Chapter 987

The U.S. bombers flying to the mining area are the spade formation of B-17 bombers, which are also suffering from the terrible German air defense artillery attack In the climax novel, the fuselage of the plane trembles in the distance airflow and explosion, and all people pray that they will not be shot down and fall to the ground in the uncertain shaking.

All of a sudden, the German artillery stopped, as if they had been ordered. When all Americans are surprised at their strange experiences, it seems that someone has finally found out the problem.

"Jonathan! below! I always think there are some strange shadows under us A controller of the turret below, while controlling the turn of his machine gun, loudly reminded his companions that in the dark night, they could not see the objects around them, everything was so deep - deep into the terrible darkness, as if there were invisible demons hidden forever, devouring human souls.

Germany's ju-88 night fighter finally found their target in the dark according to the guidance of ground radar. This is their first battle. In the whole war, they appeared for the first time and showed their terrible figure in front of their enemies.

The beautiful lines of the ju-88 are hidden in the dark. This kind of aircraft was designed as a new generation of multi-purpose bomber, but after it appeared, the German army had completed the blitzkrieg war against Poland. The actual combat proved that the do-217 bomber was enough at that time, and there was no need for another type of aircraft.

The performance of do-217 in Poland and France has conquered the German air force. It has more ammunition capacity and stronger self-defense firepower than ju-88, so it is more economical to use. Therefore, ju-88, which tends to be flexible and small, lost its favor.

So for the purpose of frugality, the German designer designed this aircraft as a heavy-duty ground attack aircraft and a multi-purpose long-range fighter reconnaissance aircraft. Even so, it is still a marginalized aircraft within the German army. One of the important reasons why the ju-88 became the main aircraft of Germany was that the head of state akado paid attention to the night fighter.

The volume of the newly developed airborne radar system is too large, and the propeller of the single engine fighter also limits the installation of the radar. Therefore, this kind of night fighter can only adopt the form of double engines, and has a smaller fuselage. The ju-88 immediately stands out and becomes a mature refitting carrier for active night fighter.

This unique German night fighter was produced with all kinds of details taken into consideration. For example, the Fuehrer proposed the problem of blind vision of pilots caused by night firing... All these problems were finally solved by German engineers one by one. The ju-88g night fighter delivered to the army can be regarded as a perfect work of Art.

This kind of aircraft is equipped with eight 30mm caliber machine guns and a 13mm caliber machine gun for self-defense. It is a super air gunship armed to the teeth. Moreover, the aircraft is equipped with an advanced airborne radar with a detection range of more than 6 km, which guides the attack target for the extremely powerful weapon system.

Named oblique music, the oblique upper back machine gun can directly attack the oblique upper target without adjusting the nose. And these weapons are in the driver's rear, the fire will not cause the driver's blind.

Now these planes are close to the American bomber group. The radar detectives in the cabin find the American planes flying above them from their own screen, so they signal to their teammates in the radio that they can attack: "the target has entered the attack range! It's time to fire

These new ju-88g night fighters suddenly launched a slaughter in the night sky, two 30mm caliber machine guns on their backs shot out dazzling tongues of fire, and the tracer bullets flew straight to their targets in the dark. Then the ammunition accurately hit the US plane, leaving a row of burning bullet holes in the enemy's wing or fuselage.

This is not a competition of equal strength, but a one-sided hunting game. American bombers in the night sky did not know what happened, they had been disrupted by the German night fighter fleet.

One after another, B-17 bombers disintegrated or exploded in the air. Even the most robust fuselage structure could not withstand the ravages of 30mm caliber shells. The American plane that was hit was immediately disintegrated and exploded, turning into a dazzling fireball in the night sky.

"German plane! It's a German plane By the light of a B-17 that was shot down and on fire falling to the ground, Jonathan, an American B-17 bomber pilot, finally saw what his enemy looked like. He saw the sharp black iron cross on the wing of the dark gray camouflage twin engine plane.

