Chapter 1328： A reborn void

Slide 1328

From the end of the last battle until the start of the Polish Pocket Battle, the Bavarian Army and the entire Eastern Front Army did not launch a large-scale offensive for 4 months. They are reserving their energy and being trained and equipped with new weapons. This period of time has been enough for the Bavarian Legion, which was not very worn out, to restore them to their best condition and have made considerable progress in scale and quality.

This is true for the Army, and even more so for the Air Force! The army suffered a certain degree of losses in the original Western Front campaign, and the air force was in a much better condition than the army. At the beginning of the thin line, the British and French air forces were still weak, but when the productivity came up, new technology began. Widely used, when all kinds of evildoers were in full bloom, the Bavarian Air Force had moved to the Eastern Front. And the Russian Air Force, you know... Except that the Ilya bomber once caused some minor troubles to the prince's eagles, the rest of the process can be described as Tyson hitting the pupils....

If this land warfare can be regarded as a test for the Germans on the Eastern Front, then for the current air force, suppressing the remaining Russian air force is no different from carrying out an armed parade, so the air force decided to do something more meaningful. ——Try some new tactics and get familiar with the new weapons in your hands.

During the battle, it is normal for each other's equipment to fall into the hands of the opponent and to be cracked and studied. In the ongoing battle, the Germans also received gifts from their opponents, and learned experience and skills from them. For example, the new Victory V12 engine equipped by the British. The initial version of this engine has an output of up to 375 horsepower. This power has almost crushed the record of all aircraft engines in all countries except the United Kingdom, despite this performance In the UK, it can only be counted as second rate.

However, after getting no less than 8 or more complete engines, (removed from the downed British bombers and fighter jets.) Plus equipment such as intercoolers and carburetors that are considered to be against the sky After that, the new DB203 engine produced by Bavaria Airlines and Daimler-Benz successfully increased the power to about 425 horsepower.

Although purely from the power point of view, there is still a certain distance from the final 500-horsepower version of the V1500 in history, but that is not because the technology can’t reach it, but because the weight is relatively small. After all, what Bavaria wants is a version that can be installed at the same time. Engines on fighters and bombers to increase production capacity and logistical support capabilities. If it is to be used on a fighter jet, wind resistance must be considered. The front is not easy to be too large, and the requirements for the power-to-weight ratio are relatively high. And because of the supercharger, the aircraft's operating height has been greatly improved. High-altitude performance stabilized British aircraft.

It is precisely because of the rest period on the Eastern Front in winter that the Bavarian Air Force has sufficient time and ability to fully digest its technological fruits and transform them into actual productive forces. J-, who made great contributions to the German Empire in the war last year. The Type 1 fighter is on the verge of discontinuation. (At least in Bavaria.) Because the body is too small to accommodate larger engines and more weapons.

The Air Force is currently being replaced with the J-3 Falcon fighter, which is equipped with a 400-horsepower DB203A engine. It is still a biplane, with a length of 7.2 meters and a height of 2.65 meters. The wings spread out 9.2 meters. The maximum flight speed exceeds 220 kilometers per hour. The maximum service ceiling is increased to 6,500 meters.

In order to deal with more and more British bombers, this aircraft has re-optimized its weapon system, with a 20MM cannon passing through the center of the engine shaft. The structure of the new 20MM machine gun is similar to the historical Oerlikon FF machine gun, but it uses 20MM*99MM shells. The rate of fire is about 250 to 300 rounds per minute. According to the Air Force's test of this artillery, in terms of killing effect, a 20-gun can hold at least 3 to 4 12.7MM machine guns. (The relationship between the firepower of 20mm machine guns and 50 machine guns in this second war is almost the same standard. Don't believe the rumors that a 20 gun is equal to 1.5 machine guns. That is nonsense. Don't think that the Americans will not be brain-dead.)

At the same time, there are also 2 12.7MM machine guns or 7.92MM machine guns on the sides of the wings as secondary weapons. Because of the improvement of engine performance, this J-3 aircraft can also take into account certain ground attack missions. Under the condition of guaranteed range, it can carry bombs or other weapons of no more than 200KG to perform bombing and ground suppression. For example, carrying a cannon pod. In the middle and late stages of the war, there have been combat records of J-3 fighters carrying 20MM machine gun pods or 12.7MM machine gun pods repeatedly strafing ground targets in a range for a long time. According to the response of ground forces, a large number of machine guns fired at the ground very well for suppressing lightly armored targets. And because of the increased firepower, these J-3 aircraft have the ability to deal with medium and large bombers.

With the emergence of 20MM machine guns, another beneficiary is the original Tracer. They have more powerful weapons. The 4 12.7MM machine guns on the nose were removed and replaced with 3 20MM machine guns after being lengthened. Machine cannon. After the engine was replaced, the new K-4M interceptor known as the Long-nosed Tracer directly changed its waist and became a real giant killer! Of course, in the later stage, the duties of the infantry killer and the car terminator are also part-time in the latter stage. Carry bombs and machine guns to attack the ground. It is called the bullet sprayer and the rapid bomb truck in the air by the logistics personnel of the Allies.

Of course, whether it is a J-3 fighter or an improved K-4M bomber They and the real brand new bomber K-6 bomber are absolutely insignificant than that, the latest improvement of this aircraft It is larger than the British FB27 bomber.

The length of the fuselage is 15 meters, the wings are expanded 20.5 meters, the height of the aircraft is 5 meters, the empty weight is 3800 kg, the maximum take-off weight is 6500 kg, and the maximum bomb load reaches 1400 kg. The pylon located in the middle of the belly can carry a 750KG torpedo or bomb. If it is an improved special model, it is possible to carry a 1000kg bomb.

The aircraft has a total of 6 crew members, a total of 3 machine gun towers, equipped with 6 large-caliber machine guns. One in the nose, a backward machine gun tower, and a machine gun tower in the belly. At the same time, to ensure the safety of the pilots, some armors were also installed on the aircraft. Although it is not like getting an armored box like the later B17, it does guarantee the survival rate of the pilot. After all, the British do not have large-caliber machine guns, let alone the terrible 20MM machine guns, and the British are still using 7.7MM machine guns. There is no sign of a massive increase in firepower.
