Time passed little by little, and among the ultra-low-flying bombers, the upper Garnay at the nose of the aircraft was the most nervous at this time.

According to the speed of the plane, he constantly marked it on his chart, and determined the distance traveled according to the time.

There is an error, and the biggest error comes from the speed of the aircraft.

In this era, the airspeed tube has begun to be used to measure the speed of the aircraft, and through the comparison of the static pressure and dynamic pressure in the tube, this airspeed tube has a big defect, that is, it can only measure the speed of the relative air.

If the air is not moving, it is the speed to the ground, if the air is moving, then the measurement can only be the speed of the relative air, how to know the speed of the outside air?

No way.

This is also an important problem faced by bomber navigation, and now Germany is solving this problem, and the solution is also very simple, speed radar, direct ground measurement, what is obtained is ground speed.

The Tu-4 bombers did not yet have such a device, and their measurements were destined to be only air measurements, so there would certainly be errors.

Previous errors, when passing through Prague, were calibrated once, and during the long flight, the errors have accumulated more than thirty kilometers.

Now, new errors must be accumulating, especially as Upper Garnay feels a little strange.

Although there are no special big cities along the way, there should always be rural areas, right?

Now, the farms in Germany are also very advanced, and the lights should be on in the peaceful villages at ten o'clock, but after coming all the way to Upper Garnay, after entering German airspace, there is no light on the ground.

This made their flight full of tension.

Ultra-low-altitude flight, which is already a test of the pilot's psychological quality, completely relies on instrument flight, and now, it is completely pitch black below, and they don't know where the ground is at all, which invisibly puts more pressure on them.

In this way, they continued to fly forward in the dark, flying, and the corresponding line on the chart in the hand of Upper Garnayi was getting closer and closer to the end.

"It is expected to reach the target in five minutes." Upper Garnay said.

"It is expected to reach the target in five minutes, ready to drop the bomb." Waslsyego shouted over the radio: "After dropping the bomb, immediately accelerate the climb and turn back according to the predetermined plan." ”

Five minutes to prepare!

After a long flight, everyone was tired, and now, seeing that they were about to get over their target, they picked themselves up again.

It was a miracle that they flew all the way and didn't encounter anything, as long as they dropped the bomb, they could successfully return home and complete this arduous flight mission.

Upper Garnay was still the most nervous, he had already begun to look down, staring at his sights, doubling the first to turn up and then to smaller, but it was dark below, and nothing could be seen.

Time continued to move forward, four, three, two, and it was still dark in front of him, and Upper Garnay shouted: "Commander, the target does not appear, nothing can be seen. ”

It was pitch black below, and there was no target in sight, and according to the chart that he had carefully marked, it was ahead.

What to do?

Two scenarios.

One is to lower the altitude and continue to fly downward, which may be clear.

One is to fly high, the higher you fly, the farther you can see, and now you can't see clearly, maybe you can see clearly when you fly high.

Waslsyego frowned, this is the worst-case scenario.

I thought that Munich was a big city with brilliant lights, even at night, it was very bright, but who would have thought that it was all dark below?

Is it your own route that is wrong?

So, he was about to pull up the plane and climb to the height, but at this moment, the pilot on the side, Brother Liber, had already shouted: "There seems to be a bright light ahead!" ”

At this time, they had actually flown over Munich, and they saw a faint light dozens of kilometers away.

"Fly to the bright light, we may have deviated from the course." Waslsjego said.

That light means that it is a city on the ground, and hope is the goal you are looking for!

Still ahead?

Upper Garnay, who was at the nose of the plane, also saw the bright spot in the distance at this time, and he looked at the chart again, if he followed his navigation data, it was already on the edge of the dangerous Alps.

Could it be an error in navigation?

Although Upper Garnay was very strange, he didn't think much about it, and since there was a light in front of him, he flew over to take a look.

The huge Tu-4 bomber continued to fly at an altitude of 500 meters above the ground, and time was still passing little by little, getting closer and closer to those lights.

"Attention, prepare to drop bombs." Waslsjego shouted over the radio.

Even if it wasn't Munich, they didn't have a choice, the flight was well planned, the fuel was just enough to make a round trip, and it was too dangerous to stay too long in the skies over Germany.

Complete the bombing and fly back safely!

One bomber after another, ready, the bomb bay door has been opened, as long as it flies over the target, it can drop bombs!

Upper Garnay was even more engrossed, his eyes were on the sight, carefully adjusting the sight, at this moment, he had the command power over the whole aircraft, he could fly as he wanted.

His right hand, resting on the weapon throw button, is ready to drop the bomb as soon as he finishes aiming.

At this point, the time starts measured in seconds.

On the nose of the plane, Liego and Wassertzyego sat side by side in the cabin, Liego kept the flight smooth, creating good conditions for the bomb drop, at the same time, his right hand was also placed on the throttle stick, as long as the bomb was delivered, he immediately had to drive away at full power, I heard that the bomb carried this time was quite powerful, and if the bomb was dropped at such a low height, if he was not careful, it was easy to injure himself by mistake.

"Countdown."

"Ten, nine..."Just as Upper Garnay counted down to five, suddenly, a tall mountain range appeared in front of Libergo's eyes, and in the darkness, this mountain range was just revealed in the back of the night, and he was already startled into a cold sweat.

His own bomber is ramming into the mountains at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, and the distance is probably only a few hundred meters!

"Attention, there is a mountain ahead, climb immediately!" Brother Li shouted loudly, hugged his operating wheel into his arms, and opened the throttle wide.

At this time, let alone the bombing, it is unknown whether they can avoid the risk of hitting the mountain.

And almost at the same time, on the ground, suddenly there were flashlights of searchlights!
