Flying in formation in the dark night sky is not an easy task. If it is during the day, the pilot can use his sight to adjust his flight speed and altitude, as well as the distance to other surrounding aircraft. But at night, the line of sight is very blurry, and keeping flying formations is a technology worth studying.

The first is the best technical navigator. They have to fly in front of the entire bomber formation in a three-machine formation. Then there are more planes, using three-plane formations to follow behind the three planes. The remaining planes extend to both sides on this central axis to form a larger triangular flight formation. Such a huge formation is to keep their respective aircraft from falling apart in the night sky, and when they fly closer to the Norwegian coastline, they are divided into several formations, and at the same time attack the entire Norwegian steel processing enterprises and mining enterprises.

In the dark, a b-17 bomber followed by a turbulent airstream. In order to carry as much fuel as possible, these aircraft are only loaded with a small amount of aerial bombs, and the excess load is carried with fuel, so that these aircraft can return to the Icelandic naval base.

The pilots drove their planes nervously, maintaining their flying attitude in a huge formation. Because they only need to follow the pilot aircraft, most people don't care about their flight direction. They just need to concentrate on controlling the aircraft and maintain the relative position with other aircraft.

These planes are loaded with large-caliber self-defense cannons, and the numerous barrels make these planes look like dense hedgehogs. When flying in intensive flight formations, they can effectively respond to the threat of German aircraft. This is also the main reason for the US military ’s determination to bomb Norway. They have full confidence in these modified bombers.

The roar of the engine appeared monotonous and obvious in such a quiet and dark night sky, and almost no one spoke, because they knew that what was waiting for them must be the German gunfire. It was a test of life and death, and it would test whether all people would be pityed by the goddess of destiny.

"Keep heading!" The pilot in the pilot's bomber used a compass and a chart to look up and said to a senior pilot who strictly controlled the flight speed of the aircraft: "We will arrive over Norway in 35 minutes."

On the turbulent sea, on the command tower of a German submarine, a sailor in a leather trench coat looked up at the starry sky, because the waves could not hear the sound of the aircraft engine, but the warning lights on the planes that kept the distance, he See clearly with the telescope.

"We found the target! Immediately pass this information back to the Norwegian headquarters! Hurry!" The on-duty chief yelled to the noncommissioned officers around him. The waves beat the control tower and splashed a cold splash of water. Shuihua hit the sergeant's face with a trace of cold.

"This is Submarine U-240! We have found planes! A lot of planes! They are flying in the direction of Norway! Repeat! Here is Submarine U-240, which has found a lot of American aircraft! Heading to Norway! Heading to Norway!" The telegrapher frantically sent the password message, hoping to send everything he found to his headquarters as quickly as possible.

In the Temporary Air Defense Command of Norway, a naval liaison officer snatched the message code that was just ripped off from the telegraph operator and rushed to the code translation room on the side. The translator there The emergency information was translated as quickly as possible.

Then the naval liaison officer ran frantically to Admiral Catherine and Commander Kleist of the i Group Army: "Target discovered! Submarine u-240 found the target!"

"Quickly mark their location! Immediately!" Catherine hurriedly ordered loudly. Not far behind him, a female sergeant holding a huge putt was neatly marked with a red marker and stuck to the map next to the location of submarine U-240.

"The Americans are approaching the Norwegian coast! They will reach our core air defense position in 20 minutes." Catherine looked at the map and inferred the speed and route of the American bomber: "If it is daytime, we are now It is already possible to take off the fighter jet and start intercepting. Unfortunately, it is now night and there is still a long time to go before the day. "

General Krest held his hands behind his back and listened to Catherine, a professional Air Force commander, analyzing the possible movements of the enemy, and asked, "Are the Air Force anti-aircraft artillery units deployed? Can we disperse the bombs over the protected area?" Enemy plane? "

"Relying on air defense firepower alone is not the way ... What we can do now is to pray that our night fighter unit can achieve a better record!" Catherine glanced at General Kleist and answered his question: " This is their first large-scale dispatch, and we hope that our previous huge investment will not be in vain! "

After Catherine finished speaking, she asked General Kleist again: "In air defense, I have tried my best to do my best. Now my biggest question is how Americans are in such a dark mountainous place like Sweden Under the environment, find the ground target they bombed! "

Kleist was also worried about this matter. His troops had been fully mobilized. Hundreds and thousands of Germans were looking for anything suspicious in the dark mountain forest. In order to be foolproof, he even dispatched helicopters and A small number of special forces assigned to him.

