Chapter 146 German Counterattack 2

() This is a war room. Although it is daytime, because the door is closed and the heavy curtains on the windows are drawn tightly, the room must be illuminated by lights. In this room

In the central yang, there is a large sand table from an airport.

"Is this sandbox model accurate?" asked a scar-faced man with the rank of major.

"Major, our army once captured Tula, so we know the situation of several airports near Tula. According to our air force's reconnaissance, the team that attacked us should be stationed at this airport. We have it in hand.

We have information about the situation of this airport in 1941, and based on this information and the intelligence obtained from recent aerial reconnaissance, we built this sandbox."

"How many aerial reconnaissances did you conduct after the attack?" Skorzeny crossed his hands on his chest and continued to ask.

"I conducted 6 aerial reconnaissances. The first 4 were conducted in rainy weather. Three of them did not find the target. Another time I flew over the airport and took some photos of the target airport. I encountered enemies on the way back.

The reconnaissance aircraft intercepted the aircraft and relied on means such as drilling into the clouds to return safely. However, due to bad weather conditions, the air defense deployment near the airport was not detected. The last two times we were dispatched on sunny days, and as a result, the

None of the reconnaissance planes came back."

"The defense is so tight?" Skorzeny smiled, "This is really challenging."

"Do we have any airport with a similar layout to this one?" he then asked.

"There are too many. Most of the Russian airports are built according to the same model. The basic style and layout are not much different."

"Then can you lend us an airport in the near future?"

"Major, you must submit this request to a higher authority."

"Well, I understand. By the way, have you conducted many reconnaissances on this airport before?" Skorzeny thought of something again.

"Colonel, as far as I know, we haven't conducted reconnaissance near Tula for a long time. In fact, if there weren't various signs that the enemy planes that attacked us set off from Tula, we wouldn't have done it at all.

Go scout that area," the Air Force liaison officer replied.

"Why is this happening?" Skorzeny's expression became serious.

"Major, you have to know that the range of most of our bombers is very limited. Although Tula is still within the range of our bombers, if the bombers want to attack the targets there, the amount of ammunition they carry will be greatly reduced, and the strike intensity will be reduced.

Not enough. Moreover, our fighter jets have a shorter range and cannot provide full escort for bombers. In this way, the risk of attacking targets near Tula will be very high. Since..."

"Since attacking Tula is less effective and more dangerous, there is certainly no need for all air forces to pay attention to Tula." Skorzeny took over his words, "Then your recent reconnaissance operations will probably give them something.

Jing Jing. Well, from the fact that the two reconnaissance planes you sent failed to come back, we can see that they are indeed Jing Jing. This is not good... This will affect our plan..." Scholz

Ni was pacing back and forth in the war room.



"During this period, German reconnaissance planes have appeared near our airport many times. What do you think of this?" Ron asked at the United Air Force meeting.

"The Germans must be doing this to get back some ground with us." Quanri Dubu said, "If it were me, I would suffer such a big loss and I wouldn't be able to bear it if I don't get something back."

.”

"But it's not easy for the Germans to attack us. The nearest German airport is nearly 600 kilometers away from us. The German bombers can reach us, but their fighter jets can't fly that far. They plan to let the bombers run naked.

Are you coming to air raid us? If so, it will really be a meal delivered to our door." Another pilot said.

"Do you think they will use the same thing used to attack London to attack us?" The person who said this was an American pilot named Neo.

"Don't worry about that," Ron replied, "The facility for developing Shev1 is not small and can't be built in such a short time. And the equipment is also not sufficient. So far, we and the British have never discovered

The distance between the firing device and London is more than 350 kilometers. This actually shows how far this thing has a range. This thing will definitely not be able to reach us."

"So, General Ron, what are you going to do if you are a German?" Pokryshkin asked.

"I, um... how about this, let's each take a piece of paper and write down our thoughts on it. See if there is any difference?" Ron suddenly said something like this in a bad mood.

