Chapter 1289: The Long Sword Across the Dawn 2

At the airport, BF109 fighter jets try to take off under the cover of anti-aircraft guns, but they often just climb to an altitude of 2,500 meters and are caught by Foxbat fighter jets diving down from 3,000 meters as soon as they leave the effective range of the anti-aircraft guns!

The climbing German aircraft simply did not have enough kinetic energy to escape from horizontal maneuvers.

Such an excellent opponent was directly turned into a ball of fire by the three 20mm cannons on the opponent's nose. This advantageous attack made the Chinese pilots very useful, but unfortunately this situation did not last long.

When the aircraft fleet attacking the airport had just arrived, the black spot that appeared from the northwest made Zhao Yuanzhen's heart skip a beat!

"Didn't the intelligence department say that there is no other airport nearby? Where did these guys come from?" The plane responsible for peripheral security spotted the opponent immediately, and a Foxbat fighter jet hidden in the clouds recognized the person.

At least 20 BF109 fighter jets were flying towards the target. After this alert was sent to Zhao Yuanzhen, his first reaction was that there was something wrong with the intelligence.

In fact, there was indeed something wrong with the intelligence department this time, but Zhao Yuanzhen's guess was also wrong. These planes did not take off from surrounding airports to rescue Mosul, but were planes transiting from Asia Minor. If Zhao Yuanzhen and the others come again,

If it had been later, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. "Immediately

Launch the attack, and we will leave after the fight!" After calculating the arrival time of the opponent, it was about 10 minutes. Zhao Yuanzhen did not want to waste the precious guided bombs like this. Under his command, the two attack groups attacked the airport.

The tower launched an attack on the apron, hangar and suspected fuel warehouse.

The bombs dropped by the eight bombers were not dense, but the Germans saw that the attack accuracy was unusually high. 10 of the 24 high-explosive bombs and cluster bombs accurately landed on the top of the target, and one of the letter bombs directly hit the target.

The eight aircraft on the tarmac were blown into a pile of scrap metal. The other two bombs completely destroyed an underground bunker.

There are no flammable and explosive materials such as aviation gasoline. However, there are hundreds of various aviation engines and their accessories! Looking at a few smoke columns rising from the airport, the German people are bleeding. Although the scene is not big, the losses are real.

It’s heartbreaking! The crew that completed the attack began to evacuate, and what stood in front of them was about a squadron of BF109 fighter jets.

"Afterburner to break away, the opponent cannot pursue at high speed for a long time!" Zhao Yuanzhen gathered the attack formation while arranging for evacuation. The Porcupine bomber, which threw away its load and was only half-fuelled, could fly better than the normal envelope. (Generally speaking,

It is said that the best envelope of a bomber is full of fuel and no bombs.) Under the powerful horsepower of two high-power air-cooled engines, the entire fleet evacuated toward the southeast.

The Foxbat fighter jets blocked some enemy aircraft, but in the end, about 10 BF109s penetrated the interception net of the Foxbat fleet and chased after them. Looking at the German aircraft entering from the rear hemisphere, Zhao Yuanzhen was very nervous, but this kind of nervousness

It didn't last long. When a BF109 fighter jet launched an attack, Zhao Yuanzhen felt the fuselage shake slightly, and then... nothing happened.

Two 20mm shells left two fist-sized holes in the fuselage, and then a row of large-caliber machine gun bullets hit the aircraft armor. This blow was nothing to the rough-skinned and thick-bodied Porcupine bomber.

.But for this sneak attack bf109 fighter jet, it is full of

The anger of the machine gun's porcupine was not something it could withstand. The enemy plane ultimately failed to escape the fire net of 50 machine guns, and eventually had half of its wing torn off and fell headlong. In this battle, the bf109 fighter's fragile firepower

And the tragic voyage has once again become an eternal pain in the hearts of the German people.

At the same time that Zhao Yuanzhen's squadron launched its attack, the other three sniper squadrons also launched attacks on other targets such as factories, highway hubs, power plants, and oil refineries. The impact of the not-violent bombing was surprisingly high.

