Chapter 647: The Hail of the Atlantic Ocean Strikes
readx;
The German V2 missile was developed on the basis of the V1 missile, but the V2K9 type, codenamed Hail, was truly deployed in combat and had the ability to attack and destroy. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½ββ
Despite the signing of the armistice between Britain and Germany, Hitler was not at ease with the British, and during the armistice, the Germans deployed more than 3,000 V2K9 missiles across the English Channel. More than a thousand of these missiles were aimed at London.
When Hitler burst the beans, the German high command quickly gave the order to attack British London with missiles.
In retaliation for the Imperial Chinese air attack on Berlin, the German Army's rocket forces launched a massive missile attack on London on the third day after Operation Sea Lion. ββ
After estimating the time when the missiles would fly over London, the Germans launched missiles from more than 20 missile launch positions on the south coast of France at about five o'clock in the morning, just in time for the British to go to work when the missile flight path flew over London.
Because the large radar stations deployed by the Chinese Empire in Britain detected the incoming German missiles in advance, the British air defense command was able to alert the British citizens in time.
From Dunkirk all the way to Lower Normandy, more than 20 German missile launch bases quickly entered a state of combat deployment.
Before the Germans moved, Imperial Chinese intelligence quickly alerted London and asked Churchill to prepare for it. ββ
Churchill did not know the power of the latest German missiles, and although they made air defense deployments, the British only thought that the Luftwaffe was coming, and had no idea about the so-called missiles.
The maximum flight speed of the German Hail missile reached Mach 3. The terminal velocity when hitting the target is more than 850 kilometers per hour. For British ground-based anti-aircraft artillery, such a speed was almost impossible to prevent.
The Hail missile, on the other hand, is 353 meters long and 64 meters wide, and was originally improved on the basis of the BV-226 and was designed from December 12, 1942. It was designed to be a gliding bomb with a very simple appearance. ββCigar-shaped fuselage, slender wings, normal layout of the tail. It is especially strange that the two long main wings were cast from reinforced concrete. The purpose is to ensure that the bomb and the carrier aircraft are separated cleanly and neatly by the heavy weight of the drop, so as to avoid mutual interference and danger.
"Hail" glides well. The glide ratio is 1:25, that is, it can hit targets at a distance of 175 kilometers when it is launched at an altitude of 7,000 meters. If the carrier aircraft is launched at a higher altitude and the maximum attack distance can reach 200 kilometers, it can be dropped outside the enemy's anti-aircraft fire circle, so that the enemy's ground anti-aircraft fire cannot be effectively intercepted.
More than 4,000 Hail missiles began to dive and glide as they entered the vicinity of the United Kingdom. The RAF thought it was dealing with German fighters and bombers, but it didn't expect it to be a missile similar to a small plane. ββ
As the Hail missile went into gliding before it could be intercepted by the British Air Force. This caused the speed of the missile to quickly soar above Mach 3. The British Air Force fighters could not catch up at all, including the Chinese-made Jian-11 fighters, and they could only watch the German missiles fall on the British land one by one.
The warhead of the Hail missile is equipped with a high-explosive charge weighing one ton, and after landing, the huge explosive force can blow up a reinforced concrete building with more than ten floors in an instant, and the explosion impact is thousands of meters, and the lethality within hundreds of meters is enough to kill.
The city of London was attacked by more than 1,000 hail missiles that were command-controlled by new radio and mechanical radars. ββCompared with the previous German V-series missiles, the Hail has a high accuracy. The minimum error is only 2 km, and the maximum error is 11 km. It can basically encompass the city of London.
Of the more than 1,000 hail missiles, nearly 500 missiles landed in the city of London, destroying thousands of houses and buildings and killing and injuring tens of thousands of people.
Other British cities near the English Channel were also attacked by German missiles, with casualties of much the same. On this day, the Germans fired more than 5,000 missiles, inflicting a major blow on the British mainland and killing and wounding tens of thousands of people.
Churchill was shocked and did not expect such rapid progress in German missile technology. In the past, the German army had launched V1 series missiles at Britain, but at that time, Britain only needed to dispatch planes to destroy them in the air, and the accuracy was not as high as it is now. Tens of thousands of V1 missiles inflicted more damage on Britain than the loss of Hail missiles in a single day.
The British Royal Air Force was unable to intercept Hail missiles in the air, and British ground-based anti-aircraft artillery also had little effect on interception, which caused considerable panic among the British authorities. The Chinese Imperial Expeditionary Force was heading to Britain in a steady stream, and Britain was in urgent need of a safe place to rest.
Under these circumstances, the British government had to urgently appeal to the Chinese Empire for help. The Chinese Empire has long developed a large number of missile weapons, but they have been deployed on the mainland, and the outside world knows little about them. When the Chinese Empire was developing missiles, it naturally had plans and ideas for interceptor missiles, so when the British government asked for help, the Chinese Empire immediately sent relevant missile experts to study and restrain German missiles and weapons.
Because the Chinese Empire has long been set up to study missile technology, it has more than 10 years of research and development experience, and the Strategic Missile Forces of the Chinese Empire have long been officially equipped with the Mistral series of missiles, and they can even carry nuclear warheads. With regard to missile technology, although Germany was the first to develop it, the Chinese Empire had far surpassed Germany in terms of technology and manufacturing capabilities.
The Mistral series missiles of the Chinese Empire have been in the development stage, using radio and radar for guidance, and the accuracy has been greatly improved. Therefore, from the perspective of their own missile technology, the missile experts of the Chinese Empire conducted research on the radar and radio guidance systems of the German Hail missiles, with the main purpose of interfering with the radio and radar guidance systems of the German missiles.
As the Imperial Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Britain one after another, the Imperial Chinese Government had to consider the safety of the Imperial people in Britain, so it made an exception to send radio jamming aircraft and electronic radar jamming ships to Britain to jam the German missile radio guidance signals.
With the strong support of the Chinese Empire, the German missiles quickly lost their accuracy, and the error quickly expanded to 11~33 kilometers, and after a week of continuous missile attacks, only a dozen of the thousands of missiles fell in the urban areas of London, Portsmouth and other cities in the United Kingdom, causing only a few dozen casualties. As a result, the German Hail missile attack failed and lost its offensive value.
The Germans planned to abandon the use of the Hailstone missile in the following week, but this did not mean that the Germans had given up using the missile to attack the British. In the absence of a full deployment of German jet fighters, the Germans avoided an aerial decisive battle with the United League, so launching missiles at the United States was the best way to attack.
