Chapter 1739: Flying over Shetland III

Naturally, there are some knowledgeable among the British. This K-8 bomber did perform missions on the coast of the Baltic Sea before. Naturally, it would not choose a camouflage with a background similar to that on the ocean. The K-8 was painted in more orthodox German gray. Due to the urgent task this time, the painting has not been changed.

　　 "What's the joke? Can the German plane fly here?" Betty was really shocked, he really didn't expect the German aviation to have this level! After all, in his perception, the V1500 of the British Empire is the world's first! And now, it seems to add a tie for first? !

　　 "Hurry up and shoot him down! Then take the Germans out of their flying chopping wood, I want to interrogate them!" Betty roared furiously. However, other people ignored Betty’s anger. When they looked at the approaching aircraft and confirmed that it was a certain unknown type of German bomber, the first thing they did was to lift Betty to the side. Evacuate, God knows, did this bomber come with bombs! At the same time, the planes at the airport have also begun to evacuate, and some clever airport guards have begun to disassemble the machine guns on the planes and prepare to shoot into the air! (Many aircraft machine guns are actually ordinary machine guns with a ring frame, which is very easy to remove.)

"Frighten them and tell the Brits that we have been here." So, following the command of the captain, the machine gunner hit a bullet chain at a height of 2,800 meters. Of course, shooting at this height is almost irrelevant. The hit rate, as someone said, is to tell the British that they have been here.

　　 This reconnaissance plane also swiftly passed over the airport, and then circled continuously, using a camera to record the situation at the airport. At the same time, in the other three airports, all the K-8 bombers that arrived at the reconnaissance area faithfully performed their missions, recording everything they saw with cameras.

　　 The Shetland Islands were originally small in area, but even smaller ones could be used as an airport. A total of 10 K-8 bombers quickly surveyed all target areas. (Two of the K-8 bombers that were separated then felt the target area, the other two, one returned due to mechanical failure, and one failed to find the target.)

After the initial panic, the British quickly reacted. With the help of a tractor, a bomber was towed aside to clear the runway for the fighters. A dozen DH9 fighters took off quickly. This is a light bomber, but the British found that the high-speed performance of this aircraft is very good, and the body is sturdy and the larger load can equip the aircraft with more weapons, so this aircraft became the British interceptor. machine.

　　 "British's plane took off! Damn it, it's DH9, we should go." A machine gunner first spotted these guys flying fast on the runway. After all, aerial reconnaissance is not bombing. After a few laps on the airport and a few laps to the nearby port, the K-8 bomber began to prepare for evacuation.

"We seem to be bitten!" At this time, Major Knowles’s Black Knight was the last to evacuated. Before leaving, the plane was still walking around the radio base station at the northernmost tip of the Shetland Islands. So, His plane was pulled at the end, and the three DH9 fighters rushed up like piranhas smelling blood. The British plane was obviously not fully loaded in pursuit of high speed. When the K-8 bomber was flying at a speed of more than 160 kilometers per hour, the De Havilland killer behind was still approaching the target at a faster speed!

"Keep on rising! We will have a chance if we fly higher!" Seeing the fleet approaching, Colonel Knowles ordered the three Daimler Benchi engines to run at their highest output, with a total of nearly 1,500 horsepower pulling this plane. The plane currently weighing 10 tons is flying towards high altitude. The slowdown during the climb gave the British the first opportunity to attack!

"Go to hell, British!" The machine gunner on the tail and the upper part of the fuselage controlled 4 large-caliber machine guns and sprayed fire snakes at the target. Then the British attacked unwillingly, a DH9 aircraft headed Three machine guns roared frantically, and countless bullets crossed in the air. The two sides fired at a distance of less than 400 meters. This DH9 easily sifted the position of the machine gun at the rear of the aircraft. Dozens of French 13.2MM machine gun bullets easily shredded the rear seat machine gunner and combined two The machine gun and the stand were broken.

But this guy did not escape. When it flew over the K-8 with its bullet holes, a side-fire machine gun slashed in the lower part of its engine compartment, 12.7MM armor-piercing incendiary bomb. The V12 liquid-cooled engine was beaten up. Then, the plane fell down like a weight.

　　 And when another DH9 was trying to approach the target from below, it was taught to behave by two large-caliber machine guns in the lower part of the fuselage. Two hot snakes easily smashed half of the wing of the plane and forced the opponent to evacuate. The last plane was lucky and attacked cautiously, but after ten minutes of entanglement, when the K-8 bomber flew to an altitude of 5200 meters~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this plane may be due to fuel problems, maybe Because of the sharp drop in high-altitude performance, the pursuit was finally abandoned.

　　 "We went back alive, didn't we?" Colonel Knowles breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the flying plane.

"The German bomber is almost like a flying porcupine, with spikes all over its body. If you accidentally stabbed it with blood." After the battle, a British pilot removed the bombshell from the plane. Going up and down, looking at the plane without half of the wing and the DH9 whose rear body was almost beaten into a honeycomb, he said with lingering fear.

"The Germans are starting to pay attention here." Betty looked up at the sky, then looked at the airport that had been rushing into the air and said. In fact, even an amateur can see that the German bombers are only performing reconnaissance missions. , And this range has almost reached the limit of the bomber. From the description of the pilots and observers, this aircraft is at the same level as the V1500. Therefore, the German bomber group is unlikely to pose a threat here. It stands to reason that Betty shouldn't be worried.

　　 As for sending a fleet to attack? This seems to him even more nonsense. The most obvious question is, how does the German fleet ensure that it will not be found across the entire North Sea? Even if the night is used, the maximum is no more than 12 hours, and the distance from Wilhelmshaven to the Shetland Islands is at least 900 kilometers. Even if the German fleet can sail at a speed of 20 knots per hour, it will take a day. And even if the weather is bad, it has a certain concealment effect on the whereabouts of the fleet, Betty does not think that the Germans can slip over!
