Chapter 1639： Dive attack

In air combat, the right formation can exert the greatest power.

Experts in air combat have noticed this very early, and have proposed various formation plans, from four-aircraft formation to three-aircraft formation and so on.

The four-machine diamond formation looks good, but the last one is almost useless, and the three-machine formation has gradually become popular. However, as the speed of the aircraft is getting faster and faster, it is already very difficult to maintain a dense formation of multiple aircraft, or it may cause air collisions. In the era of jet aircraft, the speed has further increased. In this case, only one of the most common solutions for dual aircraft formation remains.

The long-line attack and the wingman cover, if the position is right, the wingman can switch to the attack state at any time, so that the two sides cooperate with each other to attack the enemy together, which is the best tactic for the jet.

Although there are still fifty kilometers, it is only a few minutes for a fighter plane flying at 1,000 kilometers per hour.

The two Junkers turbojet engines made a roaring hiss, and the aviation fuel continuously entered the combustion chamber through the oil pump and turned into hot gas, pushing the fighter forward. The tail engine brought efficiency optimization, 24 aircraft The silver-white fighter planes, like a tiger descending a mountain, headed toward the American fighter plane formation.

At this time, the 339th Fighter Squadron was still flying steadily at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Major Michael looked at his compass, then looked below, and shouted on the radio: "Attention, in the airspace ahead, prepare to turn, pass through Sval The Ba Islands flew south and turned into ultra-low-altitude flight two minutes later."

Svalbard, an archipelago in eastern Greenland and northern Finland. According to the plan, this is a turning point for them.

As long as they enter the ultra-low altitude, no one will find them. The only thing they need to worry about is that they are on the right route and not flying in the wrong direction.

No one looked back.

There is almost no backward vision of any fighter in this era, even if it is a Mustang fighter, the cockpit is raised to give the pilot a good vision. Observations from the back are still futile and belong to an absolute blind spot.

Many people may not understand it, but when the airplane was manufactured, it was like this. The pilot had a seat behind him. How much did he twist his neck if he wanted to look back? I have been practicing acrobatics since childhood.

At the same time, no one would bother to look backwards. In the air, if you want to look backwards, just push the joystick, push the rudder, and fly over.

Just like an airplane decelerating in the air, there is no brake during flight, but as long as the pilot pulls up the airplane and the fuselage is erected, the air resistance can be used to quickly slow down. It's that simple.

Now, the pilots of the entire formation are still immersed in the excitement of the upcoming great combat mission. In particular, before they leave the radio contact, they have received confirmation from the rear intelligence system that Cyrik is already at the Berlin airport and took off by plane. Up! The time and route are almost exactly the same, exactly as they inferred.

They can be successful!

Eighteen Mustang fighters were scattered in a large formation in the sky, flying in darkness.

Pilot Ren, flying his own Mustang fighter jet, flies at the end of the formation. He is the last to take off. At the same time, he is a substitute type in the flight mission and will only appear at the last moment.

At this time, he was not nervous. As a pilot who entered the US Army Air Force after the Pearl Harbor incident, he was already a veteran flying bird before he joined the army.

The fighters in his hand also made him full of confidence. Various data proved that the performance of this aircraft is definitely not worse than the most advanced German FW190. Even if it is fighting with the advanced German fighters, he can bravely Get down the opponent's plane!

At this moment, following the end of the formation, he was a bit idle, thinking of his lover far away in New York in his mind. Since entering the army, they have gathered less and separated more, especially after flying a Mustang fighter. I can't make calls anymore.

After so long, I wonder if the lover has changed his heart?

At this moment, he felt something unusual on the top of his head.

Two plumes of white smoke stretched over his head. Although he was thinking, after feeling the strangeness in the corner of his eye, the brain still used the idle process to complete the signal transmission.

So, he raised his head, and reflected in his retina, it was already that terrible fighter!

The first feature of the opponent is that there is no propeller!

Although the German jet has been developed for several years, the secrecy has been done well, and after entering the battlefield, almost everyone who had seen it died, whether it was a jet fighter or a bomber.

So until now, the German jet is still a top-secret existence. For most people, when they see an airplane without a propeller, the first glance is surprise, the second is surprise, and the third is the reaction. , Still surprised.

The opponent swooped down from a higher airspace. When it swooped down, it did not attack the enemy aircraft at the tail, but directly rushed towards the center of the formation.

The center is blooming!

To deal with a dense formation, as long as you smash it down from the middle and smash the middle one, then the whole formation will disperse.

This is the most common way to deal with bomber formations. After all, ~www.novelhall.com~ bombers need to rely on their own intensive self-defense firepower to complete the task of defending themselves.

Multiple bombers leaned closely together to form an aerial fortress. They used self-defense weapons to open fire and turned into hedgehogs, making it impossible for enemy planes to start.

At this time, it is most appropriate to smash down the hedgehog from the middle.

This is not the perfect way to deal with this fighter formation, but now Walter can’t think of too much. When they came down from a high altitude, they faced such a huge fleet, so Walter came down facing the middle. Up.

Inside the aiming ring, the target got bigger and bigger. When Walter pressed the red button on the joystick, Renn reacted. He yelled loudly on the radio: "Attention, German fighter!"

"Tom Tom Tom!" Walter's fighter plane, under the nose and on both sides of the wings, made a loud noise with 20 mm cannons. Each gun fired at three points, nine high-explosive 20 mm shells. Flew out of the muzzle and flew towards the target!

The entire Storm Bird has now become a violent bird, and the 20 mm cannon it uses is even more frantic.
