Enter the bombing route!
The pilot plane was the pilot, and the bombers behind them all lowered their flying altitude. In order to complete the bombing of this factory, a total of 30 Junkers-290s were enough to carry out a full carpet bombing!
If it is daytime, in order to avoid ground artillery fire, they can fly at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, which is a distance beyond the reach of antiaircraft artillery. Now, because it is at night and the other party has no defense at all, so, They boldly lowered the height to four kilometers.
After entering the bombing route, Ludwig became more nervous, which meant that the bombing was about to begin. You must know that bombing was always done during the day, but now they changed to night!
There is only one chance. After this bombing, the British will definitely be more vigilant. It is impossible for them to bomb the aircraft factory again easily.
Light control has been implemented in the London area, but the factory in Fort Bromwich is still brightly lit.
Let the workers work in the dark? That is impossible! Moreover, no one expected the bombing opportunities of the Germans to patronize. They even the street lights on the road inside the factory were shining. After all, the factory needs to constantly transport various parts during the production process.
"Where is the idiot, the street lights are installed upside down." A trailer carrying wings was passing through the road of the factory, and wanted to transport it to the factory area of the final assembly. This one-kilometer-long factory road, he did not know for a day How many times do you have to go.
There are not many street lights, but some of them are installed upside down! Other street lights have reflectors on top and light bulbs underneath, so that they can shine on the ground. However, this street light actually has reflectors underneath and bulbs on top. How stupid people can do it!
The driver cursed while thinking about waiting until the daytime to find an electrician to repair it. Recently, the electrician is also very tired. Moreover, working with electricity at night is dangerous. You have to wait until the day when the street lights are powered off before they can be used.
He didn't know that this anti-installed street lamp was deliberate. The German agents in this factory deliberately reversed this street lamp. If a row of street lamps were reversed, it would definitely attract attention, and now, just In the factory, only a few of them were reversed.
On the ground it looks no different, but in the air, it seems to be famous.
On the dark ground, there was a ray of light in that area of the factory, and now, the light of that street lamp could be seen very clearly on the bomber. Moreover, these street lights vaguely formed a cross mark!
Next, it's up to you!
After reconfirming that there was no problem with the route, Ludwig carefully adjusted the bombing sight in front of him after the British Spitfire factory was in front of him, and aimed the target at the bright light.
Now, he can rest for a while, completely hand over to the bombing sight!
During World War II, the American B-29 bomber had two secrets, the most important of which was the novel bombing sight invented by the Dutch engineer Karl Norton.
This set includes a stabilizer and sight.
The stabilizer is a working platform that uses a gyroscope to keep it level. Its function is to provide a stable working platform for the sight. Moreover, the stabilizer will work in conjunction with the bomber's autopilot, so that it can directly control the aircraft to maintain level flight. The most precise is the sight, which includes a mechanical simulation computer for calculating the impact point, a small telescope eyepiece, and a sophisticated system composed of a motor and a gyroscope. This system can move the telescope eyepiece to ensure the ground The aiming point is always in the field of view.
It is precisely because of this advanced bombing sight that American B-29 bombers can carry out unscrupulous bombing at an altitude of 10,000 meters when they are bombing island countries, fully embodying the effect of high-altitude bombing.
And now, German bombers are also equipped with similar bombing sights. They have studied in Libya for five or six years. They have only recently become fully practical, and only a few have been provided for each Junker-290 bomber unit. Long-term aircraft equipment.
On the side of the bombing sight, there is a ball of thermite. If the bomber is shot down or forced to land on the enemy’s territory, the first thing the crew will do is to destroy the sight. It is even bigger than the current United States. Be ahead of two or three years!
The interior is assembled by more than 2,000 precision parts, using a large number of precision gears and ball bearings. This instrument is quite advanced and at the same time, it is very simple to use.
Use the telescope eyepiece to find the target, that is, the light of the light bulb on the ground ahead of the line. Although it looks very weak, it can be located.
Next, place the target in the center of the field of view, and then turn on the power switch of the bombing sight.
After that, everything is automatic. The telescope eyepiece servo motor will ensure that the eyepiece is always aligned with the selected target. At the same time, the entire aircraft is controlled by the bombing sight, and finally the bomb is dropped automatically by the sight.
The bombers behind, just follow up and bomb together.
Handing everything over to the machine was disturbing. After completing the aiming steps, Ludwig was still staring at the sight.
Getting closer and closer, two of which adjusted the direction, and finally, before reaching the target, the cabin door opened with a bang.
One after another bombs fell down. The eight-ton bombs, all 500 kilograms of free-falling bombs, were 16 bombs in total, mounted on the front and rear revolving racks.
The bombs fell one after another, and the plane was visibly lighter. Ludwig shouted: "The bombing is complete, in the airspace ahead, ready to turn around and return!"
Upon hearing the news, the pilot pulled the control lever and the bomber began to climb. This was also an auxiliary measure to avoid collisions with the rear.
At the same time, the bombers behind them all started dropping bombs in turn.
At this time ~www.novelhall.com~ the first bombs dropped were flying forward and downward.
The accuracy of horizontal bombing is very poor. It is caused by various reasons. Simply put, even the shape of the bomb or even the paint on the surface will affect its aerodynamic performance. In this era without electronic computers, no one can accurately calculate it. The trajectory of a bomb falling at close to the speed of sound.
Therefore, the German bomber team's plan is carpet bombing, even if the accuracy error is three square kilometers, it will cover your area of three square kilometers!
Moreover, they lowered the altitude, and the bomb dropped at four kilometers, landed at a speed almost close to the speed of sound. The first bomb was only 50 meters away from the target, this street light!
When he heard the overhead sound, the driver poked his head out and looked towards the sky. Then, he saw a dark figure descending rapidly from the darkness. In an instant, he felt horror. The anti-installation street light shone on. On the dark shadow, into his retina.
That is a big bomb!
"Boom!" The bomb exploded almost ten meters away from him!
