Chapter 685

As a matter of fact, the German engine is not up to the level of 44 years in another time and space. They can only rely on weight reduction to meet part of the design requirements, so the ta-152 fighter in another time and space can carry 90 rounds of axle gun ammunition, while the aircraft in this time and space can only carry 60 rounds. Of course, like most German weapons, German designers leave enough room for improvement in the future.

Moreover, the nose of ta-152 fighter is much longer than that of its predecessor fw-190d fighter, so it has the nickname of "long nose 190" of the Soviet Union. Therefore, the stability and initial speed of this aircraft's nose gun have been significantly improved, so Hartman can make a bold surprise attack from a long distance when the American pilots are not ready.

However, there are only more than 30 shells in Hartmann's machine guns now. Under the best condition of shooting down an enemy plane with five shells, he can only kill six more enemy planes at most. Even if the 20 mm caliber wing machine guns are included, he can shoot down more than a dozen at most. It seems a little far away from killing 150 American bombers.

"I know we can't beat them all! But we will destroy the largest number of enemy planes! " Hartman leaned over his head, looked through the cockpit glass at the huge bombers in the distance, and said to the squadron leader.

As he spoke, he gently pushed the control lever in his hand to make the plane adjust its flight direction again, and pointed its nose at the distant American fleet. Then, looking at the American fighters coming up, he said with a smile: "as long as I'm here! This is German airspace! No enemy can invade! Remember the first rule in the eastern flight code? "

"Any plane without an iron cross on its wing will be shot down!" The squadron leader was also inspired by Hartman's fighting consciousness, and he followed Hartman's plane with a smile. He also pointed his nose at the other side's fleet: "first, let's have fun with these fighters! Let them know that the German pilot on the east line is the best pilot in the world

The roaring sound of the engine reverberates in the sky. We can already see the coastline of Romania's annexation of Ukraine in our sight. Not far away from it is the real territory of Romania. It will not be long before American bombers can see their dream target.

Why are car racing so popular in peacetime? Why are so many rich people willing to drive their cars to fight for their lives and challenge faster? Because men are eager to be faster and more agile, which is a primitive wild pursuit, a means to reflect men's strong will, and an excellent way for these energetic people to challenge life and death.

Compared with these crazy moves, flying a fighter with an aircraft gun, rolling in the air at twice the speed, and then tearing the opponent's wings and smashing their heads in the most direct way are absolutely the things that countless lunatics dream of experiencing now - of course, the courage to fly two planes to 200 planes, Whether they have or not is another matter.

With some tiny black spots fighting back and forth in the sky, a Romanian fisherman standing on the coastline was frightened to see the locust like American bombers not far away. He looked up at the sky with fear in his heart.

He had seen German airplanes, so he knew they were not German airplanes. He easily distinguished German fighter planes and saw the two fighters shuttling between American airplanes, looking at the appearance of emasculation and struggling. He felt that the end of his country was coming, and he felt helpless.

In fact, in addition to him, there are still some people who feel helpless, and their mood is closer to despair than helpless. Just when Hartmann challenged 200 US planes with two planes, a total of 150 German fighters were entangled with 150 US bombers who had just entered Bulgaria.

Compared with the air battle over the beach in Romania, the air battle here can be described as tragic, because almost every second, there are airplanes falling from the sky with heavy smoke, and the engine roars like two electric saws colliding together, which makes people feel extremely painful in their eardrums.

At the moment when the two sides just met, these German planes launched a round of dense rockets, which were as dense as raindrops, making it impossible for the US bomber formation to hide.

As a result, one after another American bombers were hit by rockets. Because the destructive power of rockets is amazing compared with aircraft guns, these sturdy B-17 bombers exploded directly in the air into a gorgeous flame. With the explosion and crash of these bombers, the original neat flying formation has changed beyond recognition.

Before the pilots of American bombers recovered from the shock, the German fighter planes swooping down from the high altitude poured a large number of shells to the bombers whose formation had been disordered. The bombers whose formation had been lost were fragile, especially they did not have the cover of fighters, so they were even more embarrassed.

However, the U.S. B-17, like the German butcher bomber, has perfect and powerful self-defense firepower, including four electric rotating turrets at the nose, belly, back and tail, as well as 12 on both sides of the fuselage. 7 mm machine gun. These weapons protect the aircraft like hedgehogs, enough to meet the German aircraft killed in all directions.

However, if these weapons can completely protect the aircraft, it's a little exaggeration. The most important role of these weapons is to protect the aircraft. Against those fighters designed for the purpose of killing their opponents, they are obviously not so professional in shooting down their opponents. In just over ten minutes, about 15 German planes and 40 allied planes crashed in the sky, one in almost a few seconds. There are parachutes all over the sky, which look like dandelions. That's the proof of the parachute jumping of the pilots on both sides, but it's obvious that the mood of those who parachute to escape is not the same now. The difference is that the territory under their feet belongs to Bulgaria, full of Bulgarian soldiers with swastika armbands and Mauser rifles. If the U.S. bombers in the direction of crimson face Hartman, and finally can only rely on the number to bear the loss and continue to move forward to defuse the opponent's interception, then the U.S. bombers in the direction of Bulgaria will not be so lucky, because they have no advantage in the number. When they finally found out that they should turn and escape from the area, there were only 70 pathetic bombers left“ to turn to! Get out of here! Team up! I need to stay in line! Keep the formation The commander at the core of the fleet has given the order to retreat. As bait, they have already completed their mission. There is no reason to annihilate the whole army here. Seeing that the American bombers began to turn and flee, the battlefield commander of the German fighter formation also gave an order to retreat: "20 cover planes with auxiliary fuel tanks abandoned the auxiliary fuel tanks and continued to pursue. The rest of the planes immediately returned!" This time, it's the turn of the American pilots. They can't believe their good luck. Except for a small number of German fighters, the remaining more than 100 German planes began to return with them. Everyone knows that their situation is really bad now. As long as they pursue and kill all the way, they will be completely annihilated if they can't enter Turkey. But I don't know why the Germans retreated. Instead of pursuing them, they let go of these dying American bombers“ God bless us, they seem to have more important... "Speaking of this, the commander realized why these Germans retreated. Obviously, the American bombers in the other direction succeeded, so they left here in a hurry to clean up the mess“ Excellent! Gentlemen! Our sneak attack on the other side may have been a success! That's why they went back to reinforce in such a hurry! We are safe now! If we escape the pursuit of these 20 enemy planes, we will be able to return safely! " His words led to a cheering voice. After all, it is absolutely comfortable to be able to escape from a fatal mission“ Sir! In other words, we succeeded in our attack on the Romanian oil fields? " A young pilot asked his boss in the phone, got a positive reply and laughed happily: "great! It seems that our sacrifice is valuable... After all, we can't go back. " With these words, the young pilot took a look at his plane, which was smashed by a shell and broke the window and instrument panel. Just a few seconds ago, several engines of the plane had stopped running, and only the phone hanging on his pilot's ear was still working. So on the way back, the bomber fell with thick smoke. After the battle, it failed to return to its own airport safely and fell in the southern part of Bulgaria. With the fall of the bomber, the Americans finally determined the number of planes that they could safely return to. After all the way of pursuit and looting by Bulgarian ground anti-aircraft guns, only 44 planes were able to return to the middle east base. Even so, they still feel that they are the winning side, because they speculate that the other side's action has been successful, that Romania's oil fields have been destroyed, and that the Germans will soon run out of oil to drive their terrible war machines.
