Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

Chapter 866 Anti-aircraft Gun

"Look at these poor guys." The bombardiers on the B-52 bombers couldn't help laughing as they looked at the P-51 fighter formation below them. "It's great to just stay on the ground. Are you going to humiliate yourself by flying up here? It's like you're escorting us."

The driver laughed. "Let them feel what despair means." At this time, their flying speed was 500 kilometers per hour. As the driver increased the throttle, the speed gradually increased, 550...600...650...exceeded 700 kilometers per hour.

"This this!"

The P-51 fighter pilots below watched dumbfounded as the bomber overhead gradually accelerated, surpassing them by a long way. "Oh God! How is it possible!" The bomber was actually faster than the fighter jet? Everyone increased the accelerator in unison, and soon their speed reached 650 kilometers per hour, but the distance between the two sides was still widening rapidly, which showed that the bomber's speed had exceeded 700 kilometers per hour, and even reached 750 kilometers per hour.

Shocked, they immediately sent the news back to the rear.

Commander Arnold didn't even know what expression to put on. The performance of this jet was too abnormal, wasn't it? The speed actually exceeded their fighter jets? This is the latest model of fighter jet from the United States!

"It seems that the future is the age of jets." Commander Arnold sighed melancholy. Of course, he also knew that the United States' aviation technology lagged behind Europe, but he did not expect that the gap between the two sides had grown so wide. Such a gap How to make up for it? !

Just as Commander Arnold sighed, news came again that the bomber was heading straight for Washington.

"Damn it!" German bombers have not come since the deployment of 150mm anti-aircraft guns around Washington. How can this bomber dare to come? !

But he didn't care much and immediately ordered someone to sound the air defense siren.

The shrill air-raid sirens rang across the sky above Washington, and everyone in the base (because the White House and Pentagon were almost destroyed by the bombing, and high-level government officials have been working and living in military bases on the outskirts of Washington) could not help but be stunned. "What's going on?" I haven't heard the air raid siren for several days, why did it sound again? A German bomber?

Of course, who else but German bombers!

In desperation, everyone returned to the basement again, where a group of senior executives gathered in the conference room.

"Commander Arnold, why did you sound the air defense siren again? Could it be another German bomber?" It couldn't be that Commander Arnold sounded the air defense siren to scare everyone just for fun, right? But aren’t the Germans quite afraid of those 150mm caliber anti-aircraft guns? How dare they come?

"It is indeed a German bomber." Commander Arnold sighed. "It's a new bomber."

"Another new bomber?" The expressions on everyone's faces were a little ugly. The Germans also have too many new bombers. How many new fighters have the Germans developed since the outbreak of the war? "How many came?"

"There's just one. It may be a German experimental aircraft. It's jet-powered."

"Jet? What is that?" Most people here don't know what the so-called jet is.

After listening to Commander Arnold's explanation, everyone was silent for a while, which meant that the German aircraft had been upgraded from piston to jet and entered another field.

"Where did these damn Germans come from so much advanced technology!" I don't know who it was, but he muttered depressedly. The Germans' advanced technology is simply endless!

"Is God really on the side of the Germans?" Some people recalled the rumors circulated two years ago, saying that the German Crown Prince had received guidance from God. At that time, everyone regarded it as a ridiculous joke, but now the situation seems like God is really on the side of the Germans.

The Vice President asked, shaking his head and ignoring the absurdity. "Can our anti-aircraft guns shoot it down?"

Commander Arnold was a little unsure. "It may be a little difficult. The bomber's flying speed has exceeded 750 kilometers per hour."

At this time, the B-52 in the sky was approaching the outskirts of Washington, and the navigator spoke. "If the intelligence is correct, there is an American 150mm anti-aircraft gun position two hundred kilometers ahead. I heard that it can shoot to a height of 16,000 meters."

The driver said relaxedly. "Then we will rise to 17,000 meters."

In the radar station on the ground air defense position, the radar soldiers stared closely at the radar screen. The radar technology of the United States is also far behind that of Germany. Germany's radar has used flat scanning imaging + color display; while the radar of the United States is still a very primitive black and white oscilloscope. Only very experienced radar soldiers can find out the chaotic waveforms. The desired target echo.

Suddenly, the radar soldier exclaimed. "Report, the altitude of the German bomber exceeds 16,000 meters and is still rising; the speed exceeds 800 kilometers per hour!"

"What?!" The officer on the side was shocked. He quickly walked to the radar screen and carefully observed the waveform text pointed by the radar soldier. The altitude of the German bomber was close to 17,000 meters.

He immediately sent this data to the anti-aircraft gun position, and the commander of the anti-aircraft gun position looked at the data recorded by the communication troops in stunned silence and muttered. "How can we stop this?" The flying altitude of the German bombers alone has exceeded the range of their anti-aircraft guns. How can we stop them? "Report immediately!"

Hearing the news from the anti-aircraft gun position, the atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly dull.

Someone suggested. "Can our anti-aircraft guns be improved to hit an altitude of 17,000 meters?"

"When will the German bombers fly at an altitude of 20,000 meters?" This kind of thing has happened before. At first, they thought that the German ME-264D bombers could only fly at an altitude of 12,000 meters. However, they confidently sent out high-altitude fighter jets. Suddenly it reached an altitude of 14,000 meters.

Now this bomber is flying at an altitude of 17,000 meters. When their anti-aircraft guns can hit 17,000 meters, will it fly to an altitude of 20,000 meters? Although it is incredible to think about the altitude of 20,000 meters, who can guarantee that the Germans can't do it?

It would be better to directly develop an anti-aircraft gun that can effectively shoot up to 20,000 meters.

Hearing what these people said to each other about developing an anti-aircraft gun that could shoot up to 20,000 meters, Commander Arnold couldn't help but let out a wry smile. Do these people think that anti-aircraft guns can be developed just by talking? This 150mm caliber anti-aircraft gun also took a lot of effort to succeed. What caliber is needed to reach an altitude of 20,000 meters? 180mm or 200mm

He coughed slightly, interrupting everyone's discussion. "Everyone, there is no need to think about anti-aircraft guns with a shooting height of 20,000 meters. Even if they can be successfully developed, the war will be over by then. We have now lost the ability to protect the airspace, at least unable to protect the entire airspace." The German ME-264 bomber We are wary of the 150MM anti-aircraft gun, but once this jet bomber is put into mass production, the 150MM anti-aircraft gun will be completely useless.
