"We also considered the weather conditions. The clouds were very low and the fleet set off early. Using the cover of the rising sun and clouds, we could easily deceive the German air defense observation posts. This method was applicable before. What happened today?" Trenchard said in disbelief.

"Now, immediately order our frontier airport to prepare to recycle all the aircraft fleets and the fighter troops will respond. It seems that we need to readjust the plan." Trenchard ordered.

"But Marshal, our second wave of aircraft is still preparing at the airport." said a staff officer.

"It's okay, I guess there are not many planes that can be returned. Let the fleet that is preparing to take off go to prepare the apron. Give the runway and the main apron, so that's it." Trenchard said without hesitation. All of this has been a common solution for conditioned reflexes in several years of war. The damaged bomber troops must return to an airport with relatively close locations and well-equipped facilities. Only in this way can the plane successfully land and not be damaged, and the injured pilot can also be sent to a better logistics hospital next to it as soon as possible. That's right!

However, this time, Trenchard was really wrong, because the situation has changed now. The Luftwaffe on the Western Front was mainly defense, but now, the Imperial Eagles, which have gained a huge advantage, have shown their sharp claws. From now on, the main force of the British Expeditionary Force's aviation team can only be calculated in days!

The British knew that the weather was good today and the clouds were relatively low, which could effectively reduce the effect of visual reconnaissance. However, the British knew that they were judging others by themselves, and the Germans knew that they were also! If there was no distinction between the real and fake airports of the British frontline before, then now, just follow the route of British bombers' retreat directly with the past? The reconnaissance planes followed the bombers at medium and low altitudes, and then guided the bomber formation flying above the clouds. This is no problem!

The most tragic thing about the British is that they did not build a systematic air warning and command system. It is not that the British do not have this technology, but because they did not need it before! So under the current circumstances, when German bombers came with the situation, the British not only could not stop the systematic confrontation, but even couldn't figure out how many bombers the Germans came!

"I discovered the fox's nest! About 30 kilometers northwest of Crozier! There you can see a hill close to the woods! It's right behind! Oh my God, the British were so careful. They laid a narrow-gauge railway in the woods to transport supplies, and the warehouses were built on the terrain. I thought this was a fake airport!" At this time, a German reconnaissance plane following the British bomber first discovered the target.

"Okay, brother, Hawkeye's mission has been completed, and the rest depends on us." Not far behind the reconnaissance aircraft, a group of light bombers quickly crossed the British front line. They then flew to the target quickly under the guidance of the reconnaissance aircraft. However, this time, their main task was not to use bombs to attack the opponent, but to guide the target for the bombers behind them through cigarette tanks. Different colors of cigarette tanks indicate different targets. The red indicates that this is a hidden hangar, and the yellow indicates that this may be a machinery factory or warehouse. The blue cigarette tank indicates that this may be a dormitory of the airport personnel. As for the green, it means that there may be anti-aircraft guns nearby!

The risk of this squad was originally quite large, because usually they had to confirm the target by attacking fighter jets and anti-aircraft guns. However, this time seemed to be an exception. They followed the British bomber group into the airfield and were not attacked before throwing down cigarette cans!

The reason is a bit ridiculous. The British did not expect that the Germans' counterattack was so fast. On one hand, a large number of people were busy moving the second wave of released aircraft to the temporary apron. The weight of the aircraft filled with bombs and fuel increased greatly, so it was more troublesome to move...

"It's the German plane! When the cigarette cans of various colors and incendiary bombs were thrown down alternately, the British finally organized their own air-fire 2-pound machine guns and 12-pound medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns, raised their muzzles and fired a series of shells into the air. One round of shells drew an arc in the air that predicted danger and passed by the German plane. The German plane responsible for the marking did not fight in a fight, and was ready to withdraw from the battlefield after completing the mission. When the British had just breathed a sigh of relief, the loud noise from the sky was like thunder that made everyone fall into an ice cave! This was the bell from the doomsday, and this was the prelude to the storm of destruction!

Two squadrons of K8 three-engine bombers and two squadrons of K6 twin-engine bombers flew over the airport under the cover of two squadrons of fighters. At this time, what appeared before them was a chaotic and almost unprepared airport! The FB27 bombers that had just landed had not been transferred yet. At the end of the airport runway, a bunch of planes gathered together, fire trucks and ambulances were running around. They needed to put out the fire for these damaged planes and rescue the previous wounded people. On the backup apron not far from the runway, bombers that were originally preparing to take off were like lambs to be slaughtered. A group of British people were eager to cover these precious war machines with camouflage nets.

"This airport is enough to accommodate four squadrons of aircraft." A German bomber pilot said as he looked at the airport below. It was like a predator looking at prey, thinking about where to start. The British's air defense firepower finally recovered. The dense shells flew into the air, but when the elderly who had fought in the Balkans and Asia Minor drove, the British performed worse than before this time!

"The opponent's air defense firepower is very fierce, but the only thing that is not accurate is that it may be due to the interference of the terrain and the woods. While interfering with our reconnaissance, the fire boundary and command system of the opponent's artillery were also disturbed. They gave people the feeling that it was very scattered. All the artillery groups were almost fighting on their own, and the medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns and rapid-fire guns did not form an effective fire net. When the cover of the fighter launched a suppression, the opponent's air defense firepower was quickly suppressed.

The 70 bombers were divided into two teams. The two medium bombers rushed to the fleet that had just landed at the end of the airport runway and the bombers on the backup apron next to them. The other two squadrons' k8 bombers flew to the hangar, warehouse and soldiers' residence. This was the first time the German heavy bombers were shown in front of the British Army.
