball that was close at hand, and Brook immediately realized what happened to him. "Missiles?! Air-to-air missiles!" He shouted sharply, with a hint of panic in his tone.

Today, as the Chinese army kills all directions, the theory of missiles has finally become popular.In the military textbooks of some countries, there is also a professional explanation for the term missile, that is, a rocket that can lock the target and automatically adjust the flight route to ensure the strike efficiency and considerable lethality.

Brook's reaction was quick, shouting "missile" in his mouth, and pulling the push rod with his hand, the landline has been adjusted to the state of climbing upwards.But compared to missiles, Mustang's speed is too slow.That's why he pulled the fighter plane into an almost vertical upward posture, and the missile launched by Gao Daguang had already rushed straight up, hitting the Mustang's belly.

"This is a unilateral massacre. In the face of the Chinese jet fighters, even the Baiji fighters imported from the Chinese, there is no way to fight back. Watching the fighters piloted by comrades-in-arms being killed by the Chinese It was like lighting up fireworks with missiles, and the sense of powerlessness made me shake my sacred profession for the first time. Should we really be enemies of China?"

A passage from "The Second London Bombing", the interviewee is Captain George, a survivor of an air battle.

The first confrontation between the Chinese Air Force and the British Air Force over London ended in a complete victory for the Chinese side.And if Dowding hadn't reacted quickly and decisively enough, the British might have lost their air deterrence.At No. 208 minutes of the air battle, Dowding received a report from the London airport and learned that the airport had been completely destroyed by the Chinese Air Force. He also learned that there were no more than ten fighters that had just taken off, so he decisively issued an order to retreat. .

The bombing of London initiated by the Germans was not without achievements. The greatest contribution made by German pilots to the Chinese Air Force was the killing and wounding of a large number of British pilots.Although after more than a year of training and reorganization, the strength of the British Air Force has recovered, but it is still much weaker than before.In this case, the performance advantage of the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets is tantamount to being infinitely magnified.

"Report! The London airport has been completely destroyed by Chinese warplanes!"

"Report! The industrial area was bombed by Chinese warplanes, and suffered heavy losses!"

"Report……"

Staying in the air-raid shelter, feeling the ground shaking and listening to the continuous explosion, Churchill finally realized that he might have made a mistake.But even at this time, he still does not believe that the Chinese fleet has full combat capability, and believes that the Chinese are launching a suicide attack, that is, to deter them by sacrificing a certain number of bombers. "The Chinese are crazy, suicide attack, must be suicide attack! Their bombers can't make it to and from London at all-it must be like this..."

The bombing lasted only about half an hour.As Slim and Churchill expected, China's main bomber, the Chinese sturgeon, does have a range problem. In order to ensure that the Chinese sturgeon participating in combat missions will not suffer non-combat losses due to fuel problems, Chen Shichang, when formulating the combat plan, Their air time was specially limited.That is, regardless of whether the Chinese sturgeons participating in the battle have reached the combat area or not, they must return immediately once the airborne time expires.

The explosion finally stopped, and the air defense siren was finally lifted.For Londoners, tonight is doomed to sleepless nights.

The Chinese side is actually benevolent enough. Before the air strike, it issued leaflets to warn the British and gave them enough time to hide in prevention and control measures. However, civilian casualties are still inevitable.

Compared with civilian casualties, Churchill was more distressed by the destruction of London Airport and some important factory facilities.Because it is basically defenseless, as long as it is patronized by Chinese bombers, it will either be bombed into scrap iron or razed to the ground.

"The loss statistics are up?" Churchill asked Dowding and a group of officers who hurried over while standing slumped on Downing Street, looking at the black smoke billowing everywhere.

Compared with Churchill, who was more concerned about the size of the loss like a miser, Dowding seemed more professional. He was concerned about why the Chinese fighter plane could not be discovered in advance.Therefore, he immediately investigated several front-line radar stations, trying to figure out whether it was the negligence of the staff or the tactics used by the Chinese that led to the surprise attack.

Although it is only a preliminary investigation result, the situation is already clear.The officers and soldiers of the radar stations distributed along the flight route of the Chinese aircraft fleet did not neglect their duties, but the Chinese aircraft fleet deceived their own radars.In Dowding's view, this is a very terrible thing, and its severity is even greater than the Chinese fleet's air raid on London itself.

"You said that our radar can't detect the Chinese aircraft fleet?" Although Churchill was not very professional in air defense, he knew what it meant and immediately paid attention to it.

"It has been confirmed."

"Doesn't that mean that Chinese fighter planes can launch an air strike on us at any time, and we can't detect it in advance?" Churchill's eyes widened, and the depths of his eyes were full of horror.

"It should be like this," Dowding said bitterly.Only by comparison can we know the pros and cons. As the commander of the British Air Force, Dowding originally thought that looking at the world, the British Air Force would at least be in the top three, even if it could not rank first or second.But the facts tell him that he is too naive on this issue-they have been left far behind by the Chinese.
