Chapter 1184: Stuka Attack

The request for an attack was quickly granted, and in fact, before it was approved, Franz had already piloted his Stuka bomber, circled in the air, and came to the end of the opposing formation.

No flares were released, so Franz couldn't be sure how many bombers there were now, and now, while the other side didn't know where they were, they would shoot down the next one first!

When it was first put into service, the Stuka bomber had good maneuverability and could even abuse some rival biplanes, but now, Stuka has lagged behind in performance and can only be used as a professional bomber.

It was mainly used to carry bombs on its belly pylons, and in order to help the ground forces eliminate their opponents, it was equipped with a Bofors 40mm cannon and a 7.9mm machine gun to help the ground forces destroy their opponents.

To deal with bombers, of course, it is more suitable for machine guns, especially its machine gun shells, which are armor-piercing incendiary shells and tracer shells, alternating high-explosive shells, and this kind of shells is more suitable to deal with bombers.

Franz felt that his breathing was a little short, in the past, the dive bombing was so exciting, it didn't make him nervous, after all, the target of the attack was different, it used to be a ground attack, and now, it was an air attack, and it was still the largest bomber of the Soviets.

The bleak moonlight shone down, and the Stuka bomber was a blurry black shadow, slowly approaching the larger black shadow in front of it.

The distance was getting closer, and Yekinny's vision was no more than a hundred meters, and at this distance, he had the confidence to hit the other party, but at the same time, it was easy to collide, so he had to be fast.

Taking another breath, he adjusted his position and pressed the cannon button.

"Tom tom!" The Bofors cannon in the turret suspended on the side of the wing let out an angry roar, and puffs of gunpowder smoke came out from the muzzle of the cannon, accompanied by a strong cannon flash.

Ordinary airplanes like to use shaft guns, which can facilitate aiming, but for night fighters, this is definitely a disaster, and the flash of the muzzle of the cannon will make people blind instantly.

So, night fighters always use cannons on the wings or belly, and now, when the cannons are fired, Yekinny skillfully twists his head slightly to the side, and after only three shots, he quickly pulls up his plane.

With a tracer, the shell accurately penetrated the tail of the fuselage of the Per-8 bomber behind, and the 40mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb first opened a large hole in it, and then it burst into flames.

For machine guns, in fact, the power of 20 mm caliber is not small, after all, many aircraft in this era still use machine guns, and now, 40 mm cannon shells, as long as one hit, there is no possibility of survival!

The Per-8 shook a little, then the rear fuselage was torn apart, and the plane continued to fly forward for a second, then tumbled and fell, and the fuselage caught fire.

At this time, exclamations kept coming from the radio: "Night fighters, we were ambushed by night fighters!" ”

In the dark, they didn't see anything, only heard the sound of machine guns, and then their own bombers were shot down, which made them immediately judge that it was the enemy's night fighters!

Hearing this news, Major General Mikhail immediately frowned, now he is still over the Baltic Sea, and he did not expect to be ambushed by the German night fighters here?

"According to Plan No. 2." Mikhail shouted loudly over the radio: "Lower the flight altitude, we go to a low altitude." Change course, enter the shores of Estonia and Latvia, cross the Baltic Sea, and then turn to Berlin! ”

In this era, due to technological limitations, radar can only be used at high altitudes, and bombers must also fly at high altitudes as much as possible in order to increase range and reduce fuel consumption.

Now, since it was discovered by the night fighters of the Germans, it is necessary to immediately reduce the altitude! Flying to a low altitude, neither their ground-based radar nor the airborne radar on the plane can detect them.

The DB-3 bombers in front couldn't do this, because they only had enough fuel to go back and forth at high altitudes, but the Per-8 bombers were more than enough because they used fuel-efficient diesel engines.

Even if they take off from Petersburg, it will be enough.

At the same time, such a tortuous route could evade the interception of German fighters, who, according to their existing reconnaissance, did not deploy night fighter units in these areas.

Now, as one of the bombers was shot down, they immediately changed their tactics, the pilot pushed the control stick, and the bomber began to bow its head forward, change course and go into a low altitude.

"Oh no, they're going to get into the air!" Said the machine gunner in the aft compartment.

"Throwing flares." "Let's first determine how many Per-8 bombers there are," Franz said. ”

The Heavy threw the flares down, and two seconds later, with a parachute, the flares began to emit a brilliance that lit up the night sky around them and illuminated the bombers that were diving.

"There are 10 more." Said the heavy.

"Now, let's catch up again and give the Soviets some awesomeness!" Franz pushes the lever and Stuka begins to dive downward.

Immediately after knocking one down, Franz had climbed to prevent a collision with the Per-8 he was attacking, and now, the Soviets' bomber was lowering altitude, and Stuka was able to swoop down expertly.

During the dive, on the landing gear of the Stuka, the whistle sounded.

"Oh my God, it's a Stuka bomber!" In the process of lowering the altitude, Lieutenant Varisi raised his head in surprise, he heard the sound of the sharp whistle, and at the same time, under the illumination of the flares, he had already seen the plane that came to attack, it was actually the most familiar Stuka with the wing of the inverted seagull!

Could it be that this bomber just shot down your own bomber? What is this called?

The stuka, who had swooped down, swooped down towards a bomber in front of him, and was about to open fire, when Lieutenant Varisi immediately shouted: "Captain Alexander, quick, turn right!" ”

Fortunately, there were flares thrown by the other side, which allowed him to see the direction clearly, and now with his call, the bomber in front was turning rapidly, and the trajectory of the tracer bomb swept past Captain Alexander's plane, which must have been shot down if it had not been for his reminder just now!

Just as the light of the flare was about to go out, Lieutenant Varysi's pupils dilated, and the Stuka bomber actually made a dashing turn in the air and rushed the back of the plane towards him, and then, in the back seat of the Stuka bomber, the machine gunner skillfully aimed, and the 7.9mm machine gun bullet flew towards him like a scoop!

The opponent's movements, without the slightest bit of mud and water, were done in one go, and even as an opponent, he couldn't help but cheer for the other party, but those bullets were flying towards Lieutenant Warisi's plane.

The bullets swept over, covering the entire plane, and Lieutenant Warisi had no choice but to pull his plane back up to avoid the barrage.

Just as he was circling up, he heard the sound of bullets colliding on his fuselage, and then, on the dashboard in front of him, several red lights flashed.
