Every plane has a line of letters on the nose, revenge!
One of their companion brigade, the 462 bomber brigade, has been cancelled. The entire brigade was killed in the first bombing mission. For them, it is absolutely unbearable. They want revenge for the 462 brigade!
For this night mission, they must turn the entire Midway Island into a place of death!
Captain Michael, a young guy in his early thirties, was just a small captain just a few months ago. With the rapid expansion of the bomber force, his position is rapidly rising.
Now, holding the flight briefing, he looked at his pilots and spoke very briefly: "This time, we are going to avenge our 462 brigade. We are going to explode the bomb accurately on Midway Island. Completely turned into ruins, just like the former Petersburg."
They already have a terrible big bomb, which is no secret, but now that they hear that their bomber is carrying this kind of bomb, everyone is still very excited.
"Attention, before flying over the target, turn off all the flying lights. Don't let any mistakes ruin our lives. Don't make mistakes in our navigation this time. Act according to our plan. Now, let's go!"
For night bombing, navigation is the first priority. In the previous successful night bombings in Germany, all sorts of methods were used for night navigation.
Now, the plan of the US bomber force is very simple, because the Hawaiian Islands are still in their hands!
They first fly to Hawaii, where there will be precise ground lights to indicate their heading. As long as they fly the correct distance along the route, they will naturally be the destination.
As the most advanced bomber, B-29 navigation equipment is also quite advanced, and with the help of the ground, they can ensure that there will be no accidents.
A famous pilot boarded his bomber, and amid the roar of the engine, the B-29 fleet took off.
This time, they don't even need the **** fighter jets, after all, it's useless at night.
In the black night sky, it is very difficult to find the target, it is difficult to find a large bomber, and it is even more difficult to find a fighter.
Although the 462 bomber squadron was annihilated, they were not afraid.
A group of bombers rolled off the runway, lifted off, and got into the dark night sky.
At this time, the island of Newfoundland in Canada is also pitch black. Just before dawn, as they fly eastward, the sky will slowly brighten.
This time it was the 20th Bomber Wing and the second B-29 Bomber Wing. Although the training time was not long, most of the pilots were transferred from the B-25 and B-17 units. The experience is very rich.
Following the whining sound of the base, a famous pilot rushed to his bomber.
Captain Howard Jarrell was also running quickly towards his bomber. He was in his thirties and was the golden age of a man. He ran fast with his full set of flying equipment.
Although it is pretending to be a civil airliner, it is also dangerous. The long-range P-51 Mustang fighters cannot perform intercontinental **** missions for them. In order to complete this long-range flight, they have reduced weight, and even carried only four bombs. Tons, the rest is used for more fuel.
Once intercepted by the Germans, it may be the same as the encounter on Midway Island. You must know that the German fighters are more terrifying, and there are still rumors. There is also a fighter without propellers that is even more powerful.
They have the mortal consciousness. The task of bombing coastal shipyards is arduous and must be completed. When they joined the US Army, they planned to die for their country.
Even so, it is the best way to save lives. Howard's outfit includes an umbrella bag and marine life-saving equipment. If he had a chance to parachute, he might still survive.
Now, the sky is still dark. After they took off, they flew east for more than an hour, it was daylight, and they continued to fly east, and when they flew to the Spanish coastline, it should be in the afternoon local time.
Hope it goes well.
Howard drew a cross on his chest, got into his cabin, and started preparing for takeoff.
At the same time, in Greenland, in the frozen zone of high latitudes, the B-25 fleet that has just arrived here is refueling.
"Bah." The pilot, Gruss, got off the plane and vomited fiercely toward the tarmac: "This is the plan that someone came up with with his ass, and we are all tortured."
The B-29 took off directly from the base. Their B-25 bomber unit, because of the lack of range, had to make a transition in advance. Flying over this route was indeed a toss-off. What Gros said was not derogatory, he was just complaining.
"Yeah We are quite tossing." The red-eyed captain Charlie also said with a sigh: "It's been almost 20 hours since I closed my eyes. Now, let's squint for a while. After two or three hours, it is estimated that the order to take off will come down."
They moved from the base and haven't rested yet. Now, it is precious rest time, everyone knows that time is tight.
They are an echelon waiting for the homeland to take off. The two sides coordinated and launched an offensive together. According to the plan, when the plane from homeland is halfway, they should be dispatched. After all, flying at ultra-low altitude is quite laborious.
"Yes." Grus thought of his goal before takeoff, flying all the way at a super low altitude is definitely a personal task, and now, if you can rest, let's rest!
Several people walked to the small duty room on the side, and soon snored.
It's close to the North Pole and it's almost always in a state of extreme daylight.
Iceland, Reykjavik.
Since the last brief war, Iceland has regained the peace in the past, which seems to be no different from before. In the outskirts of Reykjavík, there are more military bases.
The runway is directly frozen soil. In this high latitude area, it is quite complicated to carry out infrastructure projects, and at the same time it is not necessary. For an excellent fighter aircraft, it can even take off directly from the wild.
Now, inside the base, a Junker-88 is preparing for takeoff.
Junker-88 does not seem to be well-known. It is not like Stuka with the inverted seagull wing, whistling and intimidating everywhere, nor is it like Junker-290. Once dispatched, it is terrible destruction.
However, the Junker-88 is a truly excellent tactical bomber, and it is the silver bullet in the entire equipment. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
