Radar is the way of detection. If the radar wave returns to the transmitting antenna, it is an ordinary detection radar. If the radar wave returns to the guiding head of bombs or missiles and provides them with guidance information, it is radar guidance. In later generations, a large number of missiles, especially air-to-air missiles, are guided by radar.

This requires the accumulation of technology. The fact of early sparrow air-to-air missiles has shown how difficult it is to mature an advanced technology.

Germany has developed transistors and has not taken the road of semi-active radar guidance, because Chirac knows that this technology is immature. It is not too late to consider it after developing microelectronics and integrated circuits.

The United States does not.

In history, in addition to developing radio command guided bombs, Americans also developed semi-active radar guided bombs, including

The Swod MK-7 Pelican semi-active radar guided bomb was developed by the U.S. Defense Research Council for the U.S. Navy in 1942. The project was terminated in 44 because it had congenital defects.

(Swod, special weapons ammunition device.)

In the same year, the U.S. Navy also developed an active radar guided glide bomb parallel to the pelican for backup. Its vehicle shape is similar to that of an aircraft, and its warhead is a 1000 pound bomb. Because the detection signal of this bomb is sent by itself, it is called a bat, which is actually the principle of active radar missile, It is similar to the use of ultrasonic echo in nature.

The bat was originally named mk-57. Later, it was changed to Swod mk-9 for unification. At the end of 1944, the bat successfully threw in the test and entered the battle preparation in January 1945.

Now, this era is very different from history. Because Germany has made rapid progress in guidance technology and has shown great power in anti-ship operations for many times, the United States has also increased its research and development efforts and launched many projects. Up to now, there are anti-ship bombs that can be used.

Americans are under great pressure. Seeing that German warships are built like dumplings, they will soon dominate the Atlantic. If the United States does not take some countermeasures, can the United States hold the last territory of the free world?

The development of these projects is secret, so many people present don't know at all. Now, Arnold suddenly put forward it because it has reached the critical point.

Using B-29 bombers and carrying special anti-ship bombs, they fly over the island fleet and blow up the island people's warships. At least they should ensure to blow up their aircraft carriers. In this way, they can still reverse the situation of the war. When their aircraft carrier formation comes back, they will beat the remaining Island navies. This is their only choice!

It must be fast. The faster they react, the less time they have left for the islanders. Once the islanders have consolidated their base in midway, it will be difficult for their own side to start again.

"Well, send out the 58th bomber wing immediately. I hope it can surprise us." Roosevelt said, "we can't afford to fail again and again."

In the battle between the Soviet Union and Germany, the Soviet Union continued to fail and its territory was eroded. Now, hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were destroyed in the siege of Kiev. Everyone is not optimistic about the Soviet battlefield. Once the Soviet Union is defeated by Germany, Germany will pounce on the United States. If the United States cannot defeat the island countries now, the United States will be forced to fight on two fronts.

Now, the situation is absolutely unfavorable to the United States. The United States must use a victory to boost morale.

Arnold nodded.

In history, the 58th bomber regiment was also famous. After its establishment, at Roosevelt's insistence, the regiment was secretly deployed to China and used China as a base to attack the island country. Finally, the United States could fly directly over the head of the island country and drop bombs without the help of aircraft carriers.

Now, just after the establishment of this wing, what the United States needs to do is to use it to bomb the aircraft carrier formation of island countries!

With the order, the 58th bomber wing's station immediately entered the tense preparation. The resting pilot got up in drowsiness and was summoned into the pilot preparation room.

"Maybe many people don't know. Let me introduce here. Just an hour ago, the island's Navy did its best to occupy our Midway Island. This time, the islanders directly landed on our Midway Island." Major general Kenneth B. ULF, commander of the bomber wing, said: "now, the president personally signed the order. Our whole wing took off and immediately went to the waters of Midway Island to find the aircraft carrier formation of the islanders and blow it up!"

Midway was occupied. The news was immediately discussed among the pilots. The expressions on their faces were filled with righteous indignation. At the same time, they also knew that Hawaii was in danger and they had to contribute to the United States!

"The 444th bombing brigade and the 40th bombing brigade set out first and carried vb-1 bombs. Now the bombs are loading. Note that there are only five channels for simultaneous guidance, so it may take a long time to drop all the bombs. First, bomb the aircraft carrier of the islanders!"

"I see!" Cried the captain of the two brigades.

"The 462nd and 468th bombing brigades leave half an hour apart. You carry bat bombs and sink all the remaining warships of the islanders, so that the islanders can know the power of our bombers!"

"I see!"

"In order to avoid being intercepted by the islanders' fighters, our bombing altitude is preset at 8000 meters. If it is found that the islanders' fighters can fly to our altitude, it will be increased to 10000 meters." Major general ULF continued: "this bombing is related to the fate of our United States. We want to fight for our national destiny!"

"I see!" All the pilots answered loudly, "the interests of the United States are above all else!"

A pilot left the flight preparation room and ran to their plane.

Captain William omolay, the pilot, climbed down the gangway into the navigator's cabin in front of the B-29 bomber, with a chart in his hand.

Although this flight was temporary or at night, he did not have any psychological pressure. They flew over the route from the base to Hawaii more than once. This is a normal route. When he flew B-24, he flew back and forth dozens of times.

He knew that the difficulty was not to reach midway, but how to find the aircraft carrier formation of the island country. It was too difficult to find the formation on the vast sea.

Major general ULF also got into the cabin and sat in the cab. He would also participate in the bombing.

As if he knew the pilot's mind, he said: "over Pearl Harbor, all the maritime patrol aircraft have taken off to look for the island aircraft carrier formation."
