BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1628: lost heavily
The pilot was killed, the plane immediately lost control and began to fall towards the sea.
The fierce air battle caused a lot of losses to the fighters of both sides. But overall, the loss of the P-51 fighter jets of the US military is still much greater. The loss of the German carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets was much smaller.
After just ten minutes of fighting, the U.S. P-51 fighter fleet lost more than two hundred aircraft. The German carrier-based FW-190 fighters lost only more than 30 aircraft. This makes the U.S. military\'s P-51 fleet even lose its numerical advantage. This made them more and more disadvantaged in the ensuing air battle.
"God! The Germans are too powerful, we are not their opponents at all."
"Their pilot skills are far better than ours. Their fighters are also more powerful than ours. If this continues, all our fighters will be shot down soon."
In the case of increasing losses, the pilots of the P-51 fighter jets of the U.S. Army Air Forces were timid and scared. They were flying fighter planes one after another, trying to escape from this airspace and escape from the pursuit of German carrier-based planes.
"Hmph! A group of idiots. Attention all squadrons, concentrate fire on the heavy bombers attacking the Americans, and kill them all!" the German commander ordered.
"Yes, sir!" replied the squadron leaders of each squadron.
Before, the German Navy’s carrier-based aircraft group focused its firepower on attacking the U.S. P-51 fleet in order to disperse their aircraft group, so that the German army’s carrier-based aircraft group could concentrate its firepower on attacking those heavy bombers. In contrast, those heavy bombers are what the German fleet is eager to eliminate. These heavy bombers carried a lot of aerial bombs. Once these heavy bombers are allowed to drop bombs on the Bermuda Islands, the construction of the German army on the Bermuda Islands will be greatly affected.
The remaining more than 300 German carrier-based aircraft accelerated towards the US heavy bomber fleet.
At this moment, the three hundred B-17 heavy bombers of the US military have assembled into a huge fleet. A frame of heavy bombers leaned against each other. Attempt to rely on dense formation to resist the enemy\'s attack. After all, these heavy bombers are not only large in size, but also have a solid body structure. At the same time, they also have powerful self-defense firepower.
"Sir, the German carrier-based aircraft is here!" When the US heavy bomber pilots discovered that the German carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets were coming, they couldn\'t help but exclaimed.
"Damn, what about those P-51 fighter jets? Were they all shot down by the Germans?"
"Those cowards, who suffered heavy losses from the German attack, have now been dispersed."
"Asshole, call those guys to protect us immediately!" The US bomber commander ordered with a dark face.
Although the performance of the B-17 heavy bomber is very good, it is obviously not enough to deal with the German carrier-based fighter jets. Even a powerful heavy bomber cannot deal with a flexible fighter. Even if the B-17 heavy bomber has powerful self-defense firepower, it will still be easily shot down under the attack of the German carrier-based FW-190 fighter jets.
The U.S. P-51 fighter jets that had been dispersed remembered their duties. Under the command of the chief, they drove the fighter planes up again, trying to prevent the German carrier-based planes from attacking their heavy bombers.
But, it\'s too late. The attack by the German carrier-based aircraft has already begun, and the heavy bombers of the US military have suffered heavy losses under the attack of the German carrier-based aircraft.
After the German carrier-based aircraft group approached, the self-defense firepower of the US heavy bombers began to shoot. A bunch of 12.7mm aviation machine guns fired wildly, trying to form a dense anti-aircraft firepower network around the fleet to prevent the German carrier-based aircraft from attacking.
However, those flexible carrier-based aircraft easily passed through the firepower network. The seemingly dense firepower network did not pose any threat to them at all.
"Boom boom boom!"
The German carrier-based aircraft fired, and the 30mm cannon that had not been used before launched an attack on these huge heavy bombers.
The machine gun shell hit the heavy bomber of the US military, leaving bullet holes in its body. Almost every 30mm cannon shell can leave a washbasin-sized bullet hole in the body of a US heavy bomber.
Countless US heavy bombers ignited fires and even began to fall.
"God! The German carrier-based aircraft is equipped with a large-caliber cannon, and our bombers can\'t resist it."
"Damn it! The pilot is shot, the plane is out of control, and it\'s going down!"
After being attacked by German carrier-based aircraft, the US bomber group was in chaos. Some B-17 heavy bombers tried to escape, but were seized by the German carrier-based aircraft and shot down easily.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A B-17 heavy bomber exploding, burning. A shell from a 30mm machine gun hit the plane. Several big holes were blasted out of the solid machine body by shells, and the cold wind poured in, intensifying the fire.
"My God! Our plane is burning and there is smoke everywhere."
"The plane is out of control and we are falling!"
"God, help us!"
Under the attack of the German carrier-based aircraft, the US heavy bomber fleet suffered a lot. One after another, the huge B-17 heavy bombers were hit and fell to the sea.
Although, the powerful self-defense firepower of the B-17 heavy bomber also shot down some German carrier-based aircraft. But compared to their own losses, the results obtained are nothing at all.
B-17 heavy bomber body structure is very strong, so that it can effectively resist damage. However, they still couldn\'t resist the cannon shells fired by the German carrier-based aircraft. This caused a large number of B-17 heavy bombers to be shot down, completely exceeding the expectations of the US Army Air Forces.
"Bastard, speed up, we are not far from the Bermuda Islands. After flying to the Bermuda Islands, drop the bomb immediately, and then leave this ghost place!" The commander of the US bomber group ordered.
However, even if they continue to accelerate, they still cannot compare with the German carrier-based aircraft in terms of speed. The German carrier-based aircraft were like wild wolves, biting the U.S. bomber fleet, constantly shooting down the bombers on the periphery, and then peeling off the entire fleet layer by layer, as if they were peeling onions.
