Chapter 424 Easy Ambush

"Boom!" The aluminum alloy skinned wing was blasted with a large hole, and the fuselage began to tilt to one side.

Philip in front was covered in blood. The glass in front of his cockpit had been shattered, and a piece of shrapnel had hit his chest. While enduring the pain, he pushed the lever, trying to control the plane, even if it was A forced landing can also give the two colleagues behind a chance to escape.

But when one wing was hit and the plane yawed violently, he couldn't control it any longer, and his retinas were full of fire in the last few seconds of his life.

The bomber flew towards a burning oil barrel.

"Boom!" Under the violent impact, the crude oil in the oil barrel swayed out, surrounded the entire plane, and all ignited a fire!

At this time, such scenes are being staged everywhere.

The Libyan base is what Cyric attaches the most importance to. Even if the air force cannot be dispatched to protect it temporarily, the air defense force is absolutely first-class. In addition to a large number of Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns, there are also some double-barreled 15mm anti-aircraft machine guns .

This kind of anti-aircraft machine gun is also an old gun. It was deformed from the MG151 on the plane. The double-barreled 15 mm firepower is quite ferocious!

When the "fighter" bomber was found, the machine gunner pulled the trigger, and in the sound of "da da da", gunpowder smoke came out, and 15mm machine gun bullets shot at the bomber violently!

Then, black smoke came out of the bomber and was easily injured!

"No, run!" At this moment, an accident appeared.

Due to the black smoke, these bombers flew very low, and when they ambushed them, they were almost always at a very close distance. Now, this injured bomber actually fell towards its side!

Several machine gunners ran away quickly, and just ran out a dozen meters away when they heard the sound of an explosion behind them.

That bomber just fell at the location of the machine gun just now! When it came into contact with the ground, a big explosion occurred, and a rolling fireball shrouded the machine gun position just now.

If it wasn't for the fast legs, they'd probably already be there!

The "fighter" bomber was an indicator raised behind closed doors in the UK, a light and fast bomber, and this bloody lesson showed the British that this type of bomber was outdated.

The survivability of "combat" is quite poor, and the idea of ​​using the speed advantage to get rid of enemy fighters is completely shattered.

Due to the lack of effective armor protection in the crew cockpit. , the "battle" is especially vulnerable to blows from below.

The "combat" bombers that entered the thick smoke at ultra-low altitude did not come back, and they were completely destroyed!

In fact, in later generations, this bomber will not have any good days.

Forty years in history, when the German blitzkrieg against Western Europe began, 32 "Battles" were ordered to rush to form an attack wave of the RAF, stagnating the moving German forces in Luxembourg.

They attacked German targets with delayed fuze bombs from an ultra-low altitude of 76 meters. Unfortunately, the Germans shot down 13 "battles" in one fell swoop with only intensive small arms fire, and the rest of the aircraft were injured to varying degrees.

The fate of the second attack wave of the "battle" that afternoon was equally bad, with 10 of the 32 aircraft being shot down by combined German artillery and fighter jets.

On the same day, both "Battles" were shot down while attacking the Germans in the Netherlands. All this is just the beginning.

Sadly, the British found that their bombers were not suitable for war at all.

If you want to attack the ground at low altitudes, you must have heavy armor, develop flying tanks like Il-2, HS-129, or solve it with dive bombing like Stuka.

As for the light fast bomber, that's definitely for fun!

The main light and fast bomber of the British Air Force in Egypt was buried in the thick smoke, and the 47th Bomber Squadron, which was hovering in the air, had found that it was not good.

When the light bomber got under the black smoke, there was a thorn in the radio, which was strongly disturbed! Not only were they unable to communicate with the plane below, but communication between them was difficult.

And when the Blenheim bomber circled the area of ​​thick smoke, they found that this area was also too large, far exceeding the area of ​​the oil field itself several times.

At this time, Squadron Captain Stoke already knew that the situation was not good, and there was a problem below!

How to do? Continue to bomb?

No, it's weird here and there, it's better to return first!

Stoke circled around the thick smoke area twice, but still couldn't wait for the "fighter" bomber below, he had already decided not to wait any longer, or to return first and wait for the intelligence of the intelligence system!

However, the radio was no longer sensitive, so he had to shake his wings to remind the bombers behind him to follow his actions!

The origin of the Blenheim bomber is very special, and it is not the same as other bombers.

In 1934, the owner of the Daily Mail, Sir Rothermere, wanted Bristol to design a plane capable of carrying six passengers and two crew members. Used to surpass various record-breaking high-speed aircraft such as the German Henkel He70.

This aircraft flew for the first time in 35 years, and immediately showed excellent performance, especially in terms of speed performance, it was able to achieve an astonishing record of 498km/h.

Therefore, Sir Rothermere proposed to the British Air Force that the aircraft should be used for military purposes. In this way, the British light twin-engine bomber with good performance before World War II was born.

It was a three-man bomber, with the pilot sitting on the nose, the navigator and bomber sitting in the nose, and at the back, a bubble cockpit was added to accommodate a gunner with omnidirectional visibility.

Usually, of course, the Gunners are backwards, taking care of their own rear hemisphere.

At this moment, Alan, the gunner who was sitting in the cockpit of the bubble, was staring at the clear sky in the sky with boredom, and then his eyes suddenly widened.

A silvery bright spot, swooping down from the sky quickly!

It must be an enemy plane, and there is no fighter jet to escort it!

In the field of vision, the plane was flying fast, and he was surprised to see that this plane had no propeller!

At this time, he was so surprised that he didn't sound the alarm at all, and he didn't operate his twin-mounted 7.7mm machine gun. In his mind, there was only one thought, no propeller, what kind of monster was that plane? ? Is it from aliens?
