Chapter 339: Interception

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
"It's so enjoyable!" Colonel Niels witnessed the whole process of the bombing through the observation window. Hundreds of thousands of bombs were dropped from the plane and then rushed to the ground after accelerating in free fall. Then in the ancient city of London A flame formed a flower on the ancient street.
This operation had no practical effect. Although the city of London has a long history and is the core of the United Kingdom, the city has few heavy industrial targets. Bombing here has little effect on destroying the British war potential. There is only one meaning in bombing here, which is to deter British high-level officials and let them remember how dangerous it is to assassinate the German head of state.
"Gentlemen, the bombing is finished! Those British guys should remember us! Now, we start to return home!" Niles haha ​​commanded in the intercom with a laugh: "All aircraft began to accelerate to climb, altitude 9000 meters."
The buzzing sound grew louder, the butcher bomber's engine began to make a pleasant sound, the huge strategic bomber began to rise slowly, and soon passed the clouds and flew toward the predetermined route. If there is no accident, as long as they fly for about an hour, they can see the Air Force's fighter fleet, and they have completely returned to safety.
"All machine gunners are on alert! We need to fly by ourselves for almost an hour to meet the reinforcements. This time we have to rely on ourselves!" Niels said loudly, holding the phone.
Along with his voice, the British anti-aircraft position began to fight back. The shells hit the sky like no money. Most of them are large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and their accuracy and density are not high. It seems that the British's indigenous anti-aircraft firepower has not yet fully reflected.
But good luck was not always accompanied by this strategic bomber force led by Colonel Niels. After only a few minutes, they encountered the first real challenge in this operation.
"Colonel Niels! Colonel Niels! British fighter forces appeared behind us! They were climbing, they were climbing!" An aircraft flying around reported what he saw.
Colonel Niels looked at the altimeter. Now they have reached an altitude of about 8,000 meters. According to the information provided by the intelligence department, except for a few smuggled me-109c improved fighters, it seems that there are no other fighters in the UK that can fly. To a height of about 8000.
But now the situation is that these fighters have climbed to an altitude of about 8,000 meters, and it seems that these new British fighters can climb higher.
Fortunately, these British fighter planes came after them, so it took a lot of effort to get closer, so Colonel Niels calmly arranged the formation of the bomber formation to confirm everyone's defensive mission. He then ordered the bomber group to continue to climb higher, climbing to a height of 9000 meters to see how the British fighters reacted.
Niels suddenly discovered that other countries in the world were not standing still, and the pace of development was not much slower than that of Germany. When Germany came up with a long-range strategic bomber, Britain also came up with a fighter that could fly to such a high altitude to fight-it seems that bombing the UK in the future will not be an easy task.
Soon, the accelerated flight of butcher bombers raised the altitude to 9,000 meters, and the British fighters behind it seemed to have reached the limit of flight altitude. They maintained an altitude of about 8,700 meters and approached the bottom of the butcher bomber's tail.
"Suddenly! Suddenly!" The guns at the rear of the butcher bomber fired. Compared to fighters, these freely rotating cannons are obviously more flexible. At least when trailing attacks, the speed advantage of the fighter is compressed to a minimum, which means It is easier to be locked and aimed.
British fighter pilots are obviously also veterans, and they know that if they attack by biting their tails, they obviously suffer more. Due to the problem of its own engine, the hurricane fighter's current limit flight altitude is 9600 meters, and flight performance has been affected at a height close to 9000 meters. So their approach is to approach the target from below, then climb up and attack like a fish jumping out of the water, and then descend and return.
However, it is clear that the lower part is also a key area for the fire protection of the butcher bomber. There is a double-barreled 30 mm cannon that is controlled by the female gunner. So as soon as these British aircraft entered the fire range, the German strategic bomber's counterattack began.
If the previous Air Force fighter fighting was a duel between knights, then the current fighter assault bomber formation battle is a and fierce battle of positions. There is no more skill here at all, it is purely a cruel competition between the firepower of both sides.
