Sitting on the toilet seat, lighting a cigarette in the dark, Zhou Zhihan fell into deep thought.
Applying fluorescence to the belly of a bomber is equivalent to telling the Germans, "He is here, you bomb him." This is naked murder.
Who wants to kill me?
Churchill?
Are you afraid that I will reveal secrets?
possible.
But then Zhou Zhihan overturned his judgment. It hadn't even been two days since the German Air Force bombed London on the night of the 24th. Qiu was so busy every day that he didn't even have time to eat or sleep. How could he have time to spend all his time murdering himself? Now the war between the two sides is in full swing, and his presence is a strong deterrent to the German Air Force. Qiu is not stupid enough to destroy his martial arts at a critical moment.
If after the Battle of London is over, Qiu Youyi and Zhou Zhihan would absolutely believe it based on the British's urinary temperament. Now, it is 90% impossible.
Could it be General Hugh Dowding?
Zhou Zhihan shook his head again. Daoding did not have any conflict of interest with him. Of course, he could not murder him because of Karen.
Air Secretary?
It is also impossible for him to donate fighter jets to China and destroy his friendship.
It is even more impossible for Major General Parker. As a Chinese, he can never threaten Major General Parker's position.
The Hampton Bomber Group in Norfolk belongs to the defense area of the 12th Fighter Group and is under the control of Major General Marion. He and Marion have met very rarely, and there will be no hatred. Moreover, he led the team to successfully bomb Berlin this time. Marion There is also light on the face.
Zhou Zhihan clearly remembered that when he arrived at the Norfolk bombing group last night, the bombers were already ready for him.
Before departure, out of habit, he checked the bomber again, and his palm accidentally touched the belly of the bomber. No fluorescence was found at that time, otherwise he would have found it in the cabin.
Could it be that before takeoff, when he and all the pilots went to the back of the plane to urinate as a routine, someone had tampered with the plane?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhihan concluded that during those five minutes when all pilots were doing their routine, the bomber he was flying had been tampered with.
There is no doubt that the airport ground staff put fluorescent lights on the belly of his bomber. At that time, they were worried that the lights would attract German planes, so the bombers flew blind when they took off. There were no lights at the airport, so the fluorescent lights on the belly of the aircraft would not be detected.
The people who framed him were also very careful in their planning. If his bomber was hit in Berlin that night, under such intense and brutal artillery fire, everyone on board would have no chance of survival; if he was lucky enough to fly back to England in the daytime, he would be covered in fluorescent light. will not be discovered.
Also, it was his first time to go to the Norfolk Bomber Base, so there was no way he could offend anyone at the airport, and before he arrived, few people knew he was leading the team.
Who applied the fluorescence?
There were a lot of ground crews at that time, and I can't remember who maintained their bombers. I can confirm this if I have a chance.
Zhou Zhihan remembered the appearance of the person who finally drove the bomber into the camouflage net. He had been paying attention to that person's eyes at that time. The person did not look at the belly of the bomber from beginning to end. If this person was smeared with fluorescent powder, his eyes would not have been all the time. Not even glancing at the belly of the aircraft, because that's human nature.
Zhou Zhihan could conclude that the person who applied fluorescent light to the belly of his bomber was instructed by someone.
Who could be the mastermind and instigator behind this?
Is it really because he is too popular, his big tree attracts the wind, and he is jealous of others?
Or maybe he is too famous and the German spies at the airport want to kill him?
This is impossible. If there are German spies at the airport, they should inform the Germans that the British are going to bomb Berlin.
Neither is this.
Zhou Zhihan denied it again. Only ten minutes before departure, all the pilots knew that the destination was Berlin, but the airport staff did not know it at the time. This was a top-secret mission, and no pilot dared to reveal the destination.
The more I think and analyze, the more confusing this matter becomes...
My head hurts!
Zhou Zhihan smoked several cigarettes in a row and couldn't figure out any more clues for the time being. He could only warn himself to pay attention in the future. The occurrence of this incident also foreshadowed that he should leave the UK as soon as possible.
After sleeping for two or three hours, Zhou Zhihan didn't tell Karen about the incident at noon. He didn't want Karen to worry.
