Chapter 47: The Battlefield of Blood and Fire (Revision)
Red Baron Richthofen piloted the Albatross D, which was equipped by their safari team, hovering in the sky. Of course, their goal is not exactly to escort the aircraft, and these Albatross D's belly also contains two aerial bombs.
"It's all that damn bastard, or we're going to hang up on these damn things? It's fucking heavy as a potato! ”
Why do you use the word potato? That's because among the German army's field rations, this kind of starchy and easy-to-absorb food is also the most important when using ingredients, and it has long annoyed this grumpy nobleman.
It was these things that limited the maneuverable flight of the Red Baron's beloved albatross and also cost him almost his life this time.
Fokker swooping to the ground. The E.III plane seemed to rush into a hornet's nest, and the rain of bullets formed by countless tracer bullets almost filled the sky. Of course, they destroyed many vehicles of the 1st French Assault Cavalry Division, but they were greeted by 12.7mm machine guns, and their situation was not much better.
One after another Fokker was hit. When the E.III was hit, its thin body made it unable to resist such a powerful blow, and often even the fuselage was cut in two.
"Oh my God, what kind of machine guns do these Frenchmen use, if they hit the albatross......!"
If an ordinary 7.62mm heavy machine gun is of little use against the laminated fuselage of the albatross, it is of little use other than to make it burn. German pilots often landed safely in an Albatross D with multiple machine gun bullets in the fuselage. The machine gun of the E.III in two was clearly not so easy to deal with.
Moreover, the first vehicles of the 1st Assault Cavalry Division of the French Army were equipped with 12.7 or 7.62 mm heavy machine guns, not to mention that they also had a large number of light machine guns in their first platoon. This undoubtedly makes those who constantly dive to attack, pull up, and dive again. E.III Every dive requires a great deal of courage from the pilot.
Although the German pilots were holding their breath because they could not participate in the war, if they got up early, then the Iron Wing members who got up early to support the ground attack were not lazy. By this time they had already begun to take to the skies, including the Rheu who commanded them. Lieutenant Luberry didn't even stop yawning as he sat in his "Eagle Eye" and lifted into the air.
The pre-dawn ground is quite dark, especially when viewed from hundreds of meters in the sky. So not long after they took to the air, they discovered the dangerous situation in which the troops of the 1st French Assault Cavalry Division were located.
"Well, these Germans, they get up early!"
Ruiwu. Louberry stared at the lens of the large-powered wide-angle telescope in admiration. Having participated in many air battles, he knew that the situation of the French ground army was not very good at this time.
"Order, take off half of the fighters, quickly fly to the **** coordinates, and tell them that this is a good opportunity for them to become trump cards!"
This lazy voice is a command.
At the urging of the sirens, the pilots ran out of their quarters while wearing their own clothes. And the pilot, who was on duty, was already rushing to his plane to prepare for liftoff.
Thanks to the advantage of having Hawkeye to see the battlefield in advance, Frank. When Luke's fighter squad entered the sky above the battlefield, not only did they carry the sun that had just peeked out from the east, but they were also at a height above the Albatross D with two bombs and a weight gain of 24 kilograms.
Due to the sound of gunfire and explosions on the battlefield, even an alert person like the Red Baron Richthofen did not notice the "Newburgh 11-F" diving down from a high altitude. The aircraft, with its engine, 12.7 mm machine gun and bulletproof transparent cockpit, was about as fast as the German Albatross D, and its maneuverability was quite improved.
"Da Da Da ......"
The German flying team "Albatross D", which had not yet taken part in the battle, was received by Frank. A surprise attack by a fleet of fighters led by Luke. Of course, a few planes spotted them, but because of the means of communication and the bombs that affected their mobility, they all became target aircraft.
Hearing the sound of gunfire above, Richthofen twisted his neck to observe while maneuvering his own plane. It's a pity that his plane was quite slow to react at this time because of the bombs hanging on it, and just such a small sluggishness almost killed him.
"Whoosh ......"
With a chirping sound, locust-like bullets swept past him. Even a tracer bullet was so close that it left a scorched mark on his flight cap.
"I know who you are, I know you, you're the Sagittarius guy!"
Richthofen, the red baron who was startled by the bullet and broke out in a cold sweat, shouted angrily, and as soon as he pressed the nose of the plane, he broke his heel and chased after the plane that had just shot at him, and the insignia of the plane was a Sagittarius shooter surrounded by beautiful women.
"Did you hit it? …… What a fuck! …… Pay attention to the enemy's airspeed and estimate accurately...... Get rid of ...... quickly"
Zhu Binhou, who encountered the red baron Richthofen, missed the blow, and the plane pounced on the bullets that were constantly being fired on the ground. While looking back at the red "Albatross D" that was chasing him, he also had to pay attention to the bullets fired by the French machine gunners on the ground who had already shot red eyes and were indiscriminately red and blue.
When he saw the red plane at a glance, Zhu Binhou first remembered the arrogant red baron who fought to the death with Tang Yunyang in the sky, and became a special friend on the ground. They once said that they wanted to see high and low on the battlefield, so Zhu Binhou chose him as his opponent.
The Albatross D, which was closely following Zhu Binhou, was getting faster and faster, which in turn benefited the two aerial bombs in its belly, which affected its maneuverability but accelerated its dive.
"With such a fast speed, I will definitely be able to get rid of him smoothly, just ......"
Zhu Binhou has received formal training from the French Aviation School, and he is not like the Mike who was coached by Tang Yunyang. Lang, like Tang Yunyang, has the same problem of reciting formulas, as he usually behaves, he is a calm and scheming person.

His plan was good, and with just one climb, he could get rid of the albatross D who was chasing after him faster and faster. His idea was right, and the airspeed of the Red Baron's Albatross D was correct according to his observations, but his mistake was his lack of actual combat experience.
The red baron Richthofen in the "Albatross D" swooped down on the "Newburgh 11-F", and a sneer broke out on his thin lips. He had expected this for a long time, and he had already planned it.
Reaching out and pulling the handle of the bomb, two aerial bombs that had been affecting the maneuverability of his plane were thrown, and he didn't care where they went.
As soon as the plane was light, followed by a small turn, the "Albatross D" immediately and flexibly turned the nose of the plane and appeared behind Zhu Binhou, who was slowing down because of the climb.
"Da Da Da ......"
Aviation machine guns rang out.
