Chapter 398 Axis Cannon Attack
Jack grabbed the target and wanted to attack, but he didn't expect that the first attack would actually fail.
Although during the first attack, he could clearly see that the opponent's abdomen also had a machine gun that was firing backwards, but he was not afraid. He wanted to continue to enter for the second time and attack again.
However, at this time, the situation changed again. When he turned his head and scanned the battlefield habitually, he realized that at some point, a German fighter had appeared in his most dangerous six The o'clock position!
So he gave up his attack and pushed the lever quickly.
"Da da da." Rick's fighter, the first shot, also failed, the bullet slid across the opponent's nose and flew to the side.
After taking off from the aircraft carrier, Rick did not skimp on fuel, and flew at full speed at high altitude, with a speed of more than 600 kilometers per hour, so that his fighter plane quickly flew to Scapa Flow, when he saw the scene below when it was just so pleasing to the eye.
One after another, the British warships are raising smoke. They have just suffered a terrible attack. Their own air force has done a great job!
It was more than ten minutes later than the scheduled time. Originally, they should have arrived with their Junkers-88 bombers after they arrived on the battlefield, but now it seems that even without their own escort, the bombers' companions Well done!
The British fleet, this time absolutely suffered heavy losses.
And now, their arrival has made the situation on the battlefield even clearer. The British cannot escape from this bombing!
As soon as he arrived at the battlefield and calmly observed the situation, Rick suddenly discovered a problem. One of his own bombers was being pursued by British aircraft!
Under such circumstances, it is not easy for the British to take off a plane to meet him. Rick also admires his opponent. However, that kind of biplane, in front of him, is definitely the slowest prey. !
Rick pushed the accelerator and dived down from the air, trying to shoot down the opponent while the opponent attacked his bomber.
Now Rick is no longer a rookie. In the Spanish Civil War, a large number of pilots have gained practical experience. Now, Rick is quite calm.
He didn't shoot right away, but kept approaching, approaching, and when the opponent entered his killing distance, he pressed the shooting button.
Unfortunately, the other party actually escaped!
Rick shook his head in disappointment, and flew over the other side quickly.
The advantage of the biplane is that it is very flexible and has a small turning radius, while the single-wing FW190 has good climbing performance and high speed.
For example, if Rick reduces his speed now, bites his tail with the opponent, and fights in the air on the horizontal surface, then maybe Rick will suffer, because his aircraft is definitely not as flexible as a biplane at low speed.
He missed a hit, just skillfully flew over the opponent's head, and then immediately pulled up.
Don't worry about the opponent's tail biting. The aircraft behind the other side can't catch up at all. If you climb with you, you will be left behind in a few seconds.
And just as he flew by, several crew members on the Junker-88 bomber here immediately cheered.
They saw the Navy's FW190 carrier-based aircraft and saw the black cross logo painted on it. For them, it was simply too cordial.
With excitement on Bescher's face: "Thanks to our naval aviation."
Our naval air force has finally arrived. With these carrier-based aircraft, we no longer have to worry about that damn British biplane!
For the Bescher crew, their threat was gone, and as long as they could fly back, they were successful.
And for Jack, the climax of his battle is coming.
After discovering that a German fighter jet was behind him, he immediately turned the lever to make the opponent's bullet miss. When the opponent flew over his head, he looked at the cross on the opponent's wing. , the fighting spirit is even more full.
Here comes the main carrier-based fighter of the Germans. Now, let yourself duel with him!
Jack didn't catch up. He knew that his plane couldn't catch up either. Now, he could only rely on his own experience to maneuver the plane. At the same time, he raised his head high.
When the opponent is on top of his head, he will definitely dive down from above and attack him. Therefore, he must find the opponent at the first time, then avoid it, and even shoot down the opponent in the fight!
Jack kept his head up, but the damned German's plane climbed eastward, toward the sun.
Although it was still morning, the light of the sun was already very dazzling, dazzling him, and he had to lower his head. Now, even looking around, he was a little dazzled.
If you don't believe me, you stare at the sun yourself?
Needless to say, in this era, even in later generations, with advanced goggles, they are unwilling to fight against the sun, and flying in the direction of the sun is always a common plan for fighting.
Although he can no longer look at each other, Jack knows that the other party will definitely fly over from the sun!
When the other side swoops down, then he can only dive in the same way, pulling the other side to the sea.
A biplane like myself has quite good maneuverability. Even when it is only ten meters away from the sea, if I pull the lever again, I can pull it up with confidence, but the other party is different. If the other party follows me down, they will definitely react. But come on, plunge into the sea.
With this thought in mind, Jack was waiting. He didn't know that death had come from behind.
Of course Rick wouldn't fly from the direction of the sun again, although it was easy that way. The other party suddenly turned around just now, which made Rick realize that the other party was also a veteran of flying. So, after pulling up towards the sun, he got into a cloud cover. At that time, the direction changed.
After leaving the clouds, Rick circled behind the other party again.
This time, he adjusted his weapon switch to the position of the shaft gun.
The other party didn't notice anything, and was always watching the direction of the sun, and Rick, approached, approached again, put the other party on his sight, and then opened fire!
"Tom tom tom!" The MG151/20 cannon spit out 20mm shells from the middle of the propeller and flew towards the opponent!
The MG 151 is a 15mm caliber cannon developed by the Mauser Arsenal. All the data are quite unreliable. After that, the Mauser Arsenal increased the caliber and changed it to a 20mm cannon.
Historically, this type of cannon only appeared in 41 years, but after the end of the Spanish Civil War, under the suggestion of the Luftwaffe, this large-caliber cannon was quickly developed.
Now this cannon has become the main weapon of the Air Force and is widely used in various fighters, fighter-bombers, night fighters, attack aircraft and bombers.
Four armor-piercing incendiary rounds, mixed with a tracer round, even in the daytime, the trajectory looks quite clear.
