In fact, as the battle line progressed, it was possible to fly directly from Belgium to Brest, but if it flew like this, it would have to fly all the way through French airspace, even from Paris.

You must know that although the French Air Force has now collapsed and mustered together dozens of fighters to intercept it, there is still no problem, so, considering various factors, this operation did not take off from the east and cross France, but departed from Spain and flew to Brest through the Bay of Biscay.

And from Basauri to Brest, the straight line is also almost a thousand kilometers, which is a long voyage, or at night!

In the case of the attack on Belgium, Germany chose to build a lighthouse on the ground, as long as it flew along the lighthouse, it would be able to enter the route accurately, and when the lighthouse ended, it would mean that it was time to release the glider.

But now they don't need it, because they are at sea after takeoff, and in the dark night, flying on the endless sea, it is difficult to locate accurately with a simple compass.

Fortunately, the technology in Germany is already developed enough, and they have developed the latest navigation technology, which is radio navigation!

(Regarding radio navigation technology, East China will be placed in the relevant works, so as to save some people from saying that East China is cheating on the number of words.) ）

As early as 1911, the directivity of radio waves was studied], and in World War I, when the German zeppelin bombed London, primitive ground-based radio direction finding navigation was used, and airborne radio direction finders were only more widely used in the 20s.

Historically, Germany's radio navigation technology is relatively advanced, and a lot of radio experts have emerged, specializing in radio navigation technology, and the blind landing system of the famous German Lorenz company is one of the leaders.

However, in the bombing of London, the German bombers often could not find the target, on the contrary, when the Allies counterattacked and bombed Germany, they were able to clearly find the target.

It was not the Allied navigation technology that was good, but because of the strong radio jamming ability of the Allied forces, the German radio navigation equipment was often in a state of interference.

Now, it is completely different, the Libyan base in Germany has been conducting painstaking research on radio navigation for more than ten years, overcoming difficulties one by one, and successfully developing the current Y-Gera:t system.

It can be said that this navigation system is already the most advanced navigation system in this era, (the specific principle is not introduced, look at the work).

How advanced is it? In the rear port, a navigation station was set up, and the beam was aimed directly at Brest, and the navigator could locate it at any position on the beam, using the Rho-Theta positioning method, which was quite accurate.

How tall?

At 200 miles from the navigation station, the error is about 90 meters!

Although it is not as good as the GPS of later generations, this navigation system is enough to guide your own formation and fly accurately over the destination!

Flying is boring, especially for the fighters of the special forces inside the glider, they are a good time to recharge, and for the navigators, it is their most stressful moment.

There can be no mistakes!

In the nose of the Junkers-290 bomber, navigator Ludwig, in the dim light, looked intently at the small signals on the cathode ray tube.

In the past, radio navigation was based on sound and orientation through headphones, but now it has been changed to display on a cathode ray tube, which greatly improves efficiency.

As he watched the signal, he underlined a map marked with a grid of curves, on which a long, thick line began in Basauri and ended in the eastern suburbs of Brest.

"The corrected course is 021, and the scheduled arrival time is one hour!"

The Junkers-290 bomber could have easily flown at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, but when the glider was towed behind by more than 20 tons, even if the four engines were running at full power, the speed had dropped to 224 kilometers per hour, and they needed to fly for about four hours before they could reach the target.

After throwing the glider, the sky should be just overcast, and at that time, the glider is detached, it depends on the ability of the glider pilot, and you are responsible for sending them to!

Heavy gliders, carrying radio equipment, are very convenient for the communication with the towed aircraft, as well as with each other.

On one of the gliders at the front, Otto Skorzny heard the sound of navigation, and in an hour he was about to reach the target.

He looked at his watch, and calculated that it was just right, and when he reached the target, it was just dawn, and at the same time, it was also the time when his own battle began!

He looked at his side, a famous warrior, who was closing his eyes to recuperate, and at the same time, there were also warriors who participated in the battle for the first time, and they looked nervous at this time.

As the war expanded, his special forces expanded rapidly, from fifty men to thousands now.

As a unit formed by the order of the Führer Ciric himself, he had a high authority to select excellent personnel from various units to enter his unit, loyalty came first, and the second was combat qualities.

In this way, most of them have been on the battlefield, and there are also some good seedlings who have never fought in a war, but their military skills are quite excellent, for example, the young Morris next to him has not been on the battlefield yet.

"Maurice, are you afraid?" Skorzny asked.

Maurice immediately shook his head: "Of course I'm not afraid, I'm going to shed my last drop of blood to wipe out the French!" ”

Skorzny patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then, from his backpack in the back, pulled out a kettle.

"Take a sip."

Morris picked it up, and as soon as he put it to his mouth, a spicy taste came, not water, but wine!

"Drink it, and you're a real man." Skorzny said.

Raising his head, Maurice gulped it twice, and when the wine flowed into his stomach, he instantly felt as if his whole chest was burning.

This is the favorite vodka of the Russians, and for some reason Skorzny also liked the spirits, which is enough to taste.

Soon, Morris closed his eyes.

Rest well, my child, and wait until an hour from now, when we will be at our most splendid!

In the dark, nineteen Junkers-290 bombers, towing nineteen super gliders, continued to fly towards the target.
