"Captain, engine two is out of order. Shall we return?" The pilot asked the captain aside.
The captain turned around, looked at the smoky engine from the porthole and said, "no, keep flying."
As a four engine bomber, this aircraft has this function. When it needs long-distance endurance, it can turn off two engines and reduce fuel consumption. Therefore, although there is no one engine, it can continue to perform its mission.
This is the first large-scale bombing mission. The captain doesn't want to quit because of one engine failure. At least for now, the other three engines are still working normally.
In order to continue the mission, the captain deliberately concealed the problem of engine failure. As a result, when they flew to the scheduled assembly area, they found that their bomber group had assembled and set out two minutes ago!
Never mind, just catch up!
Therefore, the captain ordered the navigator to fly according to the predetermined route according to the wireless guidance, hoping to catch up with his own formation.
Unfortunately, without an engine, their speed is slower than the fleet ahead. Therefore, they not only fail to catch up, but also lag behind.
After flying over the middle line of the Strait, nothing was found, so the captain decided to fly to bomb by himself according to the predetermined target!
A lone bomber is flying at high altitude. Their target is a factory near Greenwich, which mainly produces alloys and is a necessary raw material for manufacturing aircraft engines.
Adjust the route, the whole bomber crew did not feel lonely, they were fighting!
"Ahead, reaching the target." Cried the pilot.
They flew strictly according to the route, but they did not find that the wind direction over Britain had changed. They flew more than 20 kilometers forward. Ahead, it was not Greenwich, but London!
"No target found." Cried the pilot.
According to the prior arrangement, there will be people on the ground to guide. In short, they just send a simple three short and three long light to the sky with a flashlight, but now they can't find it.
It was dark below. Since the bombing had already begun, the cities in these areas had been blackout.
After flying around this area for two times, the pilot was suddenly happy. In front of him, a flickering signal finally appeared: "find the target, prepare to drop bombs, fly straight, enter the bombing route!"
At this time, they did not know that the flickering signal below was not the target factory at all, but the Big Ben on the Capitol building, which was telling the time on time! Although the lights in London have been blackout, the managers are negligent and forget that the clock will flash when it tells the time on time!
To the north of this magnificent Big Ben is Whitehall street, where the British government departments are located.
In the middle of the west side of baiting street, there is a short and narrow cross street, the famous Downing Street. No. 10 of this street is a well-known three storey grey brick building, which was built in 1680.
Yes, this is No. 10 Downing Street, the British Prime Minister's office. It is the center of the British government to make major decisions, formulate policies and hold conferences to change the world.
Now, in this three story building, Churchill sleepless all night.
"What, even our woolston factory was bombed?" When Churchill got the news, he clenched his fist.
It is Churchill's consistent belief to fight and persist in fighting until victory. He also firmly believes that he can win. But now, reality is pouring cold water on his head.
The factories of two Spitfire fighters were completely razed to the ground. The Germans used hundreds of bombers to bomb Britain. The most terrible thing is that the night bombing and the German surprise attack had a good effect.
"Within a month, we can't even produce a flamethrower." Chief of staff Archibald said it was the heaviest blow to Britain.
If Britain wants to protect its land, it must deal with the German bombing. First, it must defeat the German air force, but now? A German night bombing, the British fighter production capacity, disappeared.
Churchill's cigar had been extinguished. He stood up and looked at the dark night sky. God, don't you think Britain's suffering is not deep enough?
"Boom!" Just then, suddenly, a violent explosion occurred in the street hundreds of meters away, and the dark street was shining.
"Protect the prime minister!" The guard shouted and came up and knocked down Churchill. Almost at the same time, the glass in front of Churchill was broken.
"Boom, boom!" Explosions, one after another! The whole Whitehall street has suffered terrible bombing!
The bombs dropped from high altitude are not accurate. Originally, they aimed at the Big Ben. As a result, almost all the bombs fell to the north of the Big Ben, which is the seat of the British government!
A bomb exploded almost more than ten meters away from No. 10 Downing Street. In the huge explosion, the whole street was blown into a big pit more than ten meters deep!
Countless pieces flew and hit the three-story building at No. 10 Downing Street. One corner of the building could not bear the huge impact and collapsed!
In front of the small building, on the high flagpole, symbolizing the flag of Great Britain, it was torn open in the explosion, but it didn't fall down and was still flying in the wind!
Countless flames appeared in the dark night sky and the whole Whitehall street.
London, burning, the seat of the government, burning!
Fire engines arrived in an emergency, and countless people came out spontaneously to participate in the rescue!
At this time, the bombers in the sky, unaware of their feats, almost killed British Prime Minister Churchill. At this time, they finished dropping bombs, circling and preparing to return, but found that they seemed to poke a hornet's nest.
Originally, the following is just an ordinary factory. Even if it is protected, it is at most the size of an anti-aircraft artillery company, but now? There are hundreds of light columns suddenly lit up below!
These beams of light swept back and forth, cutting the sky into patches and drifting away.
"Come on, climb, climb now!" The captain shouted.
There must be a problem. Is this a trap? With so many searchlights, it's only a matter of time before they are found. However, as long as they climb high, there's no problem! You know, no matter how powerful the anti-aircraft gun is, it is impossible to hit an effective shooting height of 8000 meters!
The three engines started their horsepower and climbed up recklessly. Just after climbing to seven kilometers, they were captured by countless beams of light. Then, below, countless anti-aircraft guns opened fire together, as if to vent their dissatisfaction against the sky.
Unfortunately, they are destined to be useless.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
