Chapter 474： Hateful flares

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

In his eyes, the British completely abandoned them, and they wanted to kill them all so that when they got here, they didn't work, and they had to send planes to bomb them.

In this case, what else is there to say, beating the British fiercely!

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

At this kind of time, of course, there should be no accidents. Who knows if he really wants to participate in the battle or do some damage? The less trouble, the better.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

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

The flares, of course, the higher the better, so as to be able to illuminate a greater distance.

After all, they are only flying according to the scheduled route, and there is pitch black in front of them, and they don't even know where the target is.

Must rely on flares! When the flares are on, the entire sea area will be illuminated, so that the torpedo machine below can find the target and launch an attack!

This kind of attack requires a tacit understanding. After the two planes carrying flares began to climb, the remaining pilots all buckled the goggles in front of their flight caps.

In the dark night, the pupils will be enlarged to adapt to the weak light. At this time, if there is a sudden strong light, it may cause temporary blindness!

In fact, the use of flares is also an attack technique. Even if the opponent is prepared, the flares can temporarily blind the opponent's artillery, and you have plenty of time to throw torpedo attacks, or even fly up and dive.

This is their intended tactic.

"The opponent has two climbing." Here, the radar soldier is highly nervous.

After all, the radar of this era is still very primitive and can only indicate the approximate position of the target. If the radar of later generations is enough to guide the antiaircraft artillery to attack.

But now, the radar can only find the target roughly. Even so, this anomaly has attracted the attention of Colonel Stanger. What's the matter? Why do they climb?

If Colonel Stanger had experience in the Air Force, he could have guessed it at this time and switched roles. If he was a pilot, how would he conduct a night attack?

It is a pity that the German foxes have not conducted a general drill for night operations. They did not know that the danger was approaching.

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

In order to prevent being discovered by the other party, when they learned that there was a plane flying by, the Deutsche Vessel turned off all the lights, and it was dark. Now, the other party's whereabouts are uncertain and start to climb, making Colonel Stanger feel dangerous. They Must be ready to fire!

Air defense at night mainly relies on searchlights. As long as the searchlights reach the target, the high artillery can quickly fire!

However, as long as you turn on the searchlight, you will also expose your goal. If you can pass, it is better to pass.

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

The searchlight has been energized, preheated and turned on at any time. At the rear of the warship, on the 105mm anti-aircraft gun position, the gunner quickly moved the high and low planes, and the barrel of the antiaircraft gun was roughly aimed at the opponent's position, and fired at any time. status.

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

Fire?

"Turn on the searchlight!" At this moment, the command finally arrived.

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

At a height of 2,000 meters, an artificial scorpion sun suddenly emitted a bright light. This light made the whole baking brighter!

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

The light of the flares is different from the searchlight. The searchlight illuminates the sky. When it hits the target, it reflects back. The gunner sees only a small amount of light beams!

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

For example, it's like holding a flashlight. From behind, you won't have any discomfort in your eyes, but no one can stand the flashlight directly with your eyes. )

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

Prepare to torpedo attack!

"Quick spare gunner!" Stange shouted loudly.

An flares completely abolished his high artillery. The high artillery will come back 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 spare gunner? Almost everyone in the gun position had their eyes dazzled!

"I go!" Just then, Bruce on the deck shouted loudly: "My eyes can see clearly!"

Bruce is a pilot. Of course he knows how pilots attack at night. Just before the other party throws the flare, he closed his eyes. Although he wants to remind others, he knows that even if he says it, these people will not believe it. .

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

"I'm here, I can see clearly!" Bruce shouted, replacing the painful high artillery man who was covering his eyes.

Quickly to the high and low planes, Bruce clearly saw the torpedo machine, the closest torpedo machine, was already in the final flight before the torpedo was thrown!

As a fox pilot, Bruce clearly knows the essentials of throwing torpedoes.

Torpedoes are farther away than dive bombing and seem safer, but torpedoes require more skill.

When torpedoes appeared, the use of aircraft to throw torpedoes began. As early as 1917, Britain and Germany both tried to use aircraft to carry ordinary carrier-based torpedoes for launch experiments. By the Second World War, the use of airborne torpedoes had developed into aviation against the sea. The most effective way to attack.

Just to drop torpedoes, there must be a specific way of flying. Two of the key factors are the water entry speed and the water entry angle.
