Chapter 1297: The Wall of Eagles

But the German pilots on duty at the front felt a strange sensation emanating from the battlefield for the first time. "What the hell is the Huaxia Air Force doing? Sleep? "According to the intelligence, their fleet is only less than 20 kilometers away from the target road, and within this range, at least they will encounter the fighters in charge of the guard in Huaxia, but today, when they gave up their height of fear and entered the battlefield, the air was unusually quiet, not to mention interception, not even a fighter jet was encountered! This is not normal!

"Height 4000 meters. In five minutes we will attack, hoping that the seagulls from the South Seas will help us block the enemy aircraft from high altitude! "The Germans carefully controlled their course and searched for targets. What they didn't expect was that a full 40 Shicha Falcon fighters were 4 kilometers behind them! At this time they are in the direction of 7 o'clock in each other's direction, at a height of 4200 meters! With the help of the cover of the clouds, they managed to get close to the target. When it was about to be completed, it was finally discovered by the hunter group following the bait, and a BF109 fighter team came out of the front to find the Shicha falcons rushing out of the clouds!

"Leave them alone! We continue to attack! "The early warning distance of nearly 100 kilometers for the large group of aircraft gives the Air Force at least 20 minutes to prepare, and the Shicha Falcon group will attack the BF110 group, while at the same time the Seagull fighter group from the South Seas will enter the battlefield from a height of 5,000 meters to intercept the hunters behind! When the hunter launches a dive, the seagulls will also dive to attack the opponent's rear.

"It's too late! Germans! The Germans still seem to have sent a telegram before the shells of the Ishilia falcons flew out of the chambers, but alas, they were faced with an opponent from nowhere. The clumsy BF110 fighter squadron was thrown into disarray. And when the Platyas shot out tongues of fire from the rear, the circular formation formed by the German fighter squadron instantly collapsed!

Bullets and shells whizzed past like locusts. The plane would shake from time to time, and Duren knew it had been hit by a single bullet. He tried to look behind him. At least seven or eight Casa falcons rolled and circled behind them, then smashed one German plane after another to pieces with ferocious fire from a distance of several hundred meters. The power of the British's 20*110 shells plus the thin-shelled warheads of the Chinese is too great, 5 rounds in a twin-engine aircraft will be destroyed, if it is hit by an incendiary high-explosive shell, then congratulations, you even have the opportunity to parachute! The BF110 fleet, which was already a coffee table with maneuverability, had no power to parry under the sudden attack of a superior enemy. And just when Duren was expecting the hunters behind him to save him, the hunter group behind was also in a bitter battle.

They are a little better than the decoy group, but the good ones are limited, and this is when more than half of the BF109s swoop down to attack the Stonetea Falcon. The rest of the fleet collided with the seagull group that came at the same height! When the two sides fight head-on, it is always the side with more numbers and more firepower, and the more solid side has the advantage! And the whole German seems to be at a disadvantage in all three!

"We seem to be calculated." Just when the two German fleets were in a bitter battle, Ensign Philips said to his wingman. Under normal circumstances, the Luftwaffe usually arranges for some veterans to go on safari missions, and they can act on their own, watching their colleagues below flee in all directions by the Huaxia group, and the second lieutenant is eager to take his squad to support.

"Ensign, this doesn't make sense. We had only been given the battle plan last night, and it had been communicated manually, with little chance of a leak, and we took off at dawn. There are no large early warning radar stations here. It is simply impossible for them to detect us in advance and calmly mobilize such a large number of aircraft to ambush us. Unless the other side has a large radar station that we can't find! Wingman Anton said.

"Contact the radiolocation plane behind you. I hope they find something! Ensign Philips said as he tried to make contact with a JU88G2 electronic warfare aircraft codenamed Observer in the rear. The Germans were not stupid, and before launching this attack, they also searched for the opposing side's ground-based radars with electronic warfare aircraft. It was only after the detection of a sustained and strong radar wave that the Air Force agreed to carry out this plan. And judging by the current situation, it seems that there was a problem with the Luftwaffe's early electronic reconnaissance.

