Chapter 339

"That's great!" In the observation window, Colonel Nils witnessed the whole process of the bombing. Hundreds of bombs were dropped from the plane and rushed to the ground with the acceleration of free fall. After that, a flower of flame bloomed on the ancient street of the ancient city of London.

This operation has little practical effect, because although London has a long history and is the core of Britain, it has few heavy industrial targets. Bombing here has little effect on destroying the war potential of British forces. There is only one meaning of bombing here, which is to frighten the British high-level and let them remember how dangerous it is to assassinate the German head of state.

"Gentlemen, it's over! Those Brits should remember us! Now, we're going back! " Nils laughs and commands on the intercom: "all planes start to accelerate and climb, at an altitude of 9000 meters."

With the increasing buzz, the engine of the butcher bomber began to make a pleasant sound, and the huge strategic bomber began to rise slowly. In a short time, it crossed the clouds and flew to the scheduled route. If there is no accident, they only need to fly for about an hour to see the air force's fighter fleet and return to safety.

"All machine gunners stay alert! We need to fly by ourselves for about an hour to meet the reinforcements. We have to rely on ourselves during this time! " Nils said aloud, holding the phone.

With his voice, the British anti-aircraft gun positions began to fight back. Most of the shells are large caliber anti-aircraft guns with low precision and density. It seems that the British local anti-aircraft firepower has not been fully reflected.

But good luck has not always been with this strategic bomber force led by Colonel Niles. Just a few minutes later, they met the first real challenge in this operation.

"Colonel Niles! Colonel Niles! There's a British fighter force behind us! They're climbing, they're climbing A plane flying around reported what he saw.

Colonel Nils looked at the altimeter. Now they have reached an altitude of about 8000 meters. According to the information provided by the intelligence department, except for a few smuggled me-109c improved fighters, it seems that no other British fighter can fly to an altitude of about 8000 meters.

But now the situation is that these fighters have climbed to an altitude of about 8000 meters, and it seems that these new British fighters can climb higher.

Fortunately, these British fighters are coming after us, so it obviously takes a lot of effort to get closer. So Colonel Niles calmly arranged the formation of the bomber formation and confirmed our defense mission. Then he ordered the bombers to continue climbing up to 9000 meters to see how the British fighters responded.

Niles suddenly found that the rest of the world is not in the same place, the speed of development is not much slower than Germany. When Germany took out long-range strategic bombers, Britain also took out fighter planes that could fly to such an altitude for combat - it seems that bombing Britain in the future will not be an easy thing.

Soon, the accelerating butcher bombers raised the altitude to 9000 meters, while the British fighters behind seemed to have reached the limit of flight altitude. They maintained an altitude of about 8700 meters, close to the bottom of the tail end of the butcher bombers.

"Suddenly! Suddenly The cannons at the tail of the butcher bombers fired. Compared with the fighter planes, these cannons that can rotate freely are obviously more flexible. At least in the follow-up attack, the speed advantage of the fighter planes is reduced to the minimum, which makes it easier to be locked and aimed.

British fighter pilots are obviously old hands. They know that if they attack by biting their tails, they will suffer a lot. Because of the engine problem, the limit flight altitude of the hurricane fighter is 9600 meters, and its flight performance has been affected at an altitude close to 9000 meters. So their play is to approach the target from below, then climb up like a fish jumping out of the water, and then descend to return.

However, it is obvious that the lower part is also the key area for the fire protection of the butcher bombers, where there is a double barrel 30mm machine gun operated by female gunners, so the counterattack of the German strategic bombers began as soon as these British planes entered the fire range.

If the previous fighter fight of the air force was a duel between knights, then the current fighter assault bomber formation battle is a bloody positional battle. There is no skill to speak of any more. It has become a cruel competition of firepower strength between the two sides.

The German side relies on a 30mm caliber gun mounted on the tail and belly, while the British pilots are equipped with a 7. A seven millimeter machine gun. But in terms of firepower density, the British fighters are slightly superior, because each hurricane fighter is equipped with eight seven. 7 mm machine gun.

These young Germanic girls on the bombers, they turn the turret, aim at the target, then pull the trigger and fire at the approaching British fighters. Unlike direct attacks on soldiers, these female Gunners are very competent to attack non-human metal aircraft. They have no mental pressure at all. They just pull the trigger and watch each other drag long black smoke down.

Of course, there are accidents, such as this moment. In the turret below the belly of a butcher bomber, a female pilot aimed at a hurricane fighter. Soon she pulled the trigger and fired a string of shells. The plane was still in the distance, not ready to climb attack, so the whole cockpit was facing the butcher bomber above, so the German gunner saw her bullet hit the cockpit of the plane by coincidence, and the pilot inside was beaten to pieces. The cannonball easily broke the plexiglass canopy of the plane, and then easily broke the pilot inside, and then penetrated the bottom of the plane, making the plane fall in smoke. The red blood on the broken canopy was frightening“ Oh! Ouch Seeing the tragic situation after she hit the other side, the female gunner began to vomit violently. This is her first attack, which is the first time in her life. The intense discomfort made her forget to fire, and the British pilots seemed to have finally found the only flaw in the German bomber formation. Hurricane fighters, like flies smelling fishy smell, began to pounce on this temporarily dumb area, and the distance between the two sides was shortened a lot. Seven of the British air force. The 7-mm machine gun began to work, and the German bomber, which had a flat belly, had a row of holes in its fuselage“ We got hit! We got hit! Someone's hurt! " A German machine gunner with 13mm machine guns on both sides ready to open fire yelled, because the other side of the machine gunner beside him was hit by a bullet and was making a scream“ We have no response from the machine gun below! There is no response from the machine guns below us! " After confirming twice, the pilot on the co pilot said loudly: "the machine gunner on the side! Go and see what happened to the shooter on the belly of the plane! "“ Oh, my God! Keep pulling! We need cover! Vengeance 35 needs cover! We need to climb! Please allow us to climb There was a crisp sound on the bulletproof steel plate on the left side of the pilot. He was so scared that he quickly applied for cover and began to let the plane continue to climb“ Fill the hole left by revenge 35! Keep the formation! We're in the English Channel! Hold on a little longer! " Niles frowned and approved vengeance 35's request: "what happened just now? Why don't you fight back? "“ son of a gun! How is it possible that British fighters can fly up to 9000 meters "Don't get hit again," complained the gunner of avenge 35, crawling in the narrow passage, looking at the bullet holes left in some places! I don't want to fall so high! " As he muttered, he crawled forward until he reached a small hatch in the belly of the plane, and then opened it. The cold wind came in all of a sudden, and he couldn't open his eyes. He had to close the hatch quickly and then tighten the closing knob. He put on his goggles and wrapped his leather jacket tightly. Then he turned the knob to open the cabin door and looked inside carefully. The whole turret was full of bullet holes hit by machine guns. In some places, because it could not withstand the damage of air flow, it had broken into holes the size of a palm. The vomiting gunner had been shot in the chest by a machine gun. She was still hanging on the seat because of the safety belt, but because she was dead, her limbs were swinging back and forth with the air. Because of the strong air flow, the whole turret was covered with blood, which made people feel nauseous and nauseous. The machine gunner who came to check quickly closed the small cabin door again to block the cold air. As he crawled back and forth, he stopped talking with a cold face. For the first time, he saw a corpse that had been shot in the lung by a machine gun, a turret full of blood, and a woman dying so miserably. When he returned to his position and hung the earphone on his ear, he found that his hand was still shaking. Pressing the phone switch, he resisted the urge to vomit and said, "the belly turret has been destroyed. Belina is dead."
