One island fighter has restrained four escort fighters, but now, the whole B-29 bomber group is escorted by only 12 Mustang fighters.
After all, they think that the islanders have no high-altitude advantage, so they enter from high altitude and then leave from high altitude. The escort fighter just glides in a circle.
But now, James has found that the situation is not good.
At this time, they are only tens of kilometers above the target. If they have good eyesight, they can see clearly over the target. There, there are fighters taking off and accelerating towards their own side.
It would be troublesome if all the people came were BF109, but it shouldn't be so bad? Otherwise, why is there nothing in the intelligence?
As those fighters took off and kept climbing, their tension gradually increased. When the other party climbed to the same height as them, the distance between the two sides was less than ten kilometers.
"Note that all the people coming are BF109, dense formation. Let's welcome them with roaring bullets!"
Although the junker-290 has appeared in advance in this era, the B-29 is still a cross era existence for the United States and Boeing.
In the past, the altitude of 10000 meters was almost an impossible altitude. Almost all aircraft in island countries circled at the altitude of two or three thousand meters. The serious problem was the low temperature and hypoxia in the altitude.
For example, when B-17 bombers want to perform their tasks, they must wear bulky electric heating flight clothes and cumbersome oxygen masks to maintain life. Even so, once down, it's freezing. If you're suddenly hit by an oxygen tube in battle, you'll be unconscious for a few minutes. The electric flight suit was interrupted and it had to freeze to death.
In short, high altitude is not suitable for human survival.
Especially the machine gunners, sitting in the glass ball cover with the best view, bear great danger.
Now, the B-29 is different.
It uses a pressurized cockpit. Almost everyone in the aircraft only wears half a sleeve. At the same time, the turret has become a remote control turret. The machine gunner only needs to control the operating lever in front of his own console.
As a huge aircraft, the B-29 is equipped with five turrets on the nose, back and belly. Each turret is equipped with two 12.7mm machine guns, and a 20mm gun is added to the tail turret. 12 12.7mm machine guns in the four remote control turrets and tail turrets, each carrying 1000 rounds of ammunition. In the early model of tail turret, there was also a 20mm M2 gun type B, with 100 rounds of ammunition.
The best thing is that when needed, they can also control the shooting of other artillery. Under the control of the airborne central fire control system, everything is so easy, just like playing video games in future generations.
This is absolutely terrible firepower deployment. Now, 12 bombers form a dense formation, so there will be countless air defense firepower in all directions. Considering that any fighter who wants to attack them must pass through their most terrible air defense system!
They have confidence in their aircraft. Now, let the island people despair!
In the first leading bomber, gunner DEX watched the outside through the bubble observation window on his top.
According to the distribution, different turrets are controlled by different people. For example, the front turret on the back of the fuselage is usually controlled by the bomber, the middle turret is controlled by the gunner, and the front and rear turrets on the abdomen are controlled by the Gunners on both sides.
Among them, due to the high position of the middle gunner, he has a good global vision of the combat situation through the top bubble observation window, and naturally becomes the highest level gunner - the central fire control gunner.
Compared with others, his control is more complex. For example, he can allocate turrets through the main fire control panel. For example, when necessary, he can allocate four fuselage turrets to one side to concentrate fire on the enemy.
In other words, he can mobilize all his firepower at any time.
At this time, his head appeared as if he were sticking out of the roof skylight. He looked at the smoke around him. The fighter planes escorting them had flown away from the formation. In this case, they must meet in advance. Although they can't stop them all, they can at least reduce the pressure of the bomber forces.
Now it's too late to continue calling for support. It's only a few minutes away from the target. What they need is persistence, persistence and persistence!
Fly bravely over the target, drop the bomb, and you can return.
Now they have almost entered the bombing route. They can no longer carry out any mobile evasion, and there can be no chaos in the formation. Therefore, they can only rely on their own self-defense machine guns to intercept!
There was a battle between the island fleet in front and the intercepted Mustang fighters. The two sides tossed up and down. From time to time, planes fell down with black smoke. At the same time, a group of island fighters quickly crossed the battle airspace and came towards the American fleet.
The squadron leader Takahashi, driving his fighter, rushed murderously. In the past, there was no way to look at American bombers. Now it's different. They can fly up easily!
The secondary supercharger is hissing and the engine is roaring. Takahashi pulls his operating lever and continues to climb. At the same time, he issues an order to his troops on the radio: "attention, team 1 dive attack, team 2 climb attack!"
It is reckless to fly head-on with the bomber group. The shooting window is too small, and the other party's bullet receiving area is too small. With his command, the aircraft behind will automatically separate into two groups.
Some planes follow the high bridge and continue to climb upward. After exceeding the flight altitude of the other party, they dive down. The rest fly lower than the other party's altitude and are ready to attack from below.
Now, they fly at random at an altitude of 10000 meters. They dare not think of such a move before.
Takahashi's fighters flew in front. At this time, those bombers did not dodge. They were still in a neat formation. It was like waiting in line to die!
BF109, with a sharp roar, dive towards the bomber, nose, has aimed at the leading bomber!
The pilot plane is always the most dangerous. Generally, as long as the pilot plane is destroyed, other planes will flee in all directions.
Now, Takahashi leads the team to dive and another team to attack on the back. In the fuselage, DEX has put his eyes on the sight. His hands skillfully turned the ratchets on both sides of the sight to align the eyepiece with the target, adjust the collimation and aim at the flying fighter.
