Imperial Overlord

In fact, in addition to taking out 300 Wellington bombers, the British Air Force also used the A-20 attack aircraft imported from the United States. 23 US. COM updates fastest

​​

British equipment nicknamed Havoc, this aircraft is also twin-engine, has a long range and can carry a lot of bombs. As you can tell from the name, it is an attack aircraft designed and developed by the United States.

​​

In order to ensure the complete destruction of the port of Brest, the British also pulled 100 Havocs to form a night bomber force.

​​

After the bombing during the day destroyed the opponent's air defense system, he used the catastrophe sneak attack at night, and another unexpected second strike.

​​

When it comes to planning, Churchill and his Air Force commanders are no less thorough. It's just that their action this time has long been seen clearly by the German radar.

​​

On the screen of the search radar, wave after wave jumped, indicating that a large number of aircraft were approaching. The German radar soldier on duty almost thought his radar was broken.

​​

However, it is impossible for two radars to be damaged at the same time. When another radar of a different type also found the target, the radar soldier on duty immediately notified his commander.

​​

The officer who was on duty immediately grabbed the phone in front of him and wanted to call Brest: "Long live the Führer! This is a radar station, and a large number of British aircraft intrusions have been detected! Repeat, a large number of enemy aircraft intrusions have been detected!"

​​

Germany's new anti-air warning radar can detect high-altitude aircraft at a distance of more than 200 kilometers. In other words, the British aircraft have been discovered when they are still in their own airspace.

​​

After all, the British did not have the ability to keep hundreds of bombers in formation and fly 200 meters above the sea.

​​

The entire British bomber formation flew at an altitude of more than 6,300 meters, and the British fighters escorting them flew higher than these bombers.

​​

At this distance, plus the bad weather has just passed, the sky is relatively clear, so the German radar has really reached the terrifying limit of 200 kilometers detection distance in actual combat.

​​

This distance gave German air defenses more than 20 minutes to prepare, which is why radar is so important in modern warfare.

​​

"Woo...! Woo...!" A terrifying air defense alarm sounded over the port of Brest. The soldiers hurried to their posts, and the soldiers resting on the beds nervously lifted their quilts and ran out of the door.

​​

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" A German officer shouted loudly from the square in front of the dormitory, blowing his whistle from time to time.

​​

"Quick! Quick!" The two German soldiers ran into the anti-aircraft gun position where they were, and sat in the operating position of the anti-aircraft gun.

​​

The two quickly shook the handle, and an 88mm cannon began to raise its barrel. The other soldiers of the artillery squad began to carry the shells, standing three or four against the sandbags next to the anti-aircraft guns.

​​

The non-commissioned officer who set the height of the fuze explosion waited for an order from afar, and the observer in charge of measuring the height of the enemy plane was holding his own instrument not far away.

​​

Squinting, looking at the sun that was already sloping westward in the distance, the soldiers raised their heads, waiting for the battle that was about to begin. The barrels of countless anti-aircraft guns pointed to the sky, and the positions on both sides of the entire Brest Naval Port were like two huge hedgehogs.

​​

Beneath the camouflage net, these cannons were already pointed to the sky, aimed at the direction the enemy would attack. There are also some small-caliber anti-aircraft gun positions in the port, but they are sparser.

​​

Because of the simultaneous deployment of four different radar stations, the German Navy received four warning notices of incoming enemy forces in the port.

​​

The battleships have already started to burn boilers, and the anti-aircraft weapons on the battleships have also been erected. The anti-aircraft firepower of the German warships, which had been strengthened originally, had their gun barrels raised.

​​

Small as 20mm caliber cannons, as large as 105mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, the anti-aircraft weapons on the battleship are densely packed, which seems to be reassuring.

​​

Soon, the Brest Naval Port was quiet from the noisy state just now, and the quietness was a little nervous.

​​

"I said...Are the British crazy?" A German anti-aircraft artilleryman swallowed and looked at the distant sky from the gap in the camouflage net.

​​

The weather over the Atlantic Ocean has just improved, the sun has just come out for a few hours, and the British's revenge action has begun. I can't wait...

​​

"Maybe, anyway, when they come here, they might as well bomb Berlin, it will be easier..." Another transport soldier who was carrying artillery shells, leaning against the ammunition box, murmured.

​​

"The new radar that measures the altitude shows that the British bomber group is at an altitude of 6,000 to 7,000 meters!" An officer conveyed the words from the security department.

