() Most assault aircraft have been suppressed, but there is one aircraft that can easily break through the interception of American fighter jets. This aircraft is the me-262 jet fighter. This aircraft can fly at a speed of 850 kilometers per hour, which is far

Higher than those American fighter jets. This allows them to easily escape the interception of American fighter jets.

In today's battle, the German army gathered almost all the usable me-262s in its hands. A total of 30 me-262s were sent out, and they would launch a fatal attack on the US bomber group.

The wings of each me-262 are full of anti-air rockets. This makes their speed slightly reduced, but it is still much faster than ordinary propeller fighters.

"12 o'clock direction, US bombers!" a pilot shouted. Loew looked forward, and a huge group of aircraft gradually appeared in front of him.

This is a huge B-24 bomber formation. There are nearly 200 bombers in the entire formation. The dense bombers seem to cover the sky in front of them.

The me-262 carrying anti-aircraft rockets will not choose to intercept head-on like ordinary fighters. Their tactics are like this. They will first climb to a slightly higher altitude than the bomber group, and then turn to the side of the bomber group.

Then approach the bomber from the side, and launch an attack with anti-air rockets outside the killing range of the bomber's self-defense firepower. Such an attack angle can increase the hit rate of the rockets to the greatest extent.

This time, they also adopted this attack method. Loew and other pilots turned to the side of the bomber group, preparing to attack them.

"Pay attention to the altitude!" The shouts of comrades came from the earphones.

Loew raised his head and saw that at a higher altitude, a group of P-47s were approaching at high speed.

The speed of the P-47 is certainly not enough to intercept the Me-262, but if the P-47 has a height advantage, then by diving, they can reach a speed of more than 900 kilometers per hour in a short time. During this time, the P-47 has already

It's enough to threaten me-262.

However, by estimating the speed, the rocket attack should have been completed before the P-47 arrived. So the Me-262 continued to approach the B-24 bomber group.

About 1.5 kilometers away from the aircraft group, the Me-262 aircraft group fired rockets. Each Me-262 was loaded with 24 rockets. The 720 rockets were like a swarm of fire bees, shooting towards the bomber group.

In just one attack, about five bombers were hit and began to fall. Loew could see that some of the bombers that were on fire began to deviate from the course, and then their noses began to droop and fell to the ground with flames.

.Some small black dots floated out from the crashed plane, and then turned into white umbrella flowers.

Although several bombers were hit, they still insisted on flying in the formation. At this time, due to the need to dodge the downed bombers, the formation of the entire bomber formation was a bit messy.

However, the Germans were not without losses. The engines of three Me-262s directly lost power due to inhaling the exhaust gas emitted by rockets. But now the height is high enough, they can slowly descend while carefully trying to restart.

Start the engine. Of course, you must be very careful, otherwise, it is not impossible for the engine to catch fire directly.

But now, other teammates can't take care of them. "Rush up and shoot them down with machine guns!" Faced with such a fleeting opportunity, the Germans certainly will not let it slip away like this. The remaining

The 27 Me-262s immediately rushed towards the bomber group.

As soon as it entered the bomber's self-defense firepower range, bullets from the bomber's self-defense machine guns were fired from all directions, forming a dense web of fire, as if anyone who pounced on it would be cut into several pieces. But as the distance increased,

As the mesh was quickly drawn closer, the net became sparse, and the mesh began to become larger. The me-262 passed through these meshes. Because the me-262 was too fast, many machine gunners could not adapt to it. So the large

Most of the bullets hit behind them.

At the same time, the huge fuselage of the b-24 became larger and larger in Loew's sight, almost filling the sight. Loew pressed the launch button, and the 4-gun 30mm

The m108 cannon began to roar, and the aircraft shook violently. The flames from the muzzle illuminated the entire cockpit red. When Loew passed by, he saw that the already injured B-24 had begun to lose control.

Already.

But at this time, those P-47s that swooped down from a higher place had also reached them. The man who led this squadron of 24 P-47s was a Jew named Albert, so he painted on his plane

A big Star of David. Before that, his squadron had been flying at an altitude of 9,000 meters, nearly two thousand meters higher than the bombers. This made it difficult for him to attack the me-262 before they launched an attack.

