Chapter 1784 Lupine Project

Baffin Island is the largest island in Canada and the fifth largest island in the world. Part of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It faces Greenland across Baffin Bay and Davis Strait to the east.

The terrain here is complex, with mountains higher than 8,000 feet. The ridge runs through the eastern part of the island and is covered with glaciers. The coast of Fox Bay in the Midwest is lowland, with a winding coastline and many fjords.

Most of the island is located in the Arctic Circle, with long and cold winters and cool summers, with only a few Inuit people living on the island.

This island is across the strait from Greenland. It is said that the Germans won Greenland, and the next target should be here. In fact, as long as you analyze it carefully, you will know that it is unnecessary.

Because it's too cold here.

Germany occupied Greenland in order to use Greenland as a springboard to land in the Americas across the sea. No matter how vast the territory is in these alpine regions, there is not much use. Moreover, the island is full of mountainous areas, and the Germans occupied it. There is no any value.

So it only makes sense to dive south from Greenland, either directly to the continental United States or to the warmer Labrador Island.

At this time, in Frobisher Bay, south of Baffin Island, a man came to an ordinary residence.

Frobisher is one of the main settlements on Baffin Island. There are about a thousand residents living here. Because it is too cold here, there are not too tall buildings, and almost all of them are bungalows.

The door was opened, and the man was ushered into the room. He went straight to the fireplace and quickly cooked the fire. He came all the way and was frozen.

A limping man came over and sat next to him, only then did he react: "Colonel!"

Colonel Eddie nodded and said, "What did you find?"

"We observed near the unfinished aviation bases. Sure enough, after the Germans completed them, they began to station the German fighters. In particular, there was also a jet brigade, which was transferred to the H3 base." The man said.

Jet Brigade! Hearing this, Colonel Eddie's eyes lit up. After waiting for a few days, he finally got good news!

At the same time, he was also pleasantly surprised by Donovan's judgment that the Germans had indeed deployed jet units to Greenland.

Since Greenland has just been occupied, a large number of American intelligence personnel can easily stay on the island. Because of the cold weather there, it is impossible for the Germans to carry out perfect personnel screening. In this way, their personnel can operate normally. Now finally got the harvest!

"At the same time, we also used radio equipment to receive their radio navigation signals and hand them over to the personnel behind, who should be able to simulate the information." The man continued.

The Germans have used advanced radio navigation equipment to navigate by sending radio signals. This system is actually very easy to copy, as long as the signal is available, it can be simulated.

Colonel Eddie nodded: "Well, our simulation venue has also been built. Now, our lupine project has officially started!"

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. Now that the German fighter jets are in place, the next move is finally about to kick off.

Stealing fighter jets is tricky, but direct stealing is impossible.

Autumn is about to pass, winter is coming, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer.

The whistling cold wind is blowing constantly. In many weathers, even the take-off and landing of the aircraft will be dangerous. The wind will directly overturn the take-off and landing aircraft. This is the terrible climate in the Arctic region.

The base is still busy.

"Recently, the focus of our training is still on the use of rockets to intercept bombers." Nowotny said, "I want to tell you good news. Our suggestions for improving the fighters have been reported. Soon, we will There will be 30mm cannons and our fuselage will be reinforced.”

The last interception experiment showed that in order to deal with large targets such as the B-29 bomber, the effect of rockets is good, as long as the head is accurate enough, but the 20mm cannon is not powerful enough.

In World War II, Mauser's MG151 series 20mm cannon, known as the most suitable cannon, has been used since the beginning of the war, and it has been encountered B-29, and finally it is not enough.

Therefore, we continued to develop a new 30mm cannon. The original MK101 type was too heavy to be suitable. Until now, the improved MK108 type has finally come out. It is lighter in weight, compact in structure, and powerful in lethality. Jets are equipped, after all, this kind of aircraft is the easiest to install cannons.

At the same time, the suggestions on strengthening the parts of the fuselage that are less hit by bullets have also been carefully absorbed and adopted.

When I heard that it was going to be equipped with a 30mm cannon, many people became excited in an instant, especially those who had experienced the last battle. After they came down, they analyzed the firing data. To deal with the B-29, at least 30 rounds of 20mm cannonballs were required. !

Now, it's time for a new gun, which is good news.

However, Ted on the side asked a question: "Are we changing one door, or three doors?"

Among the flying troops, Ted is the most thoughtful person, although Novotny was most satisfied with Ted within a few days of coming here.

Now, he raised a very important question.

The trajectory of the 20mm cannon is different from that of the 30mm cannon. If only one is replaced and the other two still use 20mm, the sight cannot be adjusted. The trajectory of the 30mm cannon is more curved. And the 20mm straight, if only adjusted to the middle, the 30mm shell will fly away from below, and the 20mm shell will fly away from the target, and no one will hit the result.

If all 30mm cannons are used, it will lead to a reduction in the amount of ammunition, and the durability is not high.

This is also a tricky question, and Nowotny was about to answer when he heard a piercing anti-aircraft siren from outside.

No, there is a situation!

When he heard the sound, Ted immediately picked up the flight cap from the side and ran out. Today, he was on duty with his captain Carl Snow.

Carl also rushed out, the two of them flew to the plane almost at the same time, jumped in, and the coldness from the seat made his bottom shiver.

Flip the switches and start the engine. When the roar of the engine came from the rear, the voice of Nowotny running into the tower also came from the earphone: "Attention, from the southwest, from the Labrador Peninsula. Flying a target, at an altitude of 8,000 and a speed of 500, it may be an American reconnaissance plane."

There is only one target, and that must be the reconnaissance plane, and it is war time, of course, shoot it down without hesitation!
