The bombers that invaded French airspace were devastated, and at the same time, the bombers troops flying to Berlin had just flew over Dutch airspace.

Squadron leader Craig Brown, flying his own bomber, sailing directly in front of them, and they had been flying for more than an hour.

"Captain, we received a message from London that our other unit was intercepted by the Germans." A voice came from the headphones.

He was intercepted by the Germans! Originally, they were asked to be bait. After all, according to their ideas, the Germans' night fighter troops were not good. If the Germans intercepted in Paris, the pressure on their own side would be greatly reduced.

"Now, don't worry about anything else, focus on our combat missions," Craig said.

At this time, their bombers were flying at an altitude of 7,500 meters, and at this altitude, they could have a larger range.

They faced many difficulties in this bombing mission. They must pay attention to fuel consumption at all times. They must fly according to the correct route. If there is a slight mistake, they will not be able to complete the bombing operation.

Only by throwing the bomb over Berlin can London give the greatest confidence and inspire the British people. Their task is very arduous!

At this time, the navigator in front of the nose was the most nervous. When they had just flew over the Netherlands, they successfully found a big city below and corrected their course. Now, they have only been halfway through the long distance.

"Finished, found!" the navigator suddenly shouted, and in his headphones, he heard the sound of Berlin Radio. At this time, the speech of Germany's propaganda minister Goebbels was playing inside, and he shouted loudly that he would launch an extinct blow to Britain and his determination to land in Britain.

When the radio sound was heard, the navigator finally relaxed.

When the British radio navigation technology could not reach its practical stage, the current navigation method was an opportunistic but very normal way.

It is to use the other party’s radio broadcast! As long as you receive the other party’s radio broadcast signal and the signal strength becomes larger and larger, there is no problem. You must be flying towards the target!

In later generations, when the islanders attacked Pearl Harbor, they also took this trick. By receiving radio signals from Hawaii, they determined the target position.

Once the signal is found, there is no problem, fly towards the target!

The navigator relaxed and marked the navigation chart. This straight line will extend to Berlin!

The flight continued, and the cross Blenheim bombers formed a formation at high altitude. At this time, there were already sparse starlight. Among the starlight, the plane continued to fly forward and fly.

Time passed by little by little, and after an hour continued, the navigator finally felt something was wrong.

They have been flying for more than two hours in a row. This long-distance flight is a huge test for everyone's spirit and physical strength! Although they have already rested during the day, and before they set off, they have to meet Prime Minister Churchill, who inspired them.

But now, they are exhausted.

"According to the route, the target should be right below us." The navigator said: "But now, there is nothing under us!"

Craig frowned. At this time, he was still wearing an oxygen mask, which made him look even more bloated, and his words changed tone: "So, there is only one situation. Berlin may implement light control."

The brightly luminous Berlin has now implemented light control. It must have been the bomber that attacked Paris by one side, which made the Germans more vigilant!

"No, we can still receive signals from Berlin radio stations in our radio station, and Berlin is still ahead of us!" At this moment, another bomber debate came from a debate: "We should continue flying!"

"How is that possible? We must have arrived over Berlin by the route!" The navigator here immediately retorted.

Inside the radio, the voice of argument came.

"Idiot, we must have encountered a strong wind by following the route. We are likely to be more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers away from the target!"

In this era, navigation is very difficult, and one of the problems is that the plane does not know its own speed.

During flight, the aircraft must know its speed. This speed is measured by airflow, that is, the aircraft measures the speed of relative air.

If the air is also flowing, the speed will change.

What the aircraft needs is ground speed, that is, the speed relative to the ground. If it is flying against the wind, the airspeed is smaller than the ground speed. Especially after a long flight, the accumulated error will be even greater!

This error was not until later, in about 43 years, when Germany used a radar device to accurately measure the ground speed. That's right, this technology was also the first invented by Germany.

And now, the British have to face the fact that they have already gone to the fore!

what to do?

If you believe in the instrument completely, then Berlin should be right below. They need to lower the altitude, hover around, strive to discover Berlin in an effort, and then launch a bombing.

If they believe in Berlin's radio broadcast, they should continue to fly forward, Berlin is still ahead of their route!

What to do? At this time, Craig's judgment ability was completely tested, and Craig almost gave an order after thinking a little.

The aircraft group was divided into two groups, one team, continued to fly, and the other team, hovered and descended!

This perfectly fits the British thinking. Since it is impossible to be sure, then just act separately!

You know, these ten bombers alone cannot blow Berlin upside down. The most important thing about their bombing this time is a symbolic meaning. They are telling the British people that they have the ability to launch a counterattack against Germany in order to boost morale!

And now, if they fail to complete the task, it will be a heavy blow to morale. It is precisely for this reason that Churchill will come to cheer them up in person.

They can't fail!

Therefore, they had to act separately. Even if only one bomber found Berlin, it was their victory. Even if only one bomb was dropped, they would succeed!

The bomber squadron immediately executed Craig's order.

Craig did not continue to fly forward. He believed that his navigator seemed to be in the dark. He already had a premonition that Berlin was below!

Then, next, he will circle here with four bombers!

How high should it be reduced to? Now, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. As long as it is reduced to a height of about 500 meters, he will definitely be able to see clearly.

Even if he was hit by anti-aircraft guns, he would throw the bomb over Berlin!

Five bombers were hovering nearby, circling and lowering their height downwards.
Chapter completed!
