After the German bomber group flew over the Thames, they all dispersed immediately, and they rushed towards the sky above London like a dark cloud covering the sun. The bombers were flanked by Destroyer Bf110 fighter jets, and the Messerschmitt Bf109 formed a three-dimensional structure at high altitude behind them. In the offensive formation, seeing only one Spitfire coming to fight, two Bf109 fighters immediately formed a two-plane formation and pounced down from the sky.
At this time, all German pilots believed that the Spitfire coming to fight was like a speck of dust, and the exhaust smoke of the German bomber group could drown it.
Zhou Zhihan completely ignored the two Mei-types coming towards him, and avoided it with a simple and extreme side roll. The A214 Spitfire flew to the lower left side of a He111 bomber, where the pilot and gunner could only stare. After a burst of fire, all the high-explosive incendiary bombs hit the bomber's fuel tank, causing the resin in the automatic sealing fuel tank to instantly catch fire and explode before it could melt, blocking the two Meijis that were following closely. The A214 Spitfire had already pulled the trigger. He jumped up, flew over the explosion zone, then rolled to change the direction of the nose, flying towards another bomber, completely leaving the two Messerschmitts behind. By this time, the German bomber group had dispersed, and it was his big When the killing begins.
"How did he do that?"
The pilots of the two Messerschmitts were stunned. They could not understand why the A214 Spitfire did not stall and fall despite its unnatural maneuvers.
This is unscientific!
It goes against aerodynamics, goes against...
Just when the two Messerschmitt pilots were still discussing the unscientific maneuvers performed by the A214 Spitfire, the A214 Spitfire fired another burst, hitting the belly of a Reaper Stuka bomber and then pulling up. , jumped, detached from the top of the bomber, and threw away the other two Meijis that were following in pursuit.
Zhou Zhihan's pull-up jump maneuver left the Messerschmitt pilots who were chasing him helpless. Because they couldn't pull up and jump at any time like the A214 Spitfire, they could only block the two bombers in front. They had to go around sideways, and at the same time, they had to avoid being affected by the bomber's explosion. By the time they went around, the A214 Spitfire had already flown beyond their reach and reached the key position of another bomber to launch an attack.
At this time, many May pilots recognized the A214 Spitfire. Seeing that he was the only British aircraft coming to intercept, they all thought they had a chance to shoot down this ace, so they surrounded him one after another.
The A214 Spitfire shot down three bombers in a row, immediately attracting the attention of Major Helmut Vick, who was commanding the Messerschmitt escort fleet in the air. He took out his binoculars and saw the A214 Spitfire clearly, and immediately With one push, his new fighter Bf109F0 separated from the battle group and headed straight for the A214 Spitfire.
There were still panicked people fleeing in all directions on the street. Those brave ones who had already entered the air-raid shelter stood at the entrance of the air-raid shelter and looked at the sky. When they saw three German bombers exploding in the air and falling one after another, they immediately let out bursts of cheers. , so that the people hiding in the cave feel a little comfort in their hearts.
The sky is still red and bright, and the burning clouds are like blood.
Flying over London, a group of German bombers without the threat of artillery fire dropped bombs at low altitudes. Bombs roared onto the ground one after another. Explosions occurred one after another, the ground shook, and the whole of London was shaking.
The efforts made by the A214 Spitfire were only a drop in the bucket. More bombers swarmed over London, scattered and dropped bombs one after another.
The first target to be bombed was the arsenal on the bank of the Thames River. The British Army's bullets, artillery shells and Royal Air Force ammunition were all produced here. The bombs dropped by more than a dozen unscrupulous bombers directly hit the target and suddenly rolled over. Thick smoke and raging fire were like a huge rocket, soaring straight into the bloody sky of London. The momentum was so shocking that people dozens of kilometers away could see it, thinking it was the end of the world, and hid in air-raid shelters one after another.
The docks and warehouses in London's port area provide supplies for the vast majority of people in the city. They are all transported here from outside and then unloaded. More than a dozen bombers flew over, dropping incendiary bombs, and ferocious fires flooded the entire dock. Many of them were Workers who had no time to escape at the dock were forced to jump into the water, but even water surface incendiary bombs can burn. People who couldn't hold their breath in the water were burned as soon as they showed their heads...
Victoria, Albert Head, West India docks and commercial docks were not immune. Countless bombs fell as bombs, ships sank, bridges collapsed, dead bodies were everywhere, cranes fell into the water, and the fuel leaked on the water ignited. Immediately the poisonous snake started to twist and burn, burning the water red, like tongues of fire leaping.
The bombers flying from behind no longer need to indicate targets. The pilots only need to see thick smoke and fire on the ground to drop bombs and launch round after round of bombings.
German bombers' successive raids quickly reduced the streets and overcrowded houses in London's East End to rubble. The injured were wailing in the ruins. Many broken limbs were scattered on the ground. Internal organs could be seen everywhere, and there was blood everywhere. , there were dead bodies everywhere, and the whole of London had turned into a sea of fire.
Six bombers went to bomb the Thames Bridge. Without any obstruction, the bombers flew at low altitude and accurately dropped each bomb on the bridge and exploded. In just a few minutes, the beautiful Thames Bridge disappeared from the river. The vehicles and people on the bridge were buried under the water along with the bridge.
The German bombers flew around in the sky like a group of tyrants, causing disaster wherever they went.
For many people, the disaster and blow came too suddenly. Those who did not have time to enter the underground air-raid shelters could only lie down when the bombs exploded. After the first wave of bombings passed, people desperately got up and rushed to the surrounding areas. Escape, find bunkers, self-rescue in wartime that had been practiced many times before, were all forgotten.
Everyone knows that the German bombing this time was definitely not an accidental bombing. People believe that after nightfall, more German planes will attack and more artillery shells will fall, so they all start from the fact that there are not many bombers. They fled outside the city.
Although the purpose of the Germans this time was not to kill or injure people, they did not avoid killing and injuring people. Whether it was private houses, commercial districts, hospitals or schools, they dropped bombs separately.
When the German Air Force flew to the Thames River and the British air defense forces opened fire to defend themselves, Admiral Dowding finally knew that he had made a big mistake. So in panic, he ordered the Royal Air Force guarding the airport or radar station to desperately Back to defend London.
After a brief panic, Admiral Dowding quickly calmed down, and then ordered Major General Marion, the commander of the 12th Group, to immediately fly all his fighters to London.
But it was too late.
