Chapter 1959: Dover Storm Five
After a short but frenzied fight, a small group of lucky British interceptors finally managed to penetrate the German defenses. While other DH11s were engaged in fierce battles with K4Ms, these lucky ones were finally able to look directly at the Germans. Those huge figures are gone. The German bomber fleet was right in front of them. At a distance of less than 1 kilometer, the British could finally see the huge body of the K8 bomber at close range. And the dense machine guns on the top and bottom of the fuselage are enough to make the bravest warriors hesitate.
It has to be said that the crew that can rush to the front of the German bomber is more or less a bit heavy. Even if there is not enough time and the opponent's machine gun is about to hit their foreheads, most of the survivors still make up with the friendly troops next to them. It became a temporary crew, and rushed to the opponent in the distance with a small group of 3 to 5 planes, 800 meters! The two sides began to engage in firepower!
"The opponent's firepower doesn't seem to be fierce?" A British pilot said looking at the series of tracer bullets fired from the machine gun turret on the upper fuselage of a K8 bomber in the distance. The barrage of bullets rushing over like a wall did not appear. When the Germans started shooting, it was a series of tracer bullets, with glowing fuel behind the flying bullets, like fireflies in the dark night. The accuracy of these machine gunners is not bad. Tracks are flying beside the British aircraft. From time to time, a few bullets hit the DH11, but these are all tolerable damage. After flying a few pieces of wood or leaving some bullet marks on the steel plate, the British continued to charge towards the opponent firmly! At this distance, it may be more difficult to use this kind of firepower density to cause fatal damage to the British.
400 meters! This distance is almost the best distance for the aviation weapons of both sides. The British pilot pulled the trigger fiercely. The four machine guns fired alternately and fired hundreds of bullets in a few seconds. On the opposite side, the German bomber , all the machine guns with a range of fire on his body were aimed at one of the British interceptors at the same time, watching a circle of black holes aiming at himself, the British pilot instinctively wanted to dodge!
But it was too late! Also, the turret on the upper part of the fuselage fired a series of tracer bullets. Afterwards, the machine guns on the nose, lower part of the fuselage, and flanks of this K8 bomber all aimed at the same target. The bullet formed a loophole-type barrage that instantly enveloped the target!
Unlike the chaotic bullet screens encountered before, this time, the Germans landed very densely, and with the movement of the aircraft, in just a few seconds, before the British reacted, dozens of A single bullet pierced the cockpit of the interceptor, killing both pilots on the spot. Ten seconds later, the continuous firing of bullets was like a chainsaw, completely tearing the plane in half!
In the next five minutes, the K8 bombers of this squadron shot down 4 British fighter jets one after another. It is possible to hit more than 15 aircraft, but when they participated in the war, they were basically attacked by nearly a hundred aircraft, and this time, when the 7 British interceptors faced a squadron of German bombers, they unexpectedly Four planes were shot down in one round, and the opposite side had no loss except for one bomber that suffered moderate damage. This result surprised the Germans very much!
This time, the Germans adopted a concentrated attack tactic. To put it clearly, the machine gun on the top of the body with the best shooting position is equipped with tracer bullets and the best shooter. He chooses the target to attack and marks the target with tracer bullets. Then, through In-machine information transmission, for example, through a set of light bulbs to indicate the distance to the other party,
The other shooters then aim directly at the target. Although the technical level is not very high, it is indeed very good technically.
"God, finally bite!" After seeing four of his own planes being hit into fireballs one by one, Second Lieutenant Holland finally succeeded in occupying the attacking position. At this time, it was at the top of the box formation. Except for the two machine guns on the back, no one interfered with it. As a veteran who had shot down 3 German bombers, he naturally knew the weaknesses of the bombers. If you want to destroy your opponent with a head-to-head attack, it will be very difficult, but if you can start from the weak point, the effect will be different.
In this era, the connection between the wings and the fuselage of all bombers is the most famous. Imagine that the large bombers of various countries in this era are generally stored with folded wings, and the fuselage and wings themselves are movable, which will inevitably lead to insufficient structural strength. , and there is no such thing as a wing box to strengthen the structure in this era, so this place is often the most vulnerable. It only takes a few bullets from top to bottom to cause a wound that is difficult to heal, and then a huge wound on the wing itself Under the force of gravity, the plane will snap off on its own! However, now, Second Lieutenant Holland is at the best killing point! After hesitating for a moment, he pressed the nose of the aircraft slightly, and a K6 bomber left the middle of the scope, and then quickly covered a K8 bomber in the middle!
At a distance of 400 meters, Ensign Holland had 5 seconds to shoot! Hundreds of bullets flew towards the target with a roar of death! An oval-shaped bomb drop area was formed, several wing planks were smashed by fierce firepower, and as the plane moved, the flying fire snake slanted across the upper part of the K8 bomber, and finally, the intensive attack directed at The junction of the wings and the fuselage!
As the bullet hit the joint of the wing, a series of sparks were shot out. With the sound of metal colliding and shattering, the monster below shook violently twice, and even the height of the plane dropped a little. Holland could be sure, This guy has been hurt! But what surprised him was that after being hit by such dense large-caliber bullets, the wings of the K8 bomber were not interrupted? ! Not only did it not break, but there were no bullet holes through it!
"Damn it, what's going on?!" Holland looked at the target below in surprise, only to see a black metallic luster at the joint of the wings.
"The Germans actually added armor at the root of the wing?!" Holland was really stunned. He really didn't expect the Germans to be so frantic in their pursuit of defense! In the end, Holland could only watch the bomber leave the battlefield under the cover of several fighter jets after throwing away its load, and there was nothing he could do!
