Chapter 647: The Hailstorm of the Atlantic Ocean Strikes

The German v2 missile was developed based on the v1 missile, but the one that was truly deployed in actual combat and had attack and sabotage capabilities was the v2k9 type, codenamed Hail.

Although Britain and Germany signed a truce agreement, Hitler was not at ease with the British. During the truce in the UK and Germany, the German army deployed more than 3,000 V2k9 missiles opposite the English Channel. More than 1,000 missiles were aimed at London.

When Hitler exploded beans, the German Command quickly issued an order to use missiles to attack London, England.

In retaliation against the Chinese Empire's air strike against Berlin, German Army rocket forces launched a large-scale missile attack on London on the third day after Operation Sea Lion.

After estimating the time when the missile flew over London, the German army launched missiles from more than 20 missile launch positions on the south coast of France at around 5 a.m. In advance, when the missile flight path was over London, it happened to be the time for the British to go to work.

Since the large radar station deployed by the Chinese Empire in the UK discovered incoming German missiles in advance, the British Air Defense Command was able to promptly alert British citizens.

From Dunkirk to Lower Normandy, more than 20 German missile launch bases quickly entered combat deployment.

Before the German army's abnormal movement, the Chinese Empire's intelligence department quickly issued an alarm to London, asking Churchill to be prepared for precautions.

Churchill did not know the power of the German latest missile. Although he made an air defense deployment, the British only thought that the Luftwaffe was attacking and had no idea about the so-called missile.

The maximum flight speed of the German hail missile reaches Mach 3. The end speed when hitting the target is more than 850 kilometers per hour. For British ground air defense artillery, this speed is almost difficult to defend.

The hail missile is 353 meters long and 64 meters wide. It was originally improved on the basis of the bv-226 and was designed on December 12, 1942. The design goal is to be a gliding bomb with a very simple appearance. The cigar-shaped fuselage, slender wings, and a normal layout of the tail. What is particularly strange is that the two long main wings are cast from reinforced concrete. The purpose is to make the bomb and the carrier clean and neat separation of the bomb and the carrier to avoid mutual interference and dangers.

The "hail" gliding performance is very good. The gliding ratio is 1:25, which means it is placed at a height of 7,000 meters and can hit targets 175 kilometers away. If the loading height is higher, the maximum attack distance can reach 200 kilometers, and it can be placed outside the enemy's air defense fire circle, making the enemy's ground air defense fire unable to effectively intercept.

More than 4,000 hail missiles began to dive and glide when they entered the UK. The Royal Air Force, which took off, thought it was dealing with German fighters and bombers, but unexpectedly it was a missile similar to a small aircraft.

Because the hail missile entered a gliding state before it encountered the British Air Force's interception, the missile's speed quickly soared to more than Mach 3. British Air Force fighters could not catch up at all, and they could not catch up with the missiles, including the intermediate J-11 fighter jets. They could only watch the German missiles land one by one on the British ground.

The warhead of the hail missile is equipped with a high-explosion ** weighing up to one ton. After landing, the huge explosion force can instantly blow up a reinforced concrete building of more than ten floors. The explosion will hit the ** and thousands of meters, and the lethality within hundreds of meters is enough to kill.

Urban London was attacked by more than a thousand hail missiles, which were controlled by new radio and mechanical radars. Compared with previous German V-series missiles, hail has a high accuracy. The minimum error is only 2 kilometers and the maximum error is 11 kilometers. It can basically cover urban London.

More than a thousand hail missiles, nearly 500 missiles, landed in central London, causing thousands of buildings to be destroyed and tens of thousands of casualties.

Other cities near the English Channel in Britain were also attacked by German missiles, with casualties similar. On this day, the German army launched more than 5,000 missiles, causing major blows to the British mainland, killing and injuring tens of thousands of people.

Churchill was shocked and did not expect that Germany's missile technology would be so rapid. The German army had fired a series of v1 missiles to Britain before, but at that time, Britain only needed to dispatch aircraft to destroy it in the air, and the accuracy was not as high as it is now. The losses caused to Britain by tens of thousands of v1 missiles were not as great as those caused to Britain by hail missiles in one day.

The Royal Air Force was unable to intercept hail missiles in the air, and the British ground air defense artillery also had little interception effect, which made the British authorities quite panic. The Imperial Chinese Expeditionary Force was continuously traveling to the UK, and the UK urgently needed a safe place to rest.

Under such circumstances, the British government had to ask the Chinese Empire for emergency help. The Chinese Empire had long developed a large number of missile weapons, but they had been deployed in the local area and little was known to the outside world. When the Chinese Empire was developing missiles, it naturally had plans and ideas for intercepting missiles. Therefore, when the British government asked for help, the Chinese Empire immediately sent relevant missile experts to research and restrain German missiles and weapons.

Since the Chinese Empire had already started to study missile technology, it has more than ten years of R&D experience, and the Chinese Empire's strategic missile force has long been officially equipped with Northwest Wind series missiles, and can even carry nuclear warheads. Regarding missile technology, although Germany began to develop first, the Chinese Empire has far surpassed Germany in terms of technology and manufacturing capabilities.

The Northwest Wind series of missiles in the Chinese Empire have been in the development stage, using radio and radar for guidance, and the accuracy has been greatly improved. Therefore, missile experts in the Chinese Empire have conducted research on the radar and radio guidance systems of Germany's hail missiles from the perspective of their own missile technology, with the main research and development purpose of interfering with the radio and radar guidance systems of German missiles.

As the Chinese Empire Expeditionary Forces entered the UK one after another, the Chinese Empire had to consider the safety of the imperial people in the UK, so they made an exception to send radio jamming aircraft and electronic radar jamming ships to the UK to interfere with German missile radio guidance signals.

With the strong support of the Chinese Empire, German missiles quickly lost accuracy, and the error quickly expanded to 11 to 33 kilometers. After a week of missile attack, only a dozen thousands of missiles landed in the urban areas of several cities such as London and Portsmouth in the UK, causing only dozens of casualties. As a result, the German army's hail missile attack failed and had lost its attack value.

The German army planned to give up the use of hail missiles in the next week, but this did not mean that the German army gave up the use of missiles to attack Britain. Without full deployment of German jet fighters, the German army avoided a decisive battle with the United Nations, so launching missiles to attack the United Nations in the United Nations became the best way.
