Chapter 407: Bomber sortie

PS: This is the first time in this book that the air battle scene has been written in such detail, and the next time I write about a large-scale air battle, it is likely that it will be a jet fighter (to be determined).

――――The following text――――

The big air battle over Southeast Asia lasted for half a day, and the fighters of both sides went back many times to refuel. In the end, China won the first battle by fighting more with less. Nearly ninety percent of the Allied fighters were wiped out, and air supremacy was not taken by Mountbatten.

However, the matter did not end there, after seizing initial air supremacy. Du Yuming did not stop thinking, but immediately dispatched his own strategic bombing force. What he wants is complete air supremacy, not preliminary.

The H-2 improved version and the H-3 Djinshen bomber, a total of more than 200 bombers, took off from major airports in Yangon one after another.

Just as the bombers were dispatched, more than 200 fighters began to clear the anti-aircraft fire points of the Allied airfields.

Despite the high intensity of fire in the Allied ground air defense forces, the high-speed skimming of fighters was a nightmare for all air defense forces. What is the effect of a twenty-millimeter aviation machine gun on the human body, the tearing of the body is only the best ending.

There is no doubt about the strong anti-aircraft fire of the Allied forces in Southeast Asia. But under the attack of a large number of high-speed fighters, it was also quickly drowned under the rain of bullets.

Of course, in order to clean up these anti-aircraft fire points. The Chinese side is not without losses, but compared with the war record, such losses are still acceptable.

It was just one day, and in the face of the defeat of the Air Force, Mountbatten was in a hurry, but he was still able to maintain enough sanity. But the depression in my heart did not subside in the slightest.

It is not that he has not fought with the German army, but when it comes to the matter of fighting for air supremacy, although the Allies have little advantage, they have not been as completely defeated as they are today.

Of the eight hundred fighters, less than a hundred are now left in normal service. This is judging by the previous situation against Germany. I can't find one or two such failures.

Even Alex, whom he had always had his eye on, was destroyed. This is an Allied ace pilot with great success in the skies over Europe. Now even he is dead here, which is a result he didn't think about before the war.

What made him even more depressed was that the Chinese lost not a lot of planes. Many planes are injured and can still fly back. This is on the Allies. It's hard to see.

There was one thing he had to admit. Judging by today's state of war. In terms of air force, China is much stronger than Germany.

However, before he could recover from the defeat of the Air Force, another piece of news came from the radar unit that made him frown.

"A large fleet of aircraft was again found in the southeast. Straight to the airfield in the rear. ”

"Fuck, don't let people live, it's getting dark, come back!" Mountbatten couldn't help but burst into a foul language, gentlemanly demeanor, and he didn't know where he had been thrown.

It's going to rain, and the mother is going to get married, and she still has to come. Although he had scolded the commander of China many times in his heart, he still gave the order for the final air force to attack.

"Order the remaining planes to take off immediately, and be sure to intercept the other side."

He knew very well that it was almost dusk now, and it was basically difficult for the plane to land smoothly after it took off. But he also has no way, it is better to take to the air to fight, than to be directly wiped out on the airport.

This is his last strength at present, and if it weren't for the Chinese Air Force ignoring these two airfields, I'm afraid that the remaining dozens of aircraft in Mountbatten would have been reimbursed a long time ago.

However, he did not expect that this time there were not only fighters, but also bombers.

After receiving Mountbatten's order, the tired Allied pilots climbed into the plane and took to the air again to meet the Chinese group.

As the sun was about to set, the Chinese bomber forces were approaching the Allied airfields.

"Gentlemen, our mission is to protect the bomber forces, remember your mission. The honor can be obtained later, but on each bomber, there are ten crew members. Their wives and children are still waiting for them to go home and reunite, remember the responsibility on your shoulders, whoever dares to be greedy and rash, resulting in the loss of the bomber unit, go back to the military law to deal with it. "The leader of the fighter group, the Alligator (codename), who was covering the bombers, once again instructed all the fighters in his headset when he was about to enter the bombing area.

"Don't worry, Captain, I've had enough fun today, and there are a lot of stars on the tail, so I will definitely complete the cover mission well." The sound of birds can be heard over the group's wireless channels.

Today, many fighter pilots have achieved very good results, and at this moment they do not know whether there is already an Allied ace pilot destroyed in their hands, or an Allied Air Force Major General. Otherwise, there will be a thick mark on their merit books.

"Please pay attention to the cover group, please pay attention to the cover group, the enemy planes have been discovered, the number of which is nearly 100, and they are currently approaching you." The AWACS aircraft in the rear sent them the latest enemy situation in a timely manner.

"Watch out for vigilance, the eighth squadron rises into the air and prepares for cover." The leader of the covering group, the crocodile, gave the latest order, and then he operated the plane and came to the side of the leader of the bomber formation.

