Soon the bomber group crossed the English Channel and entered the Dutch coastline.

Colonel Roy poked his head out and looked down, but he didn't know if it was the clouds or the smoke of the battle below, and he couldn't see anything in the gray patch.

"Good!" Roy said to himself: "Then the German anti-aircraft guns will not be able to see us, but it is better not to be like this when we reach the Ruhr, otherwise we will have to lower the altitude to identify the bombing target!" ”

COLONEL ROY WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE GERMAN FLAK40 TYPE 128MM CALIBER HEAVY ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN, WHICH HAD AN ALTITUDE OF BETWEEN 10,000 METERS AND 14,000 KILOMETERS AND WAS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR HIGH-ALTITUDE BOMBERS.

However, the Allies basically did not pay attention to this anti-aircraft gun.

The reason is simple, anti-aircraft guns will never be an effective method against aircraft, and it inevitably has several fatal flaws:

First of all, the larger the anti-aircraft gun, the more obvious the target.

For example, the FLAK40 heavy anti-aircraft gun is 7.8 meters in the barrel alone, and 9.13 meters in addition to the base and rear reloading system, which is as tall as several floors...... This was a nightmare when the Germans did not have air supremacy, and the bombers and fighters of the Allied escorts could easily detect and destroy them.

Secondly, it was difficult for anti-aircraft guns to be deployed in the right place.

Ground anti-aircraft guns are always slow units, especially heavy anti-aircraft guns, with a total weight of 12 tons, such a stupid guy simply cannot maneuver according to the route and course of the enemy's aircraft, they can only stay in a certain position and "wait for the rabbit".

This type of defense was passive, and unless the Germans could densely spread a circle of heavy anti-aircraft guns along the entire line of defense, it would be difficult to pose a threat to a group of bombers who were flexible, mobile, and could choose the direction of their own breakthrough.

Nevertheless, Colonel Roy was worried that in case there would happen to be several German heavy anti-aircraft artillery positions.

But now it seemed reassuring, because even with the heavy tall guns below, their gunners could only see a gray sky.

At least one thing Colonel Roy was right, he needed to worry not about large-caliber heavy anti-aircraft guns.

The bombers continued to approach the target, and soon the sky began to clear, and the buildings below could be faintly seen through the telescope, and the target seemed clearer the further they went.

One of the pilots exclaimed: "Colonel, you are what you want!" ”

"Today is our lucky day, guys!" Colonel Roy said.

The pilots laughed happily in unison, and there was nothing more fortunate than hearing the word "lucky" on the battlefield.

But they soon found out that they were wrong......

Because at this moment, a flying object with a long wake "whoosh" flew in front of everyone's eyes.

"Enemy situation, enemy situation!" Colonel Roy shouted, "Get ready for battle!" ”

"God, what's that?"

"I don't know, it's too fast to see what it is?"

"It didn't hit us, did it?"

……

Roy quickly shifted his position and raised his telescope toward the other observation hole, and to his horror he noticed that the "thing" was turning.

"I doubt it!" Colonel Roy said: "It's not a shell, because it's turning, and it's coming at us again!" ”

"Oh my God? That's an airplane? The pilot responded in fear: "This is impossible, I have never seen such a fast plane!" And if it's an airplane, why doesn't it fire......"

"I don't know, Adam!" Colonel Roy was a little disgusted by his subordinates' chatter because they were afraid: "Shut your mouth and concentrate on flying the plane, understand?" ”

"Yes, sir!" Adam replied, but his eyes couldn't help but look left and right.

Generally speaking, people who are pilots should have better psychological qualities than ordinary people, but as I said before, there are too many types of aircraft in the US military, especially for the purpose of war, so many pilots are not up to standard.

Adam, for example, was just a farmer flying a small plane spraying pesticides before he trained.

Adam once protested this:

"I've only ever driven an AT400, sir! I don't think I'm fit to fly a bomber! ”

AT400 is the initial type of the United States agriculture and forestry aircraft, it is characterized by low technology content, easy to pilot, large load capacity, although there are disadvantages of slow speed, but this is not only not a disadvantage but an advantage for agriculture and forestry, because only in this way the pilot has more reaction time.

"Have you sprayed pesticides?" The instructor asked.

"Of course, sir!" Adam replied, "I've been doing it for two years!" ”

"Good, Adam!" The instructor raised his eyebrows: "Then you are already an experienced bomber pilot, because in the past two years, you have been piloting the plane again and again to drop pesticides on pests!" ”

Adam was speechless.

The instructor continued: "Now, all you have to do is replace the pesticides with bombs and drop them on the enemy!" ”

The instructor patted Adam on the shoulder: "Do a good job, I'm optimistic about you!" ”

With a "boom", a bomber next to him burst into flames, and the shock wave from the explosion made the bomber piloted by Adam tremble.

Adam watched in horror as the bomber dragged the black smoke down with a hoarse, unpleasant whistling sound like a dying old man.

"Sir!" Adam couldn't help but exclaim again: "It hit the 'naughty kid', it hit it......"

"I see it, Adam!" Colonel Roy replied impatiently, grabbed the walkie-talkie and ordered: "All units, find the enemy's unknown air defense equipment, and be ready to deal with it!" ”

"But...... Sir! The puzzled voices of other officers came over the walkie-talkie: "How do we deal with this?" ”

Roy couldn't answer that question because he didn't know either.

Adam said next to him, "I wish they only had one of these!" ”

But before the words fell, there were "swishing" things flying at high speed with long wakes below, not to mention more than a dozen.

Colonel Roy looked at Adam helplessly and said, "I told you to shut up, Adam!" ”

At this time, Qin Chuan was looking at the sky with a telescope below, and this scene was completely asymmetrical......

One by one, the ME163 flew into the air and hit the target with precision.

Some of the bombers that were called "Flying Fortresses" had become targets at this time, some of them were hit by the wings and lost their balance and fell, some caught fire in the air and then exploded, and some were even directly blown up in the air and broken into several pieces and fell from the air.

The German soldiers cheered loudly, they had been bombed by the American B17 for many years and had no choice, and at this time, seeing the B17 being beaten so badly, they all had the pleasure of letting out a bad breath.

Colonel Slane said to Qin Chuan next to him: "It seems that the era of the Americans bombing us as they want is over!" ”
