Question Trying to understand two consecutive bombings

Hi, is it possible to find out the motives/missions for the two consecutive bombings of a little village in the North of France, called "Le Translay" ? It was bombed by the British Air Force (?) on the 26th of January 44 and then on the 13th of February 44. To the population there was nothing worthwile in the village and vicinity to justify the bombings. Is there any no longer confidential information on the subject that could help understand the attacks ?
All I found is this :
Sunday 13th february1944/ tactical operations (Ninth Air Force) 182 B-26s attack V-Weapon sites in the coastal area of France, 16 others bomb secondary targets in the area.

What is the importance of secondary targets ? Was "Le Translay" a secondary target ? Was the name a misunderstanding concerning huge electrical installations ?
(The V-1 site around pas de calais is appr 100km up in the North)
Thanks for your help !!
