1646 Bloody Battle in the Sky 3

"Wait first, at this time, the British will be unable to hold on. About half of their planes have a very close range and there is not enough time to stagnate, so time is on our side." Although Richterhoven also wants to prove himself in the battle, he is more aware that at this time, whoever attacks first will suffer losses!

If the German bombers act first, the bomber formation will inevitably be disbanded into a squad. The pressure on our own fighter jets to protect the scattered bomber team will be very high, thus giving the British more opportunities. Similarly, if the British attack first, the offensive and defensive momentum will be different. They must first tear open the German fighter defense line, and then forcefully rush to the German bomber box array!

Is this situation a bit similar? It is very similar to the situation when the German interceptor troops faced the escort US bomber troops in World War II. First, the FW190A charger with two large caliber cannon pods and armored fw190a charger needs to climb to about 7,000 meters of US and British bombers. After you climbed up for more than ten minutes and twenty minutes, the first escort bf109 must fight with the p51 and p47 that were waiting for work in the air, and then you can rush to the US bomber group. Moreover, your movements must be fast, otherwise the fuel may not be enough. There is no advantage in time and combat situation. This is the dilemma of the Luftwaffe that year.

(Although the internal oil of the fw190 is not much, it is not too little. Like the Zero Type, it is about 500kg. If the Zero Type 21 fighter remembers correctly, it is 681l internal oil. As for why the Zero Type can fly so far, please, it depends on the cruise speed to see the aircraft range. Fw190 can fly 1,000 kilometers at a high altitude at a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour. Is the Zero Type OK? What is the maximum speed of the egg in the same era? Of course, in terms of design, eggs are also more suitable for long ranges. If the speed is reduced, the cruising speed from 450 to 500 to less than 350, the range of the fw190 will also be extended a lot. But unfortunately, in European air combat, both sides play high-altitude high-speed. In the fierce air combat, the fuel consumption is very fast.)

"The French are coming!" A German machine gunner pointed to the French fighter group that appeared in front of him. The front was a dh9a ​​aircraft of at least 1 and a half, and on both wings were shields provided by Newport 12 and camel fighters. The fighters on both sides bravely met the German j-3 fighter jets. The dh9a ​​fighter jets equipped with at least 3 large caliber machine guns crashed into the front of the German bomber like a siege cone!

The British fought very resolutely. At this time, a large number of German fighter jets rushed from other stations. After waiting for a long time, the number of planes that were stuck in the air had reached its limit. After waiting, the number of planes would become smaller and smaller. Taking advantage of the current numerical advantage, the British decisively launched a charge.

It has to be said that the DH9a type aircraft is indeed a very good aircraft. The engine with a power of about 400 horsepower provides it with quite good expansion. It can be used as a fighter, and it is a bomber. This time, the DH9a was reinstalled. The British installed a circle of engine armor at the square aircraft nose, and also installed bulletproof steel plates on the front and back of the pilot. Therefore, the Allied version of the charge aircraft finally appeared in World War I.

The Bull Squadron served as the spearhead of the entire interceptor group. The 12 DH9a fighter jets had more than 40 13.2mm machine guns aimed at the behemoth in the distance like the sharp teeth of a piranha!

"May God bless us!" Captain Coulon, the squadron leader, shouted before entering the attack.

"We will cover you and your fleet. Before we fall, you and your fleet will never be harassed by German fighters!" The captain of the escort team next to him said loudly to Kulun. His words were full of respect for these new-age air heavy knights, because in the entire fleet, the fleet responsible for frontal impact box formations will always suffer the most losses! Most of them rushed towards the bomber formation like meteors at the last moment of their lives, and burst into the most dazzling light in blood and fire!

At the same time, the German bomber group opposite was also ready to face the impact. "Repeat the order! Swear to never be dispersed! Even if the opponent's bullets will pierce our chests in the next second, we still have to maintain the team shape, for the brothers around you, for the victory!"

"Kill them!" 700 meters away, the 12.7mm machine gun on a German bomber first attacked, and the roar of dozens of machine guns even overshadowed the whistling of the engine engine. Hundreds of bullets flew out of the barrel of the gun every second, and rushed towards the British fleet in the distance like locusts.

The fire wolf made of bullets spread out from the front of the bomber formation. In less than 2 seconds, these deadly bullets bit the British fighter plane. The powerful warheads tear open the body of the plane and interrupt the wings. The sound of explosion and tearing is endless. Coulon could clearly feel that his plane was shaking severely. The oncoming bullets hit the armor on the front of the engine, shooting a series of Mars. Debris and shrapnel jumped on the huge nose and extended backwards. He subconsciously tilted his head, and a bullet almost shot against his forehead, and then embedded it on the bulletproof steel plate behind the seat.

The British armor enhancement plan was still useful. At least Coulen successfully survived this wave of bullets, but his colleagues were not so lucky. Just a few seconds ago, dense bullets fell from the sky directly covered one of his wingmen. The violent bullets directly smashed the upper wing of the dh9a ​​into pieces. Then, a large number of bullets and fragments cut the plane into half.

Another wingman died even more simply, with fierce side firepower hitting the fuel tank located at the rear of the engine. The armor-piercing incendiary bomb easily cut the iron sheet of the fuel tank, and the combustion agent inside ignited the highly volatile aviation gasoline. With a loud bang, the whole plane turned into a burning fireball!

During the last period of the British charge, the Bulls squadron charged fearlessly like a group of angry bisons! At least one-third of their companions were destroyed in just a few seconds of shooting, and the fragments and flames produced by the explosion burst into the air, like big fireworks!

However, the British sacrifice was not useless. In the end, the dh9a ​​fighter, which still exceeded the double-digit number, successfully entered the inner circle of the box formation! At a distance of less than 400 meters, when a K-6 bomber was almost filled with scopes, Captain Coulent pulled the trigger! Four 13.2mm machine guns spit out the fire snake at the same time, and the vibration generated when the machine gun fired even made the plane flutter.
