Imperial Overlord

"There is news from the ground observation post... There are a lot of German **** fighter jets! More than 100!" An air force commander shouted to Dawding nervously.

Just now, there were so many incoming calls that a lot of news was covered up in a lot of useless reports.

Hearing the number of German **** fighters, Dawding seemed to realize something. But before he got the point, another call came in.

Churchill asked Dowding sullenly on the phone, "How can a German plane come and go freely over London?"

As a British Prime Minister, Churchill felt like he was going to be famous. He may be the only Prime Minister during his tenure in the British Empire whose capital was attacked so violently.

"They are dropping bombs on London! For God's sake, stop them!" On the other end of the phone, Churchill's helplessness and anger could be clearly felt.

The bombers that attacked Berlin, Germany suffered heavy losses. Dozens of bombers never returned, and not one out of ten survived.

Originally thought this incident was over, but now it seems that the Germans are obviously going to avenge the attack on Berlin that was accidentally launched by Trek.

"Mr. Prime Minister... With all due respect, the current situation is not a bad thing for us." Dowding opened his mouth and persuaded Churchill.

As he said, he gave his own explanation: "The enemy's previous attacks have always been aimed at our defense system. Now that they have changed their targets, we can breathe a sigh of relief."

Dowding's words reminded Churchill, and the other party obviously realized that the Germans might have given up their correct strategic decision.

The attack on British factories, airfields and fighter jets was unbearable for the British side. This destroyed the British air defense system, and to put it bluntly, it was a pain in the flesh.

However, if German planes start bombing London, apart from destroying some insignificant private houses, it will indeed not cause any weakening of the defense capability of the British mainland.

If he had to make an exchange, Churchill also hoped to make such an exchange, but he couldn't watch London just being attacked by the Germans.

"Although it's a good thing that the Germans have changed their targets, we can't watch London being attacked like this! We have to do something." Churchill thought for a while and said to Dawding.

He paused for a while, then opened his mouth to express his concerns: "His Majesty the King will ask about this, and we will also give an explanation to the citizens of London."

There were only 30 fighter jets that Dawding took off. These planes were prepared to take advantage of the chaos of the German formation and go up to fight the autumn wind.

But so far, the formation of the German bomber unit has not been chaotic, and the number of **** fighters has also made Douding a little concerned.

If you let your own fighter jets go up rashly, you may lose a lot of planes. This is inconsistent with Daoding's original intention to preserve his strength.

"I did take off fighter jets, but because of insufficient numbers, I couldn't attack the German bomber formation." Dawding explained to Churchill while holding the phone.

"Then take off more planes and intercept the Germans!" Over the phone, Churchill's tone became impatient.

In fact, at this time, he was in the underground air-raid shelter, and his assistant handed a note with a telegram to the Prime Minister.

The note said that an aircraft engine production plant in the suburbs of England was completely destroyed, and a large number of houses were destroyed.

The Germans have prepared at least 250 tons of bombs this time. Of course, the destructive power should not be underestimated. And this factory is marked by Li Le, and the German side knows it in great detail.

"The Germans took off more than 100 fighter jets to **** us, and we rashly attacked at this time...it seems..." Dawding explained, but was interrupted by Churchill on the phone.

Before he could finish speaking, the other party interrupted: "If the Germans have been escorting so many fighter jets, will we never take off fighter jets to intercept them?"

Churchill's rhetorical question left Dodding speechless. Because of this way of preserving strength, to put it bluntly, it means passively avoiding battles.

This kind of thing can be understood in two directions. At best, it is called preserving strength, at worst, it is called escaping the battle.

Because of this, this kind of conservative tactics must be thoroughly understood by the superiors, and it will be effective only if it is implemented from beginning to end.

A full 5 minutes have passed, and the German bombers dropped bombs recklessly, drowning half of London in black smoke.

"I can't see the target! I can't confirm if it was completely destroyed!" A German bombardier shouted to his captain through the bombsight.

Through the precise engraving of the sight and the glass, the lens is full of smoke from the explosion.

Although the bomb was dropped at the same rhythm, it was impossible to see where it was dropped.

