Chapter 1576 Fly to Munich
It is already located in the Arctic Circle. In this summer, the night time is very short, and most of the time, the sky is bright.
At the same time that the submarine delivered the oil supply, there was also a high-speed speedboat from the direction of the inland river, which brought some bombs.
"Mount these bombs on the plane," said Wasserziger.
Although there was no data on the American bomber when it was manufactured, this bomb was just right to be placed in the bomb bay of the Tu-4 bomber. Each bomb weighed about eight tons. It is exactly within the load capacity of the Tu-4 bomber.
Wearing a fur coat, you can still feel the cold wind blowing against your face. In the entire 890 bomber regiment, only Wasserziger knows what this bomb is.
Of course, this is also for the sake of confidentiality, so that this bombing can be carried out smoothly.
"Commander, Moscow's order has come down, and the Hellfire operation has begun." At this moment, a telegraph soldier held a telegram and said to Wasserciego.
The fire of hell, the fire of vengeance, let this terrible flame burn on the land of Germany!
"Okay, let's have dinner now, and take off for the mission in an hour!" Wasserziger looked at the 24-hour watch on his arm and said.
It will be a long voyage, it will take more than 20 hours to go back and forth, and they need to have a good meal before leaving.
Meanwhile, for some, it will be their last meal.
The German night fighters were great.
"It's great, I can finally teach the Germans a lesson." After learning the news of the order, the others did not have such sadness. For them, this was a good opportunity to beat the Germans!
In war, where is the undead.
The food of the pilots is the best, and the food before departure is quite rich. Every pilot has his stomach bulging, and then boarded the plane one by one.
"Prepare to take off." Wasserziger's plane was the first in line. He sat next to his seat and watched pilot Lieboge start one engine in turn. When all four engines issued normal After the roar, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The American aircraft has not yet solved the problem of overheating of the engine. At the same time, there is no start-up test in severe cold areas. Thanks to the rich experience of the Soviet Union's ground crew, the aircraft is well maintained.
Slowly pushing the throttles of the four engines to maximum, Liebergo released the brakes.
At this time, it was in the state of the maximum fuel load. With the addition of bombs, the take-off weight of the entire aircraft reached a terrible figure of 60 tons, which made it take off even more slowly.
The four were started, and each was producing a maximum power of 1,600 kilowatts. Even so, the aircraft could only be pulled up slowly when it rolled forward to the end of the runway.
fly!
Liebo carefully operated the plane and climbed slowly. At this time, the plane had left the land, and the blue sea below was first, and soon it turned into white ice, and it was already over the North Pole!
The meteorological conditions here are quite bad. Even if you climb to an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, there will still be bad weather conditions, and you may even encounter downdrafts suddenly.
Even so, the brave Soviet bombers could not be stopped.
Behind them, one after another Tu-4 bombers took off. The fighters built with the most advanced technology from the United States are quite reliable, and none of them fell off the chain.
Twenty Tu-4s, even if they cannot completely destroy Munich, will bring heavy casualties, too large for the Germans to bear!
When the formation entered the cruising state, the most nervous thing was that the navigator went to Lieutenant Garnay. This route was their first flight, and he had to bring the entire formation to the right place!
One of the biggest problems is navigation. In this era, the magnetic compass is still the most common navigation method. The Soviets simply did not have the time and energy to develop advanced radio navigation, and radio navigation is straight-line navigation. This kind of walking around the North Pole way, even the Germans can't do it.
And near the North Pole, the magnetic compass is quite unstable.
Upper Garnay is constantly calculating, marking and drawing lines on the aeronautical chart, and he must not go wrong!
In the white North Pole, there are no landmarks to use at all, so his first navigation point will directly cross thousands of kilometers, and when he arrives in Finland, he can confirm the first route.
Before that, he was the most nervous.
Flying at high altitudes is boring, especially for gunners and the like, and now they can almost get a good night's sleep.
Sure enough, capitalist things are good. When I climbed to the rest area in the middle, the side walls were covered with leather, which was as soft as a woman's skin, and it was very comfortable to sleep.
Time passed little by little, and after Lieutenant Upper Garnay made two pilot turns, finally, the white North Pole disappeared, the azure sea disappeared, and at the same time, the day was fading, and it was slowly entering the night.
It is abominable that Finland, the odious country that has been engaged in a border war with the Soviets for several years, is now sending troops to attack the northwest of the Soviets.
Fortunately, this time our goal is not you, otherwise, we must turn the capital of Finland into a sea of fire!
"Ahead is Muonio, the route is basically correct, continue to fly south, we will fly over the Baltic Sea and pass over Poland. We are still one and a half hours away from the target. Be careful, you may encounter German fighter jets. Intercept." Lieber brother shouted.
After a long flight and overcoming the inadequacy of the magnetic compass, he successfully brought his formation over Finland and found the first navigation point, which was really not easy.
At this time, his heart is proud.
With the continuous defeat of the Soviets, Finland has long been no threat, so Finland did not implement martial law at night, and the famous ski city, which can be seen clearly from the sky, must not be wrong.
"Attention, it has entered Finnish airspace, be vigilant." Wasserziego shouted on the radio.
With his shouting, the resting gunners and others in the bombers finally ended their comfortable sleep and went to their jobs. The battle is about to begin.
Now, it was dark below. At an altitude of 10,000 meters, 20 B-29 bombers, driven by the North Pole airflow, were heading southwest at an economical speed of 400 kilometers per hour.
Wasslzygo would never have known that his calls on the radio had exposed him.
During the whole voyage, it is best to keep the radio silent, because Germany's electronic technology is very developed.
Helsinki, the capital of Finland, in the German embassy here, the monitoring personnel of an electronic monitoring station frowned.
"If you receive a suspicious signal, report it to your superiors immediately." The monitor shouted, "Please decipher it as soon as possible."
