"General, the interceptor formation commanded by His Excellency Baron Red and the fighter unit led by Lieutenant Colonel Green have entered the designated airspace to prepare for ambush. Our mobile anti-aircraft artillery troops have also been in place. Britain seems too comfortable for this period, and their routes are almost straight and there is no change." A staff officer sent the latest information to Major General Ross.

"This cannot be entirely blamed on them. For such an army-level logistics supply center, there are still fewer 72 bombers, so they must reduce their range as much as possible to ensure that they carry enough ammunition. In order to make each liter of fuel fly the farthest distance, they need to fly at a specified speed and altitude on the specified route. We have a very deep understanding of the FB27 and O-400 bombers, so all their actions cannot escape our eyes. Moreover, today, the clouds are relatively high, and it is impossible for them to use the cover of the clouds. In front of our ground observation network, the British have nowhere to hide!" Major General Ross said.

"General, the British fleet has entered our ambush circle." Ten minutes later, a staff officer sent another piece of information.

"Is that so? Then let our anti-aircraft artillery troops on the ground give the British the first gift!" With the issuance of Ross' order, the first ring of the lasso had been opened. What the British did not expect was that in this time known as the "most tragic air battle on the Western Front", it was not the German fighter troops or the German interceptor troops that fired the first shot, but a group of anti-aircraft artillery!

At this time, on the road that the British must pass, hundreds of trucks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns had been deployed. It has to be said that the Germans chose a very good location. This is a hilly area covered with bushes and short forests. At the surrounding commanding heights, the Germans deployed a large number of observation posts and shooting command posts, and also placed some machine guns with limited shooting heights and 40mm machine guns on the top of the mountain.

In the distance, a large number of 75mm and 88mm vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft guns form artillery positions, with an average of 4 to 8 medium-caliber air-defense guns forming a position, with a total of up to 18 medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns forming a huge band-shaped ambush circle, which is just on the scheduled route of British bombers! These ambush circles with medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns as the backbone and large number of rapid-fire guns and machine guns as the auxiliary are like a giant beast hidden in the dark, waiting to launch a fatal blow to the British bomber troops at any time!

"The British have a quarter of an hour to arrive at the battlefield! Get ready!" With the urging of the officers, all the anti-aircraft artillery troops adjusted their positions for the last time. Finally, on the selected positions, half-tracked vehicles stopped, and the engineers would quickly level out a flat ground on the selected positions, and then the vehicle that towed the anti-aircraft artillery quickly dropped the artillery. The gray-green shells were taken off, and the thick 75mm and 88mm anti-aircraft artillery pointed to the sky. The gunner next to them took boxes of shells from the ammunition truck. The 88mm shells were placed in a special wooden box, with three shells and one box. The 75mm shells were 4 rounds. The height of the British flying had been locked, the height of the fighter was about 3,000 meters, and the height of the bomber was 2,500 meters.

The shells will be placed next to them after being taken out of the packaging. At this time, several professional technical officers are binding the shell's fuses based on the height of the British bomber. Before there is a near-explosion fuze, the shooting of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns tends to be more probable and bloodline (European and False)... However, if the flight speed, heading and altitude information of the opponent can be captured, it will still be of great help to the hit rate of the anti-aircraft gun. After all, the anti-aircraft gun group is aiming at the aircraft group. Even if it does not directly hit the target and explodes at the correct altitude, it is quite threatening to the dense aircraft group.

Under the cover of the woods, a firepower network composed of hundreds of artillery of various caliber and more than 200 large-caliber machine guns has been deployed. The entire group of artillery is commanded by 8 anti-aircraft artillery command posts. A death trap with a width of 6 kilometers and a firepower covers a length of 18 kilometers! The medium-caliber artillery is responsible for attacking the bomber group, while hundreds of machine guns and machine guns are responsible for covering the medium-caliber artillery positions and ambushing the fighter group that may enter low-altitude suppression.

"I have seen the British! I entered the pocket after about 6 minutes, and after 12 minutes, all the main targets entered the ambush circle, and they did not notice us! The bomber group is still in a tight formation!" When the Dora Observation Post located in the pocket verified the target for the last time, the gunners had loaded a round of shells with bound fuses into the barrel, and the machine gunner also checked the cooling water buckets and the next bullet links that were equipped with the large caliber machine gun for the last time.

"It seems that something is on the ground?" A British bombardier was bored and observed the ground through the bombing scope located at the bottom of the nose. Suddenly, he felt something seemed to be turning in the low woods below!

"That was an illusion, it was just a wind blowing through the woods." The co-pilot in front said without looking back.

"I hope, but you don't realize that we are going too smoothly? Our large fleet has been flying over the Germans for more than an hour, but until now, we still can't see an intercepting plane. When did the German air fleet become so weak?" The bomb dropper said uneasy.

"It's been like this in the past week, and then..." Just as the co-pilot answered this sentence, a loud noise like rolling thunder came from the ground. Looking from the air, countless fires rose from the woods, and the orange muzzle flames and gun smoke even formed a piece. After a while, when the British in the plane had not yet reacted, balls of flames had already exploded in the huge fleet!

"It's anti-aircraft guns! A large number of anti-aircraft guns!" A newly-joined crew member roared wildly, as if only in this way could he relieve the pressure that almost made him collapse. His ears were filled with violent explosions, and countless shrapnel and flames swept around. The shrapnel and the plane's skin collided violently, and the skins of the body were smashed into pieces!

The Germans' first round of anti-aircraft gun attacks were very effective. In 2 minutes after the fire, at least three British bombers were directly hit, and the powerful high-explosive bombs directly disintegrated the poor bombers in the air. Then, a flame storm like a tide and formed a flame storm and spread quickly around, causing other aircraft closer to be affected! The plane next to it was cut off by flying shrapnel, crushing the body, and then pierced the head with the fire all over.
Chapter completed!
