Chapter 1672: Flying Fortress (Gal. 9)

Aiming is not simple, if you want to shoot in the sky, it takes skill.

Like the artillery on the ground, the first thing is the range, this range, in the tank crew, is converted by the width of the tank in its own sight, according to the known data, compared with the width of the sight, according to the principle of perspective, you can know the distance.

So, if the opposite side is coming by an unknown tank and the width is not known, it may be measured incorrectly.

In the sky, the pilots of fighter jets also have to measure the range, not just at a glance to know how far, the pilots of fighter jets, also in this way, generally wingspan.

For a known fighter, the width of the wingspan is determined, if it is a lagging fighter, it needs to be calculated manually, and now, of course, the B-29 is automated.

On the sight, there is a special device for setting the wingspan of the enemy aircraft, as long as the target model is determined, the wingspan of the enemy aircraft is estimated and set according to the manual or visually, and then by adjusting the size of the reticle aperture, the central fire control system can automatically calculate the distance, and compensate for shooting according to the speed, distance, angle and speed of the target.

Yes, it is very important to compensate for the shot, because in the air, the trajectory is curved, and at the same time, both sides are in fierce motion, and if there is no advance amount, it will definitely not be able to hit, and all of them will have to fly.

Now, on the sights of the remote-controlled turret, Dix is conscientiously operating according to the previous training, and step by step, the silhouette of the target aircraft is getting bigger and bigger.

"Fire!" Dirks shouted loudly, then, with his left hand, he pressed the 0-degree splay on the left ratchet, the final cutout, and then pressed the button with his right hand.

"Da-da-da-da." In an instant, the front turret on the back of the fuselage, the rear turret, all fired!

In normal times, the front turret is controlled by the bombardier, but now that the aircraft has entered the bombing route, the bombardier needs to concentrate on bombing, so the front turret is operated by the main gunner.

Two turrets, four 7mm machine guns, fired at the sky together, and countless bullets formed a network of fire in the sky.

Not only their planes, but at this time, almost a dozen planes, the turrets on top were firing into the sky together, and the top forty-eight 7 mm machine guns were all firing fiercely into the sky.

Takahashi, who rushed down first, immediately realized that the situation was not good, just now in order to pursue the accuracy of the hit, he did not fire at a long distance, because the 20 mm cannon, although the fire is fierce, there is not much ammunition to spare, if you continue to shoot, it will soon be gone, he must get close, and strive for a hit.

Now, he knew that there was a big trouble, and it was like a hedgehog down there!

Forty-eight machine guns, firing into the sky together, what a spectacle it was? In short, in the eyes of the pilot, it seems that there is a rain of death, and whoever goes in will not be able to get out of it.

At the same time as the upper turrets were firing, the lower turrets were also firing.

Originally, it was planned to carry out a sneak attack from below, but now, the forty-eight machine guns below are also firing fiercely below, and the entire flight formation of the B-29 is like a flying fortress, tightly protected on all sides, and there are almost no dead ends!

Yes, there are no dead ends, and any plane that intrudes will be shot into a thousand holes and drag black smoke down.

This is the last life-saving trick of the bomber formation.

In the past, light bombers had at most a machine gun in the tail and had a lot of shooting dead ends, but when they evolved into huge bombers, the number of gun emplacements on the fuselage increased, which greatly enhanced the protection capability, as it does now.

Even without fighter escort, they can protect themselves on their own, and the B-29 is worthy of its title of flying fortress!

There are flying machine gun bullets everywhere, which are impermeable, even if they can't shoot down enemy planes, it is enough to make the opponent retreat, as long as they hold on for a few minutes, they will complete the mission!

It's a pity that they met the islanders.

If it is a German, they will definitely choose to give up, because the Germans have been educated, and they will not exchange their lives for victory unless they have to, the price is too great, they have to protect their lives, and the empire needs them.

However, the island people are different, the island people's brains are tendons, once they recognize something, they will definitely not be afraid of death.

"Long live the Emperor!" In fact, only a second passed, and after Takahashi dived down, the other party opened fire in a vain attempt to expel them, and in an instant, Takahashi made his own choice.

You can't be afraid of these firepower, even if it's a collision, you have to knock them down!

These bombers are going to bomb their own bases, and even if one of the bombers successfully drops the bomb, they will suffer heavy losses, and if they get a bomb on the runway, they will not be able to take off the fighters.

They will never compromise, and at the same time, their chance to intercept is only this once, once the two sides stagger and catch up, the other side will definitely start dropping bombs!

Takahashi shouted loudly, and at the same time, the fighter plane operating himself continued to dive fearlessly.

Behind him, other bombers also swooped down one after another!

The propeller in front of it came out with sparks, it was the propeller that flew the bullet, and the opponent's shot was really accurate!

You won't be left behind!

Takahashi's hand pressed on the lever, and in the vibration of the dive, he pressed the fire button.

"Tom tom." A burst of fire erupted from his shaft cannon, and he was sure that his blow would definitely hit!

At that moment, the nose of his plane suddenly shook, and then, a puff of black smoke came out of the front.

Oh no, there was actually a bullet that went through the propeller and hit his engine, interrupting the oil circuit!

BF109 is strong, it also depends on where it is hit, on the fuselage, on the wings, some bullet holes can withstand it, even if it is a fuel tank, because there is self-closing technology, it is not afraid.

However, the engine in the nose was different, for the sake of engine heat dissipation, it was impossible to protect it with thick armor, and now, the oil pipe was hit, and the high-grade fuel, splashed on the supercharger, immediately burst into flames.

"Die, Yankee!" Takahashi shouted loudly, and from the middle of the flames, he aimed at the position of the opponent's bomber and continued to dive downward, at this moment, he was not afraid of anything.
