Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 53: Paper-lined defense line (3)

The Britons have big brains, and the Germans have a wide range of ideas. Throughout the history of the development of weapons in World War II, you will find that both of them are actually quite a lot of joy. They both like to climb the technology tree very much. Although sometimes they will make some achievements, but More often than not, a bunch of exotic flowers were produced. The British guy’s brain hole was opened to study dead light, the German guy’s head was flooded to study flying saucers, 300-ton tanks, and 100,000-ton aircraft carriers. Where is it?

bf110 is a work born after the Germans opened their brains. From the beginning, they skewed the product of the technology tree. Strategic fighter. . . . Air destroyer. . . . Really thanks to the German Aeronautics and Technology Agency can also compile a special term for bombing destroyer. However, whether it is from the strategic theory or tactical positioning on which it was born, or even to delineate its use and formulate performance indicators, the entire plan from the beginning of research and development to the birth, the whole process of high energy, the entire R&D process is full of complaints from various airline designers: Don’t know, don’t know, don’t understand, impossible.

The air wars of the First World War were direct, violent, rough and bloody. The two warring cliques fumbled with a bunch of practical air combat tactics and theories on the corpses of countless enemy pilots. Then, in the short post-war prosperity period, a bunch of "military theorists" and "war technical scientists" appeared. At that time, various brain holes exploded. The air combat theories have sprung up like mushrooms, and all of them claim to have "solid" "scientific data" as the basis, and they can casually lead the development trend of the entire air force.

The Germans who crouched in the dark and grinded their paws, of course, were unwilling to stay behind. The secretly developed technical equipment, training personnel, and reserve technology have never ceased tactical and strategic research. They are desperately absorbing those "advanced ideas". What is worse is that the people who identify whether these ideas are the essence or the dross are called Goering.

The German has a rigid character. If the first node is crooked, this group of dead eyes will still move forward along the crooked path, if it hits the south wall. They will try their best to drill a hole in the south wall, if the whole body can not drill through, then cut off the body. Regardless of whether you are climbing or rolling, as long as you guarantee that you can reach the end point, you will complete the task.

Therefore, even if the German has distorted the technological tree in history, he can basically always show you a finished product that at least looks like it is. For example, the rat-like tank with a name full of amusement, this group of guys can still make a prototype that can be driven before the end. . . . But do not look at the parameters according to this thing. When this thing arrives at Normandy Beach. I am afraid that the Vietnam War is over.

The bureaucrats of Nazi Germany never considered the process, as long as they could achieve a satisfactory result in their hearts, they could completely disregard how much manpower and material resources would be wasted, how many detours they took, how much time was spent, even if the result was the next day. Beam of the Pavilion.

Speaking of which, it is no wonder that the purpose of the Germans to make bf110 is now. The Germans actually want an f18. A twin-engine, fast speed, long range, fierce firepower, ability to fight in air, bombing, escort, patrol, and investigation. A versatile fighter that can climb, turn and attack. It is not too abrupt to put it on the basis of modern technology, but in the era of World War II. This is a bit ahead of schedule.

When the Luftwaffe sent the bidding data to the aviation manufacturing companies, the giants of Messerschmidt and Fokwolf actually wanted to throw the bidding book to Goering’s face. What is a bomber-destroyer? ! Where this guy wants is a heavy fighter, it is basically a light high-speed bomber that can fight with a single-engine fighter. Is this guy's brain full of water, then he will go toss the navy, bastard!

But tempted by the orders of the Luftwaffe and at the same time intimidated by the power of the Ge fat man, since the brain hole has been opened, in view of their professional ethics, they must find a way to fill him in. If you can't meet all the standards, at least part of them must be achieved.

Finally, the German Air Force thought for a long time that these requirements were too unreliable. The final solution was to cut off the bombing function, take out a separate tender, and then came up with the high-speed bomber ju88. In terms of fighter functions, it focuses on high speed, range and firepower. Dornier and Henschel were directly struck because of their professional differences. Fokker Wolf did not understand the situation, and the resulting prototype was even larger than the he-111.

So in the end Messerschmitt succeeded, Goering satisfied, a huge, two-seater, fast, fierce fire, moderate voyage, but did not know what to do with the heavy fighter was born. Not only was it born, but in three short years, it had vigorously built more than 600 three models in succession. The Luftwaffe also specially dispatched excellent pilots from the fighter wing to serve as the pilot of this new type of aircraft. A new organizational unit was set up to expel the aircraft wing.

The sun is shining and the rare comfortable weather on the British Channel, but for the pilot of a bf110c4 reconnaissance aircraft, the weather is really bad, because like the visibility today, British pilots can see at a glance five kilometers away he.

