Chapter 1563: V-four modified missile (1/2)
Shipyards can only be distributed along the coast. It is impossible for the Americans to transfer industry to the inland like the Soviet Union, at least not for the shipbuilding industry. What is better is that the Americans are now a big new aircraft carrier, outfitting. The outfitting, the shipbuilding hull, which has not yet been fully commissioned, is the best opportunity to fight.
Iceland.
Although it is already summer, the climate in Iceland is still cool, the highest will not exceed 20 degrees, it is the most suitable weather.
At the same time, because Iceland is located at high latitudes, in summer, the day will be very long and the night will be quite short.
In the capital of Iceland, one hundred kilometers west of Reykjavík, on the flat ground between a platform of cols, at this time, it is busy.
This is a fixed launch position.
The previous V-2 missiles were only ten meters in length, and could be easily dragged forward by a trailer, and could be shot up at any time. However, as the length of the missile continues to increase, it will be a lot of trouble to launch maneuvering.
Now in Germany, the chassis of the mouse tank is being used as a chassis for mobile launches. At the same time, many fixed launch positions on the ground are also being built.
The so-called fixed launch positions are those that cannot be moved. At the same time, in order to avoid enemy strikes, these fixed launch positions are all in the form of silos.
Usually, after the manhole cover is closed, there is nothing to see. At the same time, the manhole cover can also carry a large-yield bomb attack. That is to say, if the Americans brazenly dispatch bombers or even use naval guns to shoot at close range. The launch position can also resist.
At the same time, anti-aircraft artillery positions are deployed on the mountain peaks on both sides. It is not so easy for the Americans to bomb.
The bombing of aircraft must first enter the bombing route, aim at the target, and fly straight. Now this is a basin. After they entered, they couldn't find the target at all. When they found the target, they had already flown.
Here is the best launch position.
When it is built as a silo, there are more problems. The biggest problem is how to discharge the gas during launch. It is necessary to design a complicated diversion device.
German engineers overcame various problems. In less than a month, twenty underground silos were built here, and progress is absolutely rapid.
At the same time, a final assembly workshop hidden in the forest was built right next to the launch site. Missile parts transported from the Empire were assembled in the final assembly workshop and transported to the launch silo here for launch. It's efficient.
After the initial production, as long as the supply of parts is sufficient, they can produce 20 missiles a day.
Just supply the continuous launch of missiles.
At this time, in the wooden command room in the corner of the launch site, Colonel Wald Dornberg, the head of the Iceland missile base, gave a loud order: ”Attention, two hours of preparation, target, Norfolk, Newport News Shipyard. North latitude: 36°54' West longitude: 76°18'.”
