Chapter 1460 Bomb Rain

"Our maritime patrol aircraft has discovered the target, just in front of our route, and there are about a hundred nautical miles!" Although the reconnaissance aircraft was discovered, it still completed its mission and passed the target information back.

The B-29 bomber flying high altitude received accurate information. As they expected, the island's aircraft carrier sailed north of Midway Island. As long as the target was discovered and then attacked, it would be easy.

"Be careful, attack in order." Major General Ulf shouted in the radio.

Pay attention to the attack order!

If it is an ordinary bomb, there is no need for any order. However, for this kind of vb-1 bomb, since there are only five guide channels, if too many are thrown, it will be useless and will interfere with radio guidance.

The five bombers of the 444th Bombing Brigade flew out first, slowing down the speed behind them, and waiting for the bombers in front of them to drop the bomb before they can follow them to drop new bombs.

Major General Ulf's bomber flew in the front. At this moment, at the nose in front, Captain William Omole was fully focused and stared at the bombing sight.

Their VB-1 bombs are very similar to those of the German Fritz bomb. They are all guided by radio and rely entirely on manual operations. Whether they can hit the target depends on the technology of their operators.

At the same time, compared to German bombs, they are even more behind. They can only adjust the azimuth angle, not the distance!

In other words, compared with the front, back, left and right movements of the Fritz bomb's operating rod, it can only adjust left and right. When the bomb falls, it can turn left and right, but cannot change front and back.

It is named Azon, which means "azimuthonly".

This characteristic makes it easy to bomb long fixed targets, such as railways, bridges, etc., but it is not easy to bomb warships on the sea.

It was not until VB-3 that all this changed, and at the same time, the number of radio channels increased to 47, so everyone can come up and bombard it together.

At this time, the control of the entire bomber had been handed over to Captain William. Whether he could hit the target depends on him.

"Turn left and adjust to the left for a certain degree."

"Stay steady and prepare to enter the bombing route."

To use this kind of bomb to attack the enemy's target, you can only enter directly behind the opponent, so that the bomb can fly along the correct route. At the same time, you must pray that the opponent's fleet will not accelerate and do not change its course.

Inside Norton's sight, on the vast sea, the fleet was getting closer and closer. Now, they were at an altitude of eight thousand meters.

"Note, find the target and there is a bomber!" At this time, the Zero fighter flying in the sky raised his neck and saw the bomber flying from the sky. They were extremely anxious.

"We can't get up at an altitude of over 8,000!" The pilot in the Zero fighter shouted loudly in bird singing, notifying the mothership behind.

Nakayama looked over from the bridge. At this time, he also saw a formation of bombers flying in the air. They were large bombers, similar to the German Junker-290.

"The Americans are exhausted, and they actually use this bomber to bomb me. Don't be afraid, speed up and be ready to hide."

The Germans were dominating the development of weapons in this era. The Germans had already made verification results. When attacking surface ships, dive bombers were the mainstream. In every battle, almost every roaring Stuka took the lead.

Now, Americans have used such large long-range bombers to make trouble for themselves. If they want to hit, they must dive. If they only bomb at the horizontal plane, the accuracy will be almost zero, so don't worry.

At the same time, our own formation accelerates and it will be quite easy to hide from the bombs at that time.

The only thing that is unhappy is that they only get beaten and don’t fight back. They can’t hit that height, but after importing the bf109 from Germany, Americans can’t be rampant.

Our own R&D capabilities are really weak. So far, we have not created new fighter opportunities. Now, Zero War is getting weaker and weaker.

The island navy discovered the flying bombers, but they had no choice because the height was too high and they couldn't reach it.

In later generations, the b-29 bombing of the island country was also easy to use. The islanders had to be beaten and were forced to create anti-cannons with no war.

"Note that the bomb is about to be dropped, countdown, ten, nine..." At this moment, William was quite calm. When he counted to zero, he immediately pressed the bomb drop button.

The bomb hatch door on the belly of the machine opened, and inside, countless bombs rolled out and gathered in the sky, like a group of locusts rushing towards the island fleet.

Of course it was a group.

A vb-1 bomb weighs only 1,000 pounds and half a ton, while the b-29's bomb load is definitely more than ten tons. In this case, if only one bomb is loaded, it is definitely a huge waste. If all of it is loaded, there will be no enough radio channels, so the remaining mounts will be loaded with other bombs.

The vb-1 bomb fell last, and the moment it fell, the tracking flash system at the tail began to light up.

This kind of bomb was originally improved from the 1,000-pound m-44 bomb. Although it is equipped with a new tail wing, gyroscope stabilization system, rudder, etc., when the bomb falls, it is mixed in other bombs and is invisible at all. Therefore, there must be a constant flash at the tail, which is clearly visible from the carrier.

From this moment, William entered the nervous control, his pulse was as high as 140, his eyes were staring at the sight, with the flash of his own bomb inside, his hands constantly fine-tuning the operating rod, and the bomb flew towards an aircraft carrier with a large deck!

Behind this bomber, the other four bombers also dropped bombs, and the bombs were raining, flying towards the target. If the target continues to sail according to the original route, it will definitely cover the sky!

This is simply a carpet bombing!

If it is a fixed target, this method has huge damage ability, but now, on the sea, there are mobile warships!

"Note, the entire fleet is now full of the rudder!" Nan Yun Tadakaya shouted.

At this time, the warships had reached their maximum speed. Black smoke came out of the chimney at the top. The bow of the ship split the waves, and the propeller at the tail stirred the sea water, making a rustling sound.

Suddenly, all the warships and hulls were tilted to the right side together. When the full speed was moving forward, a right full rudder came, just like a fast direction on the highway, the body could definitely fly, and now, the inclination of the warship was thirty degrees!

Especially the aircraft carrier, the effect is very exaggerated when the deck is tilted. Fortunately, the naval soldiers are well-trained and they have long been used to this movement. Their bodies tilted with the warships, and their eyes are looking at the sky with disdain.

If you want to use dense bombs to blow up warships on high-speed navigation, the Americans are definitely funny, right?

For skilled soldiers, they could see with their naked eyes that almost all the bombs flew out, but some sharp-eyed people discovered something.

Behind the bomb rain, there seemed to be a very small number of bombs that changed direction in the sky, and it kept up with the fleet's turn!

In an instant, the flexible minded person remembered something. It is said that there are guided bombs in the German equipment. It seems that there is such a thing in the American arsenal!
