Chapter 255, Overwhelming Superiority

013-11-22

The first thing Boeing saw was the four BF-109s in a lower position, but the cautious habits he had cultivated in countless air battles prevented him from immediately taking his fleet into action. The fastest update 78 novels // but began to search whether there were still enemy fighters in higher positions. Boington is a brave pilot, but bravery is not the same as brute force. In fact, any pilot who has survived countless air battles knows that caution must be taken before going into battle.

So, naturally, Boeington spotted two Lindbergh BF-109s that were further back, but also at a higher height.

"Sure enough, these Germans still want to play tricks on me!" Boeing laughed unconsciously, "But to be able to design such a trick, it seems that these guys are not all rookies." Well, that's a bit interesting, I always bully rookies and mess up my craft. ”

"02-04 will follow me to attack the enemy plane at a higher position at 9 o'clock, and the other planes will attack the enemy plane at 12 o'clock!" Boeing gave the order. Then he took three more P-81 fighters and rushed straight towards Lindbergh's plane.

Because the 6 20-mm rifled guns of the P-81 had obvious advantages over the Germans' 20-mm guns in terms of speed and range, and even in terms of power. In addition, Boington was quite confident in his shè strike skills, so he chose to fly head-on towards the enemy. If the enemy is willing to fight him head-to-head, Boeing is absolutely sure to knock him out in the air. In addition, the P-81 is much stronger than the BF-109, and unless it is directly hit by the MK-108, even if it hits one or two shots, it will not have any too fatal consequences. Therefore, the P-81 pilots are very fond of the head-on shè.

Lindbergh had not had much previous experience with the P-81 fighter. However, he was not ignorant of such aircraft. The German handbook described the aircraft in detail and called it the pinnacle of propeller fighters. Whether it is speed or acceleration, whether it is climbing or diving, whether it is firepower or resistance to blows, it is unmatched. The German pilots who had fought the P-81 praised it like a flower.

Lindbergh knew that the P-81 had 6 20-mm guns. This artillery was received by the Germans on the downed P-51 fighters. Tests by the Germans showed that this cannon far surpassed the German 20mm guns in terms of xìng performance, especially the shè cheng, almost twice as farther. Germany also tried to imitate this kind of aerial gun, but there was a problem in terms of yield, reliable xìng always cheated, and as a result, German fighters still had to rely on the original 20mm gun to confront the enemy. Although he had not faced the P-81 against the Shè, Lindbergh had seen other German fighters and the P-51 against the Shè, and even the more powerful FW-190 did not take advantage of the P-51 with four 20mm rifled guns. What's more, now he is driving a BF-190 with a weaker firepower than the FW-109, and the opponent is a P-81 with much more firepower? For shè, it is obvious that he is looking for his own death.

The speed of the P-81 was amazing, and with the fact that the two sides were in a head-on state, in the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was already very close. Lindbergh made a sharp putt, and the BF-109K4 immediately made a considerable negative G move and dived downward.

This action caused Lindbergh's BF-109K4 fighter to disappear in front of Boeington's eyes, and the nose of the P-81 blocked his view, making him unable to see the BF-109. The Boington did not try to bite the opponent by doing a roll and then diving with a lever, although the roll of the P-81 was very good, and it could even be said that it was no worse than that of the FW-190, but the roll took time after all. Doing so will only give the enemy a chance to slam the nose up and hit him. So he pulled up with his wingman at a wide angle. At the same time, Boington also knew that the P-81 fighters No. 03 and 04, who were further behind him, had a chance to hit their opponents.

P-81 03 and 04 were still far away, but they had time to react to Lindbergh's movements. They had a 180-degree roll, then a tie rod, and also went into a shallow dive. However, at this time, Lindbergh and his wingman made a barrel roll with a negative G in the dive, which caused both 03 and 04 shè shells to miss. Of course, such a move also deprived them of the opportunity to fire at American aircraft.

The planes of both sides staggered, and Lindbergh immediately leveled the planes and began to turn to climb. In air combat, whenever there is an opportunity, it is necessary to seize the opportunity to climb. Besides, although the speed of the BF-109K4 is much faster than that of the BF-109G series, the high-speed control of the BF-109K4 is not very good, and the opponent's P-81 is a typical high-speed fighter. Fighting with the P-81 at high speed, it is definitely not a good idea. And by climbing, it is certainly better to convert kinetic energy into potential energy while keeping the fighter in the most sensitive speed segment.

By this time, however, the Boeington, which had quickly pulled the P-81 up and completed a half-somersault, had occupied Lindbergh's 6 o'clock. Now it's swooping down on them.

