1046 Ilya Muromets 2
However, not everyone has Sikorsky's self-knowledge, and not all aircraft immediately discovered the German fighter troops entering the battlefield. After all, in this era, search is basically based on attention, and communication is basically based on yelling. Although it is logical that if bombers of the Ilia Murrometz level in the Luftwaffe were at least radio, isn't this in Russia? Russian electronic equipment was a scam until the Cold War. So when German aircraft entered the field, even if some "spaceships" appeared, they could not effectively convey the information. Sikorsky was smart and flashed first, but others might not be so lucky!&1t;/p>
So a fierce air battle was launched compared to both sides. There were as many German fighters that entered the battlefield in 6, while there were about 9 Russian bombers left on the battlefield. Like lions and elephants, the lions attacked the elephants.&1t;/p>
&1t;/p>
"This seems to be different from what we encountered before. Even on the Western Front, have we ever encountered such a big thing?" Gorin pulled up his windshield and carefully observed the huge thing below. This thing was not moving fast. Gorin estimated that his j-1c fighter was at least 60% faster than the opponent. This can be seen from the pursuit just now. But he could not underestimate this guy, because it was too large, and it even showed that Gorin knew it. There were machine guns on it. This thing was the most direct threat!&1t;/p>
"Let's go from behind first!" Goring's plane rolled down and dived down, and the other three planes quickly followed. With the dive, the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, 8oo meters, 7oo meters, and 6oo meters. When it finally approached 5oo meters, the machine gun located at the rear and side of the Murometz bomber's body began to fire!&1t;/p>
Four fire snakes were flying in the air, and bullets drew arcs in the air to drive away the approaching German fighter jets. A j-1c was forced back by fierce self-defense firepower and had to give up the attack. The attack from the other direction was also attacked by side machine guns. Several bullets accurately hit the upper wing of the aircraft, tearing off a small corner of the wing.&1t;/p>
Under the cover of his teammates, Goring finally leaned forward with his high skills. "Damn it, bastard!" Like a knight challenging a dragon, Goring aimed a 12.7mm machine gun and a 7.92mm machine gun on the nose of the aircraft at the target. As Goring pressed the machine gun on the handle, the nose of the j-1c fighter was instantly covered by flames, and a series of 12.7mm bullets and 7.92mm bullets flew towards the behemoth in the distance like locusts.&1t;/p>
The first hit was the 7.92mm machine gun bullet. A string of bullets cut a string of bullet holes on the huge body was useless. The bullet was too small, and Murometz was too big! The only thing that caused certain damage was the reliable 12.7mm machine gun. The 5o caliber inflammable bomb not only knocked out the huge tail half, but also left a huge crack on the slender body. Even hundreds of meters away, you can see this wound that kept spraying flames and thick smoke.&1t;/p>
"I'll go!" However, before Golin could be proud, his plane suddenly shook suddenly, and it seemed that something had hit. The floor below seemed to feel chill. When Golin looked down, he found that the floor of his plane had been lifted off at some point, and a huge hole appeared under his feet. When he thought of this, he felt a chill directly from his tailbone to his forehead! What's even more tragic is that the landing gear of this plane was also knocked off at some point. For Golin, the best result was to return to his control area and parachuted.&1t;/p>
After Goring's team launched an unsuccessful attack, Richterhoven, known as the Red Baron, also brought his squadron to kill in! This time, they targeted a "spaceship" that was withdrawing from the battlefield!&1t;/p>
"We attack their wings, fight from above, don't come from behind!" After carefully looking at the giants on the opposite side, the Red Baron was the first to enter the battle like David challenging Goliath! The red j-1c fighter quickly entered from the sky, and then when the horizontal distance was 120 meters away from the Murometz fighter, the Red Baron pressed the operating rod, and the j-1c aircraft dived down like a swift. Unlike most people, the Red Baron's dive line was a dive line. It flew obliquely over the Russian bomber.&1t;/p>
The Russians seemed to have seen a German fighter jet that appeared above their heads, and several machine guns were ready to shoot upwards. Unfortunately, because the shooting angle was insufficient, they could only see a bullet flying past under the German plane. When the popular Baron approached the wings of the Russian bomber, two jumping fire snakes left two deep scars on the wings of the Murometz bomber!&1t;/p>
Unlike fuselages supported by reinforcement and support structures, the wings of the aircraft are always fragile, especially in the first battle. The aircraft's wings are too long and the huge wing area is not only easy to be hit, but the wing strength cannot be very high. Even a 7.92mm machine gun can cause certain damage.&1t;/p>
Like an exquisite assassin, Richterhofen's attack was like using a short sharp dagger to pass through the connection between the dragon's wings and body. The so-called dragon's reverse scale is here! At the opponent's most deadly place, even the huge Murometz bomber could not bear it!&1t;/p>
The large wings were destroyed by high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs or stripped from the aircraft. After a flyby attack, nearly half of the upper left wing of the bomber was directly killed! The wooden wings ignited by the incendiary bombs were burning, and the crackling sounds and black smoke left a long trace as the plane flew. With just one attack, the plane had reached the verge of being destroyed!&1t;/p>
The biggest advantage of having a good captain is that it can follow the example. Then the fighter jets of the Red Baron Squad began to dive from the air at a larger angle and attack from the Russian bomber. Unfortunately, not everyone has the quality and level of the Red Baron. This attack tests the grasp of shooting time. The chance of firing may only take a few seconds, and the approximate landing point of the ballistic is also required. After all, the sights of this era are poor. After four aircraft attacked one after another, the Murometz bomber was still flying in the air.&1t;/p>
The plane's body was covered with bullet holes, but the machine guns that were still available were still shooting, and it also shot down a j-1c fighter that could not escape. It was like a giant beast before death, and was crazy about venting its deadly firepower around!&1t;/p>
