Chapter 1062 - Tracer (1)

In tens of seconds, hundreds of tons of ammunition were detonated. Dozens of railroad tracks, cargo stations, and marshalling stations were wiped out in the explosion. This was just the beginning. The explosion also ignited a nearby granary. Know that flour is also a high-energy explosive when the conditions are right! After hundreds of tons of flour in this granary were thrown in the air and then ignited by incendiary bombs, the fate of the entire city has been decided. With the help of wind, the fire spreading from the northwest will eventually swallow the whole city! This center for supplying the Seventh Army is completely finished!

"We seem to have made a big deal." The Lancer bomber squadron commander who lit all the fuse looked at the half of the city that had become a sea of ​​flames and said with lingering fear. He also didn't expect that a bomb would cause such a big damage.

"Everything we saw was burning and exploding, and the whole city was almost turned into a sin city that was punished and destroyed by God in the Bible. We had estimated the impact of this air strike before we set off, and we may only be able to blow it up. Thirty percent of the Russian army’s supplies paralyzed this place for about a week at most. If you are lucky, it can cause 4-digit casualties. But now, we have discovered that the Air Force is like the demon released from Pandora’s box. It’s horrible. I hope God can forgive me. All of this was brought about by the heinous war.” After this battle, a German Air Force captain described the scene like this.

And just as the bombing on the ground had reached its climax, at an altitude of 4,300 meters, a special unit was divided into six 4-plane formations cruising around the battlefield. Judging from the painting of the aircraft, these aircraft should belong to the "Experts Second Squadron." And one of the planes with red paint on the nose is very eye-catching in the entire fleet. These guys, who look very similar to the K-4 bomber, are performing a special mission, waiting for their prey to come.

From the technical context, these aircraft can also be called a derivative of the K-4 bomber. But it is different from the three twin-engine bombers that perform bombing missions. Almost no weight of this aircraft is reserved for bombing! This twin-engine aircraft, numbered K-4M, was developed from the K-4J long-range reconnaissance aircraft. The latter is a two-seater aircraft. The last seat is made into a fuel tank to increase the range. At the same time, because it does not need to perform bombing tasks, the strength of the aircraft is slightly weaker. At the same time, all bomb-related components, such as sighting devices and bomb hangers, have been removed. Rack and so on. After some improvements, this aircraft has become the longest range of the aircraft currently participating in the war.

The K-4M aircraft, known as the Tracer, is a heavy-duty fighter based on the high-speed and long-range K-4J aircraft! Specially used to hunt down some more prudent aerial targets! Perhaps some people thought of the Russian Ilya four-shot bomber for the first time, but in fact, it was only the tracer who dealt with this Russian bomber. How could Prince Ruprecht, who is a traverser, not know the 3 and 4 air overlords in the middle and late stages of the first battle? Besides, V400 and V1500 are the existence that you can't bypass. If you want to use ordinary fighter jets to kill Dongdong that is comparable in size to B17, the difficulty is not so big!

When the K-4 bomber began production, Tracer had actually begun research and development. And now, when the Russian Ilya bomber appeared, the first production model of Tracer had been delivered. The Russians were unfortunate, but at the same time very lucky, because they were the first and professional interceptors in the world. The countries that are fighting against it, unfortunately, are also easy to explain, because these planes are designed to deal with Ilya, a giant in the sky!

These planes are not simply used as interceptors with two machine guns. Although in the Second World War, in order to deal with various bombers, many twin-engine fighters were used or they were simply double-engined bombers. In fact, The difference between interceptors and ordinary fighters is still very huge, especially this K-4M interceptor, which is called the pinnacle of today's aviation is no exaggeration!

Since you want to intercept the opponent, you need at least two points. First, the speed is fast enough. The second firepower is strong enough! Increasing engine power is naturally the most direct and violent way to increase speed, but it is a pity that the engine power can be increased by increasing it? ! The current power system uses the same 250 horsepower Daimler-Benz engine as the ordinary K-4 bomber. However, the weight is slightly reduced. In order to make this aircraft have a higher speed, the German designers have worked hard.

Because there is no need to undertake bombing tasks, it is necessary to reduce the weight of the structure. At the same time, in order to reduce the frontal resistance, the Germans finally put their ideas on the wing. The length of the Tracer's wing is nearly 2 times shorter than that of the K-4. Mido! A brand new fairing was installed on the front of the engine. The whole body is also shortened and more like a spindle. After some improvements, the weight of the aircraft is 300KG lower than the empty weight of the ordinary K-4 bomber. However, due to the increase in wing load, the hovering and landing performance are a little worse. But all these changes allow the K-4M bomber to fly at a high speed of 210 kilometers in combat! You must know that the maximum flight speed of the historical Fokker D fighter is about 180!

Although the engine power remains the same ~lightnovelpub.net~, this engine has undergone some changes after all. The biggest change is the optimization of the high altitude section! On the engine, German engineers installed the first supercharger for the aero engine! Why can't the World War I aircraft get up high? On the one hand, the power is poor, and on the other hand, the air intake is insufficient. If you can increase the power hard, you can naturally, but there is another way to increase the air intake to improve the engine's working conditions at different altitudes. In fact, unlike what some people in later generations imagined, the supercharger of the 2 fighter aircraft was not only turned on at high altitudes, but in fact it was turned on at mid-to-low altitude PK. For aero engines, the amount of fuel injection is never a problem, the biggest problem is the amount of intake air.

After installing a very primitive supercharger, the maximum height of the K-4M bomber reached more than 4500 meters! You know, this is about 1,000 meters higher than the flying altitude of a huge number of fighters and bombers! That is to say, in theory, if this aircraft wants to cross the battlefield, apart from being blinded by the opponent's antiaircraft artillery, no presence in the air can threaten their existence! Because you can't reach it!
