Chapter 1,427 Fatal Blow 2
Chapter 1427 Fatal Blow 2
"Hurry up, dive, and fly level to escape! They are behind and above us!" A clever British pilot shouted loudly to his comrades next to him, while flying the plane in a shallow dive to accelerate the evacuation. At this time, it is absolutely impossible to climb. Because climbing will reduce the speed, and then send yourself to the opponent's gun muzzle, you must not do complex horizontal maneuvers, because the height here is a bit low, the maneuver will reduce the speed, and the ground terrain is complicated and easy to hit, and the Camel F1 is here In the era, the speed was still good, so they planned to rely on dive acceleration to break away from the pursuit.
However, this time, they encountered the J-3 fighter jet, which is known for its speed. This new fighter jet is equipped with a more powerful engine and can easily catch up with its opponents!
The German attacks were very rhythmic. After the first round of attacks, the German fighter jets that had lost some energy did not pursue blindly. Instead, they chose to maintain altitude and speed and then restore energy. The fleeing plane was left to another group! Several groups of German fighter jets took turns attacking British fighter jets in the air. A series of artillery shells followed the British like a shadow. Tracer bullets shuttled through the air, intertwining into a dense fire net!
Even if some British fighter jets managed to escape pursuit, their remaining fuel would definitely not be enough to fight back! After clearing the threat from the sky, more than a dozen German fighter jets and bombers began to enter low altitudes and attack the unsuspecting airport!
The first thing to be taken care of is naturally the aircraft and auxiliary vehicles located on the side of the apron. Two K-4M Tracer fighter jets use 20MM machine guns and large-caliber machine guns to suppress the few poor machine guns and 40MM guns near the British airport. The six K-6 bombers were divided into two groups to launch air strikes!
Three K-6 bombers flew quickly over the battlefield. In less than 3 seconds, as many as 30 50KG bombs fell from a height of 200 meters. Like sowing seeds, densely packed small bombs fell on the ground. Among the piled-up fighter jets and vehicles, as the planes moved, loud noises resounded throughout the airport, flames rose up one after another, and countless debris swept across the entire airport under the impact of the explosive explosion. In this area without any bunkers, planes were instantly torn into pieces by violent explosions.
What's even more tragic is that three gas trucks loaded with 700KG of highly volatile gasoline were ignited. In an instant, a huge fireball rose into the sky. This time it was much more powerful than solidified incendiary bombs. The flames were as fast as magma. Spread around. Red and bright yellow flames instantly enveloped the entire parking area. All aircraft, vehicles and equipment were ignited by the flames. Continuous explosions came from the smoke-filled battlefield. According to the memories of the German pilots present, they hovered over the airport. For 45 minutes, not a single person was seen leaving the fire...
"Today's results seem to be surprisingly good. It seems that we don't need to take action." A bomber pilot said while looking at the sea of fire that was still making explosions.
"How is that possible? There are also ground facilities in the woods over there." Another crew member said.
"But we can't see clearly."
"It doesn't matter, just use incendiary bombs to burn this forest!" the pilot responsible for dropping the bomb said easily. Therefore, in addition to the other three bombers that continued to attack the exposed runway, the remaining six bombers flew towards the ground facilities covered by the jungle.
A series of napalm bombs fell from the sky, and dazzling sparks bloomed in the jungle. The highly flammable napalm fell on the trees and easily ignited a large area of jungle and the ground facilities therein. Ten minutes later, the Germans in the sky could easily see a few trees in a completely burned forest. A tube building like a torch. As for the tents and wooden buildings next to it, they had long been reduced to ashes along with the woods!
After most of the bombers dropped their bombs, a few fighter jets continued to straf the ground with their machine guns and cannons. When the other two bombers dived again, they dropped a large number of mines onto the runway of the airport. Surrounded by mines that weigh only a few hundred grams, but are quite large in number, they are not very powerful, but they are definitely enough to break a soldier's leg. According to research by the German General Staff, after crippling a soldier, The impact on the enemy is better than killing it directly with a gun, because the latter will die when it dies, while the former needs to be taken to the rear by other soldiers, needs medical treatment, and needs pension... Another important use of these mines is to delay the British airport repair time.
In the subsequent hunting activities, the Luftwaffe used tracking and radio lateral methods to find at least six British field airports. Caught off guard, a large number of aircraft and pilots died in the sneak attacks. It must be said that, Such a sneak attack is much more efficient than a regular air battle. According to reports from the Luftwaffe, at least 85 fighter jets were destroyed on the ground during raids on six airports, resulting in at least 2,000 casualties. Even after the war, the British report admitted that in this air raid, the British fighter force lost at least 70 aircraft. The battle reports of the two sides were quite consistent!
In addition to sneak attacks, the German Air Force also conducted a trial air raid on a large British airport. However, for such airports, the British were also very strict in their precautions. They set up independent air warning posts outside the airport. And there is always a squadron or so of aircraft on standby at the airport. So if you want to make a sneak attack, in addition to your own skills, you also need to look at luck... The infrastructure and anti-aircraft firepower around the airport also made it difficult for the Bavarian Army.
These large airports are different from those temporary field airports. All ammunition, oil and other flammable and explosive items are placed deep in reinforced concrete semi-buried bunkers. There are three artillery shells in the airport and a backup runway for emergency takeoff of fighter jets. The aircraft are dispersed and there are also specialized aircraft repair shops. A large number of anti-aircraft artillery are deployed around the entire airport and at high places. There are everything from 75MM to 7.62MM machine guns. The most terrible thing is that the British also deployed some smoke-generating devices. When they discovered that German planes were coming, they had a chance to hide at least part of the planes in the smoke screen.
As a result, the Germans found that the cost of assaulting such a heavily fortified target was a bit high, and it was unrealistic to defeat the British Air Force in one fell swoop in a short period of time, so this air strike was just a hit.
