Chapter 1782 The Lun Bean Project

Baffin Island is Canada's largest island and the fifth largest island in the world. It is part of the Canadian Arctic Islands. It is opposite Greenland across the Bay of Baffin and the Strait of Davis in the east.

The terrain here is complex, with mountains above 8,000 feet higher. The ridge runs across the eastern part of the island and is covered with glaciers. The coast of Fox Bay in the mid-west is lowland, with winding coastlines and many fjords.

Most of the islands are located in the Arctic Circle. They are cold in winter and cold in summer. Only a few Inuits live on the island.

This island is across the strait from Greenland. In theory, if the Germans took Greenland, the next goal should be here. In fact, just by carefully analyzing it, you will know that there is no need.

Because it's too cold here.

Germany occupied Greenland in order to use Greenland as a springboard to land across the sea in the Americas. No matter how vast the territory is, it is not very useful. Moreover, the island is full of mountainous areas, and the Germans occupied it without any value.

So, to swing south from Greenland, either directly from the United States or the warmer Labrador Island, this makes sense.

At this time, in the southern part of Baffin Island, Frobishebe, a man came to an ordinary residence.

Frobishebe is one of the main settlements on Baffin Island. There are about a thousand residents living here. Because it is too cold, there are not too tall buildings, and almost all of them are bungalows.

The door was opened and the man was greeted into the room. He headed straight to the fireplace and quickly roasted the fire. He walked over and was frozen.

A limping man came over and sat next to him, and then he realized: "Col.

Colonel Eddie nodded and signaled: "What's the discovery?"

"We observed near the unbuilt aviation base. Sure enough, after the Germans completed them, they began to station the German fighter jets, especially a jet brigade, who transferred to the H3 base." The man said.

Jet Brigade! Hearing this, Colonel Eddie's eyes lit up. After waiting for a few days, he really got the good news!

At the same time, he was also surprised by Donovan's judgment, and the Germans indeed deployed the jet troops to Greenland.

Since Greenland has just been occupied, a large number of American intelligence personnel can easily stay on the island. Because it is cold and freezing there, the Germans cannot conduct a complete personnel identification. In this way, their personnel can move normally, and now they have finally gained something!

"At the same time, we also used radio equipment to receive their radio navigation signals and handed them over to the personnel behind. We should be able to simulate the information in it." The man continued.

The Germans have used advanced radio navigation equipment to navigate by sending radio signals. This system is actually very easy to copy and can be simulated as long as the signal is obtained.

Colonel Eddie nodded: "Well, our simulation site has been built, and now, our lentil project has officially begun!"

Everything is ready, only the east wind is needed. Since the German fighter jets are in place, the next step of action will finally begin.

Stealing fighter jets is a skill, but stealing directly is not possible.

Autumn is about to pass, winter is about to come, the day is gradually shorter, and the night is gradually getting longer.

The whistling cold wind is constantly blowing. In many weather, even the take-off and landing of the plane will be dangerous. The wind will directly blow over the take-off and landing aircraft. This is the terrible climate in the Arctic.

The base is still busy.

"In recent times, our focus of training is still on using rockets for intercepting bombers." Novotney said: "Tell everyone good news. Our opinions on improving fighter jets have been reported. Soon, we will be equipped with a 30mm cannon and our fuselage will be reinforced."

The experiments of the last interception showed that in order to deal with large targets such as the B-29 bomber, the rockets have good results, as long as they have enough accuracy, but the 20mm cannon is insufficient.

During World War II, Mauser's mg151 series 20mm cannon was praised as the most suitable cannon. It has been used since the war started and has been encountered by the B-29, and it is finally not enough.

Therefore, the new 30mm cannon was developed. The original Mk101 model had a large weight and was not suitable. Until now, the improved Mk108 model has finally come out. It has a light weight, a compact structure and a high lethality. It just happened to equip the jets first. After all, this kind of aircraft is the simplest to install a navigator.

At the same time, suggestions on strengthening parts with few shots in the fuselage have also been carefully absorbed and adopted.

When I heard that I should be equipped with a 30mm cannon, many people became excited instantly, especially those who had experienced the last battle. After I came down, I analyzed the data of the firing and dealing with the b-29, I needed at least 30 20mm shells to deal with the b-29!

Now, it's a new gun, which is good news.

However, Ted, who was standing by, asked a question: "Will we change one or three?"

Among the flying troops, Ted was the one who could think the most. Although Novotney was the most satisfied with Ted after a few days of coming here.

Now, he raised a very important question.

The 20mm machine cannon ballistic is different from the 30mm machine cannon ballistic. If you only change one and the other two cannons are 20mm, the sight will not be adjusted. The 30mm machine cannon trajectory is more curved, while the 20mm straight, if it is only adjusted to the middle, 30mm shells will fly away from below and 20mm shells will fly away from above the target, and no one can hit it.

If all 30mm cannons are used, it will lead to a decrease in the amount of ammunition and low durability.

This is also a difficult question. As soon as Novotney was about to answer, he heard a harsh air defense alarm sounding outside.

Not good, there is a situation!

After hearing the sound, Ted immediately picked up his flying hat from the side and ran out. Today, he and his boss Carl Snor were on combat readiness duty together.

Carl also rushed out, and the two of them rushed to the plane almost at the same time and jumped in. The coldness from the seat made his butt chill.

Turn the various electric gates and start the engine. When the roar of the engine came from the tail, the sound of Novotney running into the tower came from the headphones: "Note, in the southwest, a target flew from the Labrador Peninsula, with an altitude of 8,000 and a speed of 500, which may be an American reconnaissance aircraft."
