Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 59: launch

Hold the joystick with both legs, take off the leather glove of the right hand, stick out the thumb with a little spittle, and wipe the stain on the corner of the reflective lens of the revi12 optical sight.

"Dark and sticky, like a dead bug, he didn't notice it before taking off." Lieutenant Rulf Allen wondered.

Although this little stain will not affect the aiming and combat at all, it can't be seen in the eyes. It's very annoying. If you don't wipe it off, the lieutenant always feels uncomfortable.

"Well, it's clean." The second lieutenant looked at the sight that was restored to clean again, and then began to work hard to pull the handkerchief from his pocket, and the thumb had to be wiped clean.

"Black No. 7, what are you busy with?" A long phone call came from the headset.

Allen quickly turned to look forward to the left, and saw the pilot pilot leaning his head to look at himself. "The sight has some stains and has been cleaned." Allen quickly pressed the throat microphone and reported loudly.

"Watch out for the formation, black number 7."

"Understood." Alan wiped her thumb in a hurry, put the handkerchief back into the leg pocket of the flight pants, then put on leather gloves and grasped the joystick again.

"Ah, the weather is really good. I hope it doesn't rain on the birthday at the end of the month." Looking at the clean mirror, Lieutenant Allen was in a good mood, the clouds were white, and the sunlight was a little brighter than before.

The second lieutenant turned his head to look at the plane, adjusted the position of both sides slightly, and then looked to the right side of the cabin. The other two four-machine formations in the squadron flew steadily beside him.

The 54th Flying Wing was almost sent out this time. The three brigades removed the necessary airport reserve team. The mighty 80 me109s and fifty four-finger formations were arranged in a wavy line. It became a huge three-dimensional square matrix.

Allen and his four-machine formation are in avant-garde position. His long machine is Lieutenant Colonel Wolfgang, the technical officer of the wing, and the identification mark of the technical officer fold line and circle is painted in front of the Iron Cross machine emblem. The wing commander, the brave Colonel Hans Trout, took the lead and took his four-plane formation to the forefront of the entire fleet.

In the left wing of the phalanx, there is a large formation composed of a missing formation of the jg52 fighter wing and a formation of the jg77 fighter wing, and the number has reached as many as 60.

At the top and rear of the large aircraft group, is the third group of the famous jg26 fighter wing. Their dazzling captain Mickey Mouse Garland led a 40-aircraft formation that is accelerating to fly over the aircraft group, and one kilometer ahead After that, he began to turn around, and then passed diagonally at high speed through the air group. After reaching the side about one kilometer, it turned back to the upper back of the group again, and then repeated it again.

This is the new **** tactic formulated by the headquarters. The headquarters named this **** tactic "bee colony", which is very vivid because the **** fighters danced like a bee on the bomber formation all the way.

Yes, jg26 is escorting the "bomber fleet". Captain Allen turned his head hard and looked toward the tail from the gap on the side of the bulletproof steel plate. The thing was still there, dangling. The silver wing fluttered in a hurricane at 380 kilometers per hour.

It was a huge box-shaped tin foil kite with a length of six meters. The box-shaped outer frame bound nine complex rhombic tetrahedrons in a horizontal, vertical, and three-dimensional shape, tied by a ten-meter cable. Fighter bomb hanger. Fixed on a release hook. This thing is a magic prop that can turn a me109 into a he111. Command documents call it a towed wave angle reflector, and the pilot calls it a "cheater kite."

This thing can gather cluttered radar waves shining on it, and then reflect back. A strong feedback signal is displayed on the radar receiver, causing the radar soldier to misjudge the size and volume of the target. After a small fighter tows a corner reflector kite, the signal volume on the radar looks like a large aircraft, if it is from the route, speed and altitude. And the formation flight is carried out according to the parameters of the bomber in the formation gap, and the fighter fleet will become a bomber fleet on the radar.

This tactic was initially carried out by the group of birds who piloted the seized French fighter jets. Twenty-four fighters disguised as an unescorted bomber squadron and flew across the strait centerline at the cruising speed of Dornier 17 , The result successfully spurred a British six-machine Spitfire formation. Judging from the reaction of the British, they were completely dispatched according to the procedures for intercepting the unescorted bomber fleet. If they recognize the disguise of the fighter, there will definitely be only two teams dispatched.

After confirming the success of the experiment, the bird egg team turned around and returned before the arrival of the British fighter. A corresponding fighter squadron had already taken off and moved along the coastline. If the British fighter squad dared to chase the strait, then don’t want to go back alive. In the end, the tired British did not choose to track, and the experiment was a complete success.

