() Bob Johnson didn't care about the fuel consumption now. He pushed the throttle valve directly to the end, and the R-2800 Double Wasp engine roared violently. Although one cylinder was missing, this extremely reliable engine was still

A steady stream of power is being output.

But those FW-190s had already taken advantage of the height. They took turns to swoop over, spraying bullets and shells like raindrops. Bob Johnson barely dodged the attacks of the first three planes, but during the avoidance, he had not much chance.

The energy is even more exhausted.

"The biggest advantage of the P-47 is that it dives well. When the situation is unfavorable, you can use this characteristic to escape." So Bob Johnson pressed the nose of the aircraft and began to dive downwards.

But the dive of the FW-190 is not bad, and the acceleration in the initial stage of the dive is even faster than that of the P-47. So Bob Johnson’s actions did not allow him to get rid of the German pursuit immediately. The only advantage is that the Germans cannot now

There were multiple different angles to attack him, and they could only attack him from Bob's six o'clock direction. Therefore, only one plane could fire on Bob at a time.

"Puff, puff, puff," this was the sound made when the 15mm shells of the FW-190 hit Bob's P-47. Although Bob kept making some evasive actions, facing the FW-190

It was still inevitable to be hit by as many as four aircraft cannons and two machine guns.

Fortunately, these shells are fired from the 6 o'clock direction. Generally speaking, shells fired from the tail have the weakest lethality. Moreover, for fighter jets, the tail direction is always the most resistant to strikes.

direction. In addition, the P-47 is very strong, so even though it was hit by many shells or bullets, the P-47 can still keep flying.

After a while, the gunfire from behind stopped, and a fw-190 slid sideways to get out of the attack position - he had used up all the ammunition.

Due to the need to constantly dodge, Bob, although he wanted to use the P-47's dive acceleration to get rid of his opponent, he was never able to reach the speed enough to get rid of the FW-190. And those lingering FW-190s also followed

Behind it, keep firing at him.

Not long after, in the continuous shallow dive, Bob's original altitude of 4,000 meters was only 400 meters. But he still couldn't get rid of the enemy plane. Bob had only one way, and that was to continue to lower the altitude and lower the altitude.

Lower it to about 10 meters. In this way, the enemy plane needs to be very careful when diving to attack you. Otherwise, it will hit the ground and die.

If Bob could maintain the altitude of the plane at about 10 meters, then the enemy planes attacking him would still be able to fire from his 6 o'clock direction one by one.

It's just that in the past period, his fighter plane took a lot of hits. Both the ailerons and the tail were hit, and now they are a little awkward. This makes the plane's movements even more clumsy.

Already.

Another FW-190 opened fire from behind, and Bob did a slight side spin. A string of bullets missed, and the plane pulled up a little. (It is extremely dangerous to maintain an altitude of 10 meters.

) and then cut through from the inside again, and then fired a series of cannonballs. Bob kept paying attention to his actions, and he turned in the opposite direction again, dodging most of the cannonballs again.

Just like that, I don’t know how long it took, and the blue sea finally appeared in front of me. Bob knew that if he flew for a while, he would be able to fly across the strait. The Germans no longer dared to fly over the strait. Those jets of the Royal Air Force

Fire is not easy to bully. Fly across the strait and he will be saved.

After Hanks fired the last bullet, he pulled up the fighter plane, only to find that no teammates fired at the American fighter jet that refused to crash.

"I'm out of bullets! Does any of you still have any bullets?"

"Mine has been polished off a long time ago."

"Mine too."

…

The Germans were surprised to find that all 16 FW-190s had fired their last bullet. But the P-47 that had been hit by an unknown number of bullets was still flying.

"Forget it, God is sitting in that guy's cockpit today." A German sighed.

"I'm going to fly over and see what that lucky boy looks like." Another German guy said while controlling the fighter jet to fly towards Bob.

Bob's condition was already very bad at this time. His plane was severely damaged, and just now, a 7.92mm bullet flying from behind hit the bulletproof glass of the front windshield and bounced back.

It hit the bulletproof steel plate at the back again, bounced off again, bounced off somewhere unknown, and finally hit Bob's knee.

This time, Bob's left leg was unable to move for a long time, and it was inconvenient to pedal the rudder. Bob didn't know at this time that his enemy had used up all the bullets. He only knew that no matter the condition of the aircraft

Or his own condition makes it difficult for him to dodge very effectively anymore.

However, the German fighter plane did not cut into his 6 o'clock direction, but chose to fly parallel to him and kept approaching him. Bob looked towards the German plane, and he saw the German in the cockpit giving him the cockpit.

He gave a thumbs up and kept shaking. Then, the German fighter jet shook its wings and flew away.

Not only that German fighter plane, but other German planes also flew next to Bob one after another, gave him a thumbs up, shook their wings, and then left.

When all the fw-190s were flying out of sight, Bob believed that he was really out of danger. But the fuel in his tank was already very low, and he was afraid that he might not be able to fly back to the base.

...When the last drop of fuel was consumed, Bob had already flown over England. The base test flight was out of reach, but there was still a road below. Bob pointed the nose of the plane towards the road with difficulty and began to prepare for an emergency landing...

…

An hour later, Bob's plane was towed back to the base, and his comrades counted more than 200 bullet holes in his fighter plane.

…

As night falls, the day's fierce fighting has come to an end. Everyone has withdrawn their troops and returned to camp to tally the results.

"General, the results of the battle have been calculated." A staff officer handed a document to Ron.

Ron took the document, unfolded it on his desk, and started reading.

"Fighter units dispatched 3,524 sorties, and there were 241 air battles." Ron thought as he watched: "Today's combat density is much higher than yesterday."

He continued to look down, "Our losses in the air battle are as follows: 62 P-51s were shot down and 25 were injured; 20 P-38s were shot down and 17 were injured; 22 P-47s were shot down and 24 were injured.

aircraft. In the air battle, our fighter force shot down 151 enemy bf-109 series fighter jets and 76 fw-190 series fighter jets. bf-

21 110 series, 30 ju88 series, 4 jets of unknown type (3 of them were injured and crashed by a sneak attack on the way back.) 62 bf-109 series, 33 fw-190 series, bf were damaged

-8 aircraft of the 110 series and 11 aircraft of the JU88 series. A total of 282 enemy aircraft were shot down and 114 enemy aircraft were damaged."

This result is much better than yesterday. Although the exchange ratio is not as good as yesterday, but compared to the Germans, they still have an overall advantage. If this kind of battle continues for a few days, the entire Luftwaffe will cease to exist. By that time

At that time, Europe was like a house without a roof, and you could bomb it as much as you wanted.

Ron recovered his thoughts and asked the staff officer: "Call the bomber unit and see if the situation on the bomber side has been compiled?"

"Yes, General!" The staff officer turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, you immediately send someone to send a copy of the battle report to Commander Doolittle." Ron added.

…

In the Eighth Air Force Commander's Office, Doolittle had just put down the battle report sent by the bomber unit. The bomber unit suffered heavy losses in today's operation. A total of 35 B-24s and 24 B-17s were shot down, and 23 B-

24 and 15 B-17s were seriously injured

The hit effect of their bombs was not as good as yesterday. However, the results of the air battle greatly exceeded yesterday: the bomber force shot down 21 enemy aircraft, including a jet (the one that collided with the B-24, the shameless Yankee

That also counts as your own number of kills).

"It seems that if we persist for three to five days, the entire German Air Force will probably collapse. Well, just like Ron said, through this battle, we will be able to completely tear off the roof of Europe."
