The morning light is dazzling, and the white clouds are surging. The Gulf of Mexico is rippling with blue waves and gulls gliding, creating a bright and tranquil summer morning. The warm sea breeze swept through the dense palm groves on the shore, and the branches shook and the green shade fluttered.

Jerry, a U.S. soldier, poked his head out of his bunker and looked out into the southern sky with a telescope in hand, and a few white gulls nesting on the beach flew leisurely, rushing into the water from time to time to hunt for fish, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. However, he did not have the slightest carelessness, and his eyes were just staring at the fluttering clouds in the sky: according to the news just from the radar station, a huge group of more than 900 planes had appeared in the south and was flying rapidly towards him, and the current air defense siren faintly sounding in his ears was the best proof that the enemy was coming!

Since the fall of Cuba, German warplanes have begun to frequent the United States, and the large number of high-explosive dangerous materials carried by the twin-engine fast bomber Ju-88 and the four-engine heavy bomber ME-264 have made the southeastern provinces of the United States led by Florida the first to taste the pain of war. In addition, some of the out-of-the-sky meteors flew 10 times higher than the heavy bombers and 10 times the speed of the fighters, rushing down without warning, causing surging waves of light on the ground. Although the number of these "comet meteorites" is not large, and the total number of bomber sorties dispatched by the other side is less than half, because of their extremely fast speed, it is impossible to intercept them in just two or three minutes from discovery to collision, and the psychological deterrence caused by them to the Americans is even greater!

Although the U.S. fighter and ground anti-aircraft artillery units were impressive, with an average drop rate of more than one-eighth of the incoming German fleets, for the average American soldier. This kind of frequent bombing is enough to make them disgusted and terrified. As a young man with a weak crown who has just graduated from a vocational school. Jerry's impulsive enthusiasm to "save the civilized nations of Europe" more than a year ago. Now it has long been completely extinguished by the series of failures of the past; In its place, there was a strong sense of remorse and fear for joining the war in which he had hastily conscripted himself. He only hated why the paralyzed politician jumped up and down like an acrobat before the outbreak of war, using his many speeches in Congress and on the radio to change the isolationist tactics that the United States had pursued for more than half a century; Otherwise, the United States would not have been pushed into the pit of European war and faced the current uncontrollable situation. This time, the number of German fighters has exceeded that of any previous air raid, and he is at the forefront of facing the enemy head-on!

"Damn cripple, I really want to drag him to the front to taste what it's like to be ravaged by bombs!" When there was a faint humming sound in the sky. Jerry's heart suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse. After a while, a black spot as dense as a swarm of locusts appeared in the distant sky, and its overwhelming number made Jerry's scalp tingle; However, at this time, he had no choice but to run to a hidden anti-aircraft gun next to him amid the loud warning, and fought hard with his comrades. When the German aircraft group entered the effective range of the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, a huge roar of artillery resounded all around, and the howitzer with a timed fuse instantly broke into the air in the burst of muzzle flames, and then fired a large number of pocket steel balls filled inside into the surrounding area like a storm. From the ground, it looks like black fireworks are bursting one after another. It's spectacular.

The German aircraft group did not shy away from these artillery fires, and flew straight north in a tight formation. Hundreds of four-shot ME-264 bombers were fortified like castles. cast a formidable palace in the air; A large number of Ju-88s and BF-110s were clustered around, adding to the unstoppable sense of strength of the force. Seeing this situation, Jerry couldn't help but feel a little awe-inspiring in his heart: the other party would rather risk being hit by ground artillery fire than maintain a tight queue, and its intention of this large-scale attack must be to carry out an unprecedented fierce bombardment of important targets in his hinterland!

While the first anti-aircraft artillery units along the coast were firing heavily at the German planes, an equally large number of American fighters appeared in the sky: they were trying to climb their heights in order to launch a head-on attack on the German aircraft group. According to the combat experience gained by the US land-based aviation, the difficult FW-190 fighters in the Luftwaffe are all short legs with a range of no more than 1,000 kilometers; For this kind of long-distance long-distance attack with the bomber as the core, they have always been powerless, and even in the case of mounting the auxiliary fuel tank, they cannot realize the whole process of accompanying the bomber. In the face of the BF-110 heavy fighter, which has strong firepower but slightly insufficient speed, the US pilots have full confidence in victory.