At this time, the JU88G2 electronic warfare plane, which had been monitoring the electronic situation on the battlefield in the back, really discovered the Huaxia watchtower early warning aircraft. The electromagnetic waves emitted by the high-power radar and the radio signals emitted by the continuous transmission were as dazzling as lights in the dark night, and the Germans easily spotted two watchtower planes at an altitude of 7,000 meters. And based on the waveform and frequency equal number, it was concluded that it was a radar station deployed in the air!

"Night Raven Squad, something strange has appeared at an altitude of 6,500 to 7,000 meters. It should be some kind of large aircraft, the specific location is 20 kilometers southeast of the battlefield, if it is convenient for you to go and see. "The level of electronic equipment in China is higher than that of Germany, and it is not able to fully guide, and a JU88G2 electronic warfare aircraft can only locate the opponent by passive means. So I can only give a very vague piece of information.

"20 kilometers southeast of the main battlefield? Don't you know that the battlefield has now expanded to nearly 100 square kilometers? With such a large range, how do we find it? "As soon as he heard the observer's briefing, Ensign Philips felt that his head was a little bigger! It seems that whether you can find each other depends entirely on your luck! But to Lieutenant Philips's surprise, the German planes searching for this unknown enemy were not only their squad, but also another mysterious plane that was approaching a watchtower-type early warning aircraft in China at high speed in the air.

The plane looks similar to a regular JU88 bomber in appearance, but the wing engine bay is obviously larger, the electronic warfare aircraft model JU88G3 has been replaced with a new JUMO engine, and there are pressurization and water jet afterburner equipment, at the moment the aircraft is using its own radiolocation equipment to locate the position of the other party, and then fly to the target at maximum cruise speed.

Although some German planes around the battlefield saw some clues, unfortunately they could not determine the attributes of the target. And there is no right to stop this attack, but fortunately, the opponent is flying at a high altitude. The last attacking HS129 and JU88 bomber units will enter the battlefield from low altitudes, and it should be difficult for the opposing side to detect this group. As long as the attack group can be successful, then the cost is worth it. But alas. The two watchtowers arranged at low altitude have never been discovered by the Germans, not that these two planes have not started, but that the frequency band of the aircraft responsible for guarding at low altitude has exceeded the reception range of the German electronic warfare aircraft! The signal that was sent, the Germans simply did not receive!

"Remember, the level of electronic warfare of the Germans has developed considerably, and all AWACS aircraft do not work in one frequency band, which is the most basic principle in the fight against electronic interference!" Huaxia still somewhat overestimated the level of the Germans, and the two watchtower formations at low altitude and high altitude used different radar frequency bands. Combined with the influence of clouds and other factors, the Germans' sparsely populated electronic warfare aircraft did not notice that there were traps at low altitudes. And in this case, three squadrons of attack aircraft entered the battlefield according to the original plan!

"Big fish have been found, they are lowering the target, judging from the altitude and radar reflection area, it must be an attack aircraft formation, they are estimated to disperse soon, we must be fast!" Affected by the terrain and altitude, the watchtower located at a low altitude found that the other party was much closer than expected, but fortunately, the other party's speed was not high. And the one responsible for intercepting is the Foxbat fighter, which is known for its speed and fuel load!

"Oh God! It's a trap! "When I saw the Flying Fox fighters coming from the front, a panicked voice sounded in the internal channel of the German attack aircraft group, which had just lowered the altitude to 1,000 meters! The Foxbat fighter was the last opponent that Allied bomber pilots wanted to encounter, with fierce firepower and a sturdy fuselage. Good horizontal maneuverability and excellent endurance make the bomber have no way to retreat and no escape!

