Bruce's sense of battle was strong, as he was stimulated again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In his eyes, the British have completely abandoned them, and moreover, they want to kill them all! Even if they get here, it's not enough, they still have to send planes to bomb it.

In that case, then what else is there to say, beat the British hard!

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

At such a time, of course, there can be no accidents, and who knows if he really wants to participate in the battle, or if he wants to do some kind of sabotage? Let a sleeping dog lie.

Ten minutes passed.

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

The higher the flare, of course, the better, so that it can illuminate the longer distance.

After all, they are now just flying according to the predetermined route, and in front of them, it is pitch black, and they simply do not know where the target is.

You have to rely on flares! When the flares are lit, the entire sea area will be illuminated, so that the torpedo machine below can find the target and attack!

This kind of attack requires quite tacit cooperation, and after the two planes carrying flares began to climb, the rest of the pilots fastened the goggles in front of their flight caps.

In the dark, the pupils dilate to adjust to the faint light, and at this time, if there is a sudden bright light, it can cause the person to go blind temporarily!

In fact, the use of flares, which is also a technique of attack, even if the opponent is on guard, flares can temporarily blind the opponent's anti-aircraft gunner, and your own side has enough time to throw torpedoes to attack, or even fly up and dive to drop bombs.

This is their predetermined tactic.

"There are two planes on the other side climbing." Here, the radar soldiers are highly nervous.

After all, the radar of this era was still very primitive, and it could only indicate the general direction of the target, and if the radar of later generations was enough to guide the anti-aircraft artillery to attack.

And now, the radar can only roughly detect the target, and even then, this anomaly, has already attracted the attention of Colonel Stanger, what's going on? Why do they climb?

If Colonel Stanger had experience in the Air Force, he would have been able to guess at this time, swapping roles, if he was a pilot, how would he conduct a night attack?

It is a pity that the German navy has not yet conducted a large-scale exercise of night operations, and they do not know that danger is approaching.

"Order, 105-mm anti-aircraft guns, ready to aim at the climbing aircraft. Searchlight, ready to turn on. Colonel Stange said.

In order to avoid being discovered by the other side, when it learned that a plane was flying, the Deutschland turned off all the lights, and it was dark, and now, the other party's whereabouts were uncertain, and they actually began to climb, so that Colonel Stanger felt that it was dangerous, and they had to prepare to fire!

Air defense at night mainly relies on searchlights, as long as the searchlights shine on the target, the anti-aircraft gunners can quickly open fire!

It's just that as soon as you turn on the searchlight, you also expose your target, and if you can get through, it's better to get past it.

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

The searchlight has been energized, warmed up, and is on at any time, and in the tail of the warship, on the 105-mm anti-aircraft gun emplacement, the gunner quickly shakes the high and low machine, and has already aimed the barrel of the anti-aircraft gun roughly at the position of the opponent, and is in a state of fire at any time.

The gunners looked at the dark sky, and 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 searchlights!" It was then that the order finally arrived.

The moment the searchlight was lit, the whole sky suddenly brightened!

At an altitude of two thousand meters, a small artificial sun suddenly emitted a bright light, and this light made the entire sea surface brighten!

"Damn it, my eyes!" He had just been staring at the pitch-black sky overhead, but now it suddenly became extremely bright, and in an instant, the gunner's eyes were burned and he couldn't see anything!

The light of the flare is different from the searchlight, which shines on the sky, and when it hits the target, it is reflected back, and what the gunner sees is only a small number of beams!

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

(For example, it's like holding a flashlight, and if you look at it from behind, you won't have any discomfort in your eyes, but you can't stand it if you put your eyes directly on the flashlight.) ）

The entire night sky was lit up, and the Deutsche on the sea surface was exposed to this light, and at this moment, those Swordfish planes below accurately found the target, adjusted their course, and flew over quickly!

Prepare for a torpedo attack!

"Quick, spare gunner!" Stange shouted loudly.

A flare that wiped out all his anti-aircraft gunners! Maybe the anti-aircraft gunner will slow down after a while and see the target again, but this short time is fatal!

Spare gunner! But where to find a spare gunner at such a time? Almost everyone on the gun emplacement, their eyes were shaken!

"I'm on!" At that moment, Bruce, who was on deck, shouted, "My eyes can see!" ”

Bruce was a pilot, of course he knew how the pilots attacked at night, he closed his eyes just before the other side threw flares, although he wanted to warn the others, but he knew that even if he said it now, these people would not believe it.

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

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

Quickly shaking the high and low planes, Bruce clearly saw that the closest torpedo plane on the surface of the sea was already making its last flight before throwing torpedoes!

As a Navy pilot, Bruce knew exactly what it took to throw a torpedo.

Torpedoes seem to be safer than dive bombing, which is farther away than dive bombing, but throwing torpedoes requires more skill.

As early as 1917, Britain and Germany both tried to use aircraft to carry ordinary shipborne torpedoes for delivery experiments, and by the time of World War II, the use of airborne torpedoes had developed into the most effective way for aviation to attack the sea.

It's just that if you want to drop a torpedo, you have to fly in a certain way. Two of the key factors are the speed of entry and the angle of entry.
