Chapter 752: 752 shouts of excitement
Chapter 752752Excited shouts
Facts have proved that it is better to rely on yourself than relying on others. It is unrealistic to expect those Dahua 1 fighter jets that are far away. Facing the Tang Army's fighter jets, only by fighting to the end can there be a chance of survival.
The machine gunners on the plane used their crude machine gun sights to aim in vain at the Tang Army Butcher fighter jets that were coming and going like the wind. The roar of the engines echoed in their ears, even suppressing their nervous heartbeats.
After emptying a magazine, the machine gunner nervously began to reload his machine gun. As they worked hard to load bullets into the machine gun, they could only watch as another bomber was shot into pieces in the air. Two pieces.
The fuselage made of wood has no way to withstand the destruction of the 20mm caliber cannon. Just one short attack caused a seemingly huge bomber to shatter in the sky.
On the Dahua Empire’s bombers, the machine gunners do not have parachutes. Although Tang Jun’s tutorial states that parachutes are standard equipment for all pilots, the Dahua Empire does not believe that the self-defense machine gun operator on the aircraft is worthy of being equipped with an expensive parachute bag.
They are all consumables anyway. These machine gunners are no more noble than tank drivers, so their life and death can only be left to fate.
One theory is that if these machine gunners are equipped with parachutes, they will not cherish their aircraft and will choose to escape at critical moments.
So the Dahua Empire tied the lives of these machine gunners to the aircraft, making them cherish their chances of survival, better protect the aircraft, and be willing to fight until the last moment.
In short, no matter what **** theory it is, the machine gunners on the Dahua Empire aircraft do not have parachutes. They can only live and die with the aircraft. This is the cruel reality.
While he inserted the drum drum above the machine gun with trembling hands and completed loading, the downed bomber in the distance was already circling and falling to the ground.
The wing, which was no different from paper, was pierced by the cannonball, and then cruelly torn into pieces by the airflow. Finally, it disintegrated in the air and disappeared from sight. This scene was like a nightmare. I kept seeing this scene. repeated in the machine gunner's mind.
The tank at least has a layer of steel plate that can protect the crew inside and give them a little sense of security. It takes a lot of courage to fight with a mosquito net made of wooden boards and canvas at an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters.
Finally, he pulled the gun and heard a click. The machine gun shooter finally gained a little more courage.
He searched the sky nervously, looking for the enemy plane with the golden dragon emblem painted on its wings. He didn't know where the other party was, and all he could hear was the sound of the engine and the howling of the wind.
Leaning out, he tried to look at his feet, but was unexpectedly frightened by a row of bullets coming towards him and broke into a cold sweat.
The bullet hit his side, leaving a row of holes in the wooden fuselage. Fortunately, his plane did not shatter, and a row of bullet holes also avoided his lower body, which was still sitting in the plane.
This is the bullet hole made by the self-defense machine gun fire from the friendly aircraft, which almost scared him so much that he peed his pants. He carefully checked his lower body and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no hole spurting blood.
The pilot flying the plane in front of him had been swearing for a long time. Apparently he also felt the deep malice from the friendly aircraft on the side.
“Assholes! These blind fools!” The pilot kept venting his emotions while checking his body.
"Are you blind? Damn it!" After finding out that he was fine, the machine gunner who was almost killed by friendly bullets also cursed at the friendly aircraft flying in the distance at the top of his lungs.
I couldn’t hear clearly what the other party was shouting. I could only see the other party’s machine gunner waving his arms, as if he was showing off his power or apologizing.
They didn’t know what the other party was saying anyway, and the other party seemed unable to hear their swear words. Both sides were making gestures, but it was obvious that their communication had almost no effect.
"Damn it! I have no idea what he's talking about!" The machine gunner pointed to the bullet holes in his plane with his finger, indicating to the other party that he was frightened.
The other party continued to swing his arms, as if to explain that he did not deliberately shoot his own people with a machine gun.
"You should use machine guns to sweep them over! Let them feel what we feel!" The pilot turned around and shouted loudly, encouraging his machine gunners.
Of course, just listen to this kind of thing. If you are lucky enough to fly back, the machine gunner who did this will probably be shot directly - the pilot is the most valuable, not the consumables they use to operate the machine gun.
It takes a lot of time to train a pilot. A machine gunner only needs to be tied to a rotating chair and rotated dozens of times without vomiting, and then he can be tied to the plane and join the battle...
