Chapter 1939 Storm VS Lightning 2

Another problem also forced the British to concentrate bomber troops, that is, the quality of the British bomber crew is too low, and the inaccurate bomb throwing is the biggest problem. Also driving the FB27 bomber, the British bomber crew at its peak could enter the battlefield from the height of the mast to bomb German battleships with dense air defense firepower on the ground.

And now? For more than 60% of British bomber pilots, they have to face dense air defense artillery. They have never even experienced shallow dive drops below 150 meters. For the other 20% of British bomber pilots, bombs are OK at this altitude, but the bombs are estimated to fall somewhere within a circle with a radius of 200 meters. Pilots who can truly achieve more accurate bombing are currently estimated to be less than 10%. According to the standards of Trenchard commanding the British Air Force to air strikes on the Mediterranean German fleet, the bomber units that can meet this standard now do not exceed 4%!

Although he was planning to harass, in some key areas, facing some key opponents, such as German car transport teams and artillery teams, the British Airways still need to concentrate their troops to launch a surprise attack! There are also frequent cases of concentrated 3 to 4 bomber squadrons on a certain battlefield. These group bomber squadrons are the sharpest swords in the hands of the British, and the counterattacks launched by the Germans also start from here!

"It's a good weather today." Colonel Dai Lun sat in his fb27 bomber and looked at the clouds below. Today is really good for the British bomber troops who are preparing to steal and take a wave. First of all, today is a sunny day, well, there is no need to mention this. Secondly, although today is sunny, the cloud height is very low, only less than 3,000 meters. For the fb27 bomber under heavy load, it is very difficult to reach an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. The lower clouds can provide cover for the aircraft. At least the air defense observation post on the ground is very difficult to find aircraft above the clouds, unless you have a cloud-penetrating radar in the second battle...

As for the specific tactical arrangements, the British were also unique. Perhaps it was stimulated by the "Torch Massacre" that the Bavarian Air Force suddenly came to the Western Front last time and launched. The British were afraid of directly hitting the opponent's anti-aircraft ambush circle or being ambushed by German fighter units with a numerical advantage. Therefore, this time, the British were very careful in their actions, such as this group of raven bombers commanded by Colonel Dell. This group consists of 4 parts.

Among them, as the core, there are naturally three squadrons with a total of 48 FB27 bombers, and two fighter squadrons responsible for cover, a total of 27 camels and DH8 fighters. In addition, there is a reconnaissance aircraft squadron and a warning squadron. The former is modified by fighter jets reducing weapons and increasing fuel tanks, while the latter is improved by aircraft like DH9. It does not carry weapons, but has relatively complete radio communication equipment.

After the war begins, the reconnaissance aircraft first enters the battlefield to investigate the areas that may be ambushed. These reconnaissance aircraft are generally injured by three pilots, one is a pilot, the other is a radio personnel serving as a navigator, and the third is an observer with rich reconnaissance experience. They will judge whether there is an ambush by comparing ground scenes, such as ruts, traces of personnel, and other clues. At the same time, confirm valuable targets.

Subsequently, after deciding the airspace security, the bomber troops will enter the battlefield under the cover of the fighter troops. The fighter troops will also be divided into two groups, one of which is alert at high altitude and the other is responsible for cover. At this time, after improvements, the airplanes of the warning team with more oil volumes are scattered around, and an outer cordon is arranged to defend against the opponent's sneak attacks.

As the command of the entire aircraft group, Colonel Daren's FB27 bomber has also been improved, and the aircraft has no bombs at all. The huge bullet cabin of this aircraft has been improved into a crew cabin. The FB27 bomber originally carried 5 people has now been put into 8 people, equipped with 3 radio transmission equipment, used for navigation, team liaison and contact with the command center. In order to prevent interception, the wavelengths and passwords used by different contact methods are different.

The British deployment was actually quite effective. At least a few days ago, the British's relatively complete warning system made the German air force fail to attack several sneak attacks. But there is a saying that the devil is one foot higher! The Bavarian Air Force also played this arrangement in the British back then. Now, when the offense and defense are different, the Bavarian Air Force naturally has a way to deal with this system. And this time, the raven fleet encountered it!

"There is a large-scale aircraft group in the southeast direction." On a hill, something like a group of huge speakers pointed obliquely towards the sky. Behind this listening group of more than 5 meters is a group of German Air Force technicians who perform early warning tasks through special headphones and sound waves. Of course, if it is just a single device, the error and error rate will be very high. Therefore, the Germans used multiple sets of equipment and complex telephone communication equipment to establish an early warning network. Now, this system has been used outside the German army and is specifically used to perform air reconnaissance tasks when visual early warning is inconvenient.

The selection position of these listeners is also very important, at least the side must be quieter. Moreover, the terrain does not block the spread of sound. If these listeners are just ears, then the command system that collects these intelligence is the brain of this system. They are responsible for screening and processing information, and are also equipped with direct reconnaissance aircraft troops. If you encounter uncertain things, wouldn’t it be enough to just go and take a look?

As for the accuracy rate? Just be careless, according to wartime statistics, if you only rely on this system, the probability of a British bomber group entering and leaving German airspace is about 30%... The efficiency is even less than that of an aviation observation post. After all, sound is too easily affected. But sometimes, for example, today, when the cloud height is too low, you can only rely on things to discover. And for the Luftwaffe, sometimes, as long as you can catch the other side once, it is enough!

"Immediately arrange the tracking and guidance crew, and the Shicha Falcon Brigade is ready to attack. If it is determined to be a large bomber fleet, then immediately notify the Fox Hunter Wing on standby at Airport No. 135. Tell them that the horn of the counterattack was blown directly." At the aviation command in Brussels, Major General Harrell issued an attack order.
