Chapter 1075: Night has come

Chapter 1075 The Night Has Arrived

"Know? This is the first time I hate the Air Force!" A soldier in Russian uniform cursed and drove a four-wheeled carriage into the nearby grove.

"Hurry up, now those guys flying in the air don’t know if you are German or Russian. Now the Russian Air Force has almost collapsed. These winged guys are crazy! Like wolves, they don’t know how to control. , You will never finish without gnawing what you see." The colleague next to him said jokingly while helping.

The surface of this Russian-standard four-wheeled carriage was filled with grain, while three MG machine guns and tens of thousands of bullets were hidden underneath. The car behind was loaded with mortars and shells, and the last car was loaded with explosives and detonators. There are 12 vehicles in the entire convoy, 7 of which are equipped with weapons and ammunition that the team needs to carry. The other 5 cars are loaded with grain, water and grass fodder.

As the commander of the entire squad, Captain Smadden took these things to run so far, not just to kill a few Russians and it would be done. He had big plans. When the subordinates transferred vehicles into the woods, watching the planes roaring in the sky, he thoughtfully wrote down something in his notebook.

"Head, this is the exact location of several military stations in Russia. Which one shall we do tonight?" A big man with scars on his face came over and handed over a marked map.

"We tonight..." After roughly scanning the map, Smadden said, "We don't move anything. These places have limited meaning. We can blow them up with mortars, and the Air Force can also use bombs. ."

"I currently think this No. 3 stone bridge is a very good target. Of course, they will not be removed until we have passed." The captain said with his finger at a bridge highlighted on the map.

"The air force is not omnipotent. There are a large number of machine guns around this stone bridge with anti-aircraft firepower. Although it is difficult to shoot down those bombers, it is still possible to force them to increase their bombing height. You know the accuracy of these bombers. You can drop bombs above 2000 meters. If it does, you can only expect it to hit a target as big as a village. At this time, we need to do it," the captain said.

"This goal? Even if we light up all the mortar shells, we can't kill it. This structure is very strong, unless we carry a 150MM heavy howitzer." Lieutenant Wright shook his head and said.

"We can use explosives," the captain said.

"The key is that we can't get close. In order to keep the road unobstructed, the Russians arranged a military police 1 kilometer away. They will carefully check every car. All vehicles pass through the bridge, and most of the people are from the side. It is recommended to pass on the pontoon. Even if we choose to attack at night, it is impossible. They arranged the searchlights. Going from the land is tantamount to killing. At least 40 machine guns are deployed around. We can't rush through." Scar. Lieutenant Face said the same.

"The more important thing is that the explosives are effective when placed on the pier, but how can we get to the pier?"

"By the way, those pontoons that pass people have not been attacked?" the captain asked.

"Naturally, they were not within the defense range of the machine gun fire, so they were often strafed. The 12.7MM machine gun was very powerful. When using incendiary bombs, the damage to the wooden pontoons was very effective. So the Russians were ready by the side. The wooden boat and planks are ready to be repaired at any time," said Lieutenant Wright.

"Then how many kilograms of explosives do we need to blow up, this stone bridge?" the captain asked.

"If the bridge deck is damaged, forget it. Even if a part of it can be blown off, the Russians can quickly repair it. If it is a bridge pier, find two suitable locations. Each 50KG explosive should be about the same. If our data is correct."

"Okay, that's enough. I will put forward the plan later, and then we will discuss it. If it works, we will act tonight!" the captain said. However, what the captain did not expect was that his actions unintentionally set a new world record. At the same time, at a distance of 200 kilometers from here, a team of specially improved K-4 bombers are making final preparations. These are the first bombers equipped with radio navigation equipment in the world. The night mission was the first night bombing of the Luftwaffe.

"Our bombs can hardly hit the stone bridge even in the daytime, not to mention at night, so our main task is to attack the five pontoon bridges next to the stone bridge." Captain Myers said to the pilot under him. This time the attack is actually more experimental than actual combat. After all, the distance of 400 kilometers back and forth has greatly reduced the amount of bombs carried by the K-4 bomber, and then bombs are used when the visibility is very poor? Well, Miles thought it might be better to use a machine gun, so he didn't have too many requirements for the effect of this night attack. In his opinion, the plane can fly over and then fly back is a victory.

However, Captain Myers still made serious preparations. Because the target was a wooden pontoon, he carried a large number of small incendiary bombs, and was equipped with special flares. The number of tracers for the machine gun was also sufficient, and some planes also tried. A searchlight is installed under the nose.

The so-called navigation of this night bomber, known as the K-4N bomber, is actually a passive radio receiving and positioning device~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Germans set up 2 radio transmitting base stations at 2 bases, and then Install radio receiving and positioning devices on the aircraft. The radio receiver can then determine the position of the aircraft by receiving signals from the two transmitting base stations. Then determine your direction according to the signs on the ground (such as the lights of the town).

"To be honest, after I received this order, I even thought that it was something that a big guy in the Air Force came up with after drinking too much. They might think that we are too idle, so they changed the law to find something for us!" The captain once wrote this in his diary. (In fact, night bombing took place a long time ago. Russian Ilya bombers carried out the first night bombing in human history not long after the start of World War I. In the later Operation Albion, the Luftwaffe There was also a night bombing of the Gulf of Riga.)

So, in a rather coincidental situation, the Cougar team and the first night bomber unit of the Luftwaffe conducted an unexpected joint operation. Although there is no direct contact between each other, but at a certain time, the two sides attacked at the same time still caused confusion in the Russian army.
