Chapter 1381： Doomsday of the Baltic Fleet II (1/2)

Chapter 1381 The end of the Baltic Fleet 2

”Plane No. 12 took off.” The ground crew signaled with the light in their hands, and another bomber was towed to the end of the runway. Then, when the signal to clear the field was given, the huge propeller began to rotate, and the engine roared in the night. It sounded, and as the ground light next to the runway lights up, the bomber began to accelerate like its previous teammates, and then gradually pulled up.

In the air, the shining points of light marked the position of teammates. The signal lights on the nose, tail and wings of the plane kept sending signals, and the bombers began to form in the air like a flock of geese gathered in the head. .

Twenty-five minutes later, the bombers of all 2 squadrons of base 3 had already taken off and formed two huge formations.

”All the planes are in place, the voyage has been calibrated, and we have found the first marker. You can start.” In the captain's cockpit of the First Bomber Squadron, Norman reported to Major General Harrell sitting behind.

”Very well, we are ready to set off. At the same time, we will contact the second and third aircraft groups so that they want to gather in the sea as planned. If they enter the battlefield earlier than the scheduled time, within 20 minutes, they can choose to attack in advance, but attack The goal cannot be changed.” Major General Harrell said.

Compared to the British air strikes against the Earl of Spey’s fleet last time, this time the Bavarian Air Force’s air strike coordination is obviously less difficult, at least in navigation, because after all, this is Europe, with many villages and towns. In the case of night bombing, these illuminated villages and towns are undoubtedly the best landmark indicators... And for today, the Bavarian Air Force did leave a few villages and towns untouched, not only at night, but also during the day... And these surviving Russian villages and towns became the best road signs for the Luftwaffe at night!

The Luftwaffe implements a gradual navigation method. It selects several navigation points on the voyage. After arriving at the first navigation point, confirms the direction against the map, compass, radio signal and landmarks and then flies to the second target, and then repeats. This process until the final goal is reached. In this case, even if there are some errors, they can be corrected as soon as possible.

”I see the Port of Riga!” When the sun rose, the K-6 bombers of the first and second bomber squadrons directly under Major General Harar finally reached the last landmark! In order to prevent the Russians from having an early warning, the entire fleet flew over from the periphery of the port of Riga, and the height and direction were well controlled. The entire fleet was flying with its back against the sun. After entering the sea, the altitude was further lowered. In this case, the German bomber group in the water and sky contact area would be difficult to be found. After all, the distance was golden and it was difficult to notice the movement of the bombers. Figure!

”The second and third aircraft groups sent a signal that they will arrive at the meeting point as planned. We are about 15 minutes earlier than normal!”

”The leading aircraft group sent a signal and they found the Russian fleet, almost at the berth last night! Almost the best situation!”

One piece of good news came, so that Harrell felt confident. ”What about the light cruiser squadron of the High Seas Fleet?” the major general thought for a while and asked.

”They have arrived at the entrance of the Irbe Strait and arrived at the battlefield in 90 minutes at most! If nothing else, it should be after we have completed our attack on the main target!” A few minutes later, after contacting the High Seas Fleet, the plane Long said.

”Very well, send a message to the headquarters, saying that the thunder is coming!” Harrell let out a sigh of relief, and then he looked in the direction of 2 o'clock, which is the largest fleet in Russia, the Baltic Fleet. Parking area!
