Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 359 Air Combat (1)
The "state-of-the-art" radar that the British are proud of is just a very primitive product in the eyes of the Germans today.
Compared with the small Eiffel Tower-like antenna in the UK, the German radar antenna is only one-third the size, but the detection range is far three times that of the British radar. Moreover, the German radar uses the most "fashionable" PPI display, which can display the target's orientation and distance at the same time using only one display. Compared with the traditional A-type display, the image of the PPI display is more intuitive and easy to interpret. It is more effective against targets coming from multiple directions.
In the newly built secret radar station in the Calais area, a radar soldier was drinking cooling and refreshing iced coffee, but his eyes were fixed on the radar display without relaxing.
After all, the radar soldier's job is to stare at the screen and watch the aircraft. Look at the enemy planes that may invade, our military fighter planes, and various civilian aircraft that deviate. The reason for cooling down and refreshing is that these radar soldiers wear thick protective clothing made of lead and copper wire fabrics. The breathability of this thing is a bit unflattering, the insulation is very good, and it is a bit stuffy even in winter.
However, radar soldiers' regulations clearly stipulate that radar soldiers must wear this kind of protective clothing while on duty, because Yannick knew that during World War II, infertility, hair loss, and cataracts were found to be occupational diseases among radar soldiers. People who work with radio frequency often suffer from adverse effects such as neurasthenia, irritability, irritability, hair loss and excessive sweating, irregular menstruation in women, decline in sexual function, and reduced or increased numbers of white blood cells and red blood cells in the blood.
The total number of radar soldiers in Germany is not very large. Of course, Yannick will not watch these soldiers who serve the country suffer from such occupational diseases. First, the working hours of radar soldiers were greatly reduced and a four-shift system was adopted. Each radar soldier only needs to work 6 hours a day. And every corner of each radar station is filled with plants that can protect against radiation. Coupled with the multi-nutritional diet specially customized for radar soldiers, radar soldiers in Germany are the most comfortable among all military services.
The cold coffee flowed down his esophagus and into his stomach, and the pores on his body seemed to shrink, making him shiver uncontrollably and instantly becoming more energetic. "Did you hear? London was bombed by us."
The engineer who was watering the plants said disapprovingly. "Hey, I've heard it before. What kind of news is this? And to be precise, it's not bombing, it's 'bombing'. We bombarded London with cannons. If you have time, go to Area B13 and take a look. The cannons are along the hillside. It’s so spectacular if it’s laid out there.”
"It's amazing. This cannon should be called the 'London Cannon', right?" After all, the cannon that attacked Paris in the last war was named the "Paris Cannon", so the cannon that hit London this time should also be called the "London Cannon" Cannon" right?
"Logically, it should be called that, but His Highness has already named it 'V3 Cannon'. I guess no one will call it another name."
"Your Highness is really..." Just as he said this, he suddenly noticed an unknown light spot on the radar. "Something's happening! A fleet of planes taking off from the UK!" As he spoke, he quickly grabbed the intercom on the side. "Station B, station B. This is station A. Is there any reaction on your radar?"
After receiving the confirmation, the radar soldier grabbed the radio and shouted loudly. "Station A called the tower, station A called the tower. The radar showed a large number of aircraft taking off from the British mainland. Their flight direction was Calais."
A steady reply came from the earphones. "Tower received. How many enemy planes are there?"
"The first batch has more than 200 aircraft, with a height of about 6,000; the second batch has more than 100 aircraft, with a height of about 5,000."
"It seems they are here to bomb the V3 cannon?" the engineer muttered, looking at the dense dots of light displayed on the radar. "What a bunch of idiots. Don't they want to think about how we can have no defense force since we dare to set up the launch base here?"
The radar man shrugged. "What else? They can only sit and be bombarded by cannons."
"I say the wisest thing to do is to surrender immediately."
"If they can surrender, they have to surrender after the Battle of Dunkirk."
"Woo...! Woo...!" Just as the two lamented the British's ignorance of current affairs, accompanied by the shrill siren, the pilots who had already prepared for departure quickly climbed into their own planes, and one after another was dispatched by the tower. One took off to prepare to meet the invading enemy plane.
The air defense force here has at least 30 aircraft on combat readiness duty every day, which means that there are at least 30 pilots and 30 aircraft at the airport ready to attack at any time. These combat-ready aircraft will be filled with fuel, loaded with ammunition and ready to be on the runway side of the airport.
The air defense positions on the ground are also making final preparations in an orderly manner. The slender barrel has been pointed by the artillerymen in the direction of the enemy plane's incoming attack. The loader pushed the shell into the barrel. The observer standing aside looked at the distant sky with a telescope. Germany does not yet have a perfect fire control radar. , anti-aircraft firepower still requires manual command.
Navy torpedo boats and destroyers also sailed out of the port one after another, preparing to rescue pilots who parachuted into the water.
Sitting in his Spitfire, British pilot Albert felt the spectacle of friendly forces around him. The fighter jets next to him stretched as far as the eye could see, and there seemed to be no end in sight. This was the first time he had seen so many fighter jets, and it gave him some confidence in this escort mission.
Moreover, the Spitfire they drove was upgraded and replaced with a new Merlin XII engine; this engine has 1,175 horsepower. Unlike the all-ethylene glycol coolant used in previous Merlin engines, the Merlin XII uses a 7:3 mixture ratio of water-glycol coolant. A new special propeller was also designed. The propeller-engine combination allows their fighter jets to exceed 600 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 5,000 meters.
Another improvement was the installation of rear-view mirrors, which were later replaced by simpler square-shaped adjustable rear-view mirrors.
New radios were installed, which allowed pilots to hear commands more clearly to maintain formation.
All this made him feel that he could compete with the Germans now.
Unfortunately, there are always a few illusions in life. If Albert could travel to the future, he would find that these Spitfire MKIIs are no match for the German BF109F. It was not until the Spitfire MKV entered service that it gradually overcame the BF109 series of fighters.
The most important thing is that this time the German army sent more than just BF109F fighter jets.
"Be careful! Be careful! Enemy plane found! Prepare to fight!" A message alerting them came from Albert's earphones.
Albert shook his joystick slightly and looked at the clouds in the distance through the cabin glass. There, the first German fighter jet had torn through the white clouds and rushed out menacingly.
With sharp eyes, he suddenly realized that it was not the German BF109. Just by looking at the big nipple-like nose, he knew that it was not the water-cooled engine of the BF109, but a new fighter equipped with an air-cooled engine!
