The Level 2 air defense alert initially issued by Churchill's cabinet did not attract the attention of the British. Similar to the situation in the United States, the British who experienced World War II were generally war-weary. The vast majority of them believed that the war was over and now it was time for them to fight for it.

It’s time for them and their families to live. As for Great Britain dominating the world, they are happy to see it happen, but that’s just it. Based on this concept, the British generally believe that the government, the United States and Japan formed a so-called independent alliance.

Churchill was so idle that he had nothing to do. Moreover, many people directly believed that "this is a crazy and stupid decision" regarding the alliance with Japan, his former enemy.

Of course, the opposition of the British people has no binding force on Churchill. This is the prerogative of the war cabinet. That is, Churchill can re-arm Great Britain as long as he deems it necessary.

The air defense sirens were sounded again. When they heard the sirens, the first reaction of most British people was that they were doing some kind of exercise or that something had gone wrong. The special terrain of Great Britain and the sequelae of World War II generally gave British people this kind of reaction.

The inertial thinking is that even if Britain has an enemy now, it can only be Germany. But are the Germans still capable of carrying out the bombing of London again? As long as the second lieutenant pays attention to the world situation, he will definitely answer: absolutely impossible.

Not only the British people doubt the accuracy of the air defense warning, but the British people who are ordered to perform air defense missions are also generally skeptical. Because they really can't figure out which country in Europe, except Germany, can threaten the United Kingdom.

Have the strength to bomb London.

The slow response of the people and the army made Dowding anxious and helpless. In the past twenty minutes, when a Chinese fighter plane appeared over London and started dropping leaflets, the British finally realized the importance of air defense.

The alarm was real and correct, and immediately, the streets of London were boiling.

"Enemy plane!" "Chinese fighter plane!" "Run! The Chinese are coming to bomb -"

...The British are no strangers to the flag of the Republic of China. After all, in this time and space, China is the main force in defeating the evil Axis powers. In addition, the United Kingdom later joined the Communist Alliance, and Churchill's cabinet wanted to fight for it.

Public opinion, at all costs, exaggerated the Chinese threat and the reasons why Britain must join the anti-Japanese alliance in major media. This made it difficult for the British not to recognize the Chinese flag. Therefore, almost immediately, they distinguished the sudden appearance of the Chinese flag.

The nationality of the fighter planes over London, and then thinking about the Japanese alliance, how could we not know that the air defense siren was sounded against the Chinese fighter planes.

The pilot of the first Golden Eagle that appeared over London was a squadron leader of the aircraft carrier fleet aviation group named Zheng Chengyun, who was from Taiwan Province of China.

He was known for his excellent driving skills and calm personality, so he was personally named by Chen Shichang to be responsible for the task of throwing leaflets.

Speaking of which, Chen Shichang was quite benevolent. He did not launch any sudden attacks, but used courtesy first and then attack, leaving enough time for the British people to hide in air defense measures. Otherwise, if they followed the Germans' example, they would attack at every turn

A sudden attack will definitely cause a large number of civilian casualties.

After the air raid siren sounded, Churchill did not immediately enter the air raid shelter. Instead, he walked out of the Prime Minister's residence in Downing Street and stood on the street looking up to the sky.

Churchill still had some illusions in his heart at this time, that is, he hoped that the Chinese bombing was just a demonstration, and there would not be many fighter planes actually participating in the attack. It can be seen that Slim's words still had a certain impact on him, and he also

It is hoped that the range of Chinese fighter planes is not enough, and the so-called air strikes are just a show.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, please enter the air-raid shelter immediately. The streets are too dangerous." As soon as Churchill reached the center of the street and raised his neck, his captain of the bodyguard came over with several of his men and asked him to hide in the air-raid shelter immediately.

"It doesn't matter, the Chinese are just throwing leaflets now. It seems that the Chinese still have some scruples," Churchill said, looking confident. But after he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed.

.At the end of his field of vision, fighter planes appeared one after another from behind the building. "One, two -" Churchill subconsciously counted in his mind, and when he silently counted to seventeen,

At that moment, there was a "pop" sound, and the cigar he had just lit fell to the ground. He stumbled and almost fell.

"Your Excellency! Help the Prime Minister to go to the air-raid shelter, quickly!" The captain of the guard knew how to seize the opportunity, and he immediately shouted.

A crowd of people surrounded Churchill and entered the air-raid shelter. Not long after they entered the air-raid shelter, a violent explosion sounded. Churchill held on to the wall, feeling the vibrations from the wall, and then heard the explosion coming from the southwest, where the

It is the largest military airport in London. His face suddenly turned pale and his mouth opened, but he could not utter a word for a long time.

There were more than two hundred fighter planes, half of which were Golden Eagle fighters. Therefore, although Dowding responded very promptly and sent the air force into the air to meet the enemy almost immediately, the effect was almost zero.

In this time and space, Britain had the experience of abandoning its homeland and moving to India, and its military industry was much weaker than that time and space. After all, just one migration and one return migration would consume a lot of time. Moreover, in Great Britain, the military industry was much weaker than that of that time and space.

At that time, due to the crazy bombing of the Luftwaffe, the British basically had no space for scientific research. Reflected in the air force's combat power, the British relied on imports of most of their fighter planes from other former Allies, and their most advanced fighter planes were actually still

The Baiji that was once exchanged with the Z fleet from China. You must know that in China, the Baiji fighter jets have been replaced by the Golden Eagle. The reason why they have not been eliminated from active service is because China’s fighter production capacity is limited and cannot provide all the active military forces.

Just replaced the golden eagle.

A white-tip dolphin will be killed instantly if it encounters a golden eagle, let alone the Hurricane fighter jet developed by the British and the Mustang purchased from the United States.

The one at the front of the Chinese escort Golden Eagle fleet was Zheng Chengyun's squadron, commanded by deputy squadron leader Gao Daguang.

London's military airport was the first choice target for this bombing mission, so when Zheng Chengyun flew towards London, Gao Daguang led his brothers to London's largest airport.

It has to be said that, perhaps due to the long-term battle with the German Air Force, the quality of British Air Force pilots is relatively high. From receiving the order to taking off, the fastest British pilot only took less than ten minutes. However,

, air combat is not only about the quality and fighting will of soldiers, but also the performance of fighter planes is equally important or even more important.

The first British pilot to take off was named Brooke. He also became the first British pilot to die in this air battle.
