The decisive battle against the Third Reich

The two V1 missiles were moved to the launcher and refueled under dim light.

The reason for operating at night is, on the one hand, it is safer to refuel when the temperature is low at night, and on the other hand, it is not easy to be bombed by the enemy at night. More importantly, it is easier to observe explosive spots 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... Von Braun and others want to collect actual combat data and make further corrections and improvements.

It is basically impossible to collect data during the day, as the entire sky belongs to the enemy.

It's much better at night. After the rocket is launched, there will be long flame trails in the darkness... Rommel has already arranged for five submarines to surface on the sea where the V1 missile may pass and are ready for observation and positioning.

On the other hand, in order to observe the impact point of the V1 missile, two other submarines were arranged to observe the explosive point.

"Why can submarines detect explosive points?" Rommel asked with interest. Rommel was keen on land warfare, so he didn't know much about naval warfare, especially submarines.

"It is true that submarines cannot detect explosive sites, General!" Conrad replied: "But there are planes on submarines!"

"Is there an airplane on the submarine?" Rommel turned to look at Conrad.

"The colonel is talking about FA330!" Hannah laughed: "That's not even an aircraft, but a glider!"

"Yes!" Conrad replied: "The reason is that it is difficult for U submarines to find targets 10 kilometers away at sea. This makes our submarines often waste a lot of energy searching for targets at sea. We know that , Germany is short of fuel!”

"We were lacking before!" Rommel corrected: "After the captain discovered the oil fields in North Africa, we became rich!"

The officers "coaxed" them to laugh out loud.

Hannah leaned close to 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 'value' me more!"

Hannah couldn't help being stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but laugh: "You are so funny, Captain!"

Qin Chuan was not very satisfied with this answer, because he knew that if a girl responded with words like "joking" or "humorous", it would basically be a polite rejection.

Conrad continued: "Well, there was a lack of fuel 'before'. And then, in this situation where there was a lack of fuel 'before,' we had to try to figure out a way to save fuel, and so there was The FA300... takes off via a rotor, then glides on a submarine tow, and conducts reconnaissance and photography at an altitude of about 200 meters. We rely on it to observe the explosion point of the missile!”

Rommel nodded with satisfaction: "Isn't there any danger?"

"Of course there is danger!" Conrad said: "But it's very small. The disadvantage is that it has a large reflection area and is easily detected by enemy radar. But it's nothing, because it can observe targets 50 kilometers away, which is the distance from us. The enemy was 50 kilometers away. By the time the enemy arrived, we had already recovered the plane and dived into the water!”

Qin Chuan also knew something about the FA330. It was actually the first helicopter used in actual combat, but it did not have independent power.

And its output is not small, with a confirmed output of at least 200 units. Its performance is very excellent, and installation only takes 13 minutes. But unfortunately, the submarine is most worried about being discovered by the enemy, so its large reflective area becomes its fatal flaw. As a result, it does not perform well in actual combat... because the submarine itself rarely makes it.

"I hope to see it sometime, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said.

Conrad's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this: "No time, Captain...any time is fine! If you are willing, I can make arrangements for you right away!"

What Conrad hopes most is that Qin Chuan looks at every piece of equipment and then makes some suggestions.

This time Conrad guessed correctly, Qin Chuan also had this idea.

Germany may have strong industry and manufacturing, and it is also very creative, such as missiles, helicopters, etc., but they themselves do not know how these things can play a role on the battlefield.

What Qin Chuan has to do is tell them and make improvements.

"I can be a pilot!" Hannah volunteered.

"Oh, Hannah!" Conrad said: "Although you are the best pilot, your foot injury..."

Rommel interjected: "I believe the captain will be willing to wait until the major recovers from his injury before going to see this FA330!"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan glanced at Hannah and said, "This is a good opportunity!"

"Well done, Captain!" The officers couldn't help but cheer, even Conrad was no exception.

When the scene became quiet 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, "You don't want it to be a joke?"

At this time V1 has completed fueling and final inspections.

"I want to ask you a question, Captain!" Hannah looked at the V1 missile: "As General Rommel said, did you save me for the medal, or for personal reasons?"

"Is this important?" Qin Chuan asked.

"It is indeed very important to me!" Hannah turned back and glanced at Qin Chuan.

"I can choose to destroy the 'target drone'!" Qin Chuan replied: "Just like Dominic said!"

Hannah said nothing and 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 good as her should be pursued by many men.

What Qin Chuan doesn't know is that women like Hannah often fall into a trap: many people are too ashamed to express their feelings to Hannah, and Hannah is devoted to her flying career, so ordinary people can't get into her. She has a discerning eye and becomes a "leftover woman".

Von Braun began to count down the seconds: "Ten, nine, eight..."

The moment von Braun shouted "Light the fire", Hannah suddenly turned around and kissed Qin Chuan on the mouth, and then raised her hands like everyone else as if nothing had happened and shouted: "Hey, we succeeded. "

Qin Chuan touched his lips, unable to believe that this was true.

"Did you see it? Captain!" Hannah actually turned around and asked Qin Chuan: "We succeeded!"

"No, I didn't see anything!" Qin Chuan replied with a wry smile: "I want to see it again!"
