The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1802: Ambush Four

"What's the situation?" Suddenly, Lieutenant Colonel McCarten noticed that his plane shook suddenly, and then a series of red photoelectrics flew up from under his feet. He couldn't see the direction of the attack because of vision problems. He could only accelerate desperately to pull up the plane and try to disengage. According to his experience, the effective range of the air-to-air machine gun is very close. As long as it runs fast, it is not a big problem, but unfortunately, this time, the Germans are deployed around. With 2 40MM machine guns and 4 machine guns, after throwing off the long whip behind him, he was caught by the oncoming 40MM gun!

This time, the British royal ace pilot who shined in history was unable to turn the decay into magic once again. A shell hit the cockpit, and the violent explosion also shattered him and his plane. , And the German pilot who had escaped by chance did not know that he had "killed" a British ace!

   The worst thing in a war is that one step directly into the opponent's preset battlefield without knowing it. Every step is calculated and targeted by the opponent. The British seemingly large-scale four fighter squadrons have been left under the attack of Bavarian air and ground forces. At this time, the Red Baron’s interceptor unit will directly face the British bomber unit, and the remaining more than 40 large bombers are huddling in the air like fat sheep surrounded by wolves. When seeing the K4M interceptor approaching quickly from a distance, the British felt that their blood was frozen! As the spearhead of the entire fleet is a fighter jet painted in gold and red!

"It's the Red Devil! He came to the Western Front!" Although Richthofen spends most of his time on the Eastern Front and the Balkans, his name has spread throughout the Allied pilots, especially his slick camouflage. , Has become synonymous with death in the eyes of Allied pilots!

"This is the easiest hunt for me in three months." Watching the scattered camel fighters being entangled by one's own fighting again, watching the heavy bombs in front of them are struggling to regroup. Richthofen said comfortably. And the four 20MM cannons on the nose of his plane are already hungry!

   Compared with the fight between fighters and the contest between bombers and interceptors, more attention is paid to protection, firepower and speed. It gives people a head-to-head feeling, but in fact, before the end of the second war, the confrontation between bombers and interceptors was like this. The American B17 would be equipped with a large number of armor plates and controlled by a unified internal fire control. Several machine guns. The German interceptor will also add hundreds of kilograms of armor protection, and at the same time will put more and larger caliber aircraft guns and even 280MM rockets on the plane! Under normal circumstances, if there is no fighter to cover, the bomber facing the interceptor is very cheating....

   Like now! The fully optimized K4M interceptor is like a fire hedgehog all over! There are four 20MM machine guns in the nose, and two 12.7MM machine guns on the fuselage. In the rear seat driver's position, there are two 12.7MM machine guns that are handed over to the rear seat driver (radio) operator to control! Although this kind of firepower is put in the second battle, it is not as good as an F190A8 submachine. (In addition to the 4 20MM cannons and 2 machine guns on the 190A8 submachine, it can also be equipped with two double 20MM cannon pods.) But at present, this kind of firepower is enough to tell the British what it is. Up!

The first wave of impact was a formation of more than 20 interceptors that forced a breakthrough from the front of the British bomber unit. When the two sides approached 600 meters, the British could clearly see a frontal fire like a tide that quickly passed from the German fleet. With a frontal look, a steel storm composed of thousands of shells easily smashed the front British bomber into fragments. With a series of explosions, countless fragments and flames jumped up and down in the British bomber group. The powerful firepower instantly Disintegrating the British resistance and psychological defense, the British pilots desperately operated the aircraft, trying to escape from the fleet.

   What do you say? Facing the Lions, you just need to run faster than your teammates. So some people hope to avoid the opponent's hunt by luck, but unfortunately, this time they are not facing a lion, but a German. The other party's goal is not to fill the stomach, but to kill the opponent!

More than 20 interceptors successfully smashed the entire British bomber group in the first wave of attacks. After intercepting the fuselage, it was a road of destruction extending from flames and debris. It was only the first round of collision. At least 8 British bombers were directly destroyed, and at least 10 British bombers suffered moderate damage.

   However, no matter how hard the British bombers are still struggling in the air, their ending has been determined. Most of the members of the British bomber force that have penetrated into the German defense line about 180 kilometers are absolutely unable to return alive! This distance is long enough for the Tracers to kill them several times!

"It seems that the decoys on our ground have been laid out for nothing, and the British bombers can't fall on our heads~lightnovelpub.net~Looking at the sky that has become a pot of porridge in the distance, listening from the distance With the sound of guns and the flowers of flame blooming in the sky from time to time, a German ground air defense officer said lightly.

When the British bomber group finally collapsed, the interceptors of another squadron also entered the battlefield. They were the squadrons. They were in charge of chasing the scattered British bomber units. The K4M intercepted at a maximum speed of 220 kilometers or more. Under the attack of the aircraft, even if the bombs were dropped, most of the British bombers were doomed to escape. These murderous aerial hunters easily caught up, and then took a few seconds to easily take the British bombers worth tens of thousands of pounds from a distance of about 500 meters. Click to kill!

In the final battle called the "Torch Massacre" by the British, only 8 of the 72 bombers finally returned safely. The remaining bombers were either shot down or wounded and became captives of the Germans after forced landing. There are also a small number of bombers. Struggling to fly to his side, some members were saved, but the plane was completely abandoned. And the nearly 80 camel fighters that accompanied the cover finally returned only 20, and the entire 3 fighter squadrons were wiped out! Throughout the battle, the British lost a total of more than 430 crew members!

   This is nothing in the army, maybe one hour, a certain small battlefield is enough to make both sides pay such a heavy price, and it is not a big deal in the navy, just the number of personnel on a cruiser. But this is the air force! Every pilot is very precious! This is equivalent to almost completely abolishing the air cover of at least two armies!
