Chapter 1773 Electromagnetic Interference
The Hindenburg.
At this time, the ship's radar can also clearly capture the target, and all anti-aircraft artillery are nervously preparing, especially the 128mm anti-aircraft artillery, which has the farthest range. As long as the opponent is close, it will fire without hesitation. .
However, the Americans were very cunning and dropped bombs in advance before they got close to the shooting range of the surface ships' anti-aircraft guns.
This is the advantage of high-altitude bombing. The higher the height, the farther it is thrown. At this time, the B-29 bomber is still a dozen kilometers ahead of them, beyond the maximum slant range of the 128mm anti-aircraft gun.
Therefore, in the face of the bombardment of the Americans, Raeder on the Hindenburg could only issue an order: "The entire fleet, full left rudder, open the jamming device."
The accuracy of dropping bombs at an altitude of 10,000 meters is quite poor. Now, the entire fleet can swipe the ground with a full left rudder, which can make those bombs miss.
However, the Americans must have come well prepared. When bombing at an altitude of 10,000 meters, most of the free-fall bombs will definitely miss their targets. Their bombs are just to cover up the real killers.
The kind of bombs that can be precisely guided, just like the German bombs, the Americans already have.
If it was the first time they met, maybe the German fleet would suffer, but this is not the first time. The island fleet suffered heavy losses under the bombardment of this special bomb, and how could Germany make the same mistake!
The President of Cyric has always attached great importance to electronic warfare. The transistors were produced in advance, and the pre-research of various electronic technologies, including the emergence of electronic computers, were the results of the first-hand promotion of the President of Cyric.
And just after such precision-guided bombs appeared in the arsenal of the United States, Germany fought tit for tat and developed an electromagnetic interference device.
Every large warship is equipped with this special electronic equipment. For example, on the Hindenburg, a Yagi antenna stands above the turret at the rear. At this time, this antenna is continuously sending out Unleashing electromagnetic waves, it's so powerful that when it's activated, the entire interior of the ship's cabin dims the bulbs.
Electromagnetic interference is a science, what is the frequency of the other party? What band is used to interfere? Does the interference require a normal signal, or does it simulate the other party's signal? These are specific problems of electromagnetic countermeasures.
But now, there is no need to think about it so much for the time being. It is enough to launch disordered electromagnetic waves against the sky. The huge electromagnetic waves fill the sky and immediately drown out the guidance signals of the other party.
In the words of later generations, this is called full-band, large-blocking interference. This is the most disturbing interference method. No radio communication equipment can work under such interference, even if the frequency band is reserved in advance, Germany's frequency hopping. The radio was also getting some interference at this time, not to mention the American guided bombs.
At this time, the American bombardier in the sky didn't know it yet. He just thought that the bomb he threw was malfunctioning, and couldn't help shouting: "Damn, mechanical failure, I can't control it!"
The bombardier was annoyed, and watched helplessly as the opposing fleet on the sea turned, avoiding the area where his own bombs had fallen, but was powerless.
At this time, the pilot above his head couldn't care about so much. The noisy signal in the earphone made him a little tinnitus. He stared nervously at the sky, a German jet was diving towards his plane.
"Tom tom tom!" The opponent's nose and both sides of the wing, three 20mm cannons fired together, and dense shells flew towards them, so the pilot immediately turned the bomber to the left, trying to avoid the opponent of cannonballs.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The nose avoided, but the position of the bombardier on the nose was not avoided. The 20mm shell knocked on the front glass and blew the bombardier to pieces.
Then, the air flow in the pressurized cockpit was outward, and everything inside was outward, and the bloody body of the bombardier was sucked out of the cabin along the blasted hole.
"No, we have to lower the altitude!" the pilot shouted loudly. He pulled down the oxygen mask and put it on his mouth to avoid falling into a coma quickly in the depressurized cockpit. At the same time, he also had to lower to the Going into the dense atmosphere below, the thin air and cold temperatures at high altitudes will kill them.
The 444th Bomber Brigade at the front had no results, and the 40th Bomber Brigade, which followed closely behind them, was already panicking.
The jets, right in front of them, laid out two lines of interception, just as they had intercepted the first group of bombers.
How to do?
This German tactic is quite effective against densely flying bombers, and dense rockets meet dense formations, which is a perfect match.
Looking at the second bomber formation in front, Nowotny was very excited and continued to give orders to his formation: "Attention, eight rockets, the salvo starts!"
Just now, only four fighters were launched per fighter, but now they have fewer fighters. In order to increase the hit rate, the number must be increased. This time, let the other side continue to fight!
One by one rockets, dragging the fiery flames, flew towards the opposite aircraft group. If it could be the same as last time, the first round of rockets could kill half of the opponent's aircraft.
The rest, and then use the cannon to solve.
But this time, it was obviously different from last time.
Watching the rockets come flying, the leader of the bomber formation was not as firm as Kenneth. After all, the bomber formation in front of them was destroyed. The rockets came, it was their rain of death.
"Disperse, the formation immediately disperses!" shouted the captain, pushing the lever and diving into his bomber.
Yes, diving is also a good way to get out, as long as it's not on the opponent's trajectory, it's guaranteed not to be shot down.
The bombers on both sides of the formation immediately dodged to both sides, while the bombers in the middle of the formation were a little flustered at this time.
A bomber in the middle, the pilot quickly pushed the lever to the left and the rudder on the left, hoping to dodge from the left, but when he turned his head, the bomber on the left was rapidly enlarging its size.
Damn it! He immediately pushed the lever forward, hoping to avoid it, but he didn't expect that the bomber on the left also began to dodge downward, so the noses of the two bombers collided violently.
At the nose of the machine, the two bombardiers watched each other rush over, watch the glass shatter, and then passed out in a coma from the huge impact.
They died quickly, and in the rear, the rest of the crew, watching in horror as the fire from the impact, was raging violently.