If you want to indicate the target for high-altitude bombing, the only method you can use now is to light a fire or provide lighting. As long as the other party is prevented from doing this, the effect of the bombing will be greatly reduced, or even completely lose their goals.

...

Just as General Krest called again to urge his ground forces to search suspicious areas as intensively as possible, a German helicopter on the edge of the mountain was quickly passing through a dense forest. This is the second time it has passed this woodland. The searchlights found nothing here last time.

But this time it apparently found something, so after passing the woodland, it turned its nose again and flew back quickly. The huge searchlight swept back and forth on the ground, hoping to be met by the suspicious spot that had just been reflected.

"There are suspicious objects below! Lower the altitude! Lower the altitude!" The soldiers who controlled the searchlights on the helicopter loudly reminded the companion who operated the machine gun to aim at the precision camouflage cabin, and the pilot began to slow after hearing the radio reminder The height of the descending aircraft.

Not far away, the sound of the barking of the wolf dog came, and a group of nearby German patrols quickly arrived. The radio soldier carrying the radio informed the nearby friendly forces, and the atmosphere was tense at once. After all, this was what they found The first suspicious building.

"Boo!" In a small cabin similar to that with a lid on the trench, there was a gunshot suddenly, the bullet hit the helicopter, and a spark was splashed. The huge searchlight was shattered, and the machine gunner on the side pulled the trigger under his finger without thinking.

"Suddenly! Suddenly!" The machine gun slammed violently, dense bullets hit the hidden roof of the house, and the dead branches and leaves scattered on the roof were hit by huge forces. For a while the sound of cracked wooden boards masked the screams of the people inside.

The German patrol in the distance had also arrived. They carried the rifle under the cover of the machine gun and approached the room. Then the machine gun suddenly ceased fire. They seized the time and entered the house from the disguised potholes around. There were three or five corpses in casual clothes lying next to them, surrounded by scattered English Lee Enfield rifles.

Fortunately, the Germans also found several barrels of gasoline in the storage groove dug in the pit wall, and none of them were ignited by the machine gun fired from the helicopter. Obviously these people intend to use these few barrels of gasoline to indicate ground targets to US bomber forces.

"Report now! Say we have found some armed saboteurs hiding around the mine!" An officer headed shouted at the signal soldiers: "Quick! Notify the headquarters! Let them focus on searching the mountain woodland for concealment!"

"Woo ... Woo ..." The rough iron ore processing plant in the distance sounded a fierce air defense alarm, and the radio horn in the plant repeatedly played orders asking all personnel to turn off the lights. Martial law has begun, and all areas, including cities, must be powered off and turned off to prevent detection by US aircraft.

"Quick! Time is running out! Let all troops be more vigilant!" The officer heard the air defense warning sounded in the distance and knew that the US aircraft was approaching the airspace near Norway. So he gave his order while raising his head, his deep eyes looked at the sky.

At this moment, when everything had to be silenced as the air defense alarm went off, a gunshot suddenly came from all directions. The saboteurs hidden in the dark finally launched their deadly attack.

The officer of the National Defense Force looked into the distance in surprise, and now he only knew how large-scale sabotage was tonight. Hearing the intensive gunfire, he drew the pistol from his waist, and then glanced at his subordinates: "Immediately approach the martial law area! Encounter any suspicious elements, fire directly!"

After giving the order, he quickly moved to the place where the gunshot was most concentrated, opened the branches around him, and walked into the jungle. Behind him, the German Wehrmacht soldiers with rifles carefully followed not far behind him. The helicopter that had lost its searchlights rose to a safe height and returned to the base for repair.
