Chapter 692 The bomber's nightmare
In front, you could already hear the unique rumble from the other party's bomber. At this time, the other party still knew nothing.
If it was during the day, the other party might find the fighter jets following behind, but now it is dark at night.
The night provided good cover, making the British think they were well hidden, and they didn't know that their every move was watched by the Germans.
At the same time, the Blenheim bomber was just a medium bomber, with three crew members, above the nose was the driver, below was the bomber, and there was another person in the turret on the back of the aircraft.
They can see their upper and front hemispheres, but what comes from behind is a completely blind spot area.
So, when the German night fighter jets slowly approached, the British did not notice it at all. At this time, they were performing the final calibration direction, hoping that they could successfully discover Paris and then bomb.
In the Geneva Convention, bombing of civilians is prohibited, but Germany has broken this rule. Since Germany can bomb London, the British capital, regardless of civilian casualties, why should Britain abide by such a damn tyrannical convention?
Bomb Paris!
If there were infrared night vision devices in this era, you could see such a scene. On top of it was the British bomber, and directly below the bomber, German skilled pilots had already drilled into their abdomen.
Yes, the German pilots, relying on their eyes, got under them when they could collide at any time!
The fighter jets were all ready.
"Start the oblique music system." Werner shouted loudly.
The button was pressed, and a device suddenly rose up in the middle of the fuselage of the he219 night fighter.
From the outside, you can only see two gun barrels, which are very thick, and it is a 30mm mk108 machine cannon!
These two cannons are arranged diagonally upward at a 65-degree angle, with 100 rounds of ammunition per door. This device is also a nemesis tailor-made for the enemy's bomber troops!
You should know that the contest between bombers and fighter jets has always existed, especially in the late World War II when huge cargoes appeared like B-29s appeared. They were simply flying fortresses in the air, and they could shoot in almost all directions. It was difficult to attack from the side and above.
However, no matter what kind of aircraft, there are always shooting dead ends below. You should know that it is difficult to deploy a lower turret, and it is even more impossible to arrange multiple ones.
Like now, the British bombers had almost nothing on the belly, and were completely the most vulnerable to attack.
Therefore, at the suggestion of Cialek, German technicians developed this oblique music system that specializes in attacking the opponent's belly! They directly use a 30mm cannon! You must know that this type of cannon can even penetrate the tank top cover, and even if the opponent's bomber is protected by armor, it will completely blow the opponent away!
Now, this is the first time this system is used!
"Note that you are about to count down and prepare to fire and slow down and turn." Werner continued to issue orders inside the radio.
"Three, two, one, fire!"
Open fire!
The moment the command was issued, each captain pressed his fingers hard on the red button of the operating rod.
"Bangbang!" The 30mm shell poured out from the oblique music system on the back of the aircraft and directly hit the fragile belly of the British bomber above!
Ten night fighters aimed at ten targets. At this time, they opened fire together, and the dark night sky was lit up in an instant!
It was not until this time that the British discovered that they had been attacked!
What's going on? Hod looked out from his porthole nervously. From here, he happened to see a bomber on his right, turning into a fireball in the air!
Attack, German fighter jets attacked! At this moment, he immediately understood.
If it is an anti-aircraft gun on the ground, it will not be able to fire accurately without a searchlight. Now, the opponent is shooting accurately and very well, it must be a fighter!
Damn, how did the other party discover himself?
His thoughts ended here. Almost at the same time, a huge noise came from his fuselage, and a wave of heat swept through the middle of the fuselage!
The 30mm machine cannon directly knocked the British fighter jets to the sky!
The sky was filled with brilliant fireworks, and the scene was extremely exciting.
Unfortunately, at this time, no one paid attention to such a scene in the night fighter unit. For them, danger had just arrived.
Attacking from the belly of the machine is their best choice, with the highest success rate. After all, it is either the belly of the machine or the back. If you attack from the back, the projection area of the opponent will be small. Once it fails, the opponent will definitely make a move to get rid of it.
And attacking under the belly of the machine is definitely a killing skill.
However, when the opponent is blown up, the attacking fighter plane is in great danger.
The bomber that was shot down must have fallen down, so if the fighter below does not make the modified actions in time, it will be smashed directly!
Almost as the fire was opened, the pilot began to skillfully get rid of the movements.
Push the engine's throttle to the front, at the slowest speed, and the aircraft's speed dropped as soon as possible. Then, press the rod, throttle, and the fighter began to turn sideways to the right.
They cannot dive. After many drills, they feel that dive is more dangerous. If the enemy bomber falls, they cannot get rid of dive. What's even more terrifying is that since it is night, they cannot see the earth. If they don't pay attention to the instrument, they may dive directly to the ground!
The performance of the aircraft cannot be taken into account. The he219 pays too much attention to high-speed performance, which leads to insufficient steering capabilities. Even if the vertical tail rudder surface is doubled, it still has the defect of insufficient steering.
For example now.
A bomber turned into a fireball and fell downwards. Below it, the he219 fighter was rolling rapidly.
Even so, because it fell too fast, it almost rubbed against the bomber's fireball to get rid of it.
The pilot's face turned pale. Just now, he was a little in love with the fight. He should have done a move while firing, but he waited for two seconds and shot dozens of 30mm shells before he got rid of them. In this way, he almost died!
Fireballs in the sky were shining, and the remaining British bombers were anxious.
"Hurry, hurry, throw away the bomb!" A captain said anxiously. Now, there are explosions around. Their bomber troops are bound to be finished. They are ambushed!
Only by throwing away the bomb and reducing the weight can they escape.
The bomb dropper in front was also very anxious. No matter where it was below, open the bomb bay and let the bomb fall down.
