Chapter 1674 Sky Fortress (Plus 9)

Aiming is not easy. If you want to shoot in the sky, you need skills.

Like the artillery on the ground, the first thing is to measure the distance. This distance measurement, in the tank soldiers, is converted by the width of the opposite tank in its own sight. According to the known data, it is compared with the width in the sight. , according to the principle of perspective, you can know the distance.

So, if an unknown tank is approaching from the opposite side, and the width is not known, it may be a wrong measurement.

In the sky, fighter pilots also need to measure distances. They don’t just glance at them to know how far they are. Fighter pilots also measure distances in this way, usually with their wingspan.

For a known fighter, the wingspan is determined. If the fighter is behind, it needs to be calculated manually. Now, the B-29 is of course automated.

On the sight, there is a special device for setting the wingspan of the enemy aircraft. As long as the target type is determined, the wingspan of the enemy aircraft is estimated and set according to the manual or visually, and then the size of the front sight aperture is adjusted, and the central fire control The system can automatically calculate the distance and perform shooting compensation according to the speed, distance, angle of the target and the speed of the machine.

Yes, shooting compensation is very important, because in the air, the trajectory is curved, and at the same time, both sides are in fierce motion.

Now, on the sights of the remote-controlled turret, Dex earnestly followed the previous training, proceeding step by step, and the outline of the target aircraft was getting bigger and bigger.

"Fire!" Dex shouted loudly, then his left hand pressed the 30-degree metal tab on the left ratchet, which was the final safety switch, and his right hand pressed the button.

"Da da da." In an instant, the front turret and rear turret on the back of the fuselage all fired!

If in normal times, the front turret is controlled by the bombardier, but now that the aircraft has entered the bombing route, the bombardier needs to concentrate on bombing, so the front turret is operated by the main gunner together.

Two turrets and four 12.7mm machine guns fired into the sky together, and countless bullets formed a fire network in the sky.

It's not just their plane. At this time, almost a dozen planes, the turrets above are firing into the sky together, and the forty-eight 12.7mm machine guns at the top are all firing violently into the sky.

Takahashi, who rushed down first, immediately realized that the situation was not good. Just in pursuit of the accuracy of the hit, he did not fire at a long distance, because the 20mm machine gun, although the firepower was fierce, did not have enough ammunition. If you keep shooting, it will be exhausted soon, he must get close, and strive to hit every shot.

Now, he knows that the trouble is big, and it looks like a hedgehog underneath!

Forty-eight machine guns fired into the sky together. How spectacular is that? In short, in the eyes of the pilots, there is a rain of death, and whoever goes in will not be able to escape.

At the same time as the fire on the top, the turret below also fired.

It was originally planned to carry out a sneak attack from below, but now, the 48 machine guns below are also firing violently below. The entire B-29 flight formation is like a flying fortress, with strict protection on all sides. In fact, there are hardly any dead ends!

Yes, there is no dead angle. Any plane that breaks in will be shot with holes and drop with black smoke.

This is the last life-saving trick of the bomber formation.

In the past, light bombers only had a machine gun at the rear, and there were many dead spots for shooting. However, when it evolved into a huge bomber, the number of gun emplacements on the fuselage would increase, which greatly enhanced the protection capability. Just like now.

Even without escort by fighter jets, they can protect themselves only by themselves. B-29 is worthy of its title of flying fortress!

There were flying machine gun bullets everywhere, and it was airtight. Even if they couldn't shoot down the enemy plane, it was enough to make the opponent retreat. As long as they persisted for a few minutes, they would complete the task!

It's a pity that they encountered islanders.

If it is a German, they will definitely choose to give up, because the Germans have received education, and they will not exchange their lives for victory unless they have to. The price is too high, they must protect their lives, the Empire need them.

However, the islanders are different. The islanders have a single-minded brain. Once they identify something, they will never be afraid of death.

"Long live the Emperor!" In fact, only one second had passed. After Takahashi swooped down, the other party opened fire in an attempt to expel them. In an instant, Takahashi made his choice.

Don't be afraid of these firepower, even if you hit them, you must knock them down!

These bombers are going to bomb their own bases. Even if one bomber successfully drops the bomb, it will cause them heavy losses. A bomb on the runway will prevent the fighter plane from taking off.

They will never compromise, and at the same time, the chance for them to intercept is only this time. Once the two sides cross, and they catch up, the other party will definitely start dropping bombs!

Takahashi shouted loudly, and at the same time, operated his fighter plane and continued to dive without fear.

Behind him, the other bombers also dived one by one!

Sparks appeared from the propeller in front. It was because the propeller shot the bullet, and the opponent's shot was really accurate!

You will not be left behind!

Takahashi's hand pressed on the operating lever, and in the vibration of the dive, he pressed the shooting button.

"Tom tom tom." There was a flame from his axis cannon, and he was sure that his blow would definitely hit!

At this moment, his nose suddenly shook, and then, a black smoke came out from the front.

No, a bullet actually passed through the propeller, hit his engine, and interrupted the oil circuit!

BF109 is sturdy, it also depends on where it is shot, on the fuselage, on the wings, some bullet holes can withstand it, even the fuel tank, because it has self-closing technology, it is not afraid.

However, the engine of the nose is different. In order to dissipate the heat of the engine, it is impossible to protect it with thick armor. Now, the oil pipe was hit, and the high-grade fuel splashed on the supercharger, and the fire burst out immediately. .

"Go to hell, Yankee!" Takahashi shouted loudly. From the middle of the flames, he aimed at the position of the opponent's bomber and continued to dive down. At this moment, he was not afraid of anything.
