Chapter 684: Bombing the Factory
The power of a 500-kilogram aerial bomb, dropped from a height of four thousand meters, was amazing.
When the bomb exploded, the fireball illuminated the entire factory, and under the huge shock wave, the nearest driver was immediately flattened, and the shock wave spread, and the glass on the nearby factory was shattered!
The workers inside the factory looked out the window with amazement, and when there was a loud explosion, when the glass was shattered, they intuitively thought it was a factory accident, such as the explosion of a container storing flammable goods.
But then, someone came to his senses: "Quick, fast forward to the air defense bunker, air strike!" ”
"Boom, boom!" At this moment, a continuous explosion was heard.
"Whoa!" The factory roof above their heads suddenly made a terrible sound, and when they looked up, they saw a huge bomb falling from the roof.
Run? It's too late!
Under their astonished gaze, the bomb smashed through the roof, followed by a deafening explosion.
"Boom!" The whole plant has been lifted up!
Countless people screamed, hit by broken shrapnel, blood splattered, and severed limbs flew everywhere!
A huge fireball came out of the factory, and the entire factory was lit up!
Only then did the air raid siren sound.
In the sharp siren, countless people looked at the sky with frightened eyes, looking at the terrible bomb, under the light of the fire here, like a demon coming out of hell, falling from the sky!
One another, another!
High-precision bombing sights, reliable and effective action plans, so that the bombing, particularly thorough, dozens of Junkers-290 bombers flew over, the entire plant, into ruins!
In addition to the destruction of a large number of machinery and equipment, what is even more terrifying is that the British were completely defenseless in this bombing! They did not expect that the Germans would cross the depths and come here to bomb, and their workers, did not hide in bomb shelters.
A large number of skilled aircraft assemblers, in this bombing, suffered heavy losses!
This batch of Junkers-290 bombers belongs to the farthest flight into the UK, at this time, the huge bomber group, almost all around the south of the UK, carrying out a wild and indiscriminate bombing!
There is more than one plant for Spitfires, and in Woolston, a suburb of Southampton, there is also a plant for the same Spitfires.
If you look at the map, you can see that Southampton is almost on the north shore of the channel, so the factories here are on guard.
Immediately after the German ballistic missile attack, the news of the light control was received here.
The entire factory turned off all the lights, the machines stopped running temporarily, and the workers on the production line rushed to the preset anti-aircraft bunkers.
It was a good opportunity to rest for the workers, who have been busy on the production line almost all the time these days, and many of them have just entered the bunker and found a place to fall asleep.
Their dreams are sweet.
They don't know that many people, this sleep, will never wake up again.
The two engines were roaring, the night sky was dark, and the bombing of large formations at night was a demonstration of the progress of the Luftwaffe bomber unit!
Major Helmutpoyler sat in his cockpit, and this time, he led 20 Junker 88 bombers in the direction of Woolston.
In the distance, the difficult ones will be handed over to the Junkers 290 bombers to bomb, and these on the coastline will all be handed over to the Junkers 88 bombers!
In fact, in the field of German bomber development, in addition to the Junkers company, there is also the Henschel company, and their twin-engine bomber, HE111, is actually already good in performance.
Unfortunately, this kind of bomber has never been in the eyes of the leader Ciric, so the production is mainly for export, and in the German bomber force, a total of 200 are not equipped.
The main force of Germany's medium bombers is still the Junkers-88.
After going out of the skies over France, the course was adjusted for the last time, and the entire fleet was almost a non-stop flight to Woolston!
When you don't reach the British coastline, you can see pillars of light, and the British coastal defense forces have turned on all the searchlights.
The first wave of missile attacks only paralyzed the air defense of the British, destroying their fighters on the ground, but it was impossible for them to destroy all the air defense facilities.
For example, this anti-aircraft artillery and searchlights are arranged on the shore.
Although the searchlight looks terrifying, the pillars of light spin back and forth, but in reality, it can only illuminate a small area, and most of the space is still dark.
Major Helmutpole calmly gave the order: "Bypass the searchlights." ”
The Junkers-88 is a representative of the German medium bomber, this kind of aircraft, the maximum speed is the same as that of a fighter, although it is loaded with ammunition, the maneuverability is still outstanding.
The pilot pushed the joystick, expertly maneuvered between the beams of light, and soon, bypassed the searchlight.
Unless it is a group of lights composed of a large number of searchlights, as in London, the capital of the United Kingdom, and these coastal defenses are useless at all.
The searchlight troops on the ground knew that planes were coming, because there was the roar of rumbling planes overhead, but where the searchlights shone, there was nothing!
Next, it's time to find your goal!
After passing the shore defense forces, it took almost no effort to enter the bombing route, but the target entered the light control and it was pitch black.
Of course, this did not bother them, and soon, they spotted an arrow sign on the ground.
A few piles of firewood, burning in a field, although Britain has implemented light control, it is only a big city, an industrial area, this vast land, it is impossible to manage every place, they can't take care of it.
And here, I don't know when, all of a sudden, these firewood burned, as if they had been secretly lit by a few naughty boys.
Here, there are very few residents, no one notices the firewood burning here, and in the sky, it looks clear!
These piles of firewood form an arrow, as long as you follow the direction of the arrow and continue to fly ten kilometers, you will be able to reach the vicinity of the target!
"Unit 030, climb, ready to throw flares!" Major Helmutpole shouted over the radio.
The target has been lit up, how can I find it? By flares, of course!
This set of tactics has also been practiced many times in advance, and the pilots have cooperated tacitly, when the flare is thrown, the dark night sky will become brighter, just enough to see the target below!
