The bitten P47 fighter decisively began to escape, and with the opening of the afterburner, the output of the R2800 engine was raised by a notch, and the exhaust gas turbocharging equipment under the belly began to run at higher rpm, and more air was pumped into the engine's cylinders. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Under the action of huge power, P47 began to climb! Soar higher into the air with a climb rate that the FW190A can't match.

This set of tactics is the most common tactic used by the Americans in the face of German planes coming from the rear, as long as they are not too close and rely on good climbing, they can generally avoid the pursuit of the other side. After all, FW190A is a weighing stone at high altitude, in the eyes of Americans, if P47 at an altitude of 7000 meters is a refrigerator, FW190A is a solid refrigerator! Although the high-altitude performance of the FW190D has also been improved, it is still a certain gap with the P47.

But this time, they came across a new toy from the Germans - the TA152! Although there are still some gaps between the vertical climb and the P47, the difference is limited, and at high altitude, everyone climbs poorly, and it will take longer to pull up enough altitude, especially against opponents with similar performance. And this P47 just hit the muzzle, the initial position of the slightly higher Maryouse decisively grabbed the opponent's pull up and deceleration of the neutral, the nose of the aircraft slightly deviated, a series of 30mm and 20mm shells shot out like flying locusts, a few seconds later, the P47 fighter was torn in half! Two 30mm shells smashed it to pieces!

The Germans became more and more ferocious, going further and further on the road of pursuing firepower, even to the point of paranoia, the firepower that can smash fighters in a few seconds can no longer meet the needs of the Luftwaffe, they hope that ordinary fighters can have weapons that can easily shred bombers, and the BF109 can be regarded as a complete abandonment of treatment. The FW190D also had to reduce the weight of the weapon in order to improve mobility, and the TA152 achieved this goal! A cross-engine MK108 30mm jelly bean launcher and two 20mm cannons pushed this fighter's firepower to an unprecedented peak! It's a fighter jet! Don't be too crazy to hit a fighter with a 30mm cannon!

It's not a problem that the effective range is too close, and you can see the real kung fu within 300 meters. Equipped with a mass killer, the TA152 almost ignored the P47's rough and thick body, and a single shell could make the P47 unable to fly back. All it takes is a shot! You can open a window in the body! If you're unlucky, you'll fall apart! Compared with the P47D, the TA152's high-altitude performance is at least the same except for the poor climb, and the horizontal maneuverability is much higher than that of the flight refrigerator.

After some of the P47s were hit in the air and disintegrated while climbing, others learned and began to try to use horizontal mobility to entangle with the opposing side, and the Germans did not seem to have as good horizontal mobility. BF109 is an exception. But at this height, too, it's not good. The maneuverability of the refrigerator is not impossible to handle, but this time they encountered one of the few aircraft in the Luftwaffe that can go around at high altitude, and the wings comparable to the length of a glider allow the TA152's dogfighting ability to stabilize the refrigerator!

In the process of grinding again and again, one P47 fighter after another was beaten down in a daze. Of course, there are also many old birds among them, who take advantage of the P47's high overload, sturdy body, and high dive speed limit, evading the opponent's pursuit by diving, and counter-killing the opponent by leveling the speed advantage. Although they were a little confused at first, on the whole, the performance of the Americans was not so unbearable. But things have changed over time!

"There were so many planes from the Germans that they kept coming, and my squadron and I fought from 7,500 meters to 2,500 meters! At the top is a new type of aircraft, and after getting rid of it, we ran into the FW190D another 5000 meters. We had no advantage at this altitude, the opposing side was pouring in from all directions, my group was scattered, and my wingman and I were lucky enough to withdraw from a gap. Before he could catch his breath, he was entangled by a group of bf109s. My landline didn't end up being knocked down, but because of the constant maneuvering that caused the speed to be too low. Eventually stalled! Which bastard of the Air Force told me that we have a big advantage?! After the war, an American pilot who had escaped back curtailed cursed.