The same experiment was carried out several times, all mixed with feinting forces, which made the British fighter headquarters very nervous, the number of German bombers increased sharply, and the Germans must mobilize a new reserve from the country. The large-scale fleet has been moving back and forth across the strait, constantly crossing the center line of the strait, and some suddenly withdrew before approaching the coast. Sometimes, while the British fighters were exhausted, they suddenly drove straight into the defense gap and razed. Everything in the target zone then retreated, leaving behind a belated and exhausted British fighter pilot who roared in the air.

"See the coastline, black number 7, look directly below, that is the beluga whale you always wanted to see!" Lieutenant Colonel Wolfgang remembered in the headphones, and Allen's excited probe looked down against the cabin glass , He excitedly pressed his throat microphone: "Where is it? Where is the beluga whale? Ah, I saw it, sir. It's spectacular!"

Just two hundred meters directly below the fleet, a dazzling behemoth suspended in the air majesticly, surpassing the huge volume of people's visual imagination, elegant and concise lines, this guy is born with a dignified prestige.

The huge zeppelin is painted in light gray, with a large area of ​​pale blue and white camouflage camouflage in the middle. It looks like an air cruiser, and the five-story tail is painted with gray iron The cross badge is painted on the side with a one-person tactical number odw02 and a shield coat of arms.

The zeppelin lz127, according to the original history, was already dismantled into a pile of aluminum materials by Gorin’s stupidity and sent to the furnace of the Mercedes factory. But in this time and space, the Earl of Zeppelin was completely renewed, and the majestic floating in the sky over France, the reason for which, I don't need to explain more.

Now on the French coast, three huge zeppelins are responsible for the most important tasks in the entire air battle. This group of air monsters has become the key to the victory of the German Air Force in this battle.

The Earl of Zeppelin, the world-famous luxury airship, received the call number "Beluga" in the Air Force Command System. This 236-meter-long aerial beast has been completely converted into an aerial fortress. The back of the huge hard-shell hull is equipped with two quadruple 20-mm cannon guns, and a row of aluminum antenna towers are set up between the guns There are five rows of cables drawn directly from the tower to the tail. A watchtower protrudes from the waist, and a double-link gun nest is hung at each end of the watchtower.

The most eye-catching thing is the pod under the hull, which has been completely modified. The original huge aluminum pod is divided into two parts. The first cockpit is equipped with a streamlined sci-fi flower-shaped glass rectifier. The rear part of the cockpit is sunken, and two huge trapezoidal tower-shaped brackets hang a pot-shaped antenna with a diameter of eight meters. As the motor drives slowly, the rear pod volume is the cockpit Four times, a row of large and small windows was opened, and many angled and whip antennas were installed on the bottom and sides. The four famous Mercedes-Benz engine pods and huge four-blade propellers are now behind the pod. The propeller was stagnant, and six huge steel cables extended from the airship pod and the hull to the ground.

Allen looked back and looked down. There were many planes parked at the airport on the ground. Two little black spots had just left the runway and were climbing up.

The Zeppelin early warning airship, or aerial radar base station, relies on the improved version of the Wurzburg Headquarters trial-type radar suspended under a huge airship hovering at a height of two kilometers. The detection distance reached an amazing 200 kilometers, and the altitude error was less than One hundred meters, the distance error is less than five hundred meters. With the modified Freya long-range radar configured on the Earl of Zeppelin II and LZ131, the air radar network composed of three airships can cover an airspace of about two hundred kilometers, plus a row laid along the coast The shore-based radar station, the British Air Force's every move is in the hands of the German Air Force.

Under the monitoring of the airship radar, the Air Force Headquarters can obtain real-time basic information on the heading, altitude, speed, number, and type of aircraft formations of both the enemy and the enemy. Through the newly established command and communication system, it can command and command any squadron in the air. Fierce battlefield battle with the British Air Force.

"Pay attention to all! Heading 010, altitude 4,500, the mouse went out of the hole, all accelerated to climb and climb!" Colonel Troutt, the commander-in-chief, sounded in the earphones of all pilots.

Allen pushed the throttle gently, and the Messerschmitt fighter followed the long wing of the long plane and began to climb up slowly.

"Speed ​​up, unhook!" The commander of the brigade sent an order, and the fighters in the brigade successively opened the unhooking hooks, throwing away the kite behind them.

Directly in front, in the snow and white clouds under the sunlight, a dense black machine shadow was drilled out in three layers up and down, and changed quickly while approaching. Garland's third brigade flew across the fleet from the oblique rear, rushing towards the British fleet.

After many years, Colonel Allen, who has become a super ace, clearly remembers that day, the eagles flew and the clouds were burning. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and faster!
