Chapter 1671 Knowing that You Can Die (Plus 6)

The arrival of the Americans came as a surprise.

Not early, not late, but it is this time!

After occupying Midway Island, the island nation's navy was already prepared. After all, this was a nail in the eyes of the Americans. The Americans were definitely not reconciled. Later, around Midway Island, the two sides fought ping-pong. several times.

The islanders deployed a large number of anti-aircraft artillery near the base, coupled with various firepower such as warships, and effectively guarded the airspace here. At the same time, some time ago, they also organized death squads to bomb the nearby American aviation base. Later , Americans have been honest for a while.

Today, when Pheasant Fifty-six came to Midway with great interest, to watch the latest BF109 fighters deployed by his side, he actually discovered the American attack!

This simply makes the islanders overjoyed.

If it was in the past, because of the problem of the supercharger in their Zero War, it would be helpless for the aircraft at 10,000 meters high, but now it is different. They have the BF109, which can completely intercept American bombers at high altitudes. !

Since the Americans are coming, let the Americans know how powerful they are!

"Pacific Combined Fleet, the first wing of the Midway Detachment, take off immediately!" At the base, while rushing towards the air defense fortifications surrounded by Pheasant Fifty-six, the defending commander of the Midway base, Jisaburo Ozawa, issued an order. Order.

In this era, not all the elite pilots of the island nation's navy have been lost. Although the aircraft carrier was lost, it was because of the bombing of the opponent's aircraft. Their pilots did not engage in repeated fights with the United States, resulting in the loss of all their lives.

And those who can fly the BF109 are all elites among the elites. Now, although the situation is urgent, they can be dispatched quite quickly.

The military base in the United States is well built. It is directly the aircraft cave. In the cave, the BF109s have been successfully launched. The door of the cave is opened, and the fighter planes slide along the passage towards the runway in front. .

At the end of the runway, the BF109 fighter jets took off at full speed.

Americans, if you want to bomb, then come!

Just as the planes behind were still taking off, Saburo Okamoto's fighter plane had already flown in the direction of the American bomber group.

The biggest advantage of the Zero War is the long range. Other than that, it's almost useless. The current BF109 uses a 1850-horsepower engine from Mercedes-Benz. When it starts, it brings the whole aircraft a smooth surging power.

At the same time, it was easy to climb up. Saburo Okamoto's fighter quickly climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters. He was wearing an oxygen mask and breathing the air inside. At the same time, his eyes were also watching the clear sky ahead.

It's a good day for bombing.

Finally, a bright spot appeared in front of him. At first, it was an indistinct flash of light. When he continued to fly, he could finally distinguish the bright spots one by one.

Indeed the American bomber force!

"Midway, target found, American bomber group." Saburo Okamoto shouted on the radio.

At this moment, he saw the other party's bomber fleet, and suddenly accelerated several new bright spots, and his eyes were immediately attracted: "They have escort fighter jets!"

Yes, the US bomber force, of course, must have escort fighter jets.

At this time, it was still the old rival of the island country, the 58th Bomber Wing, who flew over the most advanced American B-29 bombers.

Since they only bombed an island, they only used one bomber group. The 462nd Bomber Group, 12 B-29 bombers, flew in the forefront, the bomber of the Brigade Captain James.

They had flown from the continental U.S. on their long range, and at the same time, they were escorted by P-51 Mustang fighter jets from Air Force Base in the Hawaiian Islands.

Now, the formation was flying towards Midway Island, and James, the leader of the team, saw the solitary fighter jet in the clear airspace in the distance.

When he saw it, the pupils of his eyes shrunk, damn, the intelligence was wrong!

When they were carrying out this mission, the briefing they got, the target Midway Island, there was only about a zero battle of the wing, for them, there was no threat.

After all, the island nation's aviation technology was backward, and after the myth of the Zero War was broken, they knew that this kind of fighter was absolute scum.

Without a high-performance supercharger and unable to fly high, the B-29 is not in any danger.

In the previous bombings, the ones who came to take off and intercept were all zero-fights. Therefore, the mission briefing was not wrong, and the US intelligence personnel did not understand the BF109 group that was deployed to Midway a few days ago. The islanders have already It's a shotgun swap.

Now, just by watching the other party fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, he knows that the situation is not good. When did the islanders start to have such planes?

At this time, it was the morning, the sun rose from the east, and they attacked from the east, occupying a unique advantage.

Therefore, they took the lead in seeing the appearance of the plane on the opposite side, and when they saw the outline, James gasped even more.

BF109, the main fighter of the Germans! At the beginning of the war in Europe, this kind of aircraft was absolutely invincible all over Europe!

In short, this kind of aircraft is not easy to deal with. If the islanders are equipped with this kind of fighter aircraft, their own air raids this time will suffer heavy losses.

How to do?

Just when he was still hesitating, the P-51 fighter jets escorting around him had already rushed up, so James knew that he had no choice at all.

The bombing mission this time is very important. Their planes are carrying the most special bombs. This is a mission that must be completed. If the bombing is unsuccessful, there will still be their colleagues who will continue to risk the enemy's air defense. Firepower to bomb again.

This is the mission of the bomber unit. Even if they know that there is danger ahead, they will go up. If they are timid, more companions will be sent over.

Even if you know you are going to die, you have to try it!

Fortunately, there is only this one. It may be an accident. Now the main fighter of the Germans is the FW190. The performance of this aircraft with an air-cooled engine has almost reached the limit of a piston fighter. The BF109 has not improved in recent years, and it has become outdated. .

It may be that the islanders want one for testing. If the performance meets the needs of the islanders, will the islanders order them in large quantities?

"Attention, continue to fly according to the original plan and shrink the formation." James shouted on the radio.

Even if there are a large number of BF-109s, they don't have to be too afraid, because they have developed the unique tactics of B-29 formation flying.
