Jagged Germany - Chapter 1707
“Quick, quick! The Germans are coming, all fighter jets are taking off to fight! Ground anti-aircraft fire is ready, the Germans will definitely bomb our airport.” At an airport of the U.S. Army Air Corps, the airport commander was anxious on the radio. The command.
One after another, the P-47 fighter jets and P-51 fighter jets are taxiing on the runway of the airport, and then fly into the sky. Under the guidance of the air search radar, prepare to meet the huge fleet of the Luftwaffe.
The 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Air Forces of the U.S. Army Air Forces are undoubtedly the main force against the German fleet. As for other air teams, although they are also moving to the north, or directly dispatching P-51 fighter units to fight. But the distance is relatively far away, and by the time they arrive at the battlefield, a large-scale air battle may have already broken out.
“Attention, attention, we are about to encounter the German fleet. All squadrons are ready to fight!” The commander of a fighter wing under the US Army’s 3rd Air Force ordered.
The 120 P-47 fighter jets of the entire wing have all taken off. These fighter jets formed a huge fleet, flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters. Their target will be the heavy bombers of the Luftwaffe.
It’s just that these fighter jets of the U.S. Army Air Force may not have combat experience with heavy bombers attacking the enemy. Therefore, whether it is a P-47 fighter or a P-51 fighter, it is nothing more than six 12.7mm heavy machine guns installed on the wings. Such weapons and equipment are undoubtedly sufficient in air battles with enemy fighter jets. Moreover, the continuity of firepower can be formed. However, it may be relatively difficult to deal with heavy bombers. After all, the body structure of a heavy bomber is stronger and larger. The bullets of heavy machine guns obviously cannot pose a fatal threat to these heavy bombers. Unless it hits a vital point, it is undoubtedly very difficult to shoot down a heavy bomber.
In order to intercept the huge fleet of the Luftwaffe, the U.S. Army Air Forces did their best. After receiving the order, all fighter jets of several air teams began to take off. Of course, there are still many fighter jets that are not ready to take off. The ground crew is also desperately refueling these planes and adding ammunition so that they can take off in time to fight.
At various air defense positions, the air defense soldiers have also entered a fighting state. The anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are all aimed at the sky. These anti-aircraft guns, except for a small number of 127mm anti-aircraft guns, are all 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 20mm anti-aircraft guns. In addition, the U.S. Army Air Corps is also developing a 90mm anti-aircraft gun based on the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun to bridge the gap between large-caliber anti-aircraft guns and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns. It’s just that it won’t come in handy for a while.
“My God! Is that the German fleet? Is it too big?”
When the fleets of the two sides encountered each other, the fighter pilots of the US military all exclaimed.
It’s just that the German fleet they actually saw was just the tip of the iceberg. The first to enter the U.S. airspace were several tactical aviation clusters of the Luftwaffe. The Strategic Aviation Cluster is still to come.
Marshal Edward Milch also knew that the Luftwaffe’s massive move would inevitably be intercepted by the US Army Air Corps. Therefore, he hopes that the TA-152 fighter jets of the tactical aviation group will first consume those fighter jets of the US Army Air Forces and clear the way for the strategic bomber force. In this case, the possibility of success in subsequent actions will undoubtedly be higher.
“Start the attack and kill the American fighter jets!” The frontline commander of the Luftwaffe also gave the order to attack.
Suddenly, a large number of TA-152 fighter jets dropped their auxiliary fuel tanks one after another, and rushed towards the P-47 fighter group of the US military.
The maximum range of the TA-152 fighter is only 1500 kilometers. However, after the auxiliary fuel tank is installed, the maximum range can reach 2,500 kilometers. Although not as good as the BF-110 fighter as a long-range fighter. But if it takes off from the front-line airport, it is enough to **** heavy bombers.
“Da da da! Boom boom boom!”
A fierce air battle ensued. The TA-152 fighter jets of the Luftwaffe took the lead and rushed towards the U.S. fighter jet group.
You know, the five tactical aviation clusters of the Luftwaffe have a total of 1,800 TA-152 fighter jets. This is the most advanced propeller aircraft in the German Air Force and even in the world.
The P-47 fighter jets and P-51 fighter jets equipped by the U.S. Army Air Forces are both lagging behind. Not to mention, there is still a gap in the quality of the pilots of the two sides.
In addition, there is also a big gap in the number of fighters between the two sides, which makes the German Air Force have an absolute advantage when they just started fighting.
Countless U.S. fighter jets were torn to pieces, falling to the ground like birds on fire.
“Boom boom boom!”
A P-47 fighter jet was hit by several cannon shells, and the entire fighter plane exploded in the air, turning into a bunch of fireballs and falling to the ground.
“Fuck you bastard, German!”
A P-47 fighter jet fired wildly, and six 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets formed a dense firepower network.
However, the German TA-152 fighter jet avoided these bullets flexibly. Taking advantage of the rate of climb, returned to high altitude. Then took the opportunity to dive, launched a counterattack, and disintegrated the U.S. P-47 fighter jet in the air.
“Find a way to kill the German bombers!” The commander of the US military ordered.
“God, sir. We are now being hunted down by German fighter jets, and we can’t even save our own lives, let alone attack German bombers.” The US military pilot complained.
Although, more and more U.S. fighter jets have been put into battle. They bravely attacked the German army. However, they were all beaten back by the **** fighter jets of the Luftwaffe.
At the same time, the **** fighter jets of the Luftwaffe, relying on their advantages in performance and quantity, caused heavy losses to the U.S. Army Air Force and suffered unspeakably. Fighters are shot down almost every moment.
In comparison, the losses of the German **** fighter jets were much smaller.
“Very good, well done, shoot down all these American fighter planes. Then bomb their airports, bomb their industrial areas, and turn everything into ruins!” The pilots of the Luftwaffe rejoiced.
“Asshole, find a way to get rid of the German fighter jets and attack their bombers. They are about to fly over our airport!” The officers of the U.S. Army Air Corps were extremely anxious.
