"Boom!" The wing with aluminum alloy skin was blown open a big hole, and the fuselage began to tilt to one side.

Philip in front was covered with blood. The glass in front of his cockpit had been broken and a shrapnel hit his chest. He endured severe pain and pushed the operating lever to control the plane. Even if it was a forced landing, he could give the two colleagues behind a chance to escape.

However, when one side of the wing was shot, the plane yawed violently, and he could no longer control it. In the last few seconds of his life, there was a fire in his retina.

The bomber flew up towards a burning oil barrel.

"Boom!" Under the violent impact, the crude oil in the oil barrel shook out, surrounded the whole aircraft and ignited a fire!

At this time, such scenes are staged everywhere.

The Libyan base is the most important to Chirac. Even if the air force cannot be sent to protect it for the time being, the air defense force is absolutely first-class. In addition to a large number of bofoss 40mm anti-aircraft guns, there are also some double barrel 15mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

This kind of anti-aircraft machine gun is also an old gun. It is deformed from the mg151 on the plane. It has double tubes of 15mm, and the firepower is quite ferocious!

When the "battle" bomber was found, the machine gunner pulled the trigger. In the sound of "dada", gunpowder smoke came out, and 15 mm machine gun bullets were fiercely fired at the bomber!

Then, the bomber emitted black smoke and was easily injured!

"No, run!" Just then, an accident happened.

Due to the black smoke, these bombers flew very low. When ambushing them, they were almost close. Now, the wounded bomber actually fell towards its own side!

Several machine gunners ran away quickly. Just after running more than ten meters away, they heard the explosion behind them.

The bomber just fell at the position of the machine gun! When it came into contact with the ground, there was a big explosion and a rolling fireball shrouded the machine gun position just now.

If it weren't for their fast legs, they might have told them there!

The "combat" bomber is an indicator put forward in Britain's behind closed doors. It is a light fast bomber. This bloody lesson tells the British that this bomber is outdated.

The survivability of "combat" is quite poor, and the idea of using speed advantage to get rid of enemy fighters has been completely dashed.

Due to the lack of effective armor protection in the passenger cabin., In the face of the attack from below, the "battle" is particularly vulnerable.

None of the "battle" bombers that entered the thick smoke at ultra-low altitude came back and were completely destroyed!

In fact, this bomber has no good days in future generations,

In 40 years of history, when the German Blitz on Western Europe began, 32 "combat" were ordered to urgently form an attack wave of the Royal Air Force, delaying the German movement in Luxembourg.

They attacked German targets with bombs equipped with delay fuses from an ultra-low altitude of 76 meters. Unfortunately, the German army shot down 13 "combat" with only intensive light weapons fire, and the other aircraft were injured to varying degrees.

The fate of the second attack wave of the "battle" in the afternoon was also very bad. 32 aircraft were shot down by 10 under the joint attack of German anti-aircraft guns and fighters.

On the same day, two "fighters" were shot down when attacking the German army in the Netherlands. All this is just the beginning.

The British sadly found that their bombers were not suitable for war at all.

If you want to attack the ground at ultra-low altitude, you must have heavy armor. Develop flying tanks like IL-2 and hs-129, or use dive bombing like Stuka.

As for the light fast bomber, it's definitely for fun!

The main light fast bomber of the British air force in Egypt was buried in the thick smoke, and the 47th Bomber Squadron hovering in the air has found it bad.

When the light bomber got under the black smoke, there was a stabbing sound in the radio, which was strongly disturbed! Not only are they unable to contact the aircraft below, but they are even difficult to contact each other.

When the Blenheim bombers made a circle around the smoke area, they found that the area was too large, far more than several times the area of the oil field itself.

At this time, squadron captain stoke already knows that the situation is bad. There are problems below!

What should I do? Continue the bombing?

No, it's weird everywhere. It's better to return first!

Stoke made two rounds around the smoke area. He still couldn't wait until the "combat" bomber below. He had decided not to wait any longer. He'd better return first and wait for the information from the intelligence system!

However, the radio was no longer sensitive, so he had to shake the wings to remind the bombers behind him and follow his actions!

The origin of the Blenheim bomber is very special and different from other bombers.

In 1934, sir Rothermere, the owner of the daily mail, wanted Bristol to design and build an aircraft capable of carrying six passengers and two crew members. Used to surpass all kinds of record breaking high-speed aircraft such as German Henkel he70.

The first flight of this aircraft in 35 years immediately showed excellent performance, especially the speed performance reached an amazing record of 498km / h.

Therefore, sir Rothermere proposed to the British air force to change the aircraft to military use. In this way, the light twin bomber with good performance in Britain before World War II was born.

This is a three person bomber. The pilot sits on the nose, and the navigation and bomber sits on the nose. At the back, a bubble cockpit is added to accommodate an aircraft gunner with omni-directional vision.

Of course, usually, the machine gunner is backward, taking care of his own rear hemisphere.

At this time, the gunner Alan sitting in the bubble cockpit was watching the clear sky in the sky with boredom. Then his eyes suddenly opened wide.

A silver bright spot, quickly dive down from the sky!

It must be an enemy plane. Our side has no fighter to escort!

In his vision, the plane was flying fast. He was surprised to see that the plane had no propeller!

At this time, he was so surprised that he didn't give an alarm at all, nor did he operate his own double mounted 7.7mm machine gun. In his mind, there was only one idea. What monster was that plane without propeller? Is it from an alien?
