Chapter 669: Sky Grim Reaper III
"That's the end of one of our artillery companies? Is that right?" Xiao Maoqi said with a calm face.
"The first long-range artillery company has been judged to be destroyed." A staff officer next to it said.
Compared to Xiao Maoqi’s understatement, the brothers of the first long-range artillery company on the front line were moved to feel the black smoke rising in the distance, the vibration of the earth, and the bomb hit a diameter of more than 20 meters. The bomb crater is nothing. They now have a more direct experience. After all, it was the first air strike. There were still planes throwing bombs. An incendiary bomb landed less than 500 meters from the artillery position. In the place where the bomb was a bit heavy, coupled with a bit of wind, hundreds of kilograms of napalm splashed, and the wind helped the fire, and a line of fire rushed towards the artillery position!
"As long as one shot of a special incendiary bomb, half a 75MM artillery company can lose combat effectiveness. This is definitely a weapon of the devil. The flames with napalm scattered on the ground like raindrops will soon form a sea of fire." An officer who had experienced fire fighting and had half of his hair burnt reported this way.
"The effect is good, but it needs to be improved. When the napalm bomb explodes, the range is not too wide, causing a huge waste of lethality. In fact, we can completely make the bomb into a barrel type. Then design a horizontal bomb. On the pylon, press stable wings on both sides. When thrown again, this bomb will roll like a floating stone, and then evenly spread the internal combustion agent in a large area... "Huck concluded like this after returning home.
At the same time, several other teams quickly found their targets. Needless to say, the attack on the fixed unit was successful. The bomb was dropped into the designated area. In a very short time, the Bavarian Black Hawks were killed. A 150MM long-range artillery company, a logistics supply point, and another 210MM heavy howitzer company.
The last squad focused on a mobile Prussian mobile artillery detachment. Accompanied by a battalion of soldiers, two companies of 77MM rapid-fire guns were maneuvering forward along the newly renovated road under the guidance of a truck. At this moment, the German bomber force arrived.
In this attack, the Bavarian Air Force validated for the first time several assumptions of licking the ground and bombing attacks in the face of the army formation in open terrain. The first point is that in the face of a large number of soft targets, smaller bombs with a larger coverage area are better than large bombs. Second, repeated machine gun shooting for a long time can instantly collapse the morale of an infantry, even if the bullet cannot hit the opponent.
In order to avoid damage, all the planes almost attacked a strip of area parallel to the convoy. The dull air-blast of grenade shells came out from a distance. After a second, the flower of death formed by flying steel **** and shrapnel exploded over the bush. Looking from the air, the bushes seemed to be directly overwhelmed by a pair of huge hands. The shock wave and shrapnel from the explosion easily shattered everything they encountered.
The roaring sound of machine guns and the explosion of bombs made the soldiers who saw the air strike at close range bewildered for the first time. Some of them ran in the opposite direction, some relied on their instinct to find shelter, or simply lay on the ground and died. Get up, and several vehicles trying to escape also fell into the mud or swamp beside the road in a panic, unable to move. The officer tried to restore order, but was unsuccessful until the fleet was withdrawn. And this force was not unexpectedly ruled out.
And just when the four bomber squads returned home, there was such an episode. Several Prussian planes ran into a squad of Black Hawk bombers that were returning home. When the other party tried to bite their tails from behind, they unexpectedly It was discovered that the Black Hawk bomber that throws away bombs and consumes ordinary fuel even flies faster than fighter jets. Seeing the greater the distance, the Prussian pilot shook his head helplessly.
Richthofen is a special case. He used his excellent anticipation and excellent operations to successfully take a short cut to fly in front of the German aircraft, and at the same time use his altitude advantage to start a shallow dive attack. "Get closer, get closer!" The future Red Baron carefully stared at the target in front of him. He chose a Black Hawk bomber to the left of the opponent's fleet as the target, and the simple circular sight gradually locked onto the opponent. "If it's actual combat, you'll be dead by 200 meters." Richthofen was about to pull the camera button next to it as a record of the opponent's downfall.
However, when he approached 800 meters, suddenly a series of flames flew from the side, forming a fine fire net instantly. This is at least the firepower that can be fired by more than ten machine guns, the roar of machine guns, and bullets from the side. The sound of swishing past made the newcomer panicked, and when a 12.7mm bullet spun and bit off a large piece of the wing, Richthofen finally recognized the situation and began to leave.
"Damn it, I didn't intend to hit him!" Huck was also sweating profusely. He just wanted to scare this stunned boy. He really didn't intend to beat him down, so he chose to It fired at a long distance, but the ballistic of the 12.7MM machine gun was very good, and the firepower density was also very high. In addition, the speed of the aircraft in this era was too slow, and Richthofen’s luck was too bad, so accidents appeared. Fortunately, the bomber team stopped quickly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In the end, the famous future pilot drove the plane and plunged into a mud pit, and he also took the first lesson of air combat. Never charge a single plane. Bomber formations with powerful self-defense firepower and flying in formation.
Finally, 35 of the 36 bombers successfully returned to the base. One of the on-road fueling equipment had a problem and forced to land in the field. It was then dismantled by a team of engineers and transported back to the base in pieces. After successfully destroying two artillery companies, attacking a convoy, and blowing up a material storage warehouse, on the way back, three Prussian aircraft and two artillery observation balloons were taken away. It can be described as brilliant.
After returning to the base, the Black Hawk bomber formation went into preparations for more than one hour. After completing the refueling and hanging up, the second batch of pilots immediately ran onto the plane. At today's speed of preparation, a round trip takes about two hours. Time, it was less than 12 o'clock when we set off again. If you are lucky, you can blow it up again before it gets dark today. Three times a day. The prince was very satisfied with his attendance.
Ever since, just as Xiao Moqi was eating lunch, the second wave of the Bavarian Air Force's attack finally came, and it was a coincidence that one of the waves of bombers flew over Xiao Moqi's head... ... Seeing the huge shadows cast by these planes on the ground are moving fast, little Moqi is not good.
"Preparing for a meeting, our original plan is no longer needed!" Xiao Maoqi said with a throw of the spoon in his hand.
