When the machine gunner looked into the air, Zhou Zhihan secretly said "Oops" and quickly turned toward the reflection and pulled up. He was flying a few hundred meters above the bomber. Logically speaking, he would not be discovered, but this far away The sudden light may reflect light from the belly of the A214 Spitfire, arousing the other party's suspicion.
"Lyman, I just felt like there was a dark shadow in the sky, like a fighter jet." The bomber's rear gunner said loudly to the pilot.
"Shut up Kahn!" The bomber pilot looked at the fire rising in the distance on the right. He was thinking and judging his current position. He was a little annoyed when he was interrupted. "If there are really fighter jets up there, it's God! If it's a British guy , do you still have time to talk to me?"
Machine gunner Kahn was a little aggrieved: "Damn Lyman, I really saw a flash of light in the sky just now!" As he said that, he searched around in the air, but this time he saw nothing. He rubbed his eyes and looked again.
"You're scared to death, Kahn!" Another bomber pilot, Cole, grinned and laughed at his companion, looking to the right, "There are fires all around from time to time, and a halo will naturally appear in your eyes. Even if God keeps staring at the firelight and then suddenly looks up into the darkness, he will be dazzled by Kahn!"
There was a radio communication link between the two He123 bombers. They were temporarily deployed for support. They were not in the same wing as the other 22 bombers. The radios between different wings did not have the same frequency, so they fell behind during the flight. So these two bombers fell behind. The bombers can only stay together to keep warm.
Seeing that the two bombers did not deviate from the route and continued to fly towards London, Zhou Zhihan secretly said "lucky", and then he felt that his back was wet and cold again.
Finally, two bombers entered London.
Sitting in the cockpit, the roar of the engine could be heard in his ears. Zhou Zhihan could also hear his heart pounding. He held the intercom and said, "General!"
Admiral Hugh Dowding, who was waiting in the basement, and one minute seemed like a thousand years, immediately said: "Colonel Zhou!"
"Wow!"
Prime Minister Churchill, Air Force Secretary, and Major General Parker almost simultaneously stared at the communicator in General Hugh Dowding's hand.
"Two bombers have just entered the sky over London. Order, the anti-aircraft artillery 4 kilometers east of the ancient St. Gall's Church in Cripplegate is now ready. When I give the order, shoot into the sky immediately! But remember, without my order , don’t turn on the anti-aircraft lights. Don’t turn on the lights even when firing!”
"Roger that!" After Admiral Hugh Dowding said this, he picked up the phone with his other hand and issued an order to the ground anti-aircraft artillery troops stationed in London to be ready to fire at any time and not to turn on the lights during the entire process.
Zhou Zhihan was flying over the two bombers, watching as the two bombers that were about to change history were about to enter 4 kilometers away from the ancient St. Gall's Church in Crepogate. Suddenly, there was an irresistible force that made him immediately Holding the communicator: "Get ready! Countdown, 3, 2, 1, fire!"
Zhou Zhihan's voice echoed throughout the basement on the intercom. When he said to fire, General Hugh Dowding shouted to the ground troops: "Fire!"
"boom!"
Anti-aircraft positions near and around the ancient St. Gall's Church in Kripogate opened fire. The artillery positions were ordered not to turn on searchlights. They didn't know where the plane came from. Anyway, they did whatever the superiors told them to do.
"Oh! Damn it, we discovered Cole. The British opened fire. Where is this? Damn it..." Pilot Lyman saw a sudden burst of artillery fire in front of him. He knew he had been discovered. He immediately shouted loudly and stood side by side. The pilot of another bomber flew.
"Oh, damn! Where are we at Lyman..." Cole, the pilot of another bomber, was already dizzy and following Lyman when he suddenly saw gunfire from the ground soaring into the sky. He suddenly panicked, "Let's turn back, Lyman." Man!"
Lyman kept dodging ground fire: "Hell, I don't know where this is. Cole will be punished if he doesn't drop the bomb if he goes back."
Cole pressed the stick left and right to avoid the damn artillery fire: "Let's just throw the bomb in this damn place and return immediately. There are no British anti-aircraft guns on the original road. The artillery fire in front is getting denser and denser. Let's fly forward." We are dead for Lehmann, so we have to throw away these unlucky bombs and turn back, otherwise, in ten minutes, the damn British guys will chase us in fighter jets."
