Chapter 1112 Blood Spilled in the Sky
"Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen so many fighter jets participating in the interception." Boeing looked around. It was full of aircraft. Four squadrons were distributed in the surrounding airspace, like a thick wall.
It blocked the only way for the opponent's attack. In addition, there were aircraft from other squadrons around, but judging from the painting, these fighter jets should come from other theaters or other countries.
"I can already see Florence. There is a group of flies in front of me. They should be the last group. If we rush over, we will win." While Bodenton was thinking wildly, Grim was also assessing the situation on both sides. The other party was still prepared.
Yes, while the Allies were adjusting, the Entente had also been strengthened. They were intercepted by various interceptions along the way, and the Windtalker brigade that had been responsible for the interception also suffered heavy losses.
So far, the number of aircraft that have been shot down, forced to land, and forced to return has accounted for about 40% of the entire brigade. At this time, the Roaring Griffin and Lightning brigade responsible for the two wings have also lost 30% of the aircraft. This last interception must be carried out by oneself.
.How strategic bombers can break through the opponent's defense line when the escort force is insufficient is a question that Grimm has been studying, and today, it is time to test his research results.
"I will never forget the scene when I intercepted a strategic bomber for the first time. First, a black dot as big as a sesame seed flew from a distance, and then it quickly grew larger as the distance got closer. These vultures of the German Empire
Spreading huge wings and forming a tight formation
, pressed over like a wall. They did not dodge or hesitate in the face of our volley. They smashed over like a war hammer! There is a saying in China that a big sword has no edge. This may be how they are described.
." Bodenton wrote in his memoirs after the war.
"These things are so big! It's not easy to make such a huge thing fly into the air." After many previous interceptions, the number of fighter jets in the German fleet has been seriously reduced. However, under the control of friendly forces.
The remaining German fighter jets cannot pose a threat to the four assault squadrons. The Americans still don't know what terrible things are waiting for them. At this time, they can still talk and laugh and set a goal for themselves. Let's see if they can finish the results today.
Become an ace pilot!
The Skeleton Squadron flew past these huge bombers from above. The opponent began to lower its altitude, possibly in preparation for the bombing. The P26 fighter jet flew over the flock of geese like a sparrow, and after entering the rear hemisphere of the opponent's fleet,
,
The Skeleton Squadron began to divide into four groups to attack, "Bodonton. I'll cover you, and I hope you become the new ace!" At this time, the wingman's voice appeared in Bodonton's ears. The opponent flew very slowly and didn't know how to dodge.
What a perfect goal!
"Follow me!" After Boeing's order was given, the four fighter jets began to dive. "Before this, we had always thought that we were hungry wolves that pounced on the sheep, but we soon learned that the other side was a group of people with a net waiting for them.
Spiders, and we are those moths who overestimate their capabilities!" Boedon quickly realized this massacre. A massacre of bombers against fighter jets! They were the first victims!
"Oh God!" Just when Bodenton's fleet approached about 700 meters, the four three-machine formations below simultaneously erupted into hot tongues of flame, and tracer bullets and armor-piercing bullets alternately spurted out from the 13mm machine guns (usually
Armor-piercing bullets and tracer bullets are placed alternately on the bullet chain.) Dozens of tongues of flames shoot at the diving American fighter jets, do1
There is a machine gun turret with twin 13mm machine guns on the tail of the Type 1 heavy bomber, and a machine gun turret on the upper part of the fuselage. There is also a machine gun on each side of the fuselage. In this way, an aircraft can have 6 machine guns for shooting at targets above.
!The Americans have never encountered such intensive interception firepower. The opponent's concentrated fire from a distance of several hundred meters instantly defeated the American fleet!
The whistling sound of bullets and the shattering sound of the aircraft body came from a distance from time to time. Tracer bullets like locusts hit the aircraft next to them one after another. It only took a few seconds for a P26 fighter jet to be torn into pieces by the fierce firepower.
There were fragments. Boden subconsciously turned to the left and fired a string of bullets. 3
The bullets of the M2 machine gun are flying in the air. Imagine a DO11 heavy bomber diagonally below. The collision between the bullets and the metal skin produces sparks. Holes appear on the upper part of the fuselage, but this kind of attack seems unlikely to the behemoth below.
It’s nothing! The opponent’s machine gun tower is still spitting out tongues of flame.
The fighter's attack window was very short, and Bodenton finally had to give up the attack. "You're so lucky, kid!" Bodenton knew that his wingman would definitely continue to attack. He had fired more than 300 rounds just now, and his brothers behind him should be able to do it.
