Chapter 988: Long night

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
The American bombers flying to the mines are the spades formations of the B-17 bomber unit, which is also undergoing a terrible German air defense artillery attack. … The apex novel, the plane's fuselage trembles in the airflow and explosion at a distance, and everyone prays that they will not be shot down and fall to the ground in uncertain shaking.
Suddenly, the German artillery stopped suddenly, and it seemed to be as tidy as any order. When all Americans are surprised by their strange encounters, it seems that someone finally discovered the problem.
"Jonathan! Below! I always think we have some weird shadows underneath us!" A controller of the lower turret controlled his own gun's steering while loudly reminding his companions that they watched in the dark night Unclear surrounding objects, everything is so deep-deep into the terrible darkness as if the invisible demons are always hidden, devouring human soul.
The German Ju-88 night fighter finally found their target in the dark according to the guidance of the ground radar. This time was their first battle. They made their first appearance in the entire war and showed their terrible figure to their enemies. In front of you.
Ju-88's beautiful body lines are hidden in darkness. This aircraft was designed as a new generation of multi-purpose bomber, but after it appeared, the Germans had completed the flash battle against Poland. The actual combat proved that the do-217 bomber was completely enough at that time, and no other model was needed. Of such aircraft.
Do-217's performance in Poland and France conquered the German Air Force. It has a larger ammunition load than ju-88 and stronger self-defense firepower, so it is more economical to use. So ju-88, which prefers to be flexible, lost its favor.
So for the purpose of frugality, the German designer designed this aircraft into a heavy ground attack aircraft and a multi-purpose long-range fighter reconnaissance aircraft. Even so, it is still only a relatively marginalized model within the German army. An important reason for ju-88 to become the main model of Germany in the end is that the head of state Akado attaches importance to night fighters.
The newly developed airborne radar system is too large, and the nose propeller of a single-engine fighter also limits the installation of the radar, so this night fighter can only adopt the form of two engines in the end, and has a smaller fuselage-ju The -88 immediately stood out and became a mature active duty night fighter modification carrier.
This unique night fighter in Germany took into account various details when it was produced. For example, the head of state proposed the problem of blinding pilots by firing at night ... and these problems were eventually solved by German engineers and delivered to the troops. The ju-88g night fighter is a perfect piece of art.
This aircraft is equipped with a total of eight 30 mm caliber cannons and a 13 mm caliber machine gun for self-defense. It is simply a super air gunship armed to the teeth. Moreover, this aircraft is equipped with an advanced airborne radar with a detection distance of more than 6 kilometers, which guides the attack target for the extremely powerful weapon system.
The obliquely upper cannon named as the oblique music can directly hit the obliquely upper target, and can attack without adjusting the nose. These weapons are behind the driver, and the flames of fire will not cause blindness to the driver.
Now that these aircraft are close to the American bomber fleet, the radar detector in the cabin found the American aircraft flying over their diagonal from their screens, so they signaled on the radio that their teammates can attack: "The target has entered the attack range You can fire! "
These new ju-88g night fighters suddenly launched a slaughter in the night sky. Two 30mm cannons on the spine ejected dazzling fire tongues, and tracers flew straight in the darkness to their targets. The ammunition then accurately hit the US aircraft, leaving a row of burning bullet holes on the enemy's wings or fuselage.
This is not a match of strength, but a unilateral hunting game. The American bombers did not know what was happening in the night sky, so they had been disrupted by the German night fighter fleet.
One after another, the B-17 bomber disintegrated or exploded in the air, and even a solid fuselage structure could not withstand the ravages of 30-mm caliber shells. The American plane hit was instantly disintegrated and exploded, turning into a dazzling fireball in the night sky.
"German's plane! It's a German plane!" With the light of a b-17 shot down and falling to the ground, the American b-17 bomber pilot Jonathan finally saw exactly what his enemy looked like. He saw the sharp black iron cross on the wing of the twin-engine airplane painted in dark gray camouflage.
