Chapter 100: Horror After the Laughter of the American Army
Subsequently, Gotthard Heinrich secretly trained the commanders, commanders, and pilots of the "Cheetah" self-propelled antiaircraft guns in their respective anti-aircraft gun positions, preparing to bombard the British and American Allied bomber groups and night fighter groups.

"The altitude of the enemy aircraft is 4500 meters...... 4000 m ...... 3600 m ...... Wind direction: southeasterly......"
"The direction of the enemy's position is 6 o'clock, 8 o'clock, and 12 o'clock......"
"There are five, eight, and nine ......"
Not long after, the fire control systems of the "Cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, including search radar, tracking radar, fire control computer, auxiliary computer, optical sight, infrared tracking device, laser rangefinder and other equipment, were also immediately and quickly activated to monitor the enemy's position and prepare for attack......
And at this time, over the island of Pantelleria, just took the victory of the American bomber group.
Pilots Leighton and Rand were chatting again on the airborne radio.
"Hey, hey! Rand! We've finally taken out all of these Italians fighter groups! I said that these Italian soldiers don't need to be afraid at all, and worry about it! ”
After seeing that all the Italian fighter groups were wiped out, the American pilot Layton happily used the airborne radio again and chatted with Rand with a bright smile.
"Still! But the losses of our fighter group are also quite a lot! We annihilated all 50 of their fighters, but we also lost more than 30! And not counting the bombers and fighters that were destroyed by enemy anti-aircraft guns! ”
Rand, the U.S. military pilot, said a little sadly.
"Then let's go and bomb a little more enemy anti-aircraft artillery positions now! Anyway, after our heavy bombardment, there should be very little left of these anti-aircraft artillery positions of the Italian army! ”
Layton said elatedly.
"Hmmm! Go ahead! However, we don't have much ammunition and fuel left, so let's evacuate after one more round of bombing! Otherwise, we'll be in trouble when we run out of fuel and ammunition! ”
Rand replied cautiously.
"Okay! I know! Rest assured! I'm blessed with a great life, and I won't be so prone to accidents! And to be honest, I was never afraid of the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns of the Italian army! ”
Layton didn't care at all, not even worried, and responded in a contemptuous tone.
"Hey! Even so, you should learn from me to be low-key, and low-key work is the zodiac! Brothers! ”
Rand smiled helplessly.
"Hahaha! Sorry, Rand! I've always liked to pretend to be high-profile! And as I said, with Italy's unpopular science and technology and lack of resources, how many powerful anti-aircraft weapons can they produce? ”
Layton laughed in a very arrogant tone.
"You! Beware of the defeat of the arrogant soldiers! ”
Regarding Leighton's pride and complacency, Rand continued to smile wryly even more speechlessly.
"Hahaha! As I said, even though the Italians let the horses come, I'm not afraid of grandpa at all! Even if they have the support of the German army behind them, I still say that if they come to a hundred, I will kill them a hundred, or even more! ”
Layton laughed more and more coercively.
In fact, at this moment, he doesn't know at all that pretending to be forced is very risky, especially if he pretends to be forced to a character who is stronger than himself, then the risk and danger he faces will be even greater.
For this reason, Layton is about to pay the price with his life for his contempt and pretense.
"Yes, Layton is right, we don't need to worry about the anti-aircraft fire of the Italian army, don't you see that we are bombing their anti-aircraft artillery positions now?"
"Yes! Oh, yes! And we also have a group of night fighters to cover up, so we don't have to be afraid of them! ”
"Of course we don't have to be afraid of them! Haven't we now given their fighter units a nest as well? Hey! Look! Now we can bomb this little island as much as we like! ”
"Hahaha! You guys are right! Let's hurry up and blow up the remaining Italian air defense positions! The Italian army is running out! ”
At this moment, suddenly a few B-17 bomber pilots who had been diving and eavesdropping on their conversations couldn't help but bubble up and interject.
"Hey! Rand, do you hear me, you see that the other comrades-in-arms all think the same way as me! So don't be so cautious! What is there to be afraid of in the Italian army? Hahaha! ”
Hearing his comrades-in-arms suddenly come out and echo the words, Layton was even happier and laughed as if no one was in his eyes.
"Huh! What is that? ”
Just then, he was suddenly taken aback.
Because at this moment, he suddenly found that at an anti-aircraft gun position that he was about to rush over, there were suddenly dozens of tracer shelling armor-piercing shells; Bombarded with the armor-piercing incendiary blaster at him, and the B-17 bomber piloted by Rand behind him.
"Oops! It's enemy fire, dodge! Layton! ”
also when they saw the "Cheetah" self-propelled anti-aircraft guns with great power, and quickly and violently fired shells at them; At the same time, Rand was frightened into a cold sweat and shouted loudly.
"Boom!"
It's a pity that his warning shouts came too late.
With the sound of an explosion that resounded through the clouds, the two warheads that rotated at high speed immediately went at a rapid speed; It penetrated the fuselage and fuel tanks of the B-17 bomber piloted by Leighton, and the incendiary agent and explosives of the warheads that were fired into the fuselage also ignited and exploded instantly.
And between the lightning and flint, Rand, who had just finished shouting, was also destroyed in the night sky by several armor-piercing incendiary blasting bombs, and exploded in the air.
Before he could die, he didn't have time to scream again, and he watched as he was killed by the oncoming armor-piercing incendiary blasting projectile.
He was killed along with the plane's co-pilot, bombardier, and pilot/wireless telegrapher; and four gunners, a total of 8 people were lost, and none of them survived.
"All the pilots give me a retreat at once! Powerful anti-aircraft weapons have appeared in the enemy army, evacuate quickly! ”
After seeing several other B-17 bombers piloted by Leighton and Rand, as well as pilots piloted by other pilots, one after another, they were destroyed in mid-air; As it exploded into fireballs, Lorngo, the leader of the B-17 bomber group, immediately gave a loud and anxious order to retreat.
"Bastard Italians! They set up an ambush! We also have a back hand! ”
After hearing the order to retreat, Adler, the squadron leader of another B-17 bomber group, was indignant and shouted in the sky.
Originally, he thought that when they were completely annihilating the Italian Air Force, he could take this opportunity to completely annihilate all the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft artillery positions of the Italian army on the island of Pantelleria, so that he could be promoted and rich when he returned, and get the Meritorious Service Medal.
But now it is good, but his own flying squadron was shot down by the sudden and ferocious enemy anti-aircraft weapons.
In other words, he would definitely be severely punished when he returned, so he was so angry that he cursed while flying his B-17 bomber to dodge enemy shelling.
But he hadn't been cursing for long, and he stared at him in horror as he was sent to heaven by two sudden armor-piercing incendiary blasters.
"Boom!"
With his death, a deafening explosion once again resounded across the night sky.
"Adler!"
When he saw that Adler, the squadron leader of the henchman he had cultivated with his own hands, was also detonated in the air by the enemy's armor-piercing incendiary explosive projectile, the group leader Lorngo shouted hoarsely and painfully.
It's just that no matter how sad he screams now, no one will respond to him anymore.
"Oh no, we can't retreat! Captain ...... I don't know why the anti-aircraft fire of the Italian army suddenly became very strong, and now our planes are all shot down by them one by one! ”
Looking at more and more armor-piercing incendiary blasting shells, and tracer shell-piercing armor-piercing shells, Lesotho, the pilot who was constantly attacking him, panicked, used the on-board radio, and exclaimed in horror at Captain Lorngo.
