Chapter 681： Missile attack

South East London, Air Force Base.

A sharp sirens sounded over the base. After hearing the sirens, the pilots in flight suits hurried to their planes.

Germany's ability to wreak havoc on the European continent is inseparable from the advanced nature of their fighter jets. Fortunately, the United Kingdom is not weak in this regard. The British Spitfire is the only model that can rival German fighters.

In recent months, Britain has been producing this latest fighter at full force.

At this time, more than thirty Spitfire fighters were deployed at this base.

"Quick, quick, take off immediately!" As they stepped into the cockpit, the squadron captain's call came from the headset.

"Where are we going to fly?" a pilot asked over the radio.

The sirens sounded and there was a combat mission, but right now, the surrounding sky was pitch black. If you take off blindly, there would be no result at all. Those who can intercept the enemy bomber are definitely the luckiest.

"No matter where you go, take off first!" The command of the squadron commander came again, making the pilots stunned. What is this mission? Take off first?

In a hurry, the squadron leader’s aircraft had already started the engine and rolled towards the runway. At this time, the runway lights were shining and facing the runway, the squadron commander pushed the throttle to fully open and rolled quickly on the runway. Then take off.

In order to prevent morale from being affected, the situation of the German missiles is currently only known to the squadron leader level personnel. After all, the thing cannot be intercepted.

And now, the opponent must have launched this missile attack again! In order to avoid the loss of the plane, we must fly first!

After he took off quickly, the planes behind followed suit and took off one after another.

However, it takes time. At night, even if it is illuminated by lights, it is dangerous to take off in dense formations. Only one plane takes off.

Just as the fifth fighter jet slid onto the runway and was waiting for takeoff, there was a special noise above their heads.

The personnel at the base couldn't help but look to the sky. In the dark sky, they couldn't see anything. The light of the searchlight turned back and forth in the sky, and found nothing.

"Look!" a soldier shouted loudly. Just two kilometers away from the base, there was a fire! The flame is so dazzling that it can be seen clearly here.

Six or seven seconds after the fire appeared, a huge explosion sounded.

"Damn it, that's a bomb! How did the German bomb come?" a soldier shouted.

Just after shouting, there was also a huge explosion just above their heads.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Although various improvements have been made, the hit rate of the V-2 missile is still not comparable to that of later generations. For this reason, the method adopted by the German missile force is of course to increase the number!

Ten missiles flew over every air base!

In this way, even if the hit rate is only 20%, it can be guaranteed that at least two missiles will hit the base.

Two are enough!

This kind of missile does not explode when it hits the ground. It explodes in the sky when it is hundreds of meters above the ground.

Countless people, with their horrified eyes, looked at the missile that exploded in the sky. Then, like a goddess, more tiny bombs rolled down.

Bullets!

To deal with targets such as airports, using sub-munitions is the most suitable way! With the explosion, one after another small bombs splashed to every corner of the entire base.

The explosion sound appeared constantly.

"Boom!" A small bomb happened to hit an airplane. In an instant, the airplane exploded and burned violently.

The pilot ran down from the plane in horror. Without running a few steps, his foot stepped on another unexploded bullet.

A huge explosion sounded, and one of his legs was gone. He screamed, looking at the hell-like scene.

The power of sub-munitions lies not only in the large spreading area, but also due to the reliability of the fuze. A batch of bullets will not explode immediately, and these bullets, just like mines, will threaten the safety of personnel at any time. .

It can be said that as long as the area where the cluster bullets are scattered, it will become a forbidden zone for human beings, and life is in danger at any time!

As long as one hit, an air force base can be destroyed, even if the fighters inside are still intact, no one can get in and start these fighters.

The threat on the runway is even greater!

At the same time, ten missiles will not be wasted. It is simply turning the area within a few kilometers into a restricted area!

"General, our air base was attacked and suffered heavy losses." In the command center behind, Trafford received this terrible news.

The news that the radar station was destroyed has arrived, and then the air force base has been attacked.

"Now, how many planes can we dispatch?" Trafford asked.

The assistant looked blank, how much? Maybe, God knows it, now it’s not just a question of how many planes are left, but a question of what to do with the planes that have already taken off, how are they going to land when the lights are black?

Just ordering these planes to take off was really a stupid decision. The adjutant thought to himself that it would be better to spread them apart.

"Seek help from General Dowding and ask others to mobilize the 12th Aviation Group to support us." Trafford said.

After the opponent’s first wave of strikes, our side has already suffered heavy losses. Now, we can only rely on our own north, that is, the central air defense zone, where there are still intact aviation groups. Ask for their support!

As soon as the voice fell, there was a huge explosion outside.

"Boom!" In the explosion, the entire base swayed involuntarily, and an incandescent lamp hung on the top swayed with it.

Then, the light bulb went out, and all the surrounding sounds disappeared.

The sound of the huge exhaust fan, the ticking sound of the radio, and the whining sound of the electronic equipment chassis all disappeared.

"Quickly, turn on the backup power supply!" Trafford knew that the explosion at the top had interrupted the power of this command center on his side.

This place is built underground, and the explosion above your head may not necessarily cause harm to yourself.

"boom!"

"boom!"

One missile after another fell from the sky. Obviously, it was taken as a key target.

Above the head, the dust fell sternly. A soldier holding a flashlight changed his face instantly after seeing the dust on the top.

not good!

In this era, most of the air-raid shelters were made of civil construction. The bottom was supported by wood and the top was covered with soil. Like this command center, the bottom was a reinforced concrete structure and the top was covered with mud. It is said to be very strong.

However, this can't stand one missile after another!

Like other locations, here, a full ten missiles were attacked, and Germany had good luck. A total of seven missiles landed above the target!

"Boom!" As if it was the last straw that crushed the camel, when the seventh missile fell heavily and then exploded, the top of the entire command center suddenly collapsed!
