Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 502: Exploding the River Dam

"Commander, another fleet is heading towards London, with more than 200 aircraft!" a staff officer reported to Dowding in a panic.

"Again?!" Daoding really wanted to hit his head against the wall and faint, out of sight and out of mind. The 50 fighter jets sent out to meet the enemy yesterday were all wiped out, and there were only a few surviving pilots. If this happens a few more times, he will really become a polished commander!

But he couldn't keep these fighter jets and pilots waiting for Britain to fall, so he could only use the mentality of breaking the pot and sending 100 fighter jets to meet the enemy.

This time the order was issued a little slower. The German fleet had already flown to the edge of the city, and an air battle broke out over London.

Guntrar bit a Spitfire fighter, holding the joystick firmly with both hands. The Spitfire in the sight was getting closer and closer. Lal took a soft breath and suddenly pulled the trigger.

"Burst! Burst! Burst!" The 20mm cannon fired several shells, briefly and rapidly. He is no longer a rookie who holds the trigger tightly as soon as he fires. He knows how to save bullets. The 20mm cannon's tracer bullets flew toward their target with a bright tail. Just when Lal was about to add a kill count to himself, the Spitfire rolled violently, and those few shells flew past its tail. .

"Hey?" Lal raised his eyebrows slightly, but immediately followed the opponent, chasing after him. The FW190's roll agility was the strongest among all World War II fighters, and it easily bit the opponent again. However, after learning the lesson from the empty shot, Lal did not rush to open fire and prepared to close the distance between the two sides, while the other side kept changing his flight direction in an attempt to get rid of him.

The Spitfire had the advantage of a smaller turning radius, and this advantage was used by British pilots to throw off opposing fighters, just as German fighter pilots used roll to throw away British fighter pilots.

"Maybe this guy is also an ace." After chasing for a long time and not finding a chance to fire, Lal muttered softly.

Just when the opponent made another turn, Lal's fighter suddenly accelerated and maneuvered under the Spitfire, and then pulled up again.

This is a very classic pursuit action. The technical term is called Low Yo-Yo. It is a standard "trick" that uses vertical maneuvers to take shortcuts and shorten the attack distance. When using this technique, you must be surprised, or when you are covered by other friendly aircraft, otherwise it will be easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity and shoot it down at a more reasonable altitude.

Speaking of which, this tactic gives priority to giving up one's own energy, releasing potential energy and taking shortcuts to seek a short attack moment. If the opponent is on guard, this action means giving up his height and potential energy in advance, and he will be at an obvious disadvantage.

The opponent's pilot seemed not to have expected Lal's sudden move. Unprepared, a large hole was punched out of the left wing of the fighter jet by the 20MM cannon. He soon lost control, entered a spiral state, and fell to the ground.

After a while of the air battle, a British fighter pilot suddenly exclaimed. "God, what are they doing?!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by a German fighter jet swooping down from high altitude. However, his words attracted the attention of the other British pilots. Everyone looked around and finally found a group of Stuka bombers hovering over the Thames River in the distance.

I saw those Stuka bombers swooping down one after another, dropping large bombs mounted on the belly of the aircraft onto the Thames River, to be precise, on the Thames River Dam. "Oh God! Command center! Command center! The Germans are bombing Thames Barrage! Got that? They're going to blow up Thames Barrage!!"

Everyone in the London Wartime Headquarters was shocked when they received the news. None of these people were fools, and they guessed the Germans' intentions in less than a second.

Flooding London! !

The most terrible thing is that in the past, if it was flooded, it would be flooded. But now it is wartime, and German artillery bombards London day and night, and the people in London are hiding in underground air-raid shelters. Even their wartime headquarters was more than ten meters above the ground!

Dowding shouted in panic. "Quick! Quick! Stop them, don't let them blow up the river dam!!"

Of course, the British pilots also knew what would happen if the river dam was bombed. It's a pity that they are really powerless!

And Churchill and others also knew that it was basically impossible to stop it, and the Thames Dam would definitely be destroyed. Churchill ordered decisively. "Quickly tell all air raid shelters to close their doors!"

A staff officer said anxiously. "Your Excellency Prime Minister, yesterday the Germans blew up the power station. Many places lost power. The ventilation system of the air-raid shelter has no power. Once the door is closed, the people inside will suffocate to death!"

There was a bang in Churchill's head, and he barely stood still with his hands on the desk, and yelled. "Then let the people leave the air raid shelters and move to higher ground!!"

"But what if the German army launches a large-scale bombardment?" Let's not talk about the ongoing bombardment by the German army. What if the German army launches a large-scale bombardment after the people withdraw from the air-raid shelters? How many casualties will it cost?

"!!" Churchill felt as if something exploded in his mind, his vision dimmed, and he slowly fell down.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister! Your Excellency Prime Minister!"

Fortunately, after Churchill fainted last time, doctors have been following him these days. Immediately, someone laid Churchill down on the ground and checked him again. His face became extremely solemn. "The Prime Minister suffered a cerebral thrombosis and must be allowed to rest!"

At this time, a 250-kilogram high-explosive bomb dropped by a Stuka bomber over the Thames River hit the dam hard.

"Boom!" With the explosion of high-explosive bombs, countless solid clods of soil exploded instantly!

The entire dam shook violently.

In fact, one bomb is enough to blow up the dam. If such a gap is not closed in time, the remaining part of the dam will soon be washed away by the rapid tide. But now, the Stuka bomber group has no intention of leaving and is still swooping down to drop bombs.

"boom!"

Another bomb hit the river dam, and the entire river dam collapsed completely!

It was the time of high tide, and the raging tide was rolling violently upstream! In later generations, when the tide was strong, it could almost overflow the top of the river dam. This kind of overflowing tide could bring harm to London, let alone now. When such a big gap is blown into the river dam, the whole of London will be flooded by the tide!

The British pilots in the sky shouted in despair. "The dam, the dam is destroyed!"
