82 target London

Just when Li Le, the fake Führer, was in his front office, he was struggling with his secretary Bowman about whether the code used by the Germans would be deciphered by the British again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At German airports in Rennes and other areas, ground crews are busily doing their work in the slightly hot weather, shirtless.

The flatbed truck, stacked with aerial bombs, was dragged by tractors captured from the French army, and little by little approached the belly of a JU-88 bomber.

The JU-88 bomber was a very good multi-role aircraft in service with the German army in World War II.

It can be converted into a reconnaissance aircraft, and it can also be used as a night fighter or even a missile attack aircraft, and it is absolutely known for its all-round and is loved by the Luftwaffe.

Compared to the HE-111, which was seriously flawed and not very easy to use in practice, the JU-88 bomber was more professional, so it performed better.

EVEN MORE IRONICALLY, THE DESIGNERS OF THE JU-88 BOMBER CAME FROM THE DISTANT UNITED STATES. These people traveled thousands of miles to Germany to design such a classic aircraft for the Third Reich.

And many years later, this aircraft became a weapon of war against the United States, and it performed very well in the war.

This aircraft is equipped with a crew of 5, which is a very good advantage for the Luftwaffe, which has a shortage of pilots.

In terms of performance, Junkers' JU-88 is decent, with a flight speed of 470 kilometers per hour, a bomb load of 3 tons, a flight altitude of more than 8,000 meters, and a range of more than 2,700 kilometers......

Decent data usually means reliability and balance, qualities that earned the Luftwaffe's JU-88 bomber the respect of its opponents.

The ground crews were busy hanging the heavy bombs on the JU-88 bombers, and the crew members of the bombers were still in the barracks to identify the targets they were going to attack.

Unlike the previous week's attacks, the Germans flew more planes than they had bombed in the past.

Looking out the window at the busy German ground soldiers, the officer in the room was repeatedly emphasizing the discipline of this flight on the blackboard: "It is very important to maintain formation!" ”

"The enemy's anti-aircraft artillery fire will be ten times more fierce than the worst intelligence you have encountered!" He paused before continuing.

Then he said as he pointed to the planes on the blackboard with his whip, as well as the three views of the planes: "Remember these planes!" They will protect you overhead! ”

"It is not permissible to fire at enemy fighters with weapons of self-defense! You have to make sure that everyone is familiar with the ME-109E fighter, and the other FW-190 should be paid special attention! Another officer also repeated this in another room.

While banging on the table for his subordinates in the conference room next door, he took the trouble to emphasize: "This time, there will be a lot of aircraft escort, but they can not provide much cover time, we must drop all the bombs as soon as possible and then return!" Do you understand? ”

"Got it!" All the air force pilots solemnly replied that they did not know where to bomb yet, but they already felt the importance of this bombing.

Outside the window, on the lawn, the ground crew hung a 240-kilogram bomb in the magazine of the JU-88 bomber, and then continued to repeat the work.

Of course, it is not possible for a JU-88 bomber to carry only one aerial bomb, so this kind of work is quite repetitive and monotonous.

"One, two, three!" Because there is a lack of sufficient special vehicles for bomb mounting, ground crews, especially apprentices who follow regular ground crews, have to undertake a certain degree of physical work.

A lot of people worked together to hang a heavy bomb on its pylon, then a second and then a third.

There are also two conspicuous bullet holes in the wings of the aircraft, in the hood that has been lifted. The mechanics were tirelessly checking the state of the engine, which at the time was expensive and complicated.

Even now, when you open the hood of a car, it's still complex and delicate. And you know, these JU-88 bombers use engines that are much more high-tech than those equipped with family cars.

Don't underestimate World War II more than 70 years ago, in this war, both sides were equipped with many aero engines with more than 1,500 horsepower, and these engines were even heavier than the current family car.

This is the power of the industrial powers, this is the power of those countries that dreamed of conquering the world 70 years ago, or who insisted on defeating the Axis!