“If I meet this guy on the ground, I will definitely punch all his teeth into his stomach!” The machine gunner waved his arms, signaling in his own way that the other party had better be careful.
As for whether the other party can understand his gestures, only Yun Cai knows: anyway, he can't understand the other party's gestures, but he insists that his own gestures can be understood by the other party.
The machine gunner on the back of the bomber not far away was still gesticulating, as if he wanted to continue arguing with his comrades here.
But just as he continued to make various gestures with his two arms, a row of tracer bullets passed through the fuselage of the bomber he was on.
This time it is not the machine gun bullets fired from the small water pipe, this time it is the deadly ammunition swept out by the 20mm caliber cannon on the Butcher fighter jet.
The thick warhead shattered the wooden fuselage into pieces. The shell instantly passed through the machine gunner who was still raising his hands to gesture. One of his arms instantly separated from his body and flew away in a **** mist. in the air.
The next second, the bomber that was hit from below by the Butcher fighter broke apart from where the gunner was. The mangled body of the gunner flew out of the cabin and floated backwards together with the rear half of the fuselage, and was gone. trace.
The Dahua machine gunner was startled and did not dare to move for a long time. It was not until the Butcher fighter jet rushing up from below rushed into his field of vision that he realized that the battle was still going on.
The bomber flying beside them only had its front half left. It lost its tail and did not crash immediately, but dropped smoothly.
The machine gunner on the front of the plane turned around and was shouting something loudly to the pilot flying the plane, but no one could hear his voice clearly.
"If you don't want to die, fire quickly!" Seeing that his machine gunner had forgotten to fire like a fool, the pilot on the bomber turned around and reminded loudly: "Be careful not to shoot flatly! It's easy to hit one of your own!"
"I, I know!" The machine gunner, who had been frightened for a long time, felt that his leather gloves were full of sweat. The altitude of 4,000 meters seemed to be no longer cold. He was so hot that he wanted to drink some water. Moisten your throat.
But he had no time to grab the kettle at his waist, because a Butcher fighter jet drew a circle overhead and began a violent dive.
With the roar of an engine that seemed to tear the air apart, the Butcher fighter jet closed the distance between it and the Dahua bomber group at extremely fast speeds.
From the perspective of the Dahua machine gunner, the Butcher was rushing towards the plane he was on, so he subconsciously aimed his machine gun at this extremely threatening target.
"Ah!" He didn't know whether he was trying to intimidate his opponent or emboldening himself. He roared loudly while pulling the trigger. The machine gun in front of him also spit out tongues of flame and roared: "Chug, chu, chu, chu!"
Unfortunately, there was a serious problem with his judgment. The Butcher fighter jet that seemed to be swooping down towards him suddenly rolled halfway and deviated from its original route.
Several tracer bullets flew into the distance, but did not touch any target. The swooping Butcher fighter jet floated away after tearing apart another Dahua bomber in the distance. It was hopelessly dexterous.
Although they don’t know how many planes have been shot down on their side, all Dahua pilots know that their losses must be considerable.
Even though there seemed to be only a few Tang Army aircraft in the sky, the opponent's attack efficiency was frighteningly high, and the damage effect of the cannons on the bombers was really despairing.
It seems that the opponent has made a series of optimizations for attacking large targets from the beginning. The opponent's fighter jets seem to be tailor-made to deal with large bombers from the time they were designed.
Regrettably, although the bombers of the Dahua Empire are equipped with machine guns for self-defense, they were not a mature design from the beginning.
It only has two machine gun positions on the nose and spine. The two machine guns for self-defense cannot cover the surroundings of the aircraft at all. In other words, the bombers of the Dahua Empire are full of weaknesses.
This is completely different from the B-17 bomber of the World War II era. The number of self-defense weapons on the B-17 bomber is frightening, and it can be said that it covers the bomber at 360 degrees without blind spots. Fighters need to be very careful when attacking the B-17, because if they are not careful, they will be shot down by the self-defense weapons on the bomber.
However, the bombers of the Dahua Empire only have two self-defense machine guns, and their self-defense capabilities are almost zero in front of the Butcher fighter jets.
As long as the angle is chosen correctly, the Butcher fighter jet can easily cut into the attack route, fire calmly from a safe place, and easily tear apart the Dahua Empire bomber that looks huge but has no armor protection at all.
One bomber after another fell from the sky, and everyone could see it clearly. Even if they didn't see everything, the wreckage of the planes that fell to the ground dragging thick smoke proved to everyone the losses of this bombing mission.
