Chapter 1462 Bomb Rain

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

The B-29 bomber, which was flying at high altitude, received accurate information. As they expected, the aircraft carrier of the islanders was sailing north of Midway. As long as the target was found, it would be easy to attack.

"Attention, attack in order," Major General Ulf called over the radio.

Pay attention to the order of attacks!

If it's a normal bomb, there's no need for an order, but for this VB-1 bomb, since there are only five channels for guidance, it won't work if you drop too many, it will Interfere with radio guidance.

The five bombers of the 444th Bomb Group flew out first, and the latter slowed down, waiting for the bombers in front to drop their bombs before they could follow to drop new bombs.

Major General Ulf's bomber flew at the forefront. At this time, at the nose in front of the plane, bombardier Captain William O'Mole was engrossed and his eyes were fixed on the bombing sights.

Their VB-1 bombs are very similar to the German Fritz bombs. They are guided by radio and are completely operated manually. Whether they can hit the target depends on the skill of their operators.

At the same time, compared to the German bombs, theirs are still behind, it can only adjust the azimuth, not the distance!

That is to say, compared to the front, back, left and right movements of the operating lever of the Fritz bomb, it can only be adjusted left and right. When the bomb falls, it can turn left and right, but cannot be changed back and forth.

It was named Azon, which means Azon, which means "Azimuth Only".

This feature allows it to bomb long fixed targets, such as railways, bridges, etc., but it is not easy to bomb warships at sea.

It wasn't until VB-3 that everything changed. At the same time, the number of radio channels was increased to 47, and everyone could come up and bomb together.

At this time, the control of the entire bomber had been handed over to Captain William, and it was up to him whether it could hit the target.

"Turn left, adjust one degree to the left."

"Steady, prepare to enter the bombing route."

To use this kind of bomb to attack the enemy's target, it can only enter directly behind the opponent, so that the bomb can fly along the correct route.

Inside the Norton sight, on the vast sea, the fleet is getting closer and closer, and now they are at an altitude of 8,000 meters.

"Attention, found the target, there are bombers!" At this time, the pilots of the Zero fighter jets flying in the sky raised their necks and saw the bombers flying high in the sky. They were extremely anxious.

"We can't go up to an altitude of more than 8,000!" The pilot in the Zero fighter shouted loudly in bird language, notifying the mothership at the rear.

Nagumo Chuichi looked over from the bridge. At this time, he also saw the formation of bombers flying in the air. It was a large bomber, similar to the German Junkers-290.

"The Americans are out of their wits, and they actually used this type of bomber to bomb me. Don't be afraid, speed up, and be ready to evade at any time."

The Germans are leading the development of weapons in this era. The Germans have already made verification results. When attacking surface ships, dive bombers are the mainstream. At the beginning, almost every battle was led by the roaring Stuka. .

Now, the Americans have actually used this large long-range bomber to find trouble for themselves. If they want to hit, they must dive. If they only bomb on the horizontal plane, the accuracy is almost zero, so don't worry.

At the same time, the formation of one's own side accelerated, and it was quite easy to dodge the bomb at that time.

The only unpleasant thing is that they are only beaten, not fighting back, they can't hit that level, but after the BF109 is imported from Germany, the Americans can't be mad.

Our own research and development capabilities are really too weak. So far, we haven't come up with new fighters. Now, Zero War is getting weaker and weaker.

The island nation's navy spotted the incoming bomber, but they couldn't help it, because the altitude was too high for them to reach.

In later generations, the B-29 bombed the island country, which was also easy to do. The island people only had to be beaten, and were forced to produce anti-aircraft artillery with a caliber against the sky, and there was no example of any war.

"Attention, the bomb is about to be dropped, count down, ten, nine..." At this moment, William was quite calm, and when he counted to zero, he immediately pressed the bomb button.

The bomb bay door of the belly opened, and inside, countless bombs rolled out and gathered together in the sky, like a swarm of locusts, rushing towards the island nation's fleet.

Of course a group.

A VB-1 bomb is only 1,000 pounds and only half a ton, and the B-29's bomb load is definitely more than ten tons. In this case, if only one bomb is loaded, it will definitely be a huge waste. And if all are loaded, there will not be enough radio channels, so the remaining pylons will be loaded with other bombs.

The VB-1 bomb was the last to fall, and when it fell, the tracking flash system at the tail began to light up.

This kind of bomb was originally improved from the 1000-pound M-44 bomb. Although it was equipped with a new tail, gyro stabilization system, rudder, etc., when the bomb fell, it was mixed with other bombs. It's not visible at all, so, there must be a constant flash on the tail just to be clearly visible from the carrier.

From this moment on, William is in tight control, his pulse is 140, his eyes are fixed on the sight with the flash of his own bomb in it, his hand is constantly fine-tuning the lever, the bomb is pointing towards An aircraft carrier with a large deck flew away!

Behind this bomber, the other four bombers also dropped bombs. Pieces of bombs rained and flew to the target. If the target continued to navigate the original route, it would definitely cover the sky!

This is simply carpet bombing!

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

"Attention, the entire fleet is at full rudder right now!" Nagumo Chuichi shouted.

At this time, the warships had reached their maximum speed, billowing black smoke billowed from the chimney at the top, the waves split at the bow, and the propellers at the tail stirred the sea water, making a whistling sound.

Suddenly, all the warships and the hulls tilted to the right together. When a full right rudder came in at full speed, it was like trying to steer on the highway, and the body could definitely fly. Now, the inclination of the warship, A full thirty degrees!

Especially the aircraft carrier, seeing the deck tilting, the effect is very exaggerated. Fortunately, the naval soldiers are well-trained, and they have long been accustomed to this kind of action. Their bodies are tilted with the warship, and their eyes are looking at the sky. with disdain.

Want to use dense bombs to blow up high-speed warships, the brains of the Americans are definitely hilarious, right?

For skilled soldiers, the flying bombs could be seen with the naked eye almost all gone, but there were also sharp-eyed people who found something.

Behind the bomb rain, there seems to be a very small number of bombs, which actually changed direction in the sky, and it kept up with the turn of the fleet!

In an instant, the smart-minded person remembered something. It is said that the Germans have steerable bombs in their equipment, and it seems that the Americans have such things in their arsenals!
