Chapter 63 New Air Battle Order

Timro, Sweden, is a harbor city located in the southwest of the Bay of Pondia. Whether it is a bloody battle, a cruel World War II or a soul-stirring third battle, the flames of the European continent have not affected this beautiful and quiet little place. Thousands of Swedish residents who have lived here for generations make a living from timber and fishery. They enjoy a monotonous and peaceful life. The Bay of Pondia, which is basically frozen for five months a year, is also one of the rare seas of war that ends in this era.

Seidesa Airport, about 60 kilometers away from Timro, was originally a small airport discovered and opened by flight enthusiasts. It used to be only for small private jet takeoffs and landings. Until the summer of 1946, Swedish Aircraft Corporation (referred to as Saab) bought it as a new aircraft test site. The size of the airport was thus doubled, and a hangar and workshop with multiple arc-shaped domes were established near the runway. At the beginning, the residents of Timro only heard that the overall scale and technical strength of the Saab Company after the reorganization had been greatly expanded. Soon after, they began to frequently witness various types of aircraft appearing in nearby airspace.

Most of them are new aircraft without propellers. According to past experience, the experimental flight of new aircraft has always attracted more or less attention from the outside world, but the war collision between the Eastern and Western camps has attracted the attention of the entire planet to the vast Eastern European land. For a long time, outsiders who came to Timro were all staff, pilots, pilots, and service personnel of Saab. These people received enviable salaries, which made Timro's only taverns become unprecedentedly prosperous. The owners had money in their hands and bought large buckets of good wine when the harbor was unfrozen. Some charming women and all kinds of men also appeared on Timro Street.

Head.According to this momentum, Timro will be one of the most dynamic cities in central and eastern Sweden in less than a few years. However, the good times did not last long. Pilots, pilots and service staff no longer visited the taverns here. According to insiders, Saab has established a comprehensive building at Seidesa Airport, which has all kinds of fitness and entertainment facilities. A large number of young female staff members have also come. With increasingly strict management, the airport's contact with the outside world has gradually left only trucks that come to purchase fresh fish regularly. It was from this time that the frequency of aircraft in nearby airspace has increased significantly, and they are no longer satisfied with the stability.

In the straight flight, residents kept witnessing jets juggling maneuvers in the air, such as diving from high altitude and then pulling up quickly, or rolling continuously and turning rapidly. In addition, residents sometimes hear faint sounds of gunfire and explosions during clear and cloudless days or nights, which are inconspicuous small details for most people. A few veterans who have traveled to Finland as volunteers are more sensitive to this. They protested to the representatives of Saab on the grounds that safety was threatened, demanding that they cancel weapon tests around Seidesa and reduce flights. When they found that the protest was fruitless, they wrote to the government again.

Swedish political fu put aside the incident of Saab flight test disturbing the civilians. In the spring of 1947, the Swedish Air Force decided to order its newly developed "Black Ghost" from Saab. Although this twin-engine jet fighter is obviously different from the former Third Reich air combat weapon me-262, many details can be seen in the eyes of insiders. In the confrontation exercise with the British "Vampire" jet fighter introduced by the Swedish Air Force a few years ago, the "Black Ghost" relied on

The aerodynamic performance and the radar-cannon system introduced by the Swiss company Erliton have achieved a comprehensive overwhelming advantage. Since the prototypes have been tested and the Swedish Air Force is very satisfied with their excellent performance, the first batch of formal orders reached 200 aircraft, and the mass-produced "Black Ghost" is US$420,000. Including technical services and later improvements, the total amount of this contract is US$109 million, which is the highest order ever in the Swedish Air Force!

Just as the Swedish Air Force was looking forward to the delivery of the first formal production "Black Ghost" and the delivery of the first formal production "Black Ghost", these new fighters had long appeared in northern Norway, both Scandinavian. Before leaving the "Northern Country" to return to the Netherlands, Lynn followed Rommel and the current Imperial Air Force Commander General Schchenoff to the secret air force base "Leipzig", about 200 kilometers northeast of Narvik, where he witnessed the wonderful performance of "Black Ghost". In the battle drill with the me-262a, the new fighter produced by Saab, which owns the dominant controlling stake in the empire, won a five-to-three victory. In other words, when the "Swallow" in the continental continental faced against "Black Ghost", he could only shoot down three of the opponent at the cost of losing five. This was the drill data obtained when the elite pilots of the empire took over the new fighter jets for a short time.

Linn is not unfamiliar with the "Black Ghost". He was unable to participate in the merger and acquisition of Sweden's Saab Company because he went to the Soviet Union to command the assassination of Stalin. However, this plan to lay eggs with chickens was first clearly proposed by him. The empire's aviation technology, expert power, Sweden's industrial foundation and military and political support really lived up to expectations and developed a comprehensive enhanced version of the me-262. Not only that, General Schchenoff revealed to Linn that the two-seat "Black Ghost" had also been developed and completed.

