Most of the assault aircraft were suppressed, but there was one aircraft that could easily break through the interception of American fighters. This aircraft is the ME-262 jet fighter. The aircraft can fly at speeds of up to 850 kilometers per hour, which is much higher than those of American fighters. This makes it easy for them to get rid of the interception of American fighters.

In today's operation, the Germans have concentrated almost all the working ME-262s in their hands. A total of 30 ME-262s were sent out, and they were to launch a deadly attack on the bomber groups of the American army.

Each ME-262 was covered with anti-aircraft rockets under its wings. This makes them slightly lower in speed, but still a lot faster than a regular propeller fighter.

"At 12 o'clock, American bombers!" One of the pilots shouted. Loew looked ahead, and a large fleet of planes gradually appeared in front of him.

This is a huge formation of B-24 bombers, the entire formation is about 200 bombers, and the dense bombers seem to cover the sky in front of them.

The ME-262, which carries anti-aircraft rockets, does not choose to intercept head-on like ordinary fighters. Here's how they tactics. They would first climb to a slightly higher altitude than the bomber group, and then turn to the side of the bomber group. Then approach the bomber from the flank and attack with anti-aircraft rockets outside the range of the bomber's self-defense fire. Such an attack is able to maximize the hit rate of the rocket.

This time, they did the same. Loew, along with the other pilots, went to the flanks of the bomber group, ready to attack them.

"Watch the sky!" The shouts of comrades-in-arms came from the headphones.

Loew looked up, and he saw that at a higher altitude, a group of P-47s was approaching at high speed.

The speed of the P-47, of course, was not enough to intercept the Me-262, but if the P-47 had a height advantage, then by a dive, they could reach a speed of more than 900 kilometers per hour in a short time. During this time, the P-47 was already enough to threaten the Me-262.

However, if you estimate the speed, you should be able to complete the rocket attack before the P-47 arrives. So the ME-262 continued to approach the B-24 bomber group.

At a distance of about 1.5 km from the group, the Me-262 group fired rockets. Each ME-262 was loaded with 24 rockets. 720 rockets were fired like a swarm of firebees, towards the bomber swarm.

In just one round of attacks, about 5 bombers were hit and began to fall. Loew could see that some of the bombers that had been on fire began to deviate from the course, and then their noses began to sag, falling to the ground with flames. Small black dots floated out of the downed plane and turned into white umbrella flowers.

Several more bombers, although hit, still insisted on flying in formation. At this time, due to the need to dodge those downed bombers, the formation of the entire bomber formation was a little messy.

However, the Germans did not lose nothing, and the engines of 3 ME-262s lost power directly because they inhaled the exhaust gases ejected from the rockets. But now that the height is high enough, they can slowly descend while carefully trying to restart the engine. Of course, the action must be done very carefully, otherwise, it is not impossible for the engine to catch fire directly.

But right now, the rest of their teammates can't take care of them. "Rush up and shoot them down with a cannon!" Faced with such a fleeting opportunity, the Germans, of course, would not let it slip away like this. The remaining 27 ME-262s immediately pounced on the bomber group.

As soon as they entered the range of the bomber's self-defense firepower, bullets from the bomber's self-defense machine gun came from all directions, weaving a dense net of fire, as if anyone who pounced on it would be cut into several pieces. However, as the distance quickly closes, the net becomes thinner, and the mesh begins to grow larger, through which Me-262 slips through. Since the ME-262 was too fast, many machine gunners were not adapted. So most of the bullets hit them behind.

At the same time, the B-24's massive fuselage grew larger and larger in Loew's sights, almost cramming them to the brim. Loew pressed the launch button, and the four 30mm M108 guns began to roar, and the plane vibrated violently, and the flames from the muzzles reflected the entire cockpit red. As Loew swept by, he saw that the already wounded B-24 had begun to lose control.

But by this time, the P-47s that had swooped down from higher places had also been killed. With this squadron of 24 P-47s was a Jew named Albert, so he drew a large Star of David on his plane. Until then, his squadron had been flying at an altitude of 9,000 meters, nearly two thousand meters higher than the bombers. This makes it difficult for him to attack ME-262 before they can attack, but it is only by diving down from such a high altitude that they can gain enough speed to launch an effective attack on ME-262 in a short period of time.

