Chapter 385: All out

Operation Peace Bay was an absolute big deal for the German Navy and Air Force to unite. The cross ju290 bombers flying from high altitude that pretended to be civil aviation passenger planes were just the first vanguard.

At the same time, at low altitude, a large number of ju88 bombers were coming in groups, and they began to attack according to the targets assigned in advance.

In the previous battles, Ju87 Stuka became famous. The unique whistle made everyone frightened. In comparison, the Ju88 bomber was not very famous.

In fact, compared to the Stuka, which can only conduct dive bombing, the Juncker 88 bomber is even more a versatile aircraft. It is simply a versatile aircraft!

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

All-metal structure, four-seat single wing; two Yumo water-cooled piston engines, a single maximum output power of 1,600 horsepower and a maximum range of 3,150 kilometers. The maximum speed of this bomber reaches a terrible 540 kilometers per hour, even exceeding some British fighters!

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

And this time, it launched its full force in the bombing of Britain!

The Luftwaffe has been equipped with a total of 180 Juncker 88 bombers so far. For this operation, in addition to those aircraft with mechanical failures and maintenance, the Luftwaffe dispatched 140 Juncker 88s!

At the same time, this is also a long-range bomber in the Air Force other than the Juncker 290, which can take off from Germany and fly to Scapa Bay.

Although the Junker 290 is powerful, it is small in number and can only pick up big ones to explode. There are too many goals in the entire Scapa Bay. The Air Force has allocated more than half of these goals, and almost all of them are achieved by the Junker 88.

In addition to mounting bombs, there are also forty Juncker 88s, which are mounted with torpedoes. After all, destroying the British fleet is the primary target.

Captain Helmtpoller led four ju88s under the 30th Bomber Wing, which took off from the German air base before dawn. When he arrived at Scapa Bay, he flew at a very low altitude and entered the land. Their target was the base of the British Navy Air Force and all their fighters were blown up on the ground!

The smooth appearance gives this aircraft good performance. Captain Helmtpoller sat in his own position and looked into the distance with the help of the cockpit glass with a good view.

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

Juncker 88 is an advanced bomber. As a medium bomber, it still retains the ability to dive bomb, which is a powerful tool for sea attacks. Now, attacking aviation bases on the ground requires only horizontal bombing.

Enter the bombing route and prepare to drop bombs!

The effect of the surprise attack was obvious. The east of the aviation base here was equipped with anti-aircraft artillery positions. Now, those anti-aircraft artillery are still in a panic and no one fires at them.

Slowly throwing bombs, letting the British know about Germany's anger!

After the First World War, every German felt humiliating deep in his heart, and now, they are finally about to take revenge!

bombing!

The engines on both sides made a roar, and the four crew members in the cabin performed their duties.

In the transparent glass cover at the nose of the machine, the bomb dropper was staring at his sight, preparing for the final bomb throwing. For such a target, a large number of small bombs are the most suitable.

Therefore, they were carrying 28 S50 bombs. These bombs were thrown down one by one and could form a larger killing surface. Four bombers could almost carry out carpet bombing of the base.

Blow out their planes!

Suddenly, the bomb dropper frowned.

"Reported, it was found that the British plane was taking off forcibly."

At this time, the British did not passively avoid it. They were actively fighting, and several British swordfish attack aircraft were sliding towards the runway and preparing to take off!

what to do?

"Change the route and blow up the runway first." Captain Helmtpoller said.

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

Bombing planes is to destroy their war potential. After all, it takes time to bomb and then build them. The first blowing of the runway is to prevent them from taking off.

The Luftwaffe, even the longest-range FW190 fighter, only supports round-trip flights from the northern German base to Scapa Bay, and cannot provide continuous air cover. Moreover, this time it was a surprise attack, so their bombers were not escorted by fighters.

Moreover, there are still problems with the cooperation between the Air Force and the Navy. Those naval fighters have not yet contacted them. It is obvious that at this time, if the other party wants to take off the fighter, it is also the right choice to blow up the runway first.

So the driver pushed the operating lever, slightly modified the route, and aimed at the runway.

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

Jack has pushed his engine throttle to the maximum, he has already set the track right now, and now he has to take off!

The double-winged swordfish attack aircraft has excellent take-off and landing performance. It can fly as long as it is a distance of several dozen meters.

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

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

what to do?

In his vision, those bombs were almost caught up with the raindrops when it rained. It was so dense that if he rushed over, would he still have a way out?

what to do?

Jack shook the handle beside him, the swordfish attack aircraft, left the targeted runway, and rushed towards the grass beside him.

The biggest advantage of biplane aircraft is its low take-off and landing speed! During World War I, there was no need for a runway, just a flat grass! And the same is true for today's swordfish attack aircraft!

Since the runway cannot be used, take off directly on the grass!

"Boom, boom!" At this time, the sc-50 bomb had already landed on the ground. Amid the explosions one after another, the swordfish attack aircraft was jogging on the grass, and the wheels crushed the stinky feces. In front, there was a small hole that I don't know who dug.

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