World War II is the catalyst of advanced technology, especially radar.

Before World War II, radar was just a concept, but after World War II, all kinds of radars have been able to have a perfect actual combat state.

For radar, the most critical component is the magnetron, which is a special vacuum tube that can release electromagnetic waves from inside. Yes, it is the element that emits electromagnetic waves. Without it, there would be no radar.

Historically, the magnetron existed in 1921, but the multi cavity high-energy magnetron was not invented by Randall and bout of the University of Birmingham until 1939.

Radar waves have different wavelengths and frequencies. For example, in future generations, meter wave radar was used to combat stealth aircraft. The longer the wavelength, the easier it is to radiate energy and have a longer detection distance.

However, its accuracy is not enough. In order to improve the resolution better, we must reduce the wavelength of the radar. This is the use of multi cavity high-energy magnetron, which enables the radar to work in the microwave band with greater pulse intensity. It improves the target comprehensive resolution accuracy, azimuth accuracy and range accuracy by an order of magnitude, makes the antenna smaller and higher performance, makes the sea surface and terrain interference clutter better detected, makes the pulse width reach the microsecond level, shortens the minimum detection distance from half a mile to hundreds of yards, and makes the interceptor's guns and guns completely controlled by radar, The bulky antenna can be reduced to fit into a wing or a pod the size of a bomb.

After talking for a long time, now ordinary shipborne radar can only know that the enemy aircraft is in a certain airspace, but the specific location is unclear and can not guide the naval gun to intercept. However, due to the improvement of accuracy, this new fire control radar perfectly realizes the purpose of fire control radar. It can guide the anti-aircraft gun, perfectly turn to the position of the target, and then fire!

The former radar of Germany was mainly developed by introducing magnetron from island countries. After conquering Britain, the technology of multi cavity high-energy magnetron was also obtained by Germany. Later, based on this magnetron, Germany developed the first gun aiming radar.

Now, this radar is installed on the luzov to control the double mounted 88mm anti-aircraft gun. After receiving the command, the preheated radar immediately starts up, and the 2900 MHz radar wave immediately scans towards the cloud.

The clouds formed by water vapor condensation cannot block electromagnetic waves. Only the aluminum skin of the fighter can clearly reflect these echoes. Now, with the echoes, they accurately flash on the screen of the fire control radar.

Then, the radar soldiers began to report quickly: "altitude 2500, azimuth 0-3-6, elevation 75 degrees, 3 minutes and 2 seconds, distance 301, please calibrate the firing data immediately."

It is still impossible for the radar to automatically control the anti-aircraft gun. The current gun fire control radar can automatically calculate the azimuth, elevation, distance and altitude of the target according to the detected target data, and calculate the important information of firing data and firing, which is quite efficient.

While the radar continued to automatically track the target, on the artillery position of the antiaircraft gun, the Gunners were rapidly turning the steering wheel and fine-tuning the antiaircraft gun. Then, fireballs burst out of the muzzle.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

At this time, suddenly, a huge wave hit the hull of luzov. With the shaking of the hull, the muzzle also shook and missed.

On the warship, the base of the naval gun will shake with the hull, so that the naval gun will deviate when shooting. In order to prevent shooting errors, on the Bismarck, the 105mm naval gun is equipped with a three-axis self stable platform. No matter how the hull shakes, the naval gun stands tall, which shows the strength of this naval gun.

However, there was no such equipment on the luzov.

The slight shaking of the gun body will lead to significant deviation of the shell. At this time, in the control room of the fire control radar, the radar soldier shouted: "come on, reduce the elevation immediately, it's coming down!"

Even without fire control radar, other anti-aircraft artillery captured the American pirate fighter with their naked eyes. At this time, it suddenly drilled out of the clouds and began to dive down with a rapid and terrible momentum. Its target is the aircraft carrier Munich in the formation!

Fire, fire!

More than a dozen warships escorting around turned their anti-aircraft guns. 40 mm, 88 mm and 105 mm anti-aircraft artillery shells continued to spray into the sky, shrouded in gunsmoke, covering the airspace of the whole target.

If you want to dive down, you have to go through this terrible barrage. It's like looking for your own death.

At this time, Roy didn't flinch. He felt his plane trembling in the explosion of anti-aircraft artillery shells and the roar of countless shells. Roy continued to dive down and dive.

"Boom!" An 88 mm shell exploded a few meters away from his plane, and countless fragments hit his plane. The front engine suddenly emitted black smoke and jumped out with the flames.

There were also several shots on the fuselage. In the cockpit, Roy felt his thigh like being bitten.

Roy is hurt.

The smoke from the nose of the plane in front is getting bigger and bigger, and Roy's eyes are full of determination. Below, the aircraft carrier has become clearer and clearer.

"Justice will prevail!" Roy shouted on the radio, and there was a noisy voice. His companions were still fighting. For him, this was a just war. Germany's attempt to rule the world would inevitably end in failure.

The pirate fighter with thick smoke continued to dive down. Below, the aircraft carrier Munich was also worried. The captain gave instructions to the left full rudder in an attempt to avoid the burning fighter.

The captain's eyes were filled with admiration. The pilot of the fighter plane had come to dive with the belief of death. In order to attack, the other party would rather sacrifice their own lives.

Well, it's absolutely worth trading his life for an aircraft carrier!

"Bang, bang, bang!" Just then, the roaring 40mm bofoss antiaircraft gun shell fell on its body. The shell tore the rear of the fuselage and hit the fuel tank. The whole aircraft suddenly exploded in the air.

The antiaircraft artillery cheered in an instant.

Great, hit!

The blasted pirate fighter was burning in the air. It was still diving down the original track. It was already an open sea area. Then it plunged into the sea.

In the sky, Alcatel witnessed all this. Suddenly, he felt his heart empty, as if he had lost something. His eyes stayed on the plane falling into the sea, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
