After a short but crazy fight, a small group of lucky British interceptors finally successfully passed through the German defense. When the other DH11s were fighting K4M fiercely, these lucky guys could finally look straight. Those huge figures are gone. The German bomber group is right in front of them. At a distance of less than 1 km, the British can finally see the huge figure of the K8 bomber at close range, with the huge fuselage of more than 30 meters spread out across the eyes. And the machine guns densely packed up and down like dragons are enough to make the bravest warriors hesitate.
It has to be said that the crew that can rush to the front of the German bomber is still a bit of a burden. Even if there is not enough time, when the opponent's machine gun is about to hit his forehead, most of the survivors are still arranged with the friendly army next to them. Became a temporary crew, rushed to the distant opponent with a small fleet of 3 to 5, 800 meters! The two sides started firepower contact!
"The firepower of the other party doesn't seem to be fierce?" said a British pilot looking at a series of tracer bullets shot from the upper machine gun tower of a K8 bomber in the distance. The barrage rushing over like a wall did not appear. When the Germans started shooting, it was a series of tracer bullets, with luminous fuel behind the flying bullets, like fireflies in the night. These machine gunners are all okay, and one trajectory is flying next to the British aircraft. From time to time, a few bullets hit the DH11, but these are all tolerable damage. After flying a few pieces of wood or leaving some bullet marks on the steel plate, the British continued to rush towards the opponent firmly! At this distance, it may be more difficult to use this firepower density to cause fatal injuries to the British.
400 meters! This distance is almost the best distance for air weapons on both sides. The British pilot squeezed the trigger fiercely, and the four machine guns fired alternately. Hundreds of bullets were fired in a few seconds. On the opposite side, the German bomber was on board. , All the machine guns with a range of fire on his body were aimed at one of the British interceptors at the same time, looking at the black hole of the muzzle at himself, the British pilot instinctively wanted to dodge!
But everything is too late! Also, the turret on the upper part of the fuselage fired a series of tracer shells. Subsequently, the machine guns on the nose, lower part of the fuselage and flanks of this K8 bomber all aimed at the same target. Under the continuous shooting and guidance of the tracer shells, it was like a metal storm. The bullet formed a loophole-shaped barrage and instantly enveloped the target!
Unlike the disorganized barrage we encountered before, this time, the Germans’ landings were very dense, and with the movement of the plane, in just a few seconds, before the British could react, dozens of A bullet penetrated the cockpit of the interceptor, and the two pilots died on the spot. Ten seconds later, the bullet that continued to fire was like a chainsaw, tearing the plane in half!
In the next five minutes, the squadron’s K8 bombers fired down four British fighters in succession. The combat efficiency was horribly high. It should be known that although the interceptors and bombers of the two sides were fighting in the first round. It is possible to get more than 15 aircraft in the middle, but when they entered the war, they were basically nearly a hundred pilots. This time, 7 British interceptors faced a squadron of German bombers. Four were beaten down, and there was no loss at all except one bomber suffered moderate damage. This result surprised the Germans!
This time, the Germans adopted a tactic of concentrated attack. To make it clear, the machine gun on the top of the fuselage with the best shooting position is attached to the tracer and the best shooter. He chooses the target to attack and marks the target with the tracer. Then, through Information transmission inside the machine, for example, a set of light bulbs to indicate the distance to the opponent, and then other shooters aim directly according to the target. Although the technical level is not very high, but the technology is indeed very good.
"God, I finally bite it!" After seeing his own 4 planes being beaten into fireballs one after another, Ensign Holland finally succeeded in occupying the attacking position. At this time, it was at the top of the box formation. Except for the two machine guns, no one interfered with it. As a veteran who once defeated 3 German bombers, he naturally knew the weaknesses of the bombers. If you want to destroy an opponent through a head-to-head attack, it is very strenuous, but if you can start from the weakness, the effect will be different.
In this era, the connection between the wings and the fuselage of all bombers is the biggest name. Imagine that in this era, large bombers in various countries are generally stored with folded wings, and the fuselage and wings themselves are active, which will inevitably result in insufficient structural strength. , And there is no such thing as a wing box to strengthen the structure in this era, so this place is often the most vulnerable. Only a few bullets from top to bottom can cause a wound that is difficult to repair, and then the wing itself is huge Under the influence of gravity this plane will break by itself! However, now, Lieutenant Holland is just right at this best kill point! After hesitating, he slightly pressed the nose, a K6 bomber separated from the middle of the scope, and then quickly covered a K8 bomber in the middle!
At a distance of 400 meters, Ensign Holland has 5 seconds of shooting time! Hundreds of bullets flew towards the target with the howling of death! An elliptical drop zone was formed. Several wing planks were shattered by fierce firepower. As the aircraft moved, the flying fire snake slanted across the upper part of the K8 bomber. Finally, the intensive attack pointed directly. The connection between the wing and the body!
Along with the bullet hitting the joints of the wings, a series of sparks were shot out. Accompanied by the sound of metal collision and chipping, the behemoth below shook twice, and even the height of the aircraft dropped a little. Holland was certain. This guy is already injured! But what surprised him was that after being hit by such a dense large-caliber bullet, the wing of this K8 bomber was not interrupted? ! Not only is there no break, but there is no bullet hole through it!
"Fuck, what's the situation?!" Horan looked at the target below in surprise, only to see the black metallic luster glowing at the joints of the wings.
"The Germans actually added armor to the roots of the wings?!" Holland was really stunned. He really did not expect the Germans to be so frantic in pursuing defense! In the end, Holland could only watch the bomber leave the battlefield under the cover of several fighters after throwing away its load, and there was nothing to do!
