Chapter 616: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea (4)
In an instant, the sky was full of planes chasing each other, rolling, climbing, and diving, bullets from machine guns flying in the air, and planes were constantly being beaten down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The performance advantages of the BF109 are reflected, the performance of the British carrier-based aircraft at this time is too poor, and it is not the opponent of the German BF109 at all, and the Swordfish carrier-based aircraft is actually a biplane torpedo aircraft in World War I, and it is completely dead in front of the BF109.
At this time, the two sides didn't care about any formation, they were completely scuffled, Scott and another plane were one behind the other, biting a large European carrier-based aircraft in front of them was a burst of machine guns, although the large European carrier-based aircraft in front kept rolling, but still did not escape the fate of being shot down.
Suddenly, Scott heard an exclamation over the radio:
"Be careful, there are two planes under you that bite up." Scott pushed the rudder to the left and pulled the lever to his side as he slammed the lever to his side. BF109 immediately roared and climbed to the upper left.
"Dada...... Da Da ......"
A long line of bullets grazed the tail of Scott's plane, and the plane that followed Scott hurriedly rushed up, and fired a long point at the plane in front of him, and before the big European plane had time to adjust its direction, it was hit with thick smoke billowing and whimpering and fleeing into the distance, the bf109 did not dare to pursue, and quickly turned to the right, because the British wingman also began to shoot at him fiercely.
The worst is the swordfish torpedo machine, the speed of this kind of aircraft is 220 kilometers per hour, compared with the speed of more than 700 kilometers per hour of the BF109, it is simply a turtle speed, and the swordfish torpedo machine basically has no power to fight back in front of the BF109.
The nasal tube swallow fighter is slightly better, but the performance of this aircraft still cannot be compared with the BF109T model, it is really not a grade fighter, the British and German fighters are on the Spitfire fighter in one grade, and even the Hurricane aircraft is worse than the BF109, after the BF109 uses disposable drop fuel tanks, his short range has also been greatly improved, at least there is not much problem in providing escort for medium-range bombers like JU87.
However, these two planes were all destroyed on the ground, and the British carrier-based aircraft were too poor in performance, and it is estimated that after this air war, Britain will immediately replace its carrier-based aircraft on a large scale, such as the Sea Hurricane, the Sea Spitfire, the Barracuda Torpedo Plane, etc., and the British in history will not begin large-scale replacement until 40 years later, and I don't know if it will speed up the replacement after this devastating blow.
"Dada...... Da Da ......"
Scott kept pulling the joystick, his landline perfectly drew a big circle in the air, and the British plane that had just gone to pursue his wingman was bitten by Scott's tail again, and a burst of cannons passed, directly hitting the British plane into a volley explosion.
The planes in the air are still fighting with each other, but at least seventy or eighty percent of the planes planted in the sky are old British carrier-based aircraft, which is the gap in the performance of the aircraft.
There are constantly planes falling in the air, and there is no suspense that the British carrier-based aircraft were completely annihilated by the German BF109. At this time, Campbell, who had run out of the basement to watch the battle, was so angry that he smashed the telescope in his hand directly to the ground, and then quickly returned to the basement, Campbell muttered as he walked:
"It's over, it's over, this damn German guy is so despicable, using sneak attack tactics, my plane! How can I explain it to the Prime Minister! ”
Campbell almost cried urgently, such a big thing, Campbell absolutely did not dare to hide it, back in the basement, he immediately sent a report to the British Ministry of Defense, reporting that Germany had vilely attacked the military airfield at Scapa Bend, all the planes were lost, and the airfield was seriously damaged. Now even if the British wanted to send planes from elsewhere to reinforce it, it was impossible because there were no airfields available.
The same fate was true of the Hoy airfield, because there were no British carrier-based aircraft to harass it, and it was even more completely destroyed, and not a single part of the entire airfield was intact, and the ammunition depot, fuel depot, airfield, and anti-aircraft artillery were all destroyed. Originally, the second group of BF109s wanted to support the first group, but Commander Scott had already sent an order to all of them to return. Even if these BF109s have been equipped with a 500-liter auxiliary fuel tank, they can just stay in the air combat area for about 25 minutes, otherwise there will be no fuel to return home.
As soon as Scott returned, more than 200 JU87s followed, although the area in Scapa Bend was large, but for hundreds of aircraft, it was really not a problem, and a few minutes later JU87 searched for the British home fleet, at this time the huge British fleet anchored in Scapa Bend was retreating in full force.
Because Britain's home fleet is divided into the Atlantic Fleet and the English Channel Fleet, the Atlantic Fleet is the absolute main force of the British home fleet, with 7 battleships, 4 aircraft carriers, 13 heavy cruisers, and the other warships add up to 50 or 60, gunboats are not counted at all.
The British Atlantic Fleet did not dare to disperse and escape, and now the entire fleet was still in Scapa Bend, and it was absolutely impossible for warships to outrun the planes. British Fleet Commander Charr? Forbes really had no choice but to line up his fleet in an anti-aircraft formation and quickly retreat to the North Sea.
The fleet had just sent out all the carrier-based aircraft in a desperate gamble, but as a result, Forbes collapsed, and he sent out more than 120 planes, and came back with less than 20 planes, with a loss of more than 80 percent, and Forbes learned from his own pilots that the German planes were all BF109, which was much better than the carrier-based aircraft on his side, and it was a one-sided slaughter.
These carrier-based planes returning to the British aircraft carrier were still refueling, and another huge German aircraft group came, and these German dive bombers automatically divided into dozens of squads as soon as they arrived, rushed to the sky above their respective air attack targets, and then dived vertically from the sky.
Without Forbes' order, all the warships immediately fired fiercely into the air, and the dozen or so carrier-based planes that had just returned also hurriedly stopped refueling and reloading and prepared for an emergency takeoff.
The commander of the ju87 is the "coward" Gail, in fact, Gale is just the cowardice caused by the first actual battle, and now Gale has long been a heroic and fearless ju87 dive bomber commander, but everyone likes to quietly call him "nickname" behind his back.
Gale commanded four squadrons to launch the most fierce and fearless dive bombardment against the four British aircraft carriers, and although countless fire whips were stirring in the sky, they still could not stop these Ju87 dive attacks:
"Woooooooooo......oo Da Da ......"
Gale was still the first to dive, and the target of his air attack was the British aircraft carrier Tejradish, and behind Gale was a long line of Ju87s, which were now flying at an altitude of five thousand meters, an altitude that only a few large-caliber British anti-aircraft guns could reach.