Adjust the channel and say to the bomber leader: "There are still fish that have slipped through the net, but leave it to us, you move on." We will not allow any enemy aircraft to break through the defensive line. ”

When the bomber leader heard the news, he gave the other side a thumbs up and said in the headset: "It's up to you." ”

The crocodile also gave the bomber leader a thumbs up in the cabin, and then accelerated to the front of the bomber group.

In less than thirty seconds, the two air forces met again, and by this time the setting sun had already reflected the distant sky in a fiery red.

However, at this moment, no one paid attention to such a beautiful scenery, and the air battle began again. This air battle may become the last air battle over West Burma.

This time the Chinese side had an advantage in the number of fighters, and there were more than a dozen more fighters than the Allied side. The two sides began to struggle around the bomber group. As soon as they fought, the air battle became white-hot.

The fierce air battle scene is not at all worse than the previous air battle. Many Allied pilots were already fighting to the death, because they knew very well that the sky was no longer theirs. And the chances of them making it back alive are slim.

In this case, there is only a vigorous death in battle.

It was indeed very vigorous, and from time to time a plane disintegrated or exploded directly in the sky, and the pilot's body became pieces of debris.

In the air battle, the bomber group continued to advance, as if it could not see the air battle taking place around them. Go straight ahead. Fly out of the airspace. A squadron of fighters continued to escort the bombers. Follow the bomber fleet and move on.

The air battle in the rear was no longer visible, and the bomber groups began to separate, taking squadrons as units, and moving quickly towards the various airfields of the allied forces in Burma.

In the Allied General Command in Southeast Asia. Mountbatten was also the first to receive the news that the Chinese planes were separating towards the airport. His first reaction was: The airport is finished. You can think of it with your toes. At such a time, in such a direction of advancement, the troops were also divided. It must be the bomber forces of China.

The purpose is self-evident, it must be a straight line to your own airport.

"On the first day, you will completely annihilate your own air force, and you really deserve to be a teacher of the Germans!!" Mountbatten muttered to himself helplessly.

It was no secret that China helped Germany train its army after the outbreak of war. And tactics like blitzkrieg have the shadow of China. Although the German side does not admit it, there are still many people who jokingly claim that China is Germany's teacher.

"There's no way to sleep at night, and I hope the defending troops in front won't let themselves down." With such a tough offensive method, China seized air supremacy in one day. Mountbatten knew very well that on land, China would do it at night. Perhaps, without waiting for the evening, as long as its own airfield is destroyed, then China will launch a large-scale attack.

At this time, he no longer had the heart to care about the situation at the airport, the planes were almost gone, what did he want the airport to do. The bombers owned by the Allies were still in India at this time, and there was no need to defend them here.

What's more, even if you want to keep the airport, there is no way to do it now. It is better to think about those useless things than to focus on how to deal with the next wave of attacks from China.

At the same time, the bomber formation also arrived at the airfield, and in the twilight, the ground personnel of the airfield were about to start evacuating, but it was too late. Anti-aircraft fire was destroyed, and all airfields were completely undefended for bombers, who could bomb at will.

A modified version of the H-2 can carry nine tons of ammunition, like the American B-29, except that it does not have the same range as the B-29. However, it is more than enough to be competent for such a close-range bombing mission.

In addition, there are some of the latest Djinn bombers in the bomber fleet, which far exceed the B-29 Super Flying Fortress in terms of range and bomb load.

Twelve tons of maximum bomb load, four magazines, each of which can carry three tons of aerial bombs. It can also be loaded with super-heavy bombs and some special large bombs.

When they came to the sky above the target, the magazines under the belly of the aircraft were opened one after another, and the altitude was maintained at 3,000 meters to ensure the accuracy of the bomb dropping.

Under the control of the bomber sighter, the aerial bombs in the front and rear magazines were dropped first, followed by the two magazines in the middle. This is mainly due to the stability and structure of the aircraft, so that the aircraft can maintain balance in the sky at all times.

The whistling of bombs, followed by explosions. In the eyes of the bomber crew, there was a flash of fire on the ground, followed by billowing dust and smoke. As if dominoes, the explosions advanced in turn.

In a short time, the airfield on the ground was covered in explosions and smoke and smoke. And in the dust and smoke, you can still see the flash of fire that explodes from time to time, and it is soon covered by thick smoke.

When all the bombers had dropped their bombs, just as the sun had completely set, they began to set off for their home. On the other side, the Cover Group also completed its mission, destroying the last Allied air force in Burma.

The two converged again, and in the darkness of the night, flew back in the direction of Yangon airport.

At this point, after a day, China has obtained air supremacy in Burma. (To be continued.) )
