Chapter 1741 Justice Will Win

World War II was a catalyst for advanced technology, especially radar.

Before World War II, radar was just a concept, but after World War II, all kinds of radars have been able to have a perfect actual combat state.

For radar, the most critical component is the magnetron, which is a special vacuum tube that can release electromagnetic waves from inside. Yes, it is the component that emits electromagnetic waves. Without it, there would be no radar.

Historically, magnetrons have been around since 1921, but multi-cavity high-energy magnetrons were not invented until 1939 by Randall and Boot at the University of Birmingham, UK.

Radar waves have different wavelengths and frequencies. For example, in later generations, for anti-stealth aircraft, meter-wave radars are used. The longer the wavelength, the easier it is to radiate energy and have a longer detection distance.

However, its accuracy is not enough. If you want to improve the resolution better, you must reduce the wavelength of the radar. This is the purpose of the multi-cavity high-energy magnetron, which enables the radar to work in the microwave band with a larger pulse intensity. . It improves the comprehensive resolution accuracy of the target, the azimuth accuracy and the distance accuracy by orders of magnitude, makes the antenna smaller and has higher performance, makes the sea surface and terrain interference clutter better detected, and makes the pulse width reach the microsecond level. It reduced the minimum detection range from half a mile to a few hundred yards, allowed the interceptor's guns to be fully radar-controlled, and allowed bulky antennas to be shrunk down to fit in wings or bomb-sized pods.

After talking for a long time, the current ordinary shipborne radar can only know that the enemy plane is in a certain airspace, but the specific location is not clear, and it cannot guide the naval gun to intercept. However, this new fire control radar, due to the improvement of accuracy, Perfectly fulfilling the purpose of the fire control radar, it guides the anti-aircraft gun, perfectly turns to where the target is, and fires!

Germany's previous radars were mainly developed from magnetrons imported from island countries, and after conquering Britain, the technology of this multi-cavity high-energy magnetron was also acquired by Germany. After that, based on this magnetron , Germany developed the first gun aiming radar.

Now, this radar is installed on the Lützow and is used to control the double-mounted 88mm anti-aircraft gun. After receiving the order, the preheated radar immediately turned on, and the 2900 MHz radar wave was instantly turned on. Scan towards that cloud.

The clouds formed by the condensation of water vapor cannot block the electromagnetic waves. Only the aluminum skin of the fighter plane can clearly reflect these echoes. Now, with the echoes, they accurately flashed on the screen of the fire control radar.

Then, the radar soldier began to report quickly: "The altitude is 2,500, the azimuth is 0-3-6, the elevation angle is 75 degrees, 3 minutes and 2 seconds, and the distance is 3,001. Please mark and shoot Zhu Yuan immediately."

If you want the radar to automatically control the anti-aircraft gun, it is still impossible. The current gun aiming fire control radar can automatically calculate the azimuth, elevation, distance and height of the target according to the detected target data. and fire important information, which is already quite efficient.

While the radar continued to automatically track the target, the gunners were rapidly turning the steering wheel on the gun position of the anti-aircraft gun, the anti-aircraft gun was fine-tuning, and then a group of fireballs emerged from the muzzle.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

At this moment, suddenly, a huge wave slapped the hull of the Lützow. As the hull swayed, the muzzle also swayed and missed.

On warships, the base of the naval gun will sway with the hull, so that the naval gun will deviate when firing. In order to prevent shooting errors, on the Bismarck, the 105mm naval gun is equipped with three-axis self-stabilizing. The platform, no matter how the hull swayed, the naval guns stood tall, showing the strength of this kind of naval guns.

However, on the Lützow, there was no such equipment.

The slight shaking of the gun body will lead to a major deviation of the shell. At this time, in the control room of the fire control radar, the radar soldier shouted loudly: "Quick, immediately lower the elevation angle, it rushed down!"

Even without the use of fire control radar, other antiaircraft artillerymen caught the American-made pirate fighter with the naked eye. At this time, it suddenly emerged from the clouds and began to dive down with a terrifying momentum. Its target , is the aircraft carrier Munich in the formation!

Fire, fire!

The dozen or so warships escorting them all turned their anti-aircraft guns over, and 40mm, 88mm, and 105mm anti-aircraft artillery shells were continuously swept into the sky, shrouded in gunpowder smoke, covering the entire target's airspace.

If you want to dive down, you have to pass through this terrible barrage, which is simply asking for your own death.

At this time, Roy didn't flinch. He felt his plane tremble from the explosion of the anti-aircraft artillery shells, and felt the roar of countless shells. Roy continued to dive down and dive.

"Boom!" An 88mm artillery shell exploded just a few meters away from his plane. Numerous fragments hit his plane. The front engine suddenly emitted black smoke, followed by The flames jumped out.

There were also several bullets on the fuselage. In the cockpit, Roy felt as if his thigh was bitten.

Roy is injured.

The smoke in the front of the nose is getting bigger and bigger, and Roy's eyes are full of determination. Below, the aircraft carrier has become more and more clear.

"Justice will win!" Roy shouted on the radio, and there was a loud noise inside. It was his companions who were still fighting. For him, this was a just war, and Germany was trying to rule the whole country. The world will inevitably end in failure.

The pirate fighter jet with thick smoke continued to dive downward. Below, the aircraft carrier Munich was also in a hurry. The captain issued an instruction to fill the left rudder in an attempt to avoid the fiery fighter jet.

There was admiration in the captain's eyes. The pilot of the fighter plane had already dived with the conviction of death. In order to attack, the other party would rather sacrifice his life.

Well, it is absolutely worth it to use his life to exchange an aircraft carrier!

"Tom tom, bang!" At this moment, the roaring 40mm Bofors cannonball fell on its body. The shell tore the rear of the fuselage and hit the fuel tank. The entire plane suddenly exploded in the air.

The artillerymen immediately cheered.

Great, hit!

The blown up pirate fighter blazes in the air, and it is still diving down along its original trajectory, which is already an open sea, and then it plunges into the sea.

In the sky, Alcatel witnessed all this, and suddenly, he felt that his heart was empty, as if he had lost something. His eyes stayed on the fighter plane that fell into the sea, and he could not calm down for a long time.
