Imperial Overlord
: The sixty-one curtain opens
Since when did the Germans lose the Battle of Britain? Some say it was after Führer Hitler decided to bomb London with all his might.
However, they often overlooked many details: in previous operations, the loss of the Luftwaffe has always been higher than that of the British, and it has never suppressed the British Air Force at all.
The British radar station can provide the Air Force with accurate information on the German invasion, and fighter jets take off and intercept them often in a timely and effective manner.
The backward **** tactics used by the Luftwaffe limited the performance of the Luftwaffe's fighter units, and the tiny advantages gained by twisting the technology tree were all wasted.
The communication was deciphered by the British, the Luftwaffe strategic attack had no secrets to the British, and what was even more terrifying was that the short-legged Luftwaffe was completely incapable of destroying the fighter production capacity in northern England!
Considering so many unfavorable factors, in fact, the backward Luftwaffe had only one advantage in this period: quantity! The rest is a hopeless disadvantage and balance of power.
Therefore, even though Britain has just experienced the fiasco of the Dunkirk retreat, the loss of the sinking of the French Resolve, and the helplessness of Malta changing hands.
But the British Air Force is still fighting high, and General Dowding has always believed that he can win because his fighter force is trustworthy!
The British prepared a full 700 fighter jets for the British air battle. After losses and failures, these fighter jets were relatively advanced hurricanes and Spitfires, with high combat effectiveness.
In the face of a superior German offensive, General Dowding was well-prepared: he had many radar stations in the south to provide early warning.
With these valuable early warnings and intelligence, the disguised airport can take off fighter jets to intercept the Germans, giving them a fatal blow.
It seems that both sides are well prepared, so when the British air battle, which was postponed to August 1, starts, the generals of both sides are determined to win.
"Confirm everyone's attack target! Remember your mission! Long live the Führer!" On the ground, the fully dressed Luftwaffe pilots began to confirm their target for the last time at the request of the intelligence officer.
Including the precise coordinates and the appearance of the target, which the reconnaissance plane has repeatedly confirmed, the information obtained by the Luftwaffe pilots has never been so detailed.
These German pilots in leather jackets and solemn expressions held the photo in their hands, and followed the order to carefully look at the target they were going to attack.
For two consecutive days, they were simulating attacks on important targets on the ground. They were the vanguard of the Luftwaffe after the war, but they were also the first unlucky ones to be kicked out of the British air battle in another time and space.
After the pilots of the Stuka dive bomber were ready, they walked out of the room and passed the lawn with a single command.
With the help of the ground crew, the pilots climbed into the plane and started the engine. The ground was busy, and the plane that had already mounted the bomb was ready to take off, and the sound of the engine drowned out the other sounds.
In the sky, horizontal bombers taking off from farther places are passing by these front-line airfields. The first large-scale deployment of the German army almost used all its strength.
A full 300 bombers, 250 Stukas, and more than 150 **** fighters rushed to the British mainland across the strait.
"Air defense siren! Air defense siren! German aircraft invasion! Massive invasion of German planes!" The British soldier, who was staring at the radar screen, almost fell off his chair without being frightened by the radar signal.
The beating signals on the radar screen were linked together, showing a large number of reflected signals, approaching the British mainland.
He loudly reminded his superior, and the air defense sirens in the radar base also sounded. Who would have thought that on the first day of August, the air battle would break out so suddenly.
"The anti-aircraft artillery unit is ready! Get ready! The enemy's flight direction may be London! Inform the fighter unit to take off and intercept! Quick!" The radar officer on duty commanded his men loudly.
General Dowding's office phone rang, apparently more than one radar station had detected the invading German bomber swarm.
"Hello? Sir... I'm Dowding... The German plane is approaching, and I've heard the news." Dowding grabbed the phone and reported the news of the German plane invasion to Prime Minister Churchill.
He has just ordered the 11th fighter group to take off fighter jets to fight. Because of the role of ground guidance, he knows that the German bomber group has not exposed its real bombing target.
With so many planes, it is of course impossible for the enemy to attack only one location. Dawding is judging which locations the enemy's planes will attack first.
