() Captain William Darcy is a veteran pilot. He has served on the Lancaster heavy bomber of the Royal Air Force for nearly four years. He has performed many bombing missions, bombing cities at night, and air raids on Tirpitz.

, you can see him all the way to the bombing of the Ruhr Dam.

The target of Berlin is no longer new to him. He had bombed the city as early as 1941 during the Battle of Britain. However, the previous air raids on Berlin were all at night. If someone asks, what is Berlin?

What does it look like, Mr. Darcy would probably answer.

"Berlin was dark, (except during the first air raid) with countless anti-aircraft searchlights. The anti-aircraft firepower was also very strong... What, what do you think the buildings in Berlin looked like? You could see a little bit when the bomb exploded,

But the time was too short and I couldn't see clearly. But this time, I must accurately drop the bomb on the German Reichstag."

But this time the bombing is different. This time the Royal Air Force's Lancaster heavy bombers will also bomb Berlin during the day. In fact, after the U.S. Army Air Forces began large-scale daytime bombing, the British have been paying attention to the Americans.

Bombing tactics, such as box formations, were copied by the Royal Air Force almost as soon as they appeared. However, the Royal Air Force's aircraft mainly flew at night and were not used many times.

843 Lancaster heavy bombers were arranged in a huge box formation with four levels above and below. Darcy's bomber was not conspicuous in the middle of the group. But in fact, he and some other Lancasters and other

The bombers are different. They are here to perform a special mission. The code name of this mission is "Yuanyang Tea". This extremely vulgar mission code name is said to be the name of a certain American general.

After learning the details of this plan, they proposed it. In order to make their enthusiastic allies happy, the British used this code name. Of course, such an operation code name also fully illustrates one point, that is, the Americans are all uneducated inferiors.

Man. The bombers that implemented this plan were specially modified. Their bombers had only one bomb in their specially-made magazine. This type of bomb was called a "tall cupboard."

The "Tallboy" was manufactured by the British Air Force during World War II and was dropped by specially modified "Lancaster" bombers. It was used to deal with the reinforced concrete fortifications and buildings of the Nazi German army. The bomb was 6.4 meters long and nearly 98 centimeters in diameter; from

Dropped from an altitude of 6,000 meters, it can blast a crater more than 20 meters deep and 30 meters in diameter.

This kind of bomb is so big that even though it has been modified, it cannot be completely contained in the magazine, and half of the bomb is exposed. Now the targets of these bombs are some iconic landmarks in Berlin.

Buildings, such as the Parliament Building and the Prime Minister's Office. After knowing the British plan, Ron thought in a wicked way: "If the Soviets invade Berlin in the future like they did in the original history, where will they put the red flag in the end?

?”

Several groups of US military P-47 fighter jets are flying high above the British bomber group. These aircraft are responsible for providing close protection for this huge group of aircraft. If there are German aircraft carrying air-to-air rockets or air-to-air missiles,

If they appear, they must disperse or destroy these aircraft before they attack.

At a farther distance, there were several large formations of US bombers. The large formations covered the sky and trailed long, silvery river-like tracks, which was really spectacular.

…

The German fighter jets intercepted were always attacked by American fighter jets at a lower altitude, and there were very few aircraft that could actually withstand the artillery fire and climb to the corresponding altitude. In general, the impact on the bomber group was

The damage was very limited. However, there were still some German fighter jets that achieved relatively good results.

For example, there was a group of BF-109s that were scattered by the P-51s that jumped down when they were protecting the JU88. After the group was broken up, some veterans understood that a solitary fighter plane could hardly cause damage to a group of bombers.

Threat, so they all went home. However, some rookies, encouraged by the concept of "loyalty to the Führer" after being separated from their teammates, continued to search for Allied bombers on their own.

An aircraft flying alone can more easily avoid a group of American fighter jets. The reason for this is simple: one aircraft is always more concealed than a hundred aircraft.

Therefore, some of these sporadic fighter jets were able to escape the search of the American fighter jets responsible for clearing the airspace and successfully approached the bomber group.

Under normal circumstances, the good luck of these fighter jets should have ended here. The self-defense firepower of a box-formation bomber group is not something that a few lonely fighter jets can challenge, not to mention, the pilots of these aircraft have only a few flying hours.

There is not necessarily a rookie who has a hundred hours.

But these rookies did something that stunned the bomber group. An FW-190 rushed straight into the B-24 group and opened fire wildly. Of course, he didn't hit anything, but was hit by the M2 aircraft on the bomber.

