Chapter 1191 Gaoqibao Project - Leading the Way

The Death God 1c cruise missile is an improved type of Death God 1b. Unlike the traditional "improvement", many of the performances of Death God 1c have not improved compared to the Death God 1b, but have experienced a considerable decline.

First, the speed of Death 1c dropped from 900-950 km/h of Death 1b to 550-600 km/h. Secondly, the range of Death 1c decreased from 500 km of Death 1b to 300 km. Third, the shell of Death 1c was not as strong as Death 1b, and adopted a lot of "cut corners" design.

Through these three items, which are actually regressive improvements, the cost of Death 1c has dropped significantly compared to Death 1b. Although it is more expensive than the cheaper missiles of the V1 series, there is still the possibility of large-scale equipment for strategic bombing.

In addition to these three regressions, the real God of Death 1c has indeed made progress, that is, the accuracy of its guidance system has been greatly improved. However, this improvement is not achieved based on technological progress, but adopts a relatively mature radio guidance method. However, the real God of Death 1c's radio development system has also been innovative to a certain extent. It no longer requires operators to perform one-to-one manual remote control, but guides multiple missiles through a radio guidance signal, realizing "unmanned" and "1-to-manufacturing" radio remote control.

In other words, the Death 1c cruise missile must be led by an aircraft following a radio guide in the front to successfully reach the target. This is a missile that requires a guided aircraft.

The aircraft that acts as a guide is of course not a small, sturdy bomber like the me264 and ju288, but a me410b-6 night fighter bomber. Since the power of the radio guide and receiver (installed on missiles) is limited, a me410b-6 will usually only guide 10 death 1c missiles.

Tonight, in order to guide 480 Death 1c cruise missiles, Major General Werner Moldes Air Force arranged 48 me410b-6 night fighter bombers as guides, flying to Trinidad at a high speed of 550 kilometers per hour in front of 480 Death 1c missiles dropped by me264, ju288 and do217.

However, these 48 me410s are not all night fighters deployed tonight. Major General Moldes is a senior air force commander who is a pilot of the ace fighter. He is the world's most wise air combat expert. Naturally, he knows how to use tonight's battle to eliminate the American air power.

He knew very well that the difference between large and medium-sized bombers and heavy fighters such as me410 and he219 on the radar screen is so small that it is negligible, while missiles from the Death series and light fighters like Type Zero are also indistinguishable on the radar screen.

So when 480 me410, he219 and 480 death 1c flew to Trinidad, the island's radar would only detect a large bombardment with thousands of aircraft.

In this way, the Americans will definitely dispatch all night fighters to take off, and more than 400 me410 and he219 are waiting for them in the night sky!

However, Major General Moldes' goal is not only to use a nightly large air battle to severely attack the US air force, but also to use "thousand-multiple air strikes" to attract the attention of the US military, so as to cover 80 ju188s and 20 escort me410s that broke into Trinidad from ultra-low altitude to complete the combat mission of airdrop "mine consumption".

Major General Moldes also visited the front line tonight. The me264h radar early warning aircraft he was riding is now at an altitude of about 50 kilometers behind a large aircraft group composed of more than 400 me410 and he219.

In the spacious supercharged cabin of me264, there were dense spots of light in the middle of the radar screen, and the spots overlapped together, and the number was too large to count. An Air Force lieutenant and an Air Force sergeant sat shoulder to shoulder in front of the screen, staring at the dense spots of light flashing on it. Major General Moldes was sitting behind them, holding a telephone in his hand, staring at the screen with his brows slightly frowning.

Suddenly, the Air Force lieutenant shouted: "Enemy plane! The enemy plane was found, with a distance of 95, azimuth degree of 1.5, altitude of 6,000, and a quantity of more than 100...it is still increasing!"

"Come!" Moredes murmured in a low voice, then turned on the radio station in front of him and started calling: "I am Electronic Eye No. 11, call Thor 1, call Thor 1."

Thor 1 is the code name of the 11th HNA torpedo bombing aviation regiment that performs the mine-throwing mission. The 100 fighter jets of this aviation regiment participated in tonight's operation and carried 400 "Oyster Thunder". They are now following more than 80 kilometers behind a large aircraft group composed of more than 400 me410 and he219, flying at a sea-skipping altitude to avoid detection by US radars, and more than 400 missiles flying at a speed of 550 kilometers per hour in the sky.

