Iron Winged Eagle Yang Chapter 57 Put on a sheep's clothing

The withered tulips of the second season 57 chapters are draped in sheepskin

The bloody battle in the air is more romantic than the land battle, and at the same time, it is also more cruel.

The warplanes in the sky crossed the beautiful course, like the most beautiful waltz in the sky, but it was neither the partner nor the couple who danced. What they send to each other is neither charming "autumn waves" nor elegant smiles.

Clusters of machine-gun bullets spraying tongues of fire are the best gifts they can give each other. This is the fate of the "air knights", and it is also the life that the air knights have to face.

In the vicinity of Cape York, which is close to Irian Island in Australia, the faster "Saber ABZ" and the two-winged "Tomcat Heavy Air Dominance Fighters" and "Camels" are engaged in a brutal air battle.

When the "Sabre" planes obtained by the Australian Air Force from Britain suffered complete losses in a "formation collision" with the escort planes of the German Royal Flying Corps, the air battle immediately entered the stage of maneuverability competition. At this time, the "Tomcat Heavy Air Dominance" and "Camel" fighters, which had a small transformation radius, played to their strengths to some extent.

However, in the "Formation Charge", because of the difference in range and rate of fire. The formation of the Australian Air Force has been completely broken up, and they are caught in a "dog fight" and have little opportunity to hit their important target, the "Meteor medium bomber".

The "Sabre ABZ" fighter, however, is like a shepherd dog and cannot leave the "flock" it protects because of the task of protecting the "Meteor bomber". As a result, their aerial dogfights gradually descended into bitter battles.

The Australian fighters, who were much more numerous than the escorts, finally got their chance, and some of the "Tomcats" and "Camels" broke through the defenses of the "Saber ABZ" fighters and pounced on the circle formation of the "Meteor medium bombers" like lambs.

The "circle formation" was a common formation used by the Royal German Flying Corps during bombing in World War I, although due to the development of machine guns at the time, it was not possible to fully exert the power of this formation.

Now, then, it is a completely insidious trick for the thick-skinned "Meteor medium bombers" to line up in this "beaten formation" that the pilots of the "Allied powers" in the past laughingly called.

After all, the capabilities of the 4-barrel rotating machine gun on the aircraft are not comparable to the power of the 7.63mm rifle of the past. The rate of fire of 3,000 rounds per minute makes these lined up guys not docile little sheep, and if one of them accidentally approaches, they will be like wolves in the flock, making the attacker realize that this time they are completely wrong.

A three-plane attack squadron consisting of "Camel" planes, according to British custom, flew to the flanks of the "Meteor Bomber" formation. The pilots of the "Camel" aircraft did not understand how strong the protection of such an aircraft really was. Of course, from the information, they also know that this is a bomber that can be called a "hedgehog".

However, the pilots of the Australian Flying Corps had no idea what danger lurked beneath these clumsy, supple-looking faces.

Some pilots of the Australian Air Force fighters, who seemed to be lucky or lucky, slipped past the "Saber ABZ", were complacent. The large number of neat bombers in front of them seemed to be the result of their "ace pilots".

The figure of the "Meteor medium bomber" rapidly expanded in the sights, and the pilot of the pilot plane of the "Camel" attack team confidently put his finger on the trigger, believing that under the attack of his three-plane team, such a bomber had little chance.

However, it all felt like a nightmare that had just begun.

Three small groups of bombers lined up in the sky at different heights and at different levels. When the "camel" approached from the weaker defense on both sides of the bomber according to the description in the document, it was immediately attacked by a ceasefire attack by the bomber group.

Includes 6 twin 12.7 machine guns, 6 4-barreled rotating machine guns for simultaneous attack. The bullets of the 12.7 mm machine gun, which had a much longer range than the 7.62 mm bullets, immediately formed a "beam" in the sky like a meteor, and thousands of bullets swept past the flanks of the attacking "camel" attack team almost at the same time.

Seeing the sudden drastic change, the pilot of the pilot plane of the "Camel" attack group immediately returned to the rudder with a rod as if instinctively. His plane was like a swift, turning sideways and narrowly escaping in the rain of bullets.

