Chapter 193 Air Raid (1)
All the ground crew members on the deck cheered. As long as the bf109 and a 500-liter discardable secondary fuel tank can take off, Li Mo has many more tactical choices. The chapter updates are fastest and other aircraft carriers have also conducted relevant tests. Although the modified aircraft carriers of merchant ships cannot withstand the beating, the speed is faster than Zeppelin. Their speed is at least about 34 knots. As long as the Zeppelin aircraft carrier can take off, other modified aircraft carriers are not a problem at all.
Now the range of the bf109 is loaded with a 500-liter discardable fuel tank can be increased to 1,400 kilometers, about 700 nautical miles, and the combat radius is 350 nautical miles.
At five o'clock in the morning on August 30, 2019, the aircraft carrier formation led by Li Mo began to take off. Each aircraft carrier left two BF109s for the fleet air defense, and all the remaining aircraft took off. All 452 aircraft took off at one time. All BF109s took off directly to two military airports in Scapa Bend, and then went to fight with British carrier-based aircraft. Because the speed was only more than 400 kilometers per hour, it was more than 200 kilometers per hour slower than BF109, they would reach the battlefield half an hour later than BF109. Don't worry about the ju87's range. Although the ju87 was not fast, its range reached 1,500 kilometers.
All aircraft carriers lined up in a row, sailing at high speed in the wind, destroyers were alert around the aircraft carriers. Yue'er didn't know when it had reached the position that was about to set. A few stars in the sky shone with nearly half a meter of waves, and all aircraft carriers were brightly lit. Countless planes roared into the sky. After the bf109 flew together, the ju87 aircraft then took off. Bf109 did not wait for the subsequent ju87, but after the formation in the air, they went straight to Scapa Bend.
Li Mo was fighting on the command tower. Seeing the crew gradually disappearing into the night sky, his heart completely calmed down. Whether he could succeed depends on this hammer transaction. Even if Li Mo was extremely nervous, he could not change anything. It would be better to wait for the result easily:
"Order the formation to continue sailing at Scapa Bend at high speed, so that our brothers who come back can spend less fuel and can stay empty for a little longer on the enemy's heads."
The deputy commander-in-chief next to Li Mo did not talk back to Li Mo now. He quickly conveyed the order. But Stephen still reminded:
"Commander-in-chief, we'd better travel only two hundred nautical miles from Scapa Bend. It's not safe to be close to our entire formation. After all, there are thousands of planes in the UK. It's only half a day to reinforce Scapa Bend."
"Well. Just do what you want! You are here to watch. I'll be relieved to do your business, I'll go back to the combat command room."
...
Witt is the commander of this BF109. This time he led more than 220 BF109s to two military airports in Scapa Bend. These two military airports are located on Hoy Island and Maynland Island. These two islands are the two main islands surrounding Scapa Bend, and are relatively large in area. They are the two main military airports that Britain controls the North Sea and Atlantic routes.
The fully loaded bf109 cannot fly too high. The altitude of three thousand meters is just right. The fleet of more than 200 aircraft is quite large. Forty minutes, all aircraft are organized into a squad of each aircraft carrier, and there will be no confusion in command. Forty minutes later, according to the plan, the entire fleet was divided into two again. The first group rushed to Meinlan Airport, the second group was led by Witt himself, and the second group was led by Deputy Commander Orr.
Wireless communication is not available at this time, Witt and Orl can only make judgments based on the aviation map. There are moons and stars now, and when they are cooperating with the aviation map, they will not get lost.
At this time, a trace of white fish appeared in the sky. It was dawn, and the sun below the horizon had illuminated the clouds in the sky. Five minutes later, Witt saw the outline of a large island in the distance. At this time, radio could not be used. The "Tiger and Tiger" plan clearly stipulates that only when one of the groups launches an attack can the radio be turned on.
Witt, who was flying in the front, controlled his plane to sway the plane's wings and began to lower the altitude. The optimal height for this horizontal bombing is about one thousand. If it attacks the ground and does not move the target, the height should not exceed two thousand meters, otherwise the sea breeze will blow the bomb away from the target.
Two thousand meters, Witt is still lowering the altitude. Of course, the planes following Witt are headed by Witt. One thousand five hundred meters, the plane is still lowering the altitude. The island of Meinland ahead has become clearer and clearer. Witt estimates that he is still five kilometers away from Meinland. He can completely raid in at a low altitude, setting up an enemy's runway while bombing the enemy's air defense fire points.
When the altitude was lowered to 800 meters, Witt stopped to continue lowering the altitude. At this time, Witt was only three kilometers away from Meinland Airport. Witt suddenly turned on the radio and started calling:
"The second group, how far is there to reach the sky above the target."
“There are five kilometers left, and there are five kilometers left.”
The error is two kilometers. Even if the British army here immediately spread the news of the attack to Horn Airport, there is no way to take off in two or three minutes.
"Discard the secondary fuel tank immediately, implement the Tiger and Tiger Plan immediately, implement the Tiger and Tiger Plan immediately."
As soon as Witt finished calling, he immediately gave an order to his group:
"The z2 team immediately attacked the enemy's flight track, the z4 and z5 teams attacked the enemy's tarmac, the z6 and z7 teams followed me to bomb the enemy's ammunition and oil depots, and the z3 team went to understand the enemy's air defense firepower points."
When an air strike at an enemy airport, the first thing to do is to blow out several large pits on the enemy's runway so that all aircraft cannot take off, so that they can slowly destroy the aircraft on the apron.
The British communication duty officer suddenly heard the call in German, and the duty officer did not understand German. The British duty officer couldn't help but curse:
"Mom, why did the Germans come here? They are still using such high-power radios. But there seems to be no Germans in Scapabell!...Boy"
The duty officer thought it was a problem with the equipment, so he reached out and slapped the radio station in front of him. There was a problem with the electrical appliances, and sometimes it would be better after a few slaps. The duty officer seemed to think the same way.
"Buzz...buzz..."
As a result, the duty officer heard a "buzzing" roar. The British duty officer thought that something was wrong with his radio station, so he was preparing to continue to reach out and slap a few times. However, the duty officer found something wrong. The sound was not made by the radio station. He was on duty at the airport every day. He was very familiar with the sound. It was a sound that could only be made by a large group of aircraft flying at low altitudes.
"I didn't say that the organic group came to Menland Airport today!"
The duty officer thought he should go out for a look, but before he could walk out of the room, the explosion of "boom...boom" continued to sound, and violent shaking came from the floor of the house. The prefabricated plates were even pulled out by the vibration.