"Fire! Fire He yelled and pulled the trigger. As a result, at the moment when the machine guns burst out, his eyes, which had been used to the dark environment for a long time, could no longer see anything. His eyes were shining and his ears were full of shouting and swearing.

"I can't see them! I can't see them at all! God Jonathan didn't know where the enemy plane had gone. He just opened fire blindly, as if only in this way could he ensure that he would not be shot down by the enemy. But such a blind fire has no effect at all. The tracer bullets are like scattered raindrops in the sky, zigzagging into the distance.

In the earphone, I don't know who is reminding me. Tension and confusion make everyone sensitive: "No.17! 17! It's flying to you After hearing this prompt, I don't know how many self-defense machine guns and machine guns, followed by blind fire. Jonathan managed to recover some eyesight after stopping shooting. He managed to use the self-defense weapon against the fighter during the day to deal with the special fighter at night, which was really ineffective. He rubbed his eyes and then managed to see the scenery. He saw the side gun of an American B-17 bomber beside him firing wildly, and the gun was firing all the way, more and more in Jonathan's own direction. There's no time to think about the number of the other party, and there's no time to let his plane climb. All he can do is yell out loud on the radio: "stop shooting! You hurt your friend by mistake! son of a gun! You hurt your friend by mistake He didn't say which plane was injuring the friendly army by mistake. Maybe other people didn't hear his endless cry. So Jonathan could only open his eyes wide, watching the tense shooter keep firing. The tracer bullet struck the fuselage of his plane in a straight line, and then a machine gun shell hit his belly self-defense turret, broke the glass, pierced the steel plate, and hit poor Jonathan“ Damn it Jonathan, the shooter of the self-defense turret on the belly of the plane, swore to himself, then hung down his head. Smoke began to billow from the fuselage of his B-17 bomber, and then the whole tail broke off and became two pieces of circling and falling. German aircraft guns are in the rear of the pilot, although it affects the aiming accuracy, but it will not affect the pilot's line of sight. As a result, these twin engine ju-88g's flexible rolling pursuit in the night sky broke one American bomber after another to pieces. Akkado's scientific and technological advantages for the German army finally showed their value in this second. In the dark night sky, these ju-88g night fighters used the advantage of electronic technology to create a one-sided air battle. The Americans opened fire like headless flies, but they could not effectively prevent the German planes from approaching. With the help of the German fighter planes covered by the night sky, they could use their own superior firepower to tear up the defense line of the US B-17 bombers from any direction“ The 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 someone else has a professional night interception fighter, what else can it be if he chooses to come at night instead of dying? But at this time, it's too late to regret. He can only continue to carry out his mission, praying that the German aircraft has not killed them before flying to the target area and dropping bombs. I don't know whether the prayer had an effect, or whether this land operation went very smoothly. When the Americans were devastated to despair by German night fighters, they saw all kinds of fires burning on the ground. Although it was different from the agreed shape, they didn't even hesitate to open the bomb bay“ Start dropping bombs! Start dropping bombs! Self defense fire, keep firing! Make sure that after we destroy the target, we'll be able to return! " The commander of the United States gave a loud order to attack when he was in a mess. Then he felt the fuselage of his plane tremble and an aerial bomb left their bomb cabin. When the B-17 bomber was in his old line of business, he showed unparalleled professional quality. The bomb got out of the belly bomb cabin orderly and crashed into the remote ground along the parabolic trajectory. A series of explosions can be seen clearly in the dark, even at a distance of 10000 meters. No one doubts that Norway's steel industry will be completely destroyed after such a powerful destruction. But there was no cheering, no joy of success, because the enemy they had to face was still around them. Those German fighters, like the night charm, still have no intention of leaving. They dive again and again, smashing the fragile fuselage of American bombers with dense 30mm caliber machine guns. For American pilots, tonight's night seems to be a little longer.
