Chapter 1799: Ambush one

"General, the interceptor formation under the command of the Red Baron and the fighter unit led by Lieutenant Colonel Green have entered the designated airspace to prepare for an ambush, and our mobile artillery units are also in place. It seems that the United Kingdom has been too comfortable this time. The route is almost straight. Nothing has changed." A staff officer sent the latest information to Major General Ross.

"They can't be blamed entirely on them. To deal with such a military-level logistics supply center, 72 bombers are still less, so they must reduce the range as much as possible to ensure that they carry enough ammunition, so that every liter of fuel can fly the farthest. They need to fly at the specified speed and altitude on the specified route. We have a very in-depth understanding of the Type 0 bomber, so all their actions cannot escape our eyes, and today, the clouds are relatively high It is impossible for them to use the cover of clouds. In front of our ground observation network, the British have nowhere to hide!" Major General Ross said.

　　 "General, the British fleet has entered our ambush circle." Ten minutes later, a staff officer sent another piece of information.

"Really? Let our ground artillery troops give the British the first big gift!" With Ross's order, the first ring of the lasso has been opened. What the British did not expect is that here In what was called "the most tragic air battle on the Western Front", the first shot was not the German fighter unit, nor the German interceptor unit, but a group of antiaircraft artillery!

At this time, hundreds of trucks and self-propelled artillery have been deployed on the only way for the British. I have to say that the location chosen by the Germans is very good. This is a hilly area covered by bushes and bushes. On the surrounding vantage points, the Germans deployed a large number of observation posts and firing command posts. At the same time, they also placed some machine guns and 40MM machine guns with a relatively limited firing height on the top of the mountain.

In the distance, a large number of vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft artillery guns formed artillery positions, with an average of 4 to 8 medium-caliber anti-aircraft artillery guns forming a position. There were as many as 18 medium-caliber antiaircraft artillery positions forming a huge ribbon ambush circle. , This ambush circle happened to be on the scheduled route of British bombers! These ambush circles with medium caliber artillery as the backbone, and a large number of rapid-fire guns and machine guns as the auxiliary are like a giant hidden in the dark, waiting for a fatal blow to the British bombers at any time!

"The British will arrive on the battlefield in a quarter of an hour! Hurry up and prepare!" With the urging of the officers, all the anti-aircraft artillery units adjusted their positions for the last time. Finally, in the selected positions, half-tracked vehicles The car stopped, and the engineer would quickly level out a flat ground in the selected position, and then the vehicle towing the antiaircraft artillery quickly lowered the artillery, the gray-green gun jacket was taken off, the thick and long antiaircraft gun pointed to the sky, and the side The gunner of ”removed a box of shells from the ammunition cart. The 88MM shells were placed in a special wooden box, with three shells a box. The 75MM shell is 4 rounds. The altitude of the British flight has been locked, the height of the fighter jet is about 3000 meters, and the altitude of the bomber is 2500 meters.

　　 The shells will be placed aside after being taken out of the packaging. At this time, several professional technical officers are binding the fuse of the shells according to the height of the British bomber. Before the proximity fuze, the firing of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns was more probabilistic and pedigree (European Emperor and Fethi)... However, if the opponent’s flight speed, heading and altitude information can be captured, it will still be very helpful for the hit rate of the antiaircraft artillery. After all, the antiaircraft artillery group is aimed at the aircraft group, even if it does not directly touch the target, it is correct A high-altitude explosion is also quite threatening to a dense fleet.

　　 Under the cover of the woods, a firepower net composed of hundreds of artillery of various calibers and more than 200 large-caliber machine guns has been deployed. The entire artillery group is commanded by 8 antiaircraft artillery command posts. Form a death trap with a width of 6 kilometers and a firepower covering a length of 18 kilometers! The medium-caliber artillery is responsible for attacking the bomber group, while hundreds of machine guns and cannons are responsible for covering the medium-caliber artillery positions and ambush the fighter group that may enter the low altitude suppression.

"I have seen the British! After about 6 minutes, they entered the pockets. After 12 minutes, all the main targets entered the ambush circle. They didn't find us! The bomber group was still in tight formation!" The Dora observation post in the pocket verified for the last time At the time of the target situation, the gunners had loaded a round of fuze-bound cannonballs into the barrel, and the machine gunners checked for the last time the cooling water bucket and the side bullet chain attached to the large-caliber machine gun.

　　 "There seems to be something on the ground?" A British bombardier was bored observing the ground through the bomb sight at the lower part of the nose. Suddenly, he felt something turning in the bush below!

　　 "That is an illusion, but the wind blows through the woods." The co-pilot in front said without looking back~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I hope, but, don't you realize that we are too smooth? Our large fleet has been flying over the Germans for more than an hour. However, we have not seen an intercepted aircraft yet. When has the German air fleet been so weak? "The bomber said nervously.

"It's been the same for the past week, from now on..." Just as the co-pilot answered this sentence, a loud noise like billowing thunder came from the ground, looking from the sky, countless fires rose from the woods. The orange muzzle flames and gun smoke even became a piece of smoke. After a while, when the British in the plane hadn't reacted, the flames had exploded in the huge fleet!

　　 "It's an anti-aircraft gun! A lot of anti-aircraft guns!" A new crew member yelled frantically. It seemed that only this could relieve the pressure that almost broke him. His ears were full of violent explosions, and countless shrapnel and flames swept around. The shrapnel and the aircraft skin violently collided, and pieces of the aircraft skin were broken into pieces!

Sufficient preparations made the Germans' first round of anti-aircraft artillery attacks very effective. Within 2 minutes of firing, at least 3 British bombers were directly hit. The powerful high-explosive bombs directly volleyed these poor bombers. disintegration. And then, the flames and shrapnel like the tide water formed a fire storm and quickly spread to the surroundings, causing other closer aircraft to be affected! The flying shrapnel cut off the wings of the plane next to it, shattered its body, and then plunged it headlong into the fire.
