Chapter 1738: Hiding in the Clouds (Supplement 12)
The pirate fighter with the wings of the inverted seagull swooped down in the sky at an angle of almost 90 degrees, as if it was a stone falling from outer space, and the speed of the dive increased dramatically, even making the engine unable to keep up with the rhythm, and the propeller in front was no longer driven by the engine, but pushed by the air flow blowing in front.
The engine whined, the wings were blown by the airflow, and a characteristic whistling-like sound was made, and then the rudder surface of the tail began to move, and the front ailerons were also helping to pry the plane up.
The fuselage, slowly beginning to get out of the dive, gradually flattened, but, at this moment, suddenly, the sea was already in front of you.
The pirate didn't want to fall into the sea, and it seemed to want to struggle, but it didn't work, it couldn't get rid of the force of the fall, so the propeller first touched the surface.
The water was soft, but when the propeller hit the sea, the propeller was quickly bent under the violent impact, and at the same time, the sea water was also stirred, and a huge splash was made, covering the entire plane.
Then, there was the nose of the plane, which plunged diagonally into the sea, and in front of Cross's eyes, the first thing he saw was the propeller, and then the tumbling sea, lapping his plane.
Then, a flame rose from the front.
Yes, when it crashed into the sea, the Corsair fighter actually burned.
The front is a star-shaped engine, after a series of flights, the engine is at its hottest, when the propeller is bent, a propeller has been completely bent, it tore open the skin of the front nose, the engine is completely broken, and the high-grade aviation fuel inside all leaks out, on the hot heat sink, quickly burned.
Oh, God!
Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by this fire, Cross's eyes changed again, and at this time, the fuselage was completely immersed in the seawater, and the cold sea water covered the fire, and the fire was extinguished due to the lack of oxygen.
Under the violent tremors, Cross passed out, and his fighter plane, constantly spitting out clumps of bubbles, slowly fell downward.
Today, I don't know how many American pilots, like him, entered the icy Atlantic Ocean and never came up again, and this tragic sea and air battle is still continuing.
Roy was flying steadily, and in front of his course, German destroyers had already appeared.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The 88-mm anti-aircraft gun was fired in the direction of Roy, this large-caliber anti-aircraft gun, the firing distance was very long, and when it found that this fish had slipped through the net and was flying towards itself, the anti-aircraft gun immediately opened fire.
"Tom, tom!" The 40-mm carrier-based Bofors anti-aircraft guns are also firing fiercely, compared with the 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, this kind of anti-aircraft guns are bursting, and the rate of fire is more fierce.
Dense firepower was fired towards Roy's fighter, and suddenly, near Roy's fighter, there was black smoke from the explosion of shells, which was like purgatory on earth!
Roy felt his steering stick tremble, due to the air flow from the explosion of the other party's shells, but, very fortunately, none of the shells accurately hit him.
Then, Roy pulled the joystick, operated his own fighter, climbed up with difficulty, and then saw nothing in front of him.
Roy ducked into the clouds.
In air combat, clouds are a good helper, clouds are a common meteorological condition, and the area of clouds is so large that when you hide in the clouds, no one will find him.
Of course, the clouds are also very dangerous, for example, when you are in a dense formation, it is easy to collide in the air when you pass through the clouds, and in the current situation, there are fighters everywhere, and it is likely that other fighters will also find him.
Roy guessed right.
When Alcatra got up, he looked at the unlucky guy below, and sure enough, you weren't good enough in all aspects, and you thought that you were crushed to death in all aspects of mobility.
At least, the dive turns to the climb, or its own fighters are more flexible!
Alcatel still remembers that there was a bomber with bombs, and after getting rid of the other party, Alcatel quickly climbed up and began to search, but the surrounding airspace was actually empty, where was the enemy plane?
Alcatel calmed down and gradually searched from the edge of his own fleet, and sure enough, he found the target, and at this time, the other party was nimbly burrowing into the clouds!
It's so damning!
Alcatel pulled the lever, turned on the nitrogen acceleration, and headed towards the clouds where the opponent was hiding as fast as he could.
The clouds were drifting towards the center of the fleet.
Shoot into the clouds!
At this time, one after another, the escort warships operated their anti-aircraft guns and fired fiercely at the milky white clouds.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The 88-mm anti-aircraft gun is still the main force, and every time its gun body sits backwards, a shell comes out with a sharp roar, and the flames at the muzzle of the gun have not dissipated, one after another.
The shells were in the clouds, constantly exploding, and everyone's eyes were on the clouds, very much hoping to see that terrible bomber fall from the clouds, but it never was.
The explosion of the shells made the clouds thicker and darker, and at this time, as the clouds continued to drift towards the formation, everyone became nervous.
Port side of the aircraft carrier Munich, the German-class battleship Rützov.
"Quick, artillery radar, start!" On the bridge, the captain shouted: "That enemy plane must be shot down!" ”
If you get into the clouds, you can't see it with the naked eye, and when the opponent suddenly jumps down from the sky, it will definitely go straight to the aircraft carrier formation, and you must destroy it immediately.
Optical sighting equipment is no longer effective at this time, and the only way is to use gun-aiming radar.
Now, in the entire fleet, only the Lützov is equipped, which can be considered experimental in nature, proposed by the Führer Cirich.
In addition to installing the radar on the aircraft for air early warning, the radar can also be installed on the anti-aircraft artillery and control the automatic shooting of the anti-aircraft artillery through the automatic shooting commander, which is the most advanced artillery aiming radar in this era!
At his command, just at the rear of the hull, on the side of a twin 88-mm anti-aircraft gun, a radar was quickly activated. The current passes through the magnetron and becomes a steady stream of electromagnetic waves, radiating towards the clouds.
