Chapter 1940: The Horn of Attack One

And just after the frontier security system discovered the Raven fleet entering the German airspace, in less than 2 hours, the German Air Force Headquarters located at least 5 large offensive fleets! These fleets are marked on the huge map on the wall with different colored markers. And the Raven Fleet that was discovered first was called the Blue Fleet!

"The reconnaissance fleet has locked the opponent's position and course, and they are aiming at the supply convoy that is currently traveling on Highway 3. The British reconnaissance plane has entered the vicinity of the convoy. Some enemy fighter jets have begun to climb to an altitude of 4,000 meters for vigilance , the alert fleet formed a 60-degree arc cordon in front of the target area. The British bomber force is expected to enter the field in 30 minutes! The opponent’s fleet is very large, with more than 100 aircraft by visual inspection.” Soon, the staff officers reported the intelligence of the British army Summed up.

"Very good. If the large fleets previously positioned are of this size, then counting the sporadic fleets of the British, they can be said to be elite today. Immediately inform His Royal Highness that a storm is coming." Harrell Said.

At this time, in the vast area extending from the front line of the German army to the eastern part of Belgium, more than 3,000 aircraft in more than 200 airports have been ready for battle. They had been waiting, waiting for a large-scale British attack, and when most of the forward airfield was exposed, a storm was brewing. The British launched their first large-scale attack since Operation Lightning. What the British did not expect was that this attack was their first, and probably their last attack. More than 3,000 bombers were only the first attack today. The first wave, the second wave of about 1400 aircraft will continue to attack in the afternoon!

And there are more than 700 fighter jets of all kinds, which are the fury before the storm! Under the guidance of the ground, these aircraft used the terrain and clouds to bypass the reconnaissance fan at the front of the British fleet, and approached the opponent from the side and rear! Before joining the battle, the German squadron leaders also received orders not to beat the British bomber fleet too badly....

"The sentry confirmed that there is no German fighter group in front." Colonel Daelon, the commander of the Raven fleet, finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving this information. The situation is much better than he imagined, and the Germans seem to know nothing about their situation at present? The fleet has descended to a height of 2,000 meters. At this time, Colonel Daelon can already see the German convoy more than ten kilometers away. They are marching on the road in an orderly manner, and they seem to be ignorant of the upcoming attack?

"I found the British bomber group. Except for about 10 fighter jets next to it, there is no escort! And their fighter jets are positioned low, probably to suppress ground anti-aircraft fire! We entered from their six o'clock direction! No one can stop us!" Lieutenant Colonel Raul, the captain of the Executioner Interceptor Squadron who rushed to the battlefield in the first wave, had clearly seen the British bomber fleet, and he estimated that the number of the other party was about 40 to 50 There are about 36 interceptors on my side!

"I hope these new things will not disappoint us." He looked at the K-4S interceptor next to him, which was very similar in shape to the K-4M. What Lieutenant Colonel Raul said in his heart. To be honest, he is very satisfied with the performance of the K-4M interceptor now. In his opinion, the three 20mm machine guns and two large-caliber machine guns in the nose can completely shred any target. Compared with DH9 A large single-engine aircraft is also a matter of 3 seconds. The dense shells form an oval drop area 300 meters away, and then tracer shells and high-explosive shells are fired alternately, which can easily tear the target into pieces.

Even against a bomber like FB27, under normal circumstances, it can be shot down with a maximum of 3 shots.

The ammunition consumed is about 300 rounds. But some in the Air Force still don't think that's efficient enough.... Their pursuit of firepower has even reached the point of insanity! (At least in the eyes of Lieutenant Colonel Lauer.) So some people tried to put heavier 2-pound guns on the plane, and some people also planned to carry small bombs on the wings, and then bombed the aircraft from the other side. Throw it down as you pass by....

Eventually, some more reliable people figured out how to use rockets. And this method is said to have been supported by Crown Prince Ruprecht, so some K-4M interceptors were converted into rocket launchers. The specific improvement measures were to install some wooden guide rails on the lower wings. A launch tube is installed on the top, and a rocket is installed in the launch tube, which is fired by electric shock, and there is rifling in the launch tube. After the rocket is launched, it will rotate, and the previously folded wings at the tail will also open to ensure the flight stability of the rocket.

These so-called R1 rockets probably weigh about 4KG and are 0.9 meters long. Warhead diameter is 50MM. The initial speed of flight is about 300 meters per second. Actually the precision is very limited. However, it is so powerful that the high-explosive warhead is filled with at least 600 grams of explosives. It belongs to the kind of stuff that gets into the soul! To deal with the FB27 bomber, it is estimated that it is almost enough to hit one shot. The V1500 may be stronger, but it will still hang if it hits three shots, and the most important thing is that a K-4S interceptor can kill it within 3 seconds. Shoot out all 24 rounds of R1 rockets....

"We attract the attention of the opponent's machine gunners and let those K-4S slaughter them!" Lt. Col. Lauer ordered. The accuracy of the rockets itself is not high, and the hit distance is even closer than that of the machine gun. In addition, the huge load brought by the 24 rockets and the launching device makes the K-4S interceptor move slowly. Therefore, these powerful melee weapons need to be well protected.

However, relying on good intelligence and the cover of clouds in the sky, when the interceptors of the Executioner Battalion entered the final shallow dive attack stage, the British bombers who were already preparing to enter the bombing route discovered the trailing killer!

"Damn it, it's the German Black Death!"

"We're surrounded! Where's the fighter unit?" There were deep fears in the exclamation. There were not many experienced crew members left, and the so-called machine gunners were even a group of newcomers. Some of them didn't even have full machine gun training! The roar of the Lewis machine gun broke the peaceful battlefield. However, although the rain of bullets was dense this time, it was not fatal!

"They actually fired up all the ammunition at once... Poor rookie! Has the Royal Air Force fallen to this level?" A German pilot looked at the British bomber that suddenly misfired after approaching, silently A moment of silence for the predecessors of the Royal Air Force.
