The battle for Portsmouth Harbour is over, and the military port, shipyards and city are in flames. Song Tao and the assault team retreated to the eastern part of Portey Island, preparing to take over Wang Xiaojie's special operations infiltration team.

Other officers and men had already boarded several battleships of the fleet at the pier and withdrew from the port. Before they left, they dragged several huge sailboats, which were blown up and sunk at the entrance, blocking the passage to the military port.

Song Tao looked at the flames of Portsmouth in the distance, and still felt a little emotion in his heart, this is Portsmouth, the Normandy landing operation of the Allied forces in the future started from here, and the military port that has been hundreds of years old has now been burned by them.

"Old Song, I'm Wang Xiaojie, the special operations infiltration team, has flown over Portsmouth."

Just when Song Tao was full of emotion, Wang Xiaojie's voice came from the radio microphone behind him on the back of the communicator. Song Tao picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "Your movements are fast enough, I will immediately arrange for someone on the ground to indicate the landing place for you." ”

"Haha...... No, Portsmouth was burned like this by you, and we could see it soon after we flew out of London, burning like a big candle, and we didn't even use a compass for the rest of the year, so I'd better land where I chose. ”

"Well, stay safe, and try to find a suitable place to land in the eastern part of Portsea Island, where the terrain is flat. Don't go to the military port, the fire there is too big, and then suck you in. ”

∮ Wang Xiaojie, their actions were much earlier than Song Tao's main fleet, and soon after dark, they flew towards London in a paramotor. The Special Operations Infiltration Team landed in a sparsely populated area of farmland on the outskirts of London, surrounded by pitch black.

After the special operations infiltration team landed safely, they hid four paramotors in a dense forest nearby. Then he took up his supplies and took advantage of the cover of night to march towards the city of London. It's nearly midnight. Wang Xiaojie, Zhang Yufei and other six special combat team members carefully infiltrated the city of London with equipment on their backs.

Wang Xiaojie stopped, then raised his fist and squatted down, he turned around and whispered: "Now start to face the table, Feizi, we will each lead people to divide the troops into two ways." Find your own target. Meet here an hour later. ”

Zhang Yufei nodded, and then separated from Wang Xiaojie and got into the dark night.

An hour later, Wang Xiaojie and Zhang Yufei each returned here with two special combat team members, Zhang Yufei smiled and said, "Are you moving smoothly?" ”

Wang Xiaojie made an OK gesture, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's good to see the curative effect!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard him. They took out the four paramotors hidden here in the dense forest and launched them into the air. They took another look at London in the air, and then flew southwest to Portsmouth.

They descended on a flat ground in the eastern part of Portsea Island. Song Tao ran over and patted them vigorously. Haha laughed and said, "How was this trip?" You're not in trouble, are you? ”

Wang Xiaojie said with a smile while taking off his equipment: "It may be that our bad luck ran out before, everyone flew to London, to the action of entering the city, and finally took off and returned, even I can't believe it." ”

Song Tao laughed when he heard this: "I think it's the relationship between Lao Ding being banned, his crow mouth is no longer talking, and our luck will be good soon." ”

They made a fuss here for a while. Then he carried his equipment to the beach and got on the assault boats that had been waiting here for a long time. Returned to the fleet on the distant sea. The operation was indeed incredible, whether it was Portsmouth or London, and there were almost no surprises in the whole operation.

In the wee hours of the morning, London, England, is still immersed in tranquility.

The city of London in this era was very close-knit, in the center of London in the 17th century. The buildings were next to each other, and the streets were so narrow that it was as if everything had been squeezed together, condensed into a small area.

A large number of middle-class, poor people in the urban area began to move here, and the poor people had no money to rent a house. So a large number of thatched houses were built in the city center, and on weekdays, they also did small business in the crowded downtown market. More and more thatched houses, cheap and economical wooden houses, crowded streets, bazaars, and blacksmith shops are densely stacked.

These buildings are dotted along the banks of the River Thames, and along the banks of the river are full of moored docks, and warehouses are connected one after another. Several of the warehouses were filled with wood, oilseeds, brandy, vegetable oil, butter and other flammable materials. In an inconspicuous place in the warehouse, there is a constant "click" sound.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang of "......boom", and a scorching flame exploded in an instant.

The furious flames spread rapidly through the warehouse, and the flammable materials in the warehouse exploded and burned one after another. In an instant, the nearby warehouses were set on fire, and one by one the warehouses exploded one after another like chain bombs, and then a raging fire ignited.

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen places in the city of London also exploded and burned one after another, and the fire that broke out in an instant was very fierce. The wind swept the sparks, and soon, the communities around a dozen of the fire points turned into patches of fire.

As soon as the fire was in place, with the help of the wind, the flames began to spread unscrupulously and rapidly to all sides.

In a city full of asphalt-soaked wood and wooden structures everywhere, a fire can be out of control. In this era, there was no fire alarm system, and the fire brigade could not be more primitive, and it was useless to extinguish the fire with buckets and primitive water pipes, and it was impossible to control such a large fire.

The fire swept across the Thames and burned to the opposite bank. A fire also broke out in Southwalk, and London Bridge was also burned, and shops on both sides of London Bridge were caught in flames. The town hall and the financial center of the City of London, the royal exchange, have been reduced to ashes.

The people who woke up from their sleep hurriedly rolled up their bunks, took everything they could to bring with them, and ran desperately around the city. The whole of London is completely in shambles. King Charles I himself went to the scene of the fire and tried to direct the firefighting, but he did not stay long before his hair was burned by the raging heat, and he fled to the countryside with his guards and retinue.

The people of the city also fled outside the city, leaving the crowd to wreak havoc in the city.

The fire raged for several days, and old medieval London burned to the ground. The city inside the city walls was burned to ashes, and hundreds of acres of land outside the city walls were burned to the ground. St. Paul's Cathedral was burned down, along with more than 100 churches and more than 20,000 houses.

The worst of the disaster was St. Paul's Cathedral. The heat wave caused the stone artifacts to explode, and even the ancient tombs were blown open, revealing many mummified corpses. The top of the cathedral was melted, and the melted lead melted flooded the nearby streets. In the weeks that followed, London was filled with smoldering fires, while the cellars continued to burn for six months.

A nobleman who experienced the fire wrote in his diary: "There used to be a city called London, but now it no longer exists. (To be continued......)
