At five o'clock in the morning on February 30, 41, the aircraft carrier formation led by Dönitz began to take off, leaving two BF109s for fleet air defense on each carrier, and the rest of the aircraft all took off. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

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 the JU87 was only more than 400 kilometers per hour slower than the BF109, which was more than 200 kilometers per hour slower than the BF109, so they would reach the battlefield half an hour later than the 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, all the aircraft carriers were brightly lit, and countless planes roared into the sky.

After the BF109 took off, the JU87 aircraft took off, and the BF109 did not wait for the successor JU87, but after the air formation was completed, it went directly to Scarpa Bend.

Dönitz fought on the command tower, watching the group of planes gradually disappear into the night sky, his heart was completely calm, whether he could succeed or not depends on this hammer deal, even if Dönitz was extremely nervous, he couldn't change anything, it was 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 next to Dönitz did not talk back to Dönitz at this time, and quickly conveyed the order, but Stephen still reminded:

"Commander-in-chief, it's best for us to only sail to a distance of two hundred nautical miles from Scarpa's Bend, our entire formation will not be safe in the near future, after all, there are thousands of planes on the British mainland, and it will only take half a day for them to come to reinforce Scarpa Bend."

"Well, just do as you want! You are staring here, I don't worry about you doing things, I'll go back to the combat command room. ”

……

Scott was the commander of the BF109 this time, and this time he took more than 220 BF109s to the two military airfields in Scapa Bend, which were located on the island of Hoy and Maynland, which were the two main islands surrounding Scapa Bend, and the area was also relatively large, and they were the two main military airfields controlled by Britain in the North Sea and the Atlantic route.

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 Maynland Airport, the second group rushed to Horn Airport, the first group was led by Scott himself, and the second group was led by Deputy Commander Orr.

At this time, wireless communication is not available, and Scott 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, Scott saw the outline of a large island in the distance. At this time, it was not possible to communicate by radio, and the "Huhuhu" plan clearly stipulated that the radio could only be turned on when one of the groups attacked.

Scott, who was flying in the front, controlled his plane and shook 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 the ground and does not move the target, the altitude should not exceed 2,000 meters, otherwise the sea breeze will blow the bomb away from the target.

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

When the altitude was reduced to 800 meters, Scott stopped continuing to lower the altitude, and at this time Scott was only three kilometers away from the Maynland airport, and Scott 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 Woohoo plan, immediately execute the Woohoo plan."

As soon as Scott 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.

"Air strike...... Air raids......"

But how could the shouts of this duty officer be compared with the huge explosion, and before he could run out of the telecommunications room, a 100-kilogram aerial bomb roared and fell down, and with a loud "boom", the three-story telecommunications building was directly razed to the ground, in addition to the flying dust and the broken bricks flying all over the sky, the 100-kilogram anti-aircraft bomb was not very powerful, and such a brick-concrete structure building could not bear it at all, and directly turned into slag.
