Chapter 1671: Attack bomber

One island fighter contained four fighters. Now, the entire B-29 bomber group is escorted by only twelve Mustang fighters.
After all, they believe that the islanders do not have the advantage of high altitude, so they enter from a high altitude, and then leave from a high altitude, the fighters just follow it in a circle.
But now, James has found that the situation is not good.
At this time, they were only tens of kilometers above the target. If they had better eyesight, they could already see the sky above the target clearly. There, a fighter plane was flying up there, accelerating toward their side.
If all those who came were Bf109, it would be troublesome, but it should not be so bad, right? Otherwise, why is there nothing in the intelligence?
As the take-off fighter planes continued to climb higher, the tension in their hearts gradually increased. When the opponent climbed to the same height as them, the distance between the two sides was already less than ten kilometers.
"Attention, all the people who came are BF109, dense formation, let us greet with roaring bullets!"
Although in this era, the terrible aircraft Junker-290 has appeared in advance, but for the United States and for Boeing, the B-29 is still a trans-era existence.
In the old days, the altitude of 10,000 meters was almost impossible to achieve. The planes of the island countries were almost all in circles at an altitude of two to three kilometers. The serious problem was the low temperature and lack of oxygen in the high altitude.
For example, the B-17 bomber must wear bulky electrically heated flight suits and obstructive oxygen masks to maintain life when performing missions. Even so, it was cold enough for one time. If you were hit by an oxygen tube during a battle, you would be unconscious for a few minutes. The electric flight suit was interrupted and it would freeze to death.
In short, high altitude is not suitable for human survival.
Especially the machine gunner, sitting in the best panoramic view glass dome, is even more dangerous.
Now, B-29 is different.
It uses a pressurized cockpit. Everyone is in the aircraft, almost wearing half sleeves. At the same time, the turret has also become a remote control turret. The gunner only needs to control the joystick in front of his console.
As a huge aircraft, the B-29 is equipped with five turrets on the nose, back and belly. Each turret is equipped with two 12.7mm machine guns, and the tail turret adds a 20mm gun. Four remote-controlled turrets and 12 12.7mm machine guns in the tail turret, each carrying 1,000 rounds, and the early model tail turret also has a 20mm M2 gun Type B with 100 rounds.
The best part is that they can also control the firing of other artillery when needed. Under the control of the airborne central fire control system, everything is so easy, it's like playing video games for later generations.
This is absolutely terrible firepower deployment. Now, 12 bombers form a dense formation. Then, in all directions, there will be countless air defense firepower. Any fighter that wants to attack them must wear it. Only through their most terrifying air defense system!
They have confidence in their aircraft, and now let the island countries experience despair!
In the lead first bomber, the gunner Dexter was observing the outside through the bubble observation window on the top of him.
According to the distribution, different turrets are controlled by different people. For example, the front turret on the back of the fuselage is usually controlled by the bombardier, the middle gunner on the rear turret, and the front and rear turrets on the belly are controlled by gunners on both sides.
Among them, due to the high position of the middle gunner, observing through the top bubble observation window, he has a good overall view of the combat situation, and he naturally became the highest-level gunner-the central fire control gunner.
Compared with others, his control is more complicated. For example, he can allocate turrets through the main fire control panel. For example, he can allocate all four fuselage turrets to one side when needed to concentrate firepower on the enemy.
In other words, he can mobilize all firepower at any time.
At this time, his head was exposed, as if he was poking his head out of the roof window. He watched the smoke drawn around him. The fighter jets escorting them had already left the formation. In this case , They must meet in advance, although not all can be intercepted, at least it can reduce the pressure on the bomber troops.
Now it is too late to continue calling for support. They are only a few minutes away from the target. What they need is persistence, persistence, and persistence!
Fly to the target bravely, drop the bomb, and you can return home.
Now they are almost on the bombing route, they can no longer carry out any maneuvering to evade, and the formation cannot be chaotic, so they can only rely on their own self-defense machine guns to intercept!
The island aircraft group in front had a battle with the intercepted Mustang fighter jets. The two sides tossed up and down. From time to time, planes dragged black smoke down ~EbookFREE.me~ At the same time, there were also a group of island fighters that quickly passed through the fighting airspace. , Coming toward the American fleet.
Squadron Captain Takahashi, driving his fighter jet, rushed in murderously. In the past, there was no way to look at the American bombers. Now it is different. They can fly up easily!
The second-stage supercharger was hissing and the engine was roaring. Takahashi pulled his control stick and continued to climb. At the same time, he issued a command to his troops on the radio: "Attention, the first team dives and attacks, the second team climbs and attacks!"
It is reckless to fly head-on with the bomber group. The shooting window is too small, and at the same time the enemy's bomb area is too small. Following his order, the aircraft behind are automatically separated into two groups.
A part of the aircraft followed Takahashi and continued to climb upwards, after exceeding the opponent's flight altitude, dived down, and the remaining part flew at a lower altitude than the opponent, ready to attack from below.
Now they are flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters at will. Such actions were impossible to imagine before.
Takahashi’s fighter planes flew in the forefront. At this time, those bomber groups did not dodge, they were still lined up in a neat formation, it was like they were queuing to die!
Bf109, with a fierce howl, dived towards the bomber, the nose, had already aimed at the leading bomber!
The pilot plane is always the most dangerous. Under normal circumstances, as long as the pilot plane is destroyed, other planes will flee in all directions.
Now, Takahashi led the team to dive, the other team attacked, and inside the fuselage, Deckers had already put his eyes on the sights. His hand skillfully rotates the ratchets on both sides of the sight, so that the eyepiece is aimed at the target, and the front sight is adjusted to aim at the flying fighter. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
