The request for attack was quickly agreed. In fact, before approval, Franz had already flown his Stuka bomber around the air and came to the end of the other party's formation.

No flare was released, so Franz was not sure how many bombers there were now. Now, take advantage of the other party's ignorance of his position and fight the next one first!

At the beginning of service, Stuka bombers had good mobility and could even abuse some opponents' biplanes, but now, Stuka's performance has fallen behind and can only be used as professional bombers.

It mainly carries bombs through the belly rack. At the same time, in order to help the ground forces destroy their opponents, like other aircraft, it is also equipped with bofoss 40mm machine gun and 7.9MM machine gun.

Of course, it is more suitable to deal with bombers, especially its machine gun shells, which alternate between armor piercing incendiary bombs, tracer bombs and high explosive bombs. This kind of shell is more suitable to deal with bombers.

Franz felt that his breath was a little short. In the past, dive bombing was so exciting that it didn't make him nervous. After all, the attack targets were different. In the past, it was a ground attack, but now it is an air attack, and it is also the largest bomber of the Soviet Union.

When the pale moonlight shone down, the Stuka bomber was a fuzzy shadow, which slowly approached the larger shadow in front.

The distance is gradually approaching, and yegini's eyes are no more than 100 meters. At this distance, he is confident to hit the other party, but at the same time, it is easy to collide, so he must be fast.

Taking another breath, he adjusted his position and pressed the gun button.

"Bang, bang!" The boforth machine gun hanging in the turret on one side of the wing roared, and the muzzle of the machine gun emitted a stream of gunsmoke, accompanied by a strong flash of the machine gun.

Ordinary aircraft like to use axis guns, which can facilitate aiming, but for night fighters, it is definitely a disaster. The flash of the muzzle of the machine gun will make people blind instantly.

Therefore, night fighters use machine guns on the wing or belly. Now, when the machine guns fire, yegini skillfully turns his head to one side. After only three shots, he quickly pulls up his plane.

With a trace of light, the shell accurately drilled into the tail of the fuselage of the pei-8 bomber behind. The 40mm armor piercing incendiary bomb first opened a big hole in it and then burned.

For machine guns, in fact, the power of 20mm caliber is not small. After all, many aircraft in this era still use machine guns. Now, as long as one of the 40mm machine gun shells hits, there is no possibility of survival!

Pei-8 shook first, and then the fuselage was torn. The plane continued to fly forward for a second, then rolled down, and the fuselage caught fire.

At this time, there was a constant exclamation from the radio: "night fighter, we were ambushed by night fighter!"

In the dark, they didn't see anything, but heard the gunfire, and then their own bomber was shot down, which made them immediately judge that it was the enemy's night fighter!

Hearing the news, major general Mikhail immediately frowned. He is still over the Baltic Sea. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by German night fighters here?

"According to scheme 2." Mikhail shouted on the radio, "lower the altitude and we'll fly low. Change course, enter the coasts of Estonia and Latvia, cross the Baltic Sea, and then turn to Berlin! "

In this era, due to the limitation of technology, radar can only be used at high altitude. In order to improve the range and reduce fuel consumption, bombers must fly at high altitude as much as possible.

Now, since it was discovered by the German night fighter, it is necessary to lower the altitude immediately! Flying to low altitude, neither their ground radar nor the airborne radar on the aircraft can find them.

The DB-3 bombers in front can't do this because they only have enough fuel to go back and forth at high altitude, but the pe-8 bombers are more than enough because they use fuel-efficient diesel engines.

Even if they take off from Petersburg, that's enough.

At the same time, this tortuous route can also escape the interception of German fighters. According to their existing investigation, the Germans did not arrange night fighter forces in these areas.

Now, as a bomber was shot down, they immediately changed their tactics. The pilot pushed the joystick, and the bomber began to bow forward, change course and enter low altitude.

"No, they're going to drill into low altitude!" Said the machine gunner in the back cabin.

"Throw flares." "Let's first determine how many pei-8 bombers there are," Franz said

The machine gunner threw down the flare. Two seconds later, the flare with the parachute began to release brilliance, illuminating the surrounding night sky and the bombers that were diving down.

"There are 10 more." Said the machine gunner.

"Now, let's catch up and show the Soviets some power!" Franz pushed the lever and Stuka began to dive down.

Just after beating down a plane, Franz immediately climbed the height to prevent collision with the pei-8 attacked by him. Now, the Soviet bomber is lowering the height, and Stuka can dive down skillfully.

During the dive, a whistle sounded on Stuka's landing gear.

"God, it's a Stuka bomber!" In lowering the altitude, Lieutenant Walisi raised his head in surprise. He heard the sharp whistle. At the same time, under the illumination of the flare, he had seen the aircraft coming to attack. It was the most familiar Stuka with inverted seagull wings!

Was it just this bomber that shot down its own bomber? What's this called?

The swooping Stuka swooped towards the bomber in front of him and saw that it was about to fire. Lieutenant varisi immediately shouted, "Captain Alexander, turn right!"

Thanks to the flare thrown by the other party, he can clearly see the direction. Now, with his call, the bomber in front is turning quickly. The track of the tracer bullet sweeps past captain Alexander's plane. Just now, if he didn't remind him, he must have been shot down!

Just when the light of the flare was about to go out, Lieutenant Walisi's pupils widened. The Stuka bomber turned smartly in the air and rushed the back to him. Then, on the seat behind the Stuka bomber, the machine gunner skillfully aimed at the 7.9 mm machine gun bullet. If it splashed towards him!

The other party's actions were done at one go without any hesitation. Even as an opponent, I couldn't help cheering for the other party. However, those bullets flew towards lieutenant varisi's plane.

The bullets came and covered the whole plane. Lieutenant Walisi was forced to pull his plane up again to avoid the barrage.

Just as he circled up, he heard the sound of bullets colliding from his fuselage. Then, on the dashboard in front of him, several red lights flashed.
