Chapter 837

In the French war, HS129 has already shown its edge. It has armor protection and can not fear the threat of anti-aircraft fire on the ground, and dive bombing or strafing can bring heavy casualties to the ground.

Therefore, this aircraft has become an explosive model, which makes the Air Force very satisfied. Unfortunately, the Air Force still cannot find a suitable high-horsepower engine to replace it.

After all, for the Air Force, the first thing to ensure is the production of air fighters, followed by bombers. Therefore, only the original engine can be used, resulting in its poor maneuverability and insufficient number of shells.

After defeating France, I finally found a suitable engine from France. After the replacement, the maneuverability of HS129 has finally been improved. At the same time, the cannon in the belly can also carry more shells. !

how many?

A full 100 rounds of 40mm armor-piercing incendiary bombs! This plane is a dedicated tank opener!

Now, the HS129 fleet swooped down from the sky when it spotted the British tank troops below.

The British tank soldiers are brave, they are ready to deal with the German Panther tanks that may appear at any time, and they are also ready to sacrifice, even if it is three for one, they are worth it!

However, they never thought that the first thing they encountered was the German attack aircraft!

These early Sherman tanks did not have any anti-aircraft firepower, no anti-aircraft machine guns, and no protection.

If they came out a little later, they could be temporarily hidden in the forest behind, but now, they are bare and exposed like this!

Chloe, the commander of the 7th Armored Regiment, found the German plane above his head immediately. At this moment, he was faced with a difficult choice.

How to do how to do?

"Rush, keep rushing, rush to the opposite position!" Chloe shouted loudly on the radio.

At this time, he was not in the turret, and half of his body was exposed. Just like riding in a convertible, he had an omnidirectional vision, which was why he was able to spot the German plane in the first place!

As long as you rush to the opposite position, the opponent will not dare to fire in order to prevent accidental strikes. This is the only way!

At this moment, his ears were attracted by the increasingly sharp Doppler sound, an hs129 was diving towards him!

Fight first without fear of death!

In the air, with the excellent vision of the pilot, Captain Weber had already seen the special tank on the ground. The other party actually showed half of his body outside, wearing headphones and holding a microphone in his hand. He looked very handsome, but in fact Very stupid.

So Webb swooped down, his fuselage began to shake with excitement, he steadied his lever, and the aiming ring firmly looped over the tank on the ground.

The speed of the dive was getting faster and faster, and the distance was getting smaller and smaller. At an altitude of 300 meters, Captain Weber pressed the trigger.

"Tom tom tom!" Don't be stingy with the cannonballs, he just fired three shots, three cannonballs, and flew out of the muzzle one after another. At the same time, he pulled the operating lever backwards and fully opened the throttle. In the roar of the engine, The fighter pulled up easily!

After the replacement of a new engine, the performance of this aircraft has undergone a reborn change!

Just as he was climbing, he flipped over and looked down.

The 40mm cannonball hit the bottom accurately. The first one hit the exposed guy. In an instant, his body exploded, the minced meat splashed, and the entire tank turned blood red. The second one went in from the turret, and the third one hit the engine behind.

The fire spread, and the entire tank was burning!

The regiment commander was killed like this. On the tank on the side, the deputy regiment commander James watched helplessly as the regiment leader's tank was blown up, the raging fire, and the black smoke billowing into the sky. He suddenly woke up. .

To deal with the plane overhead, you can use smoke!

In fact, things like smoke have been used in ancient wars. In the early days, smoke was used as a warning. Later, it was found that smoke can also hide whereabouts.

In later generations, all tanks have smoke generators on both sides of the turret. During World War II, many tanks already had this kind of thing. For example, the Tiger type in history has both sides of the turret, and the Matilda tank also has this kind of thing. .

However, Sherman has not yet, at least not now the Sherman tanks that the United States has aided Britain!

How can I put smoke without a smoke generator?

"Quick, turn off the engine, restart the engine, and release the black smoke!" This was the only way for James.

Later generations pay attention to environmental protection, and the engine cannot emit black smoke. However, in this era, it is not normal for the engine to not emit black smoke. For example, the radial engine behind the current Sherman tank, when it is started, it is a group. Big black smoke!

James' order, radioed to each of the tanks, was peculiar as it was, but they followed suit.

Anyway, relying on inertia, the tank can still run forward, relying on the outstanding power system, this kind of tank can also reach a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour, change to neutral, turn off the engine, and then restart!

The roar of the tail disappeared, and then, the electric current stimulated the motor, and the motor at the tail trembled, and a stream of black smoke continued to blow out!

It has nine cylinders, and in the process of starting, not all the cylinders can start well together. Many times, one or two start first, and then drive the others.

This start-up process can even last for a minute, and during this minute, black smoke is constantly blowing out.

The engine was trembling and black smoke was blowing. This scene was quite spectacular. At this time, the tank was still running forward by inertia, so a black smoke was pulled out.

The wind is now blowing from the west, and they are attacking westward.

Therefore, the leading tanks were still exposed, but they managed to diffuse the black smoke into the tank units behind!

When hundreds of tanks smoked together, the scene was spectacular.

The pilots of the hs129 attack aircraft in the sky couldn't help but scold the British below for being shameless. When there was smoke below, their attacks would be meaningless. The guns had to hit accurately. Now, they can't see it.

"Attack the front! Give Stuka what's in the smoke!" Captain Weber was not discouraged, he shouted over the radio, and swooped down.

Anyway, the Stuka bombers are carrying bombs, so let them cover them with bombs.