Although it sounds like this air battle has been going on for a long time, in fact the battle only lasted a short time.
No one knows whether they still have hope of flying over the target, and no one knows whether they have a chance to return to the Dahua Empire. Just when everyone began to despair, suddenly a different plane entered the battle circle.
This plane bit a Butcher fighter jet that had just dived down, trying to cut in from the tail and shoot down the arrogant Tang Army plane.
The bitten Butcher fighter began to shake left and right, trying to shake off the opponent biting its tail. Another Butcher fighter followed closely behind and bit the Dahua Empire fighter.
"Thud, tug, tug!" Knowing that they had lost the opportunity, the Dahua Empire fighter jets were unwilling to fire a row of tracer bullets, and then quickly got rid of it and gave up their advantageous position.
After the Tang Army's wingman protected his lead aircraft from danger, he immediately pulled out and made a large circle in the sky to find his target again.
“Come on!” Seeing his fighter jet appear, the machine gunner on the bomber waved his arms again and shouted wildly, unable to hide his excitement.
After seeing their **** fighters arriving, the bomber pilots of the Great China Empire also cheered.
The suppressed emotions were instantly released, and with the roar of more engines, the morale of the Dahua Empire Air Force seemed to be revived.
"Buzz...woo..." This time, the diving Butcher fighter jet did not have a safe chance to attack. It quickly pulled up after the dive, and was almost bitten by the Dahua 1 fighter jet that came to drive it away.
Although the performance of the fighter jets of the Dahua Empire is still not as good as the Butcher equipped by the Tang Army, the gap is no longer so obvious.
It is also a low-wing fighter, but its speed is less than 100 kilometers less... Although it does not have a closed cockpit, its hovering ability seems to be better. Although the Dahua 1 fighter jet is still lagging behind in terms of high altitude and high speed, it actually does not suffer much when fighting at an altitude of 3,000 meters.
The Tang Army fighter pilots seemed to have discovered this. After their high-speed dive attempt to attack failed, they immediately climbed away at high speed and did not stay in a useless fight with the Dahua Empire's fighter pilots.
Relying on its own power advantage, the Tang Army's aircraft maneuvered vertically. After getting rid of their opponents, they began to reorganize their attack.
However, these Tang Army fighter jets soon discovered that it seemed that their opponent's fighter jets... were a little too many!
At an altitude of about 4,500 meters, there are still some Dahua 1 fighter jets waiting for the opportunity to take action. They did not blend into their own bomber formations, but stood alone, looking for opportunities to take action.
Soon, they found this opportunity. When the Tang army's fighter jets failed to attack and pulled up, they started their own attack.
Completely different from the two-plane formation used by the Tang Army, the Dahua Empire's fighter pilots used a five-plane formation. Although this clumsy formation limited the maneuverability of the aircraft, it emphasized frontal firepower.
Relying on their numerical advantage, the pilots of the Dahua Empire joined the battle one after another, making the chaotic air battle even more chaotic.
The Dahua 1 fighter jet is a new weapon within the Dahua Empire Air Force. Those who are qualified to fly this aircraft are carefully selected outstanding pilots.
Compared to ordinary pilots, they have better skills and more flexible minds. There are even many pilots who have the experience of taking to the air to fight against Tang Army aircraft.
After these pilots failed to succeed in the attack, they immediately broke into pieces and began to take advantage of the small circling radius to disrupt the formation of the Tang Army's fighter jets, creating more attack opportunities for their companions.
The Tang Army pilots encountered so many Dahua 1 fighter jets for the first time and were not used to it for a while. They were originally intended to intercept the Dahua bombers, but they were forced to get entangled with the Dahua Empire's fighter jets and immediately became confused.
"Buzz..." In the sky, the noise from the dive of the aircraft was sharp and harsh. A Butcher fighter jet of the Tang Army rolled to avoid the Dahua 1 fighter jets that kept strafing behind it. The two planes chased each other and crossed the entire Dahua bomber. The top of the formation.
Another Butcher fighter cut in from the side and was forced to change course by two other Dahua 1 fighter jets before it started to attack.
Compared to the fighter jets of the Tang Army, the Dahua Empire had too many fighter jets, so much so that the fighter pilots of the Tang Army began to feel a little confused.
"You bastard, suffer death!" Seeing a Butcher fighter jet in the distance making a big circle and getting rid of the Dahua fighter jets that were chasing it, the Dahua machine gunner who had just been frightened shouted and pointed his machine gun at it. Got that Butcher fighter jet.
