Chapter 1085： Sea search puzzle

Why can't battleships withdraw from the stage of history in World War II? Because carrier-based aircraft still have many drawbacks, they have no night landing capabilities, poor observation capabilities at sea, and weak response capabilities.

Of course, in the case of long-range firefights, carrier-based aircraft have considerable advantages, such as now.

Without carrier-based aircraft, it is impossible for the fleets of both sides to attack each other hundreds of kilometers away.

The carrier-based aircraft of the island country rushed towards the direction of the US aircraft carrier, but they did not find the target. The water vapor on the sea made their observation very difficult. They didn't know that they had missed the American aircraft carrier formation!

They almost flew by less than five kilometers from the US aircraft carrier formation, but they missed the opportunity and didn't see it!

Captain Akira Sakamoto took his fleet and continued to fly forward for nearly a hundred kilometers, but he still found nothing!

"Throw away the bomb and return home!" Captain Akira Sakamoto said helplessly. He pressed the weapon release button, and the expensive bomb imported from Germany was thrown directly into the sea.

Now, Stuka is much more relaxed.

Behind the formation, Taro Ohara looked a little confused.

The long flight made his head a little groggy. Now, when he opened the cockpit cover and let the fresh air into the cockpit, his mind was a little awake. He knew that he must not fall asleep. Companion, he must fly this plane and fly back again!

The surrounding area has started to turn black.

I don't know how long it has been flying, Taro Ohara's eyes suddenly lit up, and there were flashing lights on the sea below, indicating the direction of the deck. It turned out that he had already flown to the fleet without knowing it!

So, he pushed his joystick and entered the descent course. At the same time, he turned the radio frequency **** to adjust to the frequency of talking with the deck.

"Suihe, Ruihe, 013 requested landing, 013 requested landing."

For some reason, there is no echo from the earphones. No matter what, let’s land first. This kind of landing in the dark is quite torturous. If you can’t touch the ship accurately, it will greatly increase the psychological pressure. It's even more difficult this time.

On the Yorktown, the lights were bright.

The personnel on the deck are preparing nervously. Today's contact has made them realize that the battle with the island country will break out at any time, and they must make all preparations to release the aircraft group at any time.

And now, in the middle of a busy schedule, the sound of an airplane can be heard in the distance.

All of our carrier-based aircraft have been recovered. What kind of aircraft are flying here?

On the side of the rear deck, on the platform below, the high gunner Lockhet looked at the sky nervously. Then, from the dark night sky, a plane with an inverted seagull wing suddenly emerged.

"Stuka, it's Stuka!" Lockhet yelled, and immediately shook his anti-aircraft gun height machine, and then stepped on the trigger.

"Tom Tom Tom!" The artillery shells flew into the sky one by one, and a tracer was mixed among the several shells. He fired according to the ballistic instructions while continuing to adjust the elevation angle of his antiaircraft gun.

"Boom!" In the sky, the Stuka bomber was hit! The 40mm high-explosive bomb turned this bomber into a fireball in the sky!

Hit a target successfully!

On the aircraft carrier, the air defense alarm was sounded. Are the islanders crazy? Actually came to bomb yourself at night?

However, it was not like that the bomber that flew did not carry bombs at all, nor did it dive down and bomb. Judging from the opponent's flight trajectory, it looked like it was about to land!

The U.S. Navy didn’t know what was going on. I saw several Stukas behind them all quickly pulled up and got into the dark night sky. The fleet’s anti-aircraft artillery fired indiscriminately towards the surroundings, and there was no more. The result of the battle.

Inside the bridge, Rear Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, the commander of the aircraft carrier formation, received this report. His brain was thinking quickly that these aircraft must have come to bomb their own side, but they did not find the target. Our own aircraft carrier serves as their mothership.

This shows what? The island navy carrier is nearby! Therefore, tomorrow, there will be a fierce duel between aircraft carriers!

...

Germany, Henschel Company.

Ernst Henkel, one of Germany's most famous aircraft designers, is now reporting to the visiting head of Cyrenk.

"According to the opinions put forward by the navy, the most important thing in the battle between aircraft carriers at sea is to be able to spot the enemy first. In this way, the aircraft carrier needs an advanced reconnaissance aircraft. Therefore, based on our own HE219 night fighter, Some improvements have been made." Ernst took Cyric and his party to the workshop. In the workshop, a newest fighter is entering the final assembly stage.

HE219, a German night fighter , played a very important role in defending Berlin and other aspects. However, this is a land-based fighter. If you want to modify it on an aircraft carrier, you have to do it. New improvements.

For example, the wings are folded, such as the replacement of air-cooled engines, to facilitate maintenance, such as anti-salt treatment and so on.

In fact, Henschel’s HS129 attack aircraft has been modified on the ship. It is easier to improve on this aircraft. However, Henschel did not do this. Instead, it chose HS219, the largest of the two. The difference is the equipment of the nose.

As a night fighter, the HS219 carries a set of radar. Now, the German maritime patrol aircraft needs radar too!

"In foggy weather, or at night, etc., when visibility is poor, the pilot's visual search capabilities are limited. The monotonous blue at sea is also easy to make the eyes tired. Therefore, the effect of using radar to detect is much better. We A new radar has been specially developed for maritime reconnaissance.” Heinrich Herz, Director of Henschel’s Technology and Development Department, proudly said: “This is the first time we have moved the sea surface search radar. In the sky."

According to historical development, it is impossible to have a carrier-based early warning aircraft in this era. The technical difficulty cannot be developed in this era. Even Cyric’s crossing cannot change the pace of science. .

However, after all, Germany is still making progress. For example, the transistor has been invented, which can greatly reduce the power consumption of the radar and increase the reliability. In this way, the radar equipment that was originally installed on the warship to observe the sea surface can also be installed. It’s a huge improvement to be able to have a detection range of forty kilometers on the plane without any special exaggeration. ()