​​

The accuracy of radar in this era is really unflattering, so the height measurement obtained is actually not accurate.

​​

Of course, such a "huge range" cannot be used as a basis for setting the fuze of anti-aircraft artillery shells, so everyone is still waiting quietly, waiting for the British plane to appear in the sky.

​​

"Look! Look!" A soldier heard the roar of the engine, as if 10,000 bees were flying over his head. The noise made people tremble.

​​

However, the source of the noise was behind them, so the first German soldier who turned back pointed to the sky in surprise and loudly reminded his companions.

​​

South of the port of Brest, one after another in the sky, neat formations of German fighter jets appeared.

​​

They were German fighter jets that took off to meet the British bombers. Compared with the British planes, they were definitely only a lot more numerous.

​​

In order to cover the German naval battleships in the port of Brest, the Luftwaffe had already placed the focus of the battle on Brest, so when the radar alarm came, the waiting German fighter force immediately dispatched.

​​

The first batch of interceptor fighters was as many as 200. Although the number sounds small, these are all me-109e and fw-190b fighters, and their performance is very powerful.

​​

"They came a little too fast..." A German anti-aircraft artilleryman with a cannonball muttered.

​​

"I heard that two new radar stations have been built nearby, and the latest equipment was just put into use five days ago." A German military officer, staring at the sky with a telescope, explained to the naval commanders around him: "Use It's the latest technology!"

​​

Li Le has been paying attention to the progress and development of German radar technology. How to make radar progress? The only way is to produce as soon as possible, install and use as soon as possible, and think of ways to innovate as soon as possible.

​​

Brest, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany have all become test fields for German radar equipment.

​​

German engineers have developed and designed a set of radar equipment, and will produce a set to be installed in a certain area for experiments.

​​

Then, on the basis of this new type of radar, a more advanced radar is developed and equipped to other places.

​​

Although doing so reduces the versatility and reliability of the radar, what Li Le has won is precious time.

​​

The investment in radar, as well as technology research and development, takes time to accumulate. It is almost impossible to immediately improve the performance of one's own radar.

​​

To be able to use 4 months to popularize the radar to the key defense areas on the front line, Li Le has already exerted his strength to feed his milk.

​​

Of course, his efforts will definitely pay off. For example, this time the British Air Force made a big attack. Not long after taking off from the secret airfield in the homeland, the British fleet was discovered by German radar.

​​

This gave the Luftwaffe enough time to react. In the field airfields around Brest, the first batch of interceptor fighter jets had already launched into the air and blocked in front of the port of Brest.

​​

At the same time, the German interceptor fighter jets further back and in other directions have also taken off in full swing, rushing towards the direction of the British Air Force formation.

​​

Of course, it is impossible for the United Kingdom to command 600 aircraft to fight at the same time, and their formations are also spread out in batches in the air.

​​

So, when the first batch of British planes flew across the strait, the last batch of British bombers were still over the mainland.

​​

With so many planes concentrated in the same airspace, the sound of the engines made people feel depressing. Both sides dispatched a large number of planes. The first super-large air battle caused by the British attack in the history of World War II kicked off.

​​

Sitting in his Spitfire, British pilot White felt the splendor of the friendly forces around him.

​​

The fighter jet next to him stretched out as far as the eye could see, and it seemed that there was no end in sight. This was the first time he saw so many fighter jets, and it gave him some confidence in the bombing~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The wings of the Spitfire are hundreds of Hurricane fighter jets. They are all rookies, and they shoulder the heavy responsibility of flying with the bomber and covering the bomber.

​​

The hunter unit was equipped with P-40 fighter jets, and they were responsible for taking out the German fighter jets entangled in the Spitfire, opening a gap for the bomber force.

​​

Once a large number of bombers landed in the port of Brest, the port would be completely finished. Because of the huge number, the British Air Force believed that as long as the bombs were dropped in one breath, the Port of Brest could be completely paralyzed.

​​

"Be careful! Be careful! The lead plane found the enemy plane! The lead plane found the enemy plane!" White's earphones came with news that made them vigilant.

​​

"The fighters of the hunter unit are climbing! Start climbing! Spitfire units, get ready to meet the enemy! Get ready to meet the enemy!" As time went by, the voice in the headset became more and more getting nervous.

​​

White shook his joystick lightly, and looked at the clouds in the distance through the cabin glass. There, the first German fighter jet had torn apart the white clouds and rushed out aggressively.
