"Damn, these guys are so tough!" Captain Falck had just put a Casellia Falcon into the crosshairs, and the two Erley anti-aircraft guns alternated a series of 20mm shells, but the trajectory was so bad that it was curved like a wicker, and there was little accuracy at a distance of 500 meters. Two fiery snakes slashed under the opponent's fuselage, and the Stone Tea Falcon, who realized that he had been bitten by his tail, managed to dodge Captain Falck's attack with a beautiful roll. This is the third time he has missed the target today. At this time, his tolerance for the BF110 in his hand and the weapons on it was close to the limit.

"The Luftwaffe's BF110 performance in air combat can only be described as clumsy relative to all single-engine aircraft, and it is almost nothing but a long range and high speed. Horizontal maneuvering is not good, and as the key performance in vertical maneuvering, the climb and roll speed can be described as tragic. For those nimble high-speed fighters, ours is like a stupid bear! ”

"What's worse is that the bear at least has sharp teeth and terrifying strength, and the Erliekong cannons that we are currently equipped with are really not as powerful as they are. Not only is the power limited, but the trajectory is extremely curved, at least the 13mm aviation machine gun has good accuracy, and at the same distance, the walk of the Erliekong cannon can simply be described as a shotgun! At first, we also tried to use the 13mm machine gun to compare the shots, but then we realized that the ballistics of the two were not comparable at all, and in order to hit the target, we had to carefully get close to the target at a distance of about 300 meters, which was too difficult for the vigilant pilot and the agile aircraft he operated. Captain Falck complained in his report after the war.

The Stonefire and Spitfire's agility and formidable Sispano cannon give them a huge advantage in battle, especially the latter, whose strong horizontal maneuverability makes the Spitfire more suitable than the Stonefire to engage the cumbersome BF110. Within 10 minutes of the battle, three BF110s were torn to shreds, and four more were evacuated from the battlefield with injuries. Ten minutes later, Xu Huaiyuan's interceptor brigade began to appear. They were fearless in the face of the three-tiered box formation formed by German bombers. In the sunlight, the rockets flashed with a deadly glow.

"Hold on, the opponent's 13mm machine gun can't penetrate our defenses at all. Our Tiger Cats don't just have cockpit armor. And engine armor, don't be afraid. As long as you can do it to the standard of training, then we win! Xu Huaiyuan once again stabilized the morale of the army in the channel. With the exception of a few pilots who had fought in the Italian War, most of whom were novices, such frontal assaults were rare, and even in Italy pilots were accustomed to approaching their opponents from the side or from behind, rather than from a frontal assault. Perhaps the firepower of the bombers was not stronger than that of their own fighters, but when the relative speed of the two sides reached about 700 kilometers per hour. This head-on punch is a challenge for anyone's nerves!

The entire fleet was divided into 4 formations and entered the battlefield in turn. Xu Huaiyuan took the first crew to attack first. The two sides are getting closer. When the two sides approached 1,000 meters, the Germans finally couldn't resist firing first, and 13mm machine gun shells like flying locusts flew out of the bow belly of the JU88 bomber and the turret in the upper part of the fuselage. The rain of bullets was intertwined into a dense fire net, enveloping Xu Huaiyuan's group. From time to time several bullets cut a hole in the body. Some bullets even shot into the cockpit, making Xu Huaiyuan feel a little shaky. A relative speed of up to 700 kilometers per hour means that it takes less than 3 seconds to cover a distance of 300 meters. And this time, for the sake of safety, Xu Huaiyuan did not press the button for the rocket launch until he was close to about 500 meters.

In an instant, the roar produced by the high-speed friction between the rocket and the air after ignition overwhelmed all the sounds on the battlefield, and the huge noise filled Xu Huaiyuan's ears for a while, and a slender rocket jetted flames towards the target area. The 4 aircraft participating in the attack for the first time each chose a target. The first attack was extremely powerful, at a direct narrow distance between the two groups. 45 rockets weaved together into a deadly web of fire. These guys scurrying in the air made the German pilots who came across this weapon for the first time feel a little panicked, and some of the more unlucky ones crashed directly into this fire web!

