The battle that belonged to Stuka was over, it made two interceptions, and took out three bombers, which was enough for everyone to be proud of, and without airborne radar, it achieved such a result at night, enough to excite all naval aviation, and now, Stuka was almost depleted of fuel, and it needed to return.

The bombers that had jumped to a low altitude could not find their trace for the time being, and Franz circled around the airspace and finally began to return home.

Even on land, taking off and landing at night is fraught with risk, let alone landing on an aircraft carrier at night, which is even more dangerous. Franz correctly returned to the aircraft carrier, guided by radio navigation, and at this time, the deck lights were already lit on the aircraft carrier, and from a distance, it looked like a city floating on the sea.

Franz's eyes looked at the signal light at the end of the deck, which was the latest optical landing device developed by German technicians, codenamed the Eye of Ciric.

It is said that this was designed at the suggestion of Führer Shirek, and the principle is quite ingenious.

In the past, naval aviation relied entirely on its own superb flying skills for landing, and as the speed of the aircraft continued to increase, the pilots' own skills could not necessarily ensure safety.

Therefore, the navies of various countries now select some full-time guides to use signal flags on the deck of aircraft carriers to guide aircraft to land. This requires the facilitator to have both rich command experience and strong visual inspection ability.

Führer Cirek took a different approach, and is said to have been inspired by his wife Hannah's morning action of applying lipstick in the mirror, and designed an early optical drop mirror. It is a large curvature mirror, and the light located in the stern of the ship is reflected to the mirror surface and then into the air, providing the pilot with a descending slope of light, and the pilot follows this slope and corrects the error by the position of the aircraft in the mirror until it is safely landed.

The specific principle is a bit twisted, this is a light box, the middle section is an orange beam, up and down to a yellow and red beam respectively, and there are horizontal green reference lights on both sides of the middle section of the light box. When the carrier-based aircraft altitude and glide angle are correct, the pilot can see that the orange light ball is in the center of the green reference light, and maintaining this angle can accurately glide to the ship. If the pilot sees a yellow ball of light and is above the green reference light, he should lower the altitude; If you see a red ball of light and it is under the green reference light, you must immediately raise it, otherwise it will hit the end face of the tail post of the aircraft carrier or descend into the sea behind the tail.

And now at night, even the guides on the deck cannot accurately guide the take-off and landing of the aircraft, so it is even more dependent on this set of optical equipment.

Franz, who has a lot of experience, has a fairly standard gliding line, and the signal light on his nose draws a graceful arc, and when the plane has just flown over the end of the deck, the landing gear in front of him is already in close contact with the deck.

The propeller plane does not need a blocking cable, and his plane only needs to land on the deck, slow down and run forward for a certain distance, and then it can stop, and the landing distance is more than 100 meters.

Franz gently pressed the brakes, and the Stuka bomber slid forward on the deck for some distance, coming to a steady stop, and the deck crew surrounded him, and the machine gunner in the back seat proudly shouted: "I also shot down one plane, and we shot down three of them in total!" ”

There was a boiling on the entire deck.

The radar soldier on the bridge was still holding on at this time, and on his radar screen, three bright spots appeared again, the bombers of the Soviets were actually divided into three batches?

However, no matter how many planes come, in front of your own air defense system, you will inevitably pay a heavy price!

East Prussia, Danzig region.

The sea crashes against the shore and makes a rattling sound, and it's a normal night, with the quiet moonlight shining on the shoreline and shining on the sand.

At this time, on the beach, a hurried army was rapidly deploying here.

According to the information notified by the Navy, from the Baltic Sea to Berlin, this is a necessary place on the route of the other side, so the anti-aircraft artillery unit of the Luftwaffe must set up an ambush here!

They are all 8-wheel drive off-road heavy trucks, which are improved by the all-wheel drive chassis of Ford trucks, and now, around this heavy truck, the hydraulic outriggers are quickly released, supporting the entire heavy truck steadily, and the top of the truck, a door of anti-aircraft guns, is shaking rapidly, pointing to the direction of the threat.

This is a mixed anti-aircraft artillery unit, with only a handful of 88mm anti-aircraft guns, most of which are 40-round Bofors anti-aircraft guns, which have a terrible rate of fire and are the most important weapon against the enemy.

At the same time, in the center of each anti-aircraft artillery battery, there was a large searchlight.

Judging from this arrangement, this kind of anti-aircraft artillery unit at night, it seems that there is no difference from history, using searchlights to indicate targets, and after the searchlights find the target, all the anti-aircraft artillery will fire together to knock down the plane.

But there are differences, for example, a kilometer away, there is a vehicle towing a wide antenna, which is rapidly deploying, and the antenna has begun to rotate with the roar of the generator on the side.

Although Germany's electronic technology is developing rapidly, it has not violated the development trajectory of radio, and now they are not able to come up with a fully automatic weapon that allows anti-aircraft artillery to be linked with the radar, and where the radar sweeps, the anti-aircraft artillery can hit wherever it goes.

But they already have radar equipment with a fairly high accuracy, and it is absolutely no problem for the radar equipment to indicate the direction of the target and let the searchlight find the target at once.

Now, the other fire units are intensively preparing, and the radar crew is already intensively operating.

The electronic equipment is working, the cooling fan is rumbling, and the weather is still relatively cold, and the forehead of the radar soldier is already sweating.

He was still staring at the screen, he was the first to discover the target, and his task was daunting.

Of course, he is not the only one who undertakes such a task, in order to prevent the other side from penetrating from a low altitude, causing his own radar to not respond, the air defense forces also sent a large number of personnel to use their own naked eyes to observe in the sky, and at the same time listen to the sound of planes flying by.

On the coast, and even on the sea dozens of kilometers offshore, there are such lookouts, and in this era, using the human eye to detect enemy aircraft is also the most correct way to deal with it, such as the historical London air battle, Britain relied on a large number of such lookouts.

And now, without them having to wait too long, bright spots have appeared on the radar screen one by one, and those enemy planes have indeed appeared on the right course!

The DB-3 bombers of the Soviet Naval Aviation, due to the limited range, they had to fly in a straight line, and more than an hour ago, flares suddenly appeared above their heads, which even caused them to collide with the planes.

But under the command of the determined Colonel Yekiny, they did not change course, and continued to fly according to the established plan, and to their surprise, they did not encounter any interception, except for the plane that collided, the other planes remained intact.

What the hell is going on? Could it be that flare a bolt of lightning? Was it just an accident?

Everyone had doubts in their hearts, but now they had no time to doubt, the long flight made them extremely tired, but they still had to be in good spirits, because they were already going to enter the sky over the land.

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
