Chapter 39: A Portrait of a Beaten
Nearly 200 whips stirred in the air, and the fully loaded French bombers were miserable, and more than a dozen bombers were hit and caught fire.
The fast-moving crew was able to successfully parachute, but more of the crew returned to the embrace of the earth with their beloved plane, turning into a flame rising from the ground in the air.
This is not the most miserable, some bombers were hit by the German large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, the huge body of the bomber is like paper paste, the whole plane was directly hit by a volley explosion, all kinds of metal parts flying all over the sky, what about the crew? It's minced meat, and you can still see it there.
Marcel was so angry that he cursed angrily, "fuckyou" (Q, hehe. Similar to the Chinese "go to you"! If it's a fight between the two sides, it can be understood as "****** mom"!)
"Those goddamn spies deserve to be sent to hell."
Until now, Marcel had suspected that there were German spies among the top echelons of their family, otherwise the Germans would not have been able to deploy so many anti-aircraft guns in advance to deal with his fleet.
Fortunately, there were no German planes to come to support, and Marcel was about to fight to the death, and he immediately ordered through the radio:
"The bomber fleet continues to reduce altitude, and at all costs it is necessary to blow up the pontoon bridges of the Germans, and for the sake of France, all the sacrifices are worth it."
The height of the accurate bombing of horizontal bombers is generally about 1,000 meters, and now Marcel's bombers are at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and it is still very difficult to hit the pontoon bridge where the target is not too large, and in order to ensure the accuracy of the bombers, they can only reduce the altitude at all dangers.
Marcel gave another most correct order:
"All fighters immediately dived down and attacked the German anti-aircraft artillery positions from all directions...... Execute it now. ”
Every step forward of the bomber fleet had to pay a huge price, and from time to time there were volleys of bombers and smoke bombers, but these French air forces were not afraid to die, and they approached the pontoon bridge over the Meuse River without fear.
The German anti-aircraft artillery units below were also firing fiercely into the air, dragging bullets flying all over the sky, and just when the German anti-aircraft artillery was fighting vigorously, the French fighters at high altitude swooped down, these fighters were much more agile than bombers, and they had a speed advantage in diving down from a high place.
The German anti-aircraft artillery unit, which was fighting vigorously, was suddenly taken by surprise, and five or six anti-aircraft guns were attacked by French fighters, and all the gunners were killed in the gun position. The French combat equipment was a 7.62 mm machine gun, which may have been less powerful against aircraft, but it was simply very useful against infantry, and each aircraft could carry thousands of rounds.
After a short period of panic, the Germans immediately divided their anti-aircraft guns into two, some of which continued to deal with bombers, and some of which were specialized in dealing with the French fighters who were scurrying all over the sky, and the French fighters had the advantage of flexibility and altitude, but they were shot down one by one, and if the German anti-aircraft gunners were killed, several German soldiers immediately did not know from which corner to turn out and run to the gun position to continue firing at the air.
The weapon disadvantage of the French fighters came out, just by virtue of the power of the machine guns, there was no way to destroy the anti-aircraft guns, except for hitting the ammunition boxes next to the gun emplacement, but these Germans were very cunning, their ammunition was not next to the gun emplacement, they dug an air raid shelter not far from the gun emplacement, and the ammunition of each air defense gun was stored in the air raid shelter, and the light machine guns of the French fighters really had no way to destroy the German air defense guns, they could only retreat to the next best thing and hunt the gunners.
Both sides are desperate, from time to time German gunners are killed by French planes on the gun position, and French bombers and fighters are also shot down from time to time, casualties on both sides are increasing, French bombers have approached the sky above the pontoon bridge.
Marcel, who has been cruising at high altitudes, as the supreme commander, will not directly participate in the battle, his role is to command the entire group, and suddenly the pilot shouted at him:
"Airplane...... The planes of the Germans came......"
"Fa Q, this is definitely a conspiracy, this is an ambush set up by the Germans through a damn spy...... O my God! How are there so many German BF109 fighters. ”
A group of black-pressed German BF109 fighters are approaching at high speed, and the German front-line airfield is less than 130 kilometers away from the Meuse River in a straight line, and for the BF109 with a speed of 680 kilometers per hour, it is only more than ten minutes.
Just when the French aircraft group and Guderian's ground anti-aircraft guns were fighting, the planes of a German aviation division came to reinforce them, Marcel looked at the black pressure of the German aircraft group and almost vomited blood to death, he knew that this time was the end, and the destruction of these three French aviation divisions was in front of him.
Even if Marcel ordered all the planes to start fleeing at this time, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the German BF109 fighters, where is the speed difference between the two planes! Marcel was not a man who was afraid of death, and once again he decided to fight to the death and fulfill the duty of a soldier to the country.
"I am the No. 1 plane, a large number of German fighters appeared in the northwest direction, and all the fighters immediately gave up attacking the German anti-aircraft artillery and immediately climbed to a five-thousand-meter formation...... Hurry up ......"
At this time, there was no airborne radar, and the German planes had already entered the visual distance, and they would give Marcel a chance to marshall, and they would not give the French planes a chance to climb altitude.
More than 300 planes roared and swooped down, of which more than 100 German BF109 fighters pounced directly on the slow French bomber group, and more than 100 BF109s began to use their speed advantage to chase down French fighters.
The German anti-aircraft guns on the ground also all fired at the French bomber group, which was the most threatening one, and the French bomber group was facing a catastrophe, one or two bombers were shot down every second, and the planes that were rolling in smoke, the parachutes with white clouds, and the afterglow of the setting sun constituted a poignant picture of war.
Marcel, the commander, also joined the melee at this time, he no longer wanted to live, he brought more than 300 planes, most of them will be wiped out in the sky over the Meuse River, as a soldier with a sense of honor, he no longer wants to live in steal, and dying in battle is the best destination for soldiers.
Marcel locked on the German BF109 fighter several times, but these bitch German planes used the speed advantage to throw him off in an instant, and then these bitch German planes dived down from a high altitude and were a shuttle to his landline.
The German BF109 fought and was equipped with a 30 mm gun and two 13 mm machine guns, while the French fighter had a 7.62 mm machine gun.
