Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 3244 Bombing London
The second-level air defense alert issued by Churchill's cabinet at the beginning did not attract the attention of the British.Similar to the situation in the United States, the British who experienced World War II are generally war-weary. Most of them believe that the war is over and it is time for them to live for themselves and their families.As for Great Britain dominating the world, they are happy to see it, but that is all.Based on this concept, the British generally believe that the so-called anti-China alliance formed by the government, the United States and Japan is because Churchill has nothing to do.Moreover, many people directly think that "this is a crazy and stupid decision" when it comes to forming an alliance with Japan, the former enemy.

Of course, the opposition of the British public was not binding on Churchill, which was the prerogative of the war cabinet.Namely, Churchill could re-arm Great Britain whenever he deemed it necessary.

The air defense siren was sounded again, and upon hearing the siren, the first reaction of the vast majority of British people was to think that there was some kind of exercise or that something had gone wrong.The special terrain of Great Britain and the aftermath of World War II have given the British people such an inertial thinking that even if Britain has an enemy now, it can only be Germany.But were the Germans capable of repeating the bombing of London?As long as the second lieutenant pays attention to the world situation, he will definitely answer: absolutely impossible.

Not only the British people doubted the correctness of the air defense warning, but also the British soldiers who were ordered to carry out air defense missions were generally skeptical.Because they really couldn't figure out which country in Europe, besides Germany, could threaten Britain and have the strength to bomb London.

The sluggish response of the people and the army made Dawding feel anxious and at the same time feel helpless and terrified.In the past twenty or ten minutes, when a Chinese fighter plane appeared in the sky over London and began to drop leaflets, the British finally realized that the air defense warning was real and correct. Immediately, the streets of London were boiling.

"Enemy plane!" "Chinese fighter plane!" "Run! The Chinese are here to bomb—"

…The British are no strangers to the national flag of the Republic of China.After all, in this time and space, China is the main force in defeating the evil Axis powers.In addition, the United Kingdom later joined the anti-China alliance. In order to win public opinion, the Churchill cabinet spared no expense to exaggerate the threat of China and the reasons why the United Kingdom must join the anti-China alliance in the major media. This makes it difficult for the British not to recognize the Chinese flag. .Therefore, almost immediately, they identified the nationality of the fighter that suddenly appeared over London, and then thought of the anti-China alliance. How could they not know that the air defense alarm was sounded against the Chinese fighter.

The pilot of the first Golden Eagle to appear over London was a squadron leader of the Air Force Fleet of the Wudao Tianwang aircraft carrier, named Zheng Chengyun, from Taiwan Province of China.

He was known for his excellent driving skills and calm personality, so Chen Shichang personally named him to be responsible for the task of throwing leaflets.

Speaking of it, Chen Shichang was quite benevolent, he did not launch any surprise attack, but used the method of courtesy first and soldiers later, to leave enough time for the British people to hide in the air defense measures.Otherwise, if they follow the example of the Germans and make surprise attacks at every turn, it is certain that a large number of civilian casualties will be caused.

After the air-raid siren sounded, Churchill did not enter the air-raid shelter immediately, but walked out of the prime minister's residence in Downing Street, stood on the street and looked up to the sky.

Churchill still had certain illusions in his heart at this time, that is, he hoped that the Chinese bombing was only a demonstration, and that there would not be many fighters actually participating in the attack.It can be seen that Slim's words still had a certain impact on him. He also pinned his hopes on the lack of range of the Chinese fighter jets, and the so-called air strikes were just a show.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, please enter the air-raid shelter immediately, the streets are too dangerous," Churchill had just walked to the center of the street and raised his neck, when his head of guard came over with a few men and asked him to hide in the air-raid shelter immediately.

"It doesn't matter, the Chinese are just throwing leaflets. It seems that the Chinese still have some scruples," Churchill said, with a confident look.And just after he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.Just at the end of his field of vision, one after another fighter planes appeared from behind the building. "One, two—" Churchill subconsciously counted in his heart. When he silently counted to seventeen, there was a "snap", and the newly lit cigar in his hand fell to the ground, and his feet staggered. Almost fell.

"Your Excellency! Help Your Excellency Prime Minister go to the air-raid shelter, hurry up!" The chief guard was very good at seizing the opportunity, and he immediately shouted.

A group of people surrounded Churchill and entered the air-raid shelter. Not long after they entered the air-raid shelter, there was a violent explosion.Churchill leaned on the wall, felt the vibration from the wall, and then heard the explosion sound coming from the southwest direction, and that was the largest military airport in London. Could not utter a word.

There are more than two hundred fighters, half of which are Golden Eagle fighters.Therefore, although Dowding's response was very timely and he dispatched the air force to take off to meet the enemy almost immediately, the effect was almost zero.

In this time and space, Britain, because of the experience of abandoning its homeland and migrating to India, its military industry is much weaker than that of that time and space.After all, just one migration and one return will consume a lot of time.Moreover, when in Great Britain, because of the crazy bombing of the Luftwaffe, the British basically had no space for scientific research.Reflected in the air force's combat power, most of the British fighters rely on imports from other former allies, and their most advanced fighters are actually the Baiji that was exchanged from China with the Z Fleet.You must know that in China, the Baiji fighter jets have been replaced by golden eagles. The reason why they have not been eliminated from active service is that China's fighter jet production capacity is limited and it is impossible to replace all the golden eagles for the active troops.

Baiji dolphins are instantly killed when they encounter golden eagles, not to mention the Hurricane fighter jets developed by the British themselves and the Mustangs purchased from the United States.

The squadron of the Chinese escort Golden Eagle fleet rushing to the front was Zheng Chengyun's squadron, commanded by the deputy squadron leader Gao Daguang.

The military airport in London was the preferred target for this bombing mission, so when Zheng Chengyun was flying to downtown London, Gao Daguang took his brothers to the largest London airport in London.

It has to be said that perhaps due to the perennial fighting with the Luftwaffe, the quality of the British Air Force pilots is relatively high.From receiving the order to flying the plane, the fastest British pilot only took less than 10 minutes.However, air combat is more than just the quality of soldiers and fighting will, the performance of fighters is equally important or even more important.

The first British pilot to take off was named Brooke, and he also became the first British pilot to die in this air battle.
