BXBX NOVEL Chapter 787: air combat
"Boom! Boom!"
The bomb exploded beside the anti-aircraft machine gun position, not only destroying the two anti-aircraft machine guns, but also tearing the machine gunners to pieces.
"Da da da!"
The anti-aircraft machine guns of the British army also began to fire crazily, and the bullets chased the German fighter planes in the sky. However, because the speed is too fast, the bullets of these anti-aircraft machine guns are difficult to hit.
The German fighter jets also began to use aviation machine guns to shoot at the anti-aircraft machine gun positions of the British army, causing more casualties to the British army.
"Very good, kill these British! How dare they ambush us!" The captain of the 31st Fighter Brigade of the German Army Air Corps looked angry. The ambush by the British just now caused them to lose several planes, and they were expensive bombers, which already made him not know how to go back and explain.
Although the British air defense troops are very brave and hardworking, ground targets are already at a disadvantage in the face of air threats. So much so that they suffered extremely heavy losses under the strafing of German planes.
However, the 31st Brigade of the German Army Air Corps will not be happy for long. In the clouds not far from them, dozens of British \'Camel\' fighter jets were rapidly approaching them under the cover of the clouds.
"God bless! The Germans have been attracted by the anti-aircraft fire on the ground and have not found us! This is our chance!" Lieutenant Colonel Henry, the officer in charge of commanding these British \'Camel\' fighter jets, had a smile on his face . As an old pilot who fought against the German Army Air Force many times on the French battlefield, Lieutenant Colonel Henry knew the horror of these German fighter planes well.
The German army is not only leading in fighter performance, even the "Camel" fighter is slightly inferior to the F2 fighter. In terms of pilots\' personal abilities and combat skills, the German army also has an advantage. The pilots of the German army have often experienced many air battles on the French battlefield, while most of the pilots of the Royal Air Force are rookies. Comparing the two, the gap is naturally reflected. Once an air battle breaks out between the two sides, it is conceivable what the final result will be.
So, the Royal Air Force took great pains to deal with the German Army Air Force. A trap was specially set up to ambush the German Army Air Corps in order to narrow the gap in strength between the two sides.
"Launch an attack and kill those German planes!" Lieutenant Colonel Henry immediately fired a flare with a flare gun.
British aircraft are not equipped with radio communication devices like the Germans, which makes their command still rely on signal flares. Fortunately, the command to attack is very simple, and every pilot can easily understand it.
Dozens of "Camel" fighter jets rushed out of the clouds and rushed towards the German fleet.
"Da da da!"
Aviation machine guns began to fire, and dense bullets were fired at the German fleet.
The first to be hit were those H1 bombers. Many H1 bombers did not leave after raising their altitude and eliminating the threat of ground air defense weapons, but were waiting for orders. But after the fighter force has cleared the ground of the threat, they will continue to attack. However, now they are in a predicament.
The bullets from the aviation machine gun easily pierced through the body of the H1 bomber, making large holes in the body.
After the pilot inside was shot, he could no longer control the plane, causing the plane to fall straight to the ground.
Although the H1 bomber is larger and stronger than the fighter. However, under the sudden attack of British fighter jets, these heavy bombers could not evade at all, and one after another was shot down.
"****! British fighter!"
"God! I\'m hit, I\'m falling!"
"Drop the bomb and return immediately!"
"Fighters come and cover us, drive out the British fighters!"
The entire bomber formation is in chaos. The pilots of those bombers probably encountered such a situation for the first time, and they didn\'t know how to deal with it. Even the bombers have machine guns for self-defense, but they can\'t show their strength at all!
"Asshole! We were unexpectedly attacked by the British!" The captain of the 31st Fighter Brigade of the German Army Air Corps couldn\'t believe the result at all. Cursing, he ordered his fighters to rescue the bombers.
The F2 fighter jets of the German army began to climb, preparing to engage the Royal Air Force.
However, at this moment, the Royal Air Force has an altitude advantage, and it is undoubtedly very difficult for the German Army Air Force to launch a counterattack against the Royal Air Force.
In terms of air combat tactics, the Royal Air Force also trained according to the tactics of the German army. This makes their tactics very similar.
Multiple \'Camel\' fighter jets took advantage of their altitude and began to dive, inserting the German F2 fighter jets into the scope.
"Da da da!"
The aviation machine guns of the \'Camel\' fighter jets fired, and dense aerial bombs shot at the German F2 fighter jets.
The nose of an F2 fighter jet was hit, causing damage to the engine, and it fell to the ground dragging thick smoke. Although the pilot parachuted in time, it was obviously not going to end well after falling into the hands of the British.
Another F2 fighter jet, the pilot was directly shot. The plane lost control, fell to the ground, and exploded into a ball of fire.
There is also an F2 fighter jet, the wing was broken in two, the plane lost its balance and fell to the ground.
It can be said that during this fight, the German Army Air Force suffered extremely heavy losses under the sudden attack of the Royal Air Force. Fighters were shot down one after another.
Especially those H1 bombers, the losses were very large.
The fighter pilots of the German Army Air Corps finally calmed down after the initial panic, and began to use the performance advantages of the F2 fighter jets to fight with the Royal Air Force.
"Da da da!"
Aviation machine guns fired continuously, bullets chasing fighter planes flying in the air. The pilots of both sides fought fiercely in this sky. Not only the German aircraft were shot down, but also the "Camel" fighter jets of the British Royal Air Force. The combat effectiveness of the German pilots gradually came into play, and they began to deal a heavy blow to the Royal Air Force.
However, because the initial losses were too great and the bullets of the aviation machine guns were consumed too much, the air battle did not last long before it ended.
