"The situation was not very good. The opponent's defense force was not completely contained. More German aircraft followed from above and behind the bomber force. There were always a certain number of fighters above the opponent's box formation, and we launched rocket attacks on the bombers.

can only lower the height and then

Climbing and following the attack will be very detrimental to our fuel and time. However, this problem is not worth mentioning compared with the opponents we faced later. The Germans really took great pains to deal with the P38 fighter jets!" Boeing!

Dun recalled the situation at that time like this.,

But at this time, as the captain of the group, Bodenton was leading his comrades through explosions and flames. They met the opponent's sneak attack in a tight formation. It was difficult for a single aircraft to pose a fatal threat to Bodenton's fleet. Carry

Heavy artillery and rockets

Like a sharp spear, the interceptor force pierced the outer layer of the German defense and rushed towards the core. Just when they were about to break up the opponent's formation with a fierce rocket salvo, the German DO335 actually launched.

Charge head on!

"I'm going?! Are these Germans crazy?" This was the first reaction Bodenton saw after seeing the oncoming German aircraft fleet! Air combat is about tactics, maneuverability and relative advantage. Faced with powerful firepower, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick.

The P38 fighter jet proves that fighting to the death is definitely not a good choice. This is like t

34. Attacking the Black Panthers head-on is equivalent to suicide when the numbers are about the same. But the other party does not seem to have this awareness. Is it because the other party is a newcomer? Or is it because of the miserable interception order. Well, no matter how many there are, let’s fight first.

Well. Since the other party is willing to fight against a rock, let's have a head-on collision!

Rockets cannot be fired. This thing is very difficult to use against fighter jets. Even if it is used against twin-engine fighter jets, it still has to be left to the opponent's bombers. It will be fired beyond the opponent's 15mm machine gun range and disrupt the opponent's formation. But it doesn't matter.

Heavy knights are confident

The three 20mm cannons on the nose are enough to smash the frontal target into pieces. The firepower of the three Hispano cannons is enough to deal with most twin-engine aircraft. The distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching, 1000 meters, 700 meters!

500 meters! Aim and fire!

Firepower like a firestorm instantly formed a dense fire net in front of the two aircraft groups. In just a few seconds, Grim was surprised to find that his wingman was hit by a huge fireball in an instant.

The cockpit, and then the body of the aircraft broke in the middle, splitting the entire aircraft into two halves! The unprecedented firepower made even Boeing tremble! "De

When did the Chinese become so ferocious?!" A terrible thought popped out of his mind. Frontal attacks are definitely the most direct and bloody. Bodenton could feel that a large piece of his formation was dented in the front in an instant.

!In the exchange of fire in less than 1 minute, at least 7 P38 fighter jets were beaten and disintegrated in the air! This shows the ferocious firepower of the opponent!

The head-on charge between the two sides was very short. After dozens of seconds, the two sides passed each other in the air. Seeing the huge figure flying over him, Boeing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. The opponent's aircraft seemed to have limited climbing performance. This is

meaning they can't regain speed by climbing quickly and then diving

, they can only circle and restart the rapid pursuit, and this period of time is usually relatively long. It is enough for Boton to lead the team to complete the rocket attack, and it is also enough for the friendly forces nearby to come to block it. Although the initial loss is a bit painful, but in

Boeing suddenly opened up, and the Germans' chance of large-scale blockade was gone.

"Boys, let those vultures have a taste of our new toy!" Boeing's timely words boosted the slightly low morale. The attack just now made some newcomers a little timid. The Germans put up a box formation to fight against the interceptors and had to withstand a huge amount of damage.

The psychological burden on the enemy's box formation led Bodenton to bear a huge psychological impact. This is almost the most dangerous air combat mission. Bodenton must ensure that his team maintains high morale at all times. Otherwise,

The consequences are disastrous.

"Fire!" After enduring the blows from German planes, Boedon's group finally rushed to a place about 800 meters away from the opponent. All P38 fighter jets began to release rocket teams. Each plane hung 24 rounds of 3-inch rockets. They would

All shot out within 10 seconds! The front of each aircraft is like a volcano erupting, and the flames when the rockets are launched cover the entire aircraft in a light! Like a swarm of bees

The general rocket team instantly filled the space in front of the German bombers. The arc composed of countless jumping light points cut across like the scythe of death. Two German He177 bombers were unable to dodge and were directly hit by several rockets.

