Major Saatchi’s mistake is unforgivable.
If he continues to climb upward, the two planes should have stalled almost at the same time. If he can hold on again, maybe the FW190 below will fall first.
However, Major Saatchi can’t hold back at first. Air combat is measured in seconds. In this fierce air combat, you must stay awake enough every second. Any mistake may bring catastrophe. as a result of.
Like now.
Major Saatchi, who swooped down first, suddenly had a few holes in the fuselage. The 20-mm shaft cannon shells ripped apart the pirate's fuselage, and then it burned.
A result!
Alcatel's heart was very excited, but deliberately kept calm. Now the battle is still going on, they must try to prevent the opponent's fighter from crossing the interception line.
Alcatel's gaze looked towards the surrounding airspace, and soon he discovered that there were several special targets on the sparkling sea.
Want to sneak in? It's not that easy!
Alcatel pushed the joystick, and FW190 began to dive down rapidly.
Getting closer and closer, Alcatel can already see clearly that they are several U.S. Navy TBF "Avenger" torpedo attack aircraft.
In this era, using torpedoes to attack enemy warships is also a common way, and the characteristics of torpedoes are also obvious.
It needs a three-person crew cabin.
The throwing of torpedoes is not that simple. It requires specialized personnel to operate and is responsible for the process. Therefore, it is necessary to add a bombardier sitting in the middle, with the pilot in the front and the gunner in the back.
Torpedo planes are cumbersome. In order to protect your own safety, like other bombers, you need a machine gunner at the tail to protect your rear hemisphere.
The current Avengers torpedo is the latest model, designed and produced by Grumman, and it has just been in service.
In the chaotic air battle, this team of torpedo planes cleverly avoided the gunpowder smoke on the battlefield and flew low above the sea level. At this time, they could already see the terrible fleet on the sea in the distance.
Everyone was shocked by the achievements of the Germans in a few years. After the First World War, Germany had lost its navy, and now their navy has expanded to a terrible level.
"Prepare to throw the torpedo, the target, the destroyer ahead." The commander of the torpedo machine said.
Although they also want to attack the aircraft carrier at the core of the formation, or the battleship in front of the formation, the commander of the torpedo aircraft is clear in their hearts that their ultra-low-altitude aircraft cannot fly to the core of the opponent's formation. Go in.
They want to break through the layers of interception by the outer warships, and they will definitely be shot down in the middle.
Their task is to smash the openings and destroy the outer warships, so that their dive bombers can approach the inner aircraft carrier and blow up the opponent's most important battleship.
Although the battleships are also close to the outside, the battleships have thick armor protection, and the underwater is the same. With these torpedoes, it is impossible to cause damage to the battleship.
Kill their outer air defense destroyers!
At this moment, suddenly, the machine gunner behind shouted: "German fighter!"
In the sky, an FW190 rushed over, the machine gunner's heart was highly nervous, his eyes were fixed on the sight, and then he pressed the button, the electric tail turret began to rotate, and then he stepped on the firing Device.
"Da da da." The 12.7 mm machine gun screamed, splashing rain of bullets into the sky. The machine gunner was too nervous. At this time, he was not within the range of the machine gun, but he did it to a certain extent. When the tail gun was discovered, the fighters behind flew away.
Was driven away so easily?
This torpedo squadron has never participated in a battle before, and most of the personnel on it are novices, even if the squadron leader has not experienced a battle in his service career for several years.
Now, seeing the opponent flying away, the squadron leader also breathed a sigh of relief and moved on, ready to throw a torpedo!
The bombardier in the middle is preparing quickly, setting the depth, setting the route, and then, please God bless, this torpedo must be able to explode after being touched, and there should be no duds.
At this moment, the top of his head suddenly became dark, and the bomber in the middle raised his head, and instantly yelled in horror: "There are enemy planes above my head!"
The FW190 actually swooped down from above their heads at a nearly vertical angle. This terrifying aircraft had an attacking angle that was too tricky, and there was no protection at all.
"Tom Tom Tom!" The shaft cannon roared, and after only three shots, the torpedo in the center was blown into the air.
When Alcatraz got up, he saw that the remaining torpedo machines had hurriedly dropped the torpedo, and began to accelerate and fled backwards.
Is it okay to throw away the torpedo? Waiting for myself to continue to make up the knife!
The attack just now is quite dangerous. If Alcatel pulls up one second late, he will get in close contact with the target~EbookFREE.me~ At the same time, it is too exciting.
Alcatel just wanted to rush up, and then kill another one in the same way. The light from the corner of his eye swept away into the sky above his head, suddenly shocked.
Just as he was chasing these torpedo planes at a super low altitude, in the sky overhead, planes with seagull wings had flown over, and they were only a dozen kilometers away from his fleet!
Too dangerous!
With the pilot's eyesight, Alcatel could easily see that the planes with seagull wings were different from the one just now. Two bombs were mounted under the flat belly, which was about to dive bomb!
The torpedo was at low altitude, and the dive bomber was in the middle of the air, approaching from different airspaces. Although the carrier formation has released almost all fighters, it is still impossible to completely parry in front of the US Navy fighters that are surging like a tide, and there will be a slippage. Of fish.
This is all planned. On the periphery of the aircraft carrier formation, there are a large number of anti-aircraft ships. Those 40mm Bofors antiaircraft guns will make them realize what the imperial navy’s barrage protection is.
However, whenever possible, try to eliminate the opponent on the periphery.
As a result, Alcatel could only abandon the torpedo planes that had escaped and pulled the control lever. The fighter plane began to climb upwards. Soon, he visually confirmed that it was the same model as the fighter plane just intercepted, a pirate fighter.
Any advanced fighter can be multi-functional. For example, FW190 can hang bombs, which is heavier than Stuka, and can also hang torpedoes.
The pirate fighter is also such an advanced aircraft. It carries two 1,000-pound bombs, which is better than many light bombers.
At this time, the two pirate fighters were flying towards the German naval fleet with difficulty. With the help of their brothers, they successfully penetrated the defense. Now is the final stage.