To launch an attack, however, only by diving down from such a high altitude can they gain enough speed to launch an effective attack on me-262 in a short period of time.

At this time, the Me-262s had already rushed into the bomber group, so the P-47s also rushed in without hesitation.

When Loew hit a B-24 and was about to find the next victim, his wingman shouted: "Fighter at 6 o'clock!" Loew turned around and saw a series of tracer bullets heading towards him.

The plane came. As a pilot who had flown FW-190 all his life, he quickly reacted and wanted to do a barrel roll.

…

A me-262 was getting bigger and bigger in Albert's sight. Albert knew that his number of attacks was extremely limited, so he immediately fired wildly at the aircraft. At this time, he saw the me-262 start to

The barrel rolled.

"Who the hell do you think I'm flying a FW-190?" Albert complained about the enemy's stupidity for actually using this rotten aircraft to play with rolls, while gently doing a barrel roll along with it. At the same time, he continued

He kept firing. He saw countless flaming shells getting into the plane. Then, a tail of the plane fell off, and then thick smoke came out of the engines on both sides. Then the plane suddenly disappeared.

Fell down.

But Albert didn't have time to be happy, because at this moment, he heard a "puff" sound. This was the sound of bullets hitting his fighter plane. Albert quickly rolled over, and then, he noticed

, the one that shot at him just now was actually a B-24 next to him. Obviously, because the speed of the two planes was too fast, all the bullets originally fired at the me-262 hit his P-47. Okay.

On the P-47 Pihou, Albert checked the aircraft and it seemed that there was no big problem.

At this time, most of the Me-262s had already broken out of the bomber formation. In the process, 4 more bombers were shot down and 12 bombers were injured to varying degrees.

But the Germans were not without losses. Loew's fighter jet was shot down. Fortunately, Loew succeeded in parachuting. There was also a Me-262 that hit a B-24 while avoiding the P-47. Although it succeeded,

Another bomber was shot down, but he was also smashed to pieces. Six more me-262s were also injured to varying degrees. Considering the poor reliability of the me-262, these aircraft must also be withdrawn from the battle. In this way

, due to various reasons, the number of me-262s that have withdrawn from the battle has reached 12. As a result, there are only 18 me-262s left. At this time, the American bomber group has basically successfully reorganized its fleet.

If another attack occurred, the losses might be even greater. In addition, 6 injured fighter planes were damaged and required escort, so the Germans simply gave up the attack and chose to evacuate.

At the same time, the P-47s had thrown away their auxiliary fuel tanks in the previous battle, so they could not stay here for a long time. So the P-47s shook their wings towards the bombers and began to return.

In the battle just now, several P-47s were injured. Most of them were injured by self-defense fire from bombers. Another one was injured by a piece of aircraft skin that fell from its head.

Bob Johnson's P-47 gradually fell behind. In the battle just now, his fighter was hit by a bullet and one of its cylinders was damaged. This made his economical flight speed unable to match other aircraft. And other aircraft did not.

More fuel came to fly with him.

As a result, the P-47 could only fly back alone. Bob Johnson flew for a long time, and when he was about to reach the English Channel, a group of planes appeared in his 9 o'clock direction. At first, Bob was still

He thought it was the US military's own P-47, but when he saw these planes approaching him at high speed, he began to wake up.

Soon those planes were approaching a recognizable distance, and Bob Johnson's pupils shrank sharply. There were a total of 16 FW-190s.

Regarding the mainstream fighter jets at that time, Ron once made this comment: "When it comes to group fights, the high-altitude P-47 is first, and the low-altitude FW-190 is first." The reason why Ron said this was because of these two aircraft.

They all have the same characteristics, that is, they have a sturdy body and powerful firepower. This allows them to take advantage of battles such as group fights where the chance of firing is greatly increased.

Today, in order to save fuel, Bob Johnson's aircraft flies at an altitude of about 4,000 meters. At this altitude, the fw-190's flight performance is stronger than that of the P-47, and it also has an overwhelming number of 16:1

Advantage. In addition, Bob Johnson's fighter plane itself has been injured, and the situation is even more unfavorable to him. Although the English Channel is close at hand, does he still have a chance to fly back?
