The request for an attack was quickly agreed. In fact, before approval, Franz had already driven his Stuka bomber and circled in the air to the end of the opponent's formation.
The flares were not released, so Franz couldn't be sure how many bombers there are now. Now, taking advantage of the opponent's ignorance of his position, he will fight the next one!
When it first came into service, the Stuka bomber had good maneuverability and could even abuse some opponent's biplanes, but now, the performance of the Stuka has fallen behind and can only be used as a professional bomber.
It is mainly used to mount bombs through the ventral pylon. At the same time, in order to help the ground forces eliminate opponents, like other aircraft, it is also equipped with a Bofors 40mm cannon and a 7.9mm machine gun.
To deal with bombers, of course the cannon is more suitable, especially its cannon shells, which alternate between armor-piercing incendiary bombs and tracer shells, and high-explosive shells. Such shells are more suitable to deal with bombers.
Franz felt that his breathing was a little bit quicker. In the past, the dive bombing was so exciting, and it did not make him nervous. After all, the target of the attack was different. It used to attack the ground, but now it is an air attack, or The biggest bomber of the Soviets.
The bleak moonlight shone, and the Stuka bomber was a vague shadow, slowly approaching the larger shadow in front.
The distance is gradually approaching, and Yejinni's vision does not exceed 100 meters. Only at this distance can he be confident to hit the opponent, but at the same time, it is easy to collide, so he must be fast.
Taking another breath, he adjusted his position and pressed the cannon button.
"Tom Tom Tom!" The Bofors cannon hung in the turret on one side of the wing roared. The muzzle of the cannon emitted a burst of gunpowder, accompanied by a strong flash of cannon.
Ordinary aircraft like to use shaft guns, which can facilitate aiming, but for night fighters, this is definitely a disaster. The flash of the gun’s muzzle can instantly blind people.
Therefore, night fighters use cannons on the wings or belly. Now, when the cannons are firing, Ye Jinni skillfully twists his head to the side. After firing three shots, he quickly pulls. Started his own plane.
With a trace of light, the shell accurately penetrated the rear of the fuselage of the Pe-8 bomber behind. The 40mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb first opened a large hole in it, and then it burned.
For machine guns, the power of 20 mm caliber is not small. After all, many aircraft in this era use machine guns. Now, as long as one of the 40 mm cannon shells hits, there is no possibility of surviving. !
Pei-8 shook first, and then the rear fuselage was torn. The plane continued to fly forward for a second, then rolled and fell down, and the fuselage caught fire.
At this time, the radio continued to exclaim: "Night fighter, we were ambushed by night fighter!"
In the darkness, they didn't see anything, they just heard the sound of machine guns, and then their bomber was shot down, which made them immediately judge that it was an enemy night fighter!
Hearing this news, Major General Mikhail frowned. He was still above the Baltic Sea. Didn't expect that he would be ambushed by a German night fighter here?
"According to plan number two." Mikhail yelled on the radio: "Lower the altitude and we enter a low-altitude flight. Change course, enter the coasts of Estonia and Latvia, cross the Baltic Sea, and then turn to Berlin!"
In this era, due to technical limitations, radar can only be used at high altitudes, and bombers must fly as high as possible in order to increase their range and reduce fuel consumption.
Now, since it has been spotted by the German night fighter, it must be lowered immediately! Flying to low altitude, neither their ground radar nor the aircraft's airborne radar can detect them.
The previous DB-3 bombers could not do this because they only had enough fuel for high-altitude round trips, but the Pe-8 bombers were more than enough because they used fuel-efficient diesel engines.
Even if they took off from Petersburg, it would still be reachable.
At the same time, this tortuous route can also avoid the interception of German fighters. According to their existing reconnaissance, the Germans did not deploy night fighter troops in these areas.
Now, as a bomber was shot down, they immediately changed their tactics. The pilot pushed the joystick, and the bomber began to bow its head forward, change its course, and entered low altitude.
"No, they are going to go low!" said the gunner in the rear compartment.
"Throw flares." Franz said: "We first determine how many Pe-8 bombers there are."
The machine gunner threw the flares down. Two seconds later, the flares took the parachute and began to emit light, illuminating the surrounding night sky and illuminating the bombers that were diving down.
"There are 10 more," the machine gunner said.
"Now, let's catch up again, and show the Soviets some great things!" Franz pushed the joystick, and Stuka began to dive down.
Just after knocking down one, Franz immediately climbed up to prevent a collision with the Pe-8 that was attacked by him. Now, the Soviet bomber is lowering its altitude, and Stuka can proficiently descend. Dived.
During the dive, the whistle rang on Stuka's landing gear ~www.novelhall.com~.
"God, it was the Stuka bomber!" As he lowered his height, Lieutenant Varisi raised his head in surprise. He heard the sound of the sharp whistle. At the same time, under the illumination of the flare, he had already seen the front. The plane that came to attack turned out to be the most familiar Stuka with the inverted seagull wing!
Is it just this kind of bomber that shot down your own bomber? What is this called?
The dived Stuka dived towards a bomber in front of him, and was about to open fire. Lieutenant Varisi immediately shouted: "Lieutenant Alexander, quickly, turn right!"
Fortunately, the flares thrown by the other party allowed him to clearly see the direction. Now following his call, the bomber in front is turning quickly. The tracer's trajectory swept past the side of Captain Alexander's plane. Just now if there was no reminder from him , Must have been shot down!
Just as the light of the flares was about to go out, Lieutenant Varisi’s pupils dilated, and the Stuka bomber turned around in the air and rushed its back towards him. Then, the Stuka bomber’s On the back seat, the machine gunner aimed skillfully, the 7.9 mm machine gun bullets, if they were pouring, flew towards him!
The opponent's movements were done without any drag, and even as an opponent, he couldn't help but cheer for the opponent, but the bullets flew towards Lieutenant Varisi's plane.
The bullet came over and covered the entire plane. Lieutenant Warisi was helpless and could only avoid the barrage by pulling up his plane again.
As he hovered up, he heard the sound of bullets colliding from his body, and then, on the dashboard in front of him, several red lights flashed. ()
