Chapter 394 Jack's Attack

It took off with great difficulty, but it turned out to be a soy sauce. Watching the warships below were hit, watching the port where the smoke was full, Jack was extremely angry in his heart.

He had been unable to use his punches, and now he finally had a chance. Jack pushed the throttle all the way, the engine roared, and flew towards the injured bomber.

Kill it, kill it!

Although the torpedo attack plane is not used in air combat, but now, he must shoot down the German plane!

The Swordfish attack plane gradually flew closer from behind the opponent, and at the same time, the opponent also found him, and the 7.92mm machine gun aimed at him.

"Da da da." Mueller opened fire first, and the machine gun bullets splashed towards the chasing plane behind.

But to no avail, Jack pushed the lever, and the Swordfish began to dive down.

Mueller's fire just now was just to disperse the other party and let the other party retreat, but now, instead, the position of their machine guns has been exposed.

Jack discovered that the opponent's rear machine gun was firing normally, and immediately changed his tactics.

Generally speaking, when fighter jets hit bombers, they approach at high speed from the rear, hit and run. After all, tail-chasing attacks are the easiest to achieve, and fighter jets have better maneuverability.

Therefore, the general bomber will have a machine gun that shoots backwards, and arranges a rear shooter to imitate the tail attack.

However, the tail is also divided into an upper hemisphere and a lower hemisphere. Due to the obstruction of the fuselage, the shooter in the rear cockpit can only attack the target in the upper hemisphere, and the following is the blind spot.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this defect is not too serious, because the aircraft can make various maneuvers in the air, even if the bomber is slow, turned over, and its belly is turned upside down.

After turning over, the machine gunner in the back seat can deal with the target in the lower hemisphere, it's that simple.

At the same time, it is not easy to sneak attack from the back and below, and attacking from the back is never as pleasant as diving. Therefore, there are almost no cases of attacking from the back and below.

But now, it is an opportunity.

Because this Junkers-88 was wounded.

Losing one engine and the other engine running at full power resulted in a large yaw moment. In this case, it is good to be able to fly smoothly. It will never do any maneuvering. If you don't pay attention, absolutely It's the end of the machine.

As for turning over, it is even more impossible.

Jack seized this opportunity. After he found the machine gunner behind the opponent, he immediately dived down, came to the opponent's lower hemisphere, and attacked from behind!

"The target is gone," Mueller said.

As the opponent swooped, he disappeared from Mueller's field of vision. The inexperienced Muller thought that the opponent's attack would not give up. He did not expect how fierce the opponent's next attack would be.

Jack pulled up his lever, this time, he must kill the opponent!

The speed of the biplane is not fast, Jack is not worried, the other party did not find himself at all, it is simply too careless!

The swordfish attacked the plane a little bit closer to the front, and Jack operated his plane steadily. Now, it is as perfect as ordinary target shooting, and he must shoot down the opponent!

At the nose, the .303-inch aviation machine gun with a synchronizer is ready to fire. Just get a little closer and you can fire!

In 1928, the famous British military company Vickers and Armstrong cooperated to design and develop a self-defense machine gun for bombers, the Vickers K-type aviation machine gun.

This machine gun was adopted by the British Air Force in large quantities, and even the ground troops were equipped with a lot.

Converted to the metric system, it is 7.7 mm. This caliber is the main caliber in the UK, and there are a lot of bullets to consume. Therefore, although the caliber of this aviation machine gun is not large, it is the main equipment of the UK.

Correspondingly, the range of this type of machine gun is very short and its power is not large. These disadvantages were later made up for by the .50 machine gun. However, the British were still very stubborn and still equipped a large number of .303 machine guns, even with quadruple mounts. , put it on the bomber, and are not willing to use the .50 replacement in an all-round way.

The engines were roaring, the biplane was climbing, and on its nose, the Junkers 88 had managed to get within his range.

Fire! Jack pressed the button on the steering column without hesitation. He was quite confident that these bullets would all land on the opponent's fuselage, preferably igniting the fuel on it.

Bescher's arm was extremely sore. The Junkers-88 was originally a fairly easy-to-control aircraft. The pressure of the hydraulic oil was high and the operating lever was very light.

But now, the lever seemed to weigh ten thousand pounds, and his arm was extremely sore. Suddenly, his left hand lost strength.

The whole plane yawed to the right immediately!

"Da da da." At this time, there was a crisp machine gun sound from below.

There is an attack!

The 7.7mm machine gun bullet was originally aimed at the belly of the Junker-88, but just now, the Junker-88 suddenly yawed, causing the bomber's fuselage to turn in a different direction.

As a result, only a dozen rounds of 7.7mm bullets landed on the fuselage, making small holes one by one, and the rest were shot empty!

If it is a 12.7mm bullet or a 20mm cannon, then as long as one hits it, a big hole will be torn open, but now, the 7.7mm bullet is too weak!

"Quick, go down!" Bescher held the joystick again and said to the navigator in front.

The Junkers-88 is a medium-sized bomber, and the cockpit is several meters high from the ground, so it does not enter directly from the cockpit cover like ordinary fighter jets, but from the belly.

There is access to the lower rear of the cockpit, and then a ladder for the flight crew to get up and down.

At the same time, this passage is also the passage to operate the machine gun below.

The Junkers-88 can protect its lower rear hemisphere area. This is the MG 81Z double-barreled rotary 7.92mm machine gun on the armored Bola pod under the cockpit.

However, the Junker-88 has only four crew members, so this machine gun is basically in an idle state. When needed, someone can climb over to operate it.

At the same time as being shot, Bescher judged that the attack on his side was coming from below and behind, and he immediately shouted to his navigator, the position of the navigator, it is the fastest to climb over, and at the same time, the navigator is now With no weapons in hand, he was the best man.

Protect your bombers!

The entire crew was preparing quickly, and at the same time, Jack continued to push the throttle in disappointment.

Just after entering the attacking position, he can't keep shooting, otherwise the distance will get closer and closer, there is a danger of collision, and at the same time, once the opponent explodes, the debris will threaten Jack.

However, Jack did not expect that when his bullet was about to hit, the other party actually turned!

That's abominable!

Whether it was just a coincidence or not, Jack was going to make a second attack!

Jack skillfully glanced directly behind himself before re-entering the attack.

Under no circumstances should you ignore your rear! Jack always remembered the words of his instructor.

The open-top swordfish attack aircraft, it is easy to see the back, just turned his head back, Jack is shocked, FW190!
