Chapter 1769 Find Suspicious Targets
Iceland, remote radar station.
So far, the ground warning radar in Germany has been perfected. The radar station established near the capital of Iceland at this time can monitor the nearby airspace within a range of 300 kilometers. Now, it is running at six laps per minute. time spins.
On the radar screen, several blurred bright spots appeared. The radar soldier rubbed his eyes hard, thinking it was dazzling.
Then, he saw the bright spots disappear from his screen from southwest to northeast.
what is that? Could it be some special cloud reflection? The radar soldier shouted to the squad leader on duty: "Several suspicious targets were found, from southwest to northeast, and then disappeared."
Hearing his words, the squad leader immediately walked over a few steps and said, "Is the goal clear?"
"I don't know, it's very blurry. It has disappeared now. Maybe it's a special cloud reflection at high altitude, right?"
"Impossible. The airflow at high altitude here is not in that direction. This may be a large bomber formation. They fly very densely, and there will be blurred bright spots, and there are still a lot of them."
In order to obtain a longer observation distance and reduce the technical difficulty, almost all long-range warning radars are mainly meter-wave. Although they can see far, they cannot see clearly.
A few indistinct targets may be a large group of bombers flying in dense formations, so such a situation appears on the radar screen. An indistinct bright spot may be several aircraft.
Hearing the squad leader's words, the radar soldiers suddenly became nervous.
bomber? From that direction, if you draw a route, it should be southern Canada, or even the continental United States. What are they flying here for? Is it to bomb Europe?
No, report it immediately.
Before he had time to report, those bright spots appeared on the screen again, this time from the east.
"Found a new target, coming from the east, sailing westward from the northern waters of Iceland," the radar soldier continued.
"Sure enough, it's still them!" The squad leader's hand quickly drew a line on the aeronautical chart. The targets just discovered, sailed toward the northeast, then turned back in the airspace ahead, and turned around, if they hadn't just discovered them I thought it was flying over from Europe, so I would definitely relax my vigilance.
"Report to the superior immediately and found that an unknown group of aircraft is flying from the east to the west. Civil Aviation Route 46 may be a group of American bombers." The squad leader said.
With the continuous deployment of radars, there are gradually no secrets at high altitudes.
The radar station was reported to Berlin, and then transferred to Wolf Valley 2. At this time, in the Wolf Valley 2 base, everyone was paying attention to this American sneak attack.
When the report from this radar station came, Richthofen spoke first: "This should be the last killer move of the Americans. They used a large number of fighter planes to attract our naval fighters from the western airspace, and then used bombers. Attacked from the east, these bombers must be carrying the secret equipment from the last time they bombed the island nation's fleet."
Cyric nodded: "Their timing is really accurate. Now, the main anti-aircraft fighters in the fleet have been dispatched, and even some HS129s have begun to go out as temporary anti-aircraft fighters. Force to stop this new bomber."
"Yeah, Raedl is going to make a fool of himself this time." Richthofen said with a smile: "Fortunately, the fighter jets that took off from Iceland are now turning around and flying east, just 100 kilometers east of the aircraft carrier formation. Stop them over the sea."
The contradiction between the navy and the air force is not big. Richthofen said this purely as a joke, without any malice.
Cyric nodded: "Hurry up and notify the front, otherwise it will be too late."
While the situation was being quickly discussed in the Wolf Valley Base 2, on the Hitler aircraft carrier, Marshall was also studying the situation.
More and more enemy planes were discovered, and more and more interceptor fighters were dispatched. In the airspace behind our fleet, the battle was very lively, but I always felt that something was missing.
This time, most of them are the latest US-made fighter jets, the Army's Mustang, the Navy's F4U and the like. All kinds of aircraft are fighting in melee, which has brought huge pressure to our own air defense. Fortunately, there is no enemy aircraft. prevent over.
Suddenly, Machar patted his head and thought of it!
Those American trump cards, B-29 bombers carrying guided bombs, why haven't they come yet?
They will definitely come. Now, the most powerful killer moves of the Americans have not been used yet, and what about their own side? I have already started to make up numbers with HS129, what should I do?
"Report, the base camp called, and a large-scale suspicious aircraft group was found in the eastern part of our fleet. The fighter jets that came to reinforce Iceland have turned and are ready to intercept."
Leapfrog command is a taboo, especially in such a sea and air battle where the situation changes rapidly, if it is not particularly critical, the base camp will not interfere with the command and operations of the front line.
At this moment, from the Hindenburg-class battleship at the forefront of the fleet, the ship's long-range early warning radar has also vaguely discovered something.
"A suspicious aircraft group appeared in front of our formation!"
Americans think that flying on the route of civil aviation can maintain maximum concealment. Unfortunately, the times are developing and technology is improving. When Germany attacked Scapa Flow, the radar was still quite primitive, and a large group of bombers could also pretend to be one. The target, anyway, is an obscure bright spot.
Now, with the improvement of clarity, there are already several bright spots. If it is civil aviation, there will never be several planes flying together.
And it is impossible for a few bombers to fly, so there is no bombing effect.
"Attention, all the Nowotny Group pay attention, turn immediately, and fly to the eastern airspace of the fleet." After receiving the order, the group commander Nowotny shouted on the radio: "A suspicious aircraft group appeared in the eastern part of the fleet, let's go. Stop!"
With clear airspace and a good view, Novotny was very excited when he sat in the storm bird in the bubble-shaped cockpit.
If they rush to the airspace west of the fleet, it will be a big melee, which is not good for the jets. After all, the speed of the jets is fast, and they must identify the target before attacking in order to prevent accidental strikes.
And now, heading east of the fleet is the main battlefield of their jets, and the target may also be bombers. He turned to look at the rockets mounted on the wings on both sides. Well, it's just for the bomber formation. Made to measure.
