Chapter 422: Easy Ambush

"Boom!" The aluminum-skinned wing was blasted into a large hole, and the fuselage began to tilt to one side. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Philip in front of him, covered in blood, the glass in front of his cockpit had been shattered, and a piece of shrapnel hit him in the chest, he endured severe pain while pushing the operating stick, trying to control the plane, even if it was a forced landing, it could give the two colleagues behind him a chance to escape.

However, when one wing was shot and the plane deviated violently, he could no longer control it, and in the last seconds of his life, his retina was full of fire.

The bomber, heading towards a burning oil drum, flew up.

"Boom!" Under the violent impact, the crude oil in the oil drum shook out, surrounded the entire plane, and all of them ignited a fire!

At this time, such scenes are playing out everywhere.

The Libyan base, which is what Ciric attaches the most importance to, even if the Air Force cannot be sent to protect it for the time being, the air defense is absolutely first-class, in addition to a large number of Bofors 40-mm anti-aircraft guns, there are also some double-barreled 15-mm anti-aircraft machine guns.

This anti-aircraft machine gun, which can also be considered an old gun, was deformed from the MG151 on the aircraft, with a double-barreled 15 mm barrel and quite ferocious firepower!

When the "fighter" bomber was spotted, the machine gunner pulled the trigger, and in the sound of "da-da-da", gunpowder smoke came out, and one by one 15 mm machine gun bullets fiercely strafed the bomber!

Then, the bomber emitted black smoke and was easily damaged!

"Oh no, run!" Just then, the unexpected happened.

Because of the black smoke, these bombers flew very low, and when they ambushed them, they were almost always very close, and now, this damaged bomber actually fell towards their side!

Several machine gunners ran away quickly, and had just run a dozen meters away when they heard an explosion behind them.

That bomber, just from the position of the machine gun, fell! When it came into contact with the ground, there was a large explosion, and a billowing fireball enveloped the machine gun position that had just begun.

If it weren't for the fast legs, they would have already explained there!

The "fighter" bomber was an indicator that was put forward in Britain behind closed doors, a light fast bomber, and this bloody lesson let the British know that this bomber was outdated.

The survivability of the "Battle" was rather poor, and the idea of using the advantage of speed to get rid of enemy fighters was completely shattered.

Due to the lack of effective armor protection in the crew cockpit. , in the face of blows from below, the "battle" appears especially vulnerable.

The "fighter" bombers that entered the smoke at an ultra-low altitude did not come back, and they were completely destroyed!

In fact, in later generations, this bomber did not have a good life,

In the 40 years of history, when the German blitzkrieg on Western Europe began, 32 "combat" planes were ordered to urgently form an attack wave of the Royal Air Force, delaying the German movement in Luxembourg.

They attacked German targets from an ultra-low altitude of 76 meters with bombs equipped with delayed fuses, but alas, the Germans shot down 13 "Combat" in one fell swoop with only intensive small arms fire, and the rest of the aircraft were injured to varying degrees.

The fate of the second attack wave of the "battle" that afternoon was no less bad, 32 aircraft were shot down by a combined strike of German anti-aircraft artillery and fighters, and 10 were shot down.

And on the same day, 2 "Battle" were all shot down during an attack on German troops in the Netherlands. And that's just the beginning.

The British sadly found that their bombers were not adapted to war at all.

If you want to attack the ground at ultra-low altitudes, you must have heavy armor, develop flying tanks like the Il-2, HS-129, or dive bombing, like the Stuka.

As for the light fast bomber, that's definitely for fun!

The British Air Force's main light and fast bomber in Egypt was thus buried in the smoke, and the 47th Bomber Squadron, hovering in the air, had already found out that something was wrong.

When the light bomber got under the black smoke, there was a stabbing sound on the radio, which was strongly interfered with! Not only were they unable to communicate with the planes below, but it was also difficult for them to communicate with each other.

And when the Blenheim bombers circled around the smoked area, they found that the area was also too large, far exceeding the area of the oil field itself by several times.

At this time, Squadron Leader Stoke already knew that the situation was not good, and there was a problem below!

What to do? Keep bombing?

No, it's weird here, so it's better to go back first!

Stoker circled around the smoke area twice, still unable to wait for the "fighter" bombers below, and he had already decided not to wait any longer, but to return first and wait for the intelligence system's intelligence!

However, the radio was no longer sensitive, so he had to shake the wings to alert the bombers behind him and follow his movements!

The Blenheim bomber has a very special origin, and it is not the same as other bombers.

In 1934, Sir Rothermere, the owner of the Daily Mail, wanted Bristol to design and build an aircraft capable of carrying six passengers and two crew members. It is used to surpass various record-breaking high-speed aircraft such as the German Heinkel He70.

The first flight of this aircraft in 35 years immediately showed excellent performance, especially in terms of speed performance, which actually reached a record of 498 km/h.

Therefore, Sir Rothermere proposed to the British Air Force to convert this aircraft to military use, and in this way, the British light twin-engine bomber, which had a decent performance before World War II, was born.

It was a three-man bomber with the pilot sitting in the nose and the navigator and bomber in the nose, while in the back, a bubble cockpit was added to accommodate a machine gunner with an omnidirectional field of view.

Of course, as a rule, the Heavy is backwards, taking care of his own rear hemisphere.

At this time, Allen, the gunner sitting in the cockpit of the bubbles, was staring boredly at the clear sky high in the sky, and then, his eyes suddenly widened.

A bright spot of silver light, quickly swooping down from high in the sky!

It must be an enemy plane, and there are no fighters to escort it!

In his field of vision, the plane was flying over quickly, and he was surprised to see that this plane had no propellers!

At this time, he was so surprised that he didn't raise the alarm at all, nor did he operate his own twin-mounted 7.7mm machine gun, and there was only one thought in his mind, no propellers, that plane, what kind of monster? Is it from an extraterrestrial?
