Chapter 1977： Eagle Three over London

At the same time, whether it was Prime Minister Asquith in London, Marshal Haig, or Marshal Trenchard, commander-in-chief of the British Air Force in Dunkirk, they never thought that an accident would cause France. Human vigilance, and then, the storm caused by this unexpected butterfly fanning its wings swept across the entire western front battlefield. Of course, this is something later, not to mention it!

At this time, the German "bait" fleet has entered the sky over London. The size of the entire fleet is not large compared to the subsequent bombers, and it is "only" more than 80 various bombers and hundreds of fighters. But just over 200. But this is already a very large fleet for the residents of London. They have never seen such a large fleet flying towards the city of London like a dark cloud!

"The Germans are really punctual. Is this the so-called box formation? It looks like a group of bison hedgehogs gathered together, aiming at the outside with the sharp horns of their heads." Once a biologist, he is now drafted into the army. The pilot of George looked at the German fleet in the distance and said.

This is also the first time British rookie pilots have seen the box formation mentioned in the textbook. More than 80 bombers are arranged in two layers. Just like a huge hamburger, the relatively weak K6 bomber is at the edge of the box formation, while the strong K8 bomber is at each turning point! This is the most vulnerable to attack, so additional "reinforcement" is needed!

A large number of fighter jets surround the bomber, one part is used to cover the weakness of the box formation, such as the rear and lower part, and the other part is the stalker, who act like the ancient light cavalry on the periphery of the cluster. fighting.

For these fledgling rookies, facing the tactics developed after long-term trials on the battlefield, they have fear, confusion and excitement in their hearts! The first time they participated in the war, they seemed to have broken the five-flavored bottle in their hearts, and all kinds of feelings poured up together, but the mind seemed to be placed at the bottom of the bottle!

"Young man, stay close, wait until our colleagues come, and then we rush up! Always pay attention to your rear. According to statistics, the survival probability of a pilot who looks at the back once in half a minute is 30% higher than that of a pilot who looks at the back after a minute. !" At this time, George's boss, a British squadron captain William, said loudly to the newcomers next to him.

If he was surrounded by William’s former comrades in arms, he would also develop some tactics, but now, facing these rookies whose flight time is estimated to be only 40 hours at most, he can only do two things. The first thing is Keeping up with yourself, the second thing is to look at the back when it’s okay, don’t even know why you didn’t die in the end! "I hope that after this battle, we can still meet at dinner." William said while looking at some of his teammates next to him.

Almost all British squadron captains adopted a similar response method as William. They centered on the squadron captain’s lead plane and formed a close formation. This is not a suitable battle formation because they are not interceptors. Enough firepower and armor to force bombers, and an overly large formation is also very inconvenient to deal with fighter sneak attacks and flyby attacks, but there is no way, you can't expect a group of rookies to know what to do after leaving the team. Don't think they are interceptors, but this is really a group of herbivores, they still have a little brain when they hug each other.

"It seems that the British still have some inventory, but it seems that the quality of the pilots is not good." The Germans are also looking at the British, but unlike the British who are nervous and ready to fight at any time, the Germans see the British. Don’t worry immediately, because more than 80% of the opponents are rookies!

This is an era when fighter jets can hardly popularize radio. Before an attack, a very rigorous plan is required. For example, when everyone will be there, how to converge, and the order of attack after converging, it is clear. Once in actual combat, the order of the fighter forces' containment and the order of the interceptor's attack must also be just right. This is like playing LOL in later generations. They are ready to start a regiment. They must be well controlled and coordinated. The elderly can form a tacit understanding of tactics. , Like the Internet cafes in LOL open five consecutive black seats, and if it is a group of rookies, it is really a group of elementary school passersby!

The British on the opposite side are obviously a group of rookies. After the aircraft group entered the field, all the aircraft groups were scattered. This shows that they did not arrange the attack sequence and tasks before the war began. And they are mainly fighters. It seems that there is no interceptor. Just relying on the two 7.7MM machine guns of the fighters, why do you rush into the box formation?

The Germans can keenly feel that the opponent is waiting, at least for the appearance of the interceptor group. There are already a lot of British people in the sky, but the composition is very unscientific and the organization is very bad.

"Let's go to the British palace and go around The fighter jets can also move." At this time, a series of radio waves pierced through a K8 bomber at the core of the box formation. Then, the huge fleet began to turn and flew to Buckingham Palace in a straight line. A team of fighters at an altitude of 4,000 meters also left the formation and rushed to one of the British fighters!

"Fuck, the Germans are rushing to the palace! Stop them!" When the British finally determined the German route, they couldn't help it. Several squadrons of British fighters rushed toward the German bombers.

"Damn it! This is a bait! I never thought that such an inferior scam would succeed!" William was depressed for a while, and some disgusted, being disgusted by his colleagues... The box formation is the most vulnerable when it is bombed, because it needs each squadron to break the formation and then launch the bombing. Otherwise, wouldn't the upper bombers throw bombs to blow up the lower ones?

As a veteran who has been on the Western Front for more than half a year, William still has a basic assessment of how long and how long it will take to deploy such a huge box formation. In his opinion, this time the German bombing target is not at all. It may be Buckingham Palace, because the time and distance left are not enough for the bombers to deploy... At this time, a group of British fighter jets rushed up... Dude, this is still an unopened box, is it really okay to go straight up? Do you really think that the barbed-like machine guns on the behemoths are for fun? William is very optimistic about the fate of these colleagues.