The German side relied on a 30 mm caliber cannon mounted on the tail and belly, while the British pilot was equipped with a 7.7 mm caliber machine gun. However, in terms of firepower density, British fighters are slightly superior, because each hurricane fighter is equipped with eight 7.7 mm caliber machine guns.
These German girls who served on the bomber, they turned the turret, aimed at the target, and then pulled the trigger to fire at the approaching British fighters. Unlike direct attacks on soldiers, these female gunners are still very competent in attacking some non-human metal planes. They have no mental pressure at all, just pull the trigger and watch the other party drag the long black smoke to fall.
Of course, there will be accidents, such as this moment. In a turret beneath the belly of a butcher bomber, a female pilot aimed at a hurricane fighter, and soon she pulled the trigger and fired a string of shells.
The plane was still far away, not ready to climb and attack, so the entire cockpit was facing the butcher bomber above, so the German female gunner saw her bullet hit the cockpit of the plane by coincidence. , Beat the driver inside into a state of minced meat.
The cannonball of the cannon easily shattered the plexiglass hatch of the plane, then easily broke the pilot inside, and then penetrated the bottom of the plane, causing the plane to fall with smoke and broken The red blood stains on the hatch made people startle.
"Oh! Ogh!" Seeing the tragic situation after hitting the opponent, the female gunner began to vomit violently. This was her first attack, and naturally the first time she had killed in her life. The severe discomfort made her forget to fire, and the British pilot seemed to finally find the only flaw in the German bomber formation.
The hurricane fighters, like smelling flies, began to pounce on this temporarily dull fire area, and the distance between the two sides also narrowed down a lot. The British Air Force's 7.7 mm caliber machine gun began to exert its power. The belly of the German bomber with a stern fire was hit by a bullet in a row of holes.
"We were hit! We were hit! Someone was injured!" A German machine gunner carrying a 13 mm caliber machine gun on both sides ready to fire shouted loudly because of the machine gunner on his side He was hit by a bullet and was screaming.
"The cannon below us has not responded! The cannon below us has not responded!" The pilot on the co-pilot confirmed it twice and said aloud: "The machine gunner on the side! Go and see the shooter on the belly what happened!"
"God! Continue to ascend! We need cover! Revenge 35 needs cover! We need to climb! Please approve our climb!" A crisp sound made on the bulletproof steel plate on the left side of the driver. He was so scared that he quickly applied for cover. And began to let the plane continue to climb the height.
"Fill in the hole left by Revenge 35! Stay in formation! We have entered the English Channel! Hold on for a while!" Niels frowned and approved the request of Revenge 35: "What happened just now? Why do you guys Don't fight back? "
"Damn it! The British fighter can fly to a height of 9000 meters. How is this possible!" The machine gunner on the Bomb Revenge 35 crawled in the narrow passage, complaining while looking at the bullet holes left in some places: " Do n’t get hit again! I do n’t want to fall so high! "
He muttered while crawling forward, all the way to the side of a small hatch in the abdomen of the plane, and then pulled the small door open. The cold wind rushed in, blowing him so that he couldn't open his eyes. He had to close the door quickly, and then tightened the closing knob.
He took his goggles and wrapped his leather jacket tightly. Then he twisted the and opened the door. Then he carefully looked at the inside.
The entire turret was hit by machine guns with bullet holes, and some places had broken into slap-like holes because they could not withstand the damage of the airflow. The vomiting female gunner had been hit in the chest by the machine gun. The whole person was still seated on the seat because of the seat belt, but because he was dead, his limbs were swinging back and forth with the airflow.
Because of the violent airflow, the entire turret was covered with blood stains. It seemed to make people feel nausea and urge to vomit. The machine gunner who came to check quickly closed the small hatch and blocked the influx. Cold wind.
He crawled back hard, and stopped talking with a cold face. For the first time, he saw a corpse pierced in the lungs by a machine gun. For the first time, he saw a turret. For the first time, he saw a woman die so miserably.
When he returned to his position and hung the headphones on his ears, he realized that his hands were still shaking. Pressing the switch of the talker, he resisted the urge to vomit and said: "The belly turret was destroyed and Bellina was dead."
