Chapter 684 Aircraft Production Factory (Plus)
A wave of V-2 missiles, hundreds of big killers, are used to knock on doors!
If it is in the later generations, similar to the attack of the United States, the first wave will definitely be the Tomahawk cruise missile. Unfortunately, the current technology is not as advanced as the later generations.
Since the center of gravity is placed on ballistic missiles, in terms of cruise missiles, the cruise missile codenamed V-1 is still in the development stage, and the progress will be later. After all, in the era of no digital maps and terrain mapping radars, cruise missiles The accuracy is also quite poor.
Therefore, Germany can only increase the amount of use, throwing in hundreds of missiles at one time, the target is the British air defense system!
Radar stations, command centers, air bases, power stations, etc., five to ten missiles will be allocated to each target. In this way, the first wave will successfully paralyze the British air defense system!
As for the few fighter planes that took off in advance, without ground guidance, they were purely a role of soy sauce and could be ignored.
When the V-2 missile exploded on the opponent's land, the bomber formation on this side had just flown to the center line of the strait.
Night bombing has a high safety factor, not to mention that the opponent's air defense system has been cleaned up. For the bomber troops, there is almost no need to worry about the opponent's interception. What they need to worry about is whether they can accurately find the target!
"Turn off the navigation lights, we're about to enter the skies over the UK." On a leading Junkers-290 bomber, the navigator and bombardier Ludwig was staring intently at the small-sized cathode ray tube in front of him. He compared A map to determine your location.
Over France, they flew with their navigation lights turned on, but when they turned on the navigation lights over England, it was simply courting death, and that was an excellent target for antiaircraft artillery.
Following his guidance, the entire formation turned off the navigation lights. However, at the tail of each aircraft, there was a small light on. This light can only be seen by the aircraft directly behind. Others The direction is impossible to find.
At the same time, they are now flying at an altitude of 8,000 meters, so they don't have to worry about the British bombers.
Ludwig is already a veteran of many combat flights and has rich combat experience. Now, he has won two Iron Cross medals and belongs to a hero in the Air Force.
Now, as the most experienced navigator, he is responsible for the guidance of the entire fleet. This is the first night bombing, and it must be done beautifully!
In addition to his experience, of course, is the Y-Gera:t radio navigation system he now uses. Using rho-theta positioning method, the error is about 90 meters at 200 miles from the navigation station, absolutely advanced equipment.
"Enter the first turning point ahead, heading 030, ready to turn." He continued to shout, and at the same time, marked on his navigation map.
Directly ahead of their route is the hinterland of England, Fort Brownwich in the West Midlands!
How can we beat the British? Of course to destroy their aviation industry! If the British can't produce even a single plane, then this war, they can't go on at all!
The first wave, in addition to attacking the British air bases, was to bombard the British industrial cities indiscriminately! Especially their aviation industry base!
And Bronwich Castle, there is a British Spitfire production factory!
The voyage is long, with several major British cities along the way, even flying over the edge of London.
In the dark, it is not difficult to find each other's city.
Although the other party has implemented a light control, the whole city is dark, but at this time, there are beams of light in the sky above the city.
The German air attack is coming, where will the Germans bomb at such a time? The British first thought of their own capital, London!
In order to protect London, they deployed a large number of anti-aircraft guns and searchlights around London.
The dazzling lampposts are constantly shining in the sky, and looking down from the sky, it is easy to distinguish the city.
Below, is the capital of the British! Ludwig suppressed his inner excitement. In fact, he really hoped that the bomb could be thrown over the British capital, but he had to execute the order.
Next time!
Historically, the Luftwaffe had to lose a large number of fighter jets in order to open the bombing channel to London.
But now, it is quite easy.
First of all, this is a night bombing, and the opponent's interception is very difficult. Second, the British air defense system has been destroyed. At this time, the British are in a mess and have no spare energy to intercept.
Moreover, historically, the Germans did not have large bombers at all, but now, the Junkers-290, this absolute strategic bomber, will bring huge combat effects every time it is dispatched.
After flying over London, it was still dark all around, and they still needed half an hour's flight.
When the Spitfire completed the design, it was confirmed that the aircraft had good flight performance, but it was a disaster for the manufacturer, especially the oval wing, which was very difficult to machine.
However, Ultramarin eventually persuaded the Ministry of Aviation to begin mass production of this advanced fighter, and at the same time set up the production plant at Fort Brownwich.
Fort Brownwich is not by the sea, it is not convenient to transport, and many people are still dissatisfied, but now, they finally know how wise the decision is, this place belongs to the rear, and there is no need to worry about the bombing of the Germans, even if it is the German missiles , and can't fly that far, they're safe.
And now, as the only advanced model that can compete with the main German fighter, the production of the Spitfire has been going on at full speed all the time.
At this time, in the factory, the workers on the night shift were busy on the production line.
Inside the factory, the lights are bright.
Aircraft production is different from automobile production. This kind of production line does not have much flow operations. You can see the final assembly plant, which is a huge workshop. At this time, this workshop is full of more than a dozen spray guns. Fire fighters, hundreds of skilled workers, are busy on the plane.
A worker is sitting in the cab with a screwdriver, installing various instruments, and the wires are tangled around the side. Due to the lack of workers, some people have started to give. He continued to stay in the factory after the day shift. overtime.
After working continuously for more than ten hours, he felt a buzzing sound in his ears. He raised his head and looked out the window, as if, this buzzing sound was coming from outside?
Impossible, there must be something wrong with my ears, um, after sticking for another hour, after installing the instrument of this plane, I should go back to rest.
At this time, absolutely no one thought that German bombers would cross the strait, go hundreds of kilometers inland, and fly to their aircraft factory to bomb!
In the sky, the black aircraft group is flying!
