Chapter 1671 Attack bomber 8)

One island fighter jet has restrained four escort fighters, and now, the entire B-29 bomber group is only escorted by twelve Mustang fighters.

After all, they think that the islanders do not have a high altitude advantage, so they enter from high altitude and then leave from high altitude, and the escort fighter planes just follow them to walk around.

But now, James has found that things are not going well.

At this time, they were only a few dozen kilometers above the target. If they had good eyesight, they could see clearly above the target. There were fighter planes rising up and flying towards their own side.

If all the people who come here are bf109, it will be troublesome, but it shouldn't be so bad, right? Otherwise, why is there nothing in the information?

As the take-off fighter planes continued to climb higher, their nervousness gradually intensified. When the other party climbed to the same height as them, the distance between the two sides was less than ten kilometers.

"Note that all the people who come are bf109, dense formations, let's greet them with roaring bullets!"

Although terrible aircraft like the Juncker-290 have appeared in this era in advance, for the United States and for Boeing, the B-29 is still a cross-age existence.

In the past, altitude of 10,000 meters was almost impossible to reach. The planes of the island countries were almost circled at an altitude of two or three thousand meters. The serious problem was the low temperature and hypoxia in the high altitude.

For example, when the B-17 bomber wants to perform a mission, he must wear a bulky electric flight suit and an oxygen mask that is inappropriate. Even so, it will be very cold after one time. If he is suddenly hit by the oxygen tube during the battle, he will be unconscious in a few minutes. If the electric flight suit is interrupted, he will be frozen to death.

In short, high altitudes are not suitable for people to survive.

Especially the machine gunner, sitting in the full-view glass ball cover with the best view, is even more dangerous.

Now, b-29 is different.

It uses a supercharged cockpit, and everyone is almost wearing half-sleeved in the plane. At the same time, the turret has become a remote-controlled turret. The machine gunner only needs to control the operating lever in front of his operating table.

As a huge aircraft, the b-29 has five turrets installed on the nose, back and belly of the aircraft. Each turret is equipped with two 12.7mm machine guns, and a 20mm gun is added to the tail turret. The four remote control turrets and the tail turrets are 12.7mm machine guns, each carrying 1,000 rounds of ammunition. There is also a 20mm m2 gun B-type in the tail turret with 100 rounds of ammunition.

The best part is that when needed, they can also control the shooting of other artillery. Under the control of the onboard central fire control system, everything is so easy, just like playing video games in later generations.

This is definitely a terrible firepower deployment. Now, 12 bombers form a dense formation. Then, in all directions, there will be countless air defense firepower. Any fighter who wants to attack them must pass through their most terrifying air defense system!

They have confidence in their planes, and now let the islanders experience despair!

In the leading first bomber, the gunner Dex observed the outside through the bubble observation window at the top.

According to the allocation, different turrets are controlled by different people. For example, the front turret on the back of the fuselage is usually controlled by the bombardier, the gunner in the rear turret, and the front and rear turrets on the abdomen are controlled by the gunners on both sides.

Among them, because the gunner is at a high position, he has a good global view of the combat situation through the top bubble observation window, and naturally becomes the highest-level gunner - the central fire control gunner.

Compared with others, his control is more complicated. For example, he can allocate turrets through the main fire control panel, such as allocating all four fuselage turrets to one side when needed, and concentrate firepower to strike the enemy.

In other words, he can mobilize all his firepower at any time.

At this time, his head was exposed, as if he was poking his head out of the roof of the car. He looked at the smoke around him. The fighter planes that escorted them had already flew out of the formation. In this case, they had to fight in advance. Although they could not intercept them all, they could at least reduce the pressure on the bomber troops.

It is too late to continue calling for support now, and it is only a few minutes away from the target. What they need is to persevere, persevere, and persist again!

Fly bravely over the target, drop the bomb, and you can return.

Now they have almost entered the bombing route. They can no longer do any maneuvering and the formation cannot be in chaos. Therefore, they can only intercept with their own self-defense machine guns!

The island-country aircraft group in front and the intercepted Mustang fighter jets had a war. Both sides churned up and down, and from time to time, planes fell down with black smoke. At the same time, a group of island-country fighter jets quickly crossed the combat airspace and came towards the American aircraft group.

The squadron leader Takahashi was flying his fighter plane and rushed over with murderous intent. In the past, there was no way to look at the American bomber. Now it's different, they can fly up easily!

The secondary supercharger was making a loud noise, the engine was roaring, and Takahashi pulled his operating lever and continued to climb, while also giving orders to his troops in the radio: "Note, one team of dive attacks, and the second team of climbs attacks!"

It is reckless to fly head-on with the bomber group. Such a shooting window is too small, and the opponent's bombing area is too small. With his orders, the aircraft behind automatically separate into two aircraft groups.

Some of the planes followed the high bridge and continued to climb upwards. After exceeding the opponent's flight altitude, they dived down. The remaining part flew at a lower altitude than the opponent, preparing to attack from below.

Now, they are flying at a height of 10,000 meters. Such movements in the past were even more than unimaginable.

Takahashi's fighter planes flew in the front. At this time, the bombers did not dodge and were still in an orderly formation, just like they were queuing up to die!

bf109, with a sharp roar, dived towards the bomber. The nose of the aircraft has already aimed at the leading bomber!

Pilot aircraft are always the most dangerous. Generally speaking, as long as the pilot aircraft is knocked down, other aircraft will flee in all directions.

Now, Takahashi leads the team to dive, and the other team attacks upwards. In the fuselage, Dex has put his eyes on the sight. His hand skillfully turns the ratchets on both sides of the sight, aiming the eyepiece at the target, adjusting the sight, and aiming at the flying fighter.
