One island fighter has pinned down four escort fighters, and now, the entire B-29 bomber group is only escorted by twelve Mustang fighters.

After all, they believe that the islanders do not have a high-altitude advantage, so they enter from a high altitude and then break away from a high altitude, and the escort fighters just follow in a circle.

But now, James has seen that things are not good.

At this time, they were only a few dozen kilometers away from the target, and if they had good eyesight, they would have been able to see clearly over the target.

If all of them were Bf09, it would be troublesome, but it shouldn't be that bad, right? Otherwise, how could there be nothing in the intelligence?

As those fighters took off and continued to climb higher, the tension in their hearts gradually intensified, and when the other party climbed to the same height as them, the distance between the two sides was less than ten kilometers.

"Attention, it's all BF09 coming, dense formation, let's greet it with roaring bullets!"

Although in this era, the Junkers-290 has appeared in advance, but for the United States, for Boeing, the B-29 is still a cross-era existence.

In the past, an altitude of 10,000 meters was almost an impossible altitude to reach, and almost all the planes of the island countries circled around at an altitude of two or three thousand meters, and the serious problem was the low temperature and lack of oxygen in the high altitude.

For example, the B-7 bomber, when it comes to mission, must wear a bulky electric flight suit and an obstructive oxygen mask to stay alive. Even so, once you come down, you will be frozen enough, and if you are suddenly hit by the oxygen tube during the battle, you will be unconscious for a few minutes. The electric flight suit was interrupted, and it had to freeze to death.

In short, high altitude is not suitable for human survival.

The machine gunner, in particular, is in great danger when he sits in a glass dome with the best view.

Now the B-29 is different.

It has a pressurized cockpit that allows everyone to be in the plane, wearing almost half sleeves, and at the same time, the turret has been turned into a remote-controlled turret, and the machine gunner only needs to be in front of his console and control the joystick.

As a massive aircraft, the B-29 was equipped with five turrets in the nose, back and belly, each armed with two 7-mm machine guns, and an additional 20-mm gun in the tail turret. 2 x 7 mm machine guns in four remotely controlled turrets and tail turrets, each with 000 rounds, and in the tail turret of earlier models there was also a 20 mm 2-gun Type B with 00 rounds.

Best of all, they can also control the firing of other guns when needed, and with the control of the on-board central fire control system, everything is so easy that it is almost like playing a video game in later generations.

This is definitely a terrible firepower deployment, and now, 2 bombers, forming a dense formation, then, in all directions, there will be countless anti-aircraft firepower to take into account, and any fighter who wants to attack them will have to pass through their most terrible air defense system!

They have confidence in their planes, and now, let the island people experience a sense of despair!

In the lead of the first bomber, the gunner Dicks, through the bubble viewing window on top of himself, watched outside.

Depending on the assignment, different turrets are controlled by different people, for example, the front turret on the back of the fuselage is usually operated by the bombardier, the gunner in the rear turret, and the front and rear turrets on the belly are operated by the gunners on both sides.

Among them, due to the high position of the middle gunner, observing through the top bubble observation window, he has a good global view of the combat situation, and naturally becomes the highest-ranking gunner - the central fire control gunner.

His controls are more complex than others, for example, he can assign turrets through the main fire control panel, such as the ability to assign all four fuselage turrets to one side when needed, and concentrate fire on the enemy.

That is, he can mobilize all his firepower at any time.

At this time, showing his head, as if poking his head out of the roof skylight, he looked at the smoke around him, which was the fighter escort for them, had flown out of the formation, in this case, they had to meet in advance, although they could not intercept all of them, at least to reduce the pressure on the bomber troops.

Now it's too late to call for support, it's only a few minutes away from the goal, what they need is persistence, persistence, persistence!

Bravely fly over the target, drop the bomb, and you're ready to go.

Now that they have almost entered the bombing route, they can no longer perform any maneuver to evade, and the formation cannot be chaotic, so they can only rely on their own self-defense machine guns to intercept!

There was a battle between the island group in front and the intercepting Mustang fighters, and the two sides were tumbling up and down, and from time to time planes dragged black smoke downward, and at the same time, there were also a group of island fighters that quickly crossed the airspace of the warring and came towards the American planes.

Squadron Leader Takahashi, piloting his fighters, swooped over with murderous vigour, in the past, there was nothing to do about looking at the bombers of the Americans, but now it is different, they can easily fly up!

The second supercharger was hissing, the engine was roaring, Takahashi pulled his lever and continued to climb, while giving orders to his troops on the radio: "Attention, one team dives to attack, two teams to climb to attack!" ”

It was reckless to fly head-on with a group of bombers, such a firing window was too small, and at the same time the enemy's bomb area was too small, and with his order, the planes behind were automatically separated into two groups.

Some of the planes followed Takahashi and continued to climb upward, and after exceeding the opponent's flight altitude, they dived down, while the remaining part flew at a lower altitude than the opponent, preparing to attack from below.

Now, they are flying at random at an altitude of 10,000 meters, which was unimaginable before.

Takahashi's fighters flew in front, and at this time, those bomber groups did not dodge, they were still lined up in a neat formation, as if they had come to line up to die!

BF09, with a sharp roar, dived towards the bomber, the nose of the nose, already aimed at the bomber in the lead!

Pilot planes are always the most dangerous, and under normal circumstances, as long as the pilot plane is knocked out, other planes will scatter and flee.

Now, Takahashi led the dive, the other team attacked back, and inside the fuselage, Dirks had already put his eyes on the sights. His hands skillfully turned the ratchets on either side of the sight, aiming the eyepiece at the target, adjusting the crosshair to the incoming fighter.
