Chapter Ninety-Eight: All the Bomber Groups Are Ready to Attack
The MC?202 fighter is an improved version of the MC?200 fighter, and the engine is replaced with the same DB601 water-cooled engine as the world-famous Bf109E fighter, and a radiator is also provided under the fuselage; In addition, a windshield was added to the cockpit to make it closed, and a 7.7 mm SAFAT machine gun was added to the wings.

Moreover, the MC?202 fighter with the engine has been replaced, and the flight performance has been greatly improved, for example, in terms of speed, it is a full 100 km/h faster than the MC.200.
Moreover, it was proved in actual combat that the MC?202 fighter was better than the British Hurricane fighter, and only the British Spitfire fighter could beat it.
It's a pity that after these MC.202 fighters went through the African campaign and the Tunisian campaign, there were not many of them left.
Now there are only 50 of them left on the island of Pantelleria, and if these dozens are lost, there will not be many MC?202 fighters left in the whole of Italy.
Unless Mussolini is willing to find a way to continue mass-producing them.
However, Mussolini still has a few months to go, and his life and power are about to be in jeopardy.
It's just that now Chen Yanlong has crossed over with the golden finger, as for what his fate will be in the future, it is unknown for the time being.
When to pilot Mark? When Leonati piloted the MC?202 fighter jet out of the night sky to meet the enemy; The Italian air force behind him also plucked up the courage to sit in the cockpit of their own plane and take off.
Finally even the pilot Mark? Leonati was also ruthless and decided to follow his most admired pilot, Mark? Leonati, go to the night sky and fight to the death.
"Die or die! Anyway, eighteen years later, he is a good man! ā
This is the pilot Mark? Leonati piloted his MC?202 fighter jet and blasted into the night sky with his last words.
Originally, these MC?202 fighters did not have the ability to fight at night, but after Chen Yanlong made up his mind to start a war with the British and American allies on the island of Pantelleria; He sent some aircraft designers and maintenance crews to the islands and equipped the fighters with a 1,400-amp searchlight, modeled after the British Douglas A-20 Havoc night fighter.
As for the effect of the night battle, that was not Chen Yanlong's concern.
Because the pilots sent to fight were not the German pilots he was now commanding, he did not suffer much loss even if the battle loss rate was large.
Anyway, don't use a little more of these Italian pilots now, then wait for Italy to surrender to the Anglo-American allies; Not only did he not use it, but he was even attacked by their rebellion against his own German troops.
For this reason, Chen Yanlong can be said to be very comfortable using these Italian pilots and fighter planes, without any worries.
"Hey, hey! Rand! You see, my record seems to be better than yours! You see, I bombed quite a few Italian anti-aircraft positions! ā
Layton smirked triumphantly after bombing another anti-aircraft gun position.
"Tsk! Rand! What do you have to be proud of, didn't you see the British pilot Habeth, and Duckell's record? They're amazing! They strafed and killed many Italian troops in anti-aircraft positions! ā
Layton, the pilot of the U.S. B-17 bomber, poured cold water on the other party and retorted.
"Tsk! Without our bombardment, they were able to approach those anti-aircraft positions of the Italian army so easily? And to be able to strafe the Italian army at low altitude in such a dashing manner? It's just a dream! Layton! ā
Not to be outdone, Rand sneered.
"Even so, you can't erase the credit of others! But then that Englishman seems to be desperate to attack the enemy? It's as if the other party has some blood feud with the two of them, could it be that those German soldiers killed their relatives? ā
Layton shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"They don't have any relatives killed by the Italians, and they're betting on who has the best record, and I just heard about it from our captain!"
Rand chimed in.
"How did our captain know about this? He's not from the British! ā
Layton wondered.
"It's easy! Our captain's current girlfriend is the sister of one of them, so why don't you think he knows, and our captain has also used to assist his future brother-in-law! ā
Rand laughed and exploded insider.
āā¦ā¦ā
Hearing this, Layton was instantly speechless, and his head was full of black lines.
"Everyone, be careful! It's the Italian Air Force, they're finally here! ā
At this moment, the pilot of another B-17 bomber behind them immediately used the radio to warn them.
Then the two of them saw that in front of them, there were a large number of Italian MC?202 fighters that had been improved by Chen Yanlong's order designer, rushing towards them with a fierce momentum.
"All bomber groups are ready to attack!"
As the two of them spoke, the loud voice of their captain Lorngo suddenly burst into a deafening blast over the radio.
As soon as the words fell, all the B-17 bombers began to fight and began to attack with their 7.62mm machine guns and two 12.7mm Browning machine guns.
But there was also a small group of B-17 bombers that continued to bomb the attack.
They were rapidly moving 26 45 kg (100 lb) bombs, 16 136 kg (300 lb) bombs, 12 227 kg (500 lb) bombs, and eight 454 kg (1,000 lb) bombs in the bomber's internal bomb bay; and the last four 907 kg (2,000 lb) bombs, all dropped on the German and Italian anti-aircraft gun positions, for heavy bombardment.
