Chapter 1646: Bloody Battle in the Sky 3

Chapter 1646 Bloody Battle in the Sky 3

"Wait a minute. At this time, the British will be unable to hold on first. About half of their planes have a very short range and insufficient time in the air, so time is on our side." Although Richthofen He also wanted to prove himself in the battle, but as he was familiar with air combat, he knew better that at this time, whoever charged first would suffer!

If the German bombers act first, then the bomber formation will inevitably disband into small groups. The pressure on our own fighters to protect the scattered bomber detachments will be great, thus giving the British more opportunities. In the same way, if the British attack first, Then the offensive and defensive momentum will be different. They must first tear apart the German fighter defense line, and then forcefully charge into the German bomber box array!

Is this situation somewhat similar? It is very similar to the situation when the German interceptor force faced the escorted American bomber force in World War II. First, the FW190A assault aircraft, equipped with two large-caliber cannon pods and full body armor, needed to climb to about 7,000 meters above the level of the American and British bombers. Height, when you climbed up in a hurry for more than ten or twenty minutes, the escorting BF109 first had to fight with the P51 and P47 who were waiting for work in the air, and then they could rush into the group of American bombers, and your movements must be Be quick or you may not have enough fuel. There was no advantage in time or combat situation. This was the dilemma of the Luftwaffe back then.

(Although the internal oil of the FW190 is not much, it is not too little. Like the Zero, it is about 500KG. If I remember correctly, the Zero 21 fighter has 681L of internal oil. As for why the Zero can fly so far, Please, the range of the aircraft depends on the cruising speed. The FW190 can fly 1,000 kilometers at a high altitude at a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour. Can the Zero do it? What is the maximum speed of an egg of the same era? Of course, in terms of design, the egg It is also more suitable for long range. If the speed is reduced, and the cruising speed is reduced from 450 to 500 to less than 350, the range of the FW190 will also be extended a lot. But unfortunately, in the European air battle, both sides are playing High altitude and high speed. In fierce aerial battles, fuel consumption is very fast.)

"The French are coming up!" a German machine gunner said, pointing to the French fighter group that appeared in front of him. On the front were at least a dozen and a half DH9A aircraft, and on the two wings were shields provided by Newport 12 and Camel fighter jets. The fighter jets on the side bravely met the German J-3 fighter jets. The DH9A fighter jet, equipped with at least three large-caliber machine guns, slammed into the front of the German bomber like a siege cone!

The British fought very resolutely. At this time, a large number of German fighter jets came from other stations. After waiting for half a day, the British found that the number of planes in the air had reached the limit. If they wait any longer, the number of planes will become less and less. Taking advantage of the numerical advantage they still had, the British decisively launched a charge.

It has to be said that the DH9A aircraft is indeed a very good aircraft. The engine with a power of about 400 horsepower provides it with quite good scalability. It can be used as a fighter aircraft and can be used as a bomber with bombs. This time, the DH9A was reinstalled. Go into battle,

The British installed a ring of engine armor on the square nose of the aircraft, and also added bulletproof steel plates on the front and back of the pilot. As a result, the Allied version of the assault machine in World War I finally appeared.

The Bull Squadron served as the spearhead of the entire interceptor fleet. There were more than 40 13.2MM machine guns on the 12 DH9A fighter jets aimed at the behemoth in the distance like the sharp teeth of piranhas!

"God bless us!" yelled Captain Cullen, the squadron leader, before entering the attack.

"We will cover you and your fleet. Before we fall, you and your fleet will never be harassed by German fighter jets!" The captain of the escort team next to him said loudly to Cullen. His words were full of respect for these heavy-armed knights in the air of the new era, because in the entire aviation fleet, the fleet responsible for frontal impact on the box formation always suffered the heaviest losses! Most of them rushed towards the bomber formation like a moving volcano like meteors at the last moment of their lives, blooming with the most dazzling light in the blood and fire!

At the same time, the German bomber group on the opposite side was also ready for the impact. "Repeat the order! I swear not to scatter! Even if the opponent's bullet will penetrate our chests in the next second, we must still maintain the formation, for the sake of the brothers beside you, for the victory!"

"Kill them!" 700 meters away, the 12.7MM machine gun on the German bomber fired first. The roar of dozens of machine guns even drowned out the roar of the engine. Hundreds of bullets flew out of the barrel of the gun every second, swooping like locusts on the British aircraft fleet in the distance.

Fire wolves composed of bullets spread out from the front of the bomber formation. In less than 2 seconds, these deadly bullets bit the British fighter jet. The powerful warhead tore open the body of the aircraft and interrupted The sound of wings, explosions and tearing was endless. Cullen could clearly feel that his plane was shaking seriously. The bullets fired from the front hit the armor on the front of the engine, shooting out a series of sparks. The fragments and shrapnel jumped on the huge nose and extended backwards. He tilted his head subconsciously, and a bullet almost hit his head, and then embedded itself in the bulletproof steel plate behind the seat.

The British armor strengthening plan is still somewhat useful. At least Cullen managed to survive this wave of bullets, but his colleagues were not so lucky. Just a few seconds ago, the dense bullets falling from the sky directly covered them. One of his wingmen's violent bullets directly shattered the upper wing of the DH9A into fragments. Then, a large number of bullets and fragments cut the aircraft in half.

The other wingman died more simply. The same fierce side fire hit the fuel tank located at the rear of the engine. The armor-piercing incendiary bomb easily cut through the iron sheet of the fuel tank, and the incendiary agent inside ignited the highly volatile aviation gasoline. With a loud noise, the entire aircraft turned into a burning fireball!

In the final period of the British charge, the Bull Squadron charged fearlessly like a herd of enraged bison, braving the deadly rain of bullets! At least a third of their comrades were destroyed in just a few seconds of shooting, with debris and flames from the explosion shooting into the air. Like big fireworks!

However, the sacrifice of the British was not without effect. In the end, the DH9A fighter jets, which still exceeded double digits, successfully entered the inner circle of the box formation! At a distance of less than 400 meters, when a K-6 bomber almost filled the scope, Captain Cullen pulled the trigger! Four 13.2MM machine guns spit out fiery snakes at the same time, and the vibrations generated when the machine guns fired even made the aircraft tremble continuously.