"But I don't know where this is, Cole..."
"Damn Lyman, a shell flew past my cabin. If I don't throw the bomb and turn back, we are really going to see God!" Kahn, Lyman's rear machine gunner, is a rookie and has never seen After such a battle, he was scared to death as soon as the cannon fired, so he immediately shouted in terror.
"Bombardier, drop the bomb immediately. After throwing it, we turn around and go back!" Lyman looked at the artillery fire in front of him becoming more and more intensive. He had no time to think about why the British didn't turn on the searchlight to the sky today and order the bombardier to drop the bomb.
"Woo..."
The two bombers did not dare to dive, and dropped bombs all at once. The whistling sound of the bombs was as heart-wrenching as the wails of ghosts, and they smashed towards the ground.
Zhou Zhihan was lagging behind the bomber at this time. When a shell in the belly of the bomber in front had just detached from the hook and fell, he immediately shouted: "General! The German bombers dropped bombs. Two bombers dropped bombs over London. Order to open air defense Light, I’ll take a picture of them!”
Prime Minister Churchill suddenly stood up, unable to conceal his excitement.
The other three people, like him, almost jumped with excitement. Now, they were waiting for news from the ground that the Germans had bombed London.
After Zhou Zhihan finished speaking, he lifted up into the air again, turned on the button switch of the camera gun, and prepared to take pictures from a high position.
Although the vision was blurry at night, the outlines of the two He123 dive bombers were unmistakable. With the firelight from the ground artillery bombardment, the serial numbers of the two bombers could be seen from time to time, as well as the vague appearance of the pilots in the aircraft cabin.
Ten seconds later, the ground troops' anti-aircraft lights were turned on, and streaks of snow-white light pierced the sky like sharp arrows.
"boom!"
"Boom boom boom..."
The bombs roared to the ground and exploded into huge fireballs.
The two bombers had no idea that they had caused a terrible disaster. They dropped aerial bombs on London and thus changed the course of World War II. They did not even know that there was a fighter jet in the sky, staring at them.
When the two bombers were about to drop their bombs, Zhou Zhihan pressed the machine gun firing button at a distance of 5 or 600 meters from the two bombers and continued to fire, while the camera gun continued to take pictures.
At this distance, the bomber cannot be attacked, but it cannot be seen from the photo. The technology at this time has not yet developed to this point.
The reason why Zhou Zhihan wanted to take pictures when he fired was to prevent others from saying that he had premeditated it.
Oh, it doesn’t make sense that your Spitfire only takes pictures but doesn’t shoot.
Watching enemy bombers bombing your city, you only take pictures but don't fire. Why?
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The A214 Spitfire fired continuously and took pictures, and "finally" hit the left wing of a bomber, and fireworks suddenly started on the wing.
Then, the bullets fired by the A214 were all wasted. Zhou Zhihan could only watch the two bombers turn around and return to their original route. All he could do was continue to follow and take pictures.
Bentley Abbey.
In the basement.
Churchill, Hugh Dowding, Air Secretary, and Major General Parker, all four looked excited. They each sat on a chair, staring at another telephone, waiting for the news from the ground forces in London to confirm that the Luftwaffe had bombed London. .
"Ding……"
Just as the bell rang, Admiral Hugh Dowding picked up the phone.
The voice of the commander of the ground forces in London came over the phone. He was almost crying, and he was a little panicked because of the inability to protect London: "General! London was bombed by the Luftwaffe, and there are residential areas in the Kripogate area. It was bombed, and the people suffered heavy casualties. The ancient St. Gales Church was razed to the ground. The fire soared into the sky, and the fire trucks had no time to put it out. The church was swallowed up by the fire..."
General Hugh Dowding forced himself to hold back the ecstasy in his heart, and said in a deep and trembling voice: "Order the troops to rescue the residents at all costs, and order all nearby fire trucks to rush to the scene of the accident..."
"Snapped!"
Admiral Hugh Dowding hung up the phone.
"yeah……"
Churchill and three others shook their fists in celebration.
A few minutes later.
Churchill: "Ask the female reporter from The Times to rush to the airport and wait for Colonel Zhou Zhihan to land. Let her take the photos and publish them in the newspaper tomorrow morning! Order the bomber units to prepare. We will bomb Berlin, tit for tat!"
