Chapter 1622 Vengeful Angel V-2 Ballistic Guide
As the air defense alarm sounded, riots soon broke out in the busy port terminal. The crew members, soldiers and people were carrying goods, seemed to be ramming in groups of headless flies, running in groups from east to west.
In fact, they don’t know what happened, nor do they know where to hide to be safe. Anyway, they know that they must not gather at this time, and it is best not to be exposed to a naked environment. It is best to hide in an air defense shelter. If it is not good, they must hide behind the cover.
At this time, the guard commander Teng Zhifeng, who had been following the left and right, was also anxious and immediately ran to Sun Fumin and others, saying loudly:
"Military captain, chief of staff, commander of banquet, commander Zhou, be careful of sailing the ten thousand-year-old ship. It is no longer safe here. Please withdraw the command center immediately and avoid it!"
Whether it is a ballistic missile or a German air force attack, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. At this time, he must be cautious and must not expose a group of generals to danger.
"Okay! Let's avoid it first, not be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something, haha!"
Sun Fumin did not make things difficult for the commander of the guard who was loyal to his duties, and immediately followed the flow of good deeds toward the military vehicle that was docked not far away.
As the saying goes, listen to people's advice to have enough food. Just as Sun Fumin and others were driving far away, a few earth-shaking explosions came from behind them.
Although Sun Fumin and others were already thousands of meters away at this time, when the earth-shaking sound came, Sun Fumin and others were still shocked.
They could even feel the obvious tremor from the air and on the ground, just like the explosion point was not far away.
"Oh my God, this is the legendary V-1 ballistic missile? Is this too terrifying power?"
"Yes, the power of this explosion is completely beyond imagination!"
"It's a good thing we ran fast just now, otherwise we might have to be buried in the fire even if we don't get bombarded directly!"
Immediately afterwards, Sun Fumin and others subconsciously turned their heads to look, but they didn't know if they didn't look at it, and they were shocked when they saw it.
I saw that the place where they were standing had completely turned into a sea of fire, a cloud of mushrooms was rushing straight into the sky at an extremely fast speed, and thick smoke was rolling on the ground, which soon formed a force of covering the sky and the sun. A large area surrounded by fire and smoke was completely trapped.
Looking into the distance, there are more than a dozen such hell-style scenes, which show the terrifying aura of destruction without exception.
A large number of houses and buildings were destroyed, with a large number of casualties, and even several ships docked in the port were severely destroyed, igniting a raging fire.
At this moment, in everyone's eyes, it was as if these things that fell from the sky were not V-1 missiles, but large meteorites from outer space, bursting out terrifying energy that ruined the world!
In fact, Sun Fumin and others didn't know that they were not short, capable, slow-flying V1 ballistic missiles, but one of the newest German ace weapons: the "Ange of Revenge" v-2 ballistic missiles!
The v-1 missile was a flight-type missile developed by Germany at the end of World War II. It was the first missile that appeared in the world and used in wars to attack Britain, the Netherlands and Belgium.
v-1 The missile can be launched with a catapult, and can also be launched from the carrier, and then it can be driven horizontally toward the predetermined trajectory by relying on the control system on the missile to guide the predetermined trajectory, and then dive toward the target.
The v-1 missile weighs 2.2 tons, the warhead is loaded with 700 kilograms, the missile length is 7.6 meters, the diameter is 0.82 meters, and the wingspan is 5.3 meters. The power unit is an air jet engine with a flight speed of 550 to 600 kilometers per hour, a flight altitude of 2,000 meters, and a range of 370 kilometers.
On June 13, 1944, six days after the Normandy landed, Germany launched the V-1 missile to the British mainland for the first time.
The attacks on London were carried out from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., 12 a.m. to 2 noon, and 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., causing serious civilian casualties, property damage, and morale to London.
As General Eisenhower said, if Germany had conducted a centralized attack on the landing force assembly site six months ago instead of London, the allies would have faced difficulties that were insurmountable.
The v-1 missile is the first type of cruise missile. It uses magnetic gyros, mechanical altitude measurement and body posture perception and control system, which is close to simple inertial guidance without any calculation process.
So many people do not think this is guidance, but attribute the first real missile to the v-2 missile.
Yes, using a radio remote control guide and its design of the Revenge Angel V-2 missile with a high modern characteristics is the first practical ballistic missile in the world.
The v-2 missile is 13.5 meters long and has a total weight of 13 tons. It can send a warhead weighing 1 ton to a distance of 322 kilometers. The rocket is driven by a liquid rocket engine and the combustion fluid is liquid oxygen and methanol.
During launch, the rocket first rises vertically to 24-29 kilometers high, and then rises at a 40-degree inclination under the action of the gas rudder of the nozzle. It can also be controlled by the ground control station to launch radio commands to the bounce receiver.
One minute later, the rocket had flew to an altitude of 48 kilometers and had a speed of 5,796 kilometers per hour.
At this time, the radio command control system commands the engine to be turned off. After the fuel is burned, most missiles will be at an altitude of about 97 kilometers at the apex of the parabola.
Then it will be subjected to inertia along the parabola and freely descending toward the target at a speed of about 3542 kilometers per hour.
However, this also means that the hit accuracy is often greatly reduced due to factors such as airflow and poor weather; although the later V-2 missiles refer to the radio wave guidance method, the error is also as high as the km/h.
Since the ballistic missile is extremely fast at the terminal speed, it will reach a supersonic speed of at least Mach 4, far exceeding the speed required for the air defense of the Allies at that time.
Basically, the Allies can only rely on sound and radar to roughly measure the ballistics, and before the missile hits the target, they use anti-aircraft guns to fire high-explosive ammunition to fire the ballistics to attempt to intercept them.
Unlike the V-1 missile, which is only 550 to 600 kilometers per hour, the Allied forces can completely use fighter jets, anti-aircraft guns and other means to shoot it down.
Although the v-2 missile is unpredictable, it is almost impossible to achieve with artillery fire interception.
However, the rigorous Germans still took corresponding measures. In order to avoid air strikes by the Air Force, the V-2 missiles were widely painted in camouflage until the olive green was finally fully used as camouflage.
In addition, the v-2 missile does not yet have the technology of separating the missile body warheads, and the total weight when landing is often as high as several tons. Therefore, the v-2 missile not only falls into the ground and explodes, but also has amazing power and terrifying lethality.
In addition to large-scale missile attacks at the port of Antwerp, Germany also launched a large number of V-2 missiles to London.
A total of more than 10,000 V-2 missiles were produced, and about 5,000 were used for actual combat launches, causing great psychological pressure to the Allies and losses of personnel and property.
On the eve of Germany's surrender in 1945, Braun and more than 400 rocket experts surrendered to the US military, and later went to the United States to become one of the founders of American rocket technology and space technology.
In addition, the Soviet Union also seized a large number of V2 finished products and components, and captured some rocket experts, using this as a precaution to start its own rocket and space plan.
But then again, when the overall victory is so close, this new horror is nothing and there is no way to stop the progress of the Allied soldiers.
The British soldiers on the Normandy front made their best efforts and advanced to the rocket launch site that threatened their families as quickly as possible.
However, it was precisely because of the emergence of the V-2 missile that it also triggered a series of changes in historical processes, delaying the destruction of Nazi Germany to a certain extent.