In the case that there is not a big gap in the degree of technology, it is natural that the side with more people has an advantage. The US fighter unit was already very tired after a morning of flying, and after more than an hour of fighting, it finally said that it could not hold on! The remaining fighters either continued to hold their arms in front of the car and were watched by superior opponents, or dragged their scarred bodies back in a swaying way. If they're lucky, they'll be able to see the choppy English Channel. Hundreds of German interceptors rushed forward on the path opened up by the fighter unit, and in front of them were a formation of boxes made up of B17 bombers, which in the eyes of the fighters were hedgehogs, but in their eyes read as prey!

The Americans were in a neat defensive formation, and the Germans were in an equally neat offensive formation! Like the charging formations of the ancient Germanic knights, the twin-engine bombers flew towards their targets in a tight formation, and the rockets flashing under the wings were the knights' deadly rifles, and the large-caliber cannons were their sharp swords. The extra defensive armor on the plane is the plate armor of the morale. They fearlessly faced the Americans' 50-caliber machine guns like fire hedgehogs. Brave the approach to 800 meters!

Then, waves of fire poured out from the front of the group and flew towards the target in the distance! In a very short period of time, the interceptors of 1 brigade fired hundreds of rockets into the formation of thick boxes. These tail-wielding smokers jumped up and down in a dense formation of Americans. An unlucky B17 was hit in the nose by a rocket, and the entire cockpit was directly unloaded along with a machine gun tower in the lower part of the fuselage, as if it had been decapitated, and the fuselage behind it continued to fly for more than ten seconds before falling headlong! It's scary to think about!

Quite a few hapless bombers were directly dismembered by the intensive rocket attack. The violent explosion formed a raging storm that emitted terrifying fluctuations in all directions! Flames, debris and shockwaves put nearby allies in danger, maybe the B17's armored nacelle can block the attack of shrapnel, but the engine propeller doesn't! The sound of crackling and breaking from time to time challenges the fragile nerves of Americans! One by one, the once invincible behemoths fell down with scars all over their bodies.

Finally, some crews couldn't stand this stormy blow and began to choose to break out of formation. And just like the wildebeest in nature facing a pack of lions, whoever runs at this time dies the fastest! If it's 1v1. A twin-engine interceptor can easily smash a four-engine bomber to pieces. Those who are conquered by fear on the battlefield will eventually die faster, and those who actively or passively leave the group will be lucky to survive one more minute! The frenzied slaughter continued, starting from Munich in England and ending with the departure from Germany proper. Thousands of German planes were like sharks that smelled blood!

Quite a few bomber brigades threw bombs into the wilderness in a desperate situation. Before entering the target area, as many as 900 US bomber units had been destroyed and about 100 were damaged, and in addition, more than 150 planes had returned for various reasons. The remaining 600-odd bombers were finally about to fly over the target, and at this time, the German volleys also entered*, at which point the American escort group was either entangled. Either it will be destroyed, and the final stage of the bomber's attack will simply pass through a storm of fighter fire!

"Drop the bomb now!" When he saw the target area, Major General Brinton gave the order to attack without even carrying out the necessary procedures for the avant-garde bombers to correct the bombing. Of course, the important reason for the cancellation of this step is that the avant-garde corrective bomb-dropping crew has long since disappeared, and may have been destroyed, or is struggling to survive in a corner. Now that the major general can lead the team to fly over the target after paying a heavy price, it is interesting enough, so how accurate is the mood?

More than 600 bombers dropped bombs of more than 2,000 tons from the air, and the bombs rained down on the ground like carpets, accompanied by deafening explosions and fires rising into the sky. The whole city is plunged into a purgatory of fire and blood, and the result of the combination of high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs is to completely wipe out the civilized creations on the ground! What the Germans did in Italy a few years ago has finally fallen to the Germans today! Humanity's most sophisticated equipment has been used for vendettas.

