Chapter 422 It Is Not Easy to Fool the Royal Air Force

"Fifty kilometers away." From the radar station, new target data came.

Fifty kilometers away from the radar, it is only about two hundred kilometers away from his side. Neuer wrung his fist and said to the Crimea beside him: "Ignite!"

ignition!

Following the order, a well-known oil worker lit a torch dipped in gasoline with a match and a lighter in his hand, and then threw the torch into the half of the oil drum.

Immediately, the smoke billowed, and the oil drums were all set on fire!

When the crude oil is extracted, it is a black viscous thing. These crude oils need to be refined to obtain various manufactured products, such as diesel oil, gasoline, kerosene, heavy oil, asphalt and so on.

Gasoline and kerosene can be ignited directly, but diesel and heavy oil cannot be ignited directly. The problem is the structure of the oil.

Light fuels can be ignited directly, but heavy fuels cannot.

Putting it on crude oil is the same, heavy crude oil cannot be directly ignited, but light crude oil can.

Now, just to be on the safe side, first light the torch, then use the torch to light the crude oil, and it will be lit.

When the torch was thrown into the oil barrel, the flames inside burned roaringly within a few seconds, and a huge black smoke came out at the same time.

One by one, the fire points were ignited, and the thick smoke quickly became dense, covering the entire oil field and the surrounding area.

In the distant sky, there was a rumbling sound.

British Bomber Force, Arrived!

Philip's bomber flew at the forefront of the entire formation. The weather was good all the way over. He was full of confidence in this bombing.

In particular, he was even more confident when the entire fleet flew over the border and into the desert without any obstruction.

You know, Libya is full of deserts, and the population is mainly concentrated in the coastal areas.

Like these inland oil fields, except for oil workers, only oases are inhabited, so although they flew all the way from Egypt along the inland, they don't have to worry about being discovered.

The sky was clear and it was a good day for bombing.

"Going over the target," the navigator told him behind him.

About to enter the sky above the target, use the incendiary bombs carried by yourself to set the entire oil field on fire! Philip thought in his heart, and could not help but glance at the distant land.

This sight made his heart go cold.

what is that?

As far as Philip's field of vision can reach, there is actually a billowing black smoke that is spreading into the sky. The black smoke is quite dense, and the area is quite large!

"Damn, these Germans!" Philip cursed involuntarily.

Of course, Philip knew that these thick smoke did not appear naturally, but were definitely directed by humans.

What are those Germans doing?

Did they know that they were coming to bomb, so they deliberately set the oil well on fire? If we really want to do this, we can only say that the Germans are too cruel. They are ruthless to the enemy and ruthless to themselves.

In order to prevent the UK from blowing up, they lighted it themselves? What's going on here?

"Attention, order the entire squadron, lower the altitude, let's go down and see." Philip shouted.

In a three-seat arrangement, in the last seat, the radio operator and rear seat machine gunner sat. After he heard Philip's order, he immediately adjusted the radio and gave Philip's order.

"Attention No. 12 Squadron, drop altitude immediately, drop altitude immediately."

The "fighter" bomber lowered its height, from a height of 3,000 meters, to more than 100 meters, and at the same time, it was getting closer and closer to the thick smoke.

Philip's heart was full of doubts.

It's too important for the Germans to set it on fire? Maybe it was the smoke they deliberately released, trying to make their own side come back in vain!

If that's the case, then look down on the RAF!

Their flying skills are quite superb. If the other party deliberately releases smoke screens, which smoke screens can they pass through!

You must know that the higher the thick smoke, the larger the area of ​​diffusion, and there will definitely be gaps in the lower places, which can be drilled through!

At a height of 100 meters, you can easily see the fire source in the distance. It seems that there is definitely a problem, continue to lower the height!

"They ignited not oil wells, but oil barrels. Fly in and look for oil wells to attack!" Philip shouted suddenly.

The pilot's eyesight is quite sharp. Philip has already seen those fire sources in the outermost layer. There is no kowtow machine on the fire source, which means that it is not an oil well!

Moreover, he also judged that it was an oil barrel based on the height of those fire sources!

Fly in and attack!

If they had just flown too high, they would have passed through the thick smoke and made them return in vain, but now, at ultra-low altitude, drill in, look for oil wells, and attack!

The distance between the fire source and the fire source is large enough for his bomber to easily pass through, lowering the plane to a height of fifty meters, with a surging momentum, Philip's bomber, the first to get in!

It's not that easy to fool the Royal Air Force!

With this superb technology, Philip's bomber is interspersed in the gap between the fire sources, and he wants to find the location of the oil well!

Behind him, the other bombers, like him, swooped down nimbly and burrowed in.

Only those twin-engine bombers are not as flexible as this single-engine bomber, they dare not come down and can only hover in the air.

The engine of the "fighter" bomber made a rumbling sound, the propeller stirred the air flow, and from time to time a black smoke flew by. Philip's attention was highly nervous. If he flew directly into the black smoke, once the engine swallowed the smoke, it might be The flameout, at such a low height, will definitely fall off after the flameout.

Fortunately, this light bomber, as agile as a biplane, doesn't matter if it shuttles back and forth in the flames.

However, as he moved forward, the unease in his heart became more and more.

According to his plan, when his plane drilled into these flames, he should be able to easily find the kowtowers of those oil wells, but now, after passing through dozens of flames, nothing has been found!

what happened?

The more he flew forward, the more uneasiness in Philip's heart, he plunged in to look for the oil well, but couldn't find it. What did this mean?

Oil fields, most likely not here! Here is a trap set by the Germans!

What should we do now? Can he just pull up, go through the smoky area, and fly high into the sky? no! In that case, his engine will definitely be turned off due to swallowing a lot of black smoke, and he can't go back in circles, it is easy to collide with the plane coming in behind, he can only fly forward!

At this time, Philip had lost the confidence he had just now, and he felt more and more terrifying.
