Chapter One Thousand and Six
The best way to evade anti-aircraft fire on the ground is to fly higher and faster. ¢£.
This was the case with the U-2 reconnaissance planes of the United States in later generations, which were so high at high altitudes that the air defense forces of many countries had no way to take them down. However, this changed with the advent of anti-aircraft missiles with equally high degrees and high altitudes.
At least at that time, China had stabbed down a lot of U-2s with bamboo poles.
However, this does not mean that high altitude is wrong, because then the Americans introduced the taller and faster SR-71 'Blackbird' reconnaissance aircraft.
The Blackbird is a triple-tone long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft used by the US Air Force, Lockheed is based on the A-12, and another model in the same series is the YF-12 interceptor. SR-71 was developed by Helie Brown, a legend of Lust Industries? Johnson's Skunk Works was responsible for the design, and the unit also designed well-known military aircraft such as the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft.
The Blackbird used a lot of advanced technology at the time, not only the aircraft designed with stealth technology, but also the ability to evade enemy aircraft and anti-aircraft missiles at a height of Mach 3. In terms of actual combat records, no Blackbird has ever been shot down, and the SR-71 is the first generation of American sound stealth reconnaissance aircraft.
When the SR-71 was retired in 1998, one of them flew from the U.S. Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, where it was born, to the National Museum of Astronautics in Shantilly, Virginia, in just 68 minutes. The SR-71 also holds the record set on September 1, 1974, from New York to London: 1 hour, 54 minutes, 56.4 seconds, compared to the 3 hours and 2o minutes of the fastest Concorde, compared to the 7 hours of the famous subsonic large airliner Boeing 747.
In other words. There's nothing wrong with thinking high in the air, if you're shot down. That just means you're not flying high enough, and you're not fast enough.
It's just that this line of thinking is correct. But it's not easy for Air Force pilots. It's not that they don't want to fly higher, in fact, the Nationalist government has very low requirements for their actions, just asking them to keep themselves safe.
As for the actual effect against the enemy, the government does not have any mandatory requirements.
Therefore, even if they adopt the method of high-altitude bombing, the government will not have the slightest opinion, but will applaud them because they have adopted a safe way―――――― and the United States in later generations will use this method to bomb the Japanese archipelago, of course, the effect is not very good, so then the Americans will switch to another way. Although the danger has greatly increased, and many bombers have been shot down because of this relationship, the bombing effect has been greatly improved.
Of course, the Wehrmacht Air Force does not need to do this, after all, they are not Americans, and they need to bomb targets such as airfields. Their bombing targets were simple, just ground targets. In particular, tens of thousands of Russians gathered on the ground were almost the best targets, and all they had to do was drop bombs on the ground.
The point is that they are not flying an SR-71 after all, not even a U-2 or a B-52 or something. And just some of them, although they were very advanced in this era, they can only be said to be extremely primitive in later generations.
It's almost impossible to get them to climb to tens of thousands of meters or to get a few Mach degrees...
It is precisely for this reason that the anti-aircraft fire of those Russian troops on the ground is not very strong. But that doesn't mean there are no threats.
Therefore, when the air force really entered the effective range of the Russians, no matter how much they despised the other side on the surface, the pilots of the air force still became cautious. After all, if it was really shot down and captured by the Russians. It's hard for them to come back from Russia...
Leaving aside the fact that these pilots were in their prime when they were young, I am afraid that no one would be interested in being prisoners.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
As the bomber group flew over the Russian army. glanced at the positions of the Russian troops on the ground, and from time to time they would pass by themselves. Even a machine-gun shell that hit the fuselage. Gao Ping frowned slightly.
Fortunately, as bombers, these bombers were designed with the threat of ground fire in mind. Therefore, the belly of the fuselage of each bomber is equipped with a layer of steel plates, although the thickness is not very high because of the weight of the problem, but the ordinary 12.7mm ammunition, after a certain distance of flight, it is not easy to break down―――――― in fact, when designing, the designers have taken into account the problem of anti-aircraft firepower, just because the technical ability at that time was limited, if you want to have a certain flight performance, it is impossible to use too heavy protective devices.
