Chapter 983： Good trip (1/2)

There is only one chance.

On the one hand, after this bombing, the Americans will definitely increase their attention and deploy night fighters and radars. If they want to easily get into the air over American territory again, there will be a certain degree of danger.

On the other hand, after this bombing, if it is not successful, the Americans will definitely move their bases more secretly, making their own bombers more difficult to reach, for example, to the central part of the United States, or even to Alaska, their own bombers. It's beyond reach.

This bombing was decisive and efficient, and it must be a success.

”As long as the ground personnel cooperate in place, we are absolutely fine.” After hearing Bescher's words, the navigator Antonio said.

What is most important in intercontinental flight? Of course it is navigation! In order to perform these bombing missions, Junker-390 has a variety of advanced navigation equipment.

For example, the inertial gyroscope transplanted from the V-2 missile can accurately track the trajectory of the aircraft, thereby marking the position of the aircraft on the aeronautical chart. However, mechanical gyroscopes have errors. As time accumulates, the errors will become larger and larger. Only laser gyroscopes can achieve high accuracy.

Therefore, the inertial gyro must be constantly corrected during the voyage. If it is at night, it can be corrected by starlight, and during the day, it can be corrected by using the known sea islands below.

Antonio is the navigator of Bescher and the navigator of the entire formation. His task is quite heavy. He knows that just relying on the inertial top and the navigation point correction is not enough.

At this time, the cooperation of ground personnel is even more important.

Because German radio navigation technology has also matured, if ground personnel have radio navigation equipment to transmit navigation information in the direction of the bomber's flight, it is easy to give the aircraft the correct guidance.

The superposition of multiple means is sufficient to ensure that the aircraft can fly in the correct direction. As for the bombing effect, it depends on its advanced high-altitude bombing equipment.

Antonio is confident.

”Also, before carrying out the task, the most important thing for us is to ensure adequate rest, to cultivate enough energy, and to wait for the order to come!” Bescher said.

He spoke very seriously, but everyone present smiled. In fact, this command sounds simple, but it is not easy to execute, because at this time, everyone is very excited, and they are so excited. Can't sleep.

Even if they close their eyes, all images appear in their minds. For example, Antonio has been thinking about the navigation problem in the middle of the road, where is the most appropriate place to set the navigation point. After entering the United States, it is already night. , Which city needs to be used as a navigation point along the way, and to prevent mistakes.

Everyone has their own task assignment, and they are all thinking.

At the same time, the ground staff in the base are busy.

To carry out such a transcontinental bombing mission, it is necessary to ensure that the aircraft is in good condition, and all kinds of maintenance work must be in place, and then the fuel is filled and the bombs are hung up. They have done meticulously for six hours before they have completed the maintenance and repair. The task of supply.

After that, just wait.

The wait was not long, and after another four hours, the order to take off came.
