Chapter 356 Train Air Defense Anti-aircraft Artillery System VS US Air Attack Group (II)
Looking at the A-1 attack planes that exploded one after another in mid-air, Lieutenant Colonel Kurt couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but dive down immediately, smashing all four napalm under the wings towards the Chinese train set, but the reality of the situation made him more than he could do enough.
Because the countless anti-aircraft shells are like having eyes, as long as they get close to the fighter, they will burst without hesitation, and the scattered fragments will be smashed towards the plane like this, no matter what kind of best pilot you are, or what kind of air combat hero during World War II, you must bow your head and surrender in front of the fragments that are less than the size of your fingers.
As the trump card among the trump cards that came out of the "Henderson" airport on Kuah Island that year, Lieutenant Colonel Cotter had never experienced any dangers and had never seen any tragic situations, so that he had long not known what fear was.
But today, in the face of such a strange scene, Lieutenant Colonel Kurt finally felt the fear that he had not felt for a long time, and in just such a short moment, he destroyed all the defenses that he had disguised for many years, leaving only that heart that was constantly frightened!
"Return ~~ Return ......"
After seeing his wingman blown into a pile of parts by the sudden anti-aircraft artillery shells, the only courage that Lieutenant Colonel Kurt had was gone, and he shouted at the radio without hesitation: "Return immediately......
After speaking, he did not hesitate to pull the joystick, and the A-1 attack plane that sat down instantly changed from diving to climbing, and then accelerated into the air like a rocket, and in a moment it broke away from the combat airspace shrouded in the white light of the flares, like a boiling pot.
Lieutenant Colonel Coat, who was so apprehensive, couldn't help but secretly rejoice that while he felt that his decision had been made in time, he did not forget to report to Huntinger what he had seen, hoping to persuade the stubborn commander to stop this terrible mission.
However, just as he was about to return the landline from climbing to level flight and switch communication channels, his blue eyes suddenly opened involuntarily, and at the same time, a consciousness called fear burst out from his cerebral cortex, and instantly surged all over his body, and finally squeezed out layers of goosebumps from every trembling pores......
It was no less than a dozen anti-aircraft artillery shells, and the distribution was very irregular, but in the dark night sky, the red light was particularly shining; The tracks may have been a little erratic, but the directions pointed were all A-1 attack planes piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Cote.
Looking at the cannonball in the cockpit reversible mirror, Lieutenant Colonel Kurt no longer cared about what to report or not, and with his feet sucking, he pressed the accelerator pedal straight to the end, and the piston engine in the nose immediately let out a scream beyond the limit, pulling the whole plane more and more frantically into the air.
At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Cotter was not idle, and after reaching a certain speed, he was ready to maneuver the plane to make a wide range of steering rolls, perhaps doing this action at maximum speed would cause irreparable damage to the structure of the aircraft, but it was better than not knowing that the bones were gone.
I have to say that Kurt's consciousness and experience are top-notch, and the speed is amazingly fast, in this era when anti-aircraft missiles still exist on the drawings, Kurt's trick is the most effective means to evade the prevention and control of anti-aircraft artillery, but it is a pity that he forgot one, the incoming anti-aircraft artillery shells do not have the ability to turn to attack, but they are special shells with close explosion function.
Because of this, at the moment when Kurt moved the joystick to turn, the first cannonball to chase was detonated in the air for no reason, and nearly 100 anti-personnel fragments burst out in an instant, although all of them were not concentrated on Kurt's landline, but there were still two or three fragments that cut the tail rudder of Kurt's landline in half.
Sitting in the cab, Kurt only felt that the landline shook involuntarily, and it was still impossible to restore stability, because the shells that followed exploded one after another in the tail, and the tail was blown beyond recognition in just a moment.
However, the super desire to survive made Kurt stimulate all the potential of his whole body, and although the fuselage was seriously saved, with the super survivability of the A-1 attack aircraft, Lieutenant Colonel Kurt was still confident that he could fly back.
In the end, Kurt was out of danger, and at that moment he snorted proudly, because he was confident that at that moment of life and death, no pilot in this world could do better than him, so he should be content, so the corners of his mouth grinned again, as if relieved, he left a smug smile in front of the rearview mirror and popped, and fell on the dashboard.
Behind it, the faintly flickering track lights reflected Kurt's bloody back through the cockpit hollow that had been pierced by the fragments, and then collided with the earth with the uncontrollable parabola of the A-1 attack plane......
"Cotter...... Kurt...... Lieutenant Colonel Cotter, please answer immediately...... Knock knock knock...... Buzz~~~Boom~~~"
At the same time as Lieutenant Colonel Cotter's plane crashed and exploded, Colonel Huntinger, who was in the rear, used the command and communication plane to make continuous calls, although there was still some distance between the combat airspace on the same line, but under the white light of the flares, as bright as day, anyone who was not blind could clearly see the fierce scene there as if it were boiling boiling water.
At that moment, Colonel Huntinger knew that it was not good, and immediately turned on the radio to find out what was going on in front of him, but as soon as he was connected, the contact signal from Cotter's side also came in, and Colonel Huntinger didn't say a word, and immediately called out loudly, but before he could say a few words, there was a sound of a shell exploding in the earphones, and the plane lost control, until it fell and exploded.
Colonel Huntinger, who had no time to react, only felt that his eardrum was like a perforation, and his heart was tingling, but he didn't have time to take care of the problem of his ears, and he was shocked by the operational briefing sorted out by the combat staff officer on the side, and in less than three minutes, four of the six A-1 attack planes commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Cotter were shot down; One plane was seriously injured and forced to land, and the pilot was missing; One more is missing.
Colonel Huntinger didn't know what happened to the missing pilot who had made a forced landing, but Huntinger did know that nine out of ten of the Cotter planes were missing A-1 in the briefing, but that wasn't the point, the point was that in such a short period of time, a squadron of attack aircraft was lost.
Such a huge war loss rate was rare even during the brutal World War II, until he saw the judgment conclusion written at the back of the report, Colonel Huntinger's eyes couldn't help but freeze, and he asked himself a question that Kurt and others had been puzzled about: "When did the Chinese have a radio proximity fuse?" ”
