Arthur put the anti-aircraft gun at the end of the bridge into the shooting halo, and then pressed the shooting button. Several rockets roared straight out from under the wings of his plane. In the blink of an eye, the anti-aircraft gun was engulfed in flames.

and surrounded by thick smoke. At almost the same time, his wingman also used a rocket salvo to destroy another anti-aircraft gun.

As Arthur pulled up the plane, he heard his rear seat gunner shout, "Well done! They're screwed... Enemy plane spotted at 5 o'clock!"

The second part of this sentence startled Arthur. "Enemy plane", how long has it been since he saw this thing? Anyway, after returning to Europe this time, he almost never saw an enemy plane again. Arthur turned his head towards that

I looked over and saw that there were really two planes there - big heads and thin tails, they were the German FW-190.

Obviously, the two FW-190s had discovered them. The two enemy planes were climbing rapidly and seemed to be a little distance away from them. This was a typical reaction of the FW-190 fighter after encountering an enemy. This kind of fighter aircraft

It's not particularly scary if it goes into battle before gaining energy advantage, but once this kind of aircraft has energy advantage, with its excellent dive and superb roll, it becomes a perfect killing machine.

Therefore, when facing other fighters, FW-190 pilots always try to gain an energy advantage before entering the battle. From a distance, the PA-38 looks little different from an ordinary P-38 fighter.

.The Germans probably thought they were ordinary fighter jets, so they acted so cautiously.

But damn, if Arthur had an original fighter jet, then he wouldn't be afraid of these two fw-190s. You know, air supremacy is in the hands of the Americans.

"If my plane was a fighter, as long as I delayed it for a little bit, the two enemy planes would be dead. Because as long as I radioed for help, a whole squadron of fighters would rush over to help. But now, with this heavy and heavy plane

Attack plane, I'm not sure I can hold out until friendly forces arrive." Arthur thought like this, and quickly dropped all the bombs indiscriminately, and at the same time pushed the throttle to the bottom so that he could shout on the radio: "Encounter

Enemy fighter jets! Two! In area 53! Repeat, encounter enemy fighter jets, in area 53!”

…

"General, German fighter planes have been discovered!" Scott said to Ron, who was sitting on the bridge drinking tea.

"Oh?" Ron stood up, "German fighter jets? Where are they and how many are there?"

"In Area 53, Arthur and the others encountered two German fighter jets." Scott replied.

Ron knew that in the original history, on the whole day of D-Day, the Luftwaffe only dispatched two fw-190s and circled the beach. Not to mention dropping bombs, they did not even shoot with machine guns.

Just do it and go back directly. Could they have encountered these two fighter jets this time?

"Are our fighter jets nearby?" Ron asked as he walked towards the combat command room.

"Yes, the operational staff are mobilizing the fleet. Our fighter jets will arrive in 10 minutes at most. The key is whether our attack aircraft can withstand the 10-minute attack."

"If the opponent is a veteran, it will still be a bit difficult. However, Arthur should be able to withstand it." Ron thought for a while and said.

…

Major Jericho is now one of the few veterans in the Luftwaffe with more than 2,000 flying hours. He joined the Luftwaffe in 1941 and also fought on the Eastern Front. In 1944, with the pressure of German domestic air defense

As he grew older, he followed the troops back to the Western Front and joined the battle to intercept American and British bombers. By this time, Major Jericho was already a super ace with a record of 110 downed aircraft.

The battles on the Western Front are completely different from those on the Eastern Front. Although the battles on the Eastern Front are also brutal, this cruelty is relative to rookies. On the Eastern Front, as long as you have good skills and the right tactics, you can survive. So.

There, veterans and aces can make a good living relying on their skills. But on the Western Front, the situation is completely different. Here, luck replaces skill and becomes the first factor that determines life and death. Here, no matter what your skills are,

How great, when facing hundreds of machine guns, as long as you are unlucky, you will only die.

In just one week, Jericho's unit lost more than 80% of its pilots, including almost all the aces except Jericho. Since then, the activities of his unit have become worse and worse.

There are fewer and fewer coming. This morning, after the news of the enemy's landing came, the flying team was on alert, but their superiors never gave them any combat orders. It was not until noon that they received the order - to Normandy.

Go around and see where the enemies are.

