Chapter 682 British Radar Station

"Fire!" Kamler shouted loudly.

Following his orders, the rear of the missile launch vehicle, the missile that had been erected, sprayed a white gas from the tail, and with the sound of the turbo pump, the fuel and oxidant were injected into the The engine, and then, an orange flame, came out from the bottom.

Two seconds later, the flames at the tail had stabilized, illuminating the entire dark launch position, and the missile body, driven by the engine working at full power, began to slowly rise.

One, another, more than 100 missiles are launched together. This kind of scene is extremely spectacular and cannot be described in words. Only when you stand in the surrounding open space can you feel this majestic sight. momentum.

Kamler was in it. He looked at the missiles that took off. His heart was also flying with the missiles. The dark night sky had been illuminated. When the missiles took off, the hot tail flame made The human eye felt a burning pain.

The bright sky soon became dark again, the flames gradually flew away, and the brightness quickly diminished, and it looked like a shooting star.

The first wave of German attacks started with a missile attack!

Dover, coastline.

When the expeditionary force cannot withdraw from the other side, the coastline here is already on high alert. In order to prevent the infiltration of small-scale German frogmen troops, the shore here is always on high alert. Patrol patrols back and forth.

At the same time, behind the coastline, at a distance of about a thousand meters, some tall iron towers were urgently installed.

There are a total of eight, four of which are 120 meters high. At the top of these towers, wide-angle transmitting antennas with a transmission power of 350 kilowatts are installed.

At the same time, beside it, there is another group, a total of four 80-meter-high iron towers, on top of which are installed receiving antennas.

Yes, this system is the AMES-1 radar developed by British technicians with painstaking efforts. It is mainly used for long-range detection.

Compared with the radar of later generations, this kind of device is still very primitive. In particular, the antenna cannot be rotated for scanning, so it has to be installed on four large iron racks, and the transmitting and receiving antennas are separated and can only cover the front. 100 degree area.

100 degrees is enough, after all, their defense object is the target from the opposite side of the strait!

This evening, they received instructions to raise the alert level, so the entire radar station has been working at full power.

If the Germans were going to launch an air strike, they would have sharp eyes. They needed to detect enemy planes in advance, and then notify the command center set up in the suburbs of London - the underground sector command center.

The command center conducts a comprehensive analysis and evaluation based on the enemy situation reports from the radar station and the ground air defense observation post, and then uses the radio to command the fighters in the air to fight.

This is the complete set of air defense procedures of General Dawding so far.

The entire United Kingdom is divided into four empty areas. Among them, the 11th area in the southeast is the focus of defense. After all, the opposite of them is Calais, and the Germans are likely to come from Calais!

Inside the radar station, the radar soldiers were staring nervously at the screen in front of them. The night was quiet, and only the nightingale outside was still chirping.

Suddenly, a bright spot appeared on the screen, one, two, and soon, a large piece appeared!

"The target is found, the enemy planes are taking off in large batches." The radar soldier shouted, he watched the information on the radar nervously, and suddenly his voice changed: "No, it is not an enemy plane, it is a missile!"

If it is an airplane, the climb is definitely not so fast!

From this side, the radar can search for targets 90 kilometers away. Therefore, they found the target that was constantly taking off across the strait. Originally, they thought it was a plane, but the climb of the plane would never be so fast. ! In just a few tens of seconds, it climbed several kilometers!

Missile, the German V-2 missile!

In the last battle, Germany used this weapon for the first time to attack, which brought a heavy challenge to the British air defense system at that time, because this kind of missile was simply impossible to intercept!

Needless to say, now, in future generations, the interception of ballistic missiles will be a problem.

In an instant, emergency information was transmitted to the rear command center in suburban London, which was also the headquarters of the British 11th Air Force, commanded by General Trafford-Limalory.

"Order our fighter jets to take off immediately!" cried Trafford, "Quick, quick!"

The United Kingdom, an established country, has a large number of elite officers. After they first came into contact with this kind of missile, they analyzed this kind of missile.

The conclusion is quite terrifying. This kind of missile cannot be intercepted. At the same time, they are also studying how to use this kind of missile if they own it.

The result is also obvious. As the first wave of the attack, this kind of missile is used to attack the opponent's air base, completely paralyzing the opponent's fighter plane on the ground!

You must know that there is no solid hangar for fighter jets in this era. However, even a reinforced concrete hangar will definitely not be able to stop the attack of this kind of missile. Its warhead is one ton heavy!

In World War I, a lawn can take off, but now, the airport has simply flattened the runway, and the planes are almost always parked in the open air. Once attacked by the opponent, the loss is very heavy.

Although it is night now, although the follow-up attack is still unclear, they have no choice. They must let the fighter jets take off immediately, so as to reduce the loss!

The entire command center was busy, and they knew that the battle was finally coming!

"Report, the radar station lost contact." Almost two minutes later, the shocking news came back.

Radar is their eyes, especially now, at night, radar will help them find targets in advance, but now, the radar station is out of touch!

When those targets were found to take off, the radar station was on high alert, and after the missiles took off, the trajectory in the air was separated.

At the same time, because the radar was originally designed to observe aircraft, when the altitude of the missile exceeds 10,000 meters, they cannot catch it.

Until a few minutes later, when there was a terrifying Doppler whistle that was much louder than the sound of flying cannonballs, the sentinel of the radar station looked up at the sky in surprise.

Five missiles cut through the sky and flew towards the radar station!

"Boom!" Amidst the violent explosion, a dazzling fireball appeared on the ground, covering an area almost the size of a basketball court.

The tall launcher was also affected, falling in the swirling shrapnel, and sparks splashed.
