1427 Fatal Strike 2

"Hurry away, dive, fly away! They are above our back!" A clever British pilot shouted loudly to his comrades beside him, while flying the plane to dive and accelerate the evacuation. At this time, you must not climb, because climbing will reduce the speed and then send yourself to the other party's muzzle. You must not do complex horizontal maneuvers, because the height here is a bit low, the maneuvering reduces the speed, and the ground terrain is relatively complex and easy to hit. The Camel F1 has a good speed in this era, so they plan to rely on dive acceleration to escape from the pursuit.

However, this time, they encountered the J-3 fighter, which is famous for its speed. This new fighter with a more powerful engine can easily catch up with the opponent!

The German attacks were very rhythmic. When the first round of attacks ended, the German fighter jets that lost some energy did not blindly pursue, but chose to maintain altitude and speed and restore energy. The fleeing aircraft were left to another group! The array of German fighters took turns to attack British fighters in the air, and a series of shells followed the British like shadows. Tracer bombs shuttled through the air, intertwining into a dense fire net!

Even if some British fighters escaped the pursuit by chance, their remaining fuel was definitely not enough to counterattack! After clearing the threat from the sky, more than a dozen German fighters and bombers began to enter low altitudes and attack the unprepared airport!

The first thing that was taken care of was naturally the aircraft and auxiliary vehicles on the side of the apron. Two k-4m Tracer fighters used 20mm machine guns and large-caliber machine guns to suppress the poor machine guns and 40mm guns near British airports. And the six k-6 bombers were divided into two groups to launch air strikes!

Three K-6 bombers quickly passed over the battlefield. In less than 3 seconds, as many as 30 50kg bombs fell from a height of 200 meters, like seeds. Small bombs fell between the piled fighter planes and vehicles. As the plane moved, loud noises rang throughout the airport, and flames rose one after another. Countless debris swept across the entire airport under the impact of the explosive explosion. In this area without any cover, planes were instantly torn to pieces by the violent explosion.

What's even more tragic is that three refueling vehicles loaded with 700kg of highly volatile gasoline were ignited. In an instant, a huge fireball rose into the air. This was much more powerful than a solidified incendiary bomb. The flames, like magma, quickly spread around. Red and bright yellow flames instantly enveloped the entire shutdown area. All aircraft, vehicles and equipment were ignited by the flames, and continuous explosions came from the battlefield filled with smoke. According to the memories of the German pilots present, they circled over the airport for a full 45 minutes, and did not see a living person leaving the fire...

"The results of today's battle seem surprisingly good. It seems that we don't need to take action." A bomber pilot said, looking at the sea of ​​fire, which was still bursting out.

"How could it be? There are also ground facilities in the woods over there." Another crew member said.

"But we can't see clearly."

"It doesn't matter, just use incendiary bombs to burn this woods!" said the pilot who was responsible for dropping the bomb easily. So, in addition to continuing to attack the other three bombers on the exposed runway, the remaining six bombers flew towards the ground facilities covered by the jungle.

A series of napalm bombs fell from the air, and dazzling sparks bloomed in the jungle. The highly combustible napalm fell on the trees, easily igniting a large jungle and the ground facilities therein. After more than ten minutes, the Germans in the sky could easily see several torch-like tube buildings in a burning forest. As for the tents and wooden buildings next to them, they had long turned into ashes with the woods!

After most bombers dropped the bombs, several fighter jets were still unsatisfied with machine guns and machine guns to strafuse the ground over and over again. When the other two bombers dived again, they threw a large number of mines around the runway of the airport. The weight was only a few hundred grams, but the huge number of mines was not very powerful, but they were definitely enough to break a soldier's leg. According to the research of the German General Staff, the impact of a soldier on the enemy after being crippled is better than killing the enemy directly with a gun, because the latter died and the former needed to be brought to the rear by other soldiers, medical treatment, and elderly care... and these mines also have an important use, which is to delay the British airport repair time.

In the subsequent hunting activities, the Luftwaffe used tracking and radio sideways to find at least 6 British field airports. Unpredictable, a large number of aircraft and pilots died in sneak attacks. It has to be said that such sneak attacks are much more efficient than regular air combat. According to the report of the Luftwaffe, in the battle of raiding six airports, at least 85 fighter jets were destroyed on the ground, causing at least 2,000 casualties. Even the British report after the war admitted that in this air raid, the British fighter troops lost at least 70 aircraft, and the battle reports of both sides were quite consistent!

In addition to sneak attacks, the Luftwaffe also carried out a tentative air strike on large British airports. However, for such airports, the British were also very strict in defense. They set up independent air guard posts outside the airport, and there was always a squadron or so on standby in the airport. So if you want to sneak attacks, in addition to your own technology, it also depends on luck... The infrastructure and air defense firepower around the airport also made the Bavarian Legion feel tricky.

These large airports are different from those temporary field airports. All flammable and explosive items such as ammunition, oil and other flammable and explosive items are placed deep in the semi-buried bunker of reinforced concrete. There are 3 shells in the airport and 1 backup runway for fighter jets to take off. The aircraft are scattered and there are special aircraft repair shops. A large number of anti-aircraft artillery are deployed around and above the airport, ranging from 75mm to 7.62mm machine guns. The worst thing is that the British also deployed some smoke devices. When they found that German planes came, they had at least the chance to hide some of the planes in the smoke screen.

Therefore, the Germans found that the target cost of such a key fortification was quite high, and it was not realistic to defeat the British Air Force in one fell swoop in a short period of time, so this air strike was just a point.
