Midnight-
Agreed, but we were not lucky, as the mission was a failure.
Sure we hit the target, but to have ANY effect, the city has to be at 25% or less, and the Depot would have to be less. we were able to do neither with 6 bombers (2 flights) at each location.
In order to do the job right, you need 4 flights of bombers (12 planes) per target. 2 as primary bombers, and 2 as clean/up secondary bombers to be used if one of the main is shot down.
Bottom line is this sort of attack requires to much effort for too little reward. Coordination of the attack is very difficult, and the timing must be perfect to make it even worthwhile.