The prototype is being tested at the aircraft test site in Sweden. If the first batch of production models are successful, they will become the new iron wing of the Imperial Air Force before autumn arrives. This two-seat fighter is different from the heavy fighter in the propeller era. Its maneuverability seems to have decreased compared to the single-seat model, but the combat effectiveness of air combat has been greatly improved in theory. The reason for such a wonderful change is that the new fire control radar produced in Switzerland and the x-4d air-to-air guided missile produced in Argentina are the root of "magic"!

Although not considered a stunning World War II military fan, Lin En's experience as a World War II section of the military website still allowed Lin En to gain a rich reserve of technical and tactical knowledge before traveling through time. Among the numerous technical wealth of the Third Reich, the x-4 played a very delicate role as the ancestor of missiles. On the one hand, its emergence meant that human air combat history has since jumped to a new level. On the other hand, although 225 x-4 prototypes had been produced by August 1944, the third Reich, which was in decline, was no longer able to carry out larger-scale production, and even failed to officially put this extremely advanced weapon into actual combat, thus leaving future generations with endless regrets and imaginations.

During his tenure at the Strategic Staff, Lynn had a comprehensive understanding of the post-war layout of the empire. South America, with many German immigrants, was not only a refuge for a considerable number of military and political personnel, but also a fertile ground for the Third Reich to retain and develop military strength. With the implementation of the "Aryan Ark Program", thousands of military experts and technicians arrived in Argentina, Chile and other countries by transport submarines or through neutral countries, including Rema Horton, the genius pioneer of wing aircraft. They continued to engage in military scientific research at local secret bases or factories built under the guise of civil industry. In the past two years when they did not have to worry about Allied bombing, they have achieved remarkable achievements in key areas such as wireless guidance, microwave radar, and high-speed torpedoes, and became a major source of enriched uranium for the Imperial nuclear weapons project from almost zero.

Constrained by key technologies such as telex control systems, although the go-229 wing aircraft project has created a new prototype in Argentina, it still cannot make breakthroughs in practical use. There are often gains and losses in the technical field. After sufficient improvements, the wire-guided wireless air-to-air guided missiles have shown amazing air combat strength in live ammunition inspection. At the Nordic Air Force Base called "Leipzig", Lynn saw a physical object transported from South America. The x-4d missile body is slender and cigar-shaped, with 4 swept main wings and 4 smaller tail wings. At the tops of the two opposite main wings are storage compartments for two control wires, and at the tops of the other two main wings are tracer tubes, which facilitates pilots to observe their heading. The tail ends

There is a control mechanism that can control the pitch and deflection of the missile, and the power device is a rocket engine. Compared with the original model, a major improvement in the x-4d is the use of more stable and reliable solid-state fuel, and the main structure inside the missile has been re-arranged. The battle base of the missile head weighs 20 kilograms and the radius of the broken radius is 7.6 meters. It can be detonated remotely by the pilot, detonated by impact or detonated by the acoustic near-explosion fuse according to the noise of the target engine. After the missile is launched, it rotates at a speed of about one week per second to reduce the impact of the engine's uneven thrust and asymmetric aerodynamic surface. The gyroscope is responsible for monitoring the attitude of the missile, so that the heading can be accurately modified according to the control instructions even during rotation.

Although the x-4 was originally designed for single-seat aircraft, it was very difficult to operate missiles and aircraft at the same time, so they decided to use multiple aircraft as combat platforms as early as early 1945. Before the two-seat "Black Ghost" was in place, the me-262   B-2a two-seat night fighter was the only effective carrier of the Imperial Air Force. A typical attack process is: the carrier reaches the same or slightly higher height as the target, the guided missile is dropped by a special pylon, and the pilot uses a rocker remote-controlled missile in the cockpit through the radar fire control system. 7 seconds after launch, the acoustic fuze and impact fuze are activated.

, after 30 seconds, the self-destruction device will be activated, and the acoustic fuse is activated when it is about 40 meters away from the target and detonates the warhead when it is about 5 meters away from the target. At an altitude of 3,000 meters, the maximum speed of x-4d can reach 1,200 kilometers per hour, and the control forms include wire guide and wireless. Without being disturbed by enemy radio equipment, the wireless remote control device can play a role within 10 kilometers. The wired remote control effect is similar to a wire guide torpedo. The maximum effect distance in air combat is 4 kilometers, far exceeding the effective combat distance between the US, Soviet and British-launched combat machine guns and air-air rockets.
