Chapter 976 Prince Wei Yangen 1)
Norwegian port.
An ordinary tractor car has a huge antenna unfolded at the upper end of the vehicle body. At this time, the antenna is rotating slowly. Every time it rotates, the target data will be refreshed.
On the radar operating vehicle beside him, two German radar soldiers were staring at the screen in front of them.
With the widespread use of transistors, German radars have been shrinking in size, power consumption has also decreased, and the heat generated has also decreased significantly. In the past, the radar car was like a steamer, but now, the heat generation has been greatly reduced, and Norway is also cooler, so it is quite comfortable to perform such search tasks.
Most of the time, there is nothing on the screen.
Germany did not station troops on a large scale in Norway. However, due to Norway's special geographical location, Germany deployed naval and air force in Norway, and there were radar guards next to these bases.
Once they get into evil with the Soviet Union, they will be dispatched at any time to cut off the Soviets' maritime routes.
This was definitely an accident.
Outside, the moon has not risen yet and the sky is pitch black. In this case, night flight will hardly be discovered, but it will be discovered by radar!
With gliders dragging behind, the new British sneak attack echelon planes cannot fly too low. After all, after the gliders leave the carrier, they need to glide and fly. They need to have enough altitude to reach their destination, otherwise it will be miserable.
Now, they are flying at an altitude of 6,000 meters and are already on the screen when they are still one hundred kilometers away from the Norwegian radar station.
At this time, it was ten:50 pm.
"No, I found suspicious targets, there are two in total." The radar operator shouted loudly: "It was flying from the direction of Greenland! Alarm, there is an enemy attack!"
Although Greenland was not occupied, Germany was quite strict in its defense against Greenland. The German Air Force firmly guarded their sky. Now, a group of suspicious aircraft were suddenly discovered!
The entire air defense network was triggered, and three minutes later, the order was passed to nearby night fighter units.
Not bad, it's just night fighter!
Last year, the German night fighter troops performed well and successfully intercepted the night bombing of British bombers, causing the British to suffer a great loss.
After that, the German night fighter unit was further expanded.
As Germany gradually became stronger, Germany was the only one who bullied others. As Germany was about to challenge the Soviet Union and the United States, these superpowers were crazy to retaliate, and the only way these countries could use was to attack at night.
Therefore, Germany must be prepared!
In Norway, there is also a night fighter unit stationed. The 6th Squadron of the 3rd Night Fighter Wing, a total of twelve He219 night fighter jets.
Norway's airspace is very empty, which facilitates the deployment and training of fighter troops. However, at least two night fighter jets are on standby every night.
When the alarm sounded at the base, Captain Heinrich Zu-Xiayan-Weitingen immediately grabbed his flying hat and rushed towards the landline.
Yes, he is a nobleman among the nobles and a member of the royal family.
Of course, the German royal family had long declined. Prince Wei Yangen, like other youths of his contemporaries, was full of fanatical love for the head of state. When he was in school, he became a follower of the head of state. He led a group of 150 Hitler youth to organize motivational activities in the camp. In the event, he also criticized his shortcomings wholeheartedly. Later, he did some imperial labor services.
In April 1936, he began his military career in the Bamberg 17 Cavalry Regiment, and then he promised himself to be a good soldier.
A year later, Prince Wei Yangen was included in the Air Force and was promoted to lieutenant in June 2018. He later increased his own mission to various known military airports and flew through various models of aircraft. Last year, he was promoted to captain and flew night fighters.
In history, when he was 27 years old, he had already achieved shooting down results from 83 aircraft, and he was the absolute ace of night fighters.
Judging from his appearance, Prince Wei Yangen is an absolute handsome Germanic guy. In the night battle, it has nothing to do with the handsome guy. He is just a cold hunter.
The he219 night fighter quickly started two engines. Prince Wei Yangen preheated the engine and the oil temperature rose, and drove the plane to start skiing.
The aircraft's speed is getting faster and faster. When it reaches the take-off speed, he pulls up the operating lever. This twin-engine fighter is more flexible than many single-engine fighters. For example, its maximum speed has reached 600 kilometers per hour!
It was pitch black all around. Prince Wei Yangen and his wingman formed a formation and followed the radio instructions to fly towards the target.
Behind him, the radar operator had already begun to fiddle with the airborne radar.
With Germany's continuous breakthroughs in electronic technology, the performance of airborne radars used by night fighters has made great progress. It can search aircraft about ten kilometers ahead, and the accuracy is quite high, so it can be guided to a visual distance!
The radar officer was very nervous. When he took off, he began to warm up the radar. Now, the radar has reached its normal working state. With the last switch turned on, strong electromagnetic waves radiated out from the eight antennas in front of the head of the aircraft, filling the airspace in front.
"Ground guidance tells us that we are still twenty kilometers away from the target and we are about to enter a contact state." Prince Wei Yangen said.
If you want to intercept at night, you must rely on radar. The ground radar provides guidance in the general direction and the airborne radar provides accurate guidance.
After saying that, he pushed the accelerator to the slow position, and the noise from the engines on both sides suddenly became less.
Now it's flying head-on, and the speed of your side is reduced, which can make the interception window bigger.
Soon, the plane was reduced to 200 kilometers per hour. For such an aircraft, the speed was already very low, but it still flew smoothly.
The night sky was still pitch black. In the rear cabin, the radar was still staring at the small cathode ray tube in front of him. Finally, two bright spots appeared on it.
"Discover the target, right ahead, ten kilometers!"
