"We know it's dangerous, but we have no choice!" At this time, at hunton air force base, Craig brown, the commander of the 36th brenheim Bomber Squadron, shouted to his subordinates, "yes, yes, I won this task."
"The Germans are raging over our heads. In our capital London, the Germans bombed the seat of our government in an attempt to make us yield, but we will never yield!"
Craig is giving battle orders to his subordinates, but this order is unacceptable to many people.
Bombing Berlin, the German capital, is definitely a fatal mission, and such a mission is not assigned, but applied for. Craig applied for this mission among the six bomber squadrons.
Now, he has to convince his men.
"Yes, we will never give in!" A captain said, "since the Germans dropped the bomb on our capital, we also want to throw the bomb on the German's head. Our crew is willing to perform this mission!"
"This time, we need six bombers to bomb Berlin. Now, who wants to go, raise your hand and sign up." Craig said.
He was very satisfied. His subordinates raised their hands together!
"OK, everyone is great." Craig said, "then we choose six groups of the most experienced crew to bomb Berlin and the rest to bomb Paris."
Bomb Paris!
When Craig applied for an order, the whole squadron went out to bomb Berlin. It was very dangerous, and the symbolic significance was greater. Therefore, Craig only planned to use six planes, and the rest were to bomb Paris, because the evil guy was in Paris!
When the commander of the bomber force received the task, he searched and found that only the brenheim bomber was suitable for his men.
In the 1930s, British bombers, like fighter planes, were mostly double winged, and single winged ones were quite rare. Lancaster, the famous four engine bomber in later history, has not yet appeared.
The predecessor of "brenheim" was Bristol 142, the fastest passenger plane in Europe, which first flew in April 1935. At the same time, after being converted into a bomber, it is also the first modern cantilever monoplane with all metal load-bearing skin ordered by the British air force.
In March 1937, brenheim bombers began to equip the bombing squadron of the British air force to replace the old light biplane bombers, such as hawk, Hart and oddaxi.
So far, this bomber has been the main force of medium-sized bombers in Britain. Not only in Britain, but also in overseas colonies.
Throughout World War II, a total of 4422 "brenheim" participated in combat operations on various battlefields.
The latest modification of this bomber has a endurance of more than 2300 kilometers, which is just enough to meet the round-trip bombing of Berlin.
Therefore, just from the route selection, they put forward high requirements. They can't make any mistakes in the middle, otherwise they may not be able to fly back.
"It seems that we can only fly in a straight line, starting from the base, crossing Dutch airspace and reaching Berlin. In this way, we can also avoid the German radar warning net. " A captain said.
If you look at the distance, it seems easier to fly directly over the North Sea from central Britain. However, the Germans have deployed a radar warning network along the northern coast, which is easy to expose their own targets.
What's more terrible is that flying on the sea without any landmarks as a reference, so it's easy to get lost. Even one degree of error is enough to let them pass Berlin and return in vain.
Only when they fly over the Netherlands and use the landmarks of the Netherlands for midway correction can they accurately find their destination.
This is necessary.
Compared with bombing Berlin, the route of bombing Paris is much more convenient. A straight line is enough.
"I suggest that our bombers bombing Paris start as the first echelon, and the bombers bombing Berlin start as the second echelon." Another captain said.
The Germans must have deployed radar equipment on the French coast. As soon as their side passes, it will disturb the German air defense network.
In this way, the German's attention is focused on France. His side can just enter Dutch airspace from the north, which is more effective.
You know, in this era, night interception is still a big problem. The number of German night fighters is absolutely rare.
"OK, that's it." Craig said, "now, all the crew go to rest and get ready to start at 6 p.m.!"
If you want to be able to be beautiful at night, you must raise your spirits now.
They rested, and the ground crew began to be busy, preparing, maintaining, inspecting, refueling and hanging bombs for the bombers.
When the sun sets in the west, everything is ready.
"This time, the most difficult thing is not to guard against German interception or ground anti-aircraft guns, but whether we can accurately find the target." Craig looked at the excited crew in front of him and gave the order: "so I hope every navigator should guide meticulously and obey the command of the captain at the same time."
The most difficult thing is navigation! You know, in World War II, Germany was the most advanced in navigation technology, and the British were good at interfering with German radio navigation signals.
British radio navigation was only used in large quantities in 42 years. Now it is not mature at all. It is very difficult to guide flight with primitive and backward means.
Even so, they have to complete the task!
"Creak!" Just then, behind them, a car suddenly stopped and a fat man came down from the car.
Churchill!
There was a commotion at the scene. No one thought that the prime minister could come to see them off in the war!
"Everyone, the bombing of Berlin, the capital of Germany, and the bombing of Paris are our major combat operations. The people of the British Empire are looking forward to your triumphant return! I am here, waiting for your successful return! "
Churchill didn't say much, but he immediately stirred up the atmosphere. The people present, who were still solemn and stirring in their hearts, are now ambitious and full of heroism.
The whole country and people are watching behind them!
When night finally fell, one bomber after another took off from the runway and flew to a road of no return.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
