Chapter 738： Playing balloons

The Stuka bombers were all fighting over Dover, while in Plymouth, they were all hs129s coming from across the strait!

This kind of aircraft, compared to Stuka, is the most important thing to have adequate armor protection. As a sweeper, with bath armor, it has the strongest survivability in ground artillery fire.

At the same time, the previous aircraft, limited by the engine, could only use the domestic 700-horsepower backward engine, resulting in a lack of power. All this changed after the defeat of France.

Various industries in France, including the aviation industry, have been inherited by Germany. German technicians have turned out the "Spain-Swiss" 12y31 engine from France. This French-made engine can output 860 horsepower, which is better than the original The 700 horsepower engine is a bit higher.

At the same time, German technicians used their own technology to improve the unreliable heat dissipation system of this engine to increase the output power, so that this engine can stably output 920 horsepower, although it cannot match the Navy’s 1200 horsepower. Compared with the engine, it is much easier to use than the original one.

The increase in power makes this aircraft easier to fly, maneuverability has been improved, and at the same time, the bomb load has also been greatly improved.

In the past, only 12 rounds of the 40mm cannon shells could be carried, which must be used with caution, but now, the shells of this kind of aircraft cannon has been expanded to 120 rounds!

At this time, in the cabin, Captain Weber was driving his own fighter enthusiastically. They had prepared for this attack for a long time. Everyone knew the target he was going to attack by heart!

Captain Weber's target was the large number of low-altitude air defense **** near the headquarters of Plymouth Base!

In this era, there are many methods for air defense. Fighters can be deployed to intercept, ground artillery can also be used, and in key areas, balloons can also be used.

This is the weapon that makes the attackers speechless, it's a bit shameless!

Most of the balloons used in the UK are 62-foot-long 25-foot-diameter low-altitude interceptor balloons.

Each balloon can be filled with 19,000 cubic feet of hydrogen, and its maximum lift-off height is usually up to 1,500 meters.

In order to protect vulnerable locations from low-flying aircraft and dive bombers, balloons will be randomly scattered and deployed over potential targets that may be attacked.

Many planes need low-altitude bombing to increase their hit rate. Now, once they fly at low altitude, it is easy to hit the balloon cable.

Although the balloon is very big, the cable that hangs the balloon is so thin that it is almost difficult for the pilot to see it with the naked eye.

When the rope is hung, the cutting chains at both ends of the rope will separate the rope. So the plane continued flying with the main part of the cable about a mile long. The end of the cable is fixed by a floating canvas parachute with a diameter of about 2.44 meters.

This thing is quite a deceleration parachute, the plane will fully open it soon, and this parachute can generate a combined pull force about 6 times the thrust of the bomber engine.

It was as if it had hit something suddenly, and the umbrella behind opened shudderingly, the plane stopped almost immediately, and the result was that it fell from the air.

After the cable is disconnected from the balloon, a line connected to the balloon can pull a huge patch on the balloon apart. This way the hydrogen can be released and the balloon will slowly descend to the ground. In this way, the balloon can be reused, which is too ironic.

For the assigned task, Captain Weber is quite speechless. He prefers to play something valuable, such as the anti-aircraft artillery positions on the ground, etc., but now, he must obey orders as his bounden duty.

He drove his attack aircraft, flying 1,500 meters above the base, and soon he saw the big air-proof balloons on the opposite side. At this time, the balloons were drifting in the wind.

Aligned his sight with the opponent's balloon, and the 40mm Bofors cannon hung from the belly of the aircraft underneath, also rotated, and then he pressed the red button.

"Hum!" The recoil of the 40mm cannon is quite strong when it fires. This recoil even made this powerful attack aircraft tremble.

The 40mm incendiary bomb easily smashed the balloon in front, and then a huge flame appeared in the sky.

Once, the airship was glorious for a long time, and then it fell. The hydrogen filled in it could easily explode!

There was nothing good about this flame, he turned his muzzle, and then hit the second balloon.

In the sky, the blossoming red fireworks also look a bit gorgeous.

This is simply the most boring target shooting task!

When the last air defense ball was knocked out, he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted on the radio: "Airspace No. 8 has been cleared and can be bombed."

As soon as he finished shouting, he saw that around him, black flowers appeared, they were artillery shells!

It's simply great, there really are antiaircraft artillery positions below!

"Found the anti-aircraft artillery position and dived and attacked." Captain Weber shouted in the radio. He had just hit these balloons and only used less than 20 shells, and hundreds of them!

British I am coming!

The engines on both sides were rotating at high speed, the nose was down, and Captain Weber’s attack aircraft began to dive down. Soon, he saw an antiaircraft gun inside the round sandbag fortification on the ground, moving at a high elevation angle. Way, fire at yourself!

That antiaircraft gun is the same Bofors antiaircraft gun. This is simply a showdown of the same weapon!

If there is a whistle like Stuka at this time, the sound will be very loud, because its dive has exceeded 500 kilometers per hour! At this speed, the shells from the opponent could not hit at all!

In the field of vision, the anti-aircraft artillery position was getting bigger and bigger. It accurately trapped the opponent and adjusted the gun to the burst mode. Captain Weber pressed the button.

"Tom tom, tom tom tom." The 40mm Bofors cannon under the belly of the plane was constantly beeping, one after another, one after another, shooting down!

"Boom!" The first shell hit the soldier who was pulling the shell on the side, almost from the head, the brain was smashed in an instant, and then, the upper half of the body was all exploded!

The second shell hit the open space next to it, and the whole ground seemed to tremble!

The third shell entered the muzzle of the Bofors artillery even more magically!

"Boom!" At this time, in the barrel, a shell was fired, and the two shells met in the barrel. In an instant, a huge explosion sounded, and the entire barrel was blown into two pieces!

Countless fragments flew horizontally, and the surrounding soldiers fell screaming!

When pulled up, Captain Weber was not very satisfied. He leveled the plane and started shooting frantically at the small building in front.

The sweeper does this.
