"Fire!" Cried Kamler.

With his order, the rear of the missile launch vehicles, the missile that has been erected, ejected a white gas from the rear. With the sound of the turbopump, fuel and oxidant were injected into the engine respectively, and then an orange flame came out from the bottom.

Two seconds later, the flame at the tail had stabilized and illuminated the whole dark launch position. The missile body began to rise slowly driven by the full power engine.

One after another, more than 100 missiles were launched together. This scene is extremely spectacular and can not be described in words. Only when you really stand in the surrounding open space can you feel this majestic momentum.

Kamler was in it. He looked at the missiles taking off one by one, and his heart was flying with the missiles. The dark night sky had been illuminated. When the missiles flew up, the hot tail flame made people's eyes feel burning pain.

The bright sky soon darkened again. The flames gradually flew away and the brightness weakened rapidly. It looked like a meteor.

The first wave of German attacks began with missile attacks!

Dover, coastline.

When the expeditionary force could not withdraw from the other side, the coastline here was already on high alert. In order to prevent the infiltration of small-scale German frogman troops, the shore here was always on high alert, with patrols patrolling back and forth.

At the same time, some high iron towers were urgently installed at a distance of about 1000 meters behind the coastline.

There are eight in total, four of which are 120 meters high. The top of these towers is equipped with a wide-angle transmitting antenna with a transmission power of 350 kW.

At the same time, next to it, there is another group of four 80 meter high iron towers. On the top of these towers, receiving antennas are installed.

Yes, this system is ames-1 radar developed by British technicians. It is mainly used for long-range detection.

Compared with later radars, this device is still very primitive. In particular, it can not rotate the antenna for scanning, so it has to be installed on four large iron shelves. Moreover, the transmitting and receiving antennas are separated, and can only cover the area of 100 degrees in front.

100 degrees is enough. After all, their defense object is the target from across the Strait!

Tonight, they received instructions and raised the alert level. Therefore, the whole radar station has been working at full power.

If the Germans want to launch an air raid, they will have sharp eyes. They need to find the enemy aircraft in advance and inform the underground sector command center, the command center set up in the suburbs of London.

The command center conducts comprehensive analysis and evaluation according to the enemy situation reports of radar stations and ground air defense observation posts, and then uses radio to command fighter operations in the air.

This is the complete air defense process of general dowdin so far.

The whole UK is divided into four empty areas, among which the 11th area in the southeast is the focus of defense. After all, they are opposite Calais, and the Germans are likely to come from Calais!

Inside the radar station, the radar soldiers are nervously staring at the screen in front of them. The night is quiet, and only the nightingales outside are still singing.

Suddenly, a bright spot appeared on the screen. One, two, soon, a large area appeared!

"Target found. Enemy planes are taking off in large batches." The radar soldier shouted. He nervously watched the information on the radar. Suddenly his voice changed: "no, it's not an enemy plane, it's a missile!"

If it's a plane, it doesn't climb so fast!

From here, the radar can search the target 90 kilometers away. Therefore, they found the target that kept taking off across the Strait. Originally, they thought it was an aircraft, but the climb of the aircraft would never be so fast! In just a few tens of seconds, it climbed thousands of meters!

Missile, it's a German V-2 missile!

In the last battle, Germany used this weapon for the first time. At that time, it brought a heavy challenge to the British air defense system, because this kind of missile could not be intercepted at all!

Needless to say, the interception of ballistic missiles is a difficult problem in future generations.

In an instant, emergency information was transmitted to the rear command center in the suburbs of London, which was also the headquarters of Britain's 11th air group, under the command of general Trafford limalori.

"Order our fighters to take off immediately!" Trafford shouted, "come on, come on!"

Britain is an old country. There are a large number of elite officers. After they first came into contact with this missile, they analyzed it.

The conclusion is quite terrible. This missile cannot be intercepted. At the same time, they are also studying how to use it if their own side has this missile.

The result is also obvious. As the first wave of the attack, this missile is used to attack the other party's air base and completely paralyze the other party's fighters on the ground!

You know, there is no solid hangar for fighters in this era. However, even a reinforced concrete hangar can never stop the attack of this missile. Its warhead weighs a ton!

In World War I, you could take off with a lawn. Now, the airport has simply flattened the runway. Almost all the planes are parked in the open air. Once attacked by the other party, the losses are very heavy.

Although it is night, although it is not clear about the subsequent attack, they have no choice but to let the fighter take off immediately, so as to reduce the loss!

The whole command center was busy. They knew that the war was finally coming!

"Report that the radar station has lost contact." Almost two minutes later, amazing news came back.

Radar is their eyes, especially now. At night, radar will help them find the target in advance, but now, the radar station has no contact!

When those targets were found to take off, the radar station was on high alert, and the tracks of those missiles in the air separated after taking off.

At the same time, because this radar was originally designed to observe aircraft, when the altitude of the missile exceeded 10000 meters, they could not catch it.

Until a few minutes later, when there was a terrible Doppler scream in the air that day, much louder than the sound of shell flight, the sentry of the radar station looked at the sky in surprise.

Five missiles, cutting through the sky, flying towards the radar station!

"Boom!" In the violent explosion, a dazzling fireball appeared on the ground, almost covering an area more than the size of a basketball court.

The high launcher was also affected, falling in the flying shrapnel and splashing Mars.