During the meal, Zhou Zhihan discussed with Karen that since she was pregnant, she should no longer stay in the frontline fighter unit and should go home to rest.
Karen disagreed. He wanted to be with Zhou Zhihan and not go anywhere. She smiled and said, isn't there an old saying in China: When you marry a dog, follow the dog; when you marry the chicken, follow the chicken. From now on, wherever you are, I will follow you. Have a home...
…
Berlin!
House of Parliament.
Hitler's face looked like winter frost.
Before the Battle of Britain began, Göring swore to the Führer and all Germans that it would be absolutely impossible for British planes to fly to Berlin, let alone drop bombs in Berlin. At that time, he also jokingly said that if the British Fly here, you call me farmer.
Everyone knows that Hitler always mocked Qiu as a farmer, so much so that many German front-line pilots liked to mock Qiu by painting penguins carrying handbags and umbrellas under their arms on their fighter jets.
Now British bombers not only flew over Berlin, but also dropped bombs. Although the actual damage caused was not large, this air raid caused great panic in Berlin.
Berlin did not have underground air-raid shelters everywhere like London. British citizens went to sleep in air-raid shelters at night, letting German bombers roar past in the sky.
After the bombing at night, everyone in Berlin fell into a state of extreme panic in the morning. Even if there were a few big birds flying towards Berlin in the distance, it would scare the Berliners into running around and become a mess.
As a result, people blamed Göring for the British bombing of Berlin. Angry and panicked people began to call Göring "the farmer" behind his back. Didn't they say that the British planes would not come to Berlin? Now, Not only did the British planes come, but they also dropped bombs on Berlin. How should Goering, a farmer, explain this?
Faced with Hitler's question, Göring vowed: "There will never be another air raid like this in the future."
…
That day, the Luftwaffe never visited the skies over London again. Goering did not retaliate against London because the British visited Berlin last night. His fighter-bomber units continued to launch fierce attacks on British airports, arsenals, and sector radar bases. bombardment.
Churchill and Dowding did not wait for the German bombers to visit London, but one day later, Liverpool waited for the crazy bombing of the Luftwaffe.
Goering vented his anger on another iconic British city, Liverpool.
On the evening of August 26th.
The Luftwaffe's 3rd Luftwaffe carried out the first of a series of planned raids on Liverpool
That night, the German Air Force dropped 144 tons of explosive bombs and 381 incendiary bombs on Liverpool's head, turning the entire city into a sea of flames and causing numerous casualties among citizens.
Compared with the earth-shattering explosive bombs when they exploded, the most terrifying thing was the dispersing incendiary bombs, which had a devastating impact on Liverpool. Each dispersing incendiary bomb contained 36 1-kilogram incendiary bombs, and each incendiary bomb was from After being dropped from the air, it explodes at an altitude of 800 meters, turning a radius of four to five kilometers into a hell on earth like a sea of fire, leaving no wood behind wherever it goes.
In order to appease the citizens of Berlin, the Luftwaffe's Third Air Force was deployed in full force, and several bomber groups were borrowed from the navy to launch a devastating attack on Liverpool.
Goering threatened that the RAF would always remember the cost of their bombing of Berlin by turning Liverpool into a ghost town on earth.
That night, Churchill decided to continue bombing Berlin and increase the size of the bombers. He sent six bombing squadrons to retaliate against Berlin with explosive bombs and dispersing incendiary bombs.
In the early morning, Zhou Zhihan, who had been teaching rookies to fly for two consecutive days and barely slept a wink, received an order again. He was to lead an air raid on Berlin. The fleet that carried out this mission was the Hampton bombers stationed in Norfolk on the east coast of England. Brigade.
After receiving the order, Zhou Zhihan immediately flew to the Norfolk bomber base. He wanted to uncover the mystery tonight and see who the person who wanted to murder him was and whether he would mess with his bomber again.
Zhou Zhihan believed that those who wanted to harm him would never give up.
Arriving at the bomber base, under the guidance of the tower, the A214 Spitfire landed and drove under the camouflage net to hide.
Twenty minutes before departure, all bombers were driven onto the runway one after another.
The airport was dark, and under the cold moonlight, Zhou Zhihan walked towards his Hampton bomber.