I have to say that at this time, the air forces of various countries are still in the stage of ignorant strategic bombing exploration, and the German army has insufficient experience in this regard.

"Sir, if you let the fighter jets attack at this time, you will suffer losses." An officer persuaded General Dauding to put down the phone.

His words made Dawding sober. He shouldn't let his fighter jets go to waste with the German bomber fleet.

However, if he doesn't let his fighter jets go to waste, how can he explain it to his superiors? You know, Churchill and His Majesty the King are very concerned about the news of the air raid on London.

"Let the fighter troops come back..." After weighing it up, Dowding decided to stick to the tactics he insisted on and try to preserve the British Air Force as much as possible before the Germans landed.

Dowding did not know that he was facing more than 150 German fighter jets, more than half of which were new aircraft such as the FW-190.

Now, his decision has saved the lives of dozens of British pilots. After dropping 250 tons of aerial bombs in one breath, the Germans reversed the direction of flight and flew away.

"If this bombing continues, we may be the last people to see London." A German pilot said to his superior when returning home.

At this time, the smoke in London was billowing, and the whole city seemed to be burning. The streets were littered with shards of shattered glass and some rubble that flew from nowhere.

On August 8, the Luftwaffe made its first air raid on London and dropped a large number of bombs on the industrial area on the outskirts of London.

These bombs destroyed an important British aircraft engine production plant, resulting in the production of the famous British Merlin engine.

However, the scale of production reduction is not large, because after all, this production plant on the outskirts of London is only responsible for the production of some parts.

Most of the production workshops have been moved to safer northern areas, which is what the British industrial sector has been working hard to do in the past week.

On the afternoon of August 8, the Luftwaffe once again dispatched a large number of bombers. This time, instead of only 100 bombers, they dispatched 300 bombers in one go.

With 110 escorting fighter jets, the Luftwaffe had 410 aircraft visiting London this time around.

Unlike the last time, most of the Germans dispatched this time were bombers, and these bombers had no obvious target to attack. They blindly dropped bombs in the urban area, and then returned in a hurry, not giving the British a chance to fight back. .

Dowding never sent his own fighter jets to interfere with the German bombing of London. He squeezed his fighter unit and turned a deaf ear to all parties asking him to strike.

His hard work has paid off these days, as his fighter count has grown to 590, and it looks like he'll soon be back at the level where the British air battle began.

Of course, the Germans have also made their own fighter jet production lines run at full speed at this time-the German front line has a full 383 more aircraft these days, which is more than the total number of aircraft produced by the British.

Moreover, because of the intervention of the fake head of state Li Le, these more than 100 planes are all three kinds of planes: FW-190, ME-109E and JU-88~www.wuxiahere.com~ The German army no longer produces Heinkel. The HE-111 is out, because everyone sees the outdated and backwardness of this aircraft.

By concentrating its own production capacity in a timely manner, and putting these production capacity into better aircraft, the Luftwaffe immediately has more aircraft that can be used.

The speed of the JU-88 bomber is similar to that of the British Hurricane fighter, and it is obviously more calm than the HE-111 fighter when facing such an opponent.

Another point is that more FW-190 fighter jets indicate that German fighter jets can better **** bombers bombing London.

And on August 8th. It was not all good news for the Luftwaffe - the bombing of London went well, but the British interception did not seem to have occurred.

"The British gave up their defense of London?" Li Le also had an unbelievable expression on his face after hearing the news.

If the British Air Force is not fooled, the Luftwaffe will be exhausted after at most two months. At that time, the air battle against the United Kingdom must be stopped and fully transferred to the defense...

And this historical ending is the beginning of the complete failure of Germany's Western Front strategy! It is precisely because of the hidden dangers buried in the British air battle that Germany finally fell into the embarrassing situation of two-front warfare.

In order to cope with the daily interference and bombing of the German industrial zone by the unsinkable British aircraft carrier, Germany had to disperse its own limited production capacity and put it into the production of weapons such as anti-aircraft guns.

This is not the ending that Li Le wants to see, nor is it the best ending. Li Le is unwilling to put one-third of his power on the Western Front, just to guard against a British...
