Chapter 1684 Waiting to Leave
If the autumn wind swept away the leaves, when the bomber unit left, the entire base was already in flames.
At this time, a group of bombers from far away Canada was flying on the route of civil airliners.
If you want to display a dot on the radar screen, it must be dense enough. Now, twenty bombers form an echelon. Meters, almost every one of them flies behind the butt of the previous one.
If it is at a low altitude, such a dense formation is very dangerous, but there is no big problem at high altitude. After all, there is no strong airflow at this high altitude, and it will not cause any disturbance to the flight.
If it is the millimeter wave and microwave radars of later generations, they may still be able to distinguish them, but the current radars are mainly concentrated in the meter wave band. The wavelength is long and the resolution is not high. This dense formation is enough to deceive the ground. radar station.
At this time, in the leading bomber, Howard sat in the cockpit, his eyes constantly searching the surrounding airspace.
The sky is clear and cloudless, and you can see far away.
Originally, simulated civil aviation flight was foolproof. High-altitude and long-distance flight was boring. Many of them chose to rest in the middle. However, when the news of the air raid on Greenland came, they immediately became nervous.
Germany doesn't bomb in the morning, it doesn't bomb in the evening, it just happens at this time!
This shows what? Could it be that our intelligence has leaked again this time? If so, maybe there are German fighter jets waiting for us in the airspace ahead!
The B-29's dense formation tactics were thought to be foolproof, but when they bombed Midway, they were easily killed by the islanders, which gave everyone a bad feeling.
The bomber unit has a high mortality rate. They are conscious, but if they are wiped out every time they bomb for the first time, then they are completely killed. This is the most cruel, right?
However, maybe things are not so bad. Their target is Spain. The German air defense force in Spain should not be a lot, right?
The bomber continued to fly smoothly, as if it was just an ordinary day.
When it was dawn on this side of Europe, the other side of the world, Midway, was still in darkness.
The waves crashed against the reefs on the shore. A transport ship, leaning against the night, docked on the pier. When the sampan of the ship was lowered, a famous woman in a kimono came out of the cabin.
In an instant, the soldiers of the island country who were standing guard on the shore, their eyes straightened, they swallowed and watched the famous woman come ashore.
Although they want to have a good time, they also know that such a woman is not something they can bear.
After this group of women went up, the next thing was the women in rags. They were escorted here. Many of them were scantily clad and their eyes were dull. Well, these women are the lower-level soldiers. If you can enjoy it, wait until you change posts and have a good time.
"Commander, the comfort ship has arrived." On the island, Pheasant Fifty-six heard the report of his subordinates.
"It's not easy for the soldiers, it's hard work, let the comfort ships stay for a few more days." Pheasant Fifty-Six said: "By the way, when will my plane arrive?"
"Fifteen minutes left." Kondo Nobutake said.
Originally, when Pheasant Fifty-Six came, he took an ordinary Betty attack plane. Although this kind of attack plane common to the navy of the island nation, although it is easy to be blown up, it has a large range and a fast speed. This evening, before Pheasant Fifty-Six decided to leave, an engine suddenly suffered a failure. Therefore, Pheasant Fifty-Six could only wait for another Betty attack plane to fly to meet him.
After all, the fighter jets here are all single-seat now, and the pheasant fifty-six does not like to take a boat, and the speed is slow.
Pheasant Fifty-Six looked at his watch, fifteen minutes was not long, and in this office, Pheasant Fifty-Six was already tired of staying.
"Let's go, let's go to the runway and wait." Pheasant fifty-six straightened his collar and went out now, just to check the combat readiness. After the failure of the last air raid, the Americans would definitely not be willing to fail. They will make a comeback again, so at any time, their defenses cannot be relaxed.
The dwarf pheasant fifty-six is the flower of the empire's navy. It can be said that the empire's current achievements are completely dependent on his efforts. The original battle of Pearl Harbor established the empire's hegemony in the Pacific Ocean. Now, with a firm foothold on Midway, the United States can finally compromise and sign a peace treaty with the Empire.
Pheasant fifty-six is very satisfied. No matter how the Germans protest, they only need to stabilize their rights and interests in the Pacific Ocean. After all, Southeast Asia is the most important goal of the empire. Actions in the Pacific Ocean are not to defeat the Americans, but It is to prevent Americans from meddling in the affairs of the Western Pacific.
On the runway, the lights were dimly lit, and four BF109 fighter jets were on standby at the end of the runway. As long as there was a situation, they would take off immediately to meet the enemy.
In this era, night warfare is still very primitive. Like Germany, the strategy of putting the radar on the plane, carrying out terminal guidance, and relying on the ground radar station to guide this kind of combat plan is quite advanced. Most countries in this era have no such conditions.
They can only use their own eyes and their own experience to look for the enemy's traces in the night sky.
"Yes, the empire needs soldiers like you." Pheasant fifty-six said, looking at several fighter planes on the runway and the pilots sitting on standby in the fighter planes.
The pilot saluted Pheasant Fifty-six on the fighter plane and watched him continue to move forward. At the same time, they are also preparing for departure. Now they are on standby. After a while, when the pheasant fifty-six leaves, they will become the escort plane of the pheasant fifty-six, and there will be several other planes. Take on standby tasks.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound in the sky in the distance.
"Turn on the runway lights and guide our plane to land." Kondo Nobutake said.
Flying at night is a lot of inconvenience, especially finding a few islands in the vast sea is even more difficult. Now, in order to guide your own plane to land, you must turn on the runway lights at the airport.
If it is in the wild, it is necessary to set up a row of bonfires along the landing runway to guide the planes in the sky.
Following his orders, the runway lights came on one by one, illuminating the runway and illuminating several waiting people.
In the sky, all this seems so obvious.
