Chapter 1646： Bloody Battle

Chapter 1646 Bloody battle in the sky (3)

"Wait, at this time, first of all, the British will not be able to hold it. About half of them have a very close range of aircraft, and there is not enough time in the air, so time is on our side." Although Richthofen He also wanted to prove himself in battle, but he who is familiar with air combat knows better that at this time, whoever rushes first loses!

If the German bombers act first, then the bomber formation will inevitably disband into squads, and the pressure on your own fighters to protect the scattered bomber detachments will be great, which will give the British more opportunities. Similarly, if the British attack first, Then the offensive and defensive momentum is different, they must first tear open the German fighter defense line, and then force the German bomber box array!

Is this situation a bit similar? It is very similar to the situation of the German interceptor unit facing the escorted American bomber unit in World War II. First, the FW190A submachine with two large-caliber cannon pods and full armor needs to climb to about 7000 meters from the American and British bombers. Altitude. After you have spent more than ten minutes and twenty minutes climbing up, the escorted BF109 must fight with the P51 and P47 waiting in the air, and then you can rush into the American bomber group, and your actions must Be fast, otherwise the oil may not be enough. There is no advantage in time or combat situation. This is the predicament of the Luftwaffe.

(Although the FW190's internal oil is not much, it is not too small. Like the zero type, it is up to 500KG. The zero 21 fighter has an internal oil of 681L if I remember correctly. As for why the zero can fly so far, Please, the cruising speed depends on the range of the aircraft. The FW190 can fly 1,000 kilometers at an altitude of more than 500 kilometers per hour. Is it possible for Zero? What is the maximum speed of eggs of the same era? Of course, in design, eggs It is also more suitable for long voyages. If the speed is reduced and the cruise speed is reduced from 450 to 500 to less than 350, the FW190’s range will also be extended a lot. But unfortunately, in European air combat, both sides play High-altitude and high-speed. In fierce air combat, fuel consumption is rapid.)

"The French are coming!" said a German machine gun pointing at the French fighter group that appeared in front of him. The front was at least one and a half dozen DH9A aircraft, and on the two wings were shields provided by Newport 12 and Camel fighters. The fighter on the side bravely met the German J-3 fighter. The DH9A fighter, equipped with at least 3 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 fighters came from other stations. After the British waited for a long time, the number of aircraft in the air had reached the limit, and the number of aircraft would become less and less after waiting. Taking advantage of the quantitative advantage, the British decisively launched a charge.

It must 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 expandability. It can be used as a fighter, and it is a bomber with a bomb. This time, the DH9A is reinstalled. In battle, the British installed a circle of engine armor on the square nose of the plane, and also installed bulletproof steel plates on the front and back of the pilot. As a result, the Allied version of the assault aircraft finally appeared in World War I.

The Bull Squadron acted as the spearhead of the entire interceptor group. As many as 40 13.2MM machine guns on the 12 DH9A fighters were aimed at the behemoth in the distance like the sharp teeth of piranhas!

"May God bless us!" Squadron Captain Captain Cullen said loudly before entering the attack.

"We will cover you and your fleet. Before we fall, you and your fleet will never be harassed by German fighters!" The captain of the **** team next to him said loudly to Cullen. His words are full of respect for these new-age air reloaded knights, because in the entire aviation fleet, the aircraft group responsible for the frontal impact of the box formation is always the heaviest! At the last moment of their lives, most of them rushed into the bomber formation like a moving volcano like a meteor, bursting out the most dazzling light in the blood and fire!

At the same time, the German bomber group on the opposite side was also ready to meet the impact. "Repeat the command again! Swear not to disperse! Even if the opponent's bullet will penetrate our chest in the next second, we still have to maintain the formation, for the brothers around you, for the victory!"

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

Fire wolves made up of bullets spread out from the front of the bomber formation. In less than 2 seconds, these deadly bullets bit on the British fighters. The powerful warheads ripped apart the aircraft's body and interrupted it. The sound of the wings, explosions and tears was endless. Cullen could clearly feel that his plane was shaking severely. The oncoming bullet hit the armor on the front of the engine and shot out a series of sparks. The fragments and shrapnel jumped on the huge nose and stretched backwards. Subconsciously tilting his head, a bullet shot almost against his forehead, and then embedded in the bulletproof steel plate behind the seat.

The British armor reinforcement plan is still somewhat useful. At least Cullen successfully survived this wave of bullet rain, but his colleagues were not so lucky. Just a few seconds ago, dense bullets from the sky were directly covered. One of his wingmen violent bullets directly shattered the upper wing of the DH9A into fragments, and then a mass of bullets and fragments cut the plane in half.

The other wingman died more simply, and the same fierce side-fire fire hit the fuel tank located at the rear of the engine. The armor-piercing incendiary bomb easily cut 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 last period of the British charge, the Bulls squadron fearlessly charged like a group of enraged bison, braving the deadly bullet rain! At least one-third of their companions were destroyed within a few seconds of shooting, and the debris and flames produced by the explosion shot out in the air. Just like big fireworks!

However, the sacrifice of the British was not without effect. In the end, the DH9A fighter, 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 was almost full of scopes, Captain Cullen pulled the trigger! Four 13.2MM machine guns spit out fire snakes at the same time, and the vibration produced by the machine guns even caused the aircraft to vibrate constantly.
