Chapter 1732: Almost Missed (Plus 7)
Lots and lots of them, definitely one of the most amateurish words.
In military terms, even if it is approximate, it is better than many, many, many, how much? Ten, a hundred, or a thousand?
At this time, the Buffalo group was already in a state of panic under the agitation of two F190 fighters, they were holding on, waiting, and now, at last, saw the large group of Germans.
How many planes are there? The commander didn't have time to count them, but in any case, he saw a large expanse in the sky, and, by the time he saw it, the planes were already swooping down from the sky with a sharp roar, ready to attack them.
It can be confirmed that the Germans took off carrier-based aircraft.
At the same time, although the German surface fleet was huge and organized a large fleet, the United States did not know what the exact number was.
If they could take even a single photo from the sky, they would be able to determine it, but the Americans had no chance, and when their maritime reconnaissance plane flew far away, it was intercepted by German fighters.
Who would have thought that the German Navy would directly commit six aircraft carriers in order to attack Greenland?
After receiving the news of the sortie of carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy, the real attack of the US Navy began.
Take off, take off now!
At the Gusby Air Base, three flares were launched into the sky, and when the flares were seen, Roy, who was already sitting in the cabin, started his engine.
His fighter plane, carrying two 1,000-pound bombs, also became heavy.
Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine in front, puffs of black smoke came out, and soon, the whole fuselage trembled, this engine can emit 2000 horsepower surging power, is an advanced engine developed by the United States in order to catch up with the footsteps of German fighters.
The F-4U Corsair, which released the brakes and poured the Seagull's wing, began to slowly glide towards the runway.
The inverted seagull wing, which was invented by the Germans, so to speak, became known throughout the European theater with the roar of the Stuka. At the same time, on carrier-based aircraft of the Navy, the inverted Seagull wing can significantly shorten the distance of the landing gear and is more suitable.
This latest fighter is the masterpiece of the Walter Company, just after the Buffalo fighter was equipped with troops, the US Navy knew that this aircraft had become outdated, and it was necessary to have a more advanced aircraft.
When parked on the runway, Roy looked at his side, Cross's plane, next to his plane, at this time, Cross was also looking at him, with some uncertain gaze in his eyes.
This is a battle that will affect the fate of the United States, so let's do it!
After the fighter planes in front took off, Roy and Cross's planes also slid down the runway, carrying heavy bombs, and were pulled up almost at the end of the runway.
The decline in maneuverability is certain, and this is a fighter, but the bombs carried by it, have already surpassed many bombers.
Throw these two bombs on the deck of a German aircraft carrier!
In addition to the Gusbe base, the other coastal bases almost all received orders at the same time, they were quickly taking off and heading to the target sea area, and they were already prepared in their hearts, and many people were destined to never come back.
When the follow-up troops took off and rushed to the war zone, the melee of the buffalo aircraft group had reached its peak.
"Da-da-da-da." Lieutenant Colonel Lange's 20-mm cannon has run out of shells, and now only a few hundred rounds of ammunition remain, and his results have risen to the 15th, and he will soon set a single shot down record for the entire aviation unit.
Lieutenant Colonel Lange was very stingy with ammunition and could only fire when he was absolutely sure, and now, as his bullets strafed into the Buffalo fighters in front of him, black smoke rose from the front of the opponent and rolled downward.
At this moment, suddenly, out of the corner of Lieutenant Colonel Lange's eyes, a dark shadow swept towards his fighter, the angle was quite tricky, and no matter how he dodged, he couldn't get rid of it calmly.
So, Lieutenant Colonel Lange was ruthless, pulled the operating stick, and flew towards the other party, and the two planes flew against each other.
This is the most competitive with courage and perseverance.
The two sides fly against each other and shoot at each other at the same time, and the probability of the bullet hitting the other side is almost equal, which of course has an element of luck.
More importantly, the final outcome of the pair of flights is to collide with each other, and in order to avoid collisions, there will be one who has to pull up first, then, whoever pulls up first, who will give up his belly to the other party, and the result is to be shot down by the other party, once it falls into the situation of the pair of flights, it is simply a dead land.
Now, Lieutenant Colonel Lange and Söhne can't care so much, and he is definitely not afraid of competing for courage.
The two planes were rapidly approaching, and the outline of the other plane's plane was gradually clear on Lieutenant Colonel Lange's retina, the propellers, the wings, and even the cannons.
It's not good, it's your own plane!
At this time, the sky is chaotic, all kinds of planes are chasing each other, fighting each other, if it is a tail chase, it is easy to see the opposite plane, if it is head-on, it is very close to see clearly.
Like now.
Just after discovering that the plane on the other side was his own, Lieutenant Colonel Lange could only curse in his heart, and then pushed the lever to dive.
Yes, it's not climbing, it's diving, it's faster to dive away, and it's easier for the other side to see clearly and prevent being killed by the other side.
It's impossible to greet each other on the radio because they're not on the same frequency band.
The radio is very useful and can call your own wingman, but when a large number of planes are gathered in the airspace of the battlefield, you have to separate the frequency bands, otherwise, everyone will be talking inside, and no one can hear clearly.
Lieutenant Colonel Lange and the newly arrived fighter plane joining the war group were not on the same frequency band, and even if he called, the other party could not hear them.
Lieutenant Colonel Lange pushed the control stick, and the fighter began to dive, and at this moment, he was even more shocked into a cold sweat, and the other party actually dived?
At the same time, the other side also recognized the mistake and took the same way.
The two planes were about to collide, Lieutenant Colonel Lange kicked the rudder, and the fighter plane turned sharply to the right, and at the same time the fuselage turned ninety degrees around the axis, hoping that the other party would not be a left-hander!
The two planes, each with their bodies on their sides, almost touched their bellies, and flew whistling through the air, and Lieutenant Colonel Lange, who had escaped death, seemed to see the dense downing results under the cockpit of the other side when the two sides passed by, and it seemed that he was also an old flying bird.
Although he had just escaped death, Lieutenant Colonel Lange was not afraid, and there were still many fighters waiting for him to clean up! Keep up the record!
