Chapter 1768 Jets intercept bombers

"One hundred kilometers, enter the bombing route." Captain William shouted in the sky.

In the blue sea, you can already see the white water splashes on the sea in the distance. In front of each water splash, a warship was sailing, and the entire formation was so huge on the sea.

Hundreds of warships!

The distance of one hundred kilometers seems to be very far, but they must enter the bombing route now and cannot be changed easily.

It's very simple. The VB-1 bomb they carry can only be adjusted left and right. When the bomb falls, it can turn left and right, but cannot change front and back. It will not be able to adjust the distance.

Judging from the radio channel, the number has increased to 47, which is similar to the later VB-3, but its missile body can only be adjusted left and right. It is most suitable to bomb long-shaped targets. If you bomb a warship, you must maintain a good route from a distance.

It's similar to dropping a free fall bomb.

Like last time, each bomber only carries one VB-1 bomb, weighing 1,000 pounds and half a ton. The remaining mounts of the B-29 with a load of ten tons of bombs are loaded with other free-fall bombs.

If it weren't for dive attack, the hit rate of the free-fall bomb was very low. Fortunately, the German fleet was in a dense formation and was densely packed at sea. If it continued to bomb like this, it might be that the blind cat was equipped with dead rats and had additional results. At the same time, a large number of bombs could hide the real attack killer.

William took a deep breath of tension and deep breath. In the supercharged cockpit, it seemed as if the oxygen content was gradually decreasing, which made him feel like he was holding his breath. His eyes were fixed on it, and from now on, the plane had been following his command.

The plane was a long plane, and Major General Kenneth was on it. At this time, he was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the sky in the distance, and suddenly, he saw a few thousand meters higher than his side, shining appeared.

There are at least 14,000 meters there. At such a high altitude, what kind of aircraft is it?

This thought flashed in his mind for only a moment, Major General Kenneth knew that the situation was not good.

Looking at this era, there are quite a few aircraft that can fly to an altitude of more than 14,000 meters. It can even be said that only a few reconnaissance planes can fly to it, but there are a lot of people coming up in front, which is definitely a fighter plane!

It would be terrifying to think about it if you could fly to a fighter jet that could reach a 14,000 fighter jet. What a terrible existence it would be?

"Note that, right ahead, a group of fighter jets appeared. The formation was shrinking and ready to defend themselves." Major General Kenneth shouted loudly in the radio.

At this time, the highlights flickered even more, the height was constantly decreasing, and the other party began to dive!

The one flying in front was Novotney, a veteran of flying. He could see the huge bomber formation from afar. From the appearance, it looked very similar to the Junker-290 on his side, but there was no unique black cross logo on the wings, only a red five-star. Needless to say, it must be an American bomber!

They were indeed here to attack, and they even went around in a circle?

"Be careful, prepare to launch an attack, the formation of musketeers." Novotney shouted in the radio.

The formation of musketeers has only recently developed a new tactic. When ancient musketeers were shooting, they lined up in two rows, half-squatted in front and the back, and then they held their guns and fired together.

The current jets, after receiving the order from Novotney, quickly changed their formation and soon became two rows, with a height of less than five meters above and lower, and a distance of only twenty meters in front and back. The row behind is in the gap in the front row.

From a distance, it was like two long dams blocking each other's aircraft group. At this time, both sides were flying head-on.

The 24 jets, in front and back, soon dropped to a height of 10,000 meters, on the same level as the other party, about one hundred meters taller than the other party, and their movements were neat and uniform, all of them were experienced veterans.

"Note, the speed is reduced to four hundred." Novotney continued to issue new orders.

Now, both sides are flying head-on, with a relatively high speed. If you want to increase the hit rate, you have to reduce this relative speed. The Storm Bird can fly up to 1,000 kilometers per hour at the fastest, and now, four hundred is almost the slowest speed they can fly at high altitudes.

The distance between the two sides was still decreasing sharply. The b-29 bomber formation was shrinking rapidly. The front 444 bomber fleet was arranged in dense formations and continued to fly forward. They had to break through the opponent's interception line.

Major General Kenneth felt something was wrong.

From him, he could clearly see the other party's plane. The biggest feature was that there was no propeller. At the same time, the nose was also exposed. It was obvious that this was a German jet fighter, a very mysterious model, with unparalleled performance.

If you are the opponent, you should be swooping down from a high altitude. Only in this way can you find your weakness. Due to the elevation angle of the air cannon, the firepower in the direction of the back of the aircraft will always be the weakest. Your own formation is to form cross firepower and make up for the defensive defects of the 90-degree angle.

But now, the opponent did not use their height advantage to dive, but instead arranged a straight intercepting formation in front. Are they planning to use aviation guns to bombard them?

How is this possible!

The relative speed of both sides is very fast. When they get close to the distance to the air cannon, they only have a short distance to open fire, and then they will cross it relatively. In this way, the other party has to turn around and chase after it. During this period, they can enter the bomb drop distance, and in the sky, they can throw bombs dozens of kilometers away.

Could it be that the other party has some weird new weapon?

Major General Kenneth felt a little nervous when he thought of this. This judgment was probably the right one, because the Germans have never lacked new weapons, and they can always create some strange weapons.

However, no matter what new weapon the other party has, our party must continue to bite the bullet and move forward, and there is no second choice.

This is the fate of the bomber.

At this time, William, the navigation and bomb thrower in front, also saw the interceptor plane appearing in front. His eyes briefly turned from the bombing sight. Because he was the lowest position, he could see the lower side of the opponent's wing from here. When he saw the things hanging there, William couldn't help but exclaim: "They have rockets!"

The range of the cannon is too close, and it is not very dangerous to shoot when flying, but rockets are different. They are weapons of killing!

If you don’t believe it, ask the ground troops, what are you most afraid of? It’s something called the Cialis organ, and now, this is the thing opposite!
