Imperial Overlord

When Lieutenant White heard about the bombing of Brest naval port, he nearly dropped his hat on WWW..lā

​​

"Sir... I'm a fighter pilot, I can take off the plane to meet the Germans, but let me go to the enemy's territory..." When he heard this order, all he could do was explain desperately.

​​

If taking off to fight against the German bomber force is a near-death experience, then bombing in Germany is a life-and-death choice.

​​

It’s not that the British Air Force never bombed Germany, and even Churchill wanted to bomb Berlin several times in a row to retaliate against Germany.

​​

In the three missions to bomb Berlin, none of the bombers could fly into the airspace of Berlin. Most of the bombers could not even enter the German mainland, and were shot down in areas such as the Netherlands and Belgium.

​​

The British Air Force, who knew its own technology well, thought about it with its butt, and guessed that the Germans actually had a radar system.

​​

This highly efficient early warning system allowed the Luftwaffe to take off against British bombers calmly, no matter it was night or day.

​​

In the dark night, how to find the opponent's plane in the vast airspace is the difficulty of interception. So when German radars could pinpoint the British aircraft, the battle was a bloodbath.

​​

The performance of the me-110 fighter jet is not ideal when it is escorted. It can be used as a heavy fighter to intercept the opponent's bomber, but it is very competent.

​​

The Luftwaffe easily installed larger radars on the me-110 fighters, and then replaced the weapons of these aircraft with 20mm caliber cannons.

​​

The enhanced firepower me-110 fighter has become an ideal night killer, and it is more than enough to deal with the current British bomber.

​​

The number of night fighters overwhelmed the number of bombers taking off at night, which made the British efforts to come to nothing.

​​

The plan to bomb secretly at night was a complete failure, and the British pilots never even dared to think about invading German airspace during the day.

​​

In regions such as France and the Netherlands, Germany has deployed at least 1,000 fighter jets for interception and warning operations.

​​

They took turns resting, and then, while on duty, were responsible for covering the British bomber force. And after they performed the cover mission, they became the security air defense force.

​​

This arrangement allowed Germany to maintain the number of aircraft that crushed the British Air Force on the Western Front, and at the same time made it a luxury to enter German airspace during the day.

​​

"I can't help it either. The candidates who can be drawn are decided by lot... We have no reason to refuse the task of attacking." White's commander pouted regretfully and explained to White.

​​

Hearing this explanation, White really wanted to refute: "This kind of task is to commit suicide, how can you make such a hasty decision?"

​​

But when he said it, he swallowed it back. He looked at his commander, and then gave a military salute: "As ordered! Sir!"

​​

"Go back and prepare well. This bombing mission is very close to our coastline, so the Germans have no time to arrange it calmly." The commander saw his nervousness and could only comfort him.

​​

"Maybe, how many people are in our alliance?" White turned to his side and asked his superior.

​​

"Half... just selected from all the British pilots." The commander answered with some regret after hearing what White's question was asking.

​​

All American pilots would not take part in such a mission, they were just volunteers who came here to defend British airspace.

​​

They have the right to refuse to attack. Under such passive circumstances, how many people would voluntarily choose to accept this kind of task like sending death.

​​

The mission of bombing Germany, so far no one has come back alive. The result is well known. Everyone even discussed in the bar whether they had ever dropped a bomb into Berlin.

​​

No one thought that such a thing would succeed, and some commanders, after hearing the screams in the radio communications, saw the execution of the order to bomb the German interior as a form of punishment.

​​

They bluntly threatened their subordinates who disobeyed themselves, threatening to send them to bomb Germany if they continued to disobey discipline.

​​

Since the person to carry out the mission is selected from among the increasingly rare local pilots, it is not difficult to understand that he is selected. White gave a wry smile and walked out of the officer's office.

​​

When he pushed them away, he saw another acquaintance at the door, a young British pilot. The two of them had just known each other for a while, because the other had just graduated from the flight school and was added to White's wing two days ago.

​​

It seems that the above is really planning to do everything they can to complete this bombing mission. They even sent out the pilots who were intern to die.

​​

White, who walked out of the office, took out a cigarette, and walked to the corner where the two pilots who were ahead of him were talking.