Originally, a reconnaissance plane should be sent to perform this kind of mission. However, considering that the skies over Normandy must be full of American fighter jets, the reconnaissance plane was simply sent to die. Therefore, the army finally decided to send the most experienced Jericho to fly

Went there with the relatively strong, fast and flexible fw-190.

After completing a climb to take up position, Jericho could see clearly that the two enemy planes were not P-38 fighter jets, but a variant of it - a two-seat attack aircraft.

If this was on the Eastern Front, Jericho would definitely rush over immediately and turn the two planes into fireballs. But now, he was a little hesitant - judging from the enemy's random dropping of all the bombs, the enemy had already discovered

themselves. Then they must have been calling for reinforcements through the radio. It won't take long before a large number of enemy planes will come over to watch them.

Of course, Jericho's fighter jets that perform reconnaissance missions will not be equipped with bulky mk-108 cannons. If he wants to attack his opponent, he can only rely on the original four 20mm cannons on his plane to solve the problem. He knows

, this attack-type P-38 is extremely strong, and many key parts can withstand the attack of the 20mm cannon. Hitting it once or twice will not necessarily guarantee the shooting down of the opponent. Once entangled, other fighters will wait.

I came, but there was no good fruit to eat.

According to Goebbels, their ally, the Japanese, had an ace nicknamed "Bandit Skua" who once fought 75 P-51s in a zero-fight, and not only escaped unscathed, but even shot them down.

An American plane. However, even in Germany, basically no one believes what Goebbels said. As a super ace, Jericho sneered at this. If nothing else, just rely on the zero war.

With a low-speed aircraft, how could he avoid the pursuit of the remaining 74 P-51s?

Jericho knew that he would never be able to create such a miracle, so he said to his wingman: "We will launch two rounds of attacks. If we fail to shoot down the enemy, we will retreat immediately."

After saying that, he dived towards the PA-38.

The two-seat PA-38 still has one advantage over its prototype. That is - this aircraft has a 360-degree field of view. The gunner in the back seat can supplement the pilot's lack of rearward field of vision. At this time

, Arthur's machine gunner shouted: "The enemy plane dived down from 6 o'clock!"

Arthur turned back and stared at the enemy plane, constantly judging the distance between the enemy and ourselves. He knew that the roll of the PA-38 was worse than the original one, and he had to start turning now to increase the difficulty of the enemy's attack.

Even an attack aircraft like the PA-38 is better than the German FW-190 in terms of hovering alone. However, the enemy aircraft uses a forward tracking method to follow, and it has a longer distance to complete the turn. Therefore, if it is just

Just by circling, the enemy can still bite him and fire at him.

Therefore, Arthur quickly lowered his altitude while circling. As long as the altitude is low enough, if the enemy plane wants to attack him again, it must circle to his 6 o'clock direction and then follow up, instead of freely following him.

Launch dive from any possible angle.

Jericho followed Arthur around for a small half circle, and he found that Arthur's height dropped quickly. He knew that he had met an old hand. Jericho believed that although this American was very cunning, if he was willing to be patient and patient,

If you just wait with him, you will definitely be able to shoot him down. But Jericho also knows that it will take a long time to shoot down such a veteran - this is not a rookie who can be shot down in two minutes.

Jericho knew that a large group of enemy planes were coming here, and he was short of time.

"Abandon the attack, let's withdraw!" Jericho gave the order to his wingman.

"Why?" The wingman was a little confused.

However, Jericho did not intend to answer his doubts. He just said coldly: "Second Lieutenant, obey the order!"

In fact, Jericho really wanted to say to his wingman, the rookie who had flown for less than 30 hours, "I am doing this to give your mother a chance to see you again."

Bell shouted, "Germany has failed in the war. No matter how many enemy planes you shoot down now, you can't restore this situation. The most important thing now is to save your life and have a chance to go home in the future." Of course, this way

If so, Jericho would not tell him. In fact, no one in the team who understood this would say this to him out of self-preservation. He had to understand it himself.

…

A few minutes later, Boyington personally arrived at Area 53 with 6 P-81s.

"Where are the enemy planes?" Boynton asked.

"He smelled your scent and gave up the attack directly. He ran away to nowhere." Arthur, who continued to successfully maintain the record of never being hit, was obviously in a good mood and went straight to Boyin.

Suddenly he started joking.

"Damn it!" Compared to Arthur, Boyington's mood was obviously not good. He had been staying above the exhibition hall for most of the day, and finally waited for such a goal, but...
Chapter completed!
