Because they took off three hundred nautical miles ahead of schedule, their fuel would definitely be insufficient. This kind of accident is not what anyone wants to see, but since it has already appeared, it is helpless.
Roosevelt wanted to promote Doolittle to brigadier general, but now Doolittle has no news at all.
No one knows where they are, they have completely lost contact.
"Yes." Roosevelt exclaimed: "It is precisely because of this that the image of Brigadier General Doolittle will be even taller. Now, let's announce this to the public. Our soldiers are not afraid of death. When the war comes. At this time, they are willing to dedicate their blood and lives for the sake of their motherland. We need soldiers like this!"
Regardless of whether Doolittle has been killed or not, Doolittle and others have already used practical actions to boost the morale of the people across the country, and they will also play a role model and take the lead. The war has just begun, and the United States must pay a lot to win this war. A big price, one Dolittle falls, and thousands of Dolittles stand up!
Roosevelt was confident of this.
For the Americans, this is a memorable day. The Doolittle bombing did not bring much terrible cost to the island nation, but it greatly boosted the morale of the people and won the war. The matter of Pearl Harbor , Will not reappear for the second time!
Unfortunately, the facts will soon be a blow to the top American leaders.
A long voyage is a great test of physical strength, even if it is resting on an airplane, it will definitely not be as comfortable as on the ground.
For example, now, the Junker-390 bomber in high altitude, after almost twelve hours of long flight, finally, in the dark night sky, I saw the bright light in the distance.
After entering the war, it is necessary to carry out light control, even a light bulb will be particularly dazzling in the dark.
Not to mention the brightly lit big city.
"The course is right, Morhead City ahead, pay attention, we are about to enter the sky above the United States." After repeated comparisons, Antonio said in the intercom to the other people on the plane.
"This is the first time we have come in without a visa." Bescher said jokingly: "Now, with our spirits, our journey has just begun."
Tennessee is not on the coastline, but inland. It needs to cross North Carolina to fly to it. This long flight is only now officially in state.
On the land of the United States, it takes two hours to continue flying to reach the target. In this process, the accuracy of navigation is even more important!
"Don't worry, Captain, we won't get lost." Antonio said.
The long sea flight is prone to get lost, because the sky and the sea are the same color, there are not many reference objects, but now it is different, there are too many big cities along the way, as long as the big cities appear in sequence on the route, you can reach the target sky!
Only before approaching the target, more precise navigation is needed.
In front, there is the second city, Fayetteville, um, exactly the same as my own judgment, the course is completely correct!
Oak Ridge.
This was originally a peaceful countryside, but unfortunately, the nearby construction sites made the town a little noisy.
"It makes people unable to fall asleep!" Old James sat up from his bed. During the day and night, there was constant noise coming from him, making him often insomnia, while the wife next to him seemed unaffected and slept. Gotta go.
Old James couldn't fall asleep, he sat up, lit a cigarette, and walked out slowly.
When he stood on the balcony of his home, he saw his old neighbor Tony, who was also smoking on the balcony at this time!
The two looked at each other and both laughed.
"Why, you can't sleep either?" James asked.
"Yeah, it's so boring." Tony said, "Would you like to have a drink?"
Since the death of his son, Old James has almost numbed himself with alcohol. Now, hearing Tony's call, he almost didn't use his brain, and immediately went out of his house and walked into Tony's yard.
"I heard that our bomber bombed Tokyo today." Old James said: "It's a pity, my child, I still haven't seen it."
Tokyo was bombed, and it was a revenge for Pearl Harbor. Old James was sighed when he thought of his unfortunately killed child.
"Yes, this war has just begun, and I don't know how many people will die." Tony also said with a sigh.
Old James turned his head back and suddenly realized that there seemed to be something more on Tony's roof, like a big pot lid.
"Tony, what's that?" Old James asked.
"My house is leaking. I'm planning to repair it. I haven't done it yet. It's a bucket." Tony said, "Come on, drink, and toast to our victory!"
drink! Old James drank a glass of wine into his stomach, and after that, he felt that the sky was spinning in front of him. This wine was so powerful, he was drunk so soon?
Old James didn't know anything anymore fell on the chair and snored.
"Quickly, drag him in," Tony said.
In his house, two men suddenly appeared. The two men dragged Old James into the room.
In the room, there is an extra device. At this time, in front of the device, there is a delicate woman who is adjusting all parts of the device without being interrupted by what just happened.
She checked her watch and let out a long sigh. Fortunately, she didn't delay.
Now, let's start! She put her hand on the switch of the device, and when she flipped the switch, there was a humming sound stimulated by electric current, and electromagnetic waves radiated forward through the antenna on the roof.
This is a signal modulated by frequency hopping. In a normal receiver, this is absolutely meaningless clutter, but when received by a receiver that is synchronized with it, it is a normal navigation signal.
"They keep the radio silent. We can only turn on the equipment according to the scheduled time." The woman spoke. She looked charming, but in fact, it was the person in charge here. In the past, there was always a one-line contact. Now Several people gathered together, even at the risk of exposure, just for this final action.
"Check our pointing device." The woman continued, "No accident."
The appearance of Old James was an accident. Tony was on the balcony, who was in charge of guarding. As a result, he saw Old James. Based on the relationship between the two, if he did not call Old James over, it would have caused Old James’ suspicion. The accident was solved by taking down old James with drugs.
Such accidents are destined to be more than one. ()
