Chapter 978 Prince Wei Yangen (Plus 1)
Norwegian port.
An ordinary tractor has a huge antenna deployed on the upper end of the car body. At this time, the antenna is slowly rotating, and the target data will be refreshed every time it rotates.
On the radar operation car on the side, two German radar soldiers were watching the screen in front of them.
With the widespread use of transistors, the size of German radars has been shrinking, the power consumption is also decreasing, and the heat generated is also greatly reduced. In the past, the inside of the radar car was like a steamer. The heat is greatly reduced, and Norway is relatively cooler, so it is more comfortable to perform such a search task.
Most of the time, there is nothing on the screen.
Germany does not have a large-scale garrison of troops in Norway. However, due to the special geographical location of Norway, Germany deploys the navy and air force in Norway, and next to these bases, there are radar warning troops.
Once they have a bad relationship with the Soviet Union, they will be dispatched at any time to cut off the sea routes of the Soviets.
It was definitely an accident.
Outside, the moon has not yet risen, and the sky is dark. In this case, flying at night will hardly be detected, but it will be detected by radar!
Because the gliders are dragged behind, the aircraft of the new British sneak attack echelon cannot fly too low. After all, after the gliders are separated from the carrier aircraft, they need to glide and fly. They need to be high enough to reach the destination. Otherwise very sad.
Now, they were flying at an altitude of six thousand meters, and they had already appeared on the screen when they were still one hundred kilometers away from the radar station in Norway.
At this time, it is ten o'clock in the evening.
"No, there are two suspicious targets found." The radar operator shouted loudly: "It came from the direction of Greenland! Alert, there is an enemy attack!"
Although Greenland has not been occupied, the German side's defense against Greenland is quite strict. The German Air Force is firmly guarding their sky. Now, a group of suspicious aircraft has suddenly been discovered!
The entire air defense net was triggered, and after three minutes, the order was passed to the nearby night fighter force.
Yes, a night fighter!
Last year, the German night fighter unit played well and successfully intercepted the night bombing of British bombers, which made the British suffer a big loss.
After that, the German night fighter force was further expanded.
With the gradual strengthening of Germany, now only Germany can bully others, and then, Germany will challenge the Soviet Union and the United States. These superpowers are crazy to retaliate, and the only way these countries can use is at night. attacked.
Therefore, Germany must be prepared!
In Norway, a night fighter unit is also stationed. The 6th Squadron of the 3rd Night Fighter Wing, a total of twelve he219 night fighters.
Norway's airspace is very empty, which is convenient for the deployment and training of the fighter force, and the night fighter force has at least two night fighters on standby every night.
When the alarm sounded at the base, Captain Heinrich-Zu-Xiayan-Weitingen immediately grabbed his flying cap and rushed towards the plane.
Yes, he is a nobleman among nobles, a member of the royal family.
Of course, the German royal family has long since fallen. Prince Weiyangen, like other young people of his generation, is full of fanatical love for the Führer. In the school days, he became a follower of the Führer. He led by 150 Hitler A group of young people organized motivational activities in the camp, and he also attacked his own shortcomings wholeheartedly at the activities. After that, he did some imperial labor.
In April 1936 he began his military career with the Bamberg 17th Cavalry Regiment, after which he promised himself to be a good soldier.
A year later, Prince Wei Yangen was enlisted in the Air Force and was promoted to lieutenant in June 1938. He has since added his own missions to various known military airfields and has flown various types of aircraft, last year At that time, he was promoted to captain and flew a night fighter.
Historically, when he was killed at the age of 27, he had already shot down 83 aircraft, and he was the absolute ace of the night fighter.
From the appearance, Prince Wei Yangen is an absolutely handsome Germanic guy, but in the night battle, he has nothing to do with the handsome guy, he is just a cold hunter.
The he219 night fighter quickly started the two engines. After the engines were warmed up and the oil temperature came up, Prince Wei Yangen drove the plane and started to roll.
The speed of the plane is getting faster and faster. When it reaches the take-off speed, he pulls up the operating lever. This twin-engine fighter is more flexible than many single-engine fighters. For example, its maximum speed has reached 600 kilometers per hour. Hour!
It was pitch black all around. Prince Wei Yangen and his wingman formed a formation and followed the instructions of the radio, heading for the direction of the target.
Behind him, the radar operator had begun to fiddle with the airborne radar.
With the continuous breakthroughs in electronic technology in Germany, the performance of the airborne radar used by night fighters has made great progress. It can search for aircraft about ten kilometers ahead, and the accuracy is quite high, which can be guided to the visual distance. !
The radar operator was very nervous. When he took off, he began to warm up the radar. Now, the radar has reached a normal working state. As the last switch is turned on, strong electromagnetic waves are emitted from the eight antenna antennas in front of the nose. Radiated out, filling the airspace in front.
"The ground guidance told us that we are still 20 kilometers away from the target, and we are about to enter a state of contact." Prince Wei Yangen said.
If you want to intercept at night, you must rely on radar. The ground radar provides general direction guidance, and the airborne radar provides precise guidance.
After he finished speaking, he pushed the accelerator to the idle position, and the noise of the engines on both sides suddenly decreased.
Now they are flying head-to-head, and their speed is reduced, which can make the interception window larger.
Soon, the plane was reduced to 200 kilometers per hour, which is very low for such a plane, but it still flew smoothly.
The night sky was still dark, and in the rear cabin, the radar operator was still watching the small cathode ray tube in front of him. Finally, two bright spots appeared on it.
"Found the target, straight ahead, ten kilometers!"
Ten kilometers, which is an almost instantaneous distance for two planes flying opposite each other, Prince Wei Yangen opened the weapon insurance, switched the weapons to the four MG151 cannons under the belly, and let himself use violent guns. Let's greet each other with a rain of bullets!
