The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1957: Dover Storm Three

"We now have only two options. One is to abandon the interception, and the other is to immediately take off the second wave of interceptor fleets. It will take about 30 minutes for the German fleet to arrive over the fleet. The fleet deployed along the Strait still has time. Yes." An officer said.

   What the officer said was very pertinent. Although there are 180 fighter jets in the air, they seem to be many, but it is almost impossible to expect them to stop the German fleet! Although the British do not know how many **** fighters the Germans have dispatched this time, the total number is definitely more than double the current number of fighters the British have! After all, according to the description of the reconnaissance aircraft, there are no fewer than 400 bombers! To be honest, at this point, the British plane may have completely scattered after flying two rounds in the air. Head-to-head results are certainly not seconds.

   "Has the Straits Fleet contacted?" Marshal Trenchard asked anxiously.

"Contacted, they refused to disband the fleet. They thought that with the help of the navy, those transport ships were more likely to survive. However, the Straits Fleet agreed and let the transport fleet go first under the cover of the armored cruiser. "An officer said.

   "It seems that the people from the Royal Navy have helped us make a choice." Marshal Trenchard said helplessly. "We can't let German bombs and torpedoes be thrown into the fleet. This is simply a disaster for us. We ordered the second wave of aircraft to take off immediately and told the airport to prepare for the first wave of returning aircraft to them. Add fuel and strike immediately!"

   "Your Excellency Commander, if we really do this, I am afraid we can only fight this wave today." An officer said after careful consideration. It is possible to use the second wave of aircraft, and it can indeed supplement the number of the first wave of aircraft to resist the first German attack, but this obviously disrupted the air force’s combat plan, and the subsequent supply and scheduling were messed up. . If the Germans come to the second wave of aircraft, the Air Force will not be able to organize enough aircraft to deal with it.

   "At least we can hold the first wave." Trenchard said in a deep voice. With the final release of the order, the British fleet that was originally planned to attack in 2 hours was forced to attack early. As a result, only about half of the aircraft could perform missions at this time. The only thing that can make the British rejoice is that before the arrival of the German fleet, the second wave of British planes finally arrived!

   "The weather is good today, it is a day that can decide life and death!" George flew his camel fighter over the head of the transport ship, and he could see the crew on the transport ship waving to them. At this moment, the Royal Air Force is the patron saint of these people.

   The engine roar of the engine filled my ears. At this moment, hundreds of British aircraft were concentrated on the east side of the transport fleet to form a solid barrier. The entire fleet is like a huge hamburger, divided into upper, middle and lower levels. The uppermost is the fighter unit. They will take advantage of their altitude to rush through the first wave. The fighters that contained the Germans, in the middle were the attack planes. They would rush towards the German bomber units like heavy cavalry in the Middle Ages. At an altitude of 500 meters below the sea, a large number of backward planes and seaplanes were deployed. . This is to deal specifically with the German torpedo machines. The number of British planes is not enough, and these outdated or unsuitable planes can only be deployed at low and medium altitudes to barely resist the Germans!

"This is the strength of the British Empire. Even though we have gone through so many ups and downs, we can still organize such a powerful fleet and rivals to a higher level!" George looked at the swarms of planes around him. A kind of pride emerges spontaneously. Next to me, there are dozens of three-aircraft squadrons, and below is a battle group consisting of 6 squadrons of interceptors. They are organized in squadrons, with 3 aircraft in a team, and 5 teams in a battle group. Put in a triangle formation. The six fleets are lined up in the air like a wall. Regardless of the quality of those pilots, at least there is momentum, everyone is full of fighting spirit, at least before seeing the Luftwaffe fighter group!

   "The Germans are coming!" In the distance, where the sky and water meet, a group of dense black spots appeared in front of the British. Then quickly connected into a black straight line. As the distance approaches, these straight lines continue to expand and become a black ribbon.

"God! The Germans have so many planes?!" When the distance approached again, George, who was at a higher position, saw the scene that made him feel south for life. Unfolding at the end, they gradually covered the sky over the Strait of Dover like a black curtain.

At the forefront are hundreds of fighter jets, and behind the fighter jets is a group of twin-engine bomber groups which are also composed of squadrons~lightnovelpub.net~ and at the rear of the group is the bomber group. George swears that he I have never seen such a huge bomber group. Even when a large-scale air attack is launched on the frontal battlefield, there is no aircraft group that can match the German aircraft group in front of you, especially those huge heavy bombers that look like mammoths in the sky. George never thought After at least three squadrons of heavy bombers gathered together, it would be so shocking, and an unmatched feeling came from George's heart!

"Damn it, I'm afraid I might never go back this time." Looking at the ever-extending German fleet in front of him, James, the ace veteran who has been fighting in the air on the Western Front for a year and hasn't died, shook his hands and feet coldly. Joystick in. To be honest, what he hates and fears most is to concentrate a huge number of aircraft in a relatively small airspace to engage in a head-on battle, because such a battle minimizes the effect of personal combat experience and technical level. It's just a game with more airplanes, fierce firepower and thick protection! It means that the exquisite swordsmanship competition has turned into a head-to-head battle on the battlefield of the cold weapon era.

   At the moment of the collision, you don’t know how many people shot at you, let alone evaded. All you can do is to hand over your fate to God, and then use a machine gun to blast any target that appears in your vision! And this time, even more unfortunately, James's squadron happened to be the spearhead of the British fleet, pointing straight to the center of the German fleet! A few minutes later, the old bird was surrounded by German airplanes on the front and back. The bullets swept his airplane like raindrops, and then cut his body into two parts!