Therefore, the bottom line that the designers finally gave was 12.7mm caliber ammunition.
After all, anti-aircraft weapons of this caliber are relatively common at present. Whether it is the Soviet Russian army or the armies of other countries, the caliber of the relevant anti-aircraft weapon is usually this.
As for the larger caliber 3omm cannon or something ...
Ahem, it can only be said that if you have to meet this standard, then the plane is estimated to not be able to fly.
In fact, in order to reduce weight and improve flight performance, this steel plate is not all-round, but only hit in the belly of the aircraft. It is not surprising at all, after all, the so-called anti-aircraft fire, as usual, could only come from the direction of the belly of the aircraft.
Attacks from the side, directly in front of you, and from above can only be ammunition from enemy aircraft.
"Although the protection capability of the bomber will be very good with all-round protection, the flight performance will be greatly hindered. So unless we make a breakthrough in motivation technology and other flying techniques, we can only take this one measure..."
This is the answer given by the designers when they face the generals of the Air Force.
It should be noted that although the belly is protected by steel plates. But there are no wings, in fact, the wings of bombers are also relatively fragile. If the wing is broken. Want to fly back to base......... Perhaps there are bombers and pilots in later generations who will be able to do this, but for the current Wehrmacht Air Force. I'm afraid it's going to be a bit more difficult.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Bombers have enhanced treatment, fighters don't. After all, the most important thing in a fighter jet is flexibility. Isn't it because of this advantage that the Zero War in later generations can run rampant in the Pacific Ocean?
It's just that...
Focusing on this alone is completely biased.
When it comes to more powerful Mustang and other fighters, it is completely in a state of being beaten.
But just because the fighters weren't equipped with any protection doesn't mean they won't fight. After all, these fighters are still equipped with a considerable number of machine guns on them. In particular, the 12.7mm heavy machine gun can still inflict great casualties on the opponent if it fires at the ground.
It's just that at the moment, the anti-aircraft fire of the Russian army on the ground is still relatively intensive, and at this time, it may not be a problem to rush down, perhaps a bomber located at a higher altitude and at the same time with enhanced protection capabilities. But these fighters are more dangerous.
Therefore, when the bombers still flew to the positions of the Russian troops, the fighters responsible for escorting did not follow. Instead, it bypassed far away and flew to both sides of the Russian position.
Just wait for the bomber group to plow the positions of the Russian army, greatly reducing the anti-aircraft fire of the Russian army, and then dive. Another ravage of the Russian army on the ground since Kolchak.
On the other hand, even though they were sitting in the cabin, the pilots who were flying the planes kept hearing a clanging sound coming from the belly of the plane.
If you look out through the glass of the cabin. You can even see that every now and then the wings will be shot through by flying bullets.
Fortunately, the designers took this issue into account at the beginning, although the wing is not as protective as the fuselage. But in a short period of time, there are basically no major problems.
But if it's been a long time. The wings were damaged a lot, and it would still become very dangerous, so after the bomber group flew over the Russian army, soon a bombardier obeyed the order and pressed the button...
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
In the distance, the Turks, who were cheering on the battlefield for their 'own' fleet, soon saw a series of 'raindrops' falling from the bodies of those groups.
Although in later generations, Middle Easterners, especially those who believe in MS1, are usually easily taken as dirt buns. But in fact, this is not the case, at least some countries such as Saudi Arabia or other countries are more knowledgeable. Moreover, the Ottoman Turkish Empire was once one of the major powers of the world?
So these people know very well what those things are that fall, especially when those 'raindrops' fell on the ground and set off a sea of fire on the positions of the Russian troops, the cheers of the Turks became louder ...
Correspondingly, the Russian troops on the ground were curled up in the trenches, and the anti-aircraft firepower that was originally quite fierce was suddenly suffocated.
Uh-huh, sorry sorry, I'll make it up in an hour!!!!
