"His Excellency Commander, Crozier Airport was attacked, and at least 100 bombers launched air strikes on the airport. The ammunition and oil depots were attacked by heavy armor-piercing bombs and have been destroyed. The entire airport lost more than 40 aircraft, and no more than 5 can take off now! The loss of personnel is under statistics, but there are now more than 400 casualties."

"Dunkirk 2 Airport was attacked, and the 30 camel fighters we had just arrived from the homeland were destroyed in the airport, and the Germans even attacked nearby ports."

"The Air Force reconnaissance aircraft discovered a large number of heavy three-engine bombers, which should be an improved version of the German long-range patrol aircraft that appeared in the Shetland Islands. We used to think this was a special German aircraft, but today, we found at least 200 bombers of this type participated in the bombing. Their load and range should be similar to our v1500, because these aircraft did not take off from the frontline airport, but should be in the eastern part of Belgium, and they also carry more than 1 ton of super bombs, so the flight performance should be similar to the v1500. In terms of speed and defensive firepower, the Germans are better."

The successive bad news flew over like snowflakes, which made Trenchard feel exhausted, and a strong sense of despair and powerlessness arose. Although the specific losses are not known yet, Trenchard knew that after this battle, it would be difficult for the British Airways to have a significant impact on the ground war situation, because in the German counterattack, the British lost too many bombers, front-line airports and supplies. Just talk about Crozier Airport. If Trenchard remembers correctly, three days ago, at least 600 tons of aviation fuel and automobile fuel were stored here!

"Hissergeant Commander, Marshal Heg's phone number." At this time, the words of a staff officer broke Trenchad's meditation. After stabilizing his emotions, Trenchad took the phone.

"I want to know what the situation is now? The German bombs were thrown next to my headquarters!" General Hege's words rarely showed a hint of nervousness and panic. Today's events were too much for him. This morning, the British also concentrated hundreds of various planes to attack the Germans. As a result, at noon, the overwhelming German bombers covered the British positions like black clouds. They easily killed several key airports with their backhand, and also bombed other targets like a rabbit.

Marshal Heg's British Expeditionary Force Command was also included! Of course, this was not the Germans who learned about the specific location of the Marshal Heg's headquarters. As an old bird who had fought with the Germans on the Western Front for more than a year, Marshal Heg's war qualities were still there. First of all, he tried to reduce the frequency of radio use, most of the commands and intelligence were spread by phone, and some fake targets were set up around the headquarters to confuse the opponent. This time, the German bombing was not for General Heg, but there was a parking lot of the Army Group next to him. Seeing those precious cars, the Germans decisively threw the bomb down...

"The situation is very bad, we were caught off guard. The Germans have been preparing to launch a strategic air strike on us, and now they have accumulated strength and found a suitable breakthrough." Trenchard is worthy of being the strongest strategic and tactical master in the British Airways team. In the past period, he has figured out the whole story!

"Before, although they had strong power, they could not find our true core airport from hundreds of airports. So, they set up a trap. After our large aircraft group launched an attack, the German interceptor troops deliberately set a way out, while the reconnaissance aircraft followed these returning aircraft groups and guided subsequent bombers to launch a deadly air strike on us. We suffered heavy losses unexpectedly. From now on, the British Imperial Army Air Force may only be a tactical force." Trenchard said.

"Okay, we won't talk about the bomber problem for the time being, but at least, now, the fighter jets of the air force should ensure the safety of our heads! We can no longer let the German bombers rage over us. You know, before, when we had an advantage, the rear units did not make any air defense preparations, and now, thousands of German planes threw bombs over our heads. Do you know how terrifying this is?" Marshal Heg also knew the current situation, so he did not make excessive demands. At least in his opinion, this requirement is really not excessive.

"It's hard, Commander, now we know nothing about the German bombing targets and offensive plans. You know, behind hundreds of kilometers of fronts, there are thousands of valuable targets. The Germans can choose several as attack targets. He chose our airport today, maybe tomorrow it will be a train station, a troop station or an artillery position. It is impossible to simply send fighter jets to deal with it. We need to wait and analyze the Germans' plans, and then concentrate our forces to launch a raid on one of their bombers and severely damage them! The large number of people and aircraft are the only way for us to curb the opponent's bombing!" Trenchard said.

The offensive party has the initiative. They can choose to launch an attack at any time and place they think is suitable, and the information obtained by the defense party is lagging behind, and the reaction is even more lagging behind. Therefore, when the strength is weak, being led by the opponent will definitely be a dead end. The only way is to bear certain losses, concentrate your strength to severely damage the opponent, and then turn passive to active.

"I understand the tactical truth." General Heg said. "But the entire Western Front is not only the Air Force, but also the key parts of the army, logistics and transportation, and some important nodes cannot be missed! I can tolerate some of your unconventional mobilizations, but I have a requirement that if I decide to send the Air Force to fight, you must concentrate your strength and launch an attack!"

"Okay. I will do my best." Trenchad said. After talking about the battlefield situation, the two sides ended the phone conversation. The first thing Trenchad did next was to quickly pull all the frontier aircraft groups to the second and third-tier airports in the rear and reorganize them. Trenchad also ordered that except for individual wings, all aircraft could not be easily launched into air combat! He also asked some light bombers to be converted into interceptors!
