Chapter 529 Flying to Brest (Gagen)

In fact, as the front goes on, if you go directly from Belgium, you can fly to Brest, but if you fly like this, you have to go through French airspace all the way, even from Paris.

You must know that although the French Air Force has already slumped and assembled dozens of fighter jets to intercept, there is no problem. Therefore, considering various factors, this operation did not take off from the east and crossed France, but from Spain. Depart, fly to Brest via the Bay of Biscay.

And from Basaury to Brest, the straight-line voyage is nearly 1,000 kilometers. This is a long voyage, and it is still night!

When attacking Belgium, Germany chose to build a lighthouse on the ground. As long as you fly along the lighthouse, you can enter the route accurately, and when the lighthouse ends, it means that it is time to release the glider.

But it is not useful now, because they are at sea after taking off. In the dark night, flying on the endless sea, relying on a simple compass, it is difficult to accurately locate.

Fortunately, Germany's technology is already developed enough. They have developed the latest navigation technology, which is radio navigation!

(As for the radio navigation technology, East China Hero will be included in the works related, so as to save some people from saying that East China Hero is cheating.)

As early as 1911, the directivity of radio waves was studied], and in World War I, the German zeppelins used the original ground radio direction finding navigation when they bombed London, and the airborne radio direction finders were used in 20 It has been more widely used since the age.

Historically, Germany's radio navigation technology is relatively advanced, and many radio experts have emerged, specializing in radio navigation technology. The famous German Lorenz company's blind landing system is one of the best.

However, in the bombing of London, the German bombers often could not find the target. On the contrary, when the Allies counterattacked and bombed Germany, they could clearly find the target.

Not because of the Allied's navigation technology, but because of the Allied's strong radio interference capabilities, Germany's radio navigation equipment is often in a state of interference.

But now, it is completely different. The German base in Libya has conducted research on radio navigation for more than ten years, overcome difficulties one by one, and successfully developed the current Y-Gera:t system.

It can be said that this navigation system is already the most advanced navigation system in this era (the specific principles will not be introduced, see the works).

How advanced is it? In the rear port, a navigation station is set up, and the beam is aimed directly at Brest. The navigator can locate anywhere on the beam. The rho-theta positioning method is used, and the accuracy is quite high.

How tall is it?

The error is about 90 meters at 200 miles from the navigation station!

Although it is not as good as the GPS of later generations, this kind of navigation system is enough to guide its formation and fly to the destination accurately!

Flying is boring, especially for the special forces fighters in the gliders, they are a good time to recharge, and for the navigators, it is their most stressful time.

There can be no mistakes!

At the nose of the Junker-290 bomber, the navigator Ludwig, in the dim light, was attentively watching the small signals on the cathode ray tube.

In the past, radio navigation was to make sounds and identify directions through headphones, but now, it has been changed to display on the cathode ray tube, which greatly improves the efficiency.

Watching the signal, he drew dotted lines on a map marked with a curvilinear grid, where a long thick line started from Basauli and ended in the eastern suburbs of Brest.

"The corrected course is 021, and the scheduled arrival time is one hour!"

The Junkers-290 bomber could easily fly at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour. However, after dragging more than 20 tons of gliders behind, even the four engines were running at full power. The speed has also dropped to 224 kilometers per hour, and they need to fly for about four hours before they can reach the target.

After throwing the glider, the sky should just be bright. At that time, when the glider is detached, it depends on the ability of the glider pilot. We are responsible for delivering them!

Heavy glider, carrying radio equipment, very convenient and towed aircraft contact, and to each other.

On the first glider, Otto Skorzeny heard the sound of the navigation, and in an hour, he was about to reach the target.

He looked at his watch and calculated that it was just right. When he reached the sky above the target, it was just dawn. At the same time, it was also the time when his own battle began!

He looked at his side, a famous soldier, who was closing his eyes and resting. At the same time, there were also soldiers who participated in the battle for the first time, looking very nervous at this time.

With the expansion of the war, his special forces are expanding rapidly. When he was robbing Spain for gold, there were only fifty men under him, but now, it has expanded to thousands.

As a troop ordered by the President of Cyric himself, he has high authority and can select excellent personnel from each troop to enter his troop. Loyalty is the first, and the second is combat quality.

In this way, most of them have been on the battlefield, and there are also some good seedlings who have never fought in wars, but their military skills are quite strong. For example, the young Morris around him has never been on the battlefield.

"Maurice, are you afraid?" Skorzeny asked.

Morris immediately shook his head: "Of course not afraid, I will shed the last drop of blood to destroy the French!"

Skorzeny patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and then, from the backpack in the back, took out a water bottle.

"Drink a sip."

Morris picked it up and just put it to his mouth, a spicy taste came, not water, but wine!

"Drink it and you're a real man," Skorzeny said.

Looking up, Morris took two gulps. When the wine flowed into his stomach, he instantly felt that his entire chest was burning.

This is the Russians' favorite vodka. For some reason, Skorzeny also likes spirits, which is enough.

Soon Morris closed his eyes.

Rest well, my child, and in an hour, it will be our best time!

In the darkness, nineteen Junkers-290 bombers, pulling nineteen super gliders, continued to fly towards the target.
