Chapter 323: The Air Battle of the Gunboat Machine
Ivanov found out that it was actually some transport planes that surrounded them! Of course, there are more than a dozen monoplane fighters, but there are more than 20 transport planes, and there are more than 30 monoplane fighters on the other side. And now they have less than 20 fighters left, and the fierce fire of the airfield anti-aircraft fire just now has shot down more than two-thirds of their fighters. No, to be precise, it blooms in the air! He still had palpitations at those long red whips!
Ivanov did not know about the other party's Vulcan cannons, because they were pilots of the international column, so they had not seen that the republic also had Vulcan cannons. Of course, they didn't know that it was the M30 gunboat plane that surrounded them, and he thought it was a transport plane! So Ivanov secretly breathed a sigh of relief, those transport planes are simply looking for death, but those monoplane fighters are a little special, he knows that monoplane fighters are superior to biplane fighters in flight performance, so what he is afraid of now is the opponent's monoplane fighters. However, he also saw clearly that the opponent's monoplane fighter is a two-seater, which means that it is a training aircraft, which is much better, after all, the trainer aircraft modified fighter will definitely not be too strong in terms of performance.
Now those M30 gunboats and A1 attack planes have an altitude advantage, and they have long detected the attack of enemy aircraft, so they flew to the clouds and waited for their opportunity. Sure enough, those Soviet-made fighters were fooled and were hit by Vulcan guns on the ground, two-thirds of the Soviet-made enemy planes were blown up, and the pilots and weapon operators of the gunboat planes and A1 attack planes also had some itchy hands. They will not let go of such a good opportunity, this is the first time that gunboats have been used for air combat, originally they did not dare to do this, but the technicians from the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex said that they could, the M30 gunboat aircraft is fully capable of fighting those Soviet-made biplane fighters. According to the technical staff of the fundamental Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, the M30 gunboat has two Vulcan cannons. With an anti-aircraft range of nearly 2,000 meters, there is no pressure at all against those biplanes that are surprisingly slow and have weak firepower.
Indeed, in the history of air warfare, there are also many examples of bombers shooting down fighters, and now gunboat aircraft have great firepower. Shooting down a biplane fighter like the I-3 is not a problem at all, and besides, those enemy pilots don't know the power of the M30 gunboat at all, and they will definitely think that they can pick up the bargain and rush up at the first end. The last thing the M30 gunboat plane is afraid of is firing at each other, and it is afraid that the enemy plane will take advantage of its strong maneuverability to dodge.
Sure enough, when the pilots of the international column saw that two-thirds of the enemy planes were transport planes, they laughed one after another, and the fear they had just now had long since been thrown out of the clouds. They seized the opportunity. They rushed up against the transporters. They found that the transporters were not afraid of death, and played a game of confrontation with them. Although they knew that those transport planes must have machine gun firepower, and the other side had a high altitude advantage, no matter what, it was also a transport plane, stupid and stupid, how could it be possible to hit these small and nimble fighters of theirs!
As for those monoplane fighters, the pilots of the international column are a little jealous, so they are completely picking up soft persimmons. I played a hedging flight game with the M30 gunboat.
The M30 gunboats were not afraid, and one after another pounced on those Yi-3 and Yi-15 fighters. The I-15 fighter is an extremely flexible aircraft. Its horizontal hovering is even better than that of the monoplane A1 attack aircraft, and when the opponent is not a complete rookie and has been prepared, it is almost impossible to take out the opponent directly with a single dive, and the I-15 or I-3 fighter only needs a light turn to make the M30 gunboat plane pounce at high speed. At this time, the Yi-15 or Yi-3 fighters can still take advantage of their good maneuverability to attack, and the M30 gunboat aircraft looks very dangerous. On the face of it, it is. In fact, the firepower of the M30 gunboat is too powerful. Those I-series fighters simply couldn't get close.
The attack of the first M30 gunboat aircraft was easily dodged by an I-15 fighter from afar: a light turn and nothing more. But the attack of the M30 gunboat was just beginning: just as the pilot of the international column was proud of this beautiful dodge, another M30 gunboat swooped down on him, and from a long distance, the nose of the enemy plane could be seen to the side. Turning the fuselage to the side of him, he still didn't understand what was going on, what was the enemy transport plane going to do? Just as he was wondering, he saw the side of the transport plane's fuselage begin to spew flames.
This gunboat machine used the Vulcan cannon on the side of the fuselage to fire at the enemy plane 1,000 meters away, but the gunboat machine's weapon operator was holding up a lot of energy, and the Vulcan cannon on the ground just now was hitting the enemy plane in the air, and he didn't want to fall short, so that the Vulcan gun gunners on the ground laughed at his poor level. The Vulcan Cannon really did not disappoint him, only to see a long rain of red bullets pounced on the biplane fighter, although far away, the gunner did not spare the shells, he shot at the biplane fighter is two long points, a total of more than a hundred shells pounced on the biplane fighter.
The pilot of the I-15 fighter plane watched a string of shells hit his plane, and then he didn't know anything as soon as his eyes turned red, because he and his plane turned into a bright red peony flower! This Yi-15 fighter was hit and exploded in the air!
Some of the other head-on Iraqi series fighters were even more miserable, they had not yet had time to attack, because the distance was too far, their fighters only had 7.7 mm machine guns on them, and only when they were close to two or three hundred meters of fire could they have a chance to hit the enemy planes, and now the distance was only more than one thousand meters, and they found that those transport planes showed one side of the fuselage as soon as they yawed, and before they understood what was going on, they found that they were greeted by a string of red bullets!
So Ivanov could only watch as his men were torn to pieces by the furious fire of the enemy transports that swooped in. He was cunning, and did not choose to rush up stupidly, but used maneuverability to go around behind the enemy's transport plane. Unfortunately, he was also targeted by two A1 attack planes, although the A1 attack aircraft also used machine guns, two 7.7mm machine guns, but it was enough to shoot down a small biplane fighter like the I-15. Dozens of 7.7mm machine gun rounds hit Ivanov's plane, and he quickly crashed to the ground with it, and then the I-15 fighter fell headlong on the ground, let out a deafening explosion, and then turned into a ball of fire.
This operation of the international column failed, and it was completely annihilated, and not a single one of the 60 fighters returned! The M30 gunboat aircraft fought for the first time, and it turned out to be an air battle, and it won a complete victory, which cannot but be said to be a perfect air battle! (To be continued.) )
