Chapter 1940: Clarion One of Attack
And just after the cutting-edge security system discovered the raven fleet entering German airspace, in less than two hours, the Luftwaffe General Command located at least 5 large attacking fleets! These clusters are marked with different colored markers on the huge map on the wall. The raven cluster that was discovered first is called the blue cluster!
"The reconnaissance fleet has locked the position and heading of the opponent. They are aiming at the supply convoy that is currently traveling on Route 3. The British reconnaissance aircraft has entered the vicinity of the convoy. Some of the enemy fighters have begun to climb to an altitude of 4,000 meters for alert. , The security fleet formed a 60-degree arc cordon in front of the target area. The British bomber force is expected to enter the venue in 30 minutes! The opposing fleet is very large, and there are more than 100 aircraft visually." Soon, the staff officers informed the British army. Put it all together.
"Very well, if the large fleets previously positioned are all of this size, let's calculate the sporadic fleet of the British. They are all elites today. Immediately notify the crown prince, saying that a storm is coming." Harrell Said.
At this time, in the vast area extending from the front line of the German army to the eastern part of Belgium, more than 3,000 aircraft in more than 200 airports have been waiting. They have been waiting, waiting for a large-scale British attack and exposing most of the frontier airports when a storm is brewing. The British launched the first large-scale attack since Operation Lightning. What the British did not expect was that this attack was their first, and perhaps the last attack. The more than 3,000 bombers were only the first today. In one wave, about 1,400 aircraft in the second wave will continue to attack in the afternoon!
There are more than 700 various fighter jets, which is the storm before the storm! Guided by the ground, these aircraft used terrain and clouds to bypass the reconnaissance sector at the front of the British fleet, approaching their opponents from the side and back! Before the battle, the German squadron captains also received an order not to beat the British bomber group too badly...
"The sentry confirmed that there is no German fighter group in the front." Colonel Darren, the commander of the Raven fleet, finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving this information. The situation is much better than he thought. The Germans seem to know nothing about their situation at the moment? The fleet has dropped to a height of 2,000 meters. At this time, Colonel Darren can already see the German fleet ten kilometers away. They are marching on the highway in an orderly manner, seemingly ignorant of the upcoming blow?
"I found the British bomber group. Except for about 10 fighters next to it, there is no **** force! And their fighters are low in position, probably to suppress ground air defense firepower! We entered from their six o'clock direction! No one can stop us!” At this time, the first wave of Executioner Interceptor Battalion Captain Lauer had clearly seen the British bomber group, and he estimated that the number of each other was about 40-50. There are a total of 36 interceptors on my side!
"I hope these new things don't let us down." I took a look at the K-4S interceptor that looked very similar to the K-4M. Lieutenant Colonel Raul said in his heart. To be honest, he is now very satisfied with the performance of the K-4M interceptor. In his opinion, the three 20MM cannons and two large-caliber machine guns on the nose can shred any target. It is a comparison to kill the DH9. A big single-engine airplane is a matter of 3 seconds. The dense shells form an oval drop area 300 meters away, and then the tracer and high-explosive shells are fired alternately, which can easily tear the target into pieces.
Even if you deal with a bomber such as the FB27, under normal circumstances, you can shoot down at most 3 shots, and the ammunition consumed is about 300 rounds. But some people in the Air Force still think that such efficiency is not high enough... Their idea of pursuing firepower has even reached the point of madness! (At least in the opinion of Lieutenant Colonel Raul.) So some people tried to put the heavier 2-pounder guns on the plane, and some planned to put small bombs on the wings and then fly over the opposing bomber group. Throw it down when passing by...
Finally, some more reliable people came up with a way to use rockets. And this method is said to have been supported by Crown Prince Ruprecht, so some K-4M interceptors were converted into rocket launchers. The specific improvement measure was to install some wooden guide rails on the lower wing. A launching tube was installed on the top, and a rocket was installed in the launching tube, which was fired by electric shock, with rifling in the launching tube. After the rocket is launched, it will rotate, and the folded wings before the tail will also open to ensure the stability of the rocket's flight.
These stuff, which are called R1 rockets, weigh about 4KG and have a length of 0.9 meters. The diameter of the warhead is 50MM. The initial speed of the flight is about 300 meters per second. In fact, the accuracy is very limited. But the power is huge, and the high-explosive warhead is filled with at least 600 grams of explosives. Belongs to the kind of stuff that goes into the soul! To deal with the FB27 bomber, it is estimated that as long as it hits one round, the V1500 may be stronger~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But if you hit 3 rounds, you have to hang it, and the most important thing is that a K-4S interceptor can Hit all 24 R1 rockets within 3 seconds...
"We attract the attention of the opposing machine gunner and let those K-4S kill them!" Lieutenant Colonel Raul ordered. The accuracy of the rocket itself is not high, and the hit distance is even closer than that of the machine gun. In addition, the 24 rockets and the huge load brought by the launcher make the K-4S interceptor move slowly. Therefore, these powerful melee weapons need to be well protected.
However, relying on good intelligence and cloud cover in the sky, when the Interceptors of the Executioner Battalion entered the stage of the final shallow dive attack, the British bomber group that was ready to enter the bombing route discovered the killer following!
"Damn it, the black death of the Germans!"
"We are surrounded! Where's the fighter force?" Amidst the exclaims, there was a deep fear. There are now very few experienced crew members, and the so-called machine gunners are a group of newcomers. Some of them have not even received complete machine gun shooting training! The roar of the Lewis machine gun broke the calm battlefield, but this time the bullet rain was dense, but it was not fatal!
"They actually emptied all the ammunition at once...Poor rookie! Is the Royal Air Force degraded to this level?" A German pilot looked at the British bomber that went silent after approaching. He gave a moment of silence for the seniors of the Royal Air Force.
