A radar soldier is bored with his glass and staring at the screen that never appears. Beside him, an officer was yawning while throwing darts at a nearby target.
Since the radar station was built on the coast, its equipment has been replaced twice. Each time, the radar antenna has become smaller and the detection range is said to be increasing.
However, in the eyes of these radar soldiers, the increase is nothing more than a more comfortable looking screen, and a larger number of scale values on the screen. It used to be 20 km, but later it became 40 km. Up to now, the high-altitude exploration has reached an amazing 170 km.
Although the detection range of a single aircraft can only be maintained at about 100 km, this technology was a great achievement in 1938. With this advanced equipment, combined with the nearby field airport, the air defense capability of William military port can be said to be one of the most powerful in the world.
Of course, this does not include 30 150 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, 70 88 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, and 40 bofos 40 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns. These guns formed a dense network of fire near the port of William.
"Chief, I heard your daughter went to college?" The radar soldier took a sip of the water in his teacup and asked softly.
"Yes, a letter of acceptance from a university in Berlin. She's my pride. " The officer yawned again, but when he mentioned his daughter, he felt quite proud: "how about it? Isn't that great? "
"You really don't have to say that your family has culture, and the educated children also have culture, which is really enviable..." the soldier nodded and said.
"Woo... Woo..." the two men were chatting with each other. Suddenly, the machine next to the radar gave an alarm. The radar soldier immediately frowned and stopped chatting. He looked back at the radar screen.
It didn't matter. He was startled: "sir! I found that a large number of planes are approaching us. I need to confirm if there are any planes returning by ourselves! Do you want to send a signal to the fighter pilots? "
"Inform the air defense forces immediately, and the fighter forces! This is not our fleet! Speed The officer looked through the flight notice and suddenly said in horror, "that's not our plane! Our plane didn't have any missions earlier today! "
"Call Port William air defense command! Call Port William air defense command! This is tower 3! This is tower 3! A large number of unidentified aircraft have been found near Port William! A large number of unidentified aircraft have been found approaching Port William! " The radar soldier grabbed the radio and called loudly.
"This is the flight tower, confirm the take-off intercept mission! Confirm take-off intercept mission Inside the earphone, there was a sound from the control tower of the airport not far away.
"This is tower 3! Confirm the identity of the enemy plane, please take off immediately and intercept it! " The officer took the intercom and said in a loud voice, "we have checked that the target is not a friendly aircraft! The target is not a friendly aircraft! "
"Flight tower, understand! We'll take off immediately and take off to fight. " After a slight pause on the other side of the tower, he said.
Just when they had a good conversation, the whole harbor was filled with sirens, and the anti-aircraft artillery troops ran to their posts in the reverberation of the sirens. The canvas was torn off by the soldiers, and the long gun barrel came out, pointing to the sky bit by bit.
The soldiers began to point the guns at the position where the enemy plane would appear, and the loader pushed the shells into the gun bore. The observer on one side looked at the distant sky with a serious telescope.
The same scene appeared in the airport, a group of German pilots with equipment quickly rushed out of their dormitory. The ground crew on one side helped with all kinds of equipment and followed the pilots to their planes.
Technicians are helping some planes to load ammunition, and some are urgently adding fuel to them.
"Come on! Come on! Fighter planes with fuel loading have priority to take off! If it's over ten, go to the predetermined interception place immediately and fight! " "All pilots check their parachutes and life jackets!" a lieutenant commander yelled in the distance
"Tower! I'm Guardian 05. Request to take off. " A pilot is ready for everything. The roar of the engine comes into his ears through the cockpit. He calls for the tower and points his nose at the runway in front of him.
"This is the tower. You are allowed to take off!" The sound of the tower came from the headphones.
"Tower! I'm Guardian 01! Please take off Another plane was obviously ready and began to slide to another runway. Just beside him, guardian 05 fighter plane had already soared, and it took less than 7 minutes to sound the air defense alarm from the airport.
