World War II was a catalyst for advanced technologies, especially radar.

Before World War II, radar was just a concept, but after the end of World War II, all kinds of radars have been able to have a perfect combat state.

For radar, the most critical component is the magnetron, which is a special vacuum tube that can release electromagnetic waves from it, yes, it is the element that emits electromagnetic waves, without it, there is no radar.

Historically, the magnetron has been around since 1921, but the multi-cavity high-energy magnetron was not invented until 1939 by Landall and Bout of the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom.

Radar waves have different wavelengths and frequencies, for example, in later generations, in order to counter stealth aircraft, meter-wave radar is used, the longer the wavelength, the easier it is to radiate energy, with a longer detection distance.

However, its accuracy is not enough, and if you want to improve the resolution better, you have to reduce the wavelength of the radar, which is where the multi-cavity high-energy magnetron comes in, which allows the radar to operate in the microwave band with greater pulse intensity. It has improved the comprehensive resolution accuracy, azimuth accuracy and distance accuracy of the target by orders of magnitude, made the antenna smaller and more performant, made the sea surface and terrain interference clutter better detectable, made the pulse width reach the microsecond level, shortened the minimum detection distance from half a mile to several hundred yards, made the guns of the interceptor aircraft completely controlled by radar, and made the bulky antenna shrink to a pod that could fit into the wing or the size of a bomb.

After talking for a long time, now ordinary shipborne radars can only know that enemy aircraft are in a certain airspace, but the specific location is not clear, and it is impossible to guide ship guns to intercept them, however, this new fire control radar, due to the increase in accuracy, perfectly fulfills the purpose of the fire control radar, it can guide anti-aircraft guns, perfectly go to where the target is, and then fire!

Germany's previous radar was mainly imported from the island country with magnetrons, and then developed, and after the conquest of Britain, this multi-cavity high-energy magnetron technology was also obtained by Germany, and later, based on this magnetron, Germany developed the first artillery sighting radar.

Now, this radar is installed on the Lützov, used to control the twin 88mm anti-aircraft guns, just after receiving the order, the radar that has already been warmed up immediately turned on, and the radar wave of 2900 megahertz instantly scans towards the cloud.

The clouds formed by the condensation of water vapor could not block the electromagnetic waves, and only the aluminum skin of the fighter could clearly reflect these echoes, and now, with one echo after another, they accurately flashed on the screen of the fire control radar.

Then, the radar soldier began to report quickly: "The altitude is 2,005, the azimuth is 0-3-6, the elevation angle is 75 degrees, 3 minutes and 2 seconds, and the distance is 3,000. ”

If you want the radar to automatically control the anti-aircraft artillery, it is still not possible, and the current artillery aiming fire control radar can automatically calculate the target's azimuth, elevation angle, distance and altitude according to the detected target data, and calculate the important information of firing and firing, which is already quite efficient.

While the radar continued to automatically track the target, the gunners were rapidly turning the steering wheel on the gun position of the anti-aircraft gun, and the anti-aircraft gun was fine-tuning, and then a ball of fireball came out of the muzzle.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

At this moment, suddenly, a huge wave crashed against the hull of the Lyutzov, and as the hull shook, the muzzle of the gun also shook and missed.

On the warship, the base of the naval gun will shake with the hull, so that the naval gun will deviate when firing, in order to prevent shooting mistakes, on the Bismarck, the 105 mm naval gun is equipped with a three-axis self-stabilizing platform, no matter how the hull shakes, the naval gun stands majestically, which shows the strength of this naval gun.

However, on the Lützov, there was no such equipment.

The slightest shaking of the barrel of the gun will lead to a major deviation of the shell, and at this time, in the control room of the fire control radar, the radar soldier shouted loudly: "Quick, immediately reduce the elevation angle, it rushed down!" ”

Even without the use of fire control radar, the other anti-aircraft artillerymen caught this American-made Corsair fighter with the naked eye, and at this time it suddenly came out of the clouds, with a rapid and terrifying momentum, and began to dive downward, and its target was the aircraft carrier Munich in the formation!

Fire, fire!

More than a dozen warships escorting the escort around turned their anti-aircraft guns around, and 40-mm, 88-mm, and 105-mm anti-aircraft artillery shells were constantly swaying into the sky, and the smoke was shrouded, covering the entire airspace of the target.

If you want to dive down, you have to go through this terrible barrage, which is simply killing yourself.

At this time, Roy did not flinch, he felt his plane tremble in the explosion of the shells of the anti-aircraft guns, felt the roar of countless shells, and Roy continued to dive downward, dive.

"Boom!" An 88-mm shell exploded almost a few meters away from his plane, and countless fragments hit his plane, and puffs of black smoke suddenly came out of the engine in front of him, and the flames burst out.

On the fuselage, there were also several bullets, and in the cockpit, Roy felt as if he had been bitten on his thigh.

Roy was wounded.

The smoke from the nose in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, Roy's eyes were full of determination, and below, the aircraft carrier was getting clearer and clearer.

"Justice will prevail!" Roy shouted over the radio, and there was a cacophony of voices, that his companions were still fighting, that for him it was a just war, and that Germany's vain attempt to dominate the world would inevitably end in defeat.

The pirate fighter with thick smoke continued to dive downward, and below, the aircraft carrier Munich was also in a hurry, and the captain gave the instructions of the left full rudder, in a vain attempt to avoid the flaming fighter.

The captain's eyes were full of admiration, the pilot of the fighter plane had already dived with the belief of death, and the other party would rather sacrifice his life in order to attack.

Well, exchanging his life for an aircraft carrier is definitely worth it!

"Tom tom, boom!" At this moment, the shell of the roaring 40-mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun fell on its body, the shell tore the rear of the fuselage, hit the fuel tank, and the entire plane, suddenly exploded in the air.

The anti-aircraft artillerymen instantly cheered.

Awesome, hit!

The blasted pirate fighter was blazing in the air, and it was still diving down its original trajectory, where it was already an empty sea, and then it plunged headlong into the sea.

In the sky, Alcatel witnessed all this, and suddenly, he felt that his heart was empty, as if he had lost something. His gaze stayed on the fighter plane that crashed into the sea, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