.According to German statistics, there are at least four points

One of the bombs accurately hit the target. Compared with the accuracy of strategic bombing, which only needs to fall within 1 kilometer of the target area to achieve a hit, it can be described as fantasy! The top brass of the Luftwaffe were just intoxicated with the victory over the British air war.

Once again, I was shocked by the opponent's technical superiority.

In addition to the sniper brigade, China also dispatched a large number of Foxbat twin-engine aircraft to attack the Allied transportation troops on the transportation line. "These bats exist to attack our trucks and half-track transport vehicles! No matter in terms of weapons or

The operational arrangements are all like this. Each of these twin-engine aircraft is equipped with two 30mm cannons on the wings. It is also equipped with two sub-munition bombs. Simply use bombs.

The description is not precise, because sometimes they drop landmines. They will drop landmines on the way we advance. Then they will fly over at low altitude and attack our convoy with letter bombs, and then use machine guns to straf the remaining transportation.

Vehicles. Explosive and incendiary shells weighing more than 1 pound rained down on our heads. A truck would be completely destroyed as long as it was hit by a 30mm shell."

"The opponent seems to know the weakness of our air force, and their attacks are extremely patient. They usually form a combat formation of 12 to 16 aircraft, and then a group of 3 to 4 aircraft. They take turns to attack the convoy.

Like a wheel, it gradually crushes the entire transport unit. The duration of this attack

Generally, it will take more than half an hour, when the opponent's plane is hovering in the sky, and you will realize what a life is like! Unless the entire convoy is wiped out or they use up all their ammunition, this attack will not stop.

"After the war, a German transport force second lieutenant recalled that he called this attack the Wheel of Death.

The sniper brigade and Foxbat fighter force had a huge impact on the German transportation system. In just a few days, the amount of materials obtained by the German frontline troops dropped by 30%, and the integrity rate of the cars dropped even further.

It was about 40%! Although the Germans used spare trucks and transport troops afterwards, it was a pity that it was still high.

The constant battle losses made the Germans' remedial actions meaningless. In desperation, the Germans could only increase the intensity of night transportation to make up for the losses during the day. The efficiency of night transportation was obviously better than that during the day. This transportation problem

The problem was not obvious at the beginning of the war. As the battle progressed, the impact of material shortages became more and more serious!

Maybe someone wants to ask at this time. What is the German Air Force doing? How to put it? The actual situation is that the German Aviation Administration that participated in Operation Sky Garden is taking a rest. Putting aside other troops that are not on the surrounding battlefields, the front-line troops that can actually be used

It's still quite tense. In terms of the number of fighter jets,

No advantage over China. Moreover, China's interference with the German radar early warning network was relatively successful. The effective detection range of the German radar was severely reduced. Some loopholes inevitably appeared. And China's attacks mainly targeted convoys on traffic lines.

The goal is very arbitrary. Foxbat style

Fighters can rely on the super long range provided by 250 gallons of internal fuel and 180 gallons of auxiliary fuel tanks to slowly search for targets. But is the bf109 good? The low-speed patrol of the bf109 with a 66-gallon auxiliary fuel tank and more than 300 liters of internal fuel is not bad.

, but once you get involved with the other party

If you are fighting, or cruising at high speed, the fuel gauge will drop! The range of the bf110 is sufficient, but once it encounters, the Foxbat fighter can just throw away the load and deal with the bf110! Whether it is climb, speed or horizontal maneuvering

In terms of sex, bf110 is not as good as the opponent!

"If we only look at the performance of the aircraft, the Foxbat fighter was the aircraft with the best overall performance in the Iran War. It was the best choice in terms of flight performance and range." After the war, even the German Air Force recognized the Foxbat.

The performance advantage of the fighter jet. The bf109 can compare with the Spitfire in range. And the early stone fighter

In terms of maneuverability and climb, the Kestrel can crush the F4F in terms of flight performance. But it has no advantage in all aspects except when facing the Foxbat. (It has a slight advantage in climbing at the initial altitude). In the Iran War, the dual-engine long-range

The outstanding performance of fighter jets also indirectly promoted the emergence of the DO335 Arrow aircraft.

