Chapter 1190 Battle of Night Owls

In Germany, there is a special category of people, night owls. During the day, they are asleep, and at night, they wake up and drive their fighter jets to patrol.

Yes, they are the German night fighters. They are proud troops. They want to guard the German night sky. No enemy bombers can escape their sight.

Now patrolling the sky is the 3rd Brigade of the 3rd Night Fighter Wing of Germany, which is responsible for patrolling the 600-kilometer airspace east of Berlin.

For them, a 600-kilometer combat area is not big at all. Their night fighters are enough to fly 2,300 kilometers in the sky, and they can conduct combat patrols for seven hours, enough for one night.

Major Prince Heinrich-Zu-Xiayan-Wettingen, driving his he-219 night fighter, patrolling the night sky.

As a German nobleman and a fanatic, Prince Wei Yangen has been piloting night fighter jets for more than two years. Under his command, eight enemy planes have been shot down and he is already an ace pilot. level.

This is also because of Germany's powerful military, almost no enemy came to bomb them. Most of the time, they were unknown. Prince Wei Yangen's shooting down results were almost all obtained when he was stationed abroad.

And historically, he was the No. 1 ace of night fighters who shot down more than eighty enemy planes.

Tonight, they have received news that the Soviets dispatched three batches of bombers from the direction of the Baltic Sea to bomb Berlin, and their mission is to intercept possible Soviet bombers and then destroy them!

They can't get close to the urban area of ​​Berlin, where the dense anti-aircraft firepower will turn any incoming enemy bombers into slag. It is very difficult to identify friend or foe in this era, so it is necessary to divide the defense area. If they fly to the urban area of ​​Berlin, they will also was attacked indiscriminately.

Their patrol area is centered on Berlin and within a radius of 600 kilometers. After receiving the news from the front, almost all the night fighter wings took off. Therefore, each of their brigade, as long as they are responsible for an area, enough.

So far, the ground radar has not issued an early warning, and according to the time, it is about time for the arrival of the Soviets.

If the Soviets were not lost, there was only another problem, the Soviets entered from a low altitude, which made it impossible for the warning radar on the ground to detect.

And to deal with this kind of problem, they need their night fighter units to fly lower!

The engines on both wings were rumbling, almost idling. The speed of the plane was about 200 kilometers per hour, and the height above the ground was only a few hundred meters. At this height, the sky above was quite empty. .

The whip antenna on the nose continuously radiated electromagnetic waves. After more than ten minutes of flight, finally, bright spots appeared on the screen of the cathode ray tube in the cabin.

The Soviet bomber was found! Moreover, as long as it can be seen on the airborne radar, it means that the other party is nearby.

"The third brigade, pay attention, find the target, continue to fly forward, and prepare to fight." Prince Wei Yangen shouted over the radio.

The night fighters of the entire brigade were instantly excited, and the enemy was right in front of them!

At this time, they were flying eastward. Soon, they saw huge shadows in the starry sky. The Soviets' large four-engine bomber was flying at an altitude of 800 meters. Wow, they're so brave!

It's no wonder that the ground radar of one's own side can't detect it.

At this time, they looked up at the sky. As long as they found the right direction, they were easy to see, but those Soviet bombers higher than them were not easy to spot them.

In this way, the two sides flew staggered, and then the night fighters drew a half circle in the airspace ahead, and they turned.

Turning around, Prince Wei Yangen looked at the Soviet bomber unit that was flying forward, and issued a combat order to his subordinates: "Go under the Soviet bomber, let's fire together, don't let one go!"

As long as they opened fire, the Soviet bomber troops would disperse. In the dark night sky, some lucky planes would surely escape. The detection distance of the airborne radar of four kilometers is actually very close. The other side, if the other side drills lower, it will be even more difficult.

Prince Wei Yangen's order was responded to by others, and for them, this was an excellent hunting opportunity.

The pilots operated their fighters and slowly approached the Soviet bombers.

In the dark, the formations will not be particularly dense, otherwise it is easy to collide, and such a gap makes it easy for German fighter jets to pass through.

Under the belly of each bomber, there is a night fighter. It is not too much to describe the current night fighter pilots.

What they will use is their secret weapon, the oblique music machine gun on the back of the machine, which is specially used to deal with the enemies above.

If they use their cannons in the nose, they have to attack from behind the opponent, then they may be seen by other aircraft behind the opponent, and they cannot be wiped out.

Now, these bombers are paying attention to the airspace in front of them. They don't realize that there are German night fighters under their belly.

Of course, it's not completely under the belly, because the oblique music system shoots forward and above, so the night fighters follow the opponent's back and below.

"Activate the oblique music system."

Following the order, two gun barrels appeared on the back of the fuselage, a 30mm MK108 cannon, these two cannons were arranged at a 65-degree angle diagonally upward, each with 100 rounds of ammunition, which was specially for the enemy. Bomber Force Tailored Busters!

"Attention, the countdown is about to come, prepare to fire and slow down and turn sideways." Wei Yangen continued to give orders on the radio.

"Three, two, one, fire!"

Fire!

After getting the order, Captain Murray in the middle pressed his finger on the button, and instantly, on the back of the plane, a violent 30mm shell was fired.

Almost all the firepower started at the same time, and the entire fleet of the Soviets, unsuspecting, was hit hard.

"Boom!" The fuselage of a Pe-8 bomber was interrupted, and after it became two pieces, it fell downward.

"Pay attention to the front, no, pay attention to the back!" Every night fighter was two pilots, and at this time, behind Captain Murray, his partner was reminding him loudly.

This method of attacking under the opponent carries a certain degree of danger, because after the opponent falls, it moves downward, and there is no regularity, such as now.

The bomber, which was broken in two, smashed towards Murray's plane. Murray skillfully pushed the lever to avoid it, but at this moment, the wreckage of another bomber on the side also fell and hit him. rear of the aircraft.

Although Captain Murray tried his best, he still did not avoid the flying wreckage. The tail of the night fighter was smashed by half of the horizontal tail, and the plane fell down immediately.

"514, skydive!" Prince Wei Yangen's call came from the earphone.
