Aiming is not easy. If you want to shoot in the sky, you need skills.

Like the artillery on the ground, the first is ranging. In the tank soldier, this ranging is converted by the width of the opposite tank in its own sight. According to the known data, compare it with the width in the sight, and you can know the distance according to the principle of perspective.

Therefore, if an unknown tank comes across and the width is unknown, the measurement may be wrong.

In the sky, fighter pilots also need to measure the distance. They don't know how far they are at a glance. Fighter pilots also measure the distance in this way, usually with a wingspan.

For a known fighter, the wingspan is determined. If it is backward, it needs to be calculated manually. Now, of course, the B-29 is automated.

On the sight, there is a special device for setting the wing span of the enemy aircraft. As long as the target model is determined, the wing span of the enemy aircraft is estimated and set according to the manual or visual, and then the size of the collimator aperture is adjusted, the central fire control system can automatically calculate the distance and compensate the firing according to the speed, distance, included angle of the target and the speed of the self aircraft.

Yes, shooting compensation is very important, because in the air, the trajectory is curved. At the same time, both sides are in fierce movement. If there is no advance, it is absolutely impossible to hit. All have to fly.

Now, on the sight of the remote control turret, DEX seriously operates according to the previous training, step by step, and the contour of the target aircraft is getting larger and larger.

"Fire!" DEX shouted loudly. Then his left hand pressed the 30 degree metal sheet on the left ratchet, which was the last safety switch. Then his right hand pressed the button.

"Dada dada." Instantly, the front turret and rear turret on the back of the fuselage were all fired!

If at ordinary times, the front turret is controlled by the bomber, but now the aircraft has entered the bombing route, and the bomber needs to concentrate on bombing, so the front turret is operated by the main gunner.

Two turrets and four 12.7 mm machine guns fired at the sky together. Countless bullets formed a fire network in the sky.

It was not just their plane. At this time, almost a dozen planes, with their turrets firing into the sky, and 48 12.7 mm machine guns at the top, were firing fiercely into the sky.

Takahashi, who rushed down first, immediately realized that the situation was not good. Just in order to pursue the accuracy of hit, he did not fire at a long distance, because although the 20mm machine gun had fierce firepower, there were not many bullets available. If he continued to shoot, it would be out soon. He had to get close and fight for one hit.

Now, he knows the trouble is big. It's like a hedgehog below!

Forty eight machine guns fired at the sky together. What a spectacular scene? In short, in the eyes of the pilot, it seems that there is a rain of death. No one can get out of it.

While firing from above, the turret below also fired.

Originally intended to sneak attack from below, but now, the 48 machine guns below are also firing fiercely below. The whole B-29 flight formation is like a Flying Fortress, with strict protection on all sides and almost no dead corners!

Yes, there is no dead corner. Any plane that breaks in will be shot full of holes and fall down with black smoke.

This is the last life-saving skill of the bomber formation.

In the past, light bombers at most had a machine gun at the tail, with many shooting dead corners. However, when they evolved into huge bombers, the number of gun positions on the fuselage will increase, which greatly enhanced the protection ability, such as now.

Even without fighter escort, they can protect themselves only by themselves. The B-29 is worthy of the title of its Flying Fortress!

There are flying machine gun bullets everywhere. They are airtight. Even if they can't shoot down the enemy plane, they can make the other party retreat. As long as they stick to it for a few minutes, they will complete the task!

Unfortunately, they met Islanders.

If they are Germans, they will choose to give up, because Germans have received education. They will not exchange their lives for victory unless they have to. That price is too high. They have to protect their lives, and the Empire needs them.

However, the island people are different. The island people's brain is single-minded. Once they recognize something, they will never be afraid of death.

"Long live the emperor!" In fact, only one second passed. After Takahashi dived down, the other party opened fire in an attempt to expel them. In a moment, Takahashi made his own choice.

We can't be afraid of these firepower. Even if we hit them, we should knock them down!

These bombers go to bomb their own bases. Even if one bomber successfully drops the bomb, they will suffer heavy losses. If the runway is hit by a bomb, they will not be able to take off.

They will never compromise. At the same time, they have only one chance to intercept. Once the two sides cross, they catch up again, and the other side must start dropping bombs!

Takahashi shouted loudly, while operating his fighter plane to continue to dive without fear.

Behind him, other bombers followed and dived down one by one!

Sparks appeared from the propeller in front. It was the propeller that flew the bullet. The other party's shooting was really accurate!

I won't fall behind!

Takahashi's hand pressed on the operating rod. In the vibration of diving, he pressed the shooting button.

"Bang bang." His axle gun burst into flames, and he was sure that he would hit it!

Just then, his nose suddenly shook, and then a black smoke came out from the front.

No, a bullet went through the propeller, hit his engine and interrupted the oil circuit!

The BF109 is strong. It depends on where it is hit. It can withstand some bullet holes on the fuselage and wing, even the fuel tank, because it is not afraid of self closing technology.

However, the engine of the nose is different. It is impossible to use thick armor to protect the engine for heat dissipation. Now, the oil pipe is hit, and the high-grade fuel splashes on the supercharger, which immediately emits fire.

"Go to hell, Yankee!" Takahashi shouted loudly. From the middle of the fire, he aimed at the position of the other party's bomber and continued to dive down. At this moment, he was not afraid of anything.