The nose of a JU88 was hit by a 5-inch rocket, and the high explosive charge of several kilograms directly blew the turret and cockpit of the nose into pieces like a decapitation. Flames and shrapnel kill all crew members instantly. The plane began to fall out of control, and then the broken body could not withstand the enormous internal stresses and fractured. The scattered debris caused the nearby allies to encounter a baptism of metal, and the shards crackled against the aluminum skin of the fuselage. Some of the fragments even hit the engine bay, causing the entire plane to shake slightly. There are not many planes that were directly hit by rockets, except for this plane that was directly decapitated, the half-pulled wings of another plane were blown off, and the flames quickly engulfed the entire body under the influence of the air current, and the pilot tried to stabilize the plane at first, but there was a tooth-aching cracking sound from the wings of the bomb. And when puffs of smoke came out of the engine compartment, he knew he couldn't go back.

Everything happened in a very short period of time. Pilots can only act through even instinctive judgment. In the face of a sudden and fierce blow, many German pilots began to try to reduce the probability of being hit by dodging. Although the probability of a rocket hit is not high. Only 2 of the 50 rockets were hit, and the accuracy of the hit did not exceed 5%. But in the minds of the vast majority of people, the first instinct is to dodge. Rocket attacks are more lethal than cannon attacks, because you can see them flying towards you and exploding right next to you, and the impact of this shock is quite significant. At first, one or two planes tried to dodge, and when they began to maneuver in a dense formation, it naturally affected the rest of the crew. The result of this is that the entire box formation collapses like dominoes, and eventually collapses!

After the first round of attacks, Xu Huaiyuan and his crew began to dive, flying under the bomber group. The second group quickly entered the attack position and launched a second round of attacks. Dense rockets again poured into the German bomber group. I don't know if it was because of the poor accuracy or because of the effect of the German dodge, not a single of the 42 rockets hit directly, but the debris from the mid-air explosion still damaged two planes, and the loud sound of the flame explosion and shrapnel also brought the German pilot, who was already on the verge of collapse.

After the end of the second round of attacks, four aircraft began to climb and fly over the bombers. And then the third round of four attacks! In less than one minute, 16 Tiger Cat interceptors fired nearly 180 rounds of 5-inch rockets at the German bomber group. Continuous explosions rang out in the air, and the hulking bomber made its way through clouds of smoke and flames. From time to time, hapless planes were hit by shrapnel. During this attack, a total of 5 bombers were directly hit. In addition to this, some aircraft were injured by shrapnel, and a few heavily injured bombers were forced to drop their bombs and then return home. Of course, whether they can go back depends on whether the Tiger Cat interceptor is released. The rocket attack was only the first blow, and then there was the air hammer that made the German bomber pilots smell - the 30mm machine gun!

Knock knock, like an air hammer sounded on the battlefield, and the 30mm cannon on the back of the Tiger Cat interceptor began to fire, making a dull sound. Like the Germans' Erlikong 20mm cannon, the 30mm cannon equipped by Huaxia on the back of the Tiger Cat also has a complete trajectory, so the instructor generally requires the interceptor to approach the opponent about 300 meters before firing. As an old bird, Xu Huaiyuan has a very good grasp of distance and altitude, his plane maintains an altitude of about 150 meters below the opponent's bomber, and then shoots the ju88 bomber flying above with an oblique machine gun. Orange fireballs exploded in the air, a ju88 bomber couldn't dodge and was hit in the belly by a 30mm machine gun, the powerful 30mm high-explosive bomb easily tore through the opponent's defenses, and left a huge wound in the abdomen, the high temperature made the aluminum skin burn, flames and smoke poured out from the breach, more than ten seconds later, the plane began to lose altitude, and the flight trajectory became unstable, "The second crash!" Xu Huaiyuan said triumphantly.

However, not all people have Xu Huaiyuan's skills and luck, the two sides fly relative to each other, the relative speed is very large, most of the crew did not get a hit in this round of oblique attacks, and some crews even did not fire because the dive angle was a little large, and the direct distance from the opposing crew exceeded the effective range of the cannon, but it doesn't matter, for these bombers loaded with a large number of bombs, the interceptors still have ample opportunities to catch up and bite the lone target to death one by one! All the planes began to regroup after the first round of attacks, and then split into twin crews to attack the remaining bombers. But at this time, the flash of light that appeared from the clouds at 8 o'clock made Xu Huaiyuan shiver.

At the same time that the Haidongqing happily completed the first wave of attacks, the BF109 fighter group, which provided cover for the bombers, finally found an opportunity! One by one, the BF109 crew launched an attack from the rear of the Tiger Cat fighter, compared to the heavy armor and heavy firepower of the Tiger Cat fighter, the BF109 was as flexible as a swift! They chose such a good angle that they had their backs to the sun, and the dazzling sunlight obscured their tracks, that many Tiger Cat pilots did not realize where the attack was coming from when they were attacked.