This time he did not fire blindly, but waited and carefully observed the flight path of the Butcher fighter jet.
Although this was his first time participating in a battle, he felt that he was still very talented in fighting. At least he was summarizing the patterns and taking aim in a very targeted manner.
After determining the flight path of the Butcher fighter jet, he carefully estimated the lead time. This is the pattern he found.
The opponent's fighter jets are accelerating all the time. If they don't fire in advance, the bullets will only leave a trail of trajectories where the enemy planes fly, and will not be able to hit the opponent at all.
Only by firing in advance and roughly estimating where the enemy plane will pass can you have a chance to shoot down the opponent! Thinking of this, he moved the muzzle of his gun a little further.
The other party had no idea that there was a machine gunner aiming at him in such a corner. Therefore, after getting rid of Dahua's fighter jets, he did not make any drastic maneuvers immediately.
This gives the Dahua machine gunner an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The machine gunner pulled the trigger in advance and fired the remaining bullets in the drum as if aimlessly.
A row of tracer bullets pierced the air, covering a sky that seemed to be empty of anything. But the next second, something wonderful happened: a Butcher fighter jet suddenly rushed into the airspace, as if it had hit the row of flying bullets.
Soon the engine of the Butcher fighter jet began to smoke. The aircraft stopped climbing and began to drop in altitude. Trailing a long line of black smoke, it gradually broke away from the battle circle and staggered towards the ground in the distance. .
"I shot it down! Hahahaha! I hit it!" Seeing his tracer bullet hitting the Butcher fighter jet, the Dahua machine gunner who had made a contribution raised his hands and shouted loudly, appreciating his bravery just now. Show non-stop celebration.
On another Dahua bomber in the distance, the Dahua pilot who also saw the downing of the Butcher fighter jet was also waving his arms. He seemed to be very happy about the enemy's fall.
"Oh! I won! I hit him! He's finished!" The Dahua machine gunner got carried away. If it weren't for the safety belt around his waist, he probably would have jumped out of the plane.
“You shot down an enemy plane?” The pilot operating the plane in front of him did not see the result, but when he heard the shouts behind him, he turned around excitedly.
"Yes! I hit him! I hit him!" the machine gunner kept shouting, as if he had just killed the king of Tang.
While shouting, he stuck his head out and looked down at the Butcher fighter jet that was dragging thick smoke down, as if to confirm his victory.
He saw the Butcher fighter jet that had lowered its height a lot and crashed to the ground. He saw the cockpit cover of the Butcher fighter jet being opened. A Tang pilot jumped out of the cabin, and then a white parachute bloomed. Like a little flower.
The flight trajectory of the out-of-control Butcher fighter jet was completely messed up within a few seconds. Soon it hit the ground and disappeared.
The parachute soon disappeared. After the Butcher fighter jet crashed, all the Tang Army fighter jets on the battlefield seemed to have disappeared.
Everyone was cheering. They repelled the Tang army's interception. Although the battle suffered heavy losses, it seemed that they, Dahua, had won.
The Tang Butcher fighter jets that had escaped from the battle circle relied on their own speed to follow the flanks of the Dahua bomber formation. They no longer approached easily, but followed from a distance, as if discussing countermeasures.
Their number is really too small, too small to tear through the defense of the Dahua Empire's fighter jets. On the side of the Dahua bomber formation, the gunner who was still excited about having just shot down an enemy plane was still cheering. He felt that it was his heroic performance that repelled the Tang Army fighter jets.
But the next second, his shouting stopped abruptly - because he saw a dark mass approaching them near the clouds in the distance.
"Damn..." The bomber pilot also saw the dark cloud in the distance. He muttered, his tone full of despair.
The joy of victory suddenly disappeared. It was only now that he realized that what he had been fighting with just now was actually just a dozen Tang Army's Butcher fighter jets.
They fought for a long time and thought they had won, but they only shot down a Tang Army's Butcher fighter jet.
Now... at least 50 Tang Army's Butcher fighter jets were lying in front of them, pressing down on their aircraft formation like a dark cloud.
"Pay attention to the altitude! The enemy has an **** fighter! Don't fight... The first group will open the gap, and the second group will attack!" In the breathing mask, the frontline commander's voice carried weak electromagnetic interference and reached all the Butcher fighter pilots in the ears.
"Disperse! Attack freely! Shoot down all targets!" The next second, after hearing the order, the Tang Army fighter jets began to climb, and the roar of their engines resounded through the sky.