By this time, the Me-262s had already rushed into the bomber group, so the P-47s did not hesitate to rush in.

When Loew hits a B-24 and is about to look for the next victim, his wingman shouts: "6 o'clock, fighter!" Loew turned around and saw a barrage of tracer bullets coming towards his plane. As an FXSTXTE-262 that had flown all his life grew larger and larger in Albert's sight, Albert knew that the number of attacks he could attack was extremely limited, so he immediately fired wildly at the plane. That's when he saw the ME-262 start barrel rolling.

"You think you're driving FW-190?" While complaining about the stupidity of the enemy, Albert actually used the rolling and rotten plane to play around, and gently followed the barrel roll. At the same time, constant firing continued. He saw countless shells dragging flames into the plane, and then one of the plane's tail fins fell off, and smoke came out of the engines on both sides. And then the plane went headlong down.

However, Albert did not have time to rejoice, because at this moment, he heard a "poof" sound. This is the sound of bullets hitting one's own fighter plane. Albert quickly rolled over, and then, he noticed that it was actually a B-24 next to him that was being shot at him just now. Apparently, due to the speed of both planes, the bullets that were originally fired at the Me-262 hit his P-47. Fortunately, the P-47 was thick-skinned, and Albert checked the plane, as if it was not a big problem.

By this time, most of the ME-262s had already broken through the bomber formation, and in the process, 4 more bombers were shot down and 12 bombers were injured to varying degrees.

But the Germans were not without losses, Loew's fighter was shot down, but Loew succeeded in parachuting. There was also a Me-262 that crashed into a B-24 while dodging the P-47, and although it managed to shoot down another bomber, it was also knocked to pieces. Six more ME-262s were also injured to varying degrees. Considering the reliability of the Me-262 pit daddy, these aircraft also had to be withdrawn from the fight. As a result, the number of ME-262s withdrawn from combat for various reasons has reached 12 units. As a result, there are only 18 ME-262s left. At this time, the bomber group of the Americans basically succeeded in regrouping. Another shock, maybe the losses will be greater. In addition, 6 wounded fighters broke down and needed to be escorted, so the Germans simply abandoned the attack and chose to evacuate.

At the same time, the P-47s had dropped their auxiliary fuel tanks during the operation just now, so they could not stay here for long. So the P-47s shook their wings at the bomber and began to return home.

In the battle just now, several P-47s were wounded. Most of them were wounded by the self-defense fire of the bombers. Another was hit by a piece of airplane skin that had fallen from its head.

Bob?? Johnson's P-47 gradually fell behind. In the previous battle, his fighter was hit by a bullet and broke a cylinder, which made him unable to fly as fast as other aircraft. And the other planes didn't have more fuel to fly with him.

As a result, the P-47 could only fly back alone. Bob?? Johnson flew for a long time, and just as he was about to reach the English Channel, a group of planes appeared in his 9 o'clock direction. At first, Bob thought it was the U.S. military's own P-47, but when he saw the planes approaching him at high speed, he became alarmed.

Soon the planes were close enough to be recognizable, Bob?? Johnson's pupils contracted sharply, and it was a full 16 FW-190s.

Ron once made this comment on the mainstream fighter jets at the time: "When it comes to group fights, the high-altitude P-47 is the first, and the low-altitude FW-190 is the first." Ron said this because both aircraft have a common characteristic, which is the sturdy body and the firepower. This gives them a big advantage in battles such as group fights, where the chances of firing are greatly increased.

Nowadays, in order to save fuel, Bob?? Johnson's plane flew at an altitude of about 4,000 meters. At this altitude, the FW-190 has better flight performance than the P-47, and it also has an overwhelming numerical advantage of 16:1. Plus Bob?? Johnson's fighter plane itself was already injured, and the situation was even more unfavorable for him. The English Channel is so close, but does he still have a chance to fly back?
