159 unquiet nights

Li Le stepped off his Asia train at the train station in Berlin, and after saying goodbye to Krupp, he returned to his Imperial Chancellery. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The news of the Führer's confidant Rommel's victory in North Africa and the liberation of the siege of Baildi had become a new climax in Goebbels' propaganda of German invincibility.

Newspapers all over Germany, large and small, were preaching the invincibility of Rommel's army, and the attack on Egypt was only a matter of the last few days.

With this wave of public opinion offensive, everyone in Germany was very optimistic about the war, and turned a blind eye to the British bombing of France at night.

On the night of September 3, an officer on duty at a German base in France was suddenly woken up by two of his men.

"Sir! Our radar spotted the invading British plane! Very accurate this time! The radar soldier on duty opened his mouth and reported to his commander.

The officer, who was already lazy, quickly stood up, and returned to the instrument room of the radar station with two of his men, and saw the frequency of the equipment screen that was constantly beating like electrocardiogram fluctuations.

These dense frequencies, combined with the corresponding parameters, can know the direction of the opponent's aircraft, as well as the approximate size of the enemy's aircraft force.

"Look at the frequency, it's the British medium bomber! There should be no fighter escort! Course...... The course was near the 55th anti-aircraft position. The radarman pointed to the screen and opened his mouth to analyze.

"You're right!" The officer nodded, then turned around and shouted to the deputy who had already arrived: "Go and sound the battle alarm!" Put the anti-aircraft artillery units of the 55th defensive position on alert! ”

Then he grabbed a phone next to him and said, "Hello! I'm radar station No. 4...... We have discovered the invasion of enemy aircraft! Right, anti-aircraft gun position No. 55...... Get your searchlights ready! It will open in 1 minute! ”

On the anti-aircraft gun anti-aircraft position, the officer in charge of the searchlight glanced at his watch, and then silently counted the passage of time.

After arriving at that scheduled time, he waited another two seconds and immediately shouted to all the officers around him: "Turn on the searchlights!" Light up the sky! ”

This era was influenced by scientific and technological prowess, and searchlights and anti-aircraft guns were still the main means of ground air defense. At this time, on any anti-aircraft artillery position, a corresponding number of searchlights will be allocated.

After the power was turned on, a searchlight with a diameter of about half a meter was suddenly lit, and the dazzling light that tore through the darkness rushed into the sky.

The light of this intensity even penetrated a part of the clouds. Then, with the appearance of this pillar of light, another pillar of light also appeared between heaven and earth.

Soon, a third pillar of light also appeared, and then the figure of the British Wellington bomber that was flying over here nearby was lit up.

Probably only two seconds apart, the German anti-aircraft artillery units began to fire wildly, exploding all over the sky.

The German 88 mm anti-aircraft guns on the ground fired their own shells one after another, and the soldiers desperately loaded the shells into the barrels, and then hit the sky as fast as they could.

With each shot, the gun's operator shook the handle to adjust the angle of fire from the anti-aircraft gun. Within a few seconds, a Wellington bomber was hit in its wing by a shell.

The shell hit the bomber, which then set its engine on fire in the sky.

"There was a British bomber that was hit! I saw the fire! See over there! It's over there! "On the ground, the Army's patrol looked up at the sky and saw a burning bomber crashing to the ground, and someone shouted at the target.

Another ground observation post also spotted the downed target, and the officer on duty at the post grabbed the phone: "Notify the nearby patrol!" Grab the pilot of the British Air Force parachuting and see the area where the bomber crashed! Don't let one go! ”

On the ground, the alarm kept ringing, and the anti-aircraft gun position No. 55 soon stopped firing at itself, and their target had already left the airspace for which they were responsible, despite the losses.

Another anti-aircraft artillery anti-aircraft position opened fire in the distance, and a dazzling light could be seen sweeping back and forth in the sky, and that was a searchlight, indicating the location of enemy aircraft for its own anti-aircraft guns.

Although I don't want to admit it, in the era when there are no radio proximity fuses, it is not a very cost-effective thing to use anti-aircraft gun weapons against aircraft.

However, such a defense cannot be completely replaced, and can only be regarded as a means of defense that is stronger than no other way to disperse the enemy's bomber formation.