Lindbergh knew from German flight manuals that the P-81 rarely made hovering maneuvers. This should indicate that the hovering xìng of this kind of aircraft is not very good, so he intends to use a horizontal movement to get rid of the Boeing attack. However, the timing of such a horizontal turn is very important, and if it turns early, people will pull the plane up, and watch you do your own actions and waste energy, and if you turn late, with the ferocious firepower of the P-81's 6,000 shells per minute, people can beat you to a pulp with just a little shè.

The BF-109, on the other hand, is a fighter with a rather poor field of view, and even the latest BF-109K4 has been improved quite limited in this regard. Therefore, to judge this timing, it depends more on the mutual help of the two planes. At this time, Lindbergh observed that the enemy's P-81 fighter had approached his wingman from the rear, to a rather dangerous distance.

"Column No. 2, turn sharply to the left!" Lindbergh shouted.

Lena 2 immediately made a sharp turn to the left. However, at this time, another advantage of the P-81 was manifested, that is, the P-81 was able to roll off, except for somersaults on the base, any movement started with a rolling action, and sharp turns were no exception. A left-hand jerk breakdown looks like this: first roll 90 degrees to the left, then pull the lever. The P-81's circling Xìng performance was indeed bad, but its roll was much faster than that of the BF-109K4, so Boeing completed the 90-degree roll before the "Lena 2" and began to pull the rod. In this way, by the time Lena 2 began to pull the rod, Boeing had already had a chance to smash.

Boeington threw a long dot shè, and the "Lena 2" crashed headlong into a hail of bullets, which tore the plane apart almost instantly. "Lena 2" ignited a raging fire, the wings and tail were broken, and the plane fell downward in a package of flaming red smoke.

"Lena No. 2, skydive!" Lindbergh shouted.

However, the pilots on the "Lena 2" did not jump out. In the sharp turn just now, the cockpit of the "Lena No. 2" was just perpendicular to the line of defense where the shells flew over, and judging from the density of the shells, it is very likely that one or two shells will hit the cockpit. Perhaps the pilot on the "Lena 2" had already been killed in the shelling just now.

The downing of the wingman immediately puts Lindbergh in great danger. Now that there was no wingman to help him observe at 6 o'clock, the sight of the tragedy of the BF-109 series fighters immediately became a fatal problem. Under the siege of four planes, he could not take care of all directions. Lindbergh couldn't even dive and escape. Once in the high-speed section of the dive, the BF-109K4's movements will become very sluggish, but the opponent does not have such a problem, and in such a situation, the opponent can definitely shoot him down easily.

Boeington once again entered the 6 o'clock direction of Lindbergh's BF-109, and Lindbergh had just barely dodged the attacks of 03 and 04, but allowed Boeington to occupy the attack position again. Boeington quickly approached the target, but his wingman was slightly more distant from him, so that if Boington failed to hit his opponent, his wingman would be more comfortable with his guns.

At this point, however, Lindbergh made a move that surprised both Boington and his wingman. He jerked down all the flaps, even the landing gear. The speed of the plane dropped sharply, which forced Boeington, which had already calculated the amount of advance, to attack and pull the plane back up. The Boington's wingman barely fired, but the shells flew in front of Lindbergh's BF-109K4.

At this time, Lindbergh slammed open the canopy and jumped straight down.

"Nima's! How did this guy skydive! We haven't hit him yet! The move took Boington by surprise. But Boeington immediately figured it out, although this guy's behavior was a bit like that, but it was indeed the most reasonable approach. The dodge action just now consumed too much energy, and although he dodged this round of blows, he couldn't dodge the next round of blows anyway. What else can you do besides skydiving?

Lindbergh opened his parachute in the air. In fact, the air battle just now lasted for a very short time, only a few minutes. He began to think back to the air battle he had just had, and he felt that he had in fact not made any tactical or technical mistakes, but that he had been eliminated so quickly and without any possibility of resistance. What a desperate gap!

Lindbergh didn't have time to pay attention to the other planes in his group just now, considering that the US military base was not in the habit of attacking parachutes, now that he was finally safe enough to see the situation of the other planes. So Lindbergh looked around, and just as he expected, there was no longer a shadow of the BF-109K4 in the sky, and the other 4 BF-109K4s in his group were besieged by a full 20 P-81s and had long since been shot down. And those BF-109G and FW-190A that had just flown were also shot down a lot, and the rest only dared to fly at low altitude near the airport, along the wall of the airport, and survived on the protection of the airport's anti-air firepower. Lindbergh understood that although this counteroffensive had only just begun, the Germans had already lost in terms of air battles.
