1735th chapter torpedo machine 10)

Major Sach's mistakes are unforgivable.

If he continued to climb upwards, the two planes should have stalled almost at the same time. If he could hold on for a while, maybe the fw190 below would fall first.

However, Major Sachy couldn't hold back at first. Air combat was calculated in seconds. In this fierce air combat, you must be awake enough every second. Any mistake may have catastrophic consequences.

For example now.

Major Sach, who had dived first, suddenly had a few holes in the fuselage. The 20mm shaft cannon shell suddenly tore open the pirate's fuselage, and then it started to burn.

A victory!

Alcatel was very excited, but deliberately kept calm. The war is still going on, and they want to try their best to prevent the other side's fighter planes from crossing the intercept line.

Alcatel's eyes looked towards the surrounding airspace, and soon he discovered that there were several special targets on the sparkling sea.

Want to sneak in? It's not that easy!

Alcatel pushed the operating rod, and fw190 began to dive downwards and quickly.

As Alcatel gets closer and closer, he can see clearly that they are several US Navy TBF "Avenger" torpedo attack aircraft.

In this era, using torpedoes to attack enemy warships is also a common way, and the characteristics of torpedo aircraft are also very obvious.

It requires a three-person crew cabin.

Torpedo throwing is not that simple, and requires a special person to operate and is responsible for the process. Therefore, a bomb dropper sitting in the middle needs to be added, with the pilot in front, and the gunner behind it.

The torpedo aircraft is bulky. In order to protect their own safety, like other bombers, they need a machine gunner at the tail to protect their rear hemisphere.

The current Avenger torpedo machine is the latest model, designed and produced by Grumman Company, and has just been in service.

In the chaotic air battle, the torpedo machine cleverly avoided the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield and flew low on the sea level. At this time, it could already see the terrifying fleet on the sea surface in the distance.

Everyone was shocked by the achievements of the Germans in a few years. After World War I, Germany had lost its navy, and now their navy has expanded to a terrible level.

"Prepare to throw a torpedo, target, destroyer ahead." said the commander of the torpedo plane.

Although they also want to attack the aircraft carriers in the core of the formation or the battleships in front of the formation, the commander of the torpedo planes knew in their hearts that their planes flying over at ultra-low altitudes could not fly to the core of the other party's formation.

If they want to break through the layers of interception of warships on the periphery, they will definitely be shot down halfway.

Their mission is to break open the hole and destroy the escort warships on the periphery, so that their dive bombers can approach the inner aircraft carriers and blow up the opponent's most important warships.

Although the battleships are also outside, the battleships have thick armor protection, and the same is true underwater. With just these torpedoes, it is impossible for them to cause damage to the battleships.

Kill their outer air defense destroyers!

At this moment, suddenly, the machine gunner behind shouted: "German fighter!"

In the sky, a fw190 rushed over, and the machine gunner became nervous. His eyes were fixed on the sight, and then pressed the button. The electric tail turret began to rotate. Then, he stepped on the firing device.

"Dadada." The 12.7mm machine gun roared wildly and splashed bullets into the sky. The machine gunner was too nervous and had not reached the range of the machine gun at this time, but he also played a certain role in doing so. When he discovered the tail gun, the fighter plane behind flew away.

He was driven away so easily?

This torpedo squadron has never participated in combat before. Most of the personnel on it are novice, and even the squadron leader has never experienced combat in his several years of service.

Now, seeing the opponent flying away, the squadron leader breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward, ready to throw a torpedo!

The bomb dropper in the middle is preparing quickly, setting the depth and setting the route, and then, please God bless you, the torpedo must be blown up after it is touched, and there will be no duds.

At this moment, the top of the head suddenly became dark, and the bomb dropper in the middle raised his head and shouted in horror: "There are enemy planes above the head!"

fw190, actually dived from above their heads at a nearly vertical angle. This terrible plane had a very tricky attack angle and there was no protection at all.

"Bangbang!" The shaft cannon was roaring, and with just three shots, it knocked the torpedo in the middle and exploded in the air.

When Alcatel pulled up, he saw that the remaining torpedoes had hurriedly dropped the torpedoes and began to accelerate and flee backward.

It’s okay if you throw away the torpedo? Wait for yourself to continue to finish it!

The attack just now was quite dangerous. If Alcatel pulled it up for a second, he would have close contact with the target. At the same time, it was too exciting.

Alcatel was about to rush forward and then kill one as usual. From the corner of his eyes, he swept into the sky above his head casually, and was shocked.

Just as he was chasing these torpedo planes at an extremely low altitude, several seagull wing planes had already flew over in the sky above his head, only a dozen kilometers away from his fleet!

Too dangerous!

With the pilot's eyesight, Alcatel easily saw that the planes with the wings of the seagull were different from the one just now. There were two bombs under the flat belly, which were about to be dive bombed!

The torpedo plane is at low altitude and the dive bomber is in the air, approaching from different airspaces. Although the aircraft carrier formation has released almost all the fighter planes, it is still impossible to completely withstand the US Navy fighter planes that are surging like a tide, and there will be fish that will escape the net.

All of this is planned. There are a large number of air defense warships on the periphery of the aircraft carrier formation, and those 40mm Bofos anti-aircraft guns will make them realize what the Imperial Navy's barrage protection is.

However, whenever possible, try to eliminate the other party on the outside.

So Alcatel had no choice but to give up the escaped torpedo planes, pull the operating rod, and the fighter began to climb upwards. Soon, he visually confirmed that it was of the same type as the fighter plane that he had just intercepted, a pirate fighter.

Any advanced fighter can be multifunctional. For example, fw190 can hang a bomb, which is heavier than a Stuka, or torpedo.

The Pirate Fighter is also such an advanced aircraft. It carries two 1,000-pound bombs, which is better than many light bombers.

At this time, these two pirate fighter jets were flying towards the German naval fleet with difficulty. They successfully penetrated with the help of their brothers. Now is the final stage.