"Lower the height, hurry, we can't stand it!" A GERMAN MACHINE GUNNER STRUGGLED TO CONTROL THE 13MM MACHINE GUN ON THE TAIL TURRET TO DRIVE AWAY THE TRAILING FOXBAT. THE MEAGER FIREPOWER COULD NOT POSE A THREAT TO THE ENEMY AIRCRAFT BEHIND, AND THE ENEMY'S 20MM GUNS KNOCKED OFF THE BOMBER'S WING IN HALF WITH A SINGLE SHOT. The pilot worked hard to stabilize the airframe. But at that time, when the other party's barrage like a chainsaw tore the entire plane in half from the middle, they finally gave up. Among the four crew members, he successfully parachuted at the cost of one leg, and was invited to the prisoner camp of Zhou Xuan's department half an hour later.

When the Flying Fox swarm pounces on the opponent. The war was already doomed, and most of the German attack planes didn't even have time to drop a bomb and hit a single shell before they were blown up by a dense barrage volley! Explosions were heard in the sky from time to time, the whistling of machine guns lasted for nearly half an hour, and a large number of broken planes fell to the ground with flames. The whole battle can be described as completely one-sided, and the fighter attack on the unprotected low-altitude bomber is a complete slaughter! Although some German fighters tried to come over one after another to relieve the siege, but in the face of superior opponents, it would be good if these brave men could finally escape on their own, and at low altitudes, the BF109 fighters were no match for the Foxbat fighters at all. However, their struggle eventually allowed some of the attack planes to escape from the sky, and this large-scale air battle lasted about an hour, and the Germans' battle loss ratio can be described as terrifying, including the twin-engine aircraft. But the battle is not over, at an altitude of 7,000 meters, a much smaller, but far-reaching battle is underway!

"Keep up the speed, we may fight at any time, don't rush to climb." The leader of the Raven team, Ensign Philip, kept reminding his teammates. According to the information provided by observers, the opponent should be a large aircraft equipped with large radar and communication equipment, and the Germans also have similar aircraft, such as a maritime patrol aircraft converted from HE177 bombers, this kind of aircraft is very precious, and some fighters are generally arranged to provide protection when they are dispatched, so when they find the target, they may first encounter the opponent's fighter plane! So he had to keep the plane's energy in order to deal with a battle that could break out at any moment.

However, at this time, Philips Ensign was very lucky, their target, the watchtower No. 1 early warning plane, did not find this small group of aircraft due to clouds or other reasons, but focused on the JU88G3 electronic warfare aircraft that hit at high speed, this plane constantly corrected the course according to the radar signal of the watchtower No. 1 early warning aircraft, and released electronic jamming to interfere with the opponent's communications and detection.

"Damn, this guy flies as fast as the British mosquitoes!" It turns out that as long as there is a powerful enough engine, the refrigerator can fly fast (I'm definitely not joking at the P47). This plane rushing at high speed has already aroused the vigilance of the watchtower No. 1 AWACS aircraft! Two of the four Ishilia falcons that accompanied the flight had already been sent out to deal with this annoying guy.

"This is supposed to be an electronic warfare aircraft. It should be collecting our electrical signals. Moments later, the plane was finally driven away by the escorting fighters, but the interference wave it emitted still made Watchtower 1 a little confused, and when the radar operator adjusted the frequency to an area where the other party was not interfering, the operator finally spotted the Dark Raven team that was already approaching!

In fact, there was no connection between this JU88G3 electronic warfare jamming aircraft and the Dark Raven squad, but by mistake, the jamming action of the electronic warfare aircraft inadvertently covered the attack team. Philips' luck was just too good, first finding the opponent's position based on an inaccurate piece of intelligence, and then having a teammate help him attract attention and cover his attack.

"Oh my God, I've never seen such a weird-looking plane, and I can't put into words this guy with a huge radar antenna on his back and all sorts of antennas on his back. It must have been the one who directed today's tragedy! I never thought that such a thing would appear in the combat sequence of the Air Force! Philips looked at the watchtower No. 1 AWACS aircraft cruising in the clouds and was deeply shocked. But amazement to amazement, for the Raven Squad, the most important thing is to beat this culprit down first!
