"The distance is fifty kilometers." New target data came from the radar station.

Fifty kilometers away from the radar, but it was only about 200 kilometers to our side. Neuer wrote his fist and said to Krim beside him: "Light up!"

ignition!

With the order, a famous oil worker lit a torch dipped in gasoline with the matches and lighters in his hand, and then threw the torch into half of the oil barrel.

Immediately, smoke and dust rolled, and the oil barrels were lit!

When crude oil is extracted, it is black and viscous. These crude oils need to be refined to obtain various finished products, such as diesel, gasoline, kerosene, heavy oil, asphalt, etc.

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 fuel can be ignited directly, but heavy fuels cannot do it.

The same is true when put on crude oil. Heavy crude oil cannot be ignited directly, but light crude oil can.

Now, to be on the safe side, light the torch first, then use the torch to ignite the crude oil, and then you can ignite it.

When the torch was thrown into the oil barrel, in a few seconds, the flames inside began to burn, and huge black smoke emerged.

The ignition points were ignited, and thick smoke soon became dense, covering the entire oil field and nearby areas.

There was a rumbling sound from the sky in the distance.

The British bomber troops arrived!

Philip's bomber flew at the forefront of the entire formation. The weather was very good along the way, and he was full of confidence in this bombing.

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

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

Inland oil fields, except for oil workers, only oasis places are inhabited, so although they flew all the way from Egypt along the inland, there is no need to worry about being discovered.

The sky is clear and it is a good weather for bombing.

"It's about to enter the sky above the target." Behind him, the navigator said to him.

I am about to enter the sky above the target and use the incendiary bombs I carry to ignite the entire oil field! Philip thought in his heart and couldn't help but look at the distant land.

This look made his heart chill.

What is that?

Wherever Philip's vision was reaching, there was actually a rolling black smoke spreading into the sky. The black smoke was quite rich and had a considerable area!

"Damn, these Germans!" Philip couldn't help but curse.

Of course, Philip knew that these thick smoke did not appear naturally, and were definitely artificially directed.

What are those Germans doing?

Did they know that they were coming to bomb, so they deliberately lit the oil well? If they really wanted to do this, they could only say that the Germans were too cruel, cruel to the enemy and to themselves.

In order not to let the UK bomb, they lit it first? What's going on?

"Note, order the entire squadron to lower the height, let's go down and see." Philip shouted.

The layout of three seats was arranged, and in the last seat was a radio and back-seat machine gunner. After hearing Philip's orders, he immediately adjusted the radio station and issued Philip's orders.

"The 2nd Squadron should pay attention to the height immediately, and the height immediately."

The "Combat" bomber lowered its altitude from a height of three thousand meters to more than one hundred meters. At the same time, it was getting closer and closer to the thick smoke.

Philip was full of doubts.

This place is so important to the Germans, and they are willing to light it? Maybe it was the smoke they deliberately released, trying to make their side return in vain!

If that's the case, then you'll underestimate the Royal Air Force too much!

Our side’s flight skills are quite superb. If the other side deliberately releases the smoke screen, then which smoke screens can we pass through!

You should know that the higher the thick smoke, the larger the area of ​​diffusion. At the low point, there will definitely be gaps that can be passed 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!

"What they ignited was not the oil well, but the oil barrels. Fly in and look for the oil well to attack!" Philip suddenly shouted.

The pilot's eyesight is quite keen. Philip has seen the outermost fire sources. There is no kowtower on the fire source, which means it is not an oil well!

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

Fly in and attack!

If the flight altitude was too high just now, it would definitely pass through this thick smoke, causing them to return to the point of failure. Now, at a very low altitude, drill in, look for oil wells, and attack!

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

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

With this superb technology, Philip's bomber was interspersed in the gap between the fire sources, and he was looking for the location of the oil well!

Behind him, the other bombers, like him, also swooped down flexibly and then got in.

Only those two-engine bombers are not as flexible as this single-engine. They dare not come down and can only circle in the air.

The engine of the "Combat" bomber made a rumble sound, and the propeller stirred the airflow, and a stream of black smoke flew by from time to time. Philip's attention was extremely nervous. If he flew directly into the black smoke, once the engine swallowed the smoke, it might turn off. At such a low altitude, it would definitely fall off after the engine was turned off.

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

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

According to his plan, when his plane drilled into these flames, he should be able to easily discover the kowtowers of the oil wells, but now, he has traveled through dozens of flames, but there are still no discoveries!

What's going on?

The more he flew forward, the more uneasiness he felt in Philip. He plunged in and looked for the oil well but failed to find it. What does this mean?

The oil field is probably not here! This is a trap set by the Germans!

What should I do now? Can he pull it up directly, cross the black smoke area and fly to a high altitude? No! In that case, his engine will definitely be shut down because he swallowed a lot of black smoke. He can't go back in circles, and it is easy to collide with the plane coming in behind, so he can only fly forward!
Chapter completed!
