However, to the surprise of Ruprecht and the German army leadership, the biggest losses in this attack were not the long-range artillery units of the Allies, but the immature air forces of Britain and France. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oh God! Is it up there for us to let the sparrows shoot down those geese? "When Second Lieutenant Mondale and his squadron came to the battlefield according to the guidance of the ground, they stopped in front of a formation of squadron bombers, opposite at least 18 plus bomber crews formed six three-plane squads, these squads posed in a strange shape in three-dimensional space, how to say, the front looked like a wall, and the side looked like a multi-layered cake. But it was such a huddle formation that made Mondale a little helpless!

Not everyone has the mind of Mondale and realizes that there may be another mystery in this never-before-seen formation, and to say that Mondale sees anything is an absolute bragging, after all, this is the first time that the K-4 bomber has been used on a large scale, and it has only appeared sporadically before (the airfield is too far from the battlefield to fly. It was the first time that Mondale had seen this kind of twin-engine bomber, and he didn't know about the performance, let alone the famous box formation and machine-gun hell of later generations, and he could realize that there was a problem, which can only be said to be the sixth sense.

Just as Mondale hesitated, a large group of Falmont F20 fighters rushed into the battlefield, this kind of aircraft is considered an early fighter aircraft, the engine is rear, and there are two pilots, one of whom controls the plane in the back, and one in the front controls the machine gun ....... In an era when the engine power of fighter jets was not in the triple digits, you dared to arrange 2 pilots on an aircraft used for air combat! What kind of death spirit does this require? If it was the First World War in history, it would be nothing, after all, everyone had done such a thing.

But now, after the flapping wings of the little butterfly Ruprecht, this kind of design is backward, the perception is extremely poor, the speed is less than 3 figures, the target is large, and the firepower is not strong, if the guy goes to the battlefield, it can only be described as a tragedy!

When this group of planes flew at a speed comparable to 60 kilometers a car, they were greeted by an overwhelming rain of bullets, which was a real rain of bullets, and the French chose to charge head-on, as if to give full play to the advantage of the front-seat shooter? However, 18 large-caliber machine guns of 36 12.7mm aircraft in the front fired several thousand rounds in a very short time at a distance of less than 500 meters.

Readers here, imagine the current scene. The two sides are basically moving at one altitude, and then you drive a car directly opposite the other car on the opposite side, and the relative speed of the two sides is about 130 kilometers. And then the other party suddenly took out dozens of large-caliber machine guns and designed them against you! It's a sour feeling!

The bullets like a sandstorm instantly covered the front hemisphere of the entire bomber formation, and the 10mm bullets effortlessly tore the planes that were not protected and even spliced with plywood to pieces, and many bullets even came in from the nose, and then killed the two pilots in a row and damaged the engine. The M2 Heirloom that can be used after 2 battles is a murderous attack on fighter-level units in 1 air combat!

Armor-piercing incendiary bombs were originally used against cars, and it was even easier to hit a plane, as soon as one shot hits, the entire plane will turn into a flaming fireball! Even ordinary bullets can easily dismantle these planes to pieces, and as the bomber formation moves, the bullets fired are like cone-shaped flames spewed by a dragon, easily burning all the enemies in front of them! In just a few minutes, a squadron of French planes was crushed to slag!

"We dive from above or attack from below!" Mondale ordered his men that the Falmont fighter layout had finally shown some advantages when attacking from the bottom up, and that the Falman F20 could fire the machine gun diagonally upwards compared to a machine-gun mounted aircraft, thus eliminating the need for climbing. But even so, it was difficult for them to hit the more lethal cockpit positions of the K-4 bombers, and the bombardier in the middle could also control the machine guns to fire diagonally downward, and with the formation of the bread, these planes still cost the French heavily in complementary situations.

"Damn, our Shosha machine guns are not powerful enough!" Mondale cursed as he watched the shooter in front of him cut a few holes in the huge K-4 bomber's fuselage. Although it is a wooden structure, it is undeniable that for this multi-ton aircraft, the power and fire continuity of the Shosha machine gun are in question. You know, although the early models of Spitfire are also ordinary machine guns, they also have 8 of them! Moreover, it is also a chain feed, but the Shosha machine gun is a 30-round arc magazine ....... This firepower is not at the same level at all.

And what made Mondale even more frustrating was that after missing the first round of attack, it was difficult for their plane to attack from the rear, not because of the opponent's machine guns as deadly as the tail of a scorpion, but because the two-man Falman F20 fighters were not ......fast enough in the face of bomb-loaded K-4 bombers.

The British's de Havilland fighters did not perform well, but they were first intercepted by Sparrowhawk fighters on the periphery. Thanks to a better engine, and a lighter load on a driver, the British were much more combat-ready than the French.

"Don't go around in circles with each other, our advantage is speed, we can fight when we have a chance, it doesn't matter if we don't have a chance, it's hard for them to beat down those big things." After taking out a British fighter with a shallow dive and a precise point shot, the Red Baron said to his lieutenant, Green.

"I promise, if those bomber pilots hear you say that, they'll beat you up!" As he approached again, Goering shouted at his own plane.

The two-plane formation of the German fighter unit was obviously more suitable than the three-plane formation of the British or the single-headed one-man group, and it was flexible and flexible, and the mutual cooperation between the long planes and the wingmen, coupled with the telling and the relatively rich experience, even the exchange ratio with the British fighter unit in this round of air combat was very favorable.

And in the end, some of the cunning pilots also learned to use the bombers, and they sometimes deliberately let go of some of the opposing fighters, and after the attack of the opposing fighter force was completed, when the energy was at its lowest, these cunning pilots swarmed to solve it. Although this was a violation of the regulations, it was tacitly tolerated until the British and French planes came up with firepower, and even the bomber units thought it was their duty to cut off a few fighters.
