Chapter 1680: The Bomber Takes Off (Extra 17)
Each plane, in the position of the nose, is brushed with a line of letters, revenge!
One of their companion groups, the 462 Bomber Group, has been canceled, and the entire group was killed in the first bombing mission, which is absolutely unbearable for them, and they want to take revenge on the 462 Group!
In this night mission, they must turn the entire Midway Island into a place of death!
Group Leader Michael, a young man in his early thirties, had just been a squad leader just a few months ago, and with the rapid expansion of the bomber force, his position was rapidly rising.
Now, with the flight briefing, he looked at his pilots and spoke briefly: "This time, we want to avenge our 462nd Group, we want to bomb Midway Island accurately, and we want to completely turn it into ruins, just like Petersburg once was." ”
It's no secret that they already have terrible bombs, but now it's all excited to hear that their bombers are carrying them.
"Be careful, turn off all flight lights before flying over the target, don't let any mistakes cost us lives, and this time we don't make mistakes in navigation, and follow our plan. Now, we're out! ”
In the past, Germany tried all kinds of ways to carry out night navigation in the successful night bombing.
And now, the plan of the American bomber force is very simple, because the Hawaiian Islands are still in their hands!
They fly to Hawaii first, where they will be given precise ground lights to point them in the right direction, and as long as they follow the correct route, they will be the destination.
As a state-of-the-art bomber, the B-29 has quite advanced navigation equipment, and with the help of the ground, they can ensure that there will be no accidents.
One of the pilots, got on their own bombers, and to the roar of rumbling motives, the B-29 group took off.
This time, they don't even need escort fighters, after all, at night, it's not much use at all.
In the black night sky, it is very difficult to get a target, it is difficult to get a large bomber, and it is even more difficult to get a fighter.
Although the 462nd Bomber Squadron was destroyed, they were not afraid.
One bomber after another, sliding off the runway, lifted into the air, and burrowed into the dark night sky.
At this time, it was also pitch black on the Canadian island of Newfoundland, just before dawn, and as they flew east, the sky would slowly brighten.
This sortie was carried out by the 2O Bomber Wing, the second B-29 Bomber Wing, and although the training time was not long, most of the pilots were drawn from the B-25 and B-17 units and had a lot of experience.
With the whining sound of the base, a famous pilot rushed to his bomber.
Captain Howard Jarrell, also briskly running to his bomber, he was in his thirties, just the golden age of a man, he was carrying his full flight gear, and he was running fast.
Although it is a civilian airliner, it is also dangerous, the long-range P-51 Mustang fighter jet, can not carry out the transcontinental escort mission for them, in order to complete the long-range flight, they have reduced weight, even the bomb only carried four tons, the rest of the fuel is used to fill more.
Once intercepted by the Germans, it may be the same as the encounter at Midway, you know, the fighter jets on the German mainland are even more terrifying, and there are still rumors that there is a fighter without a propeller, which is even more powerful.
They have the consciousness of death, and the task of bombing the shipyards along the coast is arduous and must be accomplished, and when they join the US Sixth Army, they plan to sacrifice their lives for the country.
Even so, it is best to save a life, and Howard's equipment includes an umbrella bag and life-saving equipment at sea, and if he has the opportunity to parachute, he may still survive.
Now, the sky is still dark, and when they take off, they fly east for more than an hour, and it is daylight, and when they continue to fly east, to the Spanish coastline, it should still be in the afternoon local time.
Let's hope it goes well.
Howard drew a cross on his chest, got into his cabin, and began to prepare for takeoff.
At the same time, in Greenland, in the frozen zone of high latitudes, the fleet of B-25s, which had just arrived here, was being refueled.
"Phew." Pilot Gruss, getting off the plane, spat at the tarmac fiercely: "This is a plan that someone came up with with his ass and tossed us all miserably." ”
The B-29 took off directly from the base, and their B-25 bomber unit, because the range was not enough, could only be transferred in advance. Gruss's words are not derogatory, he is just complaining.
"yes, we're enough to toss." Charlie, the captain with red eyes, also sighed and said: "I haven't closed my eyes for almost twenty hours, now, hurry up and squint for a while, and wait until another two or three hours, and it is estimated that the order to take off will come down." ”
They have not rested since they came from the base, and now it is a precious time to rest, and everyone knows that time is tight.
They are waiting for the echelon of the local take-off, the two sides will coordinate and attack together, according to the plan, when the plane flying from the mainland is halfway through, they should be dispatched, after all, flying at low altitude is quite exhausting.
"yes." Gruss remembered the goal before takeoff, and flew all the way at a low altitude, which was definitely a physical task, and now, if you can rest, just rest!
A few people walked to the side of the low duty room, and soon snoring.
It's close to the North Pole, and it's in polar daylight almost all the time.
Reykjavik, Iceland.
Since the last brief war, Iceland has returned to its former peace, and it seems to be the same as before, and there are more military bases on the outskirts of Reykjavík.
The runway is directly frozen soil, and in this high-latitude area, it is quite complicated to carry out infrastructure projects, and at the same time, it is not necessary, for excellent fighters, they can even take off directly from the field.
Now, inside the base, one after another Junkers-88 is preparing for takeoff.
The Junker-88 doesn't seem to be famous, it doesn't have the whistle whistle and intimidation like the Stuka who fell the seagull's wing, and it doesn't have the Junker-29O, which, once dispatched, is terrible destruction.
However, the Junkers-88 is the real excellent tactical bomber, the existence of the whole armament.
