Chapter 1003： Light control

In this era, the Soviet’s scientific and technological strength is also strong. For example, in 36 years, the Soviet designed a large four-engine aircraft. When the military parade on Red Square in Moscow, this Pe-8 bomber came from the sky. When it flew by, it caused a commotion among Western experts.

The Red Empire actually has such a powerful bomber!

When this bomber completed the military parade, the mechanics hidden in the ammunition warehouse had their arms broken. From the beginning of the design, this aircraft lacked a suitable engine.

The AM-34 series engine did not have a suitable supercharger, so the engineer installed an M-100ATsN-2 engine in the bomb bay of the prototype. The function is to use a supercharger to provide pressurized air to the main engine of the aircraft. .

At the same time, the oil radiator of this engine needs to be operated manually, so in the sky, humans acted as machines and completed this impossible task abruptly.

Of course, the Soviets are also developing. At the beginning of this year, Soviet experts installed the ShvetsovASh-82 engine and an improved version of the AM-35 engine on this aircraft. These two engines provide the stable performance of the Pe-8. , But the voyage is greatly shortened.

This aircraft is finally ready for use.

Looking at the West again, in Germany, large intercontinental bombers have already performed strategic bombing missions at this time, and the German four-engine Junker-290 has long been a bomber with excellent stability.

And now, the first batch of six PE-8 bombers have been deployed to the 432 bomber regiment. This bomber regiment has secretly transferred to Central Asia. Their mission is to bomb Tehran!

The short-range SB-2 is mainly used to bomb the big cities along the route, Tabriz, etc. Of course, the bombing will not have much effect, mainly symbolic. Tell the Iranians to surrender quickly, otherwise, wait. Die!

Yakov, the commander of the bombing regiment, sat in his bomber. Although the performance was not good, the aircraft required a lot of manpower. There were 11 crew members to control this large aircraft.

"Start the engine." He looked at the pilot sitting next to him and prepared for takeoff methodically.

Turning various switches, the oil pump works, and then, the outermost engine, a puff of black smoke, the fuselage trembles, and the No. 1 engine starts!

Followed by No. 4, No. 3, No. 2, and after the four engines were started in sequence, the entire plane began to tremble, ready to go!

After calling the tower, Yakov’s bomber aimed at the runway. The pilot gently pushed the throttle. The aircraft rolled on the runway. The speed became faster and lighter. Finally, at the end of the runway, this The bomber pulled up and dived into the dark night sky.

At the back, the other five Pei-8 bombers took off one after the other. After the front and the long flight with the navigation lights on, the six bombers flew to the southeast.

Target, Tehran.

Flying at night is quite a test of the abilities of the pilots and their equipment. Up to now, no special development has been carried out in the Soviet flight regiment.

Similar to the German radio navigation equipment, it requires advanced electronic technology as support. Up to now, most Soviet tanks, even radio stations are not fully equipped, and there is no ability to equip such things.

Fortunately, the Soviets also have their own magic weapons, which of course are compasses and aeronautical charts!

Yes, this is the most primitive way to use the compass to determine the direction and draw the trajectory on the aeronautical chart. At the same time, you can also use Ardabil and Qazvin along the way to accurately find Tehran.

The capital of Iranians is too close to the north. If it is during the day, they can fly over the Caspian Sea and they will soon fly over Tehran!

After entering the sky over Iran, the Pei-8 bombers turned off their navigation lights. Now, they rely entirely on their own aeronautical charts for navigation, which requires fairly solid basic flying skills.

Fortunately, the Soviet bomber flight crews were all good. Soon, the navigator found the first big city Ardabil, where he corrected the navigation error and almost flew directly to Canada. The sky above Zvin, ahead, is Tehran!

"Attention, you are about to reach the target and prepare to drop the bomb!" Yakov calmly ordered.

Thanks to oil revenues, Iran’s national economy is constantly improving. Therefore, their big cities are lit at night, and you can see them from a distance, just passing by Ardabil and Qazvin. Time, that's it.

At present, the Pe-8 bomber, which lacks any night bombing equipment, drops bombs at high altitudes and completely relies on the target's lights. Tehran should be brightly lit.

However, the navigator in front of him had more and more questions in his mind.

In front, there is no light at all, it is dark, and the whole earth cannot find any target!

"Report, Tehran may have implemented light control!" The navigator hurriedly reported his inference.

The biggest advantage of night bombing is that there is no need to worry about the interception of the opponent's fighters. After all, the slow bomber is almost the fate of being slaughtered in front of the fighters.

But The biggest problem of night bombing is finding the target.

Every night bombing in Germany is meticulously prepared and requires the cooperation of ground personnel to guide the target. Now, the bombing by the Soviets is entirely hoped in a brightly lit metropolis.

This is simply too idealistic, of course, in history, they actually succeeded, because Iranians are even more idiots.

Now, Tehran only issued an order to implement light control 15 minutes ago. When every building is turned off, it was only five minutes ago.

Even so, it has caused huge trouble to the bombers in the sky. What should I do?

Continue to lower the height? Then they had to be lowered to a few hundred meters to see the ground clearly, and they were easily destroyed by the opponent's antiaircraft artillery. Since the opponent has controlled the lights, it shows that they have been prepared for their own bombing!

Moreover, here are all mountainous areas, flying here at low altitude at night is not something ordinary people dare to do.

"According to the aeronautical chart, enter the bombing route and perform the bombing mission!" Yakov gave the order.

Going around is also impossible. There is only one chance. After the bombing is completed, they will turn to the north and escape from the Caspian Sea. Now, they can only bomb blindly in the air!

Determine the time of arrival according to the speed and distance of the route, and then proceed with the bombing!

This is almost a kind of blind bombing. Anyway, this mission is just to throw a few bombs to Tehran to intimidate the Iranians.

Therefore, the navigator did not hesitate: "We are on the route, and the bomb will be dropped in a minute, and the bomb hatch will open!"

"bomb!"

One after another, bombs rolled down from the belly bomb bay of the Pei-8 bomber, and swayed towards the ground. ()