​​

Even if you just look at their faces, you know that the orders they got are the same as yours. White walked up to the two, imagining what kind of expression he had.

​​

The two saw White coming over. The taller pilot tilted his head and asked with a sneer, "Why, Lieutenant White, you are such an excellent pilot that you are also sent out for this kind of mission?"

​​

This question is asked because White is a very good pilot in the wing. In one of the few interceptions, White shot down two He-111 bombers, a veteran of the fighter force.

​​

There was no refutation, White handed the other a cigarette, and the other did not refuse. After everyone had lit their cigarettes, White exhaled a ring of smoke.

​​

Then he shook his head and replied, "We are all chosen unlucky bastards, don't make fun of each other... Think about how we can come back alive."

​​

"Come back alive? That's to bomb the enemy's territory! Have we succeeded?" The third pilot who had not spoken for a long time spoke up, his face turning pale.

​​

Not that he lacked courage, at least he was also a fighter pilot who flew into hundreds of German planes.

​​

But this time, he was ordered to protect his bomber and go to Brest Port, where Germany's defense will inevitably increase. He knew that he might not be able to come back.

​​

Before Lancaster and Halifax two heavy long-range bombers entered service, the main bomber of the British Air Force was the twin-engine Wellington bomber.

​​

Compared with the German twin-engine bomber, this kind of bomber is not very advanced, so it is actually not pertinent to say that the performance of the Luftwaffe's bomber is backward.

​​

At this moment, most of the world's mainstream aviation powers are equipped with double-engine bombers, with relatively few self-defense weapons, and the gap is not obvious.

​​

Only later, as the big four-engine heavy bombers of the Allied forces began to serve one after another, did the German bombers really fall behind.

​​

The reason for this backwardness was that Germany had fallen into a passive state at that time, losing the need to develop new bombers, as well as the research and development time and production capacity.

​​

"Covering a slow guy like Wellington is no different from committing suicide." The tall pilot shook his head and turned to leave.

​​

White also nodded. He had seen German **** fighter jets. Those German pilots who had experienced many battles were quite difficult roles.

​​

When the other side was attacking, the British pilots could barely fight because of the task of protecting the bombers and the constraints of insufficient fuel in the fuel tanks.

​​

Now that the feng shui turns, this time the Luftwaffe has sufficient fuel and no bomber constraints. How much more has the combat effectiveness doubled?

​​

"Why are there still Americans?" Seeing the young pilot push the door out with a pale face, and an American pilot cynically walked into the commander's office, White froze and said.

​​

"You mean Kerry?" Hearing White's question, the short pilot who looked a little uncomfortable was well informed: "He asked for this combat mission voluntarily."

​​

"Why?" White felt that at such a time, no one would voluntarily go to the German airspace to die.

​​

"I don't understand either... Those Americans are lunatics." The short pilot commented and turned away.

​​

"All the fighters are getting ready~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are ready to set off after two o'clock in the afternoon, check their equipment, and come back as much as possible!" In the battle meeting that followed, the commander nervously gave an order to prepare for the attack .

​​

The British pilots lost the hum of their usual discussions, and the meeting room was terribly quiet. The meeting room was filled with selected pilots, and everyone saw their familiar faces.

​​

Except for a few veteran pilots, most of them are newcomers. At this time, White also understood what the so-called lottery meant.

​​

Although there is no clear explanation, the high-level air force still resisted the bombing mission. All pilots on the mission, the Air Force prepares novices.

​​

Those pilots who have shot down German planes are the candidates to fill the remaining positions after drawing lots.

​​

"Start the action on time at 2:45 pm!" Before White had recovered his soul, the commander on the podium gave the last order.

​​

In order to bomb the German port of Brest, the United Kingdom assembled a full 300 Wellington bombers, which may be the last bit of the offensive force of the British Air Force.

​​

In order to cover these bombers, the United Kingdom has prepared the same 300 Spitfires and Hurricanes, which can be regarded as the greatest strength that the British Air Force can produce.

​​

No one knows how many of these planes will be able to return safely. In the midst of everyone's anxiety, Britain's first daytime bombing of the German-occupied area began.
