Chapter 213, The Last Large-Scale Air Battle 3

The P81 already had a very high rate of climb, and in order to rush for time on the way to the road, Boynton flew fast with his fleet itself. Baidu search: read the novel // So when the two sides found each other, although the Germans immediately climbed up like crazy, but, relying on a higher initial speed and a higher climbing rate, the P81s of Boyynton still quickly occupied a height advantage.

There are two basic principles for selecting targets for attack in a swarm confrontation when you have an energy advantage, the first is to give priority to attacking the most threatening target, the so-called "most threatening target" refers to the target with the highest energy, and in general, the target with the highest energy is the target with the highest height. The second principle is to attack a target with limited power in order to quickly shoot down the opponent or incapacitate the opponent. This is even more important now, when you are numerically disadvantaged. Because only by quickly shooting down or damaging enemy planes can this disadvantage be quickly reversed.

Those German fighters in front of the Boyynton, including three. One is the BF109G series of fighters, the other is the FW190A series, and in addition, Boynton also noticed that among these common aircraft, there is also a long-nosed FW190 that he has only seen in pictures before, but has not encountered on the battlefield

Since the climb rate of the BF109G series fighters is better than that of the FW190A, it is now basically those BF109Gs at higher altitudes. Since the BF109Gs are at a higher height, they are naturally the target of Boyington's first attack.

Boynton, having gained a high superiority, did not immediately dive down. While continuing to maintain a high altitude, he continued to observe the enemy aircraft below. While you must be decisive in battle, you must be cautious before you go into battle, and the more advantageous you are, the more cautious you should be. Although Boynton always showed a fanaticism for air combat in his speeches to his comrades, he was always quite cautious when he was actually facing a battle. In this respect, he is a bit like Barton, both of whom are "fake bold, really careful".

After carefully observing the condition of the enemy aircraft group, Pointon began to assign tasks.

"Moses' team, you attack your highest BF109 below 10 o'clock; Sleeping Beauty Squad, attacking the one below 11 o'clock; Vampire squad, attacking in the direction of 1 o'clock; Mickey Mouse Squad, 2 o'clock ......"

Immediately after receiving the order from Boynton, the fighters dived down and the battle began......

……

Ron sat in the operations command room, quietly listening to the various voices coming from the radio. To him, Boyynton's command on the scene was quite good. And the constant shouting from the radio since then also proves this.

"Haha, I hit him! That guy skydived! ”

"You idiot! You actually gave that damn Nazi a chance to parachute! Like I just did, just hit him in the air! Understand, just send that damn Nazi to hell! ”

As soon as Ron heard the conversation, he knew it was the pilots of Moses' squad. The men of Moses' team were all Jews, and they hated the Germans more than the others. In previous air battles, there were even cases of violating discipline and striking enemy parachutes. Of course, this must be stopped. This is not because of any convention, or some knight jīng god, but to protect their own pilots. If an American pilot can shoot at a German pilot who is parachuting today, then tomorrow, when an American pilot parachutes, the Germans will naturally be able to shoot at their parachute or shoot an American pilot who has landed in a German-controlled area and is captured. In Ron's view, it was absolutely impossible to hit the German parachutes first before the Germans massively hit the parachutes of American pilots. Although the exchange in air combat was more beneficial to the U.S. military than it had always been, there would have been more dead Germans if they had been fired at the shè. But, as Ron said, the Nazis were just brutes, and it was impossible to exchange human lives for brutes.

On the Eastern Front, when the Germans had a great advantage and thought that victory or defeat was decided, they once violated the principle of not shooting enemy pilots who parachuted and opened fire on Soviet pilots who parachuted. As a result, the Soviets did not hesitate to fire at the parachuted Germans, and did not hesitate to shoot the German pilots they caught. When the tide of battle was turned around, many pilots in the Luftwaffe regretted what they had done.

So when Ron found out that such a situation had occurred among his subordinates, he immediately severely punished the violating pilots, first by banning flights, locking them up, and finally, kicking the guy who couldn't control his emotions to the Pacific Ocean. Ron felt that this was a good thing for the troops, and for him. A fighter pilot who is too easily controlled by emotions will not live long.