The two military airports near Wilhelm harbor are one of the most elite fighter forces in Germany. Their combat effectiveness is not even equal to that of the fighter brigade stationed in Berlin, so their reaction speed is amazing. In order to ensure the absolute safety of his fleet base, akado used all his strength to build the whole William harbor like an iron bucket.
At least 30 of these Air Force fighters are on duty every day, that is to say, there are at least 30 pilots and 30 aircraft on the airport ready to attack at any time. These aircraft will be filled with fuel, loaded with ammunition, ready to be on the runway side of the airport - of course, this time, because the enemy aircraft seems to be not small, so some unprepared fighters have taken off temporarily. Different from the front-line fighter units, the front-line fighter units are generally equipped with 30mm caliber machine guns and 13mm caliber machine guns, which are designed to fight for air supremacy; The interceptor fw-190 fighter deployed in the German airport is equipped with 30mm caliber machine gun and 20mm caliber machine gun, which is specially designed to meet the bombers. Akkado, however, has learned the power of strategic bombers in groups. He knows that this is a cruel combat mode that turns air combat into artillery bombardment. Bombers rely on large caliber self-defense weapons and dense formation to gain the advantage of air positional warfare. German bombers are only equipped with 7. 92 mm machine gun fighters suffered a lot in the early stage. So this time, akador has prepared qualified interceptors for the German Air Force ahead of time. In terms of firepower, akador has surpassed the world's mainstream bombers at this stage. He can completely use large caliber machine guns to deal with the British bombers now - of course, the German air force still has the killer mace of rockets“ The enemy aircraft intruded into the airspace of Port William. The estimated time of arrival is five minutes. Please prepare all anti-aircraft gun positions for attack. " In Port William, the sound of a warning reverberated from a radio horn. Carrier based aircraft have been taking off for a long time, and 20 naval fighters have been launched to intercept it a few minutes ago“ Hello? I'm lutjans! Why didn't Navy patrol destroyers give early warning? yes! I'll contact the three destroyers on patrol immediately and ask them why they didn't provide long-range warning! " In the port office, the commander of the high seas fleet, lutjans, was furious over the phone“ what? The Navy's two destroyers did not find the enemy aircraft invasion, the other destroyer returned last night because of failure? Why not report such a serious problem in advance? "Ah?" It was obvious that the problem had been found on the other side of the telephone, so lutjans had a bigger temper“ presentation! Our fighters have exchanged fire with each other's planes. Obviously, the enemy did not expect us to find them so soon, so our surprise attack was very smooth. The enemy's bombers are not escorted by fighters. Now we have achieved the result of shooting down three enemy planes. " An officer came in to report“ Keep an eye on the situation over there, and don't let any enemy aircraft fly into William's military harbor! Get the damn officer on duty and the captain of the destroyer back! I don't want to see such a fool again—— Explain the situation to general Ryder, and if he agrees, carry it out immediately! "“ presentation! The intercepting force of the air force has arrived, and our army is superior in strength. The other side has a total of 40 bombers, and now 13 of them have been shot down. The formation of the other side has been disrupted, and they are continuing to attack! " Another officer came and reported the battle in the sky. The former German official who went out rushed back. His face was relaxed and he stood at attention with a smile: "long live the Fuehrer! general. 40 British bombers were shot down by our army. Only one of them flew over the harbor and was shot down by the anti-aircraft artillery. The rest 39 were shot down by our navy and the air force. " Lutjans took a deep breath, as if exhausted all his strength, and sat down on the sofa beside him. At this time, he found that his left hand was still shaking. He took out the handkerchief in his pocket, wiped the sweat on his face, and whispered, "finally, I have lived up to the cultivation of the Fuehrer."“ Are you all right, general? " An officer asked softly“ It's OK. " Said lutjans, waving his hand. But in the heart actually is scolding: all right? How could it be okay? My fleet is so docked in the military harbor. If the British find a chance, I will not commit suicide and the Fuehrer will have to hang me! If the battleship is nothing, it's not necessarily something with thick skin. It's an aircraft carrier! That's an aircraft carrier! It's going to take at least a few months to repair. What can I tell the head of state if the power outage plan is delayed?
