Chapter 1387 Midfield 2
"Let's kill those two-engine planes and four-engine planes first. Let's hand over the J-3 fighter jets, little guys." The targets of fighter jets are bombers that have not dropped bombs, and the targets of our own fighter jets are naturally the opponent's powerful ones. Interceptor aircraft, the Russian single-engine aircraft have very weak firepower and are almost difficult to shoot down as long as the German pilots are not particularly unlucky. So in this airspace, the biggest threat is naturally those twin-engine aircraft. !
"As stupid as a duck with one wing!" When the Red Baron and an almost stunt Ilya bomber passed each other, two 20MM machine guns and three 12.7MM machine guns took less than 5 seconds. In no time, he turned the opponent into a burning fireball. After destroying the first target, Richthofen leveled the plane lightly, then accelerated away, directly throwing away the two guys who were trying to bite the tail behind him! Then climb back up in a safe place, and after taking advantage of the height, choose your opponent again, dive, attack, and drag away, all in one go! In an instant, a Newport-12 aircraft was shattered into pieces again.
The entire air combat phase has become without any suspense. The Russian Air Force, which has been beaten several times by the Bavarian Air Force, can no longer find a few pilots with combat experience. A group of pilots with only twenty or even a dozen flying hours can at most. Even if you can fly the plane into the sky and then land smoothly, how about killing your opponent? Come on, they don’t even know how to save their lives! This gap in personnel quality is even more fatal than the Russians' lack of enough aircraft! After all, pilots are different from infantry. The former needs high-quality talents, not those reckless men who can charge up with a rifle!
The planes of both sides kept circling and chasing each other in the sky, and the bullets made a trail in the air. Chasing each other's goals. In this battle, Luftwaffe pilots no longer deliberately pursued hovering and tail-biting. Because they found that this tactic of relying on horizontal maneuvering was detrimental to their own side.
"Horizontal maneuvering depends heavily on wing loading. Lower wing loading means the more flexible you can turn and hover. And relative to the aircraft you are using, the weight of the new J-3 aircraft has increased, and the weight of the new J-3 aircraft has increased. The wing area has not increased, so the wing load has increased linearly, which has caused the aircraft's horizontal maneuvering to deteriorate. If you are still using the old fighting method at this time, then I can only say, good luck to you."
"Our biggest advantage lies in speed and climb. The more powerful engine allows us to fly about 50% higher than the Russians! If you find that the Russians are coming around behind you, then well, just open the throttle valve and then fly Flying in a straight line at the highest speed can take care of your opponent. Then, climb up, look for targets in the high altitude, and find a suitable opportunity to launch a dive and raid. If you can kill the best, it doesn't matter if you can't. Just do it again. In short, we Remember, your aircraft either has a height advantage or a speed advantage. In short, you cannot let yourself fall into a low altitude and low speed state! Because you are the most vulnerable at that time!"
When every Bavarian pilot enters a battle, their commander will repeat the above sentence,
To remind them to abandon their somewhat outdated tactics.
And these advices are still useful at present, because the Russians have discovered that they can hardly catch their opponents! "German aircraft generally hover at an altitude of more than 3,500 meters and will dive and attack when they find an opportunity. They will never tangle with us. Even if they can occasionally bite them, they will kill them before they enter our range. Escape." The Russian said of his opponent.
Generally speaking, the scale of the Russian Air Force's dispatch this time was somewhat beyond the Bavarian Air Force's expectations. There were always some Russian fighter jets that overcame the interception and flew towards the bomber groups waiting on the edge of the battlefield! They rushed over like hungry wolves who had discovered their prey, and their machine guns gleaming coldly under the sunlight were like the claws of a pack of wolves, ready to tear each other into pieces at any time. However, when they got closer, they discovered that the opponents in front of them were not a flock of sheep, but a group of dinosaurs!
How could the K-6 bomber, which was designed with self-defense firepower based on the strength of the British and French air forces on the Western Front, be easily killed by the Russians? The century bomber is divided into three rows vertically: upper, middle and lower, while horizontally, it is a diagonal line. The entire aircraft is protected by three-dimensional self-defense firepower. A surprise attack from any direction will be violently fired by several aircraft and more than a dozen machine guns. In this era when fighter jets do not have enough armor and their firepower is dominated by ordinary heavy machine guns, If you want to forcefully tear apart such a defense system, you can only say that luck is more important than strength...
When the Russian aircraft fleet approached, the roar of hundreds of machine guns resounded through the sky. Every second, more than four-digit bullet ratios were sprayed into the sky to form three-dimensional webs of fire. The Russian aircraft seemed to be filled with spider webs. It was like walking through a cave, and they would be bitten by bullets with the smell of death if they were not careful. They struggled to fly, watching their teammates beside them be torn into pieces in the blink of an eye, and watching the oncoming bullets destroy the aircraft. Together with himself turning into a ball of flame, life and memory were frozen at this moment. The huge group of German bombers flew in the sky in neat formations, as leisurely as a giant in his own back garden.
"The performance of the Russian Air Force is not even as good as their Army. In the air attack on the Russian Baltic Fleet, it can be seen that the Russians are doing their best to ensure the safety of their fleet, but it has to be said that their Air Force did not cause any harm to us. The threat, in addition to increasing casualties, only consumed some of our ammunition. From now on, I can responsibly say that the skies on the Eastern Front have become the skies of the Allies." In Harrell's battle report, The Bavarian air force major general wrote sarcastically.
"It seems that the Air Force guys have solved most of the problems, and Admiral Hipper may be dissatisfied with their countrymen's approach." At this time, Rear Admiral Hopmann's light cruiser detachment had arrived on the battlefield. Looking at the sea that had turned into a pot of porridge and the fleeing Russian fleet in the distance, the High Seas Fleet rear admiral quickly made a judgment on the entire situation.
"Perhaps, in the end, all that will be left to His Majesty the Admiral are some destroyers. The brothers in the sky ate the meat and left us with a pile of leftovers." An officer next to him said with some dissatisfaction.