When the frightened pilot looked back at his teammates, it was clear that his teammates did not have the same instincts as he did. Under the dense rain of bullets, they both became two torches, dragging the black smoke down to the sea below.

"These bastards...... Bastards, they're not lambs! God, use your divine power to destroy the Chinese Federation, they must have signed an incomparable secret pact with Satan, otherwise how could their bombers all become killers! ”

The pilot's words were not wrong, no matter whether the "Tomcat" or "Camel" broke through the defense circle, no plane could really break through the three-dimensional defense formation like a ball formed by the "Meteor medium bomber" at different altitudes and directions.

The Australian planes, which were put by the "Saber ABZ", as if lucky, fell one after another under close contact with the bombers.

In the machine guns on the plane, there is not an almost unlimited load capacity compared to the "Phalanx", as on the battleship. When the first Australian fighters to attack became the brightest torch in the Pacific Ocean because of their carelessness, they immediately stopped firing.

The Australian fighter pilots, who had suffered losses, had no way to transmit these messages to the headsets of their own friendly planes. In their headphones, the noise of radio interference was everywhere. This is the deepest feeling with all the flying teams fighting against the Chinese Federation.

As in the First World War, once the planes were in the sky, there was no way to get the message to them. Although these planes had already been equipped with radio communication systems to learn from the Chinese Federation, under the interference of the powerful "Eagle Eye II" airship, these radio equipment had long since become the ears of the deaf.

Then everyone must wonder, how can the Federal Republic of China interfere with other people's communication facilities, but others can't interfere with them?

The reason is very simple, I believe everyone has not forgotten the codebreaker master that Tang Yunyang brought back from the United States. Due to his existence and the Chinese Federation's "hobby" of code-breaking, coupled with enough money and enough mathematicians, plus the role of MI5.

At this time, the military passwords of the countries of the world did not have too many secrets for the Chinese Federation.

In addition, the payload of the "Hawkeye II" airship, weighing 40 tons, except for some personnel and materials, is all electronic equipment. Let me ask, after the Chinese Federation has poured so much "effort" into it, isn't it a matter of course to gain some advantages in this regard?

Soon after, under the protection of the "Sabre ABZ" fighters, swarms of "Meteor medium bombers" flew over the Cape York Air Force Base in Australia. At this time, due to the heavy anti-aircraft fire on the ground, the bombers flying in the black smoke from the explosion of the shells suffered some losses.

However, when the bombers responsible for solving the ground air defense completed their tasks, and the anti-aircraft guns that "opened their mouths" into the sky were completely devoid of gunners, the last moment came.

The "Meteor medium bomber" that skimmed the sea dropped 150-kilogram and 200-kilogram bombs. Unlike naval aviation, army aviation was not trained to drop torpedoes, although the "Meteor medium bomber" could accomplish the same task.

As far as the "Thunder International" is concerned, the bombing methods of the army are derived from the design of the "Red Earl" - Richthofen. Horizontally dropped, specially designed charters, create so-called ricochets on the surface of the sea, which make it possible to attack the superstructure of warships.

This method of attack is the same method that Tang Yunyang saw when he watched the movie of World War II.

Compared to torpedo attacks, this attack has its own special effects. The armor of the warship is mainly on the side and the top of the turret, but the armor on the sides is surprisingly thin. If aerial bombs can accurately attack the side of the superstructure of a warship, then the blow to the crew and command system of the warship is incalculable.

As for the "Red Count" Richthofen, he was a maverick figure, although he was the "godfather" of all the pilots of the Chinese Federation. However, he has always insisted that naval aviation and army aviation must have their own characteristics. As a result, the attack technology of the army aviation has become like this.

This kind of attack ship technology, when used in the Australian Navy, can achieve miraculous results, making this war of "one willing to fight and one willing to suffer" accomplished better. After all, repairing the superstructure of a warship is much less expensive than rebuilding the hull.

The British would have been satisfied, but some soldiers had died, but the Australian fleet had not been seriously damaged, and they had finally been given an account.

Of course, Luknar's naval assault group does not follow such rules, and their actions are more aggressive than those of Cape York.

After all, the British provoked the Chinese Federation, even if they knew that they were wrong, they still had to hit their butts a few times, otherwise they would not remember the pain! Chapter 57: Putting on a sheep's clothing