Only after judging these can he order the air defense sirens in these areas to notify the civilians on the ground to avoid the enemy's attack.
"The Germans dispatched hundreds of planes, and this time they were clearly prepared. We don't know their bombing targets yet." Dowding briefly described the scale of the air battle to Churchill.
"We need to ensure the safety of important targets, understand?" Churchill's side was obviously also devastated by the sudden attack of the Luftwaffe.
"The radar station will keep an eye on the German planes all the time. As long as they separate, our fighter jets will attack." Dawding said confidently.
His tactic was very simple: wait for the Germans themselves to spread out and attack, and then encircle a few of them with a limited fighter force.
In this way, it is possible to avoid the superior Luftwaffe power and gain a local military advantage. As long as the Luftwaffe is hurt, the defensive victory can naturally be won.
It can be said that his tactics are very correct. The Luftwaffe, who ignored the role of radar, had no idea that he was being watched by the enemy all the time, and their every move was well known to the other side.
In this case, the Luftwaffe was beaten passively everywhere and lost more aircraft, and it was doomed.
"Then, General Dawding! The next thing is up to you! Long live the British Empire!" After Churchill said this, he hung up the phone.
Dawding put down the phone that went directly to the Prime Minister's residence, then walked out of his office and came to the air force command hall specially set up.
Here, the positions of the British fighter jets that have taken off have all been marked, and the positions of the German invasion aircraft groups have also been placed with black aircraft pieces representing the enemy.
Very intuitive, he saw the current war situation over the battlefield, at least from the side, learned the huge size of the German fleet.
"The radar station is still finding German planes. There are at least 500 of them. We don't know where they plan to attack."
"Where is it? Bath? Or Southampton? Portsmouth? Canterbury? Or London?" Dawding also looked puzzled.
With a bomber force of this size, it is obvious that the opponent has a lot of targets to attack, and it seems to be very important.
But which important attack target is it worth the Germans to dispatch so many planes to attack?
"Could it be London?" Looking at the approaching German fleet, Douding frowned and asked the staff officers and officers beside him.
"Report! The other party's aircraft group has crossed the strait! The observation post on the coast has heard news that at least 300 enemy planes have been found, and the sky is densely covered!" An officer ran over and reported in a panic.
A hundred years? The British were only a hundred years short of facing the threat of their homeland by the enemy. The mighty British navy always prevailed over the enemy and stifled the crisis in its cradle.
So the young officer looked a little nervous. This was a difficult time his father had never experienced. Even their chief Dao Ding faced such a huge threat for the first time.
The huge German bomber force has crossed the strait, and UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com stood on the coastline. Many British soldiers saw the German bomber force like a swarm with their own eyes.
"The army called. They saw a large number of enemy planes and asked for air force support." Another British officer's report broke the brief silence.
"Let London sound the air defense siren... Evacuate the civilians." Dowding touched his chin and instructed his subordinate, "Did any observation posts see the German aircraft formation dispersing?"
"There is no report in this regard! The radar also shows that the other party is not dispersed." Soon, some officers reported the information they had.
Dawding was bewildered by the flying state of the Germans. He didn't know what the other party was going to do. After all, there might only be one London target worth bombing by hundreds of planes, right?
Could it be that the first time the Germans bombed Britain on a large scale, they just used such an indiscriminate method of bombing the capital?
"Let the second-tier fighter jets take off. If the other side rushes towards London, we will intercept them in advance..." Dauding finally gave an order to let more fighter jets take off.
"The Spitfire entangled the German **** fighter forces as much as possible, and the Hurricane was responsible for dealing with the enemy's bombers! Don't fight, shoot down the enemy's aircraft as much as possible, this is the first task!" He then added.
"Woo...woo..." On the lively streets of London, where the Big Ben was erected, the air defense siren suddenly sounded, and the desolation echoed in the sky.
Looking up at the sky, the children who were trying to find the plane were picked up by their mothers. People hurriedly passed the streets, carrying valuables, carrying suitcases, and got into the nearby air-raid shelter and the subway station.
On August 1, the air defense siren sounded over London, and the Battle of Britain officially kicked off.
