Chapter 1047 Ilya Muromets 3
Chapter 1047 Ilya Muromets 3
"It seems that I am the one who will end it. This will be my most proud prey!" The Red Baron once again seized the attack position and launched a second round of raids. During this attack, the Red Baron went directly to the last 200 meters. Pull up! More than 200 rounds of bullets were fired in one go. At the connection between the left wing of the aircraft and the body, two fiery red bullet chains removed the entire wing from the aircraft like a sharp sword! The giant who was showing off his power more than ten minutes ago hit the ground with his body covered in flames. Before the plane landed, the structure of the aircraft itself was overwhelmed and it collapsed into several parts. And the Red Baron also got the most proud kill since the war started!
"Huh?! What's going on?" Richthofen looked up and suddenly saw the hail of bullets flying between the two fleets in the distance. The fiery snakes fired by the Russians were intertwined with the red tracer bullets unique to German fighter jets. Even though he was several kilometers away, the Red Baron could still feel the intense shooting between the two sides!
They were three Muromets bombers arranged in a Z-shaped formation. They formed a tight formation to resist the attacks of at least nine fighter jets outside. The Russians' firepower was very fierce, almost all the time. There were more than a dozen machine guns tilting wildly into the air, raining bullets. The whizzing bullets accompanied the rotation of the machine guns, drawing arcs of death in the air, driving away or tearing into pieces any targets that dared to get close!
A J-1C fighter jet tried to attack from the rear. However, before it could fire, three machine guns on a Russian bomber on the side were already aimed at the poor guy. The sudden incendiary bombs directly hit the aircraft. Became a flying torch.
"We have almost no room to attack. Each of their planes has at least 6 or more machine guns, and the three bombers are not at the same altitude. Even if we want to attack from above with weaker firepower, we may not be able to. They are like Like a group of elephants huddled together, pointing their pointed tusks outward." Lieutenant Sherman, who participated in the battle after the war, described the situation at the time.
"Let's go up and help them." The Red Baron, who had just made his first kill today, rushed over with the remaining two planes in high spirits. However.......
"Hold the grass! There's no way to do this!" After entering the battlefield, the Red Baron felt his scalp tightening when he looked at the formation of Russian bombers that were spitting out fire snakes like hedgehogs. He had no choice but to be afraid. If everyone were to challenge each other, The Red Baron can use his skills to trick most enemies, just like a top assassin, gliding in the air with elegant dance steps, and then artistically ending the opponent's life with the dagger in his hand, but when you face a wall of iron What can you do when the wall hits you? I'm afraid a normal person would consider smashing it open with a hammer or a siege cone! However, the firepower of the J-1C fighter jet is at most the level of a dagger. If you use a dagger to poke an iron wall, wouldn't that make you feel uncomfortable?
There are almost no actual blind spots. Although it is theoretically possible to attack from below, the climb of World War I aircraft is very slow. Even if the speed is increased at a smaller angle,
The speed of the aircraft will also decrease greatly, and now the Russian aircraft has thrown away all the bombs and used half of the fuel, so the speed is faster than usual, so it wants to catch up with the height advantage by climbing shallowly from the bottom. bomber, this is really difficult!
And if you attack from above, it will be a bit difficult because the opponent is laid out in a ladder. After all, airplanes in this era cannot fly high. The Russian airplane had already climbed to an altitude of 3,500 meters when evacuating. At this altitude, the fighter's maneuverability also dropped sharply because there was no pressurization problem. So this altitude is close to the zenith altitude of World War I aircraft. If you can't go up, you won't be able to dive!
"Everyone, come together! Fight the last one!" The Red Baron communicated with his teammates with gestures and was the first to lead the charge! Three J-1C aircraft entered from 200 meters above the target aircraft, and then all slid down when they were 800 meters away! Three aircraft entered the range of the Russian bomber's tail gun almost at the same time! Well, how can the Russians, who only have two machine guns at the tail, deal with three J-1C fighter jets at the same time?
The firepower is not enough to make up for the quantity! Since there is no trick, just be tough! Anyway, I have an absolute advantage in numbers! The Red Baron's thinking is very direct, but also very efficient! Of course, this is somewhat dangerous! It's almost a bayonet fight!
Three 12.7MM machine guns and three 7.92MM machine guns sprayed out angry fire snakes almost at the same time. A ring of bullets formed a ring of fire and quickly pushed forward. This kind of firepower may be nothing in the second battle, and it is not as good as the first. A FW190A8 with full firepower. But in this era, such firepower is absolutely devastating to any aircraft! Especially when the opponent has already hit the head, from 600 meters to 150 meters!
"Go to hell, bastard!" The two sides fired wildly at a distance of less than 400 meters. The Russians were also stunned by this desperate tactic. Another Muromets bomber also turned its guns and began to support. A plane on the left side of the Red Baron was hit by three machine guns at the same time and was instantly torn apart! The death of his teammates also made the Red Baron really jealous! The remaining two planes have been chasing the bomber to attack! As for the miserable tail machine gunner, he had been torn to pieces together with his two machine guns! After losing the most important weapon at the back, the fate of this aircraft is already doomed!
Like smelling bloody piranhas, the two fighter jets kept shooting! Until the baron shoots out all the bullets! The bomber, whose entire tail had been beaten into a honeycomb, was finally unable to go back. With a butt of flames and thick smoke, it was gradually losing altitude and speed. At this time, the Baron was also frightened into a cold sweat. His plane There was a discordant vibration coming from the front engine. The bullet probably hit the annular shield at the front of the engine. Although it was not penetrated, the severe impact had already damaged the engine. The windshield on the front was damaged. The glass was half-broken, and a small piece of the upper wing of the plane was cut off. If it happened again, it would be difficult for the Red Baron to be sure whether he still had the guts...
The air battle in World War I would not last too long. The range of fighter jets was very limited. After rounds of battles between the aircraft of both sides, two Russian Ilya Muromets bombers were shot down, and another one was shot down. One aircraft was suspected of being destroyed, and the remaining three were severely damaged. The German Air Force actually shot down 6 fighter jets in this battle, and also disabled 3 more! Something that has never happened before!
"Now I need a plane full of machine guns, even a twin-engine plane!" After the Red Baron returned, he did not talk about his achievements in this battle, but asked for more firepower.
