The decisive battle against the Third Reich

Early the next morning, Colonel Conrad asked his men to prepare the instruments and sighting systems.

The instrument was placed in the cellar. On the one hand, it was worried about being bombarded by the Soviets. On the other hand, the instrument had not passed the severe cold test, and the pointers and other things might be frozen... Although Holm at this time was relatively different from before. It's much warmer, but it's still over ten degrees below zero in the morning.

Placed outdoors is a radio transmitter and receiver that looks like an iron pot. Obviously, the receiver is used to receive signals, and the radio transmitter is used to send commands to V1.

"During this period, we have made a series of improvements to V1!" Conrad said to Qinchuan while debugging the instrument with his subordinates: "Its range can already reach 250 kilometers. This time, we are at a distance of It was launched from Luskov, about two hundred kilometers away!”

"How many have you prepared?" Qin Chuan asked.

"The first batch of ten!" Conrad replied: "We need to airlift them to Luskov, then set up the launcher and make some preliminary preparations..."

"Oh!" Conrad added as if he remembered something: "Speaking of which, we have also completed the retractable vehicle-mounted launcher, but as you know, it cannot be transported by air, so we can only transport it in Lusko Husband build the launcher!”

Qin Chuan nodded to express his understanding. At this moment, he understood why Conrad only arrived at Holm on the third day.

"I hope the Soviets don't know you are here!" Qin Chuan said, "Otherwise they will have even more reason to launch a strong attack!"

Conrad smiled and replied: "Is there any better reason than the 'Legendary Sergeant'? I heard they have already launched an assassination attempt on you!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said, "Guess they succeeded?"

Colonel Conrad couldn't help laughing: "I bet they didn't succeed!"

"No, they succeeded!" Qin Chuan replied: "At least they thought they succeeded!"

"Oh?" Conrad nodded: "So, we are going to let them taste the flame of our revenge, don't you think so, Captain!" (Note: V1 means Revenge Weapon No. 1)

"Ready!"

"Ready!"

…

Then the countdown began. Of course, this was a synchronized countdown at the Luskov launch point. Conrad was also holding on to time in order to use the time to calculate the ballistic trajectory and the distance between the missile and the target.

"emission!"

The correspondent reported at the same time: "The launch was successful, everything is normal!"

"Everything is normal, speed 189, altitude 281!"

"Everything is normal, speed 371, altitude 592!"

…

"Do you know?" Conrad said to Qin Chuan during this period: "We have a plan to build a larger 'target drone' so that it can hold more fuel and fly longer distances!"

Qin Chuan nodded to express his understanding. This was normal. Because Braun was here, he would even build a rocket to fly to the moon in the future, so of course he would not be satisfied with the current range of only more than two hundred kilometers.

Then Qinchuan and Conrad didn't say anything more, because Conrad had to constantly track the position of V1 during this period. Perhaps because V1 was not very adaptable to the extremely cold weather in the Soviet Union, so during the few minutes of flight It deviated from the trajectory twice. Fortunately, it returned to the trajectory after inputting the command to adjust.

Ten minutes, fifteen minutes...

Conrad pulled Qin Chuan out of the cellar, raised his telescope and looked to the west.

At first I saw nothing, but soon a small white dot appeared, and Conrad shouted: "Here it comes!"

The white dots were getting bigger and bigger, and it soon became clear that the white dots were not small white dots, but the exhaust gas emitted by the V1 rear engine. The flames burning in the air at more than ten degrees below zero were particularly obvious, behind the scenes. It left a long trail.

Then, I finally saw what V1 looked like... Although it was no stranger to Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan had never seen it fly to its target.

"Stop the engine!" Conrad ordered.

The flames disappeared, and V1 made its final glide in the air like a glider.

After a few more seconds of observation and calculation, Conrad ordered: "Dive!"

So V1 plunged down like a kite with its string broken... The target was very clear, which was the west bank of the Lovaj River below.

Then there was a loud "boom", and a ball of flames burst into the sky on the west bank of the Lovaj River... As mentioned before, the V1 missile contained 830 kilograms of explosives. This charge is equivalent to 120 155MM pieces. The explosive charge of the caliber shells caused a small mushroom cloud to explode like a small nuclear bomb in a movie. Even the location where Qin Chuan and others were located could clearly feel the vibration.

The German camp immediately burst into cheers. In fact, most of them knew what was going on... Many people did see the V1, but everyone thought it was a small plane, but this small plane It crashed into the Soviet camp and exploded violently.

In short, the violent explosion in the Soviet camp was certainly a good thing for the German army.

After a while, they heard that this weapon was newly developed by Germany, and they couldn't help but cheered again.

This is no small matter for the Soviet army... This V1 missile hit a wind mill with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters on the West Bank. With a "boom", the entire mill turned into ruins, and a company hiding inside to avoid the cold None of the soldiers could escape.

Pukaev, who was sleeping next to the stove, was startled by the loud noise. He hurried to the scene of the incident with his guards and saw... The mill had been razed to the ground.

"What's going on?" Pukayev asked Matevich: "Is it a cannonball? Or a bomb?"

Pukayev preferred aerial bombs because no artillery shells could be so powerful.

"It doesn't seem to be the case, Comrade Pukaev!" Matevich replied cautiously: "Some soldiers saw it was a small plane!"

"Small plane?" Pukayev couldn't help but frowned. Another meaning of this was the Germans' new equipment.

After thinking about it, Pukayev said: "No, your soldiers must have been dazzled, it was a bomb!"

"Yes, Comrade Pukaev!" Matevich is a smart man, and of course he knows what Pukaev means... Soldiers are born with a fear of unknown equipment, and they will not let the Soviet army lose because of this. Morale was even worse.

But even though he said this to the outside world, as soon as he returned to the headquarters, Pukayev angrily ordered: "Find out immediately what it is, and there are all other things we don't know about!"

"Comrade Pukaev!" Matevitch said after thinking for a while: "Maybe we can ask the British, they may know what this is!"