Beat this down
Big guy, Boden said in his heart. Boden quickly flew down. The sound of bullets streaking through the air came from behind. Bullets were fired from behind. The plane was hit from time to time. Fortunately, the P26 was relatively strong.
Individual bullets that hit cannot cause much damage.
But his wingman was not so lucky. The aircraft was preparing to flee the battlefield after the attack failed, but it was already surrounded by the opponent. Bullets were fired from above, below, left and right. No matter how skilled the pilot was, he could not
Escape from this hell of bullets. A bullet was fired from the back of the seat, piercing the thin steel plate behind it and completely shearing off the young pilot's upper body. Then the plane lost control and plummeted to the ground.
"They're all dead?!" After exactly 2 minutes, Bodenton suddenly found that none of the other three planes that came with him had followed him. In other words, in the first round of attack just now, in just a few minutes,
Three comrades were swallowed by these huge guys! "God, what is going on?"
At this time, scenes like this appeared everywhere on the battlefield. Four squadrons of American fighter jets rushed into a box flying formation composed of 160 heavy bombers. These fighter jets were like moths throwing themselves into fire, heading towards death with the hope of victory.
The fire net formed by intertwined bullets covered almost all the combat airspace.
In this area, the determining factor of whether a pilot can survive at this time is not the quality of flight performance or personal skills, but depends more on your luck. Maybe there are only a few machine guns aimed at you, and there is still a chance to escape, but if
If you are targeted by more than a dozen machine guns at the same time, you can only pray to God.
American fighter jets that enter in small groups are often divided by intensive firepower as soon as they launch an attack. The smarter veterans can still survive on the edge of the fire net, but the unluckier ones may only see a flaming red in front of them and then know nothing. The United States
People are also trying their best to fight back, but unfortunately it is difficult for two or even three aircraft to shoot down a bomber at the same time. (I once saw a table on the side, which mentioned the requirements of various caliber cannons.
The damage effect looks like the same
The damage effect of one mg15120 cannon can be equal to that of four M2 machine guns. Although the M2 is very accurate, its power is too small. Of course, in history, the Axis powers did not have so many sturdy aircraft for the Americans to shoot.) 50 caliber
of
The machine guns punched holes in the bomber's body. Except for a few bombers that were really unlucky and were destroyed because their fuel tanks were blown or too many bullets were hit, most of the bombers successfully broke through the opponent's defenses.
.
Continuous explosions sounded in the air from time to time, and P26s were either blown up or fell to the ground dragging flames. The "black cloud" composed of DO11 heavy bombers continued to approach the target, and four squadrons of American fighter jets
The interception could not delay the opponent at all. The red-eyed Boeing once again
Rushing towards a German bomber, the protruding flames of the three machine guns were like whips lashing out at the outermost bomber. Sparks were constantly beating from the muzzle, and the shells fell like raindrops. The dense rain of bullets successfully destroyed the outside of the aircraft.
One engine was destroyed and thick smoke began to fill the engine compartment, but it still persisted.
"Garbage, get down quickly!" The furious Boeing kept pulling the trigger. The dense rain of bullets then began to spread from the engine compartment to the fuselage, and some places even started to catch fire. However, because the power was too small, these flames
It was quickly extinguished. The opponent's altitude began to drop and broke away from the formation. Bodenton finally found an opportunity, but at this time, the three machine guns of the P26 stopped roaring, and a full 1,500 rounds of ammunition were fired, but still could not
Finally destroyed a plane!
"Damn guy, damn machine gun!" At this time, Bodenton hated the weapon in his hand for the first time, although before that, the m2 machine gun had allowed him to achieve a series of achievements. But when facing heavy aircraft, this kind of
The weapon was actually so weak. The opportunity to fire that the American pilots had paid for with their blood and lives was wasted by the weak weapon.
The air battle lasted for more than half an hour, and the American defense line finally collapsed. The Lancer bombers continued to advance. At this time, Boeing suddenly found that his squadron was missing. Except for a few aircraft flying to other airports,
Botonton is already in this airspace
I can't find my teammates. I can see balls of flames on the ground, which should be caused by the explosion of the destroyed aircraft. "Maybe my teammates have already evacuated and want to maintain their formation in such a chaotic situation."
There's no chance." Bowington murmured to himself.
Almost at the same time, a terrible thought popped out of his mind, "I won't be the only remaining member of the Skeleton Squadron?!" Thinking of this, Boeing couldn't help but shudder.
Chapter completed!
