The peace Bay operation was an absolute big move jointly made by the German Navy and air force. The ten ju290 bombers pretending to be civil airliners flying from high altitude were only the first batch of vanguard troops.

At the same time, in the low air, a large number of ju88 bombers are coming in groups. They started the attack according to the pre assigned targets.

In previous battles, ju87 Stuka became famous. Its unique roar frightened everyone. In contrast, ju88 bomber is not very famous.

In fact, compared with Stuka, which can only carry out dive bombing, the Junker 88 bomber is a versatile aircraft. It is simply a universal aircraft!

EBAS has grown into an outstanding engineer in Germany. After developing Stuka, he immediately led the design of this new bomber.

All metal structure, four single wings; Two Yumo water-cooled piston engines, with a maximum output power of 1600 horsepower and a maximum range of 3150 kilometers. The maximum speed of this bomber has reached a terrible 540 kilometers per hour, even surpassing some British fighters!

In 37 years, this aircraft was officially finalized and entered the army. It was tested in the Polish battlefield and showed good performance, but it has not been used on a large scale.

And this time, for the bombing of Britain, it went out with all its strength!

So far, the German Air Force has equipped a total of 180 Junker 88 bombers. For this operation, in addition to those aircraft with mechanical faults and maintenance, the German Air Force has dispatched 140 Junker 88!

At the same time, it is also a long-range bomber in the air force other than Juncker 290, which can take off from Germany and fly to Scarpa Bay.

Although Junker 290 is powerful, it is small in number and can only pick up large bombs. There are too many targets in the whole Scarpa Bay. The air force has allocated more than half of these targets, almost all of which are realized by Junker 88.

In addition to loading bombs, there are 40 Juncker 88 loaded with torpedoes. After all, destroying the British fleet is the primary goal.

Captain helmtebole led four ju88 belonging to the 30th bomber wing. Before dawn, they took off from the German Air Force base. When they came to Scarpa Bay, they flew at ultra-low altitude and entered the sky over the land. Their goal was the base of the British naval aviation force to blow up all their fighters on the ground!

The smooth shape endows the aircraft with good performance. Captain helmtebole sat in his position and looked at the distance with the help of the cockpit glass with good vision.

"Attention, enter the bombing route and prepare to drop bombs."

Junker 88 is an advanced bomber. As a medium-sized bomber, it still retains the ability of dive bombing, which is a sharp weapon for sea attack. Now, it only needs horizontal bombing to attack air bases on the ground.

Enter the bombing route and prepare to drop bombs!

The effect of the surprise attack is obvious. In the east of the aviation base here, anti-aircraft guns are deployed. Now, those anti-aircraft guns are still in a state of panic, and no one fires at them.

Throw bombs calmly and let the British know Germany's anger!

After World War I, every German, in his heart, has a feeling of humiliation, and now, they are finally going to start revenge!

Bombing!

The engines on both sides roared, and the four crew members in the cabin performed their respective duties.

In the transparent glass cover at the nose, the bomber is staring at his sight and preparing for the final bomb throwing. A large number of small bombs are the most suitable to deal with this target.

Therefore, they are carrying 28 sc50 bombs. These bombs can form a large killing surface. Four bombers can almost carpet bomb the base.

Blow up their planes!

Suddenly, the bomber frowned.

"The report found that the British plane was taking off by force."

At this time, the British have no passive avoidance. They are actively facing. Several British swordfish attack aircraft are taxiing towards the runway and ready to take off!

What should I do?

"Modify the route and blast the runway first." Said Captain helmtpole.

When bombing the enemy's air base, should we blow up the aircraft first or the runway first?

Bombing airplanes is to destroy their war potential. After all, it takes time for airplanes to be rebuilt. Bombing runways first is to prevent them from taking off.

The German air force, even the most remote fw190 fighter, supports the round-trip flight from the base in northern Germany to Scarpa Bay. It can not provide continuous air cover. Moreover, this is a surprise attack, so their bombers are not escorted by fighter planes.

Moreover, there is still a problem with the cooperation between the air force and the Navy. Those Navy fighters have not contacted them until now. Obviously, at this time, if the other party wants to take off the fighters, it is also the right choice to blow up the runway first.

So the pilot pushed the joystick, slightly modified the route and aimed at the runway.

They entered from the east of the runway, and the aircraft below took off from the west of the runway.

Jack has pushed his engine throttle to the maximum. He has aligned the runway. Now, he must take off!

The swordfish attack aircraft with two wings has excellent takeoff and landing performance. As long as there is a distance of tens of meters, he can fly.

At the same time, in the opposite sky, the huge body appeared in his vision. It was a medium-sized bomber!

Bombs, in his sight, were released from the belly of the bomber and filled the runway in front of him!

What should I do?

In the field of vision, those bombs are about to catch up with the raindrops when it rains. If they are so dense, will they still have a way to live?

What should I do?

Jack shakes his handle to one side. The swordfish attack plane leaves the targeted runway and rushes to the grass on the other side.

The biggest advantage of biplane is its low takeoff and landing speed! During World War I, there was no need for a runway, just a flat grass! And now the swordfish attack machine, too!

Since the runway can't be used, take off directly on the grass!

"Boom, boom!" At this time, the SC-50 bomb had fallen to the ground. In the sound of one explosion after another, the swordfish attack machine bumped on the grass, and the wheel rolled onto a stinking stool. In front of it, there was a small pit dug by someone unknown.

The wheel was still moving forward. Just before it hit the pit, the wheel left the ground and flew up!