This example deterred the other Jewish pilots who were jumping yù to try it, and they didn't dare to hit the parachute directly, so they put all their jīng forces into studying how to make it impossible for the Germans to parachute. The P81's powerful firepower will be very beneficial for them to achieve this goal. And in order to improve the chance of smashing the enemy plane directly in a shè hit, these guys have adjusted the convergence point of the machine guns to be closer. In this way, when they hit the enemy, there will be more shells on the enemy aircraft, and the probability of the enemy aircraft being blown up will certainly be higher. However, in this way, their attack range is greatly reduced, and the chance of being hit by fragments of a blown enemy aircraft is greatly increased.

In just over six minutes, Ron heard his own fighter pilots on the radio, as many as eleven cheers after shooting down an enemy plane.

"Oh my God! What are the Germans doing? Even if it's eleven pigs, you can't kill them in six minutes! Ron couldn't help but say. And this sentence was memorized, and as a result, the Army's "Normandy Pig Hunting" and the Navy's "Mariana Turkey Hunting" became a symbol of America's overwhelming air power.

……

In fact, in more than six minutes, the result of shooting down eleven enemy planes surprised not only Ron, but even Boynton, who was on the scene. These Germans, well, the level of these Germans, is too outrageous, right?

Just like just now, when Boynton dived towards a BF109G, the German pilot panicked and desperately pulled a sharp turn, but the pull was too strong, causing one wing to stall and the plane suddenly went into a spiral. And the rookie sitting in the cockpit obviously forgot how to change the spiral, he didn't even try, he just pulled open the cockpit canopy and jumped out in a hurry. You know, the height is now 4,000 meters, and he still has enough time to try to change the spiral.

There were also some German fighters, as soon as they saw the American planes pounce, they panicked and made defensive moves, and as a result, they consumed energy in vain, and when they really needed to use a move to get rid of the attack, they were unable to make such a move because of insufficient energy. As a result, it was easily smashed to pieces by the p81 that pounced on it like an empty target that couldn't move.

The battle went so smoothly that some pilots gradually relaxed. Isn't it just bullying a bunch of stupid pigs? Do you want to be too careful? Opponents of this level, even with their eyes closed, can beat them to a mess. Such an idea popped up in the heads of some pilots unconsciously.

……

Heathfield knew that the rookies were certainly no match for the Yankees, but they collapsed so quickly that it was far beyond his expectations.

"That's really...... On the Eastern Front back then, the Soviets weren't so miserable when they were at their worst, right? Heathfield looked out at the sky and watched one German fighter jet after another turn into a fireball, and couldn't help but think.

However, at this time, an opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time appeared. The two P81s completely ignored their presence and went straight to attack the BF109Gs located above them at eleven o'clock, about two hundred meters higher than them. The pilots probably didn't notice that although the BF109G was a little higher, the Heathfield FW190D was much faster than the BF109G. In this area, they are the German fighters with the highest energy!

"Chance!" Heathfield immediately pushed the throttle to the end and at the same time turned on the switch on the afterburner that sprayed shèmw50 water/methanol into the engine. The Yumo 213A1 engine let out a deafening roar, and Heathfield's fighter jets pressed straight for the two P81s in front of them.

Heathfield knew that the P81 was extremely strong, coupled with the fact that he was attacking from 6 o'clock. This further weakened the attack power of the shells that he fired. If you can't hit enough shells against your opponent, you'll probably be able to shoot them down. And in the battle against those P51s just now, Heathfield had already fired a lot of shells. He was running out of shells. So he had to get close enough to fire before firing, and only then could he ensure the accuracy of the hit.

Now, Heathfield's target, Hughes, who was flying the P81 fighter, had spotted the Germans approaching from the rear at the alert of his wingman. He only needs to increase his horsepower and climb to get rid of the FW190D behind him, but now the BF109G in front of him has already been bitten by him, and in a few seconds he will be able to shoot down this enemy plane. So Hughes decided that it would be too late to get rid of the BF109G in front of him first, and then get rid of the FW190D. Anyway, at the level of the Germans, how could he possibly hit himself?

Heathfield approached only 100 meters from Hughes's P81, and he gently pushed the rudder, holding the P81 that was trying to interfere with his aim with some slight movement firmly in the shè strike aperture. Then he pressed the shè button hard.
