Chapter 388 Junkers-88 Dive Bombing

"Boom!" With the explosion of the bomb, a Swordfish attack plane was detonated instantly, the plane was still sliding forward, and the flames had covered the entire nose.

A pilot, covered in fire, climbed out of the cockpit and rolled on the ground.

Except for the first plane that took off successfully, the following planes did not take off smoothly, they were already enveloped by bombs!

Four JU-88 bombers flew over the base of the undefended aviation force, blowing the runway and the planes on the apron into a sea of ​​fire!

At this time, the Swordfish attack plane was still slowly climbing.

Jack's heart was extremely angry. He looked at the sea of ​​fire below, and then at the German bomber in front, full of fighting spirit.

Be sure to shoot down the German bombers!

Jack listened to the roar of the engine in front and watched the rotation of the propeller, while in the distance, those bombers disappeared quickly.

Damn it!

Jack couldn't keep up with those bombers at all!

The fastest speed of his Swordfish attack aircraft is only more than 200 kilometers per hour, while the German Junker-88 bomber, even with two tons of bombs, can fly to 500 kilometers per hour, and now, in After dropping the bomb, the German bomber immediately accelerated to return. In front of the Swordfish attack aircraft, the other party was as fast as lightning.

Can't catch up, can't catch up!

Then fly by yourself, what's the use?

Jack was sitting in the cabin, waving his fists weakly. When he flew high, he could see more clearly. At this time, the entire base was under heavy blow from Germany.

At the port, nearly ten large warships are burning. The fire will surround the entire port. The smoke is filled, and the rest of the warships are firing into the sky intermittently. Those German bombers are still there. Attack!

Stop the German bombers!

Jack knows that the only thing he can do now is to fly to the sea to intercept the German bombers!

Although his plane is an attack plane, he still has a machine gun that the pilot can operate. He will use this machine gun to stop the German bomber!

Turn the nose, the Swordfish attack aircraft, and fly towards the sea.

No. Hood.

When the bomb exploded nearby, Tom finally found a gap in the battle and loaded the bullets of his other two 12.7mm machine guns, so that his quadruple machine gun turrets could finally fire together!

At the same time, another sailor rushed to his side and acted as a loader for him.

The two gasped, staring in amazement at the black bombers flying in the sky.

The Germans have been planning for a long time, hundreds of Junkers -88, what a spectacular scene?

There was no time to hesitate at all. With a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, the Junkers-88 almost did not give the British Navy any respite, and it killed it!

The Junkers-88 did not have a whistle, but this large twin-engine bomber swooped down from the sky. This scene is even more exciting.

Dive!

The German Air Force has a perverted pursuit of dive bombing, so that medium bombers must have dive bombing capabilities!

And now, a bomber that just flew close immediately locked on the target of the Hood. For the pilots of the Luftwaffe, this kind of large target was the most attractive.

In the cabin, Captain Hans Joerg Bescher, with a trace of excitement in his heart, had a keen eye and recognized the Hood at a glance. Originally, he thought that the Hood was taken by the first batch of ships. The Junkers 290 bomber solved it.

Bescher's target was originally a cruiser, but when he discovered that the Hood still existed, he changed his target without hesitation.

Take down the Hood!

Bescher, in this day and age, was not yet famous, and in later generations of World War II records, he was the absolute bomber ace.

In January 1914, Bescher was born into a family of engineers. He was fascinated by flying machines at an early age, and by the age of 17 he was looking for the opportunity to learn to fly a glider.

Afterwards, he joined the Luftwaffe aviation school in January 35, but, depressed at the time, he was assigned to the heavy bomber aviation school in Tudov for observer training.

In March 1936, Bescher was promoted to second lieutenant, and he remained steadfast in his desire to become a pilot. After two years of hard work, he finally got his wish to wear the badge of observer and pilot on his uniform and was transferred to the 3rd Squadron of KG27 to become a pilot.

Just two weeks ago, Bescher became the captain of the Junkers-88 bomber, and now, it is his first combat flight!

Becher's road to ace starts here!

Bescher is tough and handsome, with blond hair, which fits the image of a mythical hero, but he is definitely not a vase who can only take pictures.

In later records, Bescher was just 31 years old when the war ended. His flying career saw almost the entire development of the German bombing force aircraft.

Initially he was flying an open-top twin-engine Dornier Do-23, which he called a "barge," and by the end of the war he was already flying the Ar-234, the world's first jet bomber.

Meanwhile, in this world war, he completed a total of 658 combat missions and dropped more than six thousand tons of bombs.

And now, Bescher's first battle is about to make a great contribution!

Hood!

The Junker-88 bomber dived towards the Hood. At this time, the Hood had begun to have air defense firepower!

Aft of the Hood, a 4" 45 caliber QF HA MkXVI antiaircraft gun began firing into the sky.

"Boom!" The 102mm cannonball spewed out of the muzzle. There was a flame at the muzzle, and then the cannonball flew out.

"Boom!" The shell exploded almost not far from the Junkers-88 bomber, sending up a black smoke that made the Junkers-88 tremble.

Bescher was unmoved, and as a dive bomber pilot, when the dive started, he was not afraid of any fire on the ground!

"Da da da!" On the quadruple machine gun turret, Jack was also shooting with all his strength. The 12.7mm machine gun bullets formed a terrible barrage and shot at the diverging bomber.

Dive, keep diving! The Junkers-88 bomber, dashing almost vertically, dived towards the Hood below!

In fact, it seems dangerous, but diving is very safe.

When diving toward the opponent's warship, the area facing it is the smallest. At the same time, the dive brings speed, so that the opponent's air defense firepower is difficult to react to.

In this era, there are no artillery aiming radars, fire control computers, and whether the anti-aircraft artillery can hit or not depends on the experience of the anti-aircraft artillery commander, and a certain advance is set. In dive bombing, there is very little time left for the opponent!

The most terrifying 102mm anti-aircraft gun fired only three shells, and the Junker-88 bomber had already dived to a height of 300 meters, and then the bomb bay door of the belly was opened.

Throw bombs!

PC1000RS, a bomb specially designed to deal with heavy warships, flew out of the bomb bay of the Junker-88, and with the advantage of the just dive, it went straight towards the Hood and rammed up!
