Enter the bombing route!

Guided by the pilot aircraft, the bombers behind all lowered their flight altitude. In order to complete the bombing of the factory, there were 30 junker-290s, which was enough to carry out a carpet bombing in a complete sense!

During the day, in order to avoid the attack of ground artillery, they can fly at an altitude of more than 8000 meters, which is beyond the reach of anti-aircraft guns. Now, because it is at night and the other party has no defense, they boldly reduce the altitude to 4000 meters.

After entering the bombing route, Ludwig became more nervous, which means that the bombing is about to begin. You know, it used to be bombing during the day, but now they change to night!

There is only one chance. After the bombing, the British will be vigilant. It is impossible for them to easily bomb the aircraft factory again.

In the London area, there have been blackouts, but the factory in brownburg is still brightly lit.

Let the workers work in the dark? That's impossible. Moreover, no one expected the German bombing opportunity to patronize. They even flashed the street lights on the roads inside the factory. After all, the factory needs to continuously transport various parts in the process of production.

"Where's the fool who installed the street lamp upside down." A trailer carrying wings is passing through the factory road and wants to transport it to the factory area of the general assembly. He doesn't know how many times he has to walk on this 1000 meter long Factory Road in a day.

There are not many street lamps, but several of them are installed upside down! Other street lamps have reflectors above and bulbs below, so that they can shine on the ground. However, this street lamp has reflectors below and bulbs above. How stupid a person can do it!

While swearing, the driver thought to wait until the day to find an electrician to repair. Recently, the electrician is also very tired. Moreover, live work at night is dangerous. It can only be used after the street lights are powered off during the day.

He didn't know that the anti installed street lamps were intentional. The German agents ambushed in the factory deliberately reversed the street lamps. If a row of street lamps were reversed, it would certainly attract attention. Now, only a few lamps were reversed in the factory.

It looks no different on the ground, but in the air, it looks famous.

On the dark earth, there was a glimmer of light in the factory area. Now, the light of the street lamp can be seen very clearly on the bomber. Moreover, these street lamps vaguely form a cross mark!

Next, it's up to you!

After reconfirming that there was no problem with the route. In front was the British Spitfire fighter factory, Ludwig carefully adjusted the bombing sight in front of him and aimed the target at the light.

Now he can rest for a while and give it all to the bombing sight!

During World War II, the U.S. B-29 bomber had two secrets, the most important of which was the novel bombing sight invented by Carl Norton, a Dutch engineer.

The device includes a stabilizer and a sight.

The stabilizer is a horizontal working platform using gyroscope. Its function is to provide a stable working platform for the sight. Moreover, the stabilizer will work in conjunction with the bomber's autopilot, which can directly control the aircraft to maintain horizontal flight. The most precise is the sight, including a mechanical analog computer for calculating the impact point, a small telescopic eyepiece and a precision system composed of motor and gyroscope. This system can move the telescopic eyepiece to ensure that the aiming point on the ground is always in the field of vision.

It is precisely because of this advanced bombing sight that American B-29 bombers can carry out wanton bombing at an altitude of 10000 meters when bombing island countries, and fully reflect the effect of high-altitude bombing.

At present, German bombers are also equipped with similar bombing sights. They have devoted themselves to research in the Libyan base for five or six years, and have only recently been fully practical, and only a few have been provided to equip the long aircraft of each junker-290 bomber force.

Next to the bombing sight is a mass of thermite. Once the bomber is shot down or forced to land on enemy territory, the first thing for the crew is to destroy the sight. It is even two or three years ahead of the current United States!

The interior is assembled by more than 2000 precision parts, and a large number of precision gears and ball bearings are used. This instrument is quite advanced and easy to use.

Use the telescope eyepiece to find the target, that is, the light of the empty bulb that goes out in advance on the ground, although it looks very weak, it can determine a good position.

Next, place the target in the middle of the field of vision, and then turn on the power switch of the bombing sight.

After that, everything is automatic. The telescopic eyepiece servo motor will ensure that the eyepiece is always aligned with the selected target. At the same time, the whole aircraft is controlled by the bombing sight, and the final bombing is also completed automatically by the sight.

The bombers in the back just follow up and bomb together.

It would be disturbing to leave everything to the machine. After completing the aiming steps, Ludwig was still staring at the sight.

Getting closer and closer, two of them adjusted their directions. Finally, before reaching the target, the cabin door slammed open.

One bomb after another fell, eight tons of bombs, all of which were 500 kg free falling bombs, a total of 16, installed on the front and rear groups of runner pylons.

One bomb after another fell, and the plane was obviously light. Ludwig shouted, "the bombing is completed. In the airspace ahead, prepare to turn around and return!"

Hearing the news, the pilot pulled the joystick and the bomber began to climb, which is also an auxiliary measure to avoid collision with the rear.

At the same time, the bombers behind began to drop bombs in turn.

At this time, the first bombs dropped were flying forward and down.

The poor accuracy of horizontal bombing is caused by various reasons. In short, even the shape of the bomb and even the paint on the surface will affect its aerodynamic performance. In this era without electronic computers, no one can accurately calculate the trajectory of a bomb falling close to the speed of sound.

Therefore, the German bomber team's plan is carpet bombing. Even if the accuracy error is three square kilometers, it will cover an area of three square kilometers!

Moreover, they lowered the height. The bomb dropped from 4000 meters fell down at a speed almost close to the speed of sound. The first bomb was only 50 meters away from the target and the street lamp!

When he heard the sound above his head, the driver put his head out and looked at the sky. Then, he saw a dark shadow falling rapidly from the darkness. In an instant, he felt terror. The inverted street lamp shone on the dark shadow and entered his retina.

That's a big bomb!

"Boom!" The bomb exploded almost ten meters away from him!
