Chapter 489: Ravage (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
At two o'clock in the afternoon of March 31, when the 41st Fighter Group of the 4th Air Force was covering the 42nd Bomber Group on its mission, it suddenly noticed a large number of planes flying from the southern sky. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The planes, slow, seemed clumsy. It is even more significantly different from the single-seat aircraft of the German army.
"The plane of the Anglo-French forces was found, and it is not known whether it was the French Falmont F.20 or the British F.E.2b." said the captain of the 41st Fighter Group.
Because the appearance of these two aircraft is too similar. In the face of strong pressure from the German air fleet, Britain and France chose
Immediately, he pulled out his flare gun and fired a flare. The purpose of this flare is to make the bombers drop the bombs immediately and then evacuate.
Although, the German aircraft were much more advanced than those of the Anglo-French forces. However, the bomber was undoubtedly very clumsy. It would be unwise to use bombers against enemy fighters.
After receiving the order, the bombers of the 42nd Bomber Group immediately dropped bombs and then withdrew from the battlefield. At this point, they don't care if they can hit the target accurately. Evacuate the battlefield with emotion, vacate the airspace, and hand it over to the fighters, is the most important thing.
After the bomber group began to withdraw, the captain of the 41st Fighter Group fired another flare. It means that all the pilots of the fighter brigade are ready to meet the battle.
In the absence of success in radio miniaturization technology, the command of air combat can only be done in this old-fashioned way. It's a bit rudimentary, but it's enough.
More than 40 F2 fighters of the German army rushed towards the incoming enemy planes.
Although, the number of aircraft dispatched by the British and French forces was as high as hundreds, which was more than twice that of the German 41st Fighter Group. However, these pilots not only did not have fear, but were also high-spirited.
In an air battle, it is not possible to win with a large number of aircraft. The pilot's flying skills and the performance of the aircraft play the most important role. In front of the German pilots, these planes of the British and French forces were undoubtedly the targets of their slaughter.
The soldiers of the British and French forces on the ground couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw their plane coming, and some even began to cheer. After all, the fierce bombing of the German army before made them pay a great price.
"Take out the planes of the Germans and take them all down!"
"Come on! Warriors of the British Empire, cleanly knock down the German planes! ”
The soldiers of the Anglo-French army on the ground even cheered for their own air force, hoping that they would be able to defeat the German planes. After all, at least in terms of numbers, the Anglo-French fleet had an absolute superiority.
Because of the distance of the battle, it was over the south bank of the Marne. On the German side, it can also be seen clearly.
"Lads of the German Empire, go on! Knock down those French and British planes. ”
"Kill them, brave German pilots!"
The German soldiers were also cheering for their pilots.
Even Qin Tian and other high-ranking members of the German army used binoculars to stare intently at this air battle that was about to break out.
For the pilots on both sides, the cheers on the ground, they could not see and could not hear. Now they have only one mission, and that is to knock down the opposing planes and win this air battle.
The German F2 fighter is very fast, and the maximum speed can reach more than 200 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than the fighter jets equipped by Britain and France. This makes them often have a big advantage over you in battle.
As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, the German F2 fighters took the lead and began to climb. Although Qin Tian is not a soldier, as a professional military enthusiast, he is undoubtedly very clear about some commonly used tactics. In the absence of precision-guided weapons, the most common tactics in air combat are undoubtedly climbing, gaining altitude, then diving to attack, then climbing, then attacking, and so on. This tactic is very effective, especially when dealing with enemy aircraft with poor maneuverability. Even in another time and space, the Japanese-style Zero Battle, which has extremely excellent dogfighting ability, was also defeated under such tactics.
The aircraft that fought with the Germans was the French Air Force. The performance of the Falmont F.20 fighters they were equipped with could not be compared with the German F2 fighters. However, having seen that the German planes began to climb, they immediately followed suit. But because of the disparity in the rate of climb, they are far behind.
"It's self-inflicted to climb with us. Our aircraft are the most advanced in the world. A German pilot, after glancing down at the French plane, said disdainfully.
Sure enough, as the altitude became higher and higher, the French planes behaved more and more hard, and even some planes had power failures because the altitude was too high, and after the engine stopped, they were planted directly from the high altitude to the ground.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Several French planes fell to the ground and exploded, looking at the soldiers on both sides, stunned.
"Oh God! What's going on? Why did our plane fall off on its own? ”
"Haha! The planes of the French are terrible, right? So they fell down, how can they fight us? The German soldiers were already cheering.
There was also a hint of a smile on the corner of Qin Tian's mouth, and he also had a special sense of accomplishment in his heart. With his help, the Germans were equipped with the most advanced aircraft in the world. Now, these advanced aircraft are helping Germany to gain an advantage on the battlefield and win the war step by step.
Faced with the constantly climbing aircraft, the French Air Force was powerless and had to stop climbing. If they continue to climb, I'm afraid that all their fighters will have to fall.
It's just that the German pilots will not let go of this opportunity and immediately attack.
Dozens of aircraft attacked downward from a high altitude, and aviation machine guns began firing.
"Da Da Da!"
Dense rounds of aviation machine gun bullets swept away at the French planes below.
The powerful bullet easily pierced the wooden body and skin of the French plane, leaving large holes in its body.
There were even some French planes, which were directly broken up and fell from a high altitude.
In this era, except for the pilots of the German army, the pilots of other countries were not equipped with parachutes, which meant that after they were shot down twice, there was only one consequence, that is, they were directly smashed into meatloaf.
Under this round of attacks by German aircraft, more than a dozen French aircraft were shot down.
