In this hour, the Polish air force showed their courage. Although it has been proved that the aircraft gap is too large, there are still 92 fighter planes taking off to intercept. Only three of these planes returned, and the other seven pilots survived the parachute jump. Of the 150 fighter planes dispatched by the German Air Force on this day, 67 got their results - and the other four Polish planes were shot down by Stuka and do-217 bombers
However, the German air force, which lacks experience in large-scale operations, also made various mistakes in the past few hours. Almost one fifth of the bombers flew in the wrong direction, leaving the target they should bomb safe and sound. Moreover, there was a record of nervous bomber pilots firing at their escort fighters, although no losses were caused, But it does expose a lot of problems.
Above the sky, a fleet of more than 30 do-217 bombers is trying to check their targets. They're under the clouds. They're black and they look spectacular.
A bomber reluctantly looked at the air map in his hands: "pilot! I can't find any terrain checkpoints to compare! This is not the area we're going to bomb! We didn't even fly to the edge of the area. "
"The pilot plane is flying wrong! I've already said that! Half an hour ago, we couldn't find the reference provided by the reconnaissance plane any more! " The radio controller of the plane complained: "even without anti-aircraft fire, this is not a military target at all! What shall we do now? "
"How do I know what to do? Those idiots from the 29th flight squadron occupied our flight route, so I said no, no, what happened? As soon as you get out of the way, there's an accident! " "Now who knows what to do?" the shooter at the pilot's feet said loudly
"This is BH2 formation! This is BH2 formation! We didn't find the target! Request return! Request return The call of the pilot of the navigation plane came from the earphone.
"This is the tower. I can't confirm your position! There is a return flight on the current route! If you have enough fuel, just wait a little while. " Inside the earphone, came the voice of the ground command station.
The captain of the navigation plane had no choice but to nod his head and agree: "tower, I'm going to fly westward for 5 minutes. The flying formation will attack any hostile target found. And then we'll go back! "
"Tower approves your request! Please record the route and keep the phone unblocked! Watch your direction The sound of the tower in the headset rings again, and then there is only the hiss of the current.
"This is the navigator! Follow me to adjust the route! I can see a track below! We should be able to find the station by flying along the tracks. " The captain of the pilot plane made a full call again.
"Unit one, understand! We see the tracks The plane behind answered.
"Plane two is flying with you! Shall we drop two bombs? "
"Good idea! Three, four! You descend altitude, drop four bombs each! Destroy this railway. " The commander of the bomber group gave the order to attack.
Two bombers opened the bomb bay and began to descend.
"Bomb dropped!" A report came from the earphone.
"This is bomber 17. I'm the last plane. I see the impact point! The whole track is flying! Well done Said the pilot of the last bomber.
"Keep your course! I see the town! The railway station is in the small town! Attention, all planes! Machine gunners in position! We may encounter air defense fire and polish fighters! The bombers are on alert one. " The commander gave a loud command on the phone.
After he issued the warning order, he informed the pilot plane: "pilot! Pilot! Use the battlefield channel to contact the fighters in the nearby airspace and inform them to carry out the escort mission! In addition, please do not attack the friendly forces
"The pilot understands!" Back and forth in the headphones.
"Boom! Suddenly, suddenly The formation of bombers was obviously found on the ground and began to fight back with anti-aircraft guns and other weapons. However, it seemed that the accuracy was not good enough, and the preparation of the whole bomber group was not even disturbed.
"Over the target area!" The commander's long plane issued an attack order: "open the bomb chamber! Start dropping bombs
"Plane one, start dropping bombs!"“ Plane two is dropping bombs! "“ Plane three, drop the bomb
One bomb after another was thrown out of the plane by the bomb dropper. The bomb dropper watched the bomb fall and cried out, "I see the poles! They have a lot of people! "
"Soon there won't be so many of them!" Said the other, laughing.
With his words, the bombs dropped to the ground finally collided with their targets, instantly burst out with thousands of times of energy, ignited the fire, splashed away the sand and stones, and formed one after another ash flowers.
"Turn! Adjust the altitude! Let's attack again! Repeat! Let's attack again! Drop all the bombs! Let's go home! "
On the ground, in a small town a few kilometers away, Ryan put down his telescope and looked at the returning Bombers: "our bombers seem to have just attacked the division headquarters of the Polish army. At this time, we'll drive over and take advantage of this command headquarters!"
Carter nodded: "let's go!" The tank under him emitted a stream of black smoke, trembled a few times and drove forward. Ryan's tank started and followed. Behind him, the 112 tank also started, and they were sitting in the car, which was divided into seven armored grenadiers to attack with them. In the small town not far behind them, two leopard tanks were hidden behind the grass, forming a defensive position with five soldiers and an armored personnel carrier. They had to wait for the friendly troops behind to catch up with them. At the other end of the town, eight German soldiers were guarding 134 Boland prisoners.
