"One hundred kilometers, enter the bombing route." Cried Captain William in the sky.
In the blue sea, you can already see the white spray on the distant sea. In front of each spray, there is a warship sailing, and the whole formation is so huge on the sea.
Hundreds of warships!
The distance of 100 kilometers seems far away, but they must enter the bombing route now and can't be changed easily.
Very simple, the vb-1 bomb they carry can only be adjusted left and right. When the bomb falls, they can turn left and right, but they can't change back and forth. You can't adjust the distance.
From the perspective of radio channels, it has increased to 47, which is almost the same as the later vb-3, but its projectile body can only be adjusted left and right. It is most suitable to bomb long strip targets. If bombing warships, it must maintain the route from a distance.
It's like dropping a free fall bomb.
As last time, each bomber carried only one vb-1 bomb, 1000 pounds, half a ton. The remaining pylons of the B-29 with a bomb carrying capacity of 10 tons were also loaded with other free falling bombs.
If it were not for the dive attack, the hit rate of free falling bombs would be very low. Fortunately, the German fleet is in dense formation and dense at sea. If the carpet bombing goes on, maybe the blind cat is loaded with dead mice, which will have additional results. At the same time, a large number of bombs can hide the real attack killer.
William breathed deeply and nervously. It seemed that the oxygen content in the pressurized cabin was gradually decreasing, which made him feel suffocated. His eyes were fixed on it. From now on, the plane would listen to his command.
The plane was a long plane, and major general Kenneth was on it. At this time, he sat in the co pilot's position and looked at the sky in the distance. Suddenly, he saw a place thousands of meters higher than his own side, and there were flashes of light.
There are at least 14000 meters. At that high altitude, what plane is it?
The idea flashed in his mind for a moment, and major general Kenneth knew that the situation was bad.
Throughout this era, there are very few planes that can fly to an altitude of more than 14000 meters. It can even be said that only a few reconnaissance planes can fly, but there are a lot of fighters ahead!
It's frightening to think of a fighter that can fly to 14000. What a terrible existence will it be?
"Attention, right ahead, a group of fighters appears. Shrink the formation and prepare for self-defense. " Major general Kenneth shouted on the radio.
At this time, those bright spots flickered more, the height was decreasing, and the other party began to dive!
The one flying in front is Novotny, an experienced flying veteran, who can see the huge bomber formation from a distance. From the appearance, it is very similar to his own junker-290. However, there is no unique black cross sign on the wing, only a red five-star. Needless to say, it must be American bombers!
They really came for a sneak attack, and even they didn't hesitate to make a circle?
"Attention, prepare to attack, Musketeer formation." Norwatney shouted on the radio.
The formation of musketeers is a new tactic created by them recently. When shooting, the ancient Musketeers were lined up in two rows, half squatting in front and standing in the back. Then they held their guns and fired together.
Now, after receiving the order from Novotny, the jets quickly changed their formation. Soon, they also became two rows, with an upper and lower height of less than five meters and a front-rear distance of only 20 meters. The rear row is in the gap of the front row.
From a distance, it is like two long barrages blocking the approach of each other's aircraft. At this time, both sides fly head-on.
24 jets, two rows in front and back, soon fell to a height of 10000 meters. They were on the same level with each other, about 100 meters higher than each other. Their actions were neat and uniform. They were all experienced veterans.
"Note that the speed is reduced to 400." Novotny continued to give new orders.
Now, the two sides are flying head-on, and the relative speed is very high. If you want to improve the hit rate, you must reduce this relative speed. Storm birds can fly as fast as 1000 kilometers per hour, and now 400 is almost the slowest speed they can fly at high altitude.
The distance between the two sides is still decreasing sharply. The B-29 bomber formation is shrinking rapidly. The front 444 bomber brigade is arranged in a dense formation and continues to fly forward. They have to break through the other side's intercept line.
Major general Kenneth felt something bad.
From him, we can clearly see each other's aircraft. The lack of propeller is the biggest feature. At the same time, there is a big hole in the nose. It is obvious that this is a German jet fighter, a quite mysterious model with unparalleled performance.
If you are the other side, you should dive down from a high altitude. Only in this way can you find your weakness. Due to the elevation of the aerial gun, the firepower in the back direction is always the weakest. Your formation is to form cross firepower and make up for the defensive defect of 90 degrees.
But now, instead of using their height advantage to dive, the other side has lined up a straight-line interception formation in front. Do they intend to use aerial artillery when they get close?
How is that possible!
The relative speed of the two sides is very fast. When they get close to the distance of the aerial gun, they only have a short firing distance, and then they will cross relatively. In this way, the other party has to turn around and catch up. During this time, their own side has been able to enter the bombing distance, and they can throw bombs tens of kilometers away at high altitude.
Does the other party have any strange new weapons?
Major general Kenneth's heart sank when he thought of this. I'm afraid this judgment is correct, because the Germans never lack new weapons. They can always make some strange weapons.
However, no matter what new weapons the other side has, its own side should continue to forge ahead. There is no second choice.
This is the destiny of the bomber.
At this time, William, the navigator and bomber in front, also saw the interceptor aircraft in front. His eyes briefly turned from the bombing sight. Because his position was the lowest, he could see the underside of the other party's wing from here. When he saw the things hanging there, William couldn't help shouting: "they have Rockets!"
The range of the machine gun is too close. Shooting when flying is not dangerous, but the rocket is different. It is a surface killing weapon!
If you don't believe it, ask the ground troops what they fear most? It's called the Chirac organ, and now it's the thing opposite!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
