All the ground crews on the deck cheered, as long as the BF109 could take off with a 500-liter disposable drop tank, then Li Mo had a lot more tactical options. Other aircraft carriers have also carried out relevant tests, although the aircraft carrier of the merchant ship modification cannot withstand the beating, but the speed is faster than Zeppelin, their speed is at least about 34 knots, as long as the Zeppelin aircraft carrier can take off, other modified aircraft carriers are not a problem at all.

At this time, the range of the BF109 with a disposable fuel tank mounted on 500 liters can be increased to 1,400 kilometers, about 700 nautical miles, and a combat radius of 350 nautical miles.

At five o'clock in the morning on August 30, 39, the aircraft carrier formation led by Li Mo began to take off, leaving two BF109s for fleet air defense in each aircraft carrier, and the rest of the aircraft all took off. All four hundred and fifty-two planes took off at one time, and all BF109s took advantage of their speed advantage to directly attack the two military airfields at Scapa Bend, and then went to fight with the British carrier-based aircraft, while JU87 because the speed was only more than 400 kilometers per hour, more than 200 kilometers per hour slower than BF109, so they would reach the battlefield half an hour later than BF109. Don't worry about the range of the JU87, although it is not fast, it has a range of 1,500 kilometers.

All the aircraft carriers lined up, sailing at high speed against the wind, the destroyers were on guard around the aircraft carrier, Yue'er didn't know when it had reached the position where it was about to set, a few stars in the sky shone the waves of nearly half a meter sparkling, and all the aircraft carriers were brightly lit. Countless planes roared into the sky. BF109 flew together, and the JU87 aircraft took off next. BF109 did not wait for the successor JU87, but after the formation in the air, it went straight to Scarpa.

Li Mozhan was on the command tower, watching the group of planes gradually disappear into the night sky, his heart calmed down completely, whether he can succeed or not depends on this hammer deal, even if Li Mo is extremely nervous, he can't change anything, it is better to wait for the result easily:

"Order the formation to continue sailing at high speed towards Scapa Bend, so that our brothers who have returned will consume less fuel and can spend a little more time on the enemy's head."

The deputy commander-in-chief beside Li Mo didn't talk back to Li Mo at this time. The order was quickly delivered. But Stephen still reminded:

"Commander-in-chief, we'd better only sail two hundred nautical miles away from Scapa Bend, as our entire formation will not be safe in the near future, after all, there are thousands of planes on the British mainland. It would only be half a day before they came to reinforce Scapa Bend. ”

"Hmm. Just do what you want! You're staring here. I don't have to worry about you, I'll go back to the combat command room. ”

……

Witt was the commander of the BF109, and this time he led more than 220 BF109s to the two military airfields at Scapa Bend. These two military airfields are located on the island of Hoy and the island of Meenland, which are the two main islands surrounding Scapa Bend, and are also relatively large, and are the two main military airfields where Britain controls the North Sea and Atlantic routes.

The fully loaded BF109 can't fly too high, the altitude of 3,000 meters is just right, the fleet of more than 200 planes is quite huge, and all the planes are organized into a square formation by each aircraft carrier for the convenience of command, and there will be no confusion in command. Forty minutes later, according to the plan, the entire group was divided into two, the first group rushed to the Maynland airfield, the second group rushed to the horn airfield, the first group was led by Witt himself, and the second group was led by the deputy commander Orr.

At this time, wireless communication is not available, and Wittur and Orr can only make a judgment based on the aerial map. Now there are moons and stars, and if you are cooperating with the chart, you won't get lost.

At this time, there was already a hint of fish belly white in the sky, and the sun below the horizon was already illuminating the clouds in the sky. Five minutes later, Witt saw the outline of a large island in the distance. At this time, it was not possible to communicate by radio, and the "Tiger Tiger" plan clearly stipulated that the radio could only be turned on when one of the groups attacked.

Witt, who flew in the front, controlled his plane to swing its wings left and right continuously, and at the same time began to reduce the altitude, the optimal altitude for this horizontal bombing is about 1,000, and if it is an attack on a target that does not move on the ground, the altitude should not exceed 2,000 meters, otherwise the sea breeze will blow the bomb away from the target.

Two thousand meters, Witt is still reducing the altitude, of course, the planes following Witt are all looking at the horse, 1,500 meters, the plane is still reducing the altitude, the front of Meenland Island has become clearer and clearer, Witt estimates that he is now five kilometers away from Meinland Island, it is completely possible to reduce the altitude, low-altitude raid into it, while engaging in the enemy's runway, while bombing the enemy's anti-aircraft fire points.

When the altitude was reduced to 800 meters, Wittur stopped lowering the altitude, and at this time Wittur was only three kilometers away from Meinland Airport, and Wittur suddenly turned on the radio and began to call:

"The second group, how far is there to reach the target."

"Five kilometers to go, five kilometers to go."

With an error of two kilometers, even if the British troops here immediately conveyed the news of the attack to the Horn airfield, there would be no way to take off in two or three minutes.

"Immediately abandon the auxiliary fuel tanks, immediately implement the Tiger Tiger Plan, immediately implement the Tiger Tiger Plan."

As soon as Witt finished calling, he immediately gave an order to his own group:

"Detachment Z2 immediately attacked the enemy's airstrip, Detachments Z4 and Z5 attacked the enemy's tarmac, Detachments Z6 and Z7 followed me to bomb the enemy's ammunition depots and fuel depots, and Detachment Z3 went to clear the enemy's anti-aircraft fire points."

The first thing to do in an air attack on an enemy airfield is to blow up several large craters on the enemy's runway, so that all the planes have no way to take off, so that those planes on the tarmac can be slowly destroyed.

The Englishman's communications officer suddenly heard a call in German, and the officer on duty did not know German, so the Englishman's officer on duty couldn't help but curse:

"Damn, why did the Germans come here, and they are still using such a high-power radio, but there don't seem to be Germans in Scapa Bend! …… Bang Bang Bang Bang"

The officer on duty thought that there was a problem with the equipment, so he stretched out his hand and slapped the radio station in front of him a few times. There is a bit of a problem with the electrical appliances, and sometimes it will be fine after a few slaps, and the officer on duty seems to think the same way.

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

As a result, the duty officer heard a "buzzing" roar, and the British duty officer thought that there was something wrong with his radio station, and was about to continue to reach out and slap a few times, but the duty officer found that something was wrong, this sound was not from the radio station, and he was on duty at the airport every day, and he was familiar with this sound, which could only be produced by the low-altitude flight of a large group of planes.

"I didn't say that the organic group came to Mainland Airport today!"

The officer on duty felt that he should go out to have a look, but before he could get out of the room, "boom...... The explosion sounded continuously, and the ground of the house also shook violently, and the prefabricated slabs were even pulled out by the vibration A few big cracks.
