Berlin, Luftwaffe Command.
Originally, Richthofen stayed in Wolf's Den, where he also had his office, and could even perform the functions of Air Force Command.
But after discovering the Soviet bombers, he returned to Berlin.
If the Soviets want to launch an air strike, Berlin is definitely the first choice. He has to stay in Berlin to be able to take command in person. At the same time, it is also his confidence. With him, the bombing of the Soviets would not be successful. !
He will let all the Soviet bombings come back without success!
Richthofen is quite confident. Now, Germany has ten night fighter battalions on the coastline of France and the United Kingdom to prevent Americans from cross-sea attacks, protect the capital near Berlin, and in Belarus and Ukraine. , To guard against bombing by the Soviets.
The surroundings can be said to be impervious to the wind. If the Soviets were to come from the east, they would definitely be spotted by their own night fighter troops on the eastern front, and then beat them up at night.
Now, Richthofen is strategizing, even if the opponent has broken through the defenses and ran over Berlin to go wild, the night fighter force near Berlin and the densely packed antiaircraft artillery in Berlin will teach the other person to be a man.
The most effective is that Germany has completed the integration of fire control radar and antiaircraft artillery. Now that Germany's electronic technology is rapidly advancing, they have begun to equip antiaircraft artillery with fire control radar.
After the radar finds the target, calculate the shooting elements, and then the antiaircraft artillery can fire at the sky. Compared with the previous mode of using searchlights to increase the antiaircraft artillery, the improvement is great and the shooting is more fierce. You will know that the sky in Berlin is a copper wall and an iron wall.
Richthofen was confident, but when an emergency report from Finland came over, he was a little confused.
Germany has not deployed a large radar station in Finland. After all, Finland is not the focus at all. Like other servant countries, it plays the role of soy sauce. The bombers of the Soviets would not go to bomb them, and even if they were bombed, they would not bring any loss to the empire.
Therefore, Finland did not find the Soviet bomber flying over, but it monitored suspicious radio communication. After the content of the radio communication was deciphered, Richthofen only felt strange.
The Soviet bomber fleet entered Finnish airspace?
In everyone's impression, the Soviet bombers should have come from the east, even Richthofen is no exception.
The Soviets flew from east to west, flying over Finland. What is worth their bombing? Is it to blow up a mine in Sweden? Even if you don’t use the mines in Sweden, the piles of ore that you have stored are enough to be used for several years.
It shouldn't.
At this time, Richthofen was strange. He looked at the large-scale map hung on the wall and could not think of the Soviets' intentions.
Moreover, without radar scanning, there would be no specific data on the target, no idea of how many planes there are, no heading.
Richthofen looked at his watch. It was eleven o'clock in the night.
"Pay close attention to their movements." As he said, Richthofen put on his army coat and walked to a camp bed that was propped up next to him, intending to squint for a while. He was too tired.
From the common sense, Finland is too far away from Germany, and it is impossible for the other party to go around in such a circle.
Maybe it's just one or two Soviet Li-2 small planes, secretly transporting something to the resistance elements behind the enemy, this kind of action can be handed over to those local forces, not under the jurisdiction of the own air force, otherwise the air force will Worn out.
After all, night fighters are only suitable for intercepting high-altitude bombers. If a small plane is flying close to the ground, the night fighter's radar will not be able to detect it at all.
So Richthofen ignored this information.
In the sky, the bomber formation continued to fly south. They flew through Finnish airspace, through the Baltic Sea, and into Poland.
There is actually no more Poland at this time.
When Germany and the Soviet Union partitioned Poland together, there was no more Poland as a country. Germany had direct jurisdiction over western Poland. While the war against the Soviet Union was victorious, the original residents of Poland moved to Belarus and Ukraine in the east. The land that comes down belongs to the German people.
Therefore, it also belongs to German territory, and scattered field radars are distributed on the northern coastline.
Yes, after discovering that the Soviets had introduced new bombers, the German Air Force increased the number of ground air defense radars. Although many large radars could not be deployed, there were still some field radars mounted on off-road trucks. Their search The distance is generally not far, which is a supplementary effect.
At this time, on a radar car, several radar soldiers were watching the radar screen, and the generator car rumbling not far away was destined to be a boring night.
Suddenly, several bright spots appeared on the screen. When they saw the bright spots, the radar soldier screamed, "Look, what is that?"
Dense bright spots appeared on their screens. They flew quickly from the north and flew in the direction of the south. Because the range of the radar is limited, they did not appear on the screen for a long time.
"It's a flying unit, maybe our unit is training." A radar soldier couldn't help but said: "It may also be a transport plane flying from Finland."
If they neglect it again, perhaps the warning will pass, but a radar soldier who has just enlisted is very serious: "We did not have this fleet in our flight announcement today. Moreover, it is night and the opponent is Fleet."
He looked at the notifications issued every day, and there was no report of the fleet that he had just encountered, and behind them, within two hundred kilometers, there was almost no air defense radar.
Germany’s deployment is also typical of tight outside and loose inside. After all, resources are limited, and it is impossible to closely monitor all airspace with radar. It will not even be able to report it in later generations ~www.novelhall.com~. "When the monitor came over, he heard the analysis and made a decision immediately.
An unidentified flying unit, with more than ten planes, flew over the Polish coastline from the Baltic Sea, and was flying in depth!
This news was reported level by level, and soon reached the Berlin headquarters. When Richthofen was awakened, he felt his eyelids twitch.
If it is linked to the radio intelligence over Finland half an hour ago, it would be even more suspicious. This is the same flight formation!
"Their target is not Berlin." Richthofen said. Now he can determine that this is a Soviet bomber formation. Although he does not know how he flew to Finland and then flew south, he can now determine , The other party must be Soviet.
They are here to bomb the German mainland. The terrible thing is that they have already flown over the land. They actually came from Finland and flew south, and they perfectly avoided their own night fighter units!
So what is their goal?
