The Third Reich

Chapter 1185: Antiaircraft gun deployment

The battle belonging to Stuka was over. It made two interceptions and killed three bombers. This result is enough for everyone to be proud of. It achieved such a record at night without airborne radar. , Enough to excite all naval aviation, and now, Stuka's fuel has been almost consumed, it needs to return.

Those bombers that jumped to the low altitude could not find their tracks for the time being. Franz circled in the airspace and finally began to return.

Even on land, taking off and landing at night is full of risks, not to mention now, landing on an aircraft carrier at night is even more dangerous. According to the guidance of the radio navigation, Franz returned to the aircraft carrier correctly. At this time, the deck lights had been lit on the aircraft carrier. From a distance, it looked like a city floating on the sea.

Franz's eyes looked at the signal light at the end of the deck. It was the latest optical descent aid developed by German technicians, code-named Cyric's Eye.

It is said that this is designed under the proposal of the head of Cyric, and the principle is quite clever.

In the past, the landing of naval aviation was entirely dependent on its own superb flying technology. As the speed of the aircraft continues to increase, the pilot’s own technology may not be able to ensure safety.

Therefore, the navies of various countries now select some full-time guides to use signal flags to guide aircraft landing on the aircraft carrier deck. This requires the instructor to have both rich command experience and strong visual inspection ability.

However, Führer Cyric took a different approach. It is said that he was inspired by his wife Hannah's action in the morning when she put on lipstick in the mirror, and designed an early optical descending mirror. It is a large-curvature reflector. The light at the stern of the ship is directed towards the mirror and then reflected into the air. It provides the pilot with a light descending slope. The pilot follows this **** and corrects the error by the position of the aircraft in the mirror until Landed safely.

The specific principle is somewhat convoluted. This is a light box. The middle section is an orange beam, which turns into yellow and red beams upwards and downwards. There are horizontal green reference fixed lights on both sides of the middle section. When the altitude and glide angle of the carrier-based aircraft are correct, the pilot can see that the orange light ball is in the center of the green reference light. Maintaining this angle can accurately land the ship. If the pilot sees a yellow light ball and is above the green reference light, he must lower his altitude; if he sees a red light ball and is under the green reference light, he must raise immediately, otherwise he will hit the tail of the aircraft carrier The end of the column may drop into the sea behind the tail.

But now at night, even the guide on the deck can't accurately guide the take-off and landing of the aircraft, and it depends even more on this set of optical equipment.

Franz, who has extensive experience, has a fairly standard glide line. The signal lights on his nose draw a graceful arc. Just when the plane flies over the end of the deck, the front landing gear is in close contact with the deck. .

The propeller plane does not need a blocking cable. His plane only needs to land on the deck, slow down and roll forward for a certain distance, and then it can stop, and the landing distance is only more than 100 meters.

Franz stepped on the brakes lightly, and the Stuka bomber slid forward on the deck for a certain distance, and stopped steadily. The deck crew surrounded them, and the machine gunner in the back seat proudly shouted: "Me too. We shot down one plane, we shot down three in total!"

The whole deck was boiling.

The radar soldiers on the bridge were still holding on. On his radar screen, three bright spots appeared again. The Soviet bombers were actually divided into three batches?

However, no matter how many planes come, they will inevitably pay a painful price in front of one's own air defense system!

East Prussia, Danzig region.

The sea hit the shore, making a rustling sound. It was a normal night. The quiet moonlight shone on the coastline and the beach.

At this time, on the beach, a hurried troop spread out here quickly.

According to the news notified by the navy, from the Baltic Sea to Berlin, this is the place where the opponent's route must pass. Therefore, the anti-aircraft artillery unit of the Luftwaffe must set up an ambush here!

They are all 8-wheel drive off-road heavy trucks, which are improved from the all-wheel drive chassis of Ford trucks. Now, around this heavy truck, the hydraulic outriggers are quickly released to support the entire heavy truck firmly. Above the truck, a number of antiaircraft guns shook quickly, pointing in the direction of the threat.

This is a mixed anti-aircraft artillery unit, with only a few 88mm antiaircraft artillery, most of which are 40-round Bofors antiaircraft artillery. This antiaircraft artillery has a terrible rate of fire and is the most important weapon for attacking the enemy.

At the same time, there is a large searchlight in the center of each antiaircraft artillery company.

Judging from this arrangement, this kind of night anti-aircraft artillery unit seems to be no different from history. It uses searchlights to indicate the target. After the searchlight finds the target, all the antiaircraft artillery will fire together and knock down the aircraft.

But there are also differences. For example, one kilometer away, there is a vehicle with a large antenna. The vehicle is rapidly unfolding. With the roar of the generator car on the side, the antenna has begun to rotate.

Although Germany's electronic technology is developing rapidly, and it has not violated the development trajectory of radio, they are still unable to create a fully automatic weapon that allows the antiaircraft artillery to be linked with the radar, and the antiaircraft artillery can hit wherever the radar sweeps.

But they already have very high-precision radar equipment. It is absolutely no problem for the radar equipment to indicate the target position and let the searchlight find the target at once.

Now, the other firepower units are preparing nervously, and the radar soldiers are already working nervously.

The electronic equipment is working ~www.novelhall.com~ The cooling fan makes a rumbling sound. The weather is still relatively cold, and the radar soldier’s forehead is constantly sweating.

He is still looking at the screen. He is the first person to find the target. His task is very difficult.

Of course, he is not the only one who undertakes such a task. In order to prevent the enemy from penetrating from a low altitude and causing his own radar to fail to respond, the air defense force also sent a large number of personnel to observe in the sky with their own eyes and listen to the aircraft. The sound of flying by.

There are such watchmen on the coast and even dozens of kilometers offshore. In this era, using human eyes to detect enemy aircraft is also the most correct way to deal with it, such as the historical London air battle. Britain relies on a large number of such watchers.

But now, without them having to wait too long, bright spots have appeared on the radar screen, and those enemy planes really appeared on the correct heading!

Due to the limited range of the DB-3 bombers of the Soviet naval aviation, they had to fly in a straight line. More than an hour ago, a flare suddenly appeared above their heads, and even caused them to collide.

However, under the command of the determined Colonel Yekinni, they did not change their course and were still flying according to the established plan. The result surprised them. They did not encounter any interception, except for the plane that collided. Apart from that, the other airplanes are kept intact.

What exactly is going on? Is that flare a flash of lightning? Just an accident?

Everyone has doubts in their hearts, but now they have no time to doubt. The long flight has made them extremely exhausted, but they still have to work hard, because they have already entered the land. ()