"The Venus flytrap program begins! All pilots board! All pilots board! Get ready for take-off! Get ready for take-off! "The loudspeaker over the airfield gave the order on time, and all the pilots began to leave their barracks.

The pilots, armed with their equipment, wearing orange life jackets that guaranteed them to float on the surface of the sea, and parachutes, walked to their own planes.

Each plane is painted with a different lucky pattern, some of which are suits on playing cards, some of which are intricate beauties or a devil with a fork.

However, these planes are painted with a uniform traditional double-sided camouflage, which covers most of the aircraft's body.

In order to make the fighters better concealed in the sky, the belly of the German aircraft was painted in light blue, and in order to avoid the detection of enemy troops above, the back of the aircraft was painted in a dark color close to the ground.

Soon, on the huge wing of the first JU88, the engines began to turn. The propeller was driven by the engine, and soon became visually transparent due to the rapid rotation of the propeller.

One after another, the JU-88 bombers began to glide towards the runway, and then their heavy bodies covered with bombs began to accelerate, eventually taking off at the end of the runway.

The second plane quickly took off, while the third took off quickly with the second as well. On the French coastline, this view has been going on for a week.

These planes that took off began to form in the skies over France and soon turned into a large group of black pressurs. Like a locust, it roared its engine and rushed towards its target.

"Now, it's time to open the bombing target! Gentlemen! In the slightly bumpy cabin of the plane, the officer in charge of the bombing command spoke to all the planes by radio on his throat intercom.

The captain of the team tore open the envelope in his hand and saw clearly the bombing target written on it - London!

"......" No wonder the order says that it may be attacked by several times more anti-aircraft fire, it is the most heavily defended place in Britain, it is the most important capital of the British!

"Sir! The target I see is London! Isn't there something wrong! One of the pilots confirmed on the radio.

"That's right! What I see is London too! Keep on your course! Soon we will have to join up with the fighter forces that escorted us! The officer leading the team pressed his intercom and replied mechanically.

The atmosphere suddenly became strange, after all, attacking the enemy's capital is a very serious act. If they carry out this task, then the situation between Britain and Germany may really evolve into a situation of non-stop.

Most of the pilots didn't think it was so far-reaching, and the reason for their silence was actually very simple, because they saw the escort fighters above them!

A full 100 JU-88 bombers took off and were ordered to bomb factory facilities in London. Originally, this was a terrible number, and a full 100 planes could drop almost 250 tons of aerial bombs in one bombing.

Unlike previous bombings, this time the escort fighters accompanying the bombers outnumbered the JU-88 planes responsible for the bombing.

"Oh my God, that's almost 200 fighters, right?" Looking at the dense array of fighters in the sky, a JU-88 pilot tilted his head and said to his companion.

In fact, on that day the Germans took off a full 100 new FW-190 fighters, and 75 ME-109E fighters were involved in the escort mission.

These fighters have fuel tanks attached to ensure that they are kept in the air as much time as possible. You must know that the range of German aircraft has always been a hard injury, and it is a difficult thing to let fighters fly with bombers.

Even with the auxiliary fuel tank, the ME-109E fighter can only fight 20 minutes of air combat after flying over London.

So this time, the Germans used the FW-190 fighter with a longer flight range as the main force of the escort!

In fact, this was a completely helpless move, and the range of the FW-190 fighter was only a little longer than that of the ME-109E fighter, and the situation did not improve substantially.

However, with so many escort fighters in their cover, the Luftwaffe bombers were still demoralized.

Although they have hardly encountered the British air force counterattack in the course of a week, it is indeed safer to see that their fleet is so strong.

"Are we really going to bomb?" A commander sitting in the co-pilot muttered as he looked at the sky higher above his head and at the fighter escort formations in the distance.

The pilot of the plane also looked at it, shook his head and said: "It's more like using us as bait to trick the British into coming......"

"Watch your step! We've come to the UK! Seeing the pilot plane on the opposite coastline, the navigator loudly reminded the group behind him.