The gun took a lot of bites. The severely damaged fighter finally crashed into a B-24 bomber. The German fighter was naturally smashed into pieces, and the hit B-24 bomber was also broken in half.

It became two pieces.

Two minutes later, news came from the British that the bomber had been hit. A lone BF-109 approached the British bomber group and went directly to Lan Kai, the British OnePlus who was performing the "Mandarin Duck Tea" mission.

The Sturt heavy bomber collided with it. But the British were very lucky. Before the collision, the German pilot was hit by the Lancaster's self-defense machine gun and lost control of the aircraft.

Therefore, his plane did not hit the vital part of the Lancaster and only knocked off half of its vertical tail. However, although the Lancaster could still barely fly, it was obviously not possible to continue to carry out the bombing mission.

It had no choice but to break away from the formation, then casually dropped the extra-large bomb and turned back. However, the captain Reginald would never have imagined what the bomb he casually dropped would hit.

…

A group of convoys were speeding on the road. At the head were two BMW R75 motorcycles armed with mg-42 machine guns. Judging from the epaulettes with two lightning bolts on the clothing of the crew members on the motorcycles, they belonged to the SS system.

Behind the two motorcycles was an open-top Audi sedan, and behind it was a Henschel 11d1 truck filled with SS soldiers armed with MP-44 assault rifles.

In the back seat of Ord, two people were talking.

"Dr. Schneider, are you really sure that the Holy Grail is hidden in that place?"

"Yes, my research has convinced me of this! But, Captain Bach, are you sure it's safe for us to swagger like this under a group of enemy bombers?"

"Doctor, these are heavy bombers. They have no time to drop bombs on small targets like us. They won't even notice us on the ground. The head of state is very eager to get the Holy Grail as soon as possible, so I must seize every second.

bell."

"I feel much more at ease after hearing what you said." Dr. Schneider leaned back on his seat and raised his head to look at the sky, "Wait a minute, Captain Bach, look, what did that fall?

?”!”

…

Reginald flew alone towards England in a Lancaster heavy bomber. The current section was covered with clouds and nothing could be seen.

"What the hell are we Peter?"

"Captain, we should be over France, and we should already be able to see the strait below." Navigator Peter Cunningham answered after checking the route map.

"Okay, let's lower the height."

…

After a while, the injured Lancaster emerged from the clouds. A huge city appeared in front of Captain Reginald's eyes.

"Hell, you said we were on the strait, where are we?" Reginald roared angrily.

"Captain, I'll check again..."

At this moment, a huge iron tower appeared in front and below the plane.

"No need to check, damn, we are in Paris now! Climb quickly!"

But at this time, the anti-aircraft artillery below had already opened fire. The side of the Lancaster bomber was immediately filled with flower-shaped smoke left by the explosion of anti-aircraft shells.

"Engine No. 1 is damaged!" Soldier McIntosh shouted.

"Engine No. 3 is on fire! Engine No. 4 is on fire!"

"The plane's gone, guys, we're going to go skydiving," Reginald said. "Hell, skydiving over the city!"

"Captain, there's a big open space over there!" said navigator Peter Cunningham.

"Okay, I hope you will be more reliable this time. Prepare to parachute!" Reginald adjusted the course and gave the order to parachute.

Everyone jumped out one after another. As the captain, Reginald was the last one to parachute. The parachute took him across a lake inhabited by white swans, crossed an iron fence, and fell to a river with a lot of floating wood.

.Wait a minute, those pieces of wood will move! Help!

…

The frenzied counterattack of a few German pilots did bring losses to the Allied fleet, but the huge fleet was still unstoppable. Berlin had already appeared in the sight of the navigators.

"Prepare to enter the attack route!" An exciting cry came from the radio.

At this time, the anti-aircraft guns on the ground were also firing wildly into the sky. From the most common KL60 anti-aircraft guns, 88mm Flukabwehrkanone3637 anti-aircraft guns to the smaller 128mm Flukabweh

Rkanone 40 anti-aircraft guns and various large-caliber anti-aircraft guns equipped by the German army opened fire one after another. Various shells continued to explode in the bomber group, and the entire sky was like a pot of boiling water with foam. One bomber after another was hit by anti-aircraft shells.

In, catch fire, fall.

But none of these could stop the Allied bombers. Another determined voice came from the radio:

"Expand the box formation, and each unit enters the attack route and prepares to drop bombs."
