The attack on Cuba later went much smoother. After losing the geographical advantage, the United States seemed a little overwhelmed. The Chinese Expeditionary Force occupied Cuba like lightning, thus taking this treasure land of strategic value in its own hands. At this position, Chinese long-range aircraft can easily bomb until the eastern US states in New York. If shuttle bombing is used, it can even reach Germany and establish a bombing corridor with Germany, covering Britain and the United States with the power of long-range bombers.

Zhao Gang ambitionly named the bombing plan "Xuanyuan" plan. Before this, the Germans' ambitious "Sea Lion Plan" had gone bankrupt, but the failure of the air battle did not dispel the German emperor's ambition to annex Britain. On the contrary, he hoped that the "Great Air Force's great air battle against Britain" would begin to be implemented immediately. However, for some ulterior purpose, the German emperor politely rejected the request for shuttle bombing from Chinese allies. This was not the first time, nor would it be the last time that China's suggestions were rejected. Zhao Gang only smiled at the German emperor's small abacus and instructed the Chinese Air Force to increase its attack on American bases without increasing sacrifice. Zhang Baolong and others understood this diplomatic rhetoric instructions, and immediately reduced the pressure on the Americans.

Germany seems to be willing to see China slowing down its offensive, because China's performance in the last World War is still fresh in their memory. In the credit book of the Second Empire, Britain and the United States have long been classified as their own sphere of influence. On the 32nd, the Luftwaffe General Command issued an order to launch the "Battle of Britain". The Air Force Commander-in-Chief expressed very cautiously that in addition to the German optimism: supersonic aircraft with strong power will reverse the unfavorable situation for British air combat in one fell swoop. The British air defense will collapse within 14 days, and the British Air Force will be expelled from the British air within March. On March 6, Rommel ordered the subordinate commander to start a full-scale attack on the 10th. The offensive plan was

It is called the Eagle Day program. Many German pilots were very proud when they thought of this Eagle Day program that would make them win the war. They drew the map of the British Isles on the fuselage and added a very arrogant explanation of "London-June 15-Don'. The Germans have always been cautious, but this time due to the emergence of new jets, the Germans' confidence has greatly expanded and they have maintained their greatest expectations for future air combat!

Due to weather reasons, the plan was forced to postpone, and the weather in the UK has never been able to explore. This time, the weather in the UK helped the UK, but the bad weather lasted only for three days. On the 3rd, Rommel ordered the implementation of the "Eagle Day" plan the next day. As a prelude to the large-scale air strike, the Luftwaffe launched a fierce raid on the British coastal radar station on the 12th. Six radar stations in the UK were hit and severely damaged. One radar...

But the Germans did not understand the importance of radar to British air defense at this time. Although the Germans could obtain more advanced radar devices for their allies, the Germans were unwilling to make such exchanges because they needed corresponding technical exchanges, which directly led them to fall far behind the British in the development and use of such electronic devices.

So in actual combat, the Germans immediately noticed this gap. German ace pilot Adolf Garland later said: "We realized that the Royal Fighter Squadron must be controlled by some new device on the ground, because we heard the command of commanding Spitfire and Hurricane aircraft with German fleets to fight the field.

This radar and its control over the fighter surprised us, and it was a very painful accident. But we had no choice but to use it. We could not blow it up anyway.

In fact, due to the good concealment of radar, more importantly, the radar ground cost is not high, and the British can assume the radar in a short period of time. Therefore, this problem has plagued German pilots until it failed in the end. The Germans still cannot reverse this trend.

From 313 to March 23, '>: l enters the first stage. During the one-day battle, Germany carried out five large-scale bombings on Britain in an attempt to destroy the British Air Force. The tactical means adopted by the Luftwaffe were to concentrate superior forces, attack the British political, economic center and main air force allocation areas, adopt large groups of aircraft to sail, and small teams entered the target to conduct continuous assaults in waves, making the British air defense forces unable to carry out concentrated resistance. However, the disadvantages of this attack method are also obvious. Jet aircraft can only play a role in a certain stage, and the speed advantage was unreasonably offset.

313. The sky is covered with clouds. The visibility is extremely poor, especially in Su

The dense clouds over Kent are often 4,000 feet low. The weather is in line with air combat. But Rommel can no longer wait. The German emperor is impatient and even a little angry. So, the powerful German bomber fleet set out as planned. To the Germans surprised and even frustrated that the jet fighter did not go with the team. According to the command of the military headquarters, it was to prevent problems with the new supersonic aircraft. Under such complex weather conditions, the Luftwaffe was worried about the adaptability of the jet aircraft, so he only ordered the bomber formation to go to bomb. This order almost sent the German bomber formation to the mouth of the British.

However, the escorted fighter fleet did not fly at the same time as planned, with only a few fighter planes following them, and German bombers had to attack alone without any cover of fighter planes. A huge fleet of 80 Dornier-17s went to bomb East Church Airport and Hierness Port, and Farnbale, and a large group of "Stuka" aircraft flew along the Hampshire coastline.

The Donier-17 was manufactured by Donier aircraft [.:. Rapid bomber modification. The speed of the aircraft exceeded that of the fighter (400km/h) at that time, and the inspectors were shocked. "Flying Pencil".: The better horizontal bomber. The disadvantage is that the bomb load capacity is small, only). 59mm

The Junker-88 adopts an all-metal structure, with a maximum output power of 1,400 horsepower and a 9mm machine gun. The Junker-88 guard has strong firepower and can maneuver during dive, which improves survivability. It is the main bomber type of German army in World War II.

The propulsion power of the Stuka Type B dive group is a 1100 horsepower jumba2 cylinder. The force is two mg17 7.92 mm machine guns fixed on both sides of the wings controlled by the driver and a mg15 7 mm machine gun operated by the rear seat radio. A 500 kilogram heavy bomb can be hung on the center line of the abdomen of the fuselage, and one 110 kilogram bomb can be hung under both sides of the fuselage. The Stuka body is very firm, so it can dive down sharply at an angle of 80 degrees.

The automatic computing device it is equipped with can correctly calculate the timing of diving and pulling the head. It is equipped with a pair of diving reduction plates under the front spar, and its large main landing gear also slows down when the aircraft dives. These characteristics make Stuka have extremely high bombing accuracy and a diameter error of less than 25 meters. An air-driven sounding device is installed at the cooling air inlet of Stuka, which makes a shrill sound similar to an air raid alarm during diving. Before the bomb falls, it has caused a great impact on the psychology of people on the ground and strengthens the impact.

Both types of bombers are barely qualified as bombers, but the lack of self-defense firepower is very obvious. Stuka is a dive bomber, which is simply a sandbag, so the huge group of bombers has no defensive power in the end, and just stepped onto the express train to hell.

Thanks to the deployment of the alert radar, the British Fighter Command soon obtained information about the German upcoming air strikes. The 8th Fighter Battalion and two cyclones of the Tornado Flight Squadrons went to protect a fleet at the mouth of the Thames and the advance airports of Hawkingjee and Roston, and sent a fleet of aircraft to patrol over Canterbury. He left the 23rd Spitfire aircraft and half of the cyclone aircraft on hand to carry out a concentrated attack. The 10th Fighter Battalion Commander Brand also sent two squadrons of the Tornado Flight aircraft to patrol over Dorset.

Due to the backwardness of radar, the Germans did not receive any information about British aircraft, so they were still flying to their destination with great swagger and were not alert to what was about to happen.
