Chapter 1766: Fatal Strike (Extra 5)
At the same time that the jets were taking off one after another, the powerful German formations were also on the defensive, and the combat-ready planes on each aircraft carrier were quickly taking off from the deck and rushing to the target sea area.
Lieutenant Colonel Lange, who was the first to go into battle, was continuing the peak state of his fighter career, and when he pulled it up, he saw that the fighter plane below was getting farther and farther away from him, and he was stunned for a long time.
I thought that how advanced their fighters were, but now as soon as they climb, they immediately show their inferiority, what about the so-called advanced aviation technology of the Americans?
Lieutenant Colonel Lange knew that his most common tactics could be easily taken out, diving and attacking, climbing and disengaged, and so on, although it was a rogue play, it was the most effective.
And now, when he climbed and broke away, he was about to turn into a dive again, and at this time, he glanced into the distance with the corner of his eye, and was instantly stunned.
On the sea in the distance, there was a flashing light, there were quite a lot of them, almost impossible to count, it was a huge ultra-low-altitude flying formation!
The number must be more than 100 planes!
The last attack shot down hundreds of US Navy fighters, and now it seems that this level of blow is absolutely not painful for the Americans, think about it and know that a big country, fighters are in the tens of thousands, in history, the Americans in the entire World War II, produced 300,000 fighters, as long as the Americans are willing to draw their planes, these hundreds are nothing.
And for the aircraft carrier formation, the influx of hundreds of fighters at a time is absolutely terrifying.
And now, it seems to be repeating the situation last time.
On the aircraft carrier Hitler, Marcal was calmly coping, and when he heard that hundreds of planes had been found again, he pointed to a model of an aircraft carrier on the chart and said, "Release the planes on the Munich." ”
-for-tat, and at the same time, it is necessary to have reservations, not to release all the planes at once, because the US aircraft carriers are very efficient in sorties, so now they can still calmly deal with it.
Moreover, now because it is a return flight, in general, enemy aircraft will definitely appear from the rear, and it is impossible to circle the entire rear hemisphere of one's side, and such a flight is not cost-effective.
In the fierce Atlantic breeze, on board the aircraft carrier Munich, carrier-based aircraft were dispatched again.
Flight Wing Commander Alcatel, the first plane to take off, he skillfully operated the fighter, facing the deck wind, at the very end of the take-off deck of the aircraft carrier, easily pulled up, accompanied by the roar of the engine, began to climb high.
This is an easy flight, in the battle briefing ahead, it is indicated that it is the Mustang fighter of the US Army Air Corps, and in the latest report, the Mustang fighter's ability to climb is not good, as long as the own side starts to climb, it can break away from the opponent's attack, which is quite comfortable.
Behind Alcatel, one F190 fighter plane after another took off into the air, the beveled deck, the bow deck, and flew at the same time, almost four at a time, the speed was quite fast, in a short period of time, dozens of fighters took off one after another, towards the rear of the fleet, and pounced fiercely.
Another cosy battle is about to begin!
If it is the same as last time, it is conceivable that the Americans will not succeed so easily, after all, the Americans' killer weapons have been mastered by their own side.
And the Americans, absolutely not so stupid, if they are going to come, they must be with other killer moves.
Flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters was extremely easy, but now, everyone in the entire bomber unit was nervous, and they knew how terrible the battle they were about to face was.
"Attention, twenty minutes to get to the battlefield." Rear Admiral Kenneth B. Ulf, commander of the 58th Bomber Wing, shouted over the radio: "Let's blow up the German fleet as we did last time we bombed the island fleet!" ”
They were all B-29 bombers, and this time they deliberately moved to the east coast of the United States, took off at the scheduled time, flew over the vast Atlantic, and bypassed Iceland before returning, so they flew from the eastern part of the German fleet, that is, the direction in which the German fleet returned.
They will fly on civil aviation routes, posing as civilian aircraft to minimize the risk of being noticed, while other fighters of the Navy and Army Air Corps are fighting fiercely in the tail airspace of the opposing fleet, and the airspace in front of them is blank.
Fly over, and then, with special bombs, blow up the aircraft carrier formations of the Germans!
For their sake, the Navy and Army Air Force, which are said to have used more than 600 aircraft, entangled the air power of the German fleet to the death, and used their unafraid sacrifice to provide the bomber force with a final chance to strike a fatal blow.
So, they can only succeed and not fail!
Fortunately, the last bombing of the island nation fleet gave them experience, and they had the same plan as last time, with four flying groups, the 444th and 40th bombardment groups flying in front, carrying VB-1 bombs, and the 462nd and 468th bombardment groups, half an hour behind, carrying bat bombs.
The bombers in front are mainly used to deal with those aircraft carriers, as long as the aircraft carrier is blown up, the carrier-based aircraft cannot land, and can only be transferred to Iceland or Greenland, then the opposing fleet will be defenseless, just to create an opportunity for the bombing group behind to kill the remaining warships.
After the improvement of the technical staff, the VB-1 bomb was originally only 5 guidance channels, but now it has been expanded to 47, which means that each bomber can control its own guided bombs, and does not need to have to fly back and forth many times to bomb because of insufficient channels.
Of course, unlike the last situation, most of the fighters of the island country could not fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, while the German fighters could easily fly up, so that in the process of bombing, once they were discovered, Germany would definitely attack them in groups.
At the head of the bomber, in the navigator's cabin, Captain William O'Molay felt his heartbeat accelerate inexplicably, and just now, a turn in the airspace around Iceland made him feel a little dizzy, and he didn't seem to be in a state today.
No, he had to be sober, he opened his kettle, poured out some water, put it on his hand, and then smeared it on his face, and now he was sober.
His fingers slid down his fingers and touched a cross on his chest, and William muttered in his mouth: "God, bless us!" The free world is not going to fail. ”
