“If the Air Force cannot take off at night, it will be a bit difficult to cooperate with the Army!”

“However, if the air force is dispatched at night, even if it is for reconnaissance missions, it is unlikely to see any results, right?”

In this era, infrared cameras have not yet been invented. If conventional optical cameras are used, there will be serious lighting problems at night. If the exposure is insufficient, the photo will look pitch black and you probably won’t be able to see anything.

So even if a reconnaissance plane is dispatched, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve results.

“Why not try using flares on reconnaissance planes?

Someone came up with an idea, which was to move the flares used by the army to the reconnaissance planes of the Air Force. When they flew over the target, the soldiers on the reconnaissance planes would release flares to illuminate the situation on the ground.

“But if that’s the case, it would probably be easily exposed, right?”

“Indeed, the flares will not only illuminate the enemy, but also expose the position of our reconnaissance aircraft, so our reconnaissance aircraft is likely to be intercepted and bombarded by the enemy!”

Reconnaissance aircraft usually do not fly very high. In order to see the target on the ground as clearly as possible, they need to lower the altitude, so that the photos will be clearer.

“If the reconnaissance plane is shot down by the enemy, it will be difficult to transmit the intelligence back intact!”

This problem is quite tricky, so no one can think of a good solution.

“If there is a camera that can clearly capture the enemy’s activities on the ground without using flares, can the Air Force carry out this mission?”

Just when everyone had almost given up hope and didn’t intend to continue to dwell on this matter,

Mainz suddenly spoke up.

“”Führer, do you mean that our country has already developed such a camera?”

Goering asked in surprise.

If there really is a camera that can take clear photos directly in the dark night without any other means, it will be a huge improvement for their air force!

“Of course, Zeiss has already developed this kind of camera with infrared camera function. You can apply for a batch of them and use them to modify the reconnaissance aircraft. In this way, you can perform reconnaissance missions at night!”

Mainz said to Goering with a smile

“Great, with this thing, let alone reconnaissance planes, even bombers and fighters, we are confident that we can take off at night to carry out missions!”

Goering was very happy. With such night vision equipment, they can find ground targets at night, and then launch precise strikes on the targets.

There were two main reasons that troubled the air force’s night operations before: the first is that it is very difficult to take off and land at night, and there are huge risks in all aspects. The second is that it is difficult to find targets when taking off and operating at night, resulting in very low mission efficiency.

The huge risks plus low efficiency are the reasons why night air force operations are not taken seriously.

However, night operations are not all bad.

In the history of World War II, the Allies often used the cover of the night sky to quietly dispatch bombers to bomb the homelands of the Third Reich and the Axis powers.

At night, with the cover of the night sky, the Allied air forces can easily find lights and channels. The brightly lit cities on the ground.

But it is difficult for people on the ground to find the position of enemy aircraft in the dark night sky.

This allows the Allied bombers to perform their missions more safely!

However, the target that the German army is going to attack this time is in the wild.

The other party should implement a blackout. In this case, it is not realistic to find the other party with the help of lights.

However, with the help of infrared cameras, this problem will be much simpler.

After the Air Force confirmed to go into battle, the General Staff immediately readjusted the combat deployment, and then formally gave its approval, agreeing to Guderian’s combat request.

After receiving a call back from Berlin, Guderian was confused.

“Uh, don’t those guys in the Supreme Command need to sleep? It’s already two or three in the morning, and they are still sending telegrams here. I thought they would not call back until at least tomorrow!”

Guderian is in Mins City, Mins City is located in East District 3, and Berlin is in East District 1. There is a two-hour time difference between the two places.

When it was already two or three in the morning for Guderian, Berlin had just entered the early hours of the morning.

However, Guderian was right. It was already midnight, and the guys in the Supreme Command were still working. It must be said that they really were a group of workaholics.

Guderian read the other party’s reply with sleepy eyes, resisting the huge sleepiness.

Then he sat up and couldn’t fall asleep at all!

“.”This is, agreed?”

He was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that his battle plan would be approved and agreed so quickly!

“Uh, it also said that the Air Force will also be dispatched to cooperate with our actions. When did Goering become so easy to talk to?”

Based on Guderian’s understanding of Goering, he felt that Goering was not the kind of person who was easy to talk to, but this time, the Air Force seemed to be very enthusiastic.

It gave people the feeling that the Air Force took the initiative to ask to participate in the war!

It would be fine if they sent bombers and reconnaissance planes, which could indeed come in handy.

However, they insisted on sending a large number of fighters to fight. What are they trying to do?

Will the Soviet fighters take off and fight at night?

This is impossible, right?

The front-line airports of the bear have been destroyed (Qiannuo’s), not to mention how many airports they have with take-off and landing capabilities.

Even if they still have airports to use, under such unfavorable conditions at night, the Soviet army will never send fighters to fight.

Since the enemy will not send fighters to fight, is it necessary for our own air force to dispatch so many fighters?

“Forget it, who cares what Ge Buling wants to do! It is a pleasant surprise that they can be dispatched, and we can’t ask for more from them!”Guderian is very open-minded. The protagonist of this battle is their army, not the air force.

The dispatch of the air force is the icing on the cake for them. It is naturally best to have their help. Without their help, the army can fight on its own.

But since the air force is willing to help, please ask them to dispatch reconnaissance planes as soon as possible to find out the specific location of the enemy and the detailed information on the distribution of troops! _To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download the Faloo Novel APP!
