"Do you really want to do such a mission?" A German pilot looked at his commander with an expression of disbelief on his face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the mission just announced, after a few days of a pause in bombing, they are going to make another large-scale visit to the city of London.

The flames there have been extinguished, the rubble there may have been cleared, so they are going to go again and drop thousands of tons of bombs there.

"Who told you to drop a bomb?" With a smile on his face, the chief said, "This time, I didn't drop bombs, I went to do two things!" ”

"Two things?" When the pilot heard that he was not going to drop the bomb, he obviously didn't know what to say.

"This time you take off, your main task is to go and drop the printed leaflets to the British!" The officer smiled and pointed to the leaflets that had been bundled up and were ready to be dropped over London.

These leaflets were printed very sloppily, after all, it was still a big project to rush to print hundreds of thousands of leaflets before September 10.

On the scribbled flyer was a blurry photograph of Rommel in the small town of Selum. In fact, this photo was taken at the end of August, during the retreat to Selum.

But Goebbels, who had been instructed to publicize Rommel's re-entry into Selum, certainly did not mind some well-intentioned deception.

In fact, on the morning of this day, German armored units had already appeared on the outskirts of the Nira in West Dubai, saying that they had occupied Selum, which was definitely not a lie.

"Sir! Can you believe such a flyer? Looking at the printed leaflets, with the date Sept. 9 written in large English, the pilot asked.

The layout of the leaflet was no match for today's computer layout, except for a large photograph and the huge text below the photograph of the German army entering Selum on September 9, which left a similar persuasion to surrender quickly.

Everyone is not optimistic about how much of the significance of this kind of leaflet is to persuade them to surrender, and Goebbels and Li Le drew up such an airdrop plan just to slap Churchill in the face.

Another reason is that using their own radar for experiments, German scientists have found a machine that can receive radar beams!

This machine was an early radar warning system, and although it was impossible to determine the exact location of enemy radar, it could provide a rough warning to bomber and fighter units.

For example, it can know if there is an enemy radar working nearby, which can give the German top brass a grasp of the completion of the radar reconstruction work on the British mainland.

For example, it can help pilots know that the enemy has spotted them and that enemy fighters are coming - either turn back or be on alert!

Therefore, one of the purposes of this flight was to mix the bombers equipped with this instrument into this batch of planes that delivered leaflets and test their role in actual combat.

"Hop on the plane! Let's go! Let the British see how badly they have lost elsewhere! Seeing that all the bombers were ready, the officer ordered loudly.

On the morning of September 10, German bombers resumed bombing of London, and the skies over London, which had been calm for 10 days, sounded again a shrill siren.

However, the expected explosion did not occur, the city did not catch fire, and the air defense forces watched as the planes dropped countless scattered leaflets as if it had snowed.

Soon, the leaflets landed on the ground, some tumbled in the air with the wind, and some fell directly into the Thames.

These sloppy leaflets, printed in a very sloppy manner, attracted the attention of civilians who walked out of the bomb shelters after the air raid sirens were lifted.

They picked up the flyer at their feet and looked at the huge Sept. 9 number on the flyer in bewilderment.

"Hey! Did something happen yesterday? An old man holding a leaflet asked the army soldier who was also a little confused standing next to him.

The soldier was at the door of the bomb shelter to maintain security, and he was also looking at the leaflet in his hand, hoping that he could see something from it.

"The Germans landed yesterday?" A woman opened her mouth in fear and asked the army soldier in front of her, who still hadn't spoken.

"Oh! Lady! The Germans did not land! Believe me! The soldier finally realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly opened his mouth to explain.

He raised the leaflet in his hand and asked loudly: "Who knows where Selum is!" Who knows this? Explain it to everyone! ”

To the average Londoner, Selum is not a familiar place name. After all, even today, few people can recite all the place names of their homeland.

"It's like a city in North Africa!" A middle-aged gentleman who had read the newspaper the other day remembered the name of the city.

Almost twenty days ago, the British government hyped up that Admiral Wavell had defeated Italy in North Africa and regained places including the Nira in West Dubai.