The driver and the rear seat machine gunner sit in a long, ridiculous, flower-like cabin, with a distance of two meters between the front and back, and a radio station and two high-performance cameras in the middle. The communication between the two can only rely on the on-board wired communication system or Call out loud. The reconnaissance plane was painted with the same blue-gray color as the ordinary fighter planes. The front section of the fairing of the two engine nacelles was painted bright yellow. From the side, it looked like a yellow nose bf109 from the side. The blue gray between the front and rear seats The body is painted with a line of cursive characters "Hansburg".

Taking off from the front-line airport on the French coast, the aircraft did not climb to cruise altitude as usual, but remained at a very low altitude of 30 meters and flew towards the British coast against the sea.

"There are no enemy planes in the center line of the strait, everything is normal." The dispatcher of the frontline ground command post informed the latest air situation with a wave of rigid sounds.

"Three minutes later, the center line of the strait was crossed, and the course turned to 090." The rear seat machine gunner and correspondent and navigator and camera operator and lookout, the German Air Force Corporal Hans reported to the front seat pilot German Air Force Sergeant Hans.

"Understood, it looks very smooth at the moment, but the visibility is too good." The pilot pressed the aviation watch, added a little throttle, and prepared to steer with a slope.

"This way you can get a very clear picture. If the information obtained by the squadron leader is correct, then we may not encounter the interception of British fighters from beginning to end." The machine gunner made a tick record on the route node Next time, the reconnaissance aircraft began to turn slowly.

"At a height of 30 meters, the radar station in the United Kingdom will not be able to detect it. I hope it is correct. Who knows, I have never heard of the British having a long-range radar before." The pilot pulled the rod back and straightened the fuselage.

"I have seen this thing from the shore of Calais with high-powered telescopes. I always thought it was the signal tower of the radio station."

"Where was I at the time?"

"In the pub owner Janet's bed."

"You went to the beach alone?"

"To observe the enemy's movements."

"There is fighter activity in area four, pay attention to observation." The rigid sound of the dispatcher of the ground command post was inserted.

"Area 4... 50 kilometers from our target area, right... right, pay attention to the right."

The pilot narrowed his eyes and looked into the air in front of the right. "Nothing at all."

"Attention, see the coast, change the height, and pull it to two hundred meters." Messerschmitt began to accelerate towards the gray-green coastline ahead.

The flight is as perfect as a textbook, it is completely in line with the flight route on the air route map, passing the waves on the coast, the pilot saw the goal of the mission at a glance.

"Shore-based defensive positions, trenches... bunkers...fire points... lookout towers...they were completely unprepared, all shot down."The pilot gently brought the joystick down and the plane began to move along the coastline. Passing the fuselage sideways from the front of the British defensive position.

"Photographing...Stabilizing, five seconds, four seconds, three seconds, two seconds, one second... Go around again. Go to the left." The machine gunner turned on the camera's automatic camera switch, and then picked up The handheld camera began to shoot towards the position.

He could clearly see the jumps on the British ground. The German's low-altitude breakthrough hit the British by surprise. Although the air defense whistle was arranged and the sentry heard the sound of the aircraft engine that was covered by the waves for most of the time, he focused his attention on the high altitude. He did not expect that the enemy aircraft would even Flying over the sea.

This defensive position was obviously against the landing forces. It was built on a coastal cliff close to the beach. The British dug along the cliff four rows of 50-meter curved tooth trenches, and cut off the bushes on the cliffs that blocked the shooting line. A lot of boxy shelters and material stacks were dug in the trenches, covered with camouflage nets and log tops. The trenches had a recessed covered air defense bunker every 10 meters, the front of the positions and A lot of semi-arc or round machine gun fire points were built on both sides, and a circle of solid soil bags was surrounded in front of the fire point. Wicker walls, pine floors, and drainage ditches are all available. Wire mesh piles are laid on both sides of the position. Four traffic trenches bend around the ground and lead directly to a small forest behind the position. Obviously there are other arrangements inside.

"A decent defense position, but..." The machine gunner lowered the movie camera in his hand. "Go around again, go to the left side of the position. Let's take another film."

The reaction of the British on the ground was a bit ugly. A group of soldiers wearing mauve uniforms and mki pot-shaped helmets ran in a row. The air defense bunker was crowded with people. The German pilot saw a guy just got into a certain one. The bunker was opened by a big foot from inside. There were machine gun bunkers, but no machine guns were placed, there were artillery bunkers, but no artillery was placed, there were soldiers, but there were no rifles and officers. . . Uh. . . There are no officers. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and faster!
