Plymouth.
After an intense day of construction, an air base next to the port of Plymouth has begun to take shape.
Around the base, there are more than 20 anti-aircraft guns guarding the sky. At the same time, the main body of the base is the middle runway.
Use a road roller to directly flatten the field, and then a special track spliced with steel plates.
How to quickly build a forward base under war conditions is a topic for German technicians. It takes one week at the fastest to lay concrete with concrete, and the German team is moving very fast. One week, just built a runway, said It might be useless.
Therefore, after careful research, German technicians have produced this kind of track made of steel plate, called "PSP perforated steel track."
This kind of steel plate is not a single piece, but is composed of countless small pieces.
Each steel plate is about 6 mm thick. It is about 90 cm long and 60 cm wide, and has a rectangular shape. The four sides of the rectangle have hooks or holes formed by stamping. The entire airport is formed by connecting these hooks and holes piece by piece.
In order to improve the strength of the steel plate, evenly distributed reinforcement ribs and reinforcement holes are stamped on the steel plate, and the rib height is 10 mm.
Therefore, the runway is not completely flat. When the plane is taxiing on the runway, there will be bumps from time to time. However, at least the problem of existence can be solved quickly!
After all, in order to prevent the British Air Force from taking off, they directly threw sub-munitions on their air base. Germany could not sacrifice its engineers to clear mines, and there would be a restricted area in the future.
The base here is rapidly being built. At the same time, last night, the 27th Combat Aviation Regiment of the 3rd Air Force in Germany moved here. Their planes are all FW190s. They are all FW190s in the entire Luftwaffe. Almost all of the flying units of BF109 and FW190 are mixed.
At this time, just as the sky turned bright, the Luftwaffe, which had transferred to the British mainland, began to dispatch.
Standing in front of his own plane, Captain Heinz-Barr, looking at the ground crew aside.
"Captain, the aircraft has been maintained and is full of fuel and ammunition, ready to take off at any time." The ground crew on the side said.
The ground crew came by a boat and bumped all the way on the sea. When they got here, they didn't rest and continued to fight to complete the maintenance of the plane. Now, each of them has red eyes.
"Thanks," Heinz said, stepping into his cockpit, closing the hatch and starting the engine with the help of the ground crew.
The 1800-horsepower high-thrust engine in front made a roar. After checking various instrument data, Heinz released the brake.
"3 Squadron, let us take off. Starting today, the sky over Great Britain is our airspace!" Heinz shouted loudly on the radio.
The plane began to fly forward, and the wheels kept bumping on the steel runway. As the speed increased, this bump became the bump of the entire aircraft. This is also the weakness of the steel runway. Fortunately, it is acceptable.
It's like sitting on a small boat floating in the waves, well, very comfortable.
Relying on the powerful engine, the speed quickly got up, gently driving the lever, Heinz took off.
Behind him, a frame of FW190 took off. Although there is no report yet, it is clear that the British will not be willing to fail. Today, a large-scale air battle will break out on the British Isles.
Although the FW190 has a considerable range, it is still beneficial to deploy to a front-line base. For example, take off from here and directly over the UK. They can stay in the sky here for more than three hours!
The nearby British air force base has been destroyed. The main pressure that will be faced today is from the 11th district in the east, which is the main air defense force in the London area.
The British will definitely come!
Therefore, after taking off, they were patrolling in the northeast direction at an altitude of 5,000 meters. When they flew over Exeter, a Junker-290 bomber arrived.
"Where is it going to bomb?" Heinz said to himself, looking at the bomber.
Among the flying troops, they admire each other.
The bomber unit, admiring the fighter unit, has a chic combat, and the aircraft has good performance and can fly various difficult maneuvers.
The fighter force also envied the bomber’s leisure. When they were cruising in the air at an altitude of 5,000 meters while wearing an oxygen mask, they were drinking a drink in the cockpit at an altitude of 8,000 meters.
Especially for bombers like Junker-290, the pressurized cockpit does not need to wear an oxygen mask no matter how high it flies, and the cockpit is quite large. If they are flying for a long time, they can even have toilets for use.
Now, looking up at the bomber, Heinz was envious. Before taking off, Heinz had already gone to the toilet. During the three or four-hour cruise in the sky, he could only hold back if something unexpected happened. With.
Now, when he looked into the sky, he saw the bomber's belly door open, and inside, there were many things falling.
Not a bomb, but a flyer?
Not bad~EbookFREE.me~ is the flyer!
The ink on the above is still 100,000 copies of leaflets printed overnight. Now, these leaflets are falling from the sky towards Exeter.
When they spotted the bomber overhead, Bernard and others ran out quickly. They looked at the height of the opponent's flight and knew they could do nothing.
Too high. One's own light weapons couldn't knock down the opponent, and then, in the sky, these leaflets, falling like snowflakes, gradually landed.
what?
Suddenly, a terrible thought came to his mind, and Bernard shouted loudly: "Hurry up, wear a gas mask!"
Any veteran who has experienced World War I will remember the gas warfare. At that time, both the enemy and the enemy had huge casualties. Once opened, this Pandora's box would be a disaster for mankind.
Even Hitler was temporarily blind during the gas war.
This world war is very different from the last one. The combat style of positional warfare has disappeared. The Germans have created a new tactic of blitzkrieg. At the same time, poison gas has not been used again.
However, veterans will have intuition.
In the middle of the night yesterday, the Germans retreated. Why didn't they fight? Is it waiting for a powerful weapon? For example, will something that fell from the sky today emit poisonous gas? Or other bacterial weapons?
After putting on a gas mask like a pig nose, the flyers flew up and landed around them. Bernard took a flyer with a rubber gloved hand and looked through the glass lens of the gas mask. past.
At this time, the water vapor was permeating, and the lenses of the gas mask were a little fuzzy. He looked at the flyer carefully, and immediately took a breath of cold air in astonishment. The entire gas mask was stuck to his face. 71108
