Stuka bombers are fighting over Dover, while in Plymouth, they are hs129 flying across the Strait!

Compared with Stuka, the most important thing of this aircraft is to have sufficient armor protection. As a floor sweeper, it has bathtub armor, which makes it the most powerful survivability in ground gunfire.

At the same time, the previous aircraft, limited by the engine, could only use the domestic backward engine of 700 horsepower, resulting in insufficient power. All this changed after beating France.

Various industries in France, including the aviation industry, have been inherited by Germany. German technicians turned out the "Spain Switzerland" 12y31 engine from France. This engine made in France can output 860 HP, which is a bit higher than the original 700 HP engine.

At the same time, German technicians used their own technology to improve the unreliable heat dissipation system of the engine and improve the output power, so that the engine can stably output 920 horsepower. Although it can not be compared with the Navy's 1200 horsepower engine, it is also much better than the original one.

The increase in power makes it easier for the aircraft to fly, the maneuverability has been improved, and the bomb load has also been greatly improved.

In the past, only 12 rounds of 40mm air gun shells must be used carefully. Now, the shells of this air gun have been expanded to 120 rounds!

At this time, in the cabin, Captain Webb was driving his fighter with great interest. They prepared for this attack for a long time. Everyone remembered the target they wanted to attack!

Captain Webb's target is a large number of low altitude air defense balloons near Plymouth base command!

In this era, there are many methods for air defense. Fighter planes can be dispatched to intercept, ground anti-aircraft guns can also be used, and in important places, balloons, an ancient equipment, can also be used.

This is the weapon that makes the attacker speechless. It's a little shameless!

Most of the balloons used in Britain are low altitude interception balloons 62 feet long and 25 feet in diameter,

Each balloon can be filled with 19000 cubic feet of hydrogen, and its maximum altitude is usually 1500 meters.

In order to protect vulnerable locations from low flying aircraft and dive bombers, balloons are randomly dispersed over potential targets that may be attacked.

Many planes need low altitude bombing to improve their hit rate. Now, once they fly at low altitude, they are easy to hit the cable of the balloon.

Although the balloon is very big, the cable hanging the balloon is very thin, which is almost difficult for the pilot to see with his naked eye.

When the cable is hung, the cutting chains at both ends of the cable will separate the cable. So the plane continued to fly with the main part of the cable about a mile long. Fixed at the end of the cable is a floating canvas parachute with a diameter of about 2.44 meters.

This thing is equivalent to a deceleration parachute. The aircraft will soon fully open it, and this parachute can produce a combined pull of about 6 times the thrust of the bomber's engine.

It was like suddenly bumping into something. The umbrella behind opened and the plane stopped almost immediately. As a result, it fell out of the air.

After the cable is separated from the balloon, a line connected to the balloon can tear off a huge patch on the balloon. In this way, hydrogen can be released to make the balloon land slowly to the ground. It's ironic that balloons can be reused.

For the assigned task, Captain Weber is quite speechless. He prefers to fight some valuable, such as anti-aircraft gun positions on the ground, but now he must obey orders as his bounden duty.

He flew his own attack plane over the base at 1500 meters. Soon, he saw those big air defense balloons opposite. At this time, the balloons were drifting with the wind.

He aligned his sight with the other party's balloon, and the 40mm boforth gun hanging from the belly of the machine below also turned. Then he pressed the red button.

"Bang!" The recoil force of the 40mm machine gun when firing is quite strong. This recoil force even makes the powerful attack aircraft vibrate.

The 40mm incendiary bomb easily broke the balloon in front, and then a huge flame appeared in the sky.

Once, the airship was brilliant for a long time, and then it declined. The hydrogen filled in it was easy to explode!

The flame, nothing to see, he turned his muzzle and hit the second balloon.

In the sky, the red fireworks look gorgeous.

This is the most boring target shooting task!

When he knocked out the last anti-aircraft balloon, he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted on the radio: "airspace 8 has been cleared and can be bombed."

Just after shouting, he saw small black flowers around him, which were the shells of anti-aircraft guns!

It's great. There are anti-aircraft artillery positions below!

"Find the anti-aircraft artillery position and dive." Captain Webb shouted on the radio that he had just hit these balloons with less than 20 shells and hundreds more!

Englishman, I'm coming!

The engines on both sides were turning at high speed and the nose was down. Captain Webb's attack aircraft began to dive down. Soon, he saw an anti-aircraft gun in the round sandbag on the ground, firing at himself at a high elevation!

That antiaircraft gun is the same boforth antiaircraft gun. It's a duel with the same weapon!

If there were a whistle like Stuka at this time, the sound would be very loud, because its dive has exceeded 500 kilometers per hour! At this speed, the shells from the other party can't hit at all!

In the field of vision, the antiaircraft gun position was getting bigger and bigger. It accurately caught the other party and adjusted the machine gun to the continuous firing mode. Captain Webb pressed the button.

"Bang, bang, bang." The 40mm bofoss machine guns under the belly of the machine are constantly ringing, and shells are shooting down!

"Boom!" The first shell hit the soldier who was pulling the shell. It was almost hit from the head. The brain was smashed in an instant. Then, the upper half of the body exploded!

The second shell hit the open space next to it, and the whole ground seemed to tremble!

The third shell magically penetrated into the muzzle of bofoss antiaircraft gun!

"Boom!" At this time, in the bore, a shell was fired, and the two shells met in the bore. In an instant, a huge explosion came, and the whole barrel was blown into two sections!

Countless pieces flew, and the soldiers around fell down screaming!

When he pulled it up, Captain Webb was not very satisfied. He leveled the plane and began shooting wildly at the small building in front.

That's what the sweeper does.
