Chapter 680: British radar station

"Ignite!" Kamler shouted loudly.
Following his order, at the rear of the missile launching vehicles, the missile that had been erected, sprayed a puff of white gas from the tail. With the sound of the turbo pump, fuel and oxidizer were injected into it. The engine, then, an orange flame came out from the bottom.
Two seconds later, the flame at the tail has stabilized, illuminating the entire dark launch position, and the missile's body, driven by the engine working at full power, began to slowly rise.
One, another, and more than a hundred missiles are launched together. This kind of scene is extremely magnificent and cannot be described in words. Only by standing in the surrounding open space can you feel this majestic. momentum.
Kamler was in it. He watched the missiles that took off. His heart was also flying with the missiles. The dark night sky was illuminated. When the missiles flew up, the hot tail flames caused Human eyes felt a burning pain.
The bright sky soon turned black again, and the flames gradually flew far away, and the brightness quickly weakened. It looked like a shooting star.
The first wave of German attacks started with missile attacks!
Dover, coastline.
When the expeditionary force was unable to withdraw from the opposite bank, the coastline on this side was already in a state of high alert. In order to prevent the infiltration of small German frogman troops, the bank on this side was always on high alert. The patrol team patrolled back and forth.
At the same time, some tall iron towers were urgently installed at a distance of about one kilometer behind the coastline.
There are a total of eight, four of which are 120 meters high. The top of these towers is equipped with a wide-angle transmitting antenna with a transmission power of 350 kilowatts.
At the same time, beside it, there is another group, a total of four 80-meter-high iron towers, on top of which are installed receiving antennas.
Yes, this system is the AMES-1 radar developed by British technicians and is mainly used for long-range detection.
Compared with later generations of radars, this device is still very primitive, especially. It cannot rotate the antenna for scanning, so it has to be installed on four large iron racks, and the transmitting and receiving antennas are separated and can only cover the front. 100 degree area.
100 degrees is enough, after all, their defense object is the target from across the strait!
Tonight, they received instructions to raise the alert level. Therefore, the entire radar station has been working at full power.
If the Germans want to launch an air strike, they will have sharp eyes. They need to spot the enemy aircraft in advance, and then notify the command center in the suburbs of London-the underground fan command center.
The command center conducts comprehensive analysis and evaluation based on enemy reports from radar stations and ground-based air defense observation posts, and then uses radio to command air fighter operations.
This is the complete air defense process of General Dowding so far.
The entire United Kingdom is divided into four empty zones. Among them, the 11th district in the southeast is the focus of defense. After all, their opposite is Calais, and the Germans are likely to come from Calais!
Inside the radar station, the radar soldier was staring nervously at the screen in front of him. The night was quiet, only the nightingale outside was still calling.
Suddenly, bright spots appeared on the screen, one, two, and soon, a large area appeared!
"The target is found. The enemy planes are taking off in large batches." The radar soldier shouted. He watched nervously at the information on the radar, and suddenly his voice changed: "No, it's not an enemy plane, it's a missile!"
If it is an airplane, the climb is definitely not so fast!
From here, the radar can search for a target 90 kilometers away. Therefore, they found the target that is constantly taking off across the strait. Originally, they thought it was an airplane. However, the airplane will never climb so fast. ! In just a few tens of seconds, he climbed several kilometers!
The missile is a German V-2 missile!
In the last battle, Germany used this weapon to attack for the first time, which posed a heavy challenge to the British air defense system, because this kind of missile could not be intercepted at all!
Needless to say, now, in future generations, the interception of ballistic missiles will be a difficult problem.
In an instant, emergency information was transmitted to the command center in the suburbs of London. This command center was also the headquarters of the 11th British Air Force Group, under the command of General Trafford Limalowi.
"Order our fighter jets to take off immediately!" Trafford shouted loudly: "Quick, be quick!"
The United Kingdom is a veteran country with a large number of elite military officers. After they first came into contact with this missile, they analyzed the missile.
The conclusion is quite terrible. This kind of missile cannot be intercepted. At the same time, they are also studying how to use this kind of missile if they own it.
The result is also obvious. As the first wave of strikes, use this missile to attack the opponent's air base, completely paralyzing the opponent's fighter plane on the ground!
You know, there is no solid hangar for fighters of this era. However, even if there is a reinforced concrete hangar, it will definitely not stop the attack of this kind of missile. Its warhead is one ton!
During World War I, there was a lawn to take off, but now, the airport has simply flattened the runway. Almost all aircraft are parked in the open, and once they are attacked by the opponent, the losses will be heavy.
Although it is night, although they still don't know the follow-up attack, they have no choice but to let the fighter jet take off immediately, so as to reduce the loss!
The entire command center is busy. They know that the war is finally coming!
"Report, the radar station lost contact." Almost two minutes later ~EbookFREE.me~ the shocking news came back.
The radar is their eyes, especially now, at night, the radar will help them find the target in advance, but now, the radar station has no contact!
After the targets were found to take off, the radar station was on high alert. After the missiles took off, their trajectories in the air separated.
At the same time, because this kind of radar was originally designed to observe aircraft, when the height of the missile exceeded 10,000 meters, they could not catch it.
Until a few minutes later, when there was a terrible Doppler roar that was much louder than the sound of a cannonball flying in the sky, the sentry at the radar station looked at the sky in surprise.
Five missiles pierced the sky and flew toward the radar station!
"Boom!" Amid the violent explosion, a dazzling fireball appeared on the ground, and almost an area larger than the size of a basketball court was affected.
The high launch frame was also affected, falling among the flying shrapnel and sparks flying.