"The bombers of the British were detected in advance, and the performance of the radar was very good!" On the ground, senior officers of the air defense command of the Luftwaffe spoke in the command.

In accordance with the highest instructions of the Führer, after modification, the Germans set up 10 radar stations in France and deployed the corresponding air defense forces.

In the past two days, thanks to the cooperation of radar stations, the organization and early warning of the German air defense forces have begun to be improved day by day.

Without Li Le saying anything more, Marshal Kesselring did Goering's work, began to deploy radar stations on a large scale, and devoted more energy to developing new and better radars.

These radar stations lived up to expectations, bringing to a halt two consecutive days of British night air raids, with the loss of a large number of Wellington bombers.

Britain's plan to weaken the Luftwaffe by night bombing was a complete failure.

They lost about 100 Wellington bombers for no apparent reason, but it didn't do anything.

Although Germany cooperated to stop the bombing of London during the day, it was not a loss at all, but a choice made because of the ambiguity of strategic objectives.

"If we had invested in the research of this kind of equipment earlier, we might have made this thing even better!" Another officer exclaimed.

Now, the prevention and control headquarters where they are located is actually a radar station. They have seen with their own eyes the role of radar in air defense operations and have thoroughly believed the Führer's prophecy.

This equipment is indeed capable of leading the future of air warfare - the Führer's decision to give priority to the destruction of the enemy's radar stations is really quite correct.

If the British radar station had not been destroyed at that time, the direction of the German aircraft invasion, as well as the number of invasions, would have been mastered by the British radar station.

By that time, how much German bombers were going to lose in Britain, then only God could guess.

"Yes! If the British could carry out targeted interceptions against our planes after they dispersed, the consequences would be really unimaginable. Another Air Force officer sighed.

Here, the anti-aircraft artillery positions deployed in French territory had ceased their attacks, as British bombers had flown through the airspace they were defending.

Finally, the British pilots found that quiet had returned to their surroundings, and the loud explosions and bumps had gradually faded away, and many people were smiling happily.

But soon, their smiles stiffened on their faces, because the German night fighter ME-110 had flown near them.

The improved ME-110 night fighter, although unable to fight British single-engine fighters during the day, became the best night interceptor fighter at this time.

The JU-88 continued to act as a bomber before the Allied air bombardment – and without competition, the ME-110 was indeed the Luftwaffe's first choice for retrofitting night fighters.

And, compared to another time and space, this time the Germans improved more ME-110 fighters in their hands, turning them into terrifying night killers.

These fighters, equipped with a simple radar, now have more than hundreds of them.

With ground-based radar in place, they spotted enemy bomber groups and increased their chances of attacking them.

Dozens of such ME-110 fighters, on standby in the blank areas of the Luftwaffe anti-aircraft artillery units, were designed to destroy these invading enemies.

With guidance from the ground, these night fighters can cut short and cut directly to the enemy's course and then launch the most intense attack.

One Wellington bomber after another was shot down over Belgian territory, and the British pilots, who had been ordered to bomb, found themselves on a suicide mission.

In the distance, the sound of air raid sirens in the city was heard, and a young Belgian girl living in a small country town pushed open the window of her home.

She saw a dense trail of bullets across the sky in the distance, like a meteor shower.

Then, there were the falling Wellington bombers that streaked across the sky like a comet, dragging a long flame into the darkness not far away.

"Mom! It's beautiful! Pointing to the long flames dragged by the falling bomber in the distance, the little girl innocently shouted.

This war seems to be far, far away from her, and what she cares about most is still the beautiful night view and the things to play with the children next door during the day tomorrow.

And the distant hatred and the cruel war are still too ignorant and vague for her.

"Kerry! Close the window! The mistress of the house took the little girl by the waist and removed her from the window.

Then the female director nervously looked around through the window, closed the window and closed the curtains.

There are also German troops stationed in the town, who knows if they will be angry with this ordinary family because of some mess?

"Woo ......" In the distance of the city, the sirens of air raid evacuation still echoed, as if they did not know that they were tired. Until late at night, the German-occupied regions of France and Belgium still did not look peaceful at all.
