A rocket can transport space capsules and satellites into space and is a civilian device. However www.biquge.info if the carrying part of the rocket is replaced with a warhead and a military guidance system is installed, the original civilian rocket can be transformed into a powerful weapon in no time.

People in this era do not have satellite technology, and there is no country to conduct research and development for the time being. And only Zhang Cheng has long been investing money to support the technology research and development of rockets and satellites. Its size and time were not much less than those of the Germans.

It's just that the rocket that Zhang Cheng invested in research is not for combat, but for future space exploration to make technical preparations. So Zhang Cheng rejected the military's request to use the rocket in military use.

In fact, the main reason is that Zhang Cheng knows that before the emergence of new high-energy warheads and powerful precision guidance systems, the power of this kind of rocket is actually far less powerful than imagined. Its role is more to intimidate the enemy.

It's not that Zhang Cheng doesn't know that rockets and missiles are common, in fact, it's because Zhang Cheng knows that in terms of the science and technology of this era, the attack method of directly equipping a bomb on a rocket is of little significance. Before the advent of nuclear warheads, the loading of ordinary bombs was more of a deterrent and a fear.

In the case that the regular combat strength of the Ming army was enough to defeat any opponent, Zhang Cheng would not use rockets for attacks like the Germans. At least not until there is a breakthrough in technology. Because it's a waste of time and energy.

Of course, just because the Ming don't use it doesn't mean that the Germans don't use it. The Germans, facing a great existential crisis, now dare to do anything. As long as they can win the war and avoid the crisis of national extinction, they are willing to do anything.

It can be seen from the fact that the Germans have built so many black technology weapons, and they are forced to be in a hurry.

The Germans are not fools, and they naturally know that it is difficult for this technologically immature weapon to be put into the battlefield on a large scale to play a decisive role, after all, there are problems of one kind or another. But now that the Ming army has come to the city, they have no choice.

Zhang Cheng has already received information from the Ming intelligence department that the Germans have produced a large number of V series rockets, and it is estimated that they will be put into use on the battlefield in the near future.

Although the Ming army had previously carried out heavy bombing of the factories and bases for the production of V-type rockets based on the information provided by the intelligence services, the factories and bases of the Germans were basically built underground, and the effect of the bombing was not obvious. That is, the Germans V series missiles will inevitably appear on the battlefield.

Zhang Cheng also considered sending special operations forces to attack the German bases, but the Germans were not only heavily guarded, but their bases and factories were still in the hinterland of their country. Rushing troops is likely to cause heavy casualties. The Germans do not have a single production base, and the cost of this kind of effort and harvest is too disproportionate.

"Forget it." After pondering for a moment, Zhang Cheng finally shook his head and gave up his plan to send special operations forces to attack. A hasty attack is likely to result in huge casualties. Although Zhang Cheng is not merciful and afraid of casualties when needed, fearless losses are something he is unwilling to accept.

"Air Force bombing." Zhang Cheng closed the folder, leaned back on the back of the seat and whispered to himself, "Go and bomb the German launch position." Also, it seems that the V1 model is very slow, and I remember that the pilots were able to shoot it down when they flew the plane. This is also a way. ”

As Zhang Cheng had predicted, the Germans launched a massive attack on their territory by the Ming army, and immediately after the request for peace talks sent to the Ming through secret channels was denied, they immediately used their retaliatory weapons, Vergeltungswaffe1 and 2.

This big guy that uses liquid rocket thrusters is powerful and has an extremely long range. The level of science and technology in this era cannot be compared with modern time and space. In modern time and space, when it comes to wars, they are all-out operations, and there is no place within the national territory that cannot be fought, and even the whole world is actually within the scope of attack.

But in this era, warfare is still bounded by the range of weapons. There aren't many weapons that can attack the enemy's ranged mid-depths. This is also the main reason why the strategic bombing force hit the Allies so hard. Being able to hit far is a very difficult thing. The range of hundreds of kilometers of the V-series missiles is already an artifact in this era.

Moreover, the Germans gathered the strength of the whole country and frantically produced tens of thousands of these weapons. When the Ming attack force approached the outskirts of Frankfurt, the Germans launched a series of attacks towards the main material assembly area in the rear of the Ming army and the location of the headquarters of Army Group Center.