At that time, everyone was talking about Admiral Wavell and about the great victory in North Africa, but few people paid attention to the small Egyptian border city of Selum.

The town was so small that it could only be inhabited by 3,000 locals, and it could be considered a small town at most in the UK mainland.

"My God! It's not like the Germans landed! The British woman, who had been terrified just now, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone was relieved to hear that it was happening in distant North Africa. After all, it's so far away, it doesn't immediately pose a threat to itself, does it?

Compared with such a horrific thing as the landing of the German Army on British soil, the loss of a small city on the battlefield in North Africa is completely acceptable.

"So, the Germans counterattacked? Defeated our army in North Africa? After a sigh of relief, someone realized why the Germans had done what they had done.

The British victory in North Africa seemed to have been a short-lived victory, and now the Axis powers have fought back in North Africa and have taken the first city......

"Since it wasn't the Germans who landed, it would be easy to do." A woman who has a son at home who is a soldier on the coastline said with a relieved heart.

For civilians, it is already a good situation that their country has not been invaded and their families do not have to face danger.

"So, Admiral Wavell failed?" A young man straddled the canvas bag and asked curiously.

In fact, ten days ago, there was news that Admiral Wavell had been captured by the Germans, but this rumor came from the enemy's radio station, and the official did not admit it.

Now, the German army has once again counterattacked and taken a border city in Egypt, which confirms the news of the defeat of Admiral Wavell.

It is not that Germany does not have its own espionage system in Britain, but because the relationship between the two countries has not been close, the spies planted in it cannot obtain valuable information.

However, even so, it was very simple for these spies to send back home the news that a similar enemy had blocked the defeat in North Africa.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Le and Goebbels decided to launch this battle of public opinion, using bloody facts to awaken the war-weariness of British civilians.

"Hell! Are the Germans really that good? Or are our commanders all too stupid? A British civilian complained from a distance.

The British infantryman, standing among them, with weapons on his back, could only do what he was supposed to do: "Gentlemen! Hold your horses! Collect the leaflets that the Germans threw down to deceive us and give them to me! ”

It has to be said that throughout the course of World War II, Britain's experience and practices in terms of state organization were commendable.

Britain's spirit of obedience to discipline and willingness to support the motherland is worth learning from other countries.

"Hello? I see it! You say be careful! In the British Prime Minister's office, Churchill grabbed the phone in frustration, annoyed by the report there.

When he left the anti-aircraft underground bunker just now, he had already seen a lot of German leaflets on the street.

Even someone had already sent one in front of him, and he saw the content on it that gave him a headache.

Germany really will not allow him to manipulate public opinion and the media, and will not watch him hide the real war situation in North Africa.

It is not known whether it was to expose his lies, or because they were well prepared, the German army began to attack.

Moreover, the speed of the attack is still very fast. Yesterday, he had already received a report from the direction of North Africa that Selum had been captured by the Germans.

It was not much news to be hyped up, and the British soldiers were annihilated by less than 500 because they did not have time to retreat.

In comparison, even the number of seafarers who die every day in a sneak attack by the submarine forces of the German Navy may not be less than this number.

However, as if he was slapping him in the face, more than ten days ago, he had just reported on the course of the North African campaign in a way that avoided the important and trivialized.

As a result, the day before yesterday, the German army launched a counterattack - now it is estimated that it has all reached the West Dubai Nira, how can it not make him nervous.

"And what about the commander of our North African Army Group Nile?" Churchill anxiously asked a question: "What does he think about this?" ”

Now, the so-called Army Group Nile is left with only one Australian 6th Infantry Division, which has just arrived in North Africa.

And the famous units, such as the 7th Panzer Division, have actually been annihilated.

"Sir! General Cunningham is powerless to fight back! Only to give up West Dubai Nila! One of his men replied.

"Rommel! Rommel! Churchill looked at the leaflet on the table, which was already full of London, and vented with a hideous face: "Just defeat him!" Anything goes! ”
