Chapter 1764: It's Not the U.S. Navy (Added 3)
When the aircraft carrier was built, the need for jet aircraft was taken into account, and a steam catapult was installed in advance, and in peacetime, the carrier-based aircraft could take off normally under its own power, but at such a critical time as now, the carrier-based aircraft needed to take off quickly, and the advantages of the catapult were shown.
By the time the F190 left the deck, the speed had already reached 400 kilometers per hour, and the pilot skillfully pulled up the control stick, and the fighter began to climb rapidly, following the direction of radio guidance, and pounced.
Hitler's aircraft carrier, inside the bridge, after hearing the news of the early warning, General Mashal was also immediately stunned and hurried to the command room several cabins apart.
They won easily last time, but the Führer Ciric instructed them to be vigilant when returning home.
Therefore, even though it was a return voyage, the entire aircraft carrier formation still sent patrol planes to fly around its own formation to beware of US planes that might appear at any time.
After the end of the last operation, there was a circuit failure, and the personnel on the aircraft carrier have not been eliminated, and they must be sent back to the base, so they still use the old method and use aircraft to patrol, after all, this time the Haiyan 1 was also experimental, and did not plan to rely on it completely.
Sure enough, the Americans are here again!
The road is narrow.
It was Lieutenant Colonel Emile Lange who discovered the ultra-low altitude of the American plane, who was cruising in the southwest direction of the fleet in his own repaired fighter plane, and saw several bright spots on the sea below, and at this time the sun was just to the east of him, and under the light of the sun, those bright spots were clearly visible.
Lieutenant Colonel Lange immediately pressed the lever and dived down with his wingman.
Closer, closer, when he clearly saw the outlines of those fighters below, Lieutenant Colonel Lange was stunned, it was not those US Navy planes with inverted seagull wings!
Ordinary straight wings, the cockpit is located in the middle, and in front of it is a huge engine that drives a four-bladed propeller.
When he saw the propeller, Lieutenant Colonel Lange knew that the target was a fighter with advanced power, and he quickly compared it in his head.
"Shar Pei reports that the USS Hitler is flying a fighter from the US Army Air Corps, the P-51 Mustang."
Able to have an advanced power system, the wings are normal, and looking at other characteristics, Lieutenant Colonel Lange knows that it is a fighter plane of the US Army.
The Americans are really interesting, don't their navies and land forces work together?
This time, let yourself meet their kind of fighters!
Lieutenant Colonel Lange knows very well that the last air battle confirmed that the performance of the latest fighter of the US Navy is already comparable to his own, and he must be extra careful in combat, and now, what about the performance of this fighter of the US Army Air Corps? Just give yourself a try!
Lieutenant Colonel Lange's F190, dashing towards the bottom, at the same time, the Mustang fighters below also spotted him.
"Attention, mission changes, drop bombs, prepare for dogfight." In the engine room, Captain Phillips, who was leading the team, shouted over the radio.
They were the first group of troops, they were to carry out exploratory attacks, and if they were not discovered, they carried bombs over the German formations, threw bombs into confusion in their formations, giving other fraternal units in the rear a chance to take advantage of, and if they were discovered, dropped their bombs and entered a state of dogfight.
The Navy's F4U is on par with German fighters in terms of performance, so the Mustang fighter of our own side must be the same!
Like the Navy's F4U, the Mustang can carry out bombing missions.
Now, after dropping the bomb, Captain Phillips felt his fuselage light, he pushed the throttle stick, and the liquid-cooled engine in front of him let out a roar, black smoke came out, and the fighter began to accelerate.
At this time, the F190 in the sky had already dived down at high speed, and Lieutenant Colonel Lange aimed at a Mustang fighter during the dive, and just when the two sides were approaching, he pressed the button.
"Tom tom!" The 20-mm cannon fired only three shells, and the target's wing was broken, tumbling and falling downward.
Win the first battle!
Almost at the same time, the other fighters also surrounded, a group fight situation was about to form, Lieutenant Colonel Lange knew that at this time in the horizontal plane of maneuvering and fighting, it was quite inappropriate, the experience of the last time and F4U fighting, has begun to be analyzed in the fleet, the opponent's aircraft have a more rapid hovering ability, than circling is the most stupid.
Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Lange immediately pulled up his plane after the blow, hugged the operating stick to his chest, and the fighter lightly turned from dive to climb, and rushed straight up.
At the same time, in order to avoid the same situation as last time, Lieutenant Colonel Lange turned on the nitrogen acceleration, which gave his fighter more rapid climb.
Catch up!
Of course, Captain Phillips will not let it go, and it will not be long before a large number of German carrier-based planes will arrive, and take advantage of the present opportunity to kill these two German fighters first.
His throttle was fully open, and at this time, he pulled up the lever and chased after the other party.
The opponent turned from dive to climb, and Phillips's fighter plane climbed directly, so when the opponent began to climb, Phillips felt that his fighter plane climbed more rapidly, chased after him, and killed him!
The F190 floated past his eyes, and Captain Phillips seized the opportunity to press the button.
"Da-da-da-da." The 12.7mm machine gun roared, and the bullets covered the opponent.
The other party must have been shot!
Just in Phillips's expectation, the other party actually rushed out of the rain of bullets and continued to climb up without any impact, which was simply beyond his expectations.
No, the fire system of your own fighters is too weak, the machine guns are no longer suitable, and you must use large-caliber aerial guns!
Phillips wanted to catch up and continue to replenish the bullets, but the F190 fighter in his field of vision gradually became smaller on his retina.
How can it be?
The success of the Mustang fighter lies in the advanced airfoil, excellent aerodynamic layout, aerodynamic drag greatly reduced, fuel greatly increased, and the result became a generation of famous aircraft, if you simply compare the engine, the Mustang fighter does not have an advantage.
Although the Mustang fighter can sprint to 708 kilometers per hour at a top speed, it is absolutely perverted, but now compared to climbing, its slightly weaker engine still drags it down, and it can't keep up with the opponent's climb at all!
That is, as soon as the F190 pulls up, the air battle is over!
