Chapter 1401, Closed Loop Bombing(1/5)
Three o'clock in the morning.
Hankou Airport.
A Martin 139WC bomber took off on time.
Because it was loaded with too much ammunition, it seemed very bulky and wobbly before it flew with difficulty.
The cabin is filled with all kinds of ammunition. Both original and non-original.
The original one contains four aerial bombs weighing 225 kg.
The non-original ones are 25kg aerial bombs. There are twenty-four of them. They all have safety latches.
Crew of three.
Zhang Yong, McCoy, Tong Yanbo.
Tong Yanbo was temporarily called to be a bombardier. His nature was to capture young men.
Of course, he himself is very happy.
The straight-line distance from Hankou Airport to Jinling is about 450 kilometers. It is completely within the coverage of Martin 139WC.
You can even reduce some of the fuel and free up weight to load additional bombs.
If you are not afraid of metal fatigue, overloading is not a problem.
It is currently in an overloaded state.
This caused the two engines to roar hysterically, as if they were about to strike at any moment.
Flying over Luotian...
Flying over Shucheng...
Arrive above Chaohu Lake.
We are getting closer to Jinling.
The empty map shows a large number of red targets.
There is the Japanese 105mm heavy cannon...
There is a 150mm howitzer…
There are tanks...
There are warships...
Of course, there are also airplanes.
The familiar Daqiaochang Airport is densely populated with aircraft signs.
After checking, I found that there were Type 97 attack aircraft, Type 95 fighter jets, bi-wing ones, and some unknown models.
Generally speaking, the fighter jets of the Japanese Army Air Force were not very outstanding. The only one that was good was the Type 97.
However, this is enough to crush the agricultural country of China.
Although the performance of Type 97 fighter jets is not very good, others can continue to produce them!
Battle losses at the front can be effectively replenished at the rear.
Moreover, the production cost of this Type 97 fighter jet is very low and the efficiency is very high. It can produce large quantities in a short time.
Let's put it this way, as long as the Japanese invaders are willing, there is no problem in producing more than ten aircraft a day. That is three thousand aircraft a year.
Of course it is incomparable to other world powers. But in East Asia, it is a purely dimensionality reduction attack.
I have difficulty choosing.
Which airport was the first to attack the Japanese invaders?
Or should we attack the Japanese invaders' 150mm howitzers first?
I feel that both of these goals are very tempting!
At the same time, on the river near Jinling, there were also battleships of the Japanese navy called Malu.
Although it is a destroyer, it seems to be much more valuable than a fighter jet or something like that.
If we could sink a Japanese warship...
Oops, so confused...
Having too many goals is not a good thing either.
In the end, we decided to attack the airport and destroy the Japanese aircraft.
First eliminate some of the long-range threats of the Japanese invaders. Only in this way can we free up our hands and gain a wider range of activities.
If you run to the northwest and help the Soviets ambush Japanese fighter planes, and then Hankou Airport and Nanchang Airport are attacked by Japanese fighter planes, then you have been stolen from the tower. The gain outweighs the loss.
Jinling Airport, Hangzhou Airport, and Taiwan Island Airport all have to be swept.
Adjust course.
Fly to Daqiaochang Airport.
The distance is getting closer.
50 kilometers…
30 kilometers…
Gradually lower the altitude.
Slow speed also has advantages. It is easy to operate.
8000 meters…
5000 meters…
In good condition.
No searchlight was found.
It was pitch dark at the Daqiaochang Airport. There were no lights.
There may be weak lighting on the ground, but it cannot be seen from high in the sky.
"Prepare to drop bombs."
"yes."
Tong Yanbo agreed.
I looked at the ground through the bombardier and saw nothing.
Before the invention of the Norton bombsight, the hit rate of bombers was very low, especially for high-altitude bombing.
Does the Aerial Map have assisted aim?
Sorry. No.
However, it seems that there is a radar map.
The premise is that the target distance is within 5000 meters.
The map has no clear hints, only a rough dotted range.
Slender and oval. Like a slender olive pit.
Even if the bomb falls, it should be within the dotted line. But there is an error. About 50 meters?
No matter what, just follow the auxiliary aiming and release the bomb.
The air map shows that there are many Japanese aircraft on the ground at the airport, but they are divided into five areas.
Each area is more than a hundred meters apart, with a firebreak in the middle. Obviously, it is unrealistic to bomb all enemy planes at the same time.
The Japanese invaders were not that stupid. Even the National Air Force knew how to place its aircraft in different zones, so of course the Japanese invaders did.
Therefore, you can only choose enemy planes in a certain area to bomb. After bombing, run away.
Worried about some desperate Japanese pilot, he took off in the middle of the night, pursued him, and died together with himself.
The speed of the bomber is too slow. Once it is bitten by a Japanese fighter, it will be a disaster.
The radar map still shows many red dots. They are all Japanese invaders. But it is impossible to tell which ones are pilots.
If we could accurately determine the location of the Japanese pilots and blow them up, the value would be considerable.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell.
If it only hits ordinary Japanese soldiers, it will be of little value.
Continue to lower the height.
2000 meters…
1200 meters…
Then hold on.
To be continued...
