The navigation of this era is quite backward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In later generations, there were advanced laser gyroscopes, which could have quite high operating accuracy, plus the assistance of the global positioning system and so on, making it easy to determine one's bearing.

However, it was different during World War II.

Navigation during World War II was quite primitive and backward, and it can be said that it mainly relied on magnetic compasses and charts.

When taking off, the navigator holds a chart in his hand, constantly marks on the chart, and determines his position according to his own heading, speed, time and other information.

In this way, the error is definitely not small. For example, when Britain was bombing Germany, several aerial bombing teams often flew and flew hundreds of kilometers away.

Well, the navigator is incomparably important, and an experienced navigator is a valuable asset in the Air Force and is respected considerably.

In addition to annotating charts, navigators can also use landmarks to determine and correct their own navigation errors.

Every bombing is a large formation, this is not a show, the main thing is to follow the navigator, so that there will be more opportunities to find the target to bomb.

Although radio navigation has been widely used in World War II, radio navigation is easily interfered with, and there is a distance limit, and long-distance bombing has to rely on the most basic methods.

This is still land, and at sea, it is even more troublesome, if there is no experienced navigator, there will definitely be a matter of flying out, and then flying back to find the aircraft carrier, after all, the sea is endless, there are no landmarks to learn from.

Therefore, the average naval carrier-based aircraft will not go out alone, in large formations, after the fight, they will wait in the airspace, and they will go together when they have enough, and it will be very sad to be alone.

And the current British Air Force, although not at sea, is about the same as at sea. It's all desert below, and in the desert, there are dunes everywhere, and it's not easy to find definite coordinates!

What does this mean?

When we set off from Egypt, the error began to accumulate continuously, and when we flew to Libya, the error was already more than ten kilometers.

In general, this is nothing, an error of more than ten kilometers is not called an error, after all, in the sky, it is easy to see a target more than ten kilometers away, and it is easy to correct.

But now, there was smoke everywhere on the ground, and they couldn't see it at all.

Philip thought that the oil base was shrouded in smoke in front of him, but in fact, the Amal oil field was still more than ten kilometers away!

And the distance of more than ten kilometers is the distance between life and death!

Libya, in addition to oil bases, there are also secret military bases! Although the scale of the military base is not very large due to various reasons, it is not difficult to raise a few hundred anti-aircraft artillery to come out and pull out hundreds of anti-aircraft artillery!

Now, for example, in the middle of two burning oil drums, several anti-aircraft artillerymen are on standby, and in their hands, they are operating the most famous 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns.

The shells had already been loaded into the breech, the muzzles were already aimed at the front, and the main gunner's feet were on the firing machine.

Now, there is no need for much operation at all, they just wait for the final blow.

If there is no smoke, you can see from the air that there are passages in the middle of the oil drums, and at the end of the passages, there are anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns!

This is of course a trap, if the smoke makes the British Air Force return, then forget it, if they dare to sneak in and attack, this is where they die!

When it is set, they don't even need to aim at all, the elevation angle and course of their anti-aircraft guns are correct, they just wait for the fire to be fired, as long as the opponent appears in the field of vision, they can hit directly!

Libya was already hot, and in the midst of the flames, I was even hotter, and in this case, the anti-aircraft artillery was sweating, but no one cried out that they were tired.

If you compare it with the soldiers in Germany, you can find that they are obviously darker, and the sun of North Africa is really poisonous.

The sweat on his forehead dripped down, dripped into his eyes, and flowed into his mouth, bitterly, the anti-aircraft artilleryman wiped his sweat with a towel around his neck, and then, between the flames in the distance, suddenly a flying thing appeared.

The British, the British, are coming!

It's definitely a narrow encounter!

Philip piloted his bomber, flying between the flames, he had already judged that it was definitely a trap, but he didn't have any plan to fight back, he could only pray for God to bless and blow up this place first!

The moment he turned around quickly between the flames in front of him, Philip spotted that he was directly ahead of his course, and an anti-aircraft cannon was aiming here! When he found out, the distance between the two sides was only three hundred meters!

What to do?

At this moment, Philip made a decision, flew over and greeted each other with his own bomb!

Ordinary people will subconsciously pull up, but that is definitely looking for death, pull up, the smoke on it will make the plane fall, and at the same time, when pulling up, the belly of the aircraft is facing the anti-aircraft gun, which increases the bombing area.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

Philip instantly pulled the throttle to the end, the engine in front of him, roaring, the propeller spun at an accelerated rotation, and he shouted loudly to the navigator-bombardier sitting in the middle: "Prepare to drop the bomb!" ”

At this time, relying on the tacit understanding of the crew after many years of cooperation, the bombardier quickly dialed the electric door in front of him and prepared to drop the bomb.

Just now, they were drilling in the flames, and the speed of the plane was very small, and now when they encounter anti-aircraft artillery, they must accelerate and fly over, and the faster they are, the less dangerous they are.

And almost at the same time, Philip saw the muzzle of the opponent's anti-aircraft gun, bursts of flames, he was extremely nervous in his heart, at this moment, he already had a premonition, he couldn't fly!

"Tom, tom!" The 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns fired fiercely, and with the high rate of fire, in a short time, more than a dozen 40-mm shells flew over.

"Boom!" The opponent hit very accurately, and the third 40-mm shell, which came into close contact with the "fighter" bomber, exploded directly at the position of the propeller.

The propeller was bent in an instant, and the engine behind it suffered several shrapnel, and black smoke came out of it.

If it is an air-cooled engine that has broken one or two cylinders, it can still hold on, but for a liquid-cooled engine, as long as it takes a small injury, the engine is finished.

Moreover, this is just one shot, and the next few shells came up accurately!
