Chapter 391 Warspite

Cyric, who came from later generations, is familiar with the military, the history of World War II, and a variety of cross-era weapons.

In the war, the importance of communication is self-evident, and in the communication between the enemy and the enemy, protecting their own communication content from being eavesdropped, and at the same time doing everything possible to eavesdrop on the enemy's communication, is a common way of information warfare in World War II.

Under the promotion of Cyric, a brand-new frequency hopping communication technology is being developed in the Libyan base, and the confidentiality is quite strong. Of course, if it is only these, it will be too underestimated by Cyric.

In later generations, there is another very important thing, that is, electromagnetic interference!

In addition to eavesdropping on each other's communications, there is also interference with each other's communications!

In World War II, this was a brand new style, and in the Libyan base, it has been studied for more than ten years.

They chose the same Atlantic No. 1 passenger plane and modified it. Now, the passenger plane that flies at an altitude of 10,000 meters above its head is this modified plane.

If you look at it from the outside, the biggest difference from ordinary airliners is the dozen or so antennas arranged on the nose, fuselage, and tail of the aircraft.

In the cabin, the original passenger compartment is occupied by various electronic devices.

In order to power these electronic devices, the generators driven by the original four engines are far from enough. For this reason, a liquid-cooled DB601 engine is placed at the rear of the nacelle to drive an 800 kW engine. The power generators, all of which are supplied to the electronic equipment in the middle passenger compartment.

In this era, transistors have not yet become popular, and all electronic devices are made of electronic tubes. Therefore, the temperature in this passenger compartment is also quite high. For this reason, there is a special ventilation in the front of the passenger compartment. mouth.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the temperature is about 65 degrees Celsius lower than the ground. That is to say, the temperature outside is below zero at this time. It is enough to use the outside air to cool these devices. Otherwise, huge air conditioning equipment is required. .

At this time, these devices are running at full power, and a steady stream of electromagnetic interference is released into the entire airspace.

The full-band, large-blocking electromagnetic interference sounds very chic and domineering, but it is not so easy to achieve.

If you want full-band interference, the energy required is simply astronomical. Even the electronic jammers of later generations cannot achieve it. Therefore, at most, interference to specific frequency bands can be achieved now, as long as you find out the frequency bands used by the British military. , and then release various corresponding interference electromagnetic waves, it is enough.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, this specialized electronic jammer is flying leisurely. Now, it is very safe. After all, the UK has not yet had a fighter jet capable of flying to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

And the battle below is still going on fiercely.

Each JU88 carried two 1-ton bombs. Now, Bescher only threw away one, which completely damaged the Hood. The bow of the Hood has been broken. This British proud Battlecruisers, must have a break.

So, after pulling up, Bescher continued to look for new targets.

At this time, the entire port was full of smoke and dust.

The Junkers 88 bombers were constantly diving and bombing. These were the most elite German pilots. Their heads were astonishingly high. In the port, warships were hit everywhere, and then they would burn with billowing smoke.

This brought great inconvenience to the subsequent attacking aircraft, and they could no longer see the situation of the warships in the port.

How to do?

Bescher pushed the lever, and the Junkers 88 began to dive down, dive.

This time, it was a meaningless dive. Almost when he was close to the sea, Bescher pulled up. This time, he finally saw it clearly.

The thick smoke was rolling upwards. When it got close to the sea, it became clearer. You could see that not far from you was a warship that had already started and was leaving the dock.

The Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, HMS Warspite.

Just listening to the name of this warship, you can know the inner world of the British. They don't want to fight, but this Warspite has never really hated war.

On the contrary, in the equipment of the British Navy, it belongs to the warships with outstanding military achievements, and it is the old opponent of the German Navy.

This 30,000-ton warship, built at the Davenport Naval Shipyard, served 15 years and began a legendary life.

There are two aspects to this legend. First, it often collided with other warships. It collided with the Barham shortly after it was commissioned. In the following career, it collided with other warships one after another. Huge size, never suffered a loss.

Secondly, it has experienced World War I, World War II, and was injured many times, but it has survived tenaciously. For example, in the Battle of Jutland due to the failure of the steering gear, it was severely damaged by the concentrated attack of the German fleet, and was hit by 15 missiles. Large-caliber shells hit.

As a result, after repairing, continue to serve.

He was severely damaged by a 500-pound bomb off the coast of Crete during the Battle of Crete. Returning to Alexandria for temporary repairs, he was hit by another 1,000-pound bomb.

Severely damaged by three German radio-guided glide bombs during the landing at Salermo. Temporary maintenance on the Island of Malta.

Each time it was dangerous, but in the end it came alive and became a miraculous battleship for the British Navy.

And this time, Warspite once again performed a miracle.

After the First World War, all British warships were converted into boilers that burn heavy oil. However, no matter what kind of boiler, it takes time to boil water. Only German-class diesel engines or later gas turbines can fire and go away.

But the Warspite was set in motion.

HMS Warspite actually does not belong to the sequence of the British Home Fleet. It has always been the flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet. This time, it was only temporarily accepted the mission and returned to the British mainland.

Just last night, it had just entered the port, and because it was about to be dispatched again, the boiler did not turn off, which was equivalent to the car being idling.

The officers and soldiers on the warship also stayed on the warship and were taking their time to rest. When the sound of air defense alarms sounded one after another outside, everyone was awakened.

No, air strike!

It is definitely not safe to stay in the port. There are too many bombers attacking here. They can only use the cover of the surrounding smoke to leave the port!

If you're lucky, you might actually be able to slip away.

In the boiler, a large amount of heavy oil jets began to burn at full speed, and the Warspite began to accelerate.

To deal with bombers in the air, in addition to relying on their own anti-aircraft artillery, the speed of the warship itself is also very important.

All around, there were explosions, burning flames, and thick black smoke. There was a choking smell in the air, and the huge War Exhaustion, like a ghost, shuttled through it.

"Dive bomber!" A lookout standing on the mast suddenly shouted loudly: "12 o'clock!"
