Chapter 785: Air Battle

"Whew! Shout! ”

A German F2 fighter swept past a British anti-aircraft machine gun position, and the small bomblets hanging under the wings had been dropped.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The bomb exploded next to this anti-aircraft machine gun position, destroying not only two anti-aircraft machine guns, but also tearing the machine gunners to pieces.

"Da Da Da!"

The British anti-aircraft machine guns also began to fire wildly, and the bullets chased the German fighters in the sky. It's just that because the speed is too fast, the bullets of these anti-aircraft machine guns are difficult to hit.

The German fighters also began to strafe the British anti-aircraft machine gun positions with aviation machine guns, causing more casualties to the British army.

"Very well, kill these Englishmen! How dare they ambush us! The captain of the 31st Fighter Group of the German Army Air Corps looked angry. The ambush of the British just now caused them to lose several planes, and they were still expensive bombers, which already made him not know how to go back and explain.

Despite the bravery and hard work of the British air defenses, ground targets were at a disadvantage in the face of air threats. So much so that they suffered extremely heavy losses under the strafing of German aircraft.

However, the 31st Brigade of the German Army Air Corps was not happy for long. In the clouds not far from them, dozens of British 'camel' fighters were rapidly approaching them with the help of the cover of the clouds.

"God forbid! The Germans, already attracted by anti-aircraft fire from the ground, did not spot us! Here's our chance! "A smile appeared on the face of Lieutenant Colonel Henry, the officer in charge of commanding these British 'camel' fighters. As a veteran pilot who had fought many battles with the German Army Air Corps on the battlefields of France, Lieutenant Colonel Henry was well aware of the horrors of these German fighters.

The Germans are not only ahead in terms of fighter performance, but even the 'Camel' fighter is slightly inferior to the F2 fighter. In terms of the individual abilities and combat skills of the pilots, the Germans were equally superior. The pilots of the German army often experienced many air battles on the battlefield in France, while most of the pilots of the British Royal Air Force were rookies. In contrast, the gap between the two is naturally reflected. Once an air war breaks out between the two sides, it is conceivable what the final result will be.

Therefore, the British Royal Air Force took great pains to deal with the German Army Air Corps. A trap was specially laid to ambush the German Army Air Corps in order to close the gap in strength between the two sides.

"Attack and take out those planes of the Germans!" Lieutenant Colonel Henry then fired a flare with a flare gun.

The British planes were not equipped with radio communication devices like the Germans, which made their command still rely on signal flares. Fortunately, the order to attack was very simple, and every pilot could easily grasp it.

Dozens of 'camel' fighters then rushed out of the clouds and pounced on the German planes.

"Da Da Da!"

Aviation machine guns began strafing, and dense bullets were fired at the German aircraft group.

The first to be hit were the H1 bombers. Quite a few H1 bombers, having raised the altitude and removed the threat of ground-based anti-aircraft weapons, did not leave, but waited for orders. But after the fighter forces have cleared the ground of the threat, they will continue to attack. But now they are in a difficult situation.

The bullets of the aviation machine gun easily pierced the body of the H1 bomber, making large holes in the body one after another.

After being shot, the pilot inside could no longer control the plane, causing the plane to fall straight to the ground.

Although the H1 bomber was larger and more robust than the fighter. But under the sudden attack of the British fighters, these bulky bombers could not dodge at all, and one after another were shot down.

"Shit! Fighters of the British! ”

"Oh God! I've been hit, I'm falling! ”

"Drop the bomb and go back immediately!"

"Fighters come and cover us, expel the fighters of the British!"

The entire bomber formation was in a mess. The pilots of those bombers probably encountered such a situation for the first time, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all. Even if the bomber has a machine gun for self-defense, it will not be able to exert its strength at all!

"Bastard! We were actually attacked by the British! "The captain of the 31st Fighter Group of the German Army Air Corps could not believe this result at all. He cursed as he ordered his fighters to rescue the bombers.

The German F2 fighters, which began to climb, prepared for the battle with the British Royal Air Force.

However, at the moment the RAF has a high superiority, and it will undoubtedly be very difficult for the German Army Air Corps to launch a counterattack against the RAF.

In terms of air combat tactics, the Royal Air Force also trained according to the tactics of the German army. This makes the tactics they use very similar.

Taking advantage of the altitude, several 'Camel' fighters began to dive, fitting the German F2 fighter into the scope.

"Da Da Da!"

The Camel's aerial machine guns opened fire, and a dense array of aerial bombs was fired at the German F2 fighters.

The nose of an F2 fighter was hit, causing engine damage and dragging smoke to the ground. Although the pilot parachuted in time, after falling into the hands of the British, it was clear that it would not end well.

Another F2 fighter jet, the pilot was shot directly. The plane, which lost control, fell to the ground and exploded into a fireball.

There was also an F2 fighter jet whose wings were broken in two, and the plane lost its balance and fell to the ground.

It can be said that in the process of this encounter, the German Army Air Corps suffered extremely heavy losses under the sudden blow of the British Royal Air Force. Fighter planes are constantly being shot down.

Especially those H1 bombers, the losses were very large.

The fighter pilots of the German Army Air Corps, after an initial panic, finally calmed down and began to use the performance advantages of the F2 fighter to engage the British Royal Air Force.

"Da Da Da!"

Aviation machine guns fired incessantly, and bullets chased the fighters through the air. The pilots of both sides launched a fierce battle in this sky. It was not only German planes that were shot down, but also the Royal Air Force 'Camel' fighters. The combat effectiveness of the German pilots was gradually brought into play, and they began to deal a heavy blow to the British Royal Air Force.

However, because the losses were too great at the beginning, and the ammunition of the aviation machine guns was consumed too much, the air battle did not last long and ended.
