"Fifty kilometers." New target data came from the radar station.

Fifty kilometers away from the radar, it was only about 200 kilometers to his own side. Noyle made up his fist and said to Krim nearby, "fire!"

Fire!

With the order, an oil worker lit a torch dipped in gasoline with a match and lighter in his hand, and then threw the torch into half of the oil barrel.

Immediately, smoke billowed, and oil drums were lit!

When crude oil is pumped out, it is black and viscous. These crude oil need to be refined to get all kinds of manufactured products, diesel, gasoline, kerosene, heavy oil, asphalt and so on.

Gasoline and kerosene can be ignited directly, but diesel and heavy oil cannot be ignited directly. The problem is the structure of the oil.

Light fuel can be ignited directly, but heavy fuel can't.

The same is true for crude oil. Heavy crude oil cannot be ignited directly, but light crude oil can.

Now, to be on the safe side, light the torch first, then light the crude oil with the torch, and then you can light it.

When the torch was thrown into the oil barrel, in a few seconds, the flames in it burned and emitted huge black smoke.

The fires were lit one by one, and the thick smoke soon became dense, covering the whole oil field and nearby areas.

In the distant sky, there was a rumbling sound.

British bomber troops, arrived!

Philip's bomber flew in the front of the whole formation. The weather was very good all the way. He was full of confidence in the bombing.

In particular, when the whole fleet flew over the border and into the desert without any obstruction, he was even more confident.

You know, Libya is full of deserts, and the population is mainly concentrated in coastal areas.

In addition to oil workers, only the oasis of these inland oil fields is inhabited. Therefore, although they fly all the way inland from Egypt, they don't have to worry about being discovered.

The sky was clear and it was a good day for bombing.

"Coming over the target." Behind him, the pilot said to him.

We are about to enter the sky over the target. Use the incendiary bomb carried by our side to set the whole oil field on fire! Philip thought to himself that he could not help looking at the land in the distance.

This view, but let his heart cool.

What's that?

Philip's field of vision is actually rolling black smoke, which is spreading into the sky. The black smoke is quite strong and covers a large area!

"Damn it, these Germans!" Philip could not help swearing.

Philip certainly knows that these thick smoke do not appear naturally. They are definitely artificially directed.

What are those Germans doing?

Did they know that their side came to bomb, so they deliberately set the oil well on fire? If you really want to do so, you can only say that the Germans are too cruel, cruel to the enemy and cruel to themselves.

In order not to let the British bomb, they lit it first? What's going on?

"Attention, order the whole squadron to lower the height. Let's go down and have a look." Cried Philip.

In the last seat, there was a radio operator and rear seat gunner. After hearing Philip's order, he immediately adjusted the radio station and gave Philip's order.

"Pay attention to the 12th squadron. Lower the height immediately. Lower the height immediately."

The "battle" bomber lowered its altitude from 3000 meters to more than 100 meters. At the same time, it was getting closer and closer to the thick smoke.

Philip's heart was full of doubts.

It's too important for the Germans. Will they set it on fire? Maybe it's the smoke they deliberately released, trying to make their own side return in vain!

If so, it would underestimate the Royal Air Force!

Your flying skills are quite exquisite. If the other party deliberately releases the smoke screen, which smoke screen can you pass through!

You know, the higher the smoke, the larger the diffusion area. At the lower part, there must be a gap, which can be drilled through!

At a height of 100 meters, you can easily see the fire source in the distance. It seems that there is absolutely a problem. Continue to reduce the height!

"What they lit was not an oil well, but an oil barrel. Fly in and look for an oil well attack!" Cried Philip suddenly.

The pilot's eyesight is very sharp. Philip has seen the fire sources in the outermost layer. There is no kowtow on the fire source, which means it's not an oil well!

Moreover, he also judged that it was an oil bucket according to the height of those fire sources!

Fly in and attack!

If the flight altitude is too high, it will certainly pass through the thick smoke and make them return in vain. Now, ultra-low altitude, drill in, look for oil wells and attack!

The distance between the fire source and the fire source is large enough for his bomber to easily pass through and lower the plane to a height of 50 meters. With a surging momentum, Philip's bomber first drilled in!

It's not that easy to fool the RAF!

With this superb technology, Philip's bomber is interspersed in the gap between the fire sources. He wants to find the oil well!

Behind him, other bombers, like him, swooped down flexibly and drilled in.

Only those two engine bombers are not as flexible as this single engine. They dare not come down and can only hover in the air.

The engine of the "battle" bomber made a rumbling sound, and the propeller stirred the air flow. From time to time, a black smoke flew by. Philip's attention was highly nervous. If he flew directly into the black smoke, once the engine swallowed the smoke, it might shut down. At such a low altitude, it would definitely fall down after the fire was shut down.

Fortunately, this light bomber is as flexible as a biplane, and it doesn't matter to shuttle back and forth in the fire.

However, as he moved forward, there was more and more anxiety in his heart.

According to his plan, when his plane got into these flames, it should be easy to find the kowtows of those oil wells, but now, it has passed through dozens of flames, and there is still no discovery!

What's going on?

The more he flew forward, the more uneasy Philip felt. He plunged in and looked for the oil well, but he didn't find it. What does this mean?

Oil field, probably not here! This is a trap set by the Germans!

What now? Can he just pull up and fly through the black smoke area to high altitude? no way! In that case, his engine will definitely stop because he swallowed a lot of black smoke. He can't go back in a circle. It's easy to collide with the plane coming in behind. He can only fly forward!

At this time, Philip had lost his confidence, and he felt more and more terrible.