As the bomber group moved, a storm of flames several kilometers wide rolled forward. Tons and tons of bombs are being wiped out in the neighborhoods of Munich! The shock wave from the bomb and the updraft from the fire even affected the air at several kilometres in the air. The U.S. air fleet was left with nothing but a scorched earth like the surface of the moon.

When the Americans vented their fear and anger with bombs, the destruction of urban areas also ignited the anger of the Luftwaffe, if at the beginning they only regarded this operation as a mission, if at the beginning many people were still afraid of fighting, when the Germans saw their homeland and even their hometown being razed to the ground by the bombers of the other side, this engagement completely turned into an out-and-out revenge!

At this time, no one thinks about the so-called war convention anymore, and the double shot is done at all costs, just to destroy the opponent! And this time in the fighting. There was the first large-scale air ramming operation in the history of air combat in World War 2, which was completely different from the historical Rhine commandos. It was a spontaneous suicide attack by a Luftwaffe pilot after he ran out of ammunition, or when the plane was damaged!

A Me410 fighter with a half-pulled wing swayed to catch up with a B17 bomber that had just dropped its bomb and was about to climb and evacuate. The slender wing was like a razor on the engine compartment of the B17, and along with the break of the wing, the engine compartment of the B17 bomber also left a slender scar! And then the plane that was no longer inoperable crashed headlong into the fuselage of another B17, with a loud bang, the bomber that had just embarked on the way home could never return to England, and this impact was like a signal, and then, several more damaged planes rushed up, colliding with the American bomber before the box formation was closed again, such a crazy move made people shudder!

Of course, more German pilots chose to return to the airfield to replenish ammunition or change planes and re-engage in the hunt for the U.S. Air Force's returning fleet! The manhunt for Rear Admiral Brinton's crew continued until the group flew over the English Channel. When the Royal Air Force Spray and Typhoon fighters arrived in large numbers, the red-eyed Luftwaffe fighter unit gave up the pursuit. However, they did not leave, but immediately got into a fight with the British Air Force, and in this volley operation, the Luftwaffe's will to fight exceeded the expectations of the United States and Britain. The ferocity is unprecedented!

"The bomber unit of the 7th Air Army, which attacked Munich in the air, was almost destroyed, and in this operation we lost 350 bombers of all kinds! More than 7 percent of them are B17 bombers! It's just a battle! And the fighter units also suffered heavy losses, we lost more than 400 fighters and 370 crews, and months of preparation turned into fireworks in the sky! And what happened to the Seventh Air Force was not the only one! The British suffered equally heavy losses, they were destroyed on this day 200 bombers of all kinds, plus 300 fighters! On this day alone, we lost a thousand-machine formation! The strength of the Germans is beyond our imagination! There has been a gross error in our estimation of their strength! In a letter to Marshall, Li Mei wrote so heartbreakingly! The heartache and helplessness in the words jumped on the page!

The Americans suffered heavy casualties, the Germans were also unhappy, and the Red Baron after getting the war report was as painful as Li Mei! The Entente threw away a Luftwaffe in one day, and the Luftwaffe was also knocked out in close to one air corps in this day! More than 900 aircraft, 650 crews were wiped out in less than a day of engagement! The Red Baron's family funds that he had easily saved up in the Luftwaffe were quickly depleted. Although the losses of the Luftwaffe were much smaller than those of the United States and Britain in terms of losses, if the losses in the bombed areas were counted, it would be difficult to say, strategic bombing was really a double-edged sword, and both those who wielded the sword and those who were stabbed were scarred!

However, in this battle related to the fortunes of the country, no one flinched. When the last rays of the sun disappeared, the night bomber units of the United States and Britain set off again, and the night fighter units of the Germans also rose into the sky, and the battle continued at night when they could not see their fingers, and from now on, there were planes on mission in the airspace of the Allies at all times! And such a situation lasted until the end of the war!