It instantly turned into a burning fireball. The violent explosion threw countless fragments and flames around, and some fragments hit other aircraft and made crackling sounds.

After the first wave of P38 fighter jets completed the attack, they began to lurk and rush under the bomber formation, and then climbed back up to attack from the rear. The four squadrons mentioned by the Boston Group will complete this attack action respectively. The first wave of attacks will be at least

Three strategic bombers were shot down. The second wave was slightly more effective, destroying four of them directly, and another one also flew swaying. "The record is good, it seems that today is a lucky day." I looked at the overhead from time to time.

There was a violent explosion, and Boeing let out a small sigh of relief.

The moment he turned his head back, an enemy plane suddenly appeared from behind. Boedon's squadron was in an extremely dangerous situation. Three DO335s chased him at extremely high speeds. This had never happened in the original battlefield.

However, the P38 fighter jet is not the fastest.

But it is definitely not slow, and his own fleet is still in a dive state. With the addition of gravity acceleration, the P38's flying speed almost exceeds the maximum level flight speed of all fighter jets! And the opponent is almost catching up in level flight. This

It’s something even the Germans didn’t think of!

"The first time I participated in the war, I fell in love with this guy with engines at both ends! He was bulky, had poor maneuverability, and had difficulty landing. But his speed alone made up for all the shortcomings. When I flew for the first time,

Its horizontal flight speed actually reached 680 kilometers at high altitude.

Meter or more! It is 30 kilometers or more faster than the fw190a4! This speed can be described as lightning fast. As long as you pay attention to your back at all times, it is difficult for an airplane to shoot you down!" Do335 pilot Solman

Compliment your own phone like this.

And this time, Solman broke his own flight speed record. After a long-distance flight.do335

Part of the internal fuel was consumed, so it could fly beyond the normal envelope! After the two sides completed the first wave of attacks, the team led by Solman quickly turned to follow. The speed of the heavily equipped P38 fighter was already high.

Slower than the pure combat type, plus

With the load on the wing, Solman decisively caught up with a crew that was farther back in the queue. After placing the target on the crosshair, he gently pulled the trigger! The five artillery pieces sprayed out a hail of hot bullets at the same time.

, in just 3 seconds, a P38 fighter jet was smashed into pieces!

Solman was not satisfied with the results he had achieved. He set his sights on the lurking Boeing Squadron. Pushing the throttle to the bottom, feeling the vibration and huge power of the engine, the entire aircraft flew like an arrow.

Aimed at the target! Adjusted the attitude of the aircraft

In this state, he pointed the muzzle at Bodenton's wingman. The aircraft seemed to have two 30mm cannons hanging under the wings, which was the bomber's enemy. Therefore Bodenton escaped this disaster and was unprepared.

Next, Boedon's wingman had half of his wing wiped off.

"Disband the formation! Throw away all weapons and plug-ins!" Being tail-bitten by the opponent's high-speed fighter in an air battle is almost the worst situation. In this case, don't worry about the mission. Throw away all the load and run away is the best.

choice, but it is a pity that the American interceptor brigade does not even seem to have the ability to escape. All aircraft were killed after the order was given.

They threw away the load immediately. But those weird-looking aircraft were still like tarsal maggots that couldn't be shaken off no matter what! Their speed was too fast, and their attacks were too fierce. It only took a few seconds to get rid of them.

It can break any fighter into pieces! There will be no tragic situation like the bf109 aircraft that cannot be killed for a long time!

Most of the P38 interceptors had no chance to launch a second wave of attacks. They were either destroyed or driven away from the battlefield. Grimm finally brought his bomber group to the sky above Saint-Nazaire and the port below.

Factories, cargo terminals and ships in ports will all be his targets. Grim suppressed his excitement.