Although the German Air Force is not very efficient in intercepting random air attacks on transportation lines, China's attack intensity is not very strong either. The twin-engine fighter jets perform ground-attack missions by catching ducks and using machine guns and missiles.

To use a bomb to deal with weakly protected vehicles such as trucks is to find a weak target. As for pilots, it is even more important

They occasionally perform ground attack missions. After all, their training originally focused on air combat. If they used bombs instead of machine guns, their results would be very miserable. For targets that are tightly defended and require sufficient projection to be effective,

, China did not take any action. In short, this attack was a tactical attack on the frontline troops.

China formulated a limited strike plan to attack the opponent's most vulnerable areas at the minimum cost. Although the loss of a large number of transport vehicles and the attack on transportation hubs did not put the Allied transportation lines into trouble in a short period of time, as the war continued

, the consumption of various means of transportation continued to rise. Finally, the Germans realized that China's attacks were as deadly as slow poison!

"Although the bf109 fighter has the advantages of easy construction, low price, and excellent performance, its disadvantages in range and firepower make it difficult for this fighter to complete some tasks. The range of the bf109 fighter is only stronger than that of the Spitfire

Some are not as good as American fighter jets, not to mention the Chinese Kestrel and Foxbat. The disadvantage in range has caused us to suffer in many air battles. As for firepower? A 20mm cannon and two machine guns.

Firepower in the face of bombers

The effect is very poor. We have also studied mounting additional weapon pods on the wings to solve the firepower problem. But in fact, installing weapons on such a small body will cause extreme deterioration in flight performance, even worse than air combat performance.

The bf110 is not outstanding in the first place. For this reason, we need a fighter with a longer range and a certain firepower without other weapons bays." Many wings mentioned this in the documents sent from the front line.

Dissatisfied with the bf109 fighter jet.

This actually cannot be blamed on the bf109. To be fair, the bf109 is a good fighter both in history and in this dimension. It has achieved the greatest combat effectiveness in the most economical way, and is the most produced fighter in the world and the title of aerial T34.

It’s no joke. But because it is too small, there is not much room for improvement. The too-small fuselage cannot accommodate a two-stage supercharged engine, and the firepower of the bf109 fighter jet has never been comparable.

Good. (Of course, the 6 M2s of the American emperor are just like that, but they are very friendly to novices.) In the end, after the Germans installed an mk108 shaft cannon on the bf109 fighter, the firepower seemed to increase, but combined with the mk108

Due to the miserable trajectory and rate of fire, the bf109 has the firepower to fight bombers, but it is very inconvenient to fight fighter jets. However, due to the limitations of the airframe, if you want to truly solve the problems of poor firepower and too short range, you should just sleep.

Sometimes history is always surprisingly similar. When the bf109 fighter jet could not meet the needs of the German Air Force, the fw190 fighter jet finally made its debut! Of course, because the engine had not yet been finalized, it ultimately failed to catch up with the Iran war, but what came from the test field

The data still makes Air Force senior officials very excited.

"I have never flown such an excellent aircraft. Compared with Messerschmitt's fighter, the gap is like a snail and a rabbit! The top speed of the bf109 is generally 560 to 580 kilometers per hour, and this aircraft

When using the experimental engine, the speed is

It has exceeded 630 kilometers per hour! This aircraft also has excellent instant hovering capabilities and miraculous rolling performance. Just imagine when I fly this aircraft and instantly turn the nose of the aircraft at an incredible speed.

What will happen to them when they are close to their opponents? As for rolling

The performance exceeded everyone's expectations. As long as I can detect the opponent in advance, it is very easy to get rid of the enemy chasing from behind. And when you want to dive to attack the opponent, the powerful roll will also make your attack easier.

The time was greatly shortened. Coupled with the good climb and extremely smooth

With the hand-controlled control system, this is definitely a weapon that surprises and delights people! We will completely suppress all current opponents, whether they are spitfire, flying fox, p39 or stone falcon, they are no match for us!"

Rand once said sincerely in admiration after test flying this aircraft.
