Six Hundred and Eighty-Seven Bloody Sky
A German fw-190d flew past an American b-17 bomber with roaring engines. At this time, the weapons on the American bomber were aiming at other German fighter jets on the other side, before the American shooter in the self-defense turret They readjusted their shooting angles, and the German fighter jet that passed the bomber had already left a row of bullet holes in the fuselage of its target.
With intensive and violent bangs, the thick skin of the bomber was pierced by shells, and metal fragments rampaged throughout the aircraft, jingling on the steel plates protecting the crew. However, although these thick steel plates blocked the flying debris, they couldn't block the more powerful warheads.
As a result, the original thick steel plate was pierced through with ease. These aircraft cannon shells, which are too powerful to deal with fighter jets, immediately showed extraordinary effects when they hit the American bomber body. It can be said that it is tailor-made. Great damage was done to American bombers.
A cannonball wrapped in a large amount of metal fragments pierced the protective steel plate, pierced the pilot's lungs, and smashed the aircraft's instrument panel. After that, it still didn't stop. Protecting the nose aimed at the armor behind the cabin, shattering all sorts of things inside.
"Someone was shot! The plane was shot through! I have to descend! I have to descend!" In the cockpit, seeing his co-pilot paralyzed on his chair with his face covered in blood, the captain He was so frightened that he quickly shook his joystick, blood was everywhere on the dashboard, and there was a hole in the co-pilot's position that continuously ejected electric sparks.
The turret on the back of the plane is still firing continuously to cover its own plane, but the b-17 with a row of holes in its fuselage was still seriously injured by the German fighter jets. It slowly descended its height, hoping to You can stabilize your injured plane so that it can fly back to the ground safely.
It's a pity that the German pilot obviously didn't want to give him this chance. Another German fighter jet painted in gray camouflage passed the plane, and the black iron cross on the wing was clearly visible. The plane bypassed the b-17 bomber that had begun to descend and was emitting blue smoke, leaving another row of conspicuous bullet holes on its wing.
So the engine of the b-17 bomber began to burn, spouting billowing smoke, and its flaps had been torn by the airflow due to severe structural damage. And thick smoke also began to spew out from its engine, and flames shot out from the gaps, and it was obvious at a glance that this kind of burning could no longer be extinguished.
Just as the pilot on this plane watched the German plane go away from him in despair, two German fighter jets had already completed their dive a few hundred meters away and shot down another huge B-17 bomber. There was chaos on the American radio communication channel, everyone was screaming and cursing, and the entire American bomber formation became more and more chaotic, and the resistance became more and more disorganized.
Everything is messed up,
There are scenes of German planes chasing and killing American planes everywhere. American pilots began to fly indiscriminately while losing their formation. People brought chaos. The German planes from various squadrons originally lacked a unified command. As a result, after being in a mess, there is no way to unify the command. Many fighter units chased and killed a few planes, and then shot them down After taking over these American planes, they found that they had separated from their own troops and could not find other enemies.
What is even more frustrating is that because of the melee, many times the two planes bit each other's tails and chased each other for a long time, only to find out that the two planes were actually German planes. .
Although the whole sky was in chaos, the most conspicuous thing was Hartmann's black tulip-painted fighter plane. American fighters and p-40 fighters are still fighting against Japanese Zero fighters, and the Americans rely on the parameters provided by Germany to draw up corresponding tactics, so they once made up for their disadvantages in air combat, but today they finally Only after seeing the top fighter jets in the world did I realize that the gap is so huge.
Because the desert climate is really a huge test for the engines of fighter jets and tanks, the German Air Force has not sent its most advanced TA-152 fighter jets to Africa so far out of consideration for the confidentiality of fighter jets and maintenance capabilities. , So today is the first time for American pilots to see the pinnacle of this piston fighter, and at this moment they know how fast and powerful the German fighter is.
Before, they were still laughing at the Soviet pilots as a bunch of idiots. Even the aided P-40 fighter jets failed to reverse the situation on the Eastern Front. Now they realize that they have wronged those Soviet counterparts, these German ace pilots They are really like gods coming down to earth, they are invincible and powerful existences.
In the melee, the American fighter pilots also showed a strong side. Compared with the shooters on the bombers, they have more fighting will and fighting ability. At least in this case, several American fighters still achieved The record, shot down several German aircraft. The degree of tacit cooperation between them is very different from the pilots the Germans encountered before. At least they now have the level of British pilots when they were flying over London, and the fighter jets in their hands are much different than those of the German pilots. Compared with hurricanes in the UK, it has advanced a lot.
Just when the American aircraft formation was desperate and on the verge of collapse, another huge aircraft formation appeared on the other side of the sky. At least hundreds of aircraft appeared at the height of the clouds, and these aircraft were clearly not from the Germans. equipment.
The huge wings are painted with a red five-pointed star pattern, and the escorting fighter jets are also all P-40 fighter jets, which are also green with a red five-pointed star pattern on them. These aircraft belong to the Soviet Air Force and are the speed of the second wave of bombing The slower Soviet bomber formation.
"It seems that today we are destined to add something to our record!" Hartman drove his plane around a burning and falling B-17 bomber, and gently pulled the joystick, Let the plane rush towards the formation of enemy planes flying over again.
But this time he was no longer alone, because behind him, followed by a full 50 German fighter jets. They were ordered to defend the oil equipment not far behind, so at least in the sky, at least here, if they want to fly over the area controlled by the Luftwaffe, they must pay a heavy price!
"Didn't it mean that the Americans will inevitably attract the main force of the Luftwaffe? How come there are so many German fighter jets here?" The commander on a Soviet fighter jet looked at the burning sky in the distance and at the huge B-17 The bomber fell from the sky with burning smoke and frowned and asked, but obviously no one could answer this question clearly, and it was impossible for them to turn around and flee back to the Soviet Union.
"Avoid American fighters and bombers, all ready to fight! We're going the other way through the war zone, we don't have the same radio channels as the Americans, and no one speaks English... there's no way to communicate," he said. The combat order was issued, and then several German planes were seen swooping down from the sky, kicking off a new prelude to the battle here.
"Long live the motherland! Long live Comrade Stalin! For the motherland! Let's fight!" Flying the P-40 fighter jets, the Soviet pilots are also carefully selected elites, at least they still have the courage to fight the German fighter jets head-on, but when they When he saw a black tulip painted on the nose of the German fighter jet rushing towards him, he immediately and subconsciously made an evasive movement.
American pilots may not know such a guy yet, even if they think the opponent is powerful, they can still continue to fight. However, the Soviet pilots knew what the black tulips on the Eastern Front represented. After all, among the Soviet pilots who were able to participate in the exhibition, many of them became elite pilots because they escaped death from this plane.
Only those who have fought against him can know how powerful this plane is, only when it bites its tail with incredible movements and smashes it into pieces. So naturally, someone on the channel of the Soviet fighter jet exclaimed: "My God! It's the black god of death!"
Although for a moment, the Soviet pilots had an urge to turn around and flee, but they quickly crawled out of fear. After all, they were told the importance of this operation when they came, and the instructions given by their superiors It is very clear: "Only success, no failure!" If they escape like this, not only will they be held accountable, but their relatives may also be sentenced to Siberia. sent to that place.
Obviously, for those who have seen their companions captured by the law enforcement team, that kind of fear is not much different from facing death, so the Soviet fighter pilot mustered up the courage to control his plane, raise his nose, and meet In the direction of the German fighter jet, it accelerated and rushed over.
Before we had time to take a break, the second large-scale air battle kicked off again! The remaining dozens of American bombers were pleasantly surprised to find that they could already see the smokestacks and factories on the horizon.