"Fire! Fire!" He yelled loudly, and then pulled the trigger of the shot. As soon as the gun fired his tongue, his eyes, which had long been accustomed to the dark environment, could no longer see anything. The eyes flashed brightly, and his ears were yelling and cursing.
"I can't see them! My eyes can't see them at all! God!" Jonathan didn't know where the enemy plane was flying. He just fired blindly. It seems that this is the only way to ensure that he is not shot down by the enemy. But such a blind fire had no effect at all. The tracer flew like scattered raindrops in the sky, flying to the distance in a meander.
In the headset, I do n’t know who is reminding. Tension and confusion make everyone sensitive: "No. 17! No. 17! It is flying towards you!" After hearing this prompt, I do n’t know how many self-defense machine guns are still there. The cannon fired blindly.
Jonathan finally recovered some vision after stopping the shooting, and used the self-defense weapons against the fighters during the day to barely deal with the dedicated night fighters. It did not work well. He rubbed his eyes and barely saw the surrounding scenery.
He saw the cannon on the side of the fuselage of an American b-17 bomber firing wildly, and the firing cannon fired all the way through, all the more and more facing Jonathan's own direction.
Too late to think about the other party's number, or to climb his plane, all he could do was scream loudly on the radio: "Stop shooting! You hurt the friendly army by mistake! Hell! You hurt the friendly army by mistake!" He didn't say where A plane was hurting an ally by mistake. Maybe someone didn't even hear his shouting.
So Jonathan could only widen his eyes and watched the nervous cannon shooter keep firing, the tracer struck in a straight line on the fuselage of his aircraft, and then a cannonball hit him. The belly had a self-defense turret, shattered the glass, penetrated the steel plate, and hit poor Jonathan .
"Damn it!" Jonathan, the shooter of the self-defense turret, secretly scolded in his heart, and then dropped his head, and the fumes of his b-17 bomber began to emit thick smoke, and then the entire tail broke. When it opened, it became two circling drops.
The guns of the German aircraft are all behind the pilot. Although it affects a certain aiming accuracy, it does not affect the pilot's sight at all. So these twin-engined ju-88g flexed and chased flexibly in the night sky, breaking one after another American bombers into pieces.
The technological advantage that Akado worked hard to pave the way for the German army finally showed value in this second. In the dark night sky, these ju-88g night fighters used the crushing advantages in electronic technology to create a situation. One-sided air combat.
The Americans fired violently like headless flies, but they could not effectively prevent German aircraft from approaching, while the German fighters covered by the night sky could use their own superior firepower to tear the American b-17 bomber from any direction. Line of defense.
"Germans have night fighters! They have dedicated night fighters!" The U.S. Army aviation officer who led the team finally realized the seriousness of the problem: Since others have professional night interception fighters, then they choose to come at night, not to die. What is it?
But now this time, it is too late to regret. He could only continue to carry out his mission with a daring daring, praying that the German aircraft had not drove them to death before flying to the target area and dropping the bomb.
I do n’t know if it ’s praying, or if the land operation went smoothly this time. When the Americans were devastated by German night fighters to despair, they saw a variety of fires burning on the ground. Although not the same as the agreed shape, they did not hesitate and opened the bomb bay.
"Start bombing! Start bombing! Self-defense fire continues to shoot! After we ensure that we destroy the target, we can return home!" The US commander issued an attack command loudly when he was burnt, and then he felt the fuselage of his aircraft. With a tremor, an aerial bomb left their bomb bay.
The B-17 bomber demonstrated its unparalleled professional qualities when he was in his veteran business. The bomb left the bomb shell in an orderly manner and hit the far ground along the parabolic trajectory. A series of explosions are in darkness, even if they are tens of thousands of meters away, they can be clearly seen. No one doubts that after such a powerful destruction, the Norwegian steel industry will be completely destroyed.
But there was no cheering or joy of success, because the enemies they faced were still surrounded by them. Those German fighters like Night Charm still didn't mean to leave. They dived again and again, using dense 30mm caliber guns to smash the fragile fuselage of American bombers.
To American pilots, the night tonight seems to be particularly long.
