Chapter 195: Seaplane Interception

The Deutschland, carrying two seaplanes, was now ejected in turn, and after flying out, the two planes searched in two directions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the one hand, search for surface ships, and on the other, for each other's aircraft!

In the past few years, due to increased investment in the military, Germany's various military technologies have been making rapid progress. High-power aero engines are the most direct aspect of aircraft performance.

The AR196 seaplane was still climbing, and Ludwig's eyes were looking at the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.

Lucas in the back seat, constantly searching the sky, his eyesight is quite good, and in the best weather, he can even see 20 kilometers away.

But now, they were flying west, and the sun was a little dazzling in the west, and he had to rub his eyes constantly.

"Nothing was found." Lucas said, and as soon as he said this, he saw several bright spots in the sunlight.

"Target found, twelve o'clock direction, quick, it's a bomber!" Lucas shouted loudly.

Discover the target! With Lucas's report, Ludwig's eyes looked straight up, and he saw that directly above his head, there were indeed several twin-engine planes, flying towards this direction!

Under the belly of the plane, bombs are loaded, and the engines on the wings on both sides are driving the propellers, purring and turning.

S, B-2 bomber!

At this time, there are still bombs in this direction, and there is no doubt that the other side is going to bomb their own warships! These Republican planes are really bold, they bombed Italian warships a few days ago, and now, they want to bomb their own Deutschland!

Of course, you can't let the other party succeed!

The throttle was pushed to the maximum, and Ludwig met the other party and flew up!

At this time, the SB-2 bombers were flying in formation at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and their attention was looking at the target warship in the distance.

They didn't even notice that a terrible killer was already flying down there!

The AR196 is a seaplane, but its powerful maneuverability has changed its role, and it is definitely more than just an ordinary seaplane!

Intercepting a slow bomber is an easy task for it!

"Deutschland, Deutschland, six SB-2 bombers have been spotted and are flying towards the port, please air defense immediately." Lucas, in the back seat, shouted over the radio, alerting the Deutsche to air defense.

The AR196 seaplane, flying upwards at a large elevation angle, Ludwig's eyes were firmly fixed on his sights, and when he put the bomber in front of him in his sights, he pressed the button on the steering stick.

"Da-da-da-da." The 7.9mm machine gun fired in the direction of the belly of the SB-2 bomber!

Then, Ludwig quickly pushed the lever, and after all, there were pontoons under the seaplane, and the movement was slow, and the two sides were too close to each other just now, and the slightest mistake would collide with it.

The sound of his gunfire woke up the formation, and they instantly dispersed the formation, and the machine gunners were on standby.

"Hit their engines and cockpits!" Lucas in the rear compartment shouted, he had just seen his side hit the opponent, but unfortunately, the 7.9mm machine gun was too powerful to tear the opponent, but only punched out a row of small holes.

Then you can only hit the opponent's engine and cockpit, hit the key position!

In the flight just now, the two sides passed by, and Ludwig's fighter plane flew to the rear of the other side.

Now, when Ludwig readjusted his posture, he had already entered from behind the other side, that is, from the west, and in the light of the sun, this direction was dazzling.

Catch up!

If the SB-2 is at full power, it will also have a maximum speed of 400 kilometers per hour, but that is the speed of the unloaded, and now, with the bomb attached, this kind of aircraft can only fly to 300 kilometers per hour, so that the seaplanes behind are getting closer again!

At this time, on the SB-2 bomber, the machine gunner in the back seat, had already opened the hatch, the twin machine guns, constantly turning around, his spirit was highly nervous, where did the German seaplane go?

Although the bomber is not a full-time combat aircraft, it would be embarrassing to say that if the bomber let the seaplane shoot down.

The sun was flickering, and he couldn't see the back hemisphere clearly.

Suddenly, in his field of vision, the plane appeared, and sure enough, it jumped out of the sun!

"Da-da-da-da." The moment he found it, the instinctive action of his right hand was to pull the trigger, and the bullet of the machine gun flew towards the sky!

Kill!

At the same time as he opened fire, the opposite side, the seaplane, also fired a fierce bullet at him!

It's a battle of courage and skill! In the swooping seaplane, Ludwig stabilized his plane and constantly fired his machine gun bullets at the position of the opponent's rear machine gunner with the lid open and unprotected.

The machine gun of the machine gunner suddenly became dumb, and the machine gunner's body, leaving several holes, fell on the machine gun, motionless.

In the air battles of World War II, if you want to select one of the most terrible positions, I am afraid that it is the machine gunners on the bombers, and their death rate is the highest in all positions!

Only the machine gunners who took out the rear compartment of the opposing side, such bombers are undefended in the rear! Ludwig did not continue the attack, he was already ready to pull up.

This time the attack was over, and his plane was about to fly in front of the other party.

At this moment, Lucas in the rear compartment shouted: "Buckle it and give it to me!" ”

Hearing this, Ludwig did not hesitate, he pushed the lever to the side, and then, the sky and the earth were turned upside down!

The AR196 seaplane is already in a state of inverted flight at this time, with the pontoons high on the top, like the tentacles of insects, just like a flying monster!

Lucas, the machine gunner in the rear compartment, looked excited.

As a carrier-based seaplane, this is a two-seater type, and Lucas in the aft compartment, in addition to acting as a visual searcher, he also operates the machine gun in the aft compartment!

In later generations, this aircraft was replaced with a 20mm cannon, which was very powerful, and now, this early model still uses the MG17 7.9mm machine gun, one in the front and one in the back.

When the upside down came, Lucas pushed his machine gun and fired fiercely directly underneath him!
