As time goes by, the upper garnai at the nose of the ultra-low flying bomber is the most nervous at this time.

According to the speed of the plane, he constantly marked on his chart and determined the voyage according to time.

This is an error. The biggest error comes from the speed of the aircraft.

In this era, the airspeed tube has been used to measure the speed of aircraft. Through the comparison of static pressure and dynamic pressure in the tube, this airspeed tube has a great defect, that is, it can only measure the speed relative to the air.

If the air does not move, it is the speed to the ground. If the air is flowing, it can only measure the speed of the relative air. How do you know the speed of the outside air?

impossible.

This is also an important problem faced by bombers in navigation, and now Germany is solving this problem. The solution is also very simple. Speed radar, direct ground measurement, obtains the ground speed.

Tu-4 bombers do not have such a device yet. Their measurement is destined to be only the measurement of air. In this case, there must be some errors.

The previous errors were calibrated once when passing through Prague. In the long flight, the errors have accumulated more than 30 kilometers.

Now, new errors must continue to accumulate. In particular, upper garnai feels a little strange.

Although there are no special big cities along the way, should there be some in the countryside?

Now, German farms are also very advanced. In peaceful villages, the lights should also be on at 10 o'clock. However, after entering German airspace, I never saw the light on the ground.

This made their flight full of tension.

Ultra low altitude flight has been a test of pilots' psychological quality and completely depends on instrument flight. Now, it is completely dark below. They don't know where the ground is, which virtually gives them more pressure.

In this way, they kept flying forward in the dark, and the corresponding line was getting closer and closer to the end on the chart in garnai's hand.

"Expected to reach the target in five minutes." Said upper garnai.

"Expect to reach the target in five minutes and prepare to drop the bomb." "After dropping the bomb, speed up the climb immediately and turn back according to the predetermined plan," warsziego shouted on the radio

Five minutes!

After a long flight, everyone was very tired. Now, they were about to get over the target. They cheered up again.

It's a miracle that they didn't encounter anything all the way. As long as they dropped the bomb, they can return smoothly and complete this arduous flight mission.

Upper garnay is still the most nervous. He has begun to lower his head and stare at his sight. He takes the lead in increasing and then decreasing, but he can't see anything in the dark below.

Time continued to move forward, four minutes, three minutes, two minutes. It was still dark in front. Upper garnai shouted, "commander, the target didn't appear and you can't see anything."

It's dark below. You can't see any targets at all. According to your carefully marked chart, it's the front.

What should I do?

Two options.

One is to lower the altitude and continue to fly down. You may see it clearly.

One is to fly high. The higher you fly, the farther you see. Now you can't see clearly. You may see clearly when you fly high.

Walter zjego frowned, which was the worst case.

Originally, I thought Munich was a big city with bright lights. Even at night, it was very bright. Who would have thought that all the following were black?

Is your route wrong?

So he planned to pull up the plane and climb up, and at this time, the pilot libergo had shouted, "there seems to be a light in front!"

At this time, they had actually flown over Munich. They saw a faint light dozens of kilometers away.

"Flying towards the bright light, we may have a deviation in our route." Said wasserzjego.

That light represents a city on the ground, and hope is the goal we are looking for!

Still ahead?

The upper garnai at the nose also saw a bright spot in the distance. He looked at the chart again. If he followed his navigation data, he had reached the edge of the dangerous Alps.

Is it an error in navigation?

Although the upper garnai is very strange and doesn't think much, since there is a light in front, fly over and have a look.

The huge tu-4 bomber continued to fly at an altitude of 500 meters from the ground. Time was still passing little by little, and it was getting closer and closer to the lights.

"Attention, prepare to drop the bomb." Vassilzyego shouted on the radio.

Even if Munich is not ahead, they have no choice. The flight is carefully planned, and the fuel is just enough to go back and forth. At the same time, it is too dangerous over Germany, so they must not stay too much.

Finish the bombing and fly back safely!

Bombers are ready. The bomb hatch has been opened. As long as they fly over the target, they can drop bombs!

Upper garnay was more absorbed. His eyes were on the sight and carefully adjusted the sight. At this moment, he had the command power of the whole aircraft. He could fly as he wanted.

His right hand is on the weapon throwing button. As soon as he finishes aiming, he will start throwing.

At this point, the time starts in seconds.

On the nose, libergo and warszyego sat side by side in the cabin. Libergo kept flying smoothly and created good conditions for bomb dropping. At the same time, his right hand was also placed on the throttle lever. As long as the bomb was dropped, he had to drive away at full power. It is said that the bomb carried this time was quite powerful. If he was not careful, he would drop it at such a low altitude, It's easy to hurt yourself by mistake.

"Countdown."

"Ten, nine..." when upper garnay counted down to five, suddenly, before libergo's eyes, a tall mountain appeared. In the dark, the mountain was just revealed in the back of the night, and he had been startled into a cold sweat.

My own bomber is hitting the mountains at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour. I'm afraid it's only a few hundred meters away!

"Attention, there is a mountain ahead. Climb immediately!" Cried libergo loudly, holding his operating panel in his arms and fully opening the accelerator.

At this time, let alone bombing, it is unknown whether they can avoid the risk of hitting the mountain.

And almost at the same time, on the ground, suddenly appeared the lights of searchlights!
