Chapter 123 A sudden air battle

The flight squadron was led by Carter. It consisted of 6 fighters carrying machine guns and 12 bombers carrying rockets, all of which were Avro models.

The consistent model was to make it easier for fighters to distinguish between friend and foe.

Otherwise, in a dazzling and extremely fierce air battle, when you pull the trigger at the target, the bullets "da da da" smashed it to pieces, and when it fell, you found the tricolor flag on the tail of the plane, and it was too late to regret.

All "Avro" can save similar troubles.

Pilots can quickly identify friends and enemies by model, which is especially important for Carter and his group of pilots who have never been on the battlefield and have no combat experience, but are carrying two heavy machine guns and shooting in the air.

Charles' order to Carter was: "Seize air superiority, find opportunities to suppress enemy artillery and infantry, and pay attention to avoid enemy infantry firepower!"

Carter could understand the meaning of the last two sentences: Kill them, don't be killed by them!

He didn't quite understand the previous sentence, so he asked on the phone: "What does it mean to seize air superiority, Lieutenant?"

Charles replied: "It means to kill all the enemy's flying things in the sky. The fighters go first and are responsible for shooting down the enemy's planes, and the bombers follow and are responsible for blowing up the balloons!"

"Understood, Lieutenant!" Carter muttered after hanging up the phone: "I should have said that long ago!"

He waved to the fighter pilots who were ready and shouted: "Come on, let's teach the Germans a lesson!"

The pilots responded excitedly, climbed onto the planes, and controlled them to fly into the sky one after another. Some people cheered loudly when they took off, as if they were looking forward to the upcoming war.

Until then, they had not been able to experience the cruelty and pressure of war. This mission was like a vacation for them, or a trip around the world with friends. Some people still dreamed of becoming a hero like Charles and being admired by thousands of people. Almost no one realized how cruel the battlefield waiting for them would be.

Twenty minutes later, when they flew over the battlefield, they were instantly frightened by the purgatory on earth below and turned pale.

Rows of shells exploded on the battlefield. Looking down from the air, it looked like a pot of boiling water bubbling out continuously, but these "bubbles" took soldiers up into the air. They were already incomplete when they were thrown into the air. In the smoke, one could clearly see the flash of red when their blood burst out, which was shocking.

In the gaps between the shells, there were still rows of soldiers rushing up, densely packed like ants, and the enemy and us fought hard in the guns and cannons. People kept falling down and people kept stepping on the corpses to move forward...

The pilot couldn't help but sigh at the fragility and lowliness of life. Before becoming a soldier, each of these people had struggled hard for decades. Now they finally had the ability to survive independently, but here they were only worth a bullet or a piece of shrapnel, and then everything disappeared, without a trace and nothing was left.

Carter looked down and shook his head slightly. When he looked up, he suddenly found that there were several German "Pigeons" and "Albatrosses" flying around.

Carter was startled. He looked around nervously and found that there were five planes following him. They were so close that he could see the faces and expressions of the German pilots.

The German pilots seemed to be observing the wings of the "Avro", looking around with some confusion on their faces.

Carter soon understood that these German pilots thought they were coming with rockets and originally planned to crash them to protect the balloons. Unexpectedly, when they got closer, they found that these "Avro" were not "armed".

This thought made Carter's heart "sudden". He couldn't imagine that death was so close. Just in that moment of distraction, they were almost crashed by the enemy and plunged into the pile of dead bodies on the ground below.

The thin Cornelius signed to Carter on the left wing, asking what to do.

Carter didn't respond. What else could he do? Didn't he know that he almost died once just now? If he didn't kill the enemy, he would die with these crazy guys!

Carter responded with action. He pulled the nose of the plane to catch up with a German "Albatross" flying in front of him, slowly accelerated and approached, and aimed the nose at its tail.

The German pilots still did not feel the danger, and they were even a little curious about Carter's follow-up action.

The next second they understood...

Carter pressed the controller in front of the cockpit, and the two machine guns "da da da" spewed flames forward, and the bullets hit the target fiercely with several bullet lines in the drizzle.

The wooden tail of the "Albatross" made a "crackling" sound, and wooden fragments flew everywhere. In the blink of an eye, the tail was cut off in half.

The pilot should have been killed as well. The penetration power of the Vickers machine gun could easily penetrate the fuselage and seat backs, and then shoot the pilot into a sieve.

It was just that the pilot's appearance could not be seen clearly because of the angle.

Soon, the plane lost its balance, and it rolled irregularly like a wooden stake and fell to the ground. The engine was still emitting black smoke, and then a "boom" sounded and a fire appeared on the ground.

This scene shocked everyone, both in the sky and on the ground.

The German pilots thought they had seen it wrong. They were stunned for a moment, and then someone screamed in German: "That's a machine gun. They installed a machine gun on the nose of the plane. God, how did they do it?"

He meant that the bullet had to hit the target without breaking the propeller, which seemed impossible to them!

At that moment, the German pilots even forgot to escape, and also forgot that there were five "Avro" beside them, which were also equipped with machine guns in the nose, two of them!

When they finally realized this, it was too late, and these planes were tightly biting their tails.

The speed of "Avro" was faster than "Dove" and "Albatross". No matter how the German pilots maneuvered to dodge, they could not break free. In the end, they could only make waves of panic and desperate screams in the sound of machine guns and were shot down!

The infantrymen who were frantically fighting for positions on the ground did not realize anything at first. They thought that one or two planes fell because of a malfunction or collision.

Soon they found something wrong. There was a fierce sound of machine guns in the sky, and planes fell one after another and burst into flames. The key point was that all the planes that fell were German planes.

A German soldier hiding in a bomb crater screamed: "It's a French plane, they installed a machine gun!"

Soon someone answered: "It's Charles, it must be Charles!"

This shout was immediately recognized by the German soldiers. Since Charles could bring a cannon on the plane, he could certainly bring a machine gun.

For a while, the German soldiers were in danger. They were worried that the planes with machine guns above their heads would target them. What could be more terrifying than this? It was useless for them to hide anywhere!

The Belgian soldiers cheered at the sky, and some shouted Charles' name.

Thanks to Maoxuan and Beiyang Duohaojie for the reward! Thank you very much!
