Bruce had a strong sense of war seeking, because he was stimulated again.

In his eyes, the British completely abandoned them and wanted to kill them all! Even if they arrived here, they still had to send planes to blow them up.

Since that's the case, what else can I say? Beat the British hard!

Bruce's attitude had completely changed, but his request was not agreed.

At this time, of course, there should not be any accidents. Who knows whether he really wants to participate in the battle or wants to do something to destroy? It is better to have less than more things.

More than ten minutes passed quickly.

In the formation of the swordfish torpedo aircraft, two swordfish carrying flares left the formation and began to climb upwards.

Of course, the higher the flare, the better, so that it can illuminate a longer distance.

After all, they are now just flying on the scheduled route, and in front of them, it is pitch black, and they have no idea where the target is.

It is necessary to rely on flares! When the flares are lit, the entire sea area will be illuminated. In this way, the torpedo machine below can detect the target and then launch an attack!

This attack requires a very tacit understanding. After the two planes carrying flares began to climb, the rest of the pilots buttoned the goggles in front of their flight caps.

In the dark night, the pupils will be dilated to adapt to the faint light. At this time, if strong light suddenly appears, it may cause temporary blindness!

In fact, using flares is also an attack technique. Even if the opponent is prepared, flares can temporarily blind the opponent's anti-aircraft gunner, so that your side will have enough time to throw torpedo attacks, or even fly up to dive and drop bombs.

This is their scheduled tactic.

"There are two of the opponents climbing." On this side, the radar soldiers were extremely nervous.

After all, the radar of this era is still very primitive and can only indicate the general direction of the target. If the radar of later generations is enough to guide the anti-aircraft guns to attack.

Now, the radar can only roughly detect the target. Even so, this abnormal phenomenon has attracted the attention of Colonel Stanger. What's going on? Why did they climb?

If Colonel Stanger had experience in the Air Force, he could already guess at this time, exchange roles, and if he was a pilot, how should he conduct night attacks?

Unfortunately, the German navy has not conducted major exercises in night combat. They do not know that the danger is approaching.

"Command, 105mm anti-aircraft gun, ready to aim at the climbing aircraft. Searchlight, ready to turn on." Colonel Stanger said.

In order to prevent being discovered by the other party, when they learned that a plane had flew by, the Germans turned off all the lights, and it was dark. Now, the other party was uncertain and began to climb, making Colonel Stanger feel the danger. They must be ready to open fire!

The air defense at night mainly relies on searchlights. As long as the searchlight hits the target, the anti-aircraft gunner can quickly open fire!

However, as soon as you turn on the searchlight, your goals will be exposed. If you can get through it, it is better to get through it.

The night is still silent, and a cruel naval battle is about to begin!

The searchlight has been powered on and preheated and is on at any time. At the tail of the warship, at the 105mm anti-aircraft gun position, the gunner quickly shakes the high and low aircraft, and has roughly aimed the barrel of the anti-aircraft gun at the other party's position, and is in a fire state at any time.

The gunners looked at the dark sky. At this time, they could hear the rumbling sound of the plane engine. The other party was flying towards them!

Open fire?

"On the searchlight!" At this moment, the order finally arrived.

The moment the searchlight was about to light up, the whole sky suddenly became brighter!

At a height of two thousand meters, an artificial sun suddenly emitted a bright light, and this light brightened the entire sea surface!

"Damn it, my eyes!" I was staring at the dark sky above my head, but now it suddenly became extremely bright. In an instant, the gunner's eyes were burned and I could not see anything!

The light of the flare is different from the searchlight. The searchlight shines on the sky. When it comes to the target, it will be reflected back. The gunner sees only a small amount of light beam!

However, the light of the flares was shot directly into the gunner's eyes, and the intensity was many times higher!

The entire night sky was lit up, and the German on the sea was exposed to this light. At this moment, the swordfish planes below accurately found the target, adjusted their course, and flew over quickly!

Prepare for torpedo attack!

"Quick, on the backup gunner!" Stange shouted loudly.

A flare destroyed all his anti-aircraft gunners! The anti-aircraft gunners may recover after a while and see the target again, but this short time is fatal!

Backup gunner! But, at this time, where can I find a backup gunner? Almost everyone in the gun position had their eyes shaken!

"I'm here!" At this moment, Bruce on the deck shouted loudly: "My eyes can see clearly!"

Bruce was a pilot, and of course he knew the pilot's night attack method. He closed his eyes just before the other party threw a flare. Although he wanted to remind others, he knew that even if he said it, these people would not believe it.

He slowly opened his eyes, got used to the light of the flares, and then ran to the position of the 40mm Bofos anti-aircraft gun next to him in a few steps.

"I'll do it, I can see clearly!" Bruce shouted, replacing the anti-aircraft gunner who was covering his eyes in pain.

Shaking the high and low aircraft quickly, Bruce clearly saw the closest torpedo on the sea surface, which was already in its final flight before throwing the torpedo!

As a naval pilot, Bruce knew clearly the key points of throwing torpedoes.

Torpedoes seem to be safer than dive bombing, but throwing them requires more skills.

When the torpedo appeared, the use of aircraft to throw torpedoes began. As early as 1917, both Britain and Germany tried to use aircraft to carry ordinary carrier-based torpedoes for delivery experiments. By the time of World War II, the use of airborne torpedoes had developed into the most effective way for aviation troops to attack seas.
