Chapter 1060: Tiandihuo

Chapter 1060 Skyfire 3

At this time, the wolves that had been wandering around finally moved! The Russian fighter forces divided into several units began to pounce on the German bomber group preparing to bomb.

"The cover aircraft group is in front of the attack aircraft group, maintaining an altitude advantage of 500 meters to 800 meters, and covering the descending bombing brothers." Before entering the attack route, Major Kossel gave the last order.

Regarding how to bomb targets more effectively and safely, the Germans have worked a lot. If they want to bomb accurately, the altitude must be lowered and the speed must be controlled. This is when the bomber force is most vulnerable. So how to solve this problem?

It is a good idea to continue bombing in formation, because it will directly cover an area with bombs dropped by the entire bomber force. Improved accuracy, and at the same time, the tight formation is also conducive to resisting the attack of fighter jets. However, during the bombing, the formation size is relatively small after all, and the spacing is relatively large, which is useful, but general. After a period of thinking, the Germans got along with the same group of bombers to provide alertness at high altitude.

The aircraft group responsible for the cover is in front of the bomber unit. If the opponent's fighter strikes at high altitude, it will first hit the cover aircraft group. Of course, if you choose to attack from the side or behind, you will naturally not hit, but the shooting basically depends on machinery. In the era of sights, it is really difficult to attack an object that is flying at more than 100 kilometers per hour and moving in three-dimensional space from the side. According to German estimates, if a J-1C fighter jet attacks a K-4D bomber If the latter does not evade or counterattack, the success rate of attacking from the side is only below 20%! Because the attack window time is very short.

Therefore, if applied to the Russians, it is very difficult to flanking a large-scale K-4D bomber unit, it is difficult to hit, and it is even harder to hit hard. As for attacking from behind, it is not easy, especially when the bombs are thrown out, the K-4D bombers with only half of the fuel left may even fly faster than some Russian fighters... . (Actually, this is normal when the engine power of the aircraft is insufficient. For example, when the P38 was in service that year, it was the fastest aircraft that the United States flew...)

And the altitude of about 3000 meters is the zenith of the aircraft. You cannot fly higher than the aircraft group responsible for the cover. You can pass through the 800-meter altitude difference between the two aircraft groups, but you have to endure the firepower and the same Small window time. At the same time there was an offensive by scattered German fighter forces. In short, for the Russian pilots who encountered this kind of formation for the first time, it caught them by surprise.

"Follow me, we only have to hold on for one minute!" Captain Ivan Sminov, the ace pilot of the 19th Fighter Squadron of the Russian Air Force, said loudly to his comrades, and then he piloted a Newport fighter jet to dive first. Charged to a group of declining German bombers. Then the remaining 5 planes rolled sideways in the air, following up.

They flew by the side of a bunch of K-4D bombers. Ivan, who was the captain, rushed over before the opponent reacted. The colleagues behind were not so lucky. The front and rear guns of 6 German bombers were fired. Focus on this fleet that has entered the attack route! Fire snakes flew across the plane from the side, red tracer incendiary bombs swished past the Russians and their aircraft, and a bullet suddenly bit the side of the cockpit of a Newport fighter. After the bullet directly hit a hole in the body of the machine, half of the pilot's body was torn off! A heart-piercing cry came from behind, making Ivan feel tight. The German 12.7MM machine gun is so powerful that it can hardly survive as long as it is hit.

And a Russian pilot next to him finally couldn't bear the weight of this spirit and chose to roll away, using the drop in altitude to further increase his speed, and facing this arbitrarily acting guy, Ivan could only hope that he could be lucky. , Do not ask him to knock down the opponent, only ask him not to be killed by the opponent.

"Don't be lucky, don't show your last hole cards." This is Ivan's fighting motto. The rookie lowered his altitude to below 1500 meters just after the air battle began. When his dive acceleration was used up, the plane was slow. Wait to be killed when you recover energy!

And just dozens of seconds later, Ivan suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure painted with an iron cross rushing through the air, and easily followed the Newport fighter that had left the formation like a hunting osprey. The opponent was very good. He controls his own speed and the distance between the two sides, only one shot "reminds" the Russians to chase after him! However, the panicked Russian pilot kept turning and consuming his own kinetic energy quickly. The fate of this aircraft has been determined and it will not survive. According to Ivan’s estimation, the German aircraft in the back is enough to carry on before the former recovers its energy. Two attacks.

A minute later, a huge fireball soared from the ground. If nothing else, it should be the place where the plane in his team crashed.

"Okay, everyone follow me, we will stare at one of the planes and shoot!" Regardless of whether his friendly forces can hear or not, Ivan rebalanced the plane's attitude, pressed the nose down slightly, and the wing of the Newport plane The upper machine gun was aimed at a K-4 bomber in the distance. Then he rushed down first!

"Huh?!" Ivan glanced suspiciously at his colleague~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then dumbfounded. "There is really no tacit understanding!" The remaining 4 planes aimed their machine guns at the 3 German bombers at the same time, and none of them even attacked the selected target with him... So the result of this offense was that in the ten seconds that the two sides crossed, the Newport aircraft could only fire less than 150 rounds, and this amount of shots would be better for the next K-4 bomber. Go to sleep!

After a series of fighting, although the Russians still gathered a large number of fighters, compared with the huge number of German aircraft groups, not even half! The quality is even worse than that of the Russian pilots a few days ago. Anyway, the fighter pilots who were responsible for the interception a few days ago were all fighter pilots, but this time, the reconnaissance pilots were all on board. Some people are simply novices. After the first wave of interceptions, the Russian Air Force could no longer prevent the Germans from pouring tons of bombs on the city.

"Death will spread its wings and pounce on you!" Major Kossel saw a K-4 bomber from an "expert brigade" quickly pass by his eyes, and then dropped an incendiary bomb on a street. Said.
