Night fighters are not born to fight enemy fighters, but to intercept enemy bombers. In this case, it seems that the larger the caliber, the better. After all, bombers are very strong.

But in fact, this is not appropriate.

Because night operations are different from daytime operations, the time for visual detection of targets is very short and the shooting window is small. In this way, pouring a large amount of ammunition in a short time can more effectively increase the hit rate.

When flying in the same direction, German pilots usually use the oblique music system on their back to drill under each other and hit each other with high accuracy. When flying head-on, they use four machine guns shooting forward.

If the caliber is large, it will inevitably lead to low firing speed and small ammunition carrying capacity, which is an irreconcilable contradiction.

In the dark, Prince Wei Yangen's pupils widened, and the night around him seemed no longer dark.

The radar man behind kept reporting the distance.

"Five kilometers."

"Three kilometers."

"One kilometer."

At this moment, Prince Wei Yangen saw the plane opposite! The plane hidden in the dark finally showed its outline. There was almost no time to think. Prince Wei Yangen took the joystick a little and then pressed the button.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

At this moment, all four machine guns opened fire, and dense shells were fired at the opposite side!

The machine gun deployed in the belly has another function, that is to prevent the flame from the muzzle from blinding the pilot!

In the dark, people's pupils will enlarge to accommodate more light. However, if the light suddenly becomes stronger and comes in too much, the retina of the human eye will be damaged.

When the machine gun is under the belly, the fire generated will be blocked by the body so that the two personnel at the nose will not be affected.

This strong light made the C-47 pilot opposite unable to see anything in an instant.

At this time, the C-47 was still flying smoothly. Suddenly, a terrible fire appeared opposite. Before losing his eyesight, the pilot knew that it was the other party's night fighter!

Dense shells covered the entire C-47 fighter, and the barrage made it impossible for the other side's aircraft to avoid.

The whole plane was exploded in an instant, and a huge fireball appeared in the sky.

Almost at the same time, Prince Wei Yangen quickly opened his throttle, and the engines on both sides roared and sent out the maximum power. Then, the operating lever was pulled back to the end. In the huge overload, Prince Wei Yangen's fighter climbed up quickly.

This is the rash tactic created by Prince Wei Yangen alone.

Attack from the front of the US plane at a lightning speed, and then climb to the operational altitude of another US plane before the bomber driven by the nervous US pilot burns!

The first purpose of doing this is to easily avoid death. After all, if you fire at a short distance in relative flight, you may hit it!

In night combat, the greatest danger is air collision.

This also needs the support of the aircraft. The engines on both sides have more than 2000 horsepower, which can make this kind of fighter climb quickly!

Just now, with the help of the light of fire, Prince Wei Yangen saw another bomber behind and above the plane!

When the plane was blasted and burned in the air, the surroundings were even brighter. Prince Wei Yangen just climbed, on the one hand, to avoid the impact, on the other hand, to climb to the height of the other party and continue the attack!

The two C-47 transport planes are towed with gliders at the back. In order not to collide with the gliders in front, the latter must rise to a certain height.

As a result, it became the prey of Prince Wei Yangen.

At the moment when the machine gun fired below, the pilot of the transport plane panicked. He pressed the release button of the glider, and then climbed up recklessly to avoid this terrible danger!

Yes, at this time, you have to throw away the glider!

When towing the glider, the plane in front must fly smoothly. Any slightly expanded maneuver may collide with the glider behind. Now, there is a night fighter in front. He must throw away the burden behind, or he will die together.

Unfortunately, he still didn't avoid the attack. Just when the transport plane below was blasted, the pilot saw that in the dark, the flame lit up a fighter and was rushing towards his position!

"Bang, bang!" The attack was even better than just now. It happened that all of them hit the other side's belly!

The C-47 transport plane broke from the middle in an instant, and countless fragments splashed towards Prince Wei Yangen's plane.

Stepping on the rudder, Prince Wei Yangen pushed the operating lever of the fighter to the right to the end, and a roll while rising brushed past the flying debris.

This feeling made Prince Wei Yangen's adrenaline secrete quickly. He suddenly found that he had liked this feeling.

Since joining the night fighter force, it was boring training every night, but he didn't really enter the actual combat. This time, he finally met his opponent, and destroyed two at one time, which made Prince Wei Yangen feel very happy.

Two enemy planes were killed by Prince Wei Yangen! The wingman in the back also saw everything in the back through the light.

"These two planes, with gliders behind them!"

The radar display needs echo. The transport aircraft are all metal fuselage, which is easy to reflect echo, while the glider is almost wooden structure. At the same time, the glider is very close to the transport aircraft in front. Therefore, the glider will not be displayed on the radar display screen.

This caused chaos to the German night fighter force. When they found two gliders, they had passed by!

After turning around in the air and returning to the other party's course, Prince Wei Yangen shouted on the radio: "release the flare!"

Intercepting aircraft at night can use radar to intercept quickly. At the same time, when the radar cannot intercept the target, it can also turn the night into day, that is, use flares!

Another he219 night fighter pulled up the plane and then threw down a flare.

When the flare just lit up, Prince Wei Yangen closed his eyes. After the pricking pain of his eyelids, he opened his eyes. Using the remaining light of the flare, he immediately saw the glider that was still flying in the original direction!

Catch up, attack!
