The main force of the attack is the "combat" bomber. Philip's plane first started the engine and took off quickly from the runway. The advantage of a single bomber is fast speed!

Behind him, one bomber after another taxied from the runway and took off. Immediately after taking off, they flew West, ready to cross Egypt and enter Libyan airspace.

At the same time, behind the formation, there were 14 bombers much larger than them.

Bristol brenheim bomber, a twin engine light bomber used by the British air force at the beginning of World War II, was developed and manufactured by Bristol aircraft company. It was widely used in Britain and its overseas colonies in the early stage of the war.

The original MK. I began to equip the troops at the end of 1936. By the end of 1937, 16 flight teams had been equipped with this fighter. In 1938, this fighter was successively transported to overseas colonial territories. When the Second World War broke out, most of the mk.1 fighters were deployed in the Mediterranean and Africa. Now, the 47th Bomber Squadron is equipped with this twin bomber, which is also the most advanced bomber in the Egyptian air force base.

Three bomber squadrons, more than 50 aircraft, formed a large fleet, flying in the direction of Libya.

When Germany began to exploit oil in Libya, Britain has been investigating Libya, so they easily found a large number of kowtows in the desert, which is the main oil producing area of Libya's oil field, Amal oil field.

Germany attaches great importance to Amal oilfield, and even built an oil pipeline to the port. At the same time, it also started to build a runway next to the oilfield to facilitate the transportation of equipment.

More than 50 planes, in the sky, the scene is quite spectacular, but it is unrealistic to blow up all the oil fields in Libya at once. Therefore, they can only bomb one of them first, of course, the largest Amal oil field!

On the leading Philip's bomber, pilot Norton drew a straight line on his chart. After taking off from the base, their route was aimed at Amal oilfield!

The whole fleet, flying at an altitude of 3000 meters, with a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, flies towards distant targets. At this time, everyone is in a very nervous and angry mood.

Blow up the German oil fields and let them know the power of the Royal Air Force!

In their whole formation, there were bombers and no fighter escort, but they didn't care.

These two bombers are high-speed bombers. They rely on speed to defeat their opponents. Moreover, the performance of bombers can be comparable to that of fighter planes. If they drop bombs, they can become fighter planes.

Secondly, they have nothing to worry about. The Italians have never deployed a large-scale air force in Libya, and their own side is a sneak attack. The other side absolutely doesn't know!

Of course, this is the British idea.

In the era of no radar, it is difficult to provide sufficient early warning time for enemy bombers' air strikes only by ground air defense observation. Fighters generally only have time to intercept bombers on their way back.

Therefore, the light bomber with high speed and good maneuverability is considered to have considerable advantages in survivability. Therefore, fast light bomber can also be said to be a reasonable choice under this combat theory and environment.

Unfortunately, the British have fallen behind.

In the eastern most part of Libya, in the desert, an 8 * 8 drive Ford truck has a huge antenna in the back compartment.

If viewed from a distance, this huge antenna is like a high scaffold. The side of Ford truck is supported by hydraulic pressure to fix the radar properly.

At the same time, there are several support vehicles nearby. One of them is rumbling. It is a power generation vehicle. Huge power is transmitted to the radar vehicle next to the antenna through thick cables, and then fed to the antenna through various circuits.

Dense electromagnetic waves flew into the sky.

This is the latest radar developed in the Libyan base, code named fugm 39 "Wurzburg" short-range warning radar. The operating frequency is 560mhz, the effective detection distance is 170km, the ranging accuracy is 100m, and the angle measurement accuracy is 0.2 degrees.

Historically, this radar was manufactured in about 43 and 44 years. In terms of radar, Germany is not backward, but now the time has been greatly advanced.

In addition to this radar, the base is also developing a long-range warning radar with a detection distance of 300 kilometers.

In the compartment of another equipment car, two radar soldiers were on duty in sweat. The weather in Libya was really hot.

They even have a disheveled military appearance. They only wear a vest on their upper body. At this time, the vest has been soaked. Their eyes are still staring at the radar screen. On it, a bright line is rotating, representing that the radar is scanning.

Suddenly, a radar soldier opened his eyes, and countless bright spots appeared on his screen!

"We found a large fleet of aircraft, with a height of 3000 and a speed of 300, coming towards us!"

"Come on, report to the base immediately and start the emergency plan!"

When the battle in Scarpa Bay is over, the most outpost will be deployed, which can at least win more than half to an hour for the oil base in the rear!

Oil base is the most important source of oil in Germany. Although Germany has reserved a large amount of oil, we must protect the safety of the base here!

The early warning information soon spread to the Amal oil field, the general head of the Libyan oil base, Noel, and the head of the Amal oil field, Kerim. After receiving the news, they immediately issued an order: "prepare to ignite the combustion point!"

Here, the most important thing is oil!

There are a large number of oil workers in the whole base. Now, their fate has long been linked with here.

After receiving the order, the oil workers were busy immediately.

In the whole oil base, the most important thing is oil barrels. Although the main oil is through pipelines, there are still a large number of oil barrels in stock.

Now, many oil drums have been cut in the middle and become two halves.

These two and a half barrels of oil have been deployed to various pre-designed placement points in the desert. Now, it is to pour crude oil, black viscous crude oil, and soon fill half a barrel.

The most important thing in the oil base is crude oil. Although an oil refinery has been built here to refine crude oil, it is mainly used for industrial equipment and various vehicles in Libya, and the output is not very high.

Next, wait for the command and light it!

This kind of ignition is everywhere, not only next to the oil well, but also in the surrounding desert areas!