This time, however, the situation is significantly different. Although the agile and agile FW-190 did not appear in this distant sky, the German fleet was far more numerous than any previous attack: there were more than 600 ME-264s alone, and the roar of countless engines seemed to swallow the entire sky. These aircraft groups formed a tight queue, and when they landed, they formed an all-round dense strike firepower like a alien army; When the U.S. fighter jets approached a distance of 1,000 meters, an unprecedented dense array of bullets covered them like a storm!

"Bang! Bang! With the screeching sound of a large number of bullets sinking into the soft metal, several US fighters rushing to the front were immediately beaten to the point that their wings were broken, and the debris burst out, falling downward like meteors. Unaware of the fact that there was a gate to hell ahead, the American pilots continued to pounce on the enemy in a conventional array, and the 12.7mm heavy machine gun made a screeching sound of tearing sackcloth and fired hard at the big guys with four engines. In an instant, tongues of fire erupted in the air, as if the stars in the Milky Way were shining colorfully; Tens of thousands of bullets were so powerful that they weaved all sides into a color of death.

In this bomber-fighter confrontation, it was the clumsy former who gained an overwhelming advantage. Thanks to the huge fuselage and the propulsion of four engines, the ME-264 was able to deploy up to 12 heavy machine guns for self-defense, without any blind spots. Although they could not be the match for fighters in one-on-one combat, this accumulation of numbers had a qualitatively degrading effect: no matter how many or even a dozen heavy machine guns opened fire on the American fighters that were bitten by the German planes. However, the US fighter planes can only face the enemy with their noses, and there has been no change due to the increase in numbers.

In addition, the strike resistance of heavy bombers is significantly higher than that of single-engine fighters. Ordinary 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets hit their bodies, at most they will only roll out a string of dazzling sparks in the metal tearing, and it is difficult to cause fatal flight damage to bombers, and key parts such as the cockpit, machine gun tower, and engine are also protected by steel armor, and the fire power of machine guns is still far from inflicting heavy damage on them. In another dimension, the 20mm guns on German fighters were not sufficient to intercept the Allied B-17s and Lancasters, and could not be effectively destroyed until the 30mm guns were installed. Considering that the 30mm cannon is 10 times more powerful per shot than the 12.7mm gun, the survivability of the heavy bomber can be seen. Although the U.S. fighter jets have a lot of horsepower, plenty of internal fuel, and considerable armor defense, their only weakness is firepower, and even the latest P-47 fighter is only a 12.7mm machine gun. In the dogfight of the German fighters, the disadvantages of its lack of power in a single shot are not obvious, and once faced with the German army's four heavy bombardments, the American pilots are extremely anxious to find that they can barely sweep these aerial monsters!

In contrast, the US fighter jets obviously do not have the same ability to resist strikes as heavy bombers. The German 13mm machine guns were enough to break the bones and scatter the fragments, and even if the cockpit and engine could hold the shells, they would still be shot down due to the destruction of the main structure after a large number of bullets. The American pilots soon found themselves in a horrified state of bullets and guns, surrounded in a horrific situation they had never encountered before!

Soon, the battle turned into a one-sided massacre of American fighters by German heavy bombers. The US fighter planes that took off to intercept them were either blown into a volley and exploded, shattering into thousands of fragments and bursting into the air, or dragging long black smoke straight down, exploding a terrifying cloud of fire and blood on the ground. An American pilot rushed out of the battle group after trying to shoot down a German bomber, only to find that none of his comrades in the squadron came out alive. The German bomber group was like a giant anvil rumbling across the battlefield, and although its speed and maneuverability were not complimentary, there was no one-and-one enemy in front of them that could directly grab its edge!

"We're almost there. The planes were ready to drop bombs, and after 10 minutes, they disbanded their formations and attacked on their own. "Herman commanding the group? Colonel Goering said in a calm tone in the interlocutory platform. After 20 minutes of fierce fighting, the US fighters that came to intercept them were completely routed and scattered: more than 300 of their planes were shot down by two-thirds, setting a new record for the number of enemy planes shot down by the Luftwaffe in a unit time. Although nearly 40 of its own bombers were shot down by the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery and fighters or forced to return early, the losses were completely within an acceptable range. When a row of high-rise factories gradually appeared from the distant plains, the communication channels of the German aircraft group erupted in cheers of excitement, and after completing the reference and locking on to the target, a large number of bombs rained down from the sky like the ovulation of sea fish......
