The improved shipborne radar has an effective detection distance of 300 km, while the two Soviet bombing forces before and after take-off are about 300 km apart. Moreover, after take-off, because the speed of the pei-8 bombers behind them is faster, their spacing is constantly shrinking, and now it has been reduced to about 200 km. In this way, the bomber forces behind, It was found.

Soviet bombers have dispatched more than one batch! At this time, Franz is facing a difficult choice. What should he do?

Are you going to continue chasing these bombers or intercept the next batch? For him, he has only one plane, and the tasks he can accomplish are limited. For him, of course, the most important thing is to be able to master the whereabouts of the enemy.

Yes, continue to intercept!

However, he could not let go of these planes. He said to his machine gunner, "throw a flare!"

Hearing his words, the machine gunner took out a flare from the cockpit and threw it down.

One or two small flares can turn a dark night into day.

During World War I, flares have been widely used, and a variety of flares have appeared. Now, Stuka bombers do not carry flares, just a few hand-held lighting grenades.

The machine gunner turned on the fuse of the flare and threw it out.

With the speed of the aircraft, the flare flew tens of meters ahead. Then, the projectile inside began to ignite. With a bang, the gas pressure generated by the projectile threw the illuminant and parachute out of the bomb. The parachute opened under the action of air resistance and hung the lighting box below.

In the lighting box, the lighting agent is ignited, and the magnesium powder and aluminum powder in it burn with the help of barium nitrate, producing a high temperature of thousands of degrees in an instant.

At the same time, it emits incomparably dazzling light, which lights up the whole night sky.

The night turned into day, and the DB-3 torpedo bomber troops in front suddenly appeared in the dark night sky.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Colonel yegini prizhblaczensky was also surprised when he listened to the curses in his headphones.

This sudden flare left them nowhere to hide in the sky, which shows that they have been found? So what's next? What should they do?

Give up the mission and return immediately? Of course not. What's missing?

"Oh, no!" Colonel yegini suddenly shouted.

A DB-3 bomber on the inner side of the formation was obviously stimulated by the flare. The pilot subconsciously pushed the operating lever, which seemed to want to hide in the dark night sky. However, or a sudden flare made the pilot lose his sight temporarily, and his hands shook.

In short, the bomber changed the original trajectory. Although they used a long-distance formation in order to prevent collision, they still could not guarantee absolute safety.

For example, now, the bomber changed its course, so that the other bomber at the right rear of its route could not avoid the past. As a result, its wing had close contact with the nose of the other bomber.

Air collision, which no one wants to happen, suddenly broke a large piece of the wooden wing, and another plane is even more terrible. The wing is like a saw, sweeping over the nose. The position of the navigator and bomber under the nose has been completely cut and cracked, and the incomplete glass is red with blood.

"Keep your current formation, continue flying, machine gunner, watch around us." Yeltsini shouted on the radio.

As a member of the bomber force, it's a shame that he didn't even have this psychological preparation!

The bomber force needs the bravest people to join, because the life of the pilots in the bomber force is very short.

When slow bombers fly into the enemy's airspace, even if they are escorted by fighter planes, they will often be attacked by the enemy's fighter planes, and the machine guns they use for escorting can not absolutely ensure their safety. Every task is a test of life and death.

No matter how much they pay, they must move towards their goals with firm perseverance. Their sacrifices are only for the sake of reducing more sacrifices for the ground forces.

Now, they were frightened by only a flare.

The plane with its wings broken was trying to maintain its flying attitude, but it was useless. Because the force was no longer balanced, it staggered for a few seconds and finally rolled down.

The plane with the broken nose is still flying. The cold wind blows up from the broken pilot cabin below. The pilots are still fearless. They want to move on. They are proud bomber pilots.

The machine gunner watched the sky with vigilance. Under normal circumstances, flares appeared from the sky. Next, a large number of fighters should rush towards them.

However, the machine gunners didn't see anything. The flare lit up in the sky for more than 20 seconds. In the first few seconds, they couldn't see anything clearly because of the sudden strong light. In the next ten seconds, they had recovered from their shock. They carefully observed the sky, but there was nothing.

Very strange.

Yegini is also very strange, but he didn't waste time on it. Anyway, no matter what happens, they have to complete the task. Now, continue to fly along the route!

They have no choice.

"Two of their planes collided." At this time, the Stuka bomber has continued to fly to the East. The machine gunner in the back seat shouted excitedly: "we only used a flare to kill a bomber, and we have achieved another victory!"

It's exciting enough, but they have more important tasks.

"At present, there are 13 bombers, all of which are dual engine models. Visually, they are DB-3 bombers of the Soviet Navy." The machine gunner continued.

Now, this Stuka is more suitable to intercept than to investigate. They need to identify the model and quantity of each other and provide information to the night Fighter Squadron in the rear.

They are not professional night fighters. Their planes do not carry airborne radar. They find the target completely by the naked eye. At this time, the night fighter forces on the land behind have received early warning and are ready to go out.

Let go of these DB-3 bombers, Franz always had a hunch that the next batch of bombers might be bigger guys.

The Soviets are going to bomb Berlin. This time, of course, they must have enough momentum.

Guided by the rear radar, the Stuka bombers continued to move forward. With the last experience, Franz expanded the search scope and finally found the second Soviet bomber force with the help of moonlight.

In the dark, the two sides almost passed by. At this time, the pei-8 bomber troops did not find the flying German bomber.

After all, it was dark all around. It was difficult for interceptors to find bombers, and bomber troops to find intercepted fighters until the gunfire sounded.

Relying on the moonlight, Franz saw the coming new bomber force. In an instant, he was excited. Without looking at anything else, just looking at the four engines on the wide wing, he could know that the coming fleet was the largest bomber of the Soviet Union, pei-8!

"The report found the Soviet pei-8 bomber force and asked for interception." Franz shouted on the radio.