After taking a deep breath, he said: "Each bomber fleet launched air strikes as planned!" As the order was issued, the huge box formation began to disintegrate in the air, and the He177 bombers began to lower their altitude, and the bombardier put his eyes on

On the scope, compare it with the map and lock the target firmly on the crosshairs of the eyepiece!

As the cabin door gradually opened, rounds of high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs finally revealed their ferocious faces. They protruded from the belly of the aircraft like the claws of war eagles! As the bombing order was issued, a series of

The bombs fell from an altitude of 4,000 meters, flying to the cities on the ground with death and destruction! Each strategic bombing squadron can weigh dozens of tons

The bombs poured into the city. After the bombs landed, the circular shock wave generated by the explosion spread rapidly in all directions. The huge energy pushed back everything they could touch. The buildings that were lined up just a few minutes ago were amidst the deafening explosions.

It turned into a pile of rubble. The occasional standing ruins are the only proof that these buildings once existed.

Following closely are the incendiary bombs. These charges are filled with various combustibles and can produce high temperatures of thousands of degrees, turning the bombing area into a sea of ​​​​fire. The updraft generated by the explosion provides enough air for the incendiary bombs.

, and spread the flames to other places. The anti-aircraft guns on the ground quickly counterattacked under the command of the fire control radar.

A series of dense artillery shells exploded around the aircraft. From time to time, the unlucky He177 was hit by the American 90mm anti-aircraft gun and then fell down. However, such losses were nothing to the huge German fleet.

, they still fly forward firmly, bringing more death to the enemy!

The port was a key bombing target for the Germans. Saint-Nazaire's port facilities and shipyards, as well as various materials stacked in the cargo yard, were the key to France's persistence. In the parking lot, rows of Sherman tanks were neatly lined up.

They were placed on the front line to block the German army's front, but they were destroyed by bombs from German bombers shortly after landing. They were placed so densely that the Germans said that even a group of monkeys could throw them

Bombs can destroy them all.

Bombs fell like raindrops, and tanks were instantly restored to their parts. Some turrets were even blown into the air more than ten meters high. Tanks with armor protection were beaten like this, so like those in other warehouses.

Not to mention the supplies, the entire port area was covered in flames and thick smoke in just ten minutes. Tens of thousands of tons of various supplies were burned before they had time to take effect! The updrafts generated by the combustion even affected the

exist

A German bomber flying at an altitude of 300 meters, "I felt like my plane was like a small boat on the sea, swaying up and down. Looking at the thick smoke and flames below, my companions and I felt like we were playing too big.

We were all shocked by the effects we caused." A German pilot said with a little shame when mentioning the bombing. Even though the two sides were enemies, such bombing still left some psychological burden on many Germans.

As the attack continued, the German bombs began to target the ships that were stuck in the berths and had no time to get out. A small number of bombers carrying special bombs began to lower their altitude. After the accompanying fighter force suppressed the ground-to-air firepower, they began to attack

The berth was bombed. The huge aircraft flew quickly from a low altitude of several hundred meters, and found the right opportunity to throw out bombs similar to barrels. These bombs were thrown sideways and could fly high after touching the water.

bounce then

Flying forward like water. These bombs have limited lethality against armored ships, but for civilian ships with only hull plates, the power of bombs exploded at the waterline is no less than that of torpedoes. A ship with a heavy load

The merchant ship with a tonnage of nearly 10,000 tons was only hit by two 250kg bombs, which caused uncontrollable water intrusion on the side of the hull. It sank with thousands of tons of grain and various Spam cans. However, because the water depth was not very deep, the ship sank.

Because of this, part of the hull is still on the water.

After completing the bomb attack, the Luftwaffe continued to hover over the port like vultures with unfulfilled desires. From time to time, a plane would fly over from a low altitude and drop mines with parachutes into the waterway and offshore waters. The Germans were very well prepared.

They need to paralyze the port for a long time. Not only the ground must be completely destroyed, but also hidden piles must be buried along the coastal waterway.

"Have the Seahawks completed the attack?" Grim asked on the channel. "They haven't yet. I hope they can find a suitable target." The other party replied. "Okay, tell them that after completing the attack, they can come from the south

To Spain." Grimm hesitated and said.
Chapter completed!
