Chapter 1644 Bloody Battle in the Sky 1
Is hundreds of bombers a big deal? In this era and on this level of battlefield, dispatching about 150 K-4 and K-6 bombers at once can be regarded as a big deal, but for tens of thousands of French troops who are retreating, if they want to rely on this It is obviously impossible to severely damage the opponent with such a large-scale bombing, but it is enough to cause premature chaos. Under the cover of hundreds of various fighter jets, 10 squadrons of bombers successfully passed through the British air interception network and rushed towards the French troops who were withdrawing westward.
"It's the artillery! They will be our first target today!" The Obsidian Squadron, which entered the battlefield first, targeted a 105MM artillery that was being evacuated from the battlefield. 16 105MM howitzers and a large number of ammunition trucks and auxiliary vehicles were moving in the narrow strip. moving westward on the highway. When the German bombers entered the scene, the French artillerymen could not disperse and look for bunkers like the infantry. They had to try their best to control the carriages to prevent those crazy horses from being destroyed together with the carriages and cannons!
Several bright yellow fire snakes jumped into the air from the ground, which was the last resistance of the French, but how could a few hastily assumed machine guns pose a threat to the K-6 bomber? The Germans didn't even bother to fire back with machine guns. They directed all their firepower at the French artillery units that were retreating down the road!
Naturally, the first thing to appear was napalm. Six bombers flew over the side of the road. The fleet of planes lined up just covered the entire convoy. In the absence of external threats, the Germans boldly adjusted the bombing height to about 100 meters. When the plane flew over the heads of the French, the roar of the bomber engines was like thunder. In less than half a minute, 6 bombers dropped more than 20 napalm bombs totaling more than 4 tons on the French. In the queue that reaches thousands of meters!
boom! Along with a series of explosions, huge flames and thick black smoke rose into the sky. The shock wave generated by the explosion swept across the entire road. Countless fires flew around like fireworks, and then burned everything they encountered. The artillery carriage in the middle was bombarded intensively. At least half of the artillery was engulfed by the fireballs falling from the sky, while the remaining artillery was also knocked around. The fire spread quickly with thick smoke, and a suffocating heat wave rolled on the ground. From time to time, the screams of burned horses and people came from the road. After a burst of bombing, the entire road turned into a charred hell filled with flames and destruction.
However, the disaster was not over yet. When the first wave of bombers had just completed their bombing and were preparing to launch again, the second wave of bombers had already entered the scene. They were targeting the logistics support detachment behind the artillery truck. Under such circumstances, it was natural not to Someone will take away the artillery shells. These convoys that were originally used to transport artillery shells have now become transport vehicles. Each heavy-duty carriage carries a dozen or even more than twenty French soldiers. When the air raid started, these people jumped out of their vehicles and looked for cover everywhere.
"Boys, be sure to drop the bomb at an altitude of 150 meters to 200 meters. In this case, when our bomb explodes, it should be right on top of the French guy's head!" Before the attack, the captain emphasized again, using a grenade. Shotgun shooting is a technical job,
Similar to the requirements of artillery, the shrapnel thrown by bombers also needs to explode above the opponent's head in order to achieve the best bombing effect, which places high demands on the entire crew. Some Air Force personnel believe that such bombs are very unfriendly and unfriendly. It would be better to replace them all with high-explosive bombs to save trouble. But at least for now, shrapnel shells are still very popular among some experienced veteran bomber units!
A K-6 bomber flew diagonally through the French crowd. The pylon on the belly of the aircraft was opened, and five rounds of 100KG shrapnel were thrown out. They fell in a line in the air. At the moment the bomb was dropped, , the delayed fuses of the artillery shells had been fired, and the bombs exploded at a height of 15 to 30 meters above the heads of the French. As the projectiles exploded, thousands of steel balls flew out, forming a huge oval-shaped killing surface. This is a real rain of bullets. Projectiles with a diameter of about 2 centimeters sweep across the ground at a speed of hundreds of meters per second. They are even more terrifying than a machine gun firing sideways at close range. No matter whether the Frenchman below is standing or lying down, as long as Those in the killing zone were torn to pieces by the crazy metal storm.
After a burst of bombing, blood stained the ground red, and the entire crowd was blown into several pieces by the bomb. Those who were lucky enough to escape were hiding in corners and shivering. The Germans thought this was not enough. Several bombers that had dropped their bombs kept hovering over the battlefield, using machine guns to shoot at all visible targets on the ground. Until ammunition and fuel run out, or British fighter jets arrive!
"It's so confusing!" This was Captain Jerry's first reaction after entering the battlefield. The French army was running around all over the world, and the German bombers were also chasing them all over the world. Looking around, the entire battlefield was in chaos. Captain Jerry and his men could only drift with the flow, and they would die if they caught a prey. It's ready to go up. As a result, a squadron of fighter jets fell apart immediately after entering the battlefield, but now, he and his two wingmen caught a K-4 bomber that had just dropped its bombs.
"A cunning guy!" Jerry piloted a Camel fighter plane and tried to bite the German bomber, but who knew that the plane slipped like a loach. After the bombing, the plane did not climb away directly. Instead, it continued to fly at low altitude and high speed, trying to use speed to avoid the British fighter jets behind it. Although it is a simple flying straight line. But it is the most correct choice at this time!
Can the K-4 bomber avoid the pursuit of the famous Camel fighter in history by flying in a straight line? The answer is completely possible. Although the maximum flight speed of the camel fighter is as high as more than 180 kilometers per hour, that is historical data. In this dimension, at least the performance of the current batch of camels is far inferior to history.
To be honest, the design of the Camel fighter is really good. It uses an engine with only 130 horsepower to allow the aircraft to fly at a speed of nearly 200 kilometers. In terms of speed, it is at the same level as the Fokker DIII fighter, and the latter The engine is 175 horsepower.
One of the key factors to achieve this performance is that the Camel fighter is very light. The empty weight of this aircraft is only 420KG, and the maximum landing weight is only 660KG. And what about the Fokker DIII fighter? The empty weight reaches 670KG, and the normal combat weight exceeds 900KG...
