The tu-4 bomber, that is, the B-29 bomber, was imported from the United States at a great cost by the Soviet Union. The total number of these valuable aircraft is 50. The Americans promise to supply parts, but they will never give more.

Therefore, the Soviet bomber forces must cherish these aircraft and not let them suffer great losses in the war.

At the same time, we must carry out combat tasks. This is a huge contradiction, and there is only one way to solve this contradiction.

Ultra low altitude flight at night.

Flying at night, the visibility is very low. In this case, ordinary daytime fighters can't see such a target as bombers at all. Therefore, it is quite safe.

The only thing that can pose a threat to them is the night fighter, which has been specially modified and is used to perform night combat tasks. It has good vision, long air stagnation time and fierce firepower. More importantly, it is equipped with radar equipment.

Although the target can not be found visually in the dark, the radar will brighten the eyes of fighter pilots at night, so that they can see the target clearly, and then cooperate with the radar station on the ground to perform the task with absolute ease.

In this case, high-altitude bombing at night is also quite dangerous. At the same time, they have a straight route at high altitude, which is easy to expose the target.

In this way, low altitude bombing is inevitable.

Of course, there is another reason.

High altitude bombing requires accurate aiming. At this time, they do not know that the Americans have successfully developed the advanced Norton high altitude bombing sight. The Americans have replaced their aircraft with backward original bombing devices. In this way, the accuracy of high altitude bombing is quite poor. If you want to improve the accuracy, it is inevitable to reduce the flight altitude.

As for why we only turn to low altitude now, if we have been flying at low altitude, is there enough fuel? In addition, just the confirmation of the route is enough to make the pilot collapse.

Now, as long as they aim at the route, they can accurately find the target. At the same time, they want to enter Germany. The dense ground radar network will give them nowhere to hide and they must enter low altitude.

With the order of waltzjego, bombers lowered their altitude from high altitude and dived into the vast land. Flying in the dark, they were prone to hallucinations. They believed that instruments were the only way.

The target Munich is located in the Upper Bavarian high plain of Bavarian free state, about 45 kilometers away from the north foot of the Alps, with an altitude of about 520 meters.

This is also one reason why they can carry out ultra-low altitude bombing. The other party is on the plain, and the Alps are in the south of Munich. If they bomb further south, they will die in ultra-low altitude flying.

Their flying altitude is 1000 meters, which is about 500 meters from the ground. At this altitude, the huge tu-4 bombers almost fly close to the ground. Those annoying night fighters can't find them at all.

"Radar echo disappears." In Berlin, Richthofen also kept receiving messages, and disappeared from the radar screen just after the target aircraft flew over Prague.

Of course, the other party will not crash, let alone fly away. The other party must have turned to ultra-low altitude, avoided its own radar and night fighter, and rushed towards its own Munich.

"It seems that the Soviets are really smart to make such obvious use of our loopholes. I guess the deployment of our territorial air defense forces must have leaked the secret." Richthofen said, gritting his teeth.

This time his side was disheartened. If there was no information leakage, Hitler HOFEN absolutely did not believe that spies on both sides could never be caught in the war.

After this incident, we must carry out a major mobilization and an investigation at the same time to find out the spies!

"They are flying at very low altitude, which just gives us a good chance." Just then, an assistant said, "if they can't find our city and continue to fly forward, they will fly to the Alps."

The assistant's words will shine in front of Richter hoffenton. Yes, it's a good idea!

As a person who climbed up step by step from the bottom of the air force, Richthofen certainly knew the difficulties of flying at night, especially navigation. Although it was nearly 50 kilometers from Munich to the Alps, it was only a short ten minutes in the air. For the crew who had been flying for a long time for several hours, these ten minutes were almost negligible.

Because of this long flight, they have accumulated a lot of route errors.

"Don't fire at the first ambush position. Prepare for an ambush at the second ambush position in inbrucco, evacuate all citizens in inbrucco, turn on their lights and pretend to be Munich."

Inbrucco, the extension line in the south of Munich, is close to a small town at the foot of the Alps. The dim lights will convince the enemy planes in the sky. Then, when they fly past, they will suddenly find that huge mountains appear in the dark. At that time, there must be no time to escape!

Nearby is the Harvard Leica peak at an altitude of kilometers, which is enough to reimburse their bombers.

This small town at the foot of the mountain is mainly engaged in tourism. Many people will start from here to climb the mountain. Now it is summer, so there are not many mountain climbers. The snow capped mountains in winter are the beautiful scenery here.

Even so, in order to reduce the casualties of innocent people, those citizens still need to be evacuated.

Richthofen did not know at this time that his order saved the lives of hundreds of citizens in the town, while the anti-aircraft artillery soldiers who did not know the second ambush position here were killed bravely.

At the other side's speed, it will take about 40 minutes to reach Munich. During this time, the layout of the second position can be completed efficiently.

At present, the empire is developing to install radar on aircraft, but the technical problems are more huge. If you want to see the ground from the sky, radar clutter is a huge problem.

Now, the other party has disappeared from the radar screen, and the other party's trajectory can only be judged in advance. If the judgment is wrong, other cities will suffer huge losses tonight.

Richthofen fully believes in his own judgment. As for the reason, it is also very simple. If he flies at ultra-low altitude, the range he sees will become smaller. It is very difficult for the navigator to navigate. He can't find the predetermined positioning point at all. Even if he finds it, he will fly by. There is no response time at all and he can't correct the route. Direct flight is the most possible.