At half past nine o'clock in the evening of June 1, 1943, the Germans fired twelve V2 long-range missiles from the southern suburbs of Berlin towards Poznan, an important logistics base of the Ming army. Although most of these missiles are far away from the target due to the poor guidance accuracy. However, the two missiles that accurately hit the city of Poznan still brought considerable losses to the Ming army.

About 20 Ming officers and soldiers were killed in the attack. More than 100 tons of materials were destroyed. However, its real significance was to deal a heavy blow to the Ming army from the morale level. Faced with this new weapon, which had never been seen before and had almost no way to defend itself, the Ming army inevitably panicked.

However, the Ming army was an elite division after all, and it quickly calmed down after the initial panic. In the early hours of the morning, when the second wave of German missile attacks came, the Ming army had dispersed as much as possible to dodge, although some supplies were destroyed, but the casualties of the Ming officers and soldiers were not large. And they have understood that this is a new weapon, not the wrath of the gods. This is also a benefit of universal education.

After daybreak, numerous propaganda pamphlets sent from the headquarters of the army group were sent to the troops. The brochure contains detailed information about the new weapon of the Germans. Although it was impossible to avoid the continued attack of the Germans, it could relieve the tension of the officers and soldiers as much as possible.

Humans are afraid because of the unknown, but once they know and understand the situation, this feeling is greatly reduced.

It seems to have been inspired by the successful launch last night, or perhaps because the Ming offensive had made the Germans on the front line feel overwhelmed and desperate for any kind of assistance. During the daytime, the Germans launched hundreds of V-series missiles from the rear of the entire front to the important positions, information centers, logistics distribution centers, headquarters and other areas of the Ming army on the opposite side.

Most of these missiles did not hit their intended targets, after all, the guidance technology of this era was too poor. However, the appearance of this new weapon still hit the morale of the Ming army, and the offensive of the Ming army did not make much progress for a whole day. The soldiers in the rear were all nervously looking at the sky, and the military hearts became a little worried.

For more than a week after that, the Germans fired more than 1,000 V-series missiles at the Ming army as if they were crazy. But these weapons, which the Germans saw as life-changing in the war, did not save Germany at the last moment.

The Ming army quickly calmed down after the initial chaos. Army aircraft and anti-aircraft artillery on the ground were striking hard at the Germans' missiles. Although it did not have much effect on the extremely fast V2, the German V2 was expensive due to its complex workmanship, and the actual amount of equipment was not very large. They were also heavily armed with winged flying bombs, that is, V1s.

Compared to the real ballistic missile V2, the V1 is actually more like a bomb-carrying drone. This kind of winged bomb-loading drone has a fight with the Japanese kamikaze, except that one is manned and the other is unmanned. Of course, this is a big difference. The former is known as the extermination of humanity and is reviled by the world. The latter is the power of science and technology and the direction of future development.

The V1 flies a little faster than a regular piston aircraft. Moreover, its flight trajectory is basically fixed, and there is no pilot to perform any maneuvers. Therefore, the Ming pilots were able to shoot down the V1 easily if they found it. The same goes for anti-aircraft fire on the ground. But with V2 there is no way.

After the Germans began to use ballistic missiles on a large scale, Zhang Cheng was not frightened, but strengthened his determination to defeat the Germans. If the Germans continue to develop like this, it will not be many years before they will be able to come up with a weapon that will directly destroy the earth.

The bomber units of the Ming Army began to make large-scale sorties during this time. In the face of the interception of the Allied air force and the attack of ground anti-aircraft artillery, they constantly searched for the missile launch positions of the Germans and launched fierce attacks. The Germans deployed a large number of air defense forces around their launch positions in order to defend their missiles, and the fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce.

The fearless attack of the Daming Army pilots dealt a great blow to the Germans' V-series missiles. In just over a week, at least half of the missiles were destroyed at the launch site. Because the Germans were using liquid fuel, it took a long time from the time they entered the position to the time they were refueled and ready for launch. This gave the Daming Army pilots ample time to attack.

Although the Germans brought a lot of losses to the Ming Army Aviation through air defense operations. However, this loss is nothing compared to the total number of Daming Army Airlines, its strong production capacity and the number of reserve pilots. And the price they paid was no less than that of Da Ming. The destruction of those precious V-missiles is far more significant than the shooting down of the Ming warplane. (To be continued.) )
