Chapter 457 FA330
Two V1 missiles were moved to the launch frame and fueled under weak lights.
The reason for operating at night is that on the one hand, it is because the temperature is low at night, it is safer to refuel fuel, and on the other hand, it is because it is not easy to be bombed by enemies at night. More importantly, it is easier to observe the explosion points and routes at night...
This can be regarded as the first actual combat of the V1 missile, or it can be said to be another experiment of its... Von Braun and others want to collect data on the actual combat and further correct and improve it.
It is basically impossible to collect data during the day, and the entire sky belongs to the enemy.
It was much better at night. After the rocket was launched, there would be long flame trajectories in the dark... Rommel had already arranged five submarines to emerge from the water on the sea where the V1 missile might pass and prepare for observation and positioning.
On the other hand, in order to observe the landing point of the V1 missile, two other submarines were arranged to observe the explosion point.
"Why can submarines observe explosion points?" Rommel asked interestedly. Rommel is keen on land warfare, so he doesn't know much about naval warfare, especially submarines.
"The submarine is indeed unable to observe the explosion site, General!" Conrad replied: "But there are planes on the submarine!"
"There are planes on the submarine?" Rommel turned his head and looked at Conrad.
"The Colonel is talking about FA330!" Hannah smiled and said, "That can't even be considered an airplane, but a glider!"
"Yes!" Conrad replied: "The reason is that it is difficult for U to find targets 10 kilometers away at sea, which makes our submarines often need to consume a lot of energy to search for targets at sea. We know that Germany lacks fuel!"
"Before lacking!" Rommel corrected: "After the Captain discovered the North African oil fields, we became rich!"
The officers laughed out loud.
Hanna leaned into Qin Chuan's ear and whispered: "It seems that the general values you very much. He has been talking about you all night!"
Qin Chuan smiled and replied half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Major, I hope you 'respective' me more!"
Hannah was stunned when she heard this and couldn't help laughing: "You are so humorous, Captain!"
Qin Chuan was not very satisfied with this answer because he knew that if a girl responded with words like "joking" or "humor", she would basically decline.
Conrad continued: "Well, it was the lack of fuel in the past. Then, in the absence of fuel in the past, we had to try to find a way to save fuel, so we had the FA300...it took off through the rotor, then it was towing and gliding on the submarine, and it was reconnaissance and photography in the air about 200, and we were relying on it to observe the bombing points of the missile!"
Rommel nodded with satisfaction: "Isn't there any danger?"
"Of course there are dangers!" Conrad said: "But it is very small, and its defect is that the reflection area is large and it is easy to be discovered by the enemy radar. But this is nothing, because it can observe targets 50 kilometers away, that is, we are 50 kilometers away from the enemy. When the enemy arrives, we have already retracted the plane and dived into the bottom of the water!"
Qin Chuan also knows something about this FA330. It is actually the first helicopter used in actual combat, but it does not have independent power.
Moreover, its output is not small, with a certain output of at least 200 aircraft, with excellent performance and only 13 minutes to install. But unfortunately, what the submarine is most worried about is that it is discovered by the enemy at an approximate position, so the large reflection area has become its fatal flaw. As a result, there is not much outstanding performance in actual combat... because the submarine itself rarely makes it.
"When will I hope to see it, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said.
Conrad's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this: "No need, Captain...it's OK at any time! If you want, I can arrange it for you immediately!"
What Conrad hopes most is that Qin Chuan reads every equipment and then makes some suggestions.
This time Conrad guessed correctly, and Qin Chuan was also having this idea.
Germany may have strong industry and manufacturing industries, and is also very creative, such as missiles, helicopters, etc., but they themselves do not know what role these things can play in the battlefield.
What Qin Chuan had to do was tell them and make improvements to them.
"I can be a pilot!" Hannah volunteered.
"Oh, Hannah!" said Conrad. "Although you are the best pilot, your foot is injured..."
Rommel interrupted: "I believe the captain must be willing to wait until the major's injury healed before going to see this FA330!"
"Of course!" Qin Chuan glanced at Hannah and said, "This is a good opportunity!"
"Good, Captain!" The officers couldn't help but cheer, even Conrad was no exception.
When the scene calmed down again, Qin Chuan whispered to Hannah: "It's just a joke, major, don't mind!"
"Just a joke?" Hannah curled her lips.
"So..." Qin Chuan asked: "Don't you want it to be a joke?"
At this time, V1 has completed the fuel filling and final inspection.
"I want to ask you a question, Captain!" Hannah looked at the V1 missile: "Just as General Rommel said, are you saving me for a medal or for a private reason?"
"Is this very important?" Qin Chuan asked back.
"It's really important to me!" Hannah turned her head and glanced at Qin Chuan.
"I can choose to destroy the 'target machine'!" Qin Chuan replied: "Just Dominic said!"
Hannah didn't say anything, her eyes continued to stare at the missile, but Qin Chuan could already feel her breathing getting faster and faster.
This made Qin Chuan feel a little strange. It was just a confession. Hannah shouldn't be so excited, because a woman as outstanding as her should have many men chasing her.
What Qin Chuan didn't know was that women like Hannah often fell into a trap: many people felt ashamed of themselves and did not dare to confess their love to Hannah, and Hannah was devoted to her flying career, and ordinary people could not catch her eyes, so she became a "leftover woman".
Von Braun started counting down: "Ten, nine, eight..."
The moment Von Braun shouted "light" , Hannah suddenly turned around and kissed Qin Chuan on the mouth, then raised her hands like others as if nothing had happened and shouted: "Yeah, we succeed!"
Qin Chuan touched his lips, unable to believe that this was true.
"Did you see it? Captain!" Hannah would actually turn around and ask Qin Chuan: "We succeeded!"
Chapter completed!