"Okay, let's do it now." This old-fashioned routine in China was quite novel in the eyes of the Russians and Americans. The pilots were immediately interested, and some people immediately brought paper and pens.

Ron wrote these words on a piece of paper: "Night bombing." Ron knew that unlike the British and Germans, the Soviet Union lacked night fighters. Ron vaguely remembered that the Soviets seemed to use PE-2 bombers to modify

We bought a night fighter, but the number is very limited. In addition, there is no radar, so we can only rely on searchlights to fight, which is probably not very efficient. So Ron thinks the safest way is to bomb at night. Although the precision of night bombing is not good,

These are all problems, but at least safety is relatively guaranteed.

At this time, Ron saw that Pokryshkin had also written it, so he handed over the note he had written and said to Pokryshkin: "Exchange."

Pokryshkin took Ron's note with a smile, and at the same time handed the note he had written to Ron. Ron opened the note, and there were only two words on it: "Night Attack."

The two people laughed at the same time, and then each raised the note in their hands to show everyone.

"So, how should we respond?" someone asked.

"With good control of the lights and some electronic interference, we should be able to reduce the enemy's efficiency to a very low level," Ron said.

During World War II, during night bombing, ground markers could not be used to correct the route like during the day. Without special navigation technology, if you want to attack a target that is a little further away, you may not be able to find the target, and the trip will be in vain.

This kind of thing will become the norm. For example, during the Battle of Britain, German bombers tried to attack London at night. As a result, due to navigation difficulties at the beginning, many bombers could only drop bombs into British wheat fields.

Strange circle. Later, relying on radio navigation technology, we were able to accurately find London.

At that time, the Germans set up two radio transmitters at the same distance from the intersection of the left and right ends of a vertical line pointing directly to London. They sent out radio signals of comparable strength to the flying aircraft. The aircraft passed by

Use the signal strength received from the left and right ends to determine whether your position is left or right, and adjust the heading.

Of course, the British also have a way to deal with it, which is electronic interference. They use their own radio devices to send out the same signals as the Germans, thus interfering with the German navigation. So how do the British troops navigate their own night bombing operations? You need to know

, the target that the British want to attack is thousands of kilometers away. In fact, it is simple. The British rely on celestial navigation. That is

Use the starry sky to determine longitude and latitude. This is an uninterruptible navigation method, but it has high requirements for the professional quality of personnel. Germany lacks long-range bombers, so naturally it will not train a large number of personnel with this skill. Therefore, they may also

The method used in the Battle of Britain will continue to be used. Then, preparing corresponding jamming equipment is an extremely effective method.

"In addition, if the Germans want to bomb us, they must first gather bombers at nearby airports. We can also monitor the Germans' nearby airports at any time. With slight modifications, the P-81 is a good reconnaissance aircraft.

Go high and go fast," Pokryshkin said.

"Recently, after the Germans suffered this blow from us in Poland, intelligence showed that jet activity had almost stopped. We could also reduce the number of safari flights in Poland and send some aircraft to operate near several nearby German airfields.

Safari mission.”

"Speaking of safari, I have another idea..." an American pilot interrupted.



"I need your air force to first launch a series of feint attacks to distract the enemy and shift their focus to defensive bombing. Only in this way can we achieve a surprise attack when the enemy is already alert.

"Skorzeny said.

"During the period of our training and preparation, your air force is best able to launch one or two air strikes. Then publicize the victory of the air strikes in newspapers and radio stations, and then reduce or simply stop reconnaissance activities. In this way, the enemy will most likely

They will think that our attack on them is over, and they will relax their vigilance, so our opportunity will come."

"Okay, Major, I will take your suggestions back." The air force liaison officer replied, "In addition, we found this airport south of Kiev, and its condition is very close to the target airport. We can

I'll lend it to you, and you and your subordinates can go there immediately until the mission is over."

"Haha, thank you for your cooperation." Skorzeny laughed, which made the scars on his face twitch and look particularly ferocious. "We will get over it, but we just need to
