Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

At the beginning of World War II in the original time and space, the German team that swept across Europe with thunder was eyeing the British and even formulated the "Sea Lion Plan" to invade Britain. However, blocked by the English Channel, Germany must carry out sea and air amphibious operations. However, the German naval strength at that time was unable to compete with the British army in terms of quality and quantity. Therefore, British senior officials judged that the German army's first task was to seize air supremacy.

The British had three strategies to choose from: One was to dominate the air and dispatch bombers to destroy German combat aircraft on the ground. With the strength of the British army at the time, it was unable to complete this offensive strategy. The second is to dominate the air. The aircraft patrols continuously, which will consume a lot of manpower and material resources and is a typical passive defense. The third is to use the ground to control the air. Take advantage of local combat advantages, optimize the allocation and dispatch of various resources, and seize the initiative in air combat; obviously the third method is more suitable for the British national conditions.

The UK is confident in choosing to "control the air with ground". Britain was the first country to invent and widely use radar. Radar is one of the important pieces of equipment that helped Britain achieve victory in air combat. As early as 1937, Britain's first radar intelligence center was completed. Subsequently, the United Kingdom established 29 radar stations on the east and south coasts and established a chain radar early warning system. According to air defense deployment, the British mainland is divided into six air defense zones, and each air defense zone is composed of several air defense zones. The air defense zone has a combat brigade responsible for air defense duty in two to seven sectors.

The Battle of Britain embodied the rudiments of information warfare. The radar station collects air situation information and reports it to the radar intelligence center. After aggregating information from each radar station, a British mainland air defense situation map is formed. The commander starts from the overall situation and allocates combat resources based on the actual air situation. Under the guidance of radar, the British army only needs to deploy 1/3 of its fighter jets in the southern region, and the remaining air forces are dispersed in the central and northern regions of the UK as air defense reserves. This can not only form an echelon of defense space, but also strengthen it. Local air defense forces can effectively improve regional air defense efficiency. Radar makes the British Air Force's battlefield perception capabilities more timely and powerful, achieving one-way transparency in the air battlefield.

In the early stages of the air battle, the German offensive focused on destroying British radar stations and airfields. The British army's primary task is to test the radar's early warning capabilities and explore ways for radar to guide fighter aircraft to achieve air interception. At this stage, both sides have their own gains and losses in the air battle. For the Germans, on August 15, 1940, German air raids hit radar stations at Dover, Pevensey, Rye and Ventnor in southern England, causing the radars to stop working. However, the Germans did not use this attack to expand their results. On August 30, six radar stations in five air defense districts were destroyed, and the radar network in southern England was on the verge of collapse. The British Air Force experienced its worst day in the Battle of Britain.

The UK has summed up experience and lessons in actual combat and continuously improved its radar early warning capabilities. On July 11, 1940, a radar station detected an unknown number of airborne objects. The air defense division commander dispatched six "Hurricane" fighter planes to intercept, and found that the air situation was a fleet of 40 fighters and bombers. Since then, the British Air Force has refined the radar air situation warning and reported the number of German aircraft together in order to reasonably and effectively deploy combat aircraft. Churchill was well aware of the importance of radar. He emphasized: "We must pay as much attention to the promising field of radar as we give priority to the Air Force." It can be seen that radar technology played a decisive role at that time.

Just as the Battle of Britain was intensifying, the German intelligence department learned that although the British radar network was severely damaged, it still emitted radiation signals. Based on this, it was believed that the core part of the British radar station was located underground and was not affected by air strikes and could operate normally. . Misled by intelligence, the Germans stopped bombing British radar stations.

In Yannick's opinion, this is simply a pig-like decision.

However, at this time, because the German fighter jets surpassed the British fighter jets in number and performance, the British Air Force became a coward, and Yannick paid little attention to the British radar. As they were about to attack the British mainland in a few days, Yannick decided to destroy the British air defense radar first.

Although the radar distribution of the British army is top secret, and even the German intelligence agency has only found out about a few of them, it is only a small problem for Yannick who has traveled from the future. After all, in the military information released in later generations, the British themselves carefully marked the radar during World War II on the map.

"Air defense warning! Air defense warning! German planes are invading! German planes are invading on a large scale!" The radar soldier, who was staring at the radar screen intently, sounded the alarm feebly. The signals on the radar screen were jumping together, showing that there were a large number of reflected signals and that they were approaching the British mainland.

But what about setting off an alarm? These days German fleets visit almost every day.

Even if their radar stations issued warnings in time, the Air Force would not take off to fight, allowing the German fleet to drop batches of bombs, destroying every British city. Not to mention the air force, even the anti-aircraft artillery units on the ground have stopped firing these days. Basically, the German military aircraft fleet can come and go freely, which is easier than visiting relatives' houses.

"I know, let's record it." The radar officer on duty sighed and gave the same feeble order. General Dowding said that unless the German fleet was approaching London, there would be no need to report it. But I heard that London was almost destroyed by German artillery shells and missiles, so why should we be afraid of bombers?

Just as he closed his eyes and prepared to rest for a while, the radar soldier reported again. "Sir, you'd better come and take a look. The German Air Force's flight formation is in chaos. They seem to have dispersed!"

"Huh?" The radar officer quickly walked to the radar screen and saw that the fluctuations on the radar screen were very abnormal. "They dispersed? How could they disperse here?" According to the radar display, these German aircraft groups had just arrived at the British coastline and were far away from inland cities. How could they disperse here? !

Just when the radar officer was hesitant to report the abnormal situation to Dowding, there was a violent explosion not far away, and then the radar screen was filled with white dots and nothing could be seen.

"What's going on?!" Huge vibrations penetrated the thick cement wall of the radar station, and the radar officer clearly felt the floor beneath his feet shaking.

Are the Germans bombing? !

But this place is deserted for several miles, and there are only well-camouflaged radar antennas on the ground. How could the Germans...

Boo!

Before he could think about it, a huge aerial bomb slammed through the roof of the radar station and stuck directly on the floor not far from the radar officer.

"!!" The radar officer felt as if his heart had suddenly stopped beating, and he watched stiffly as the delay device on the bomb slowly stopped rotating.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a violent explosion, a powerful shock wave accompanied by blazing flames swept through the entire radar station, destroying everything it touched.
