Transistors have begun mass production in Germany. The emergence of such semiconductor components has greatly reduced the size and weight of electronic equipment and rapidly changed the level of electronic equipment in Germany.

However, not all devices can be replaced by transistors. Even in later generations, there are still some electronic tubes in radar components.

First, warm up!

In the dark night sky, a big net has gradually spread, and at this time, the British bomber force knows nothing.

"Attention, height 4000, ready to wear a breathing mask." As he climbed, Captain Howard said to his crew.

With the increase of altitude, the air begins to thin and the oxygen decreases. Therefore, engines flying at high altitude need superchargers to work. Some advanced engines begin to use secondary superchargers in order to achieve higher supercharging efficiency.

At the same time, people can't stand it.

In World War I, the aircraft almost flew at an altitude of one or two kilometers without a canopy. Now, the flying altitude of bombers is higher and higher. After all, the higher the altitude, the less the threat of the other party's anti-aircraft guns.

In this way, it is necessary to consider the problem of personnel oxygen inhalation.

Howard said, hanging the oxygen mask in front of him on his mouth.

If you reach a higher altitude and don't breathe enough oxygen, you will faint at any time. However, after wearing the oxygen mask, the whole person looks more clumsy.

Although generally speaking, it takes more than six kilometers to have the risk of insufficient oxygen, it is almost always worn at about four thousand meters.

"The route is correct. It has entered over France and is expected to arrive in Paris in 20 minutes." The pilot checked the coordinates again, especially when he saw a lighthouse on the coastline.

Keep flying!

"Attention, the first brigade is about to cross the target. Please turn in the airspace ahead." At this time, at an altitude of 5000 meters, Werner's earphone was also receiving the message of the target.

The ground has successfully guided them to the route of the other party's bomber. At this time, through visual inspection, nothing can be seen in the dark sky, but it is certain that the other party is there!

In the interception, they need to fly head-on, but they don't intercept head-on, so the hit rate is the lowest.

When he passed the other side on the route, Werner pushed the lever and the fighter began to turn to the lower right.

At the same time, Fisher, the radar operator around him, was absorbed.

Just now, the radar is only in the warm-up state. After the steering is completed, the radar has entered the full power state.

The electromagnetic wave passes through the front four antler antennas and fills the area in the front 70 degree conical angle.

This kind of radar not only has a limited range, but also has a small azimuth. Therefore, it is impossible to find the target accurately only by relying on the carrier.

"Attention, first brigade, the target is in the area of 50 degrees in front of the right." The sound of Ground Guidance continued to come from the headphones.

Radar guidance on the ground, radar search in the air and visual identification of pilots are very important. Like now.

After the sound of ground guidance came, Werner adjusted the route and searched the dark sky through his own eyes. At the same time, beside him, Fisher was surprised to see shining light spots on his radar screen.

"Find target!" He shouted happily, "right in front of us, three kilometers away!"

If it was daytime, this distance would have been clearly visible, but now it is night. In the dark night sky, the visual distance is no more than one kilometer, and nothing can be seen in front!

"Attention, night fighter brigade, the target is in front of us, ready to attack, pay attention to prevent collision." Werner shouted to his men.

Yes, under such conditions, we must prevent accidental collision. In the dark night sky, it is a great challenge for the flight of large groups of aircraft.

Now, Werner's men are old hands who fly at night for many times. They are very excited after hearing the news that their radar operators intercepted the target. The first battle of the night fighter force will begin soon!

Move on, move on!

As a professional night fighter, this kind of aircraft has its own special indicators when it is manufactured.

For example, the aircraft gun must be at the back of the cockpit to prevent the pilot from short-term night blindness caused by the light of the aircraft gun fire. For example, the aircraft must have sufficient load capacity to load radar equipment.

For another example, the speed of the plane should be high enough!

You know, the two magic weapons of bombers are height and speed. The higher these two indicators, the greater the chance of survival.

Therefore, the night fighter modified with junker-88 bomber is not fully competent. Only this professional night fighter can do! When it is designed, an important indicator is speed!

In the test, the current fighter has run at a speed of 700 kilometers per hour, which dwarfs many Air Force fighters.

Night combat must be a tail chasing attack. If the speed is not high enough, it can't catch up at all!

For example, the current brenheim bomber has accelerated to 400 kilometers per hour, which is not low. However, in front of the German night fighter, it is just a slow fly!

Chase, chase! Soon, in front of Werner's eyes, a fuzzy outline appeared and the target was found visually!

"Note that each fighter finds its own target and turns to the tracking state. Don't fire immediately!" Werner continued to give orders.

Now, the other side is flying in a large formation. There are more than a dozen bombers, enough for their own night fighter forces to find their own targets.

We can't scare the snake. If we fire now, we can kill only one at most, because the remaining bombers will certainly flee in panic. It will be difficult to find them again. In particular, if the other party rushes into the low altitude, the radar will be useless.

Although it is a large formation, the other party flies relatively scattered. After all, it is night, and dense formations are easy to collide.

Werner shouted, pushing his lever and leaning carefully against it.

The huge bubble cockpit gave the pilot 360 degree omni-directional vision. As he approached, he saw more clearly. Werner soon recognized the other party's model: "it's a brenheim bomber. There is no belly turret. It's time to try our oblique music! Let the British bombers tremble! "
