Chapter 1184 Stuka attack
The request for an attack was quickly agreed. In fact, before approval, Franz was already flying his Stuka bomber, circled in the air, and came to the end of the opponent's formation.
The flares were not released, so Franz was not sure how many bombers there were now. Now, take advantage of the other party not knowing his position and take the next one first!
When he was just in service, the Stuka bomber had good maneuverability and could even abuse some of his opponent's biplane. However, now, the performance of Stuka has lagged behind and can only be used as a professional bomber.
It mainly mounts bombs through belly mounts. At the same time, in order to help ground troops eliminate opponents, like other aircraft, it also has a Bofos 40mm cannon and a 7.9mm machine gun.
Of course, machine cannons are more suitable for dealing with bombers, especially their machine cannon shells, which are alternated with armor-piercing incendiary bombs and tracer shells, and high-explosion bombs. This kind of shell is more suitable for dealing with bombers.
Franz felt his breathing was a little rapid. In the past, dive bombing was so exciting that he never nervous. After all, the attack targets were different. It used to be an attack on the ground, but now it is an attack on the air and the largest bomber of the Soviets.
The bleak moonlight shone down, and the Stuka bomber was a blurry black shadow, slowly approaching the larger black shadow in front.
The distance gradually approached, and Ye Jinni looked no more than one hundred meters. Only at this distance could he have the confidence to hit the opponent, but at the same time, it was easy to collide, so he had to be fast.
After taking another breath, he adjusted his position and pressed the cannon button.
"Bangbang!" The Bofos cannon hanging in the turret on one side of the wing roared, and the cannon's muzzle came out, accompanied by a strong cannon flash.
Ordinary aircraft like to use shaft cannons, which can be convenient for aiming, but for night fighters, this is definitely a disaster. The flash of the cannon's muzzle will blind people instantly.
Therefore, night fighters use cannons on the wings or belly. Now, when the cannon is firing, Ye Jinni skillfully twists his head aside. After only three cannons, he quickly pulls up his plane.
With a tracer, the shell accurately drilled into the rear of the Pep-8 bomber behind. The 40mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb first opened a large hole on it, and then started burning.
For machine guns, the power of 20mm caliber is actually quite large. After all, many aircraft in this era only use machine guns. Now, as long as one of the 40mm cannons is hit, there is no possibility of surviving!
Pei-8 first shook for a while, then the fuselage was torn apart. The plane continued to fly forward for a second, then rolled and fell down, and the fuselage caught fire.
At this moment, there were constant exclamations from the radio: "Night fighter, we were ambushed by night fighter!"
In the darkness, they saw nothing, but heard the sound of machine cannons, and then their bombers were shot down, which made them immediately determine that they were the enemy's night fighter!
Upon hearing this news, Major General Mikhail frowned immediately. He was still over the Baltic Sea. He didn't expect that he would be ambushed by German night fighters here?
"According to the second plan," Mikhail shouted loudly in the radio: "Reduce the flight altitude and we go into 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 in order to increase the range and reduce fuel consumption, bombers must also fly at high altitudes as much as possible.
Now, since it has been discovered by the German night fighter jets, you have to lower the altitude immediately! Flying to a low altitude, neither their ground radar nor the airborne radar on the plane will be able to detect them.
The front db-3 bombers cannot do this because their fuel is only enough to travel around the high altitude, but the Pel-8 bombers are more than enough because they use fuel-efficient diesel engines.
Even if they take off from Petersburg, that's reachable.
At the same time, this tortuous route can also escape the interception of German fighter jets. According to their existing reconnaissance, the Germans did not arrange night fighter jet troops in these areas.
Now, as a bomber was shot down, they immediately changed their tactics, the pilot pushed the operating rod, and the bomber began to bow his head forward, change his course, and enter low altitude.
"No, they have to get into the low altitude!" said the machine gunner in the back cabin.
"Throw flares," Franz said. "Let's determine how many Pel-8 bombers there are."
The machine gunner threw the flares down. Two seconds later, the flares, with the parachute, began to release their brilliance, illuminating the surrounding night sky and illuminating the bombers that were sweeping down.
"There are 10 more." The machine gunner said.
"Now, let's catch up and give the Soviets some great things!" Franz pushed the operating rod, and Stuka began to dive down.
Just after beating one, Franz immediately climbed up to prevent colliding with the Pet-8, which he was attacked by him. Now, the Soviet bomber was lowering its height, and Stuka could skillfully dive down.
During the dive, a whistle sounded on Stuka's landing gear.
"Yes, it's the Stuka bomber!" Lieutenant Varisi raised his head in surprise while lowering the height. He heard the sound of the sharp whistle. At the same time, under the flares, he had seen the plane coming to attack, which was the most familiar Stuka of the Inverted Seagull Wing!
Is it this kind of bomber that shot down its own bomber just now? What's the matter?
The dive Stuka dived towards a bomber in front of him. When he was about to open fire, Lieutenant Varissi immediately shouted: "Captain Alexander, hurry up, turn right!"
Fortunately, there were flares thrown by the opponent, which allowed him to see the direction clearly. Now, with his call, the bomber in front was turning rapidly, and the tracer bomb trajectory swept over Captain Alexander's plane. If it weren't for his reminder, he would have been shot down!
Just as the light of the flare was about to go out, Lieutenant Varisi's pupils dilated. The Stuka bomber turned casually in the air and rushed the back towards him. Then, in the seat behind the Stuka bomber, the machine gunner skillfully aimed, and the 7.9mm machine gun bullets flew towards him like a pour!
The opponent's actions were not a bit of a drag, and even as the opponent could not help but cheer for the opponent, but the bullets were flying towards Lieutenant Varissi's plane.
The bullets were shot over and covered the entire plane. Lieutenant Varisi had no choice but to pull his plane back up to avoid the barrage.
Just as he was circling and rising, he heard the sound of bullets colliding from his fuselage, and then several red lights flashed on the dashboard in front of him.
