In fact, with the passage of the front, if you fly directly from Belgium, you can fly to Brest, but if you fly like this, you have to cross French airspace all the way, even from Paris.

You know, although the French air force has been unable to recover, it still has no problem to gather dozens of fighters to intercept. Therefore, considering various factors, this operation did not take off from the East and cross France, but from Spain and fly to Brest through the bay of Biscay.

From bassauri to Brest, the straight-line voyage is nearly 1000 kilometers. Is it a long voyage or at night!

During the sneak attack on Belgium, Germany chose to build a lighthouse on the ground. As long as you fly along the lighthouse, you can accurately enter the route. When the lighthouse ends, it means it's time to release the glider.

But it's not available now, because they are at sea after taking off. It's difficult to locate accurately by relying on a simple compass when flying on the endless sea in the dark night.

Fortunately, the technology in Germany has been developed enough. They have developed the latest navigation technology, radio navigation!

(with regard to radio navigation technology, the hero of East China will be put in the relevant works to save some people from saying that the hero of East China cheated.)

As early as 1911, some people studied the directionality of radio waves]. In World War I, the original ground radio direction finding navigation was used when the German Zeppelin airship bombed London, and the airborne radio direction finder was widely used in the 1920s.

In history, German radio navigation technology is relatively advanced. Many radio experts have emerged, specializing in radio navigation technology. The famous blind landing system of German Lorenz company is one of the best.

However, during the bombing of London, German bombers often could not find the target. On the contrary, when the Allied forces counterattacked and bombed Germany, they could clearly find the target.

It is not the Allied navigation technology, but because the Allied radio interference ability is strong, the German radio navigation equipment is often disturbed.

Now, it is completely different. The Libyan base in Germany has devoted more than ten years of research to radio navigation, overcome difficulties one by one, and successfully developed the current y-gera: T system.

It can be said that this navigation system is already the most advanced navigation system in this era (I won't introduce the specific principle, let's see the relevant works).

How advanced is it? In the rear port, a navigation station is set up, and the beam is directly aimed at Brest. The navigator can locate anywhere on the beam. Rho theta positioning method is used, and the accuracy is quite high.

How high is it?

The error is about 90 meters 200 miles from the navigation station!

Although not as good as later GPS, this navigation system is enough to guide your formation and fly over your destination accurately!

Flying is boring, especially for the special forces soldiers in the glider. Now is a good time for them to recharge their energy, and now is their most nervous moment for the navigator.

There can be no mistakes!

At the nose of the junker-290 bomber, navigator Ludwig, under the weak light, focused on the small signals on the cathode ray tube.

In the past, radio navigation was to make sound and identify directions through headphones. Now, it has been changed to display on cathode ray tube, which greatly improves the efficiency.

As he watched the signal, he drew a dotted line on a map marked with a curved grid. On that map, a long thick line began in bashuri and ended in the eastern suburb of Brest.

"The corrected heading is 021 and the scheduled arrival time is one hour!"

The junker-290 bomber could have easily flown at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour. However, after dragging more than 20 tons of gliders behind, even the four engines are running at full power, and the speed has dropped to 224 kilometers per hour. They need to fly for about four hours to reach the sky above the target.

After throwing the glider, it should be dawn. At that time, the glider will break away. It depends on the ability of the glider pilots. Our own side is responsible for sending them!

The heavy glider, carrying radio equipment, is very convenient to communicate with the towed aircraft and with each other.

On the first glider, Otto skorzner heard the sound from the navigation. It was about to reach the target in an hour.

He looked at his watch. It was just right. When he reached the sky above the target, it was just dawn. At the same time, it was also the beginning of his own battle!

He looked at his side. A famous soldier was closing his eyes. At the same time, there were soldiers who participated in the battle for the first time. At this time, he looked very nervous.

With the expansion of the war, his special forces are expanding rapidly. When he robbed Spain's gold, his men were only 50, but now they have expanded to thousands.

As a force formed under the personal order of head of state Chirac, he has high authority and can select excellent personnel from various forces to enter his force. Loyalty comes first and combat quality comes second.

In this way, most of them have been on the battlefield, and some good seedlings have not fought a war, but their military technology is quite excellent. For example, the young Morris around has not been on the battlefield.

"Morris, are you afraid?" Asked skorzner.

Morris immediately shook his head: "of course not. I will shed the last drop of blood in order to destroy the French!"

Skorzner patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then took out a kettle from his back backpack.

"Have a drink."

Morris picked it up and just put it to his mouth, a spicy smell came. It was not water, but wine!

"Drink it and you'll be a real man." Skorzner said.

Looking up, Morris gulped twice. When the wine flowed into his stomach, he immediately felt the whole chest burning.

This is the Russian favorite vodka. I don't know why skorzner also likes spirits. That's enough flavor.

Soon Morris closed his eyes.

Have a good rest, my child. In an hour, it will be our most brilliant time!

In the dark, 19 junker-290 bombers, pulling 19 super gliders, continued to fly towards the target.
