Iceland, long-range radar station.
Up to now, Germany’s ground warning radar has been perfected. At this time, the radar station established near the capital of Iceland can monitor the airspace within a range of 300 kilometers. Now, it is working at six times per minute. The time revolves.
On the radar screen, there were several blurry bright spots, and the radar soldier rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking it was dazzling.
Then he saw the bright spots disappear from his screen from southwest to northeast.
what is that? Could it be some special cloud reflection? The radar soldier shouted to the squad leader on duty: "Several suspicious targets were found, from the southwest to the northeast, and then they disappeared."
Hearing his words, the squad leader immediately walked over a few steps and said, "Is the goal clear?"
"I don't know, it's vague, it's gone now, maybe it's a special cloud reflection from high altitude?"
"Impossible. The high-altitude airflow here is not in that direction. This may be a large bomber formation. They fly very densely, and there will be blurred bright spots, and there are still a lot of them."
In order to obtain a longer observation range, and to reduce technical difficulty, the long-range surveillance radars are almost always meter waves. Although they can see far, they cannot see clearly.
A few ambiguous targets may be a large group of bombers flying in dense formations, so such a situation appears on the radar screen. An ambiguous bright spot may be several aircraft.
Hearing what the squad leader said, the radar soldiers were suddenly nervous.
bomber? From that direction, if you draw a route, it should be southern Canada or even the continental United States. Why did they fly here? Is it to bomb Europe?
No, you must report it immediately.
Before he had time to report, those bright spots appeared on the screen again, this time from the east.
"A new target was found, coming from the east, and sailing to the west from the northern seas of Iceland." The radar soldier continued.
"Sure enough, they are!" The squad leader's hand quickly drew a line on the aeronautical chart. The targets that were just discovered sailed northeast, then turned back in the airspace ahead, and turned around, if they had not been spotted just now. I thought he was flying over from Europe, he would definitely relax his vigilance.
"I immediately reported to the superior and found that the unknown aircraft group was flying from east to west. Civil Aviation Route 46 may be an American bomber group." The squad leader said.
With the continuous deployment of radars, there are no secrets at high altitudes.
The radar station reported to Berlin, and then transferred to Wolf Valley 2. At this time, at the Wolf Valley 2 base, everyone was watching this American sneak attack.
When the report from this radar station came, Richthofen first spoke: "This should be the last killer move of the Americans. They used a large number of fighters to attract our navy fighter jets from the western airspace, and then used bombers. In a sneak attack from the east, these bombers must have carried secret equipment from the last time they bombed the island fleet."
Cyric nodded: "Their time is really accurate. Now, the main air defense fighters in the fleet have been sent out. Even some HS129s have begun to go out as temporary air defense fighters. Power comes to block this new bomber."
"Yeah, Raidel is going to be embarrassed this time." Richthofen said with a smile: "Fortunately, the group of fighters that took off from Iceland are now turning to the east, just one hundred kilometers east of the aircraft carrier formation. Stop them over the sea."
The conflict between the navy and the air force is not great. Richthofen's statement is pure ridicule, without any malice.
Cyric nodded: "Hurry up and inform the front, otherwise it will be too late."
While discussing the situation quickly in Wolf Valley 2 base, on the Hitler aircraft carrier, Marshal was also studying the situation.
More and more enemy planes were discovered, and more and more interception fighters were sent out. The airspace behind our fleet was very lively, but I always felt that something was missing.
This time, most of them are the latest US-made fighters, the Army’s Mustang, the Navy’s F4U and so on. Various aircraft are fighting, which has brought tremendous pressure to our own air defense. Fortunately, there is no enemy aircraft sudden. Prevent it from coming.
Suddenly, Marshal patted his head and thought of it!
The American trump cards, the B-29 bombers carrying guided bombs, have not come yet?
They will definitely come. Right now, the Americans' most powerful killer has not been used yet, and what about their own? I have already started to make up with HS129, what should I do?
"Report, a call from base camp, a large-scale suspicious fleet was found in the eastern part of our fleet~EbookFREE.me~The Icelandic fighter planes that came for reinforcements have turned around and are about to intercept them."
Leapfrogging command is a taboo, especially in this kind of sea-air battle where the battle conditions are changing drastically. If it is not particularly critical, the base camp will not interfere with the front-line command operations.
At this moment, from the Hindenburg-class battleship at the forefront of the fleet, the ship's long-range early warning radar had also faintly discovered something.
"In front of our formation, a suspicious fleet appeared!"
The Americans thought that flying on civil aviation routes can maintain maximum concealment. Unfortunately, the times are developing and technology is advancing. When Germany attacked Scapa Bay, the radar was still quite primitive, and a large group of bombers could also pretend to be one. The goal, anyway, is an ambiguous bright spot.
Now, with the improvement of clarity, there are already several bright spots. If it is a civil aviation, several planes will definitely not fly together.
And it is impossible for a few bombers to fly in, as this will have no bombing effect.
"Attention, all the Novotny brigade pay attention, immediately turn and fly to the eastern airspace of the fleet." After receiving the order, Captain Novotny shouted on the radio: "A suspicious fleet has appeared in the eastern fleet, let's go Intercept!"
In the clear airspace, with a good view, sitting in the storm bird in the bubble cockpit, Nowotny was very excited.
If you rush to the airspace west of the fleet, it will be a big melee, which is not good for the jets. After all, the jets are fast and they must identify the target before they can attack in order to prevent accidental strikes.
And now, heading east of the fleet, it was their main battlefield for the jets themselves. Moreover, the target might be bombers. He turned to look at the rockets mounted on the wings on both sides. Well, it was just for the bomber formation. Tailored.
