Destroying the Sun Chapter 103 Bombing

. "Everyone, please pay attention! I have informed the Army about the situation here, and now we can attack the Japanese soldiers freely! Repeat, now we will attack freely! Hamburg No. 2, follow me, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 in the air standby!"

While sending attack orders to his team members through the squad channel, Sinkewitz aimed the signal gun that had just been equipped with a blue signal flare outside the cabin.

"Hamburg No. 2, launch flares! Launch flares! I will use blue flares to indicate the enemy's position! Follow the blue flares to attack!"

"clear!"

The sound coming from the headphones is simple and firm.

Two seconds later, another flare appeared in the air more than 200 meters. From the perspective of Sinkwitz, there were shadows on the ground, which were woods, hills or ponds, but that was no longer important. What was important was that he saw hundreds of cavalry gathered near a shadow through the light of the lighting.

"It's you!" Sinkwitz said silently in his mind. In his mind, the next thing became very formulaic. Find the best dive angle, enter the small-angle dive state, determine the best bomb drop point, drop the bomb, and pull it up.

Sinkwitz pushed the joystick. When bombing at night, they usually do not perform large-angle dive bombing like during the day, not only because the visual effect is very limited, but also because diving when the ground is not visible will cause a huge psychological burden on the pilot.

Sinkwitz glanced at the angle indicator on the left from the corner of his eye. The plane's flight angle quickly changed from horizontal to negative 15, and then quickly pointed to negative 45 degrees almost every second.

This is the angle that Sinkwitz wants.

Except for the row of signal flares flying to the highest point, it was still pitch black. Sinkwitz calmed down and listened carefully. Although the roar of the engine overshadowed other sounds, when there was no trace of distraction in his heart, Sinkwitz was sure that he could hear a lot.

Machine guns, the sound of rifles firing, the sound of grenades explosion, the command of officers to greet soldiers, and the shouts made by fear, Sinkwitz listened quietly, and swept the altimeter from the corner of his eyes at the right time, 700 meters...650 meters...600 meters...550 meters...500 meters...

300 meters is the best height for Sinkwitz to drop a bomb at 45 degrees in training, but at this night when the visual distance is almost zero, he raised this height by 400 meters. At the moment when the altimeter pointer passed by 400, Sinkwitz pressed the bomb drop button.

Pull up and turn, after Sinkwitz completed this series of actions, the outside world was suddenly illuminated by an orange-yellow light. He turned around and found his own results under the three tall fireballs - huge craters, cavalrymen who were undulating and fleeing not far away.

Three high-explosive aviation bombs specifically used for ground bombing, 450 kg + 75 kg + 75 kg. The latest works of Junckers Design Studio show amazing strength in terms of bomb load capacity. Whether it is the Japanese surface ship or the land infantry, when encountering a carrier-based bomber like the German army, they will be frightened by the opponent's local bombshell.

Because it was not a high-angle dive, Sinkwitz felt very relaxed when pulling off the plane.

This gave him every time he could fire a signal flare at the rear of the plane. This blue signal flare will guide Wingman No. 2, which then entered the dive state, to conduct ground bombing.

About half a minute after the first explosion sounded from the ground, another explosion sounded. At this time, Sinkwitz opened his eyes wide and stared at the messy battlefield. The reason for the mess was that many remaining fires left by bombs could be seen on the ground with black as the background. From the air, it seemed that they were the size of a match head.

Although I could not experience the chaos on the ground personally, Sinkwitz thought that it must be as full of uncertainty as night air combat. Perhaps a soldier with good quality fired dozens of shots but failed to hit the target, but was knocked down by a bullet that flew from nowhere.

"Hamburg No. 2 has been dropped! Lieutenant, the effect looks good!"

The sound in the headphones is a bit joyful.

"Very good, No. 3 and No. 4, it's time for you to get on! No. 5 will continue to stand by!"

After giving the order, Sinkwitz did not pull up the glass hatch that was somewhat obstructing his vision. The cold wind had already made his face a little numb. Despite this, he stuck his head out of the cabin again. The oncoming wind instantly blew his already messy hair into a weedy shape, but Sinkwitz didn't care about it. Under his gaze, the other two Junkers ju-iifs completed the dive bombing in a similar way. Perhaps the night bombing of the entire team was much more lethal than the two Messerschmitts during the day, but their role in the entire battle situation was much beyond people's expectations.

Soon, after receiving the army's request, other aircraft that took off from the "Alsace" in time gathered here. Several reconnaissance sky x-lk continued to hover almost close to the ground with their advanced equipment. Other fighters and dive bombers were ordered to come to the ground were not idle. They kept using flares to find traces of the Japanese army, and whenever they had the opportunity, they attacked the other side without mercy. The desolate wilderness was stirred up by two groups of uninvited guests.

The next morning, the Japanese Army Base Camp moved to Kofu received a report that the 22nd Special Brigade of the North Korean commander, commanded by Yamaguchi Mitsukoshi, was attacked by German airstrikes during the march toward the destination. Yamaguchi Mitsukoshi cavalry had to return in disappointment and leave their surrounded troops to the Germans and the Korean guerrillas.
