Chapter 1577 Richthofen's Doubts
Berlin, Luftwaffe Command.
Originally, Richthofen stayed in the wolf's lair, where he also had his office, and could even fully perform the functions of the Air Force Command.
But after discovering the Soviet bomber force, he returned to Berlin.
If the Soviets wanted to launch an air strike, Berlin would definitely be the first choice. He had to stay in Berlin to be able to command the front line in person. At the same time, it was also a kind of confidence for him. With him, the bombing by the Soviets would not be successful. !
He will make all Soviet bombings come back in vain!
Richthofen is quite confident. Now, Germany has ten night fighter groups, on the coast of France and the United Kingdom, to guard against American sneak attacks across the sea, to protect the capital near Berlin, and in Belarus and Ukraine. , to guard against the bombing of the Soviets.
It can be said that the surrounding area is tight and airtight. If the Soviets want to come from the east, they will definitely be discovered by their own night fighter troops on the Eastern Front, and then they will be beaten up at night.
Now, Richthofen is strategizing, even if the opponent breaks through the heavy defenses and runs over Berlin to spread wildness, the night fighter troops near Berlin, and the dense anti-aircraft artillery in Berlin will teach the opponent how to behave.
The most effective is that Germany has completed the integration of fire control radar and anti-aircraft artillery. Now that Germany's electronic technology is progressing rapidly, they have begun to equip anti-aircraft artillery with fire control radar.
When the radar finds the target, it solves and shoots Zhu Yuan, and then the anti-aircraft gun can fire against the sky. Compared with the previous mode of using the searchlight to increase the anti-aircraft gun, the improvement is great, and the shooting is more ferocious. If the opponent dares to fly over, You will know that the sky in Berlin is impregnable.
Richthofen was confident, but when an urgent report from Finland came, it left him a little confused.
Germany did not set up large radar stations in Finland. After all, Finland is not the focus at all. Like other servant countries, it plays the role of soy sauce. The Soviet bombers would not go to bomb, and even if they did, they would not bring any losses to the empire.
Therefore, Finland did not find the Soviet bomber flying over, but it listened to suspicious radio communications. When the content of the radio communications was deciphered, Richthofen only felt strange.
The Soviet bomber fleet entered Finnish airspace?
In everyone's impression, the Soviet bombers should have come from the east, even Richthofen is no exception.
The Soviets flew from east to west and over Finland, what was there to bomb with them? Is it to bomb the mines in Sweden? Even if the mines in Sweden are not used, the piles of ore stored by ourselves are enough for a few years.
Should not be ah.
At this time, Richthofen was strange. His eyes were looking at the large-scale map hanging on the wall, and he could not think of the intention of the Soviets.
Moreover, without radar scanning, there would be no specific data on the target, no idea how many there are, and no heading.
Richthofen looked at his watch, it was eleven o'clock at night.
"Pay close attention to their movements." Having said that, Richthofen put on his military coat and walked to a camp bed that was propped up next to him, planning to squint for a while, he was too tired.
From a common sense point of view, Finland is too far away from Germany, and it is impossible for the other party to come around in such a circle.
Maybe it's just one or two Soviet Li-2 small planes, secretly transporting something for the resistance elements behind the enemy. This kind of action should be handed over to those local troops, not under the jurisdiction of our own air force, otherwise the air force will worn out.
After all, night fighters are only suitable for intercepting high-altitude bombers. If a small plane is flying close to the ground, the radar of the night fighter will not be able to detect it at all.
So Richthofen ignored this information.
In the sky, the bomber formation continued to fly south, and they flew over Finnish airspace, across the Baltic Sea, and into Poland.
In fact, there was no Poland at this point.
When Germany and the Soviet Union divided Poland together, there was no Poland as a country. Germany had direct jurisdiction over western Poland. While the war of invading the Soviet Union was going on successfully, the original inhabitants of Poland began to migrate to Belarus and Ukraine in the east. The land that comes down belongs to the German people.
Therefore, it also belongs to German territory, and there are scattered field radars on the northern coastline.
Yes, after discovering that the Soviets had introduced new bombers, the German Air Force increased the number of ground air defense radars. Although many large radars could not be deployed, there were still some field radars mounted on off-road trucks. Their search The distance is generally not far, it is a supplementary role.
At this time, on a radar car, several radar soldiers were watching the radar screen. The generator car not far away was rumbling. It was destined to be a boring night.
Suddenly, several bright spots appeared on the screen, and when they saw the bright spots, the radar soldier instantly exclaimed: "Look, what is that?"
Dense bright spots appeared on their screens. They flew over quickly from the north and flew toward the south. Because the radar's range was limited, it didn't appear on the screen for a long time.
"It's a flying unit, maybe our unit is training." A radar soldier couldn't help but say: "It's flying from Finland, maybe it's a transport plane."
If they were more negligent, maybe the alarm would have passed, but a newly enlisted radar soldier was very serious: "We do not have this fleet in our flight announcement today, and it is night, and the other party is big fleet."
He looked at the notices issued every day, and there was no report of the fleet he had just encountered, and behind them, within 200 kilometers, there were almost no air defense radars.
Germany's deployment is also a typical example of tightness on the outside and looseness on the inside. After all, resources are limited, and it is impossible to closely monitor all airspaces with radar, even in future generations.
"Let's report it." When the monitor came over, he heard the analysis and immediately made a decision.
An unknown flying unit, numbering more than ten, flew over the Polish coastline from the direction of the Baltic Sea and was flying in depth!
The news, reported first-level, quickly arrived at the Berlin headquarters. When Richthofen was woken up, he felt his eyelids twitching.
If it is linked to the radio intelligence over Finland half an hour ago, it is even more suspicious. This is the same flight formation!
"Their goal is not Berlin." Richthofen said, and now he can determine that this is a Soviet bomber formation. Although he does not know how he flew to Finland and then flew south, he can now conclude , the other party must be the Soviets.
They came to bomb the German mainland. The scary thing was that they had already flown over the land. They actually came from the direction of Finland and flew southwards. As a result, they perfectly avoided the night fighter troops arranged by themselves!
So what is their goal?