(There were 480 at the time of launch and there were less than 430 still flying normally) Compared with the 400 "oyster thunders" they carry are the real treasures. If all "oyster thunders" are thrown near the Spanish port, then the most important port on Trinidad will be paralyzed. As for when it can be recovered, it depends on whether the Americans can be lucky to pick up a few "oyster thunders" and take them back and study them, and then come up with a way to deal with them.

Because the "Oyster Thunder" is a joint fuse mine and also has a water pressure fuse, it is difficult to remove it. Even the Germans themselves have no good idea. They can only throw deep-water bombs while dropping floating sound simulators (the deep-water bombs will produce huge water pressure when they explode), which is very inefficient. It takes a month to remove hundreds of "Oyster Thunders", but it only takes one night to lay them down.

If the Americans are unlucky and cannot pick up the "oyster thunder" that they accidentally dropped, they can only use countless deep-water bombs to carry out "sea-street bombing" in order to use the power of the explosion to destroy the "oyster thunder"... This is equivalent to plowing a large area of ​​sea with deep-water bombs!

"Electronic Eye No. 11, I am Thor 1." Lieutenant Colonel Gent Radsch, who was driving a ju188, pressed the throat communicator and responded, "Please instruct."

"There are hundreds of flies in front of the bee swarm. The seagull can throw stones, and the electronic eyes will follow the seagull."

"I understand, electronic eyes." Lieutenant Colonel Radsh breathed a sigh of relief and immediately issued an order to his subordinates, "I am Lieutenant Colonel Radsh, and the upper level is about to fight soon. Our opportunity is here. Everyone follows me and continue to maintain the height of the sea sweeping."

Flying at sea-skipping altitude at night is the unique skill of Germany's Ju188e-2 torpedo bombers and some Me410 fighter bombers. This not only allows them to avoid radar, but also makes it impossible for American fighters to attack and dive attacks. It is most likely to fall into the sea. It is also difficult to maintain the same altitude as these Ju188e-2 and Me410s, because the American radio gear is not as good as Germany.

However, it is also dangerous to have too low flight altitude, which is that it is easy to be hit by the anti-aircraft guns and ground firepower of surface ships, and it is also easy to hit the anti-air balloon or steel cables under the balloon.

So Lieutenant Colonel Radsch and his fleet must carefully fly around the coast of Trinidad, find the Port of Spain, and then cast the "oyster thunder" that makes everyone (including the Germans themselves) feel thrust.

"Lieutenant Colonel, look at the sky, it seems that the fight has begun!"

While the plane was moving forward in the dark, Lieutenant Colonel Radsch's navigator suddenly shouted. Radsch raised his head and saw a faint red light that quickly slid across the night sky in the sky directly in front of him. Radsch, who was a night fighter pilot, knew that the tracer bullets were sliding across the night sky.

"Yes, the fight started!"

"Lieutenant Colonel, who will win?" asked the Navigator.

"Of course it's our people!" Radsch said with great confidence. "Our He219 and Me410 are the best night fight planes. And Americans would never think that our fighter planes were escorting missiles."

Speaking of this, he withdrew his gaze and stared at the darkness ahead again. His navigator no longer spoke, nor cared about the fierce battle in the sky, but looked at the various instruments in the cabin in order to find the right direction.

"It seems like something," after a while, Radsch's voice sounded again, "the outline of the island is clearly shown on the horizon."

"That's Trinidad!" said the navigator excitedly. "Now turn west and fly along the edge of the island. When you reach the end and then north, you will soon enter the Bay of Paria. Then you can fly along the coastline for 15-20 minutes before you can drop mines. At the entrance to the Bay of Paria, there are American anti-aircraft gun positions, and on the beach of the west coast of Trinidad, their anti-aircraft guns must be taken care of."

The Bay of Paria, located between Trinidad and Venezuela, is not only a key to entering and leaving Trinidad, but also an important anchorage for the US Navy in the southeast of the Caribbean. Therefore, the defense is very tight. A large number of anti-aircraft guns and searchlights are deployed at the two entrances in the north and south of the bay and near the beach, and sometimes there will be Fletcher-class destroyers cruised.

However, tonight, the anti-aircraft guns seemed to have no energy to take care of Rads's fleet. Just as they were approaching the south bank of Trinidad, the anti-aircraft guns on the island had already shone brilliantly.
