The bombers that invaded French airspace were devastated, and at the same time, the bomber force that flew to Berlin had just flown over Dutch airspace.

Squadron Leader Craig Brown, piloting his own bomber, sailing directly ahead, has been flying for more than an hour.

"Squadron leader, we have received news from London that another unit of ours has been intercepted by the Germans." There was a sound coming from inside the headphones.

Intercepted by the Germans! Originally, they were used as bait, after all, according to their assumptions, the Germans' night fighter units were not much better, and if the Germans intercepted them in Paris, then the pressure on their side would be greatly reduced.

"Now, don't worry about anything else, concentrate and complete our combat mission." Craig said.

At this time, their bombers were flying at an altitude of 7,500 meters, and at this altitude, they could have a greater range.

In this bombing mission, they faced many problems, they had to pay attention to fuel consumption at all times, they had to fly according to the correct route, and they could not complete the bombing operation if they were slightly poor.

Only the dropping of bombs over Berlin will give London the greatest confidence and will be able to inspire the people of England, whose task is daunting!

At this time, the navigator in front of the nose was the most nervous, and when they had just flown over the Netherlands, they had managed to find a large city below and correct their course, and now, they were only halfway through the long journey.

"Found it, found it!" The navigator suddenly shouted, and in his headphones, the voice of the Berlin radio was heard, and at this time, the speech of Goebbels, the German Minister of Propaganda, was playing, and it was loudly shouting about the extermination strike against Britain and the determination to land in Britain.

When he heard the sound of this radio, the navigator finally relaxed.

At a time when the British's radio navigation technology could not reach the practical stage, this way of navigation is an opportunistic, but very normal way.

It's the use of each other's radio broadcasts! As long as the other party's radio broadcast signal is received, and the signal strength is getting stronger and stronger, then there is no problem, it must be flying towards the target!

In later generations, when the islanders attacked Pearl Harbor, they also took advantage of this trick and determined the location of the target by receiving the radio signal from Hawaii.

If you find the signal, there will be no problem and fly towards the goal!

The navigator relaxed a moment and marked on the chart, and this straight line will go all the way to Berlin!

The flight continued, ten Blenheim bombers, forming a formation at high altitude, at this time, there was already a sparse starlight, and in the starlight, the planes continued to fly forward, flying.

Time passed little by little, and after an hour had passed, the navigator finally sensed that something was wrong.

They have been flying for more than two hours in a row, and this long-distance flight is a huge test for everyone's mental and physical strength! Although they had rested during the day, and before setting off, they had to meet Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who encouraged them.

But now, they are tired.

"According to the route, the target should be directly below us." The navigator said: "But now, there is nothing below us!" ”

Craig frowned, and at this time, he was still wearing an oxygen mask, which made him look even more bloated, and his words changed timbre: "In this case, there is only one situation, and Berlin may have implemented a light control." ”

That night-lit Berlin is now under light control, and it must have been after the bombers that attacked Paris on their own side made the Germans more vigilant!

"No, we can still receive the signal of Berlin radio in our radio, Berlin is still ahead of us!" Just then, a debate came from another bomber: "We should keep flying!" ”

"How is that possible, according to the route, we must have reached the skies over Berlin!" The navigator here immediately retorted.

Inside the radio, the sound of argument was heard.

"Stupid, according to the route, we must have encountered a strong wind, we are very likely, there are still more than ten kilometers away from the target, or even dozens of kilometers!"

In this day and age, navigation is difficult, and one of the problems is that airplanes don't know their own speed.

In flight, the aircraft must know its own speed, which is measured by the air flow, that is, the aircraft measures the relative speed of the air.

If the air is also moving, this speed will change.

What the aircraft needs is the ground speed, that is, the speed relative to the ground, if it is flying against the wind, the airspeed is less than the ground speed, especially after a long flight, the accumulated error is greater!

This error has been until later generations, in about 43 years, Germany used a radar device, to accurately measure the ground speed, yes, this technology, but also Germany first invented.

And now the British have to face the fact that they have lost their way!

What to do?

If the instruments were to be believed, then Berlin should be down there, and they would need to lower their altitude, hover and fly nearby, try to spot Berlin in an effort, and then launch a bombing.

If Berlin's radio broadcasts are to be believed, then they should continue to fly, Berlin is still ahead of their course!

What to do? At this time, Craig's judgment was completely tested, and Craig gave the order almost after a little thought.

The group is divided into two groups, one squad, which continues to fly, and two squads, which circle and descend!

This is perfectly in line with the thinking of the British, since it is impossible to be sure, then simply act separately!

You know, these ten bombers alone can't blow Berlin upside down. Their bombing, most importantly, was symbolic, they were to boost the morale of Britain and tell the British people that they were capable of launching a counterattack against Germany!

And now, if they don't get the job done, it's a big blow to morale, and that's why Churchill personally came to cheer them up.

They can't afford to fail!

Therefore, they had to act separately, even if only one bomber found Berlin, it was their victory, even if only one bomb was dropped, they were successful!

This order to Craig, the bomber squadron immediately carried it out.

Craig did not continue to fly forward, he believed in his navigator, it seems, he already had a premonition that Berlin was below!

Well, next, he took four bombers and was going to circle here!

How high to reduce? Now, the moon star is rare, as long as it is lowered to a height of about five hundred meters, he will definitely be able to see clearly.

Even if it was shot down by an anti-aircraft gun, he would have thrown a bomb over Berlin!

Five bombers, circling nearby, while circling, lowered their altitude downward.
