"There are signs of departure from the port of the Russian fleet, we cannot observe the details, but judging by the size it may be the main fleet. "While the Count was having dinner, a telegram from the UB-15 submarine was delivered to the Count's table.www.biquge.info

"What are the Russians trying to do?" The Count felt more and more that something was wrong. The Grand Fleet sortie at night? What do they want to do? Do you fight at night? The mine array outside the harbor taught them how to be human first. The Count shook his head, although there were no heavy artillery in Port Ereli, the defensive minefields outside were enough to buy time for the fleet to deploy. So in the eyes of the count, it seemed impossible for Herreli, and even less so for Constantinople. It was the capital of Turkey, and it was not that the count looked down on the Russians, and as far as the Russian fleet was concerned, it was estimated that it would not have any advantage in the confrontation with the shore guns of Constantinople.

"They're not going to be eyeing Lucknar's fleet, are they?" The Earl thought with a frown. Luknar's fleet consisted of only 1 super-dreadnought and 2 armored cruisers. The Russians are 2 dreadnoughts and 4 former dreadnoughts. The latter has some advantages, and if you count the sneak attack, then maybe you can really bite off a piece of meat!

"But it's a chance!" The Count put down the telegram in his hand. "If the Russians do come out, then we will also act and tell Major General Luknar to be careful. And then we act too, just tomorrow! But this time, we're going to go to the Russians' doorstep and block them! ”

As a result, a chaotic transfer kicked off the war. The Russian fleet was ready to fall to the port of Ereli and take advantage of the fire to loot. And Count Spee thought that the Russians might go to Count Luckner's troubles. Count Lukner's plans to go to Romania were interrupted, and he began to wonder how to meet the Russian fleet, his super dreadnought battleship and two armored cruisers had a speed advantage!

Of course, none of this matters, it's the Grim Reaper who really determines the direction of this battle in the air! At 2 a.m., four British airports on the Akti Peninsula begin to release the long-awaited flock of eagles! There were three bomber groups in total, the bomber group attacking Ereli was the first to sortie, they dispersed to Ereli in squadrons with the help of 2 or 3 guidance aircraft, what? Why not go along? What do you think? Big formations at night? Let's talk about it in World War 2.

"This attack will surely go down in history, whether it was successful or not." Sitting in the huge cabin of a V1500 4-engine bomber. Looking at the brightly lit airfield, Colonel Schott, who was in charge of attacking Port Ereli, said with great emotion. Concentrating so many bombers on one target is a breakthrough for the British Air Force! The number may not be the largest, but in terms of the gold content of the equipment and the attack range, the British set a record!

The 2 bomber squadrons under the command of Colonel Schott will complete the formation after takeoff, and then navigate by intermittent lateral directions of several radio signal transmitting stations, which must have been erroneous, so how to fly to Port Ereli in the end? It's very simple, after daytime, determine your position according to the markers on the ground! Otherwise, why did the British reconnaissance plane take so long to reconnoitre? Isn't it just to make all the crews involved in the bombing go around the target area? Now everyone is in a formation when they set off, and after a few hours of flying, half of them can still hug each other! Don't look at the planes in the air that have tail lights and wing lights to assist flight, but these are virtual. The British tried, these things only reduce the probability of collision, navigation? Forget it. Maybe in the blink of an eye, the plane in front of you will be in the dark!

Almost all the lighting facilities at the airport were turned on, and in the daylight environment, the elite of the British Air Force successfully sent these big guys loaded with torpedoes and bombshells into the sky, and the plane climb was a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing in this era, in order to climb to an altitude of 2500 meters, the V1500 bomber loaded with 800KG torpedoes and the FB27 bomber loaded with 500KG bombs climbed for half an hour ....... Subsequently, the huge planes formed a scattered formation in the air, and then flew to the target in the southeast direction with the help of the guide plane!

The entire take-off process lasted about 50 minutes. And the formation took nearly 45 minutes, and after burning hundreds of kilograms of gasoline, the British bomber formation was just embarking on the journey! Huge gray Grim Reapers' spikes melted into the night sky, with only the flickering taillights marking their flight paths. The huge wings are like the spread wings of the Grim Reaper, and the torpedoes and bombs hanging under the belly of the plane are the scythe of the Grim Reaper! Nightfall was woven into their gray cloaks, and aviation technology revealed its hideousness on the battlefield from the moment they staggered out of the cradle!

During the long flight, Colonel Short even had the leisure to open the kettle, of course, it could not be wine, it was boiled Ceylon black tea, think about it, the British in later generations can stuff a teapot in the Challenger 2 tank, which shows the black tea plot of the British. For a few hours, apart from the constant checking of flight routes by navigators and pilots, the rest of the day was mostly easy.

"Madan, a few more were lost." When Colonel Short looked behind him, he saw that several planes that were supposed to be in his northwest direction were out of sight. Because the wing lights that used to shine like stars are gone! Although he had expected it, the loss of about a third of his teammates just after halfway through the flight still made the colonel feel very depressed.

Of course, it is also possible that you are on the wrong path and your teammates are on the right track. Before coming, Lieutenant General Trenchard stressed the need to trust the instruments, the radio, not your own feelings! That's right. The role of the eyes at night is very limited. It's hard to keep up with the lights because you don't know when, the plane will be in the clouds, and then it's dark, all you can do is confirm your general position according to the radio direction finding, and then wait until daytime to finally calibrate your course according to the ground markers!

So, when the first rays of sunlight shine on the earth, you will definitely not see the target, so the correct thing to do is to find the marker from the ground, then determine your position, and then fly over it according to the map. "Hopefully it won't be too bad." Colonel Short said after taking a sip of black tea.

The huge V1500 bomber was flying slowly in the air at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour. Four Royce Rolls-made Eagle V12 engines propelled the 12-tonne behemoth to take off. One of the most powerful aerial beasts of this era gracefully streaked across the night sky, turning a new page in history.
