Chapter 687
"Beams are found in front!" As the Junker-88 bomber formation continued to fly forward, the navigator and bombardier shouted loudly. According to the prior information, there was no anti-aircraft artillery position near the target. Who would have thought that it would appear? Unexpected situation!
In the face of this situation, Major Helmut Pohle certainly wouldn't be nervous, he continued to give orders: "046, 047, change the flight target and blow up the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery position!"
"Received!" Two Junkers-88 bombers, separated from the group, flew in the direction of those beams in the dark night sky.
When flying over the coastline, they don't care about the anti-aircraft artillery units on the coast, just walk around and they will come, but now, they can't turn a blind eye, because they need to launch bombing here, if the other party has anti-aircraft artillery, they will come. Do them a lot of damage!
The Junkers-88 is an all-purpose bomber. This medium-sized aircraft retains the ability to dive bomb when it is designed!
Although in the dark night, the anti-aircraft artillery could not be seen temporarily, but they could kill the shining searchlight first!
In night air defense operations, searchlights are essential, but the searchlight unit is one of the units with the highest mortality rate.
In the distance, there was the rumble of the engine, so obvious in the dark night sky!
The searchlight soldier James, immediately tense his nerves, listened carefully to the direction of the sound with his ears, and then carefully operated the searchlight.
The beam of light swayed slowly in the night sky, and suddenly, a huge target appeared in the beam of the searchlight!
Captured a bomber! He saw it at once, it was a twin-engine medium-range bomber! The German Junkers-88!
Next, he needs to continue to track steadily, and the nearby anti-aircraft artillery units will fire in the next few seconds to shoot down the German bomber!
When he switched to the tracking state, he suddenly discovered the problem. Damn, that bomber was flying towards him!
With a sharp dive whistle, the bomber dived toward itself while being enveloped by the searchlight's lamppost!
Yes, the other party is diving towards him! When this problem was discovered, James was even more nervous. At this time, if he turned off the searchlight, he would definitely be safe, but then he would be remiss!
As a searchlight soldier, it is your duty to stick to your post firmly!
He continued to persevere, and then, several other beams of light also converged, illuminating the bomber.
All searchlight soldiers are interpreting with their own lives to defend the country, my responsibility!
A bomb, almost in a straight line, fell from the bomb bay of a diving Junker-88.
At the same time, the self-defense machine gun on the bomber was also firing frantically, and its target was another nearby searchlight!
"Boom!" In the huge explosion, James felt his body, flying high, and the moment he left his position, his hand was still holding the steering handle of the searchlight!
At the same time, blood splattered on another searchlight position. The German machine guns killed all the searchlight soldiers. Even so, the backup personnel at the back were not afraid at all. One fell and the other came up!
"Tom tom tom!" The sacrifice of the searchlight soldiers provided time for the anti-aircraft artillery units. Finally, the nearby anti-aircraft artillery positions violently shot their own shells towards the bomber covered by the searchlight!
In the black smoke, the tracer bullet cut through the sky, and the clearly visible trajectory flew towards the Junker-88 bomber!
"Boom, boom!" Almost at the same time, explosions sounded one after another in the antiaircraft artillery position!
The bomber No. 046 just now knew that they would be exposed. Even so, they were brave and fearless. By exposing themselves, they attracted the fire of the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery positions, while the other bomber No. 047 took the opportunity to throw their own bombs. On to the artillery position!
The entire anti-aircraft artillery position was in a sea of fire, and the dive-bombing No. 047 successfully threw the artillery shell near the anti-aircraft artillery. Then, the shells in the ammunition box exploded, and the entire anti-aircraft artillery position was in flames.
The opponent's anti-aircraft artillery position was abolished!
At the same time, the No. 046 bomber, the engine on the left, also caught fire. The British shot was very violent just now! The pilot shut down the engine, activated the fire extinguisher, and maneuvered the plane hard, preparing to return.
The sky suddenly became like daytime.
Flare!
After killing the opponent's anti-aircraft artillery position, the No. 030 bomber, in the air, threw a shining flare, and suddenly, all around were shining.
If you look directly at this strong light, you will even be blinded instantly, but the current bomber pilots and bombardiers are all looking down. With the help of the light, they discovered the entire factory almost instantly!
Next, it's time to attack!
More than 20 Junkers-88 bombers swooped down from the air like tigers preying on them, swooping down toward those factories, workshops, and warehouses.
Bunch of fires emerged from below, and soon, without flares, you could see clearly below!
"Boom!" A bomb just landed in the bomb shelter where the workers were hiding! The angle of this bomb is extremely tricky, and it just fell into the exhaust duct. When the explosion occurred, the workers in the air defense fortifications were screaming in an instant.
Bomb, bomb! The Junkers-88 bombers dropped bombs one after another into British factories. Their purpose this time was to paralyze the British industry, especially their aviation industry!
For Germany, the most threatening thing for the British is the Spitfire. This kind of fighter still has an advantage in local air defense operations, and Germany is to let the British in the last month, even a Spitfire. Fire can't be produced!
The two fire-breathing production plants were all blown down! The engine factory supporting the Spitfire was also visited by dozens of bombers! Even the Westland factory, which could be transformed into the production of Spitfire fighters, was blown up!
The Spitfire fighter factory was the most important target. Other aircraft factories were also bombed. Even the factory of the weak Hurricane fighter jets was bombarded by death!
This night, for the British, was unforgettable.
Germany has invested in too many bombers, just to achieve the effect of repeated bombing and complete destruction. At the same time, commanding such a large group of bombers is also quite tedious and complicated work.
Not every bomber found the target accurately.
For example, the Junkers-290 bomber, numbered 2046, suffered a failure on its left second engine shortly after takeoff.
