() "Each type of anti-aircraft gun has its own fixed characteristics, such as size, range, range, rate of fire, etc. These characteristics will affect their range of use and deployment location. Therefore, attacking a fixed

When targeting a target, the suitable locations for deploying anti-aircraft artillery around the target are actually limited.

Yes, during the mission preparation stage, you should be well aware of these potentially dangerous positions. As for the target of the activity, it is even simpler. Whether it is a convoy or a military column, in order to pursue a better shooting range, it is suitable to arrange anti-aircraft firepower

The positions are even more limited, and the Germans usually deploy in several ways..."

The students all sat in their seats and took notes seriously. Two days later, they will face a small test - a simulated assault on a preset position. Before that, they must prepare carefully.

"General, don't worry, you can definitely give those guys a good look!" Rodman, the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery unit, said to Ron, "I'm afraid I'll beat them too badly and lose their confidence."

"I'm not worried about this anymore." Ron also smiled, "The war has been going on for so long, and even ordinary people's ability to bear losses has increased a lot. What's more, not all of our students are

Among the novices, half of them are veteran pilots. Although they are not familiar with direct fire support to the ground, their mental state will definitely be able to withstand such a failure. With them here, the novices will not have much trouble.

question."

As Ron spoke, he looked around. A little further ahead, several soldiers were busy fixing some branches to the barrel of a twin-mounted 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun.

"This disguise is not good enough!" Ron shook his head, "Even a rookie can probably spot it... Well, no, your cannon is fake!"

Rodman laughed heartily: "General, you see, if you are not careful, even you may be deceived, let alone those guys?"

"Your carpenters are pretty good, and they made the work look very similar!" Ron also smiled. "Looking at this thing from the sky, it would be impossible to tell that it is fake. If those soldiers hadn't touched the barrel just now, it started to shake.

, I have to get closer to realize it.”

"I also have rougher fake cannons on hand, the kind that experienced pilots can probably see at low altitude. In the subsequent drills, I plan to place them in a more conspicuous place and then put them inside

Hide a few real guys who are cheating and trick them to death!"

"You mean those balloon cannons? The Germans don't seem to have those. Their false targets are all made of wood."

"Since we want to make a high imitation, we should imitate it like it. Don't worry, it's not a balloon cannon, it's a crude wooden product. Speaking of German wooden products, I remember a joke. I wonder if you have heard of it, General."

"Tell me about it?"

"I heard this from a British guy: The Germans built a fake airport in France. The towers, hangars, planes, etc. were all made of wood. The British discovered it when they were doing it.

, so the British kept staring at them. When the 'airport' was completed, the British sent a wooden plane - a mosquito bomber over and dropped... General, what do you think the British dropped?

bomb?"

"Incendiary bombs?" Ron asked, "Such a guy can make this fake airport useless in no time."

"No... it's really not..." Rodman couldn't help laughing, "They... those British guys dropped one... one... extra-large wooden bomb!"

…

"The day after tomorrow we will go on a mission to attack simulated targets. The instructors will definitely give us a warning." In the war room, Arthur was discussing the mission the day after tomorrow with a group of pilots. "Last time I went to the 'Inverse Cross'

'When I came, I went to heaven for the first time, and I was completely fooled by the instructors. And this was the result of the instructors' caution. God bless, when the lot is drawn, you must not get the first pick... Okay

, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s look at the map first.”

Among the six pilots in this group, Arthur is the oldest, has experienced the most combat, and is the most experienced. Therefore, it is logical that he becomes the leader of this group.

"Arthur, first mark out where you think the anti-aircraft guns are most likely to be deployed, and then we can discuss it together." The person who spoke was Toldo, who was second only to Arthur in seniority in the team.

"Okay!" Arthur nodded obediently, then lowered his head to study the map.

…

Arthur was sitting in the cockpit of a modified version of P-47. Behind him, there were five similar aircraft following him. The target was located near a small forest. The dense forest was on a flat land, so

, according to Arthur's judgment, there will be no anti-aircraft gun fire points in the woods, because the surrounding big trees will block the firing range. But it is hard to say at the edge of the woods. The possibility of hiding a few cannons there is quite high.

Arthur chose a route that was more difficult to attack. He planned to dive from a higher altitude to the sky above the woods, then level off, and at the same time use the high speed brought by the dive to attack the target. This would not only avoid the enemies that might be deployed at the edge of the woods.

Small-caliber anti-aircraft guns can also avoid as much as possible the locations where Arthur thinks anti-aircraft firepower is most likely to be deployed. At the same time, high-speed assaults leave a very short window for counterattacks. Arthur thinks that this

The safety factor is the highest, but of course the attack effect may be greatly reduced, because the attack time will be much shorter. In order to achieve the maximum assault effect in a short time, Arthur and his plane were loaded with 12 rockets and two rockets.

