"One hundred kilometers, into the bombing route." In the sky, Captain William shouted.

In the blue sea, you can already see the white splashes on the sea surface in the distance, and in front of each splash, there is a warship sailing, and the whole formation is so huge on the sea.

Hundreds of warships!

A distance of 100 kilometers seems to be a long way off, but they must enter the bombing route now, and they cannot easily change it.

Very simply, the VB-1 bombs they carried could only be adjusted left and right, and when the bombs fell, they could turn left and right, but they could not change before and after. It is not possible to adjust the distance.

From the point of view of the radio channel, it has increased to 47, which is about the same as the VB-3 of later generations, but its missile body can still only be adjusted left and right, and it is most suitable to bomb long targets.

It's about the same as dropping a free-fall bomb.

As last time, each bomber carried only one VB-1 bomb, 1,000 pounds, half a ton only, and the remaining pylons of the B-29, which reached a ten-ton bomb load, were still loaded with other free-fall bombs.

If it weren't for a dive attack, the hit rate of free-fall bombs would be very low, but fortunately, the German fleet was a dense formation, and it was dense at sea.

William took a deep breath nervously, and in the pressurized cockpit, as if the oxygen level was gradually decreasing, he felt a sense of holding his breath, and his eyes were firmly fixed on it, from now on, the plane was at his command.

The plane was a long plane, and Major General Kenneth was on it, and at this time, he was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, looking at the sky in the distance, and suddenly, he saw a few kilometers higher than his own, and there were pieces of shining.

There are at least 14,000 kilometers there, and at such a high altitude, what kind of plane?

This thought only flickered in his mind for a moment, and Major General Kenneth knew that the situation was not good.

Throughout this era, there are quite few planes that can fly to an altitude of more than 14,000 meters, and it can even be said that only a few reconnaissance planes can fly there, but what comes in front is a piece, and it is definitely a fighter!

A fighter jet that can fly to 14,000 is terrifying to think about, how terrifying will that be?

"Notice, right ahead, a group of fighters appeared. Shrink the formation, ready for self-defense. Major General Kenneth shouted loudly over the radio.

At this time, those bright spots flickered even more, the altitude was constantly decreasing, and the opponent began to dive!

Flying at the front, it was Novotny, an experienced flight veteran, who saw the huge bomber formation from a distance, and in appearance, it was very similar to its own Junkers-290, but there was no distinctive black cross on the wing, only a red five-star, needless to say, it must be an American bomber!

They really came to sneak attack, and they even didn't hesitate to go around in a circle?

"Attention, prepare for an attack, musketeer formation." Novotny shouted over the radio.

The formation of musketeers, they have only recently pioneered a new tactic, the ancient musketeers when shooting, they were in two rows, the front half squatting, the back standing, and then they held their guns and fired together.

And the current jets, after receiving the order of Novotny, quickly changed their formation, and soon, they also became two rows, with a height of less than five meters up and down, and a distance of only twenty meters between the front and rear, and the row behind was in the gap of the front row.

From a distance, it looks like two long barrages, blocking the approach of the opposing group, and at this time, the two sides are flying head-on.

24 jets, two rows in front and back, soon they descended to a height of 10,000 meters, on the same level as each other, about 100 meters higher than the other party, and their movements were uniform, all of them were experienced veterans.

"Attention, the speed is reduced to four hundred." Novotny continued to give new orders.

Now, the two sides are head-to-head, and the relative speed is very large, and if you want to increase the hit rate, you have to reduce this relative speed. Storm birds can fly up to 1,000 kilometers per hour at the fastest, and now, 400 is almost the slowest speed they can fly at high altitudes.

The distance between the two sides is still decreasing sharply, the B-29 bomber formation is shrinking rapidly, and the 444 bomber group at the front is lined up in a dense formation and continues to fly forward, they must break through the other side's interception line.

Major General Kenneth felt that something was wrong.

From him, the opposing plane can already be clearly seen, the absence of propellers is the biggest feature, and at the same time, the nose of the aircraft is also exposed with a large opening, it is clear that this is the jet fighter of the Germans, a rather mysterious model, with unrivaled performance.

If you are the opponent, it should be a sharp dive down from a high altitude, only in this way can you find your own weakness, due to the elevation angle of the gun, the firepower in the direction of the back of the aircraft is always the weakest, and your own formation, in order to form crossfire, make up for the defensive defects of the 90-degree angle.

But now, instead of taking advantage of their altitude advantage to dive, the other side has lined up a straight interception formation in front, are they planning to bombard with aerial artillery when they are close?

How is this possible!

The relative speed of the two sides is very fast, when they get close to the distance of the gun, they only have a short firing distance, and then they will cross relatively over, so that the other side has to turn around and chase again, and during this time, their own side has been able to enter the bomb throwing distance, in the high air, dozens of kilometers away can throw bombs.

Could it be that the other side has some strange new weapon?

When Major General Kenneth thought of this, his heart sank, and this judgment was probably correct, because the Germans were never short of new weapons, and they could always come up with some strange weapons.

However, no matter what new weapons the other side has, the other side must continue to move forward head-on, and there is no second option.

This is the fate of bombers.

At this time, William, the navigator and bombardier in front, also saw the interceptor plane in front, his eyes briefly turned from the bombing sight, because his position was the lowest, so from here, he could see the underside of the opponent's wing, and when he saw what was hanging there, William couldn't help but exclaim: "They have rockets!" ”

The range of the cannon is too close, and it is not very dangerous to shoot when flying, but the rocket is different, it is a surface killing weapon!

If you don't believe me, ask the ground forces, what are you most afraid of? It's called the Ciric Organ, and now, it's the same thing on the other side!
