Chapter 1771 - Electromagnetic Interference
Hindenburg.
At this time, the ship's radar can also clearly capture the target, and all anti-aircraft guns are nervously preparing, especially the 128-mm anti-aircraft gun, which has the longest range, and as long as the opponent is close, it will fire without hesitation.
However, the Americans were cunning and dropped bombs in advance before they could get close to the range of the anti-aircraft guns of surface ships.
This is the advantage of high-altitude bombs, the higher the altitude, the farther they are thrown, at this time, the B-29 bombers are still more than a dozen kilometers in front of them, outside the maximum slant distance of the 128-mm anti-aircraft gun.
So, in the face of the bombardment of the Americans, Raeder, who was on the Hindenburg, could only give one order: "The entire fleet, with the left full rudder, turn on the jamming device." ”
The accuracy of dropping bombs at an altitude of 10,000 meters is quite poor, and now, the entire fleet can make those bombs miss with a left full rudder.
However, the Americans must have come prepared, bombing at an altitude of 10,000 meters, most of the free-fall bombs will definitely miss the target, and their bombs are just to cover up the real killer weapons in them.
The kind of bomb that can be accurately guided, like similar bombs in Germany, the Americans already have it.
If it was the first time to encounter it, maybe the German fleet would have suffered, but now it is not the first time, the fleet of the island country has suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of such special bombs, and how could Germany make the same mistake!
Führer Ciric has always attached importance to electronic warfare, and the development of transistors ahead of schedule and the pre-research of various electronic technologies, including the emergence of electronic computers, are all the results of Führer Ciric's single-handedly promoted efforts.
And just after the appearance of such precision-guided bombs in the arsenal of the United States, Germany went-for-tat and developed an electromagnetic interference device.
Every large warship is equipped with this special electronic equipment, for example, on the Hindenburg, above the turret at the tail, stands an Yagi antenna, at this time, this antenna, is continuously releasing electromagnetic waves to the outside, its power is so great that when it starts, the light bulbs inside the entire warship cabin are dimmed.
Electromagnetic interference is a science, what is the frequency of the other party? What bands are used for interference? Is the interference a normal signal, or a simulated signal? These are specific problems of electromagnetic countermeasures.
But now, for the time being, there is no need to think so much, as long as it is aimed at the sky, it is enough to emit a chaotic electromagnetic wave, which fills the sky and immediately drowns out the guidance signal of the other party.
In the words of later generations, this is called all-band, large blocking interference, this is the most disturbing way of interference, no radio communication equipment can work under this interference, even if the frequency band is reserved in advance, the German frequency hopping stations have also suffered some interference at this time, not to mention the guided bombs of the Americans.
At this time, the American bombardier in the sky did not know it, he just thought that the bomb he threw was malfunctioning itself, and could not help shouting: "Damn, mechanical failure, I can't control it!" ”
The bombardier was annoyed and watched as the opposing fleet turned on the surface of the sea, avoiding the area where his bombs fell, but could not do anything.
At this time, the pilot overhead couldn't care so much, the noisy signal in the headset made him have some tinnitus, and he stared nervously at the sky, a German jet, swooping towards his plane.
"Tom tom!" On both sides of the nose and wings of the opponent's plane, three 20-mm cannons opened fire together, and the dense shells flew towards them, so the pilot immediately operated the bomber to turn left, in a vain attempt to avoid the opponent's shells.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The nose of the aircraft was avoided, however, the position of the bombardier on the nose was not avoided, and the 20-mm shell knocked open the front glass, blowing the bombardier into a bloody blur.
Then, the airflow in the pressurized cockpit was outward, everything inside was outward, and the bloody body of the bombardier was sucked out of the cabin along the hole that had exploded.
"No, we have to lower the height!" The pilot shouted loudly, he pulled down the oxygen mask and buckled it to his mouth, so as not to fall into a coma soon in the depressurized cockpit, and at the same time, he had to lower down to the dense atmosphere below as soon as possible, the thin air and cold temperatures at high altitude would kill them.
The 444th Bomber Group at the front did not have any results, and the 40th Bomber Group, which followed them closely, was already a little panicked.
The jets, right in front of them, spread two lines of interception, just as they intercepted the first group of bombers.
What to do?
This German tactic is quite effective against densely flying bombers, and the dense rockets meet the dense formations, which is simply a perfect match.
Novotny looked at the second bomber formation in front of him, his heart was very excited, and he continued to give orders to his own formation: "Attention, eight rockets, salvo begins!" ”
Just now, only four of each one were fired, but now that the number of their fighters is small, in order to improve the hit rate, they have to increase the number, this time, continue to let the other side fight!
One rocket after another, dragging the blazing flames, flew towards the opposite group, and if it could be the same as the last time, the first round of rocket strikes would be able to kill half of the opponent's planes.
The rest will be dealt with with the cannon.
But this time, it's obviously different from the last time.
Looking at the rockets flying one by one, the captain of this bomber formation is not as determined as Kenneth, after all, the destruction of the bomber formation in front, even if they don't see it, they can hear it clearly on the radio, those rockets are coming, it is their rain of death.
"Spread out, the formation will disperse at once!" The group leader shouted, and he pushed the lever and swooped his bomber into the air.
Yes, diving is also a good way to get out, as long as it is not on the opponent's trajectory, it is guaranteed not to be shot down.
The bombers on both sides of the formation immediately flashed to both sides, and the bombers in the middle of the formation were a little flustered at this time.
A bomber in the middle, the pilot quickly pushed the lever to the left and kicked the rudder on the left, hoping to dodge from the left, but when he turned his head, the bomber on the left was rapidly enlarging in size.
Damn it! He immediately pushed the lever forward, hoping to dodge, but unexpectedly, the bomber on the left side also began to dodge downward, so the noses of the two bombers collided violently.
At the nose of the plane, the two bombardiers watched each other rush towards each other, watched the glass shatter, and then, in a huge impact, passed out.
They died quickly, and in the rear, the rest of the crew, watching in horror as the fire caused by the impact, was violently sweeping over.