A 500-pound aerial bomb. According to Arthur's idea, he would throw out all the rocket bombs regardless of the first assault. No matter what, he could always hit some targets?

Now, Arthur's fleet has flown over the woods, and his altitude is now 3,000 meters. At this altitude, small-caliber anti-aircraft guns pose little threat to him, so of course the opponent will not fire blindly. The entire target area

It was all quiet, no movement at all.

"Start attacking!" Arthur issued the command, then rolled and entered the dive first. At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

In the woods below, with certain points as the center, the surrounding big trees quickly fell down in radiating directions. From the air, it looked like lotus flowers slowly opening their petals, revealing their

Stamen - several quadruple Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns!

"Damn it, I fell into a trap!" Blood rushed to Arthur's forehead. He knew very well how powerful the four-unit 40mm anti-aircraft gun was. This guy has a high rate of fire, good ballistic performance, high accuracy, and great power.

.If you want to rank the anti-aircraft guns that appeared in World War II, the best large-caliber anti-aircraft gun is of course the 127mm anti-aircraft gun with radio fuse of the US military; and the best small and medium-caliber anti-aircraft gun is undoubtedly the Bofors 40mm

Anti-aircraft gun. Because of its excellent performance, you can see it whether in the Allies or the Axis Powers, whether it is the United Kingdom, the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany and Italy. In the South Pacific, he saw it more than once

, a single salvo of this thing directly shattered a Japanese aircraft into pieces. Although his P-47 has been modified and is much stronger than the original, if it is hit by the Bofors 40 anti-aircraft gun, it will still be able to survive.

Unable to live.

Almost without hesitation, Arthur threw out all the rockets and bombs to reduce the weight of the aircraft. At the same time, he quickly performed a downward barrel roll and leveled off at low altitude. This series of actions was done so decisively

As for the speed, Arthur was sure that no anti-aircraft gun could hit him in the process.

He leveled the plane at a height of less than 50 meters from the treetops. At this height, the range of fire obtained by the anti-aircraft guns just by knocking down all the surrounding trees could no longer reach him, so Arthur

It was safe again. But Arthur's companions did not react so quickly. Now the eight Bofors anti-aircraft guns below had begun to fire. They raised their heads and saw that their companions were hanging heavy ammunition.

As he tried his best to dodge, Arthur knew that they were probably in danger.

"Throw away the ammunition quickly! Rush to a very low altitude!" Arthur shouted on the radio.

So several planes began to throw away their ammunition in a hurry and dodge towards ultra-low altitude airspace...

…

To say that the efficiency of the 'Inverse Cross' is much higher now than when it was first built, Arthur and his team's results were read that afternoon. According to the records of the camera gun, the result was that after falling into the trap

In just a few dozen seconds, Arthur and the others lost 6 aircraft.

4 of the planes. Except for Arthur and Toldo, all other fighters were judged to have been shot down! And Arthur and Toldo threw away all external ammunition when avoiding the fire of anti-aircraft guns, so they

The attack capability has also been greatly reduced, and the attack mission will naturally be unable to be completed.

Although Arthur's team suffered a huge defeat in this exam, Arthur was not too depressed. First, wasn't it normal to be abused in the first quiz of "Reverse Cross"? If even the students were

If he can't abuse him, then why should the "Reverse Cross" do it? Secondly, even if the "Reverse Cross" sets such a trap, even if he falls into the trap, not only will he escape unscathed

He ran out without any injuries, and also brought out Toldo who was following him. If it weren't for him and fell into such a trap, Toldo would probably be dead. So, he is proud. What?

Do you think he was the one who led the brothers into the trap? This... This really doesn't blame Arthur for being incompetent, it's because the guys from the "Reverse Cross" are too cunning!

However, to Arthur's expectation, Arthur was still severely criticized.

"Do you know why you fell into the trap?" The instructor in charge of the summary started with this sentence, "Because everyone knows that you will choose the route with the least risk. In order to reduce the risk, you don't care at all whether you can hit the target!"

"This is slander!" Arthur was angry.

"In fact, if you have enough attack spirit, you will not be without the ability to fight back after being ambushed." The instructor said coldly, "You also have two aircraft and four 37mm cannons for assault planning.

The target may be too risky to be worth it. But what about the eight 40-mm anti-aircraft guns exposed in the woods? Their range of fire is severely restricted. You have every chance to knock them all out. But what about you? Just leave.
Chapter completed!
