A series of shells flew out of the nose and wings of Heathfield's FW-190D, and then hit the P-81 fighter in front hard.

"Damn it!" Listening to the crackling sound coming from the fuselage, Hughes knew that the guy behind was definitely a veteran. In this moment, he had been hit by at least seven or eight 20mm shells. If he had been piloting

Is it a P-51 or something thin like a Spitfire?

It's a big stuffed thing, so I'm afraid there will be fireworks on the spot. But even a guy like P-81, who is known as "air-cooled and thick-skinned", can't be unscathed when he comes into contact with such a guy. Hughes saw

, the thrust of the rear engine dropped significantly, and it was obviously damaged.

On the other side, Heathfield also felt quite depressed. Damn it, was that a tank flying in front of him? He had already hit it with more than ten rounds of 13mm machine gun bullets and seven or eight rounds of 20mm artillery shells. This plane actually hit it.

It was just that some small pieces fell out, but the propeller at the back was still spinning. At this time,

Heathfield really misses his fw-190a4. If he is driving a fw-190a4 now, with four 20mm cannons and two external mk-108s, such a distance, such a fierce one

With long bursts of fire, even if the thing flying ahead is really a tank, you can knock it down yourself.

Hughes rolled to the right, then pulled the stick and dived. Due to the influence of the torque of the propeller, the general fighter plane always rolls to the left faster than to the right, so when under attack, most pilots are accustomed to turning to the left.

Make a sharp turn to get rid of the opponent. Because it is much faster to complete a sharp turn to the left than to complete a sharp turn to the right. But because the P-81 has two propellers, one in front and one in the rear, the propeller belt

The incoming torques cancel each other out, so the roll rate is the same whether it is to the left or right. Therefore, almost all pilots, after flying the P-81, the first flying habit that needs to be changed is -

When under attack, you must turn sharply to the right. Because most enemy aircraft roll to the right slower than the P-81, by the time they complete a 90-degree roll to the right, the P-81 has already turned some distance away.

But this time, Hughes clearly felt that the roll of his aircraft was much slower than before. It was impossible to get rid of the FW-190, which is famous for its fast roll, at such a roll speed. Could he really

Going skydiving? How embarrassing!

Just as Hughes expected, Heathfield easily kept up with his movements. Heathfield once again put his opponent into the shooting halo, and then pressed the shooting button fiercely. However, this time, things were different.

It was not as he expected - the two machine guns did not fire, and the two machine guns only fired twice and then became mute.

"Damn! No more bullets!" Heathfield was so angry that he wanted to smash the sight in front of him. He slid sideways to give up the attack position and said to his wingman: "You attack!"

However, this process gave Hughes the most precious time. Now that Hughes' plane has entered a dive, it will not be so easy to catch him. What's more terrible is that they have also been attacked by other p-

81 stared.

Boynton was the first to react. At that time, he had just shot down a BF-109G. When he pulled up the plane, he saw that his subordinates were attacked and the plane was damaged. At the same time, he also heard Hugh's voice on the radio.

Si's cry for help. So he immediately made a sharp turn and dived towards the enemy plane, and his wingman followed him and dived towards the opponent.

Heathfield's move of giving up the attacking position to his wingman saved his life, but it put his wingman in danger. When his wingman entered the attacking position, Boynton naturally placed his target.

arrived on his wingman. At this time, a fw-190 series fighter

This flaw affected them again. Like almost all German fighter jets, the field of vision of the FW-190 series fighters was quite limited, especially the rear vision, which was a mess. So when the Boynton crew dived down from behind them,

At that time, no one noticed it.

If the German rookie pilots around could have seen it. If they had more experience, they would have alerted Heathfield at this time. Unfortunately, they are just rookies and are now under attack by the Americans.

There is chaos below. Those who are under attack

Of course, the guys didn't bother to remind them. Even those guys who were not actually under attack thought they were being attacked because of panic. Therefore, no one else warned Heathfield and the others. In this way, the hunter responded to

He has become a prey and knows nothing about it.

Heathfield's wingman Evans was trying hard to catch the clumsy enemy plane. Since in the battle with the P-51d just now, his fighter plane did not serve as the main attack mission, so his cannonballs were not effective.

There is a small balance, so even if the distance is still

If it is not close enough, he will also use the higher-precision 13mm machine gun on the nose to fire a few short bursts from time to time. This can further cause damage to the enemy aircraft, and secondly, it can also bring greater psychological shock to the enemy pilots.

The pressure caused him to make wrong actions in panic.

But at this time, although Hughes was still very ashamed, he was not panicked at all because he had heard Boyington's voice on the radio.

"Attract him and let me shoot him down!"

While talking to Hughes, Boyington quickly approached his prey. Under the push and pull of the two high-power engines, Boyington's P-81 had reached a speed of nearly 900 kilometers per hour during the dive.

At this speed of a general fighter aircraft, the wing compression effect will cause its control performance to decline.

It dropped completely. But due to the use of laminar flow wings, swept wings, wing blades and other technologies, the control performance of the P-81 at such speeds has almost not declined at all. The high speed itself is not necessarily terrible, just

Like in the history of Ron's original time and space, the last of the German BF-109 series fighters

A modified version of the bf-109k14 has reached a top speed of over 760 kilometers per hour in level flight, far exceeding the US military's P-51d. However, the significance of this top speed is very limited because it does not use the wing of the bf-109k14 with layered wings.

and the control surface on the tail wing have not yet reached such speed.

At high speed, it has almost lost its effectiveness due to the severe airfoil compression effect. The bf-109k14 flying at a speed of more than 700 kilometers is actually just a manned rocket that can only run in a straight line. But once

When high speed and control performance are combined, it will be extremely terrifying.

Just like now, with a speed nearly 200 kilometers per hour higher than his opponent, Boyington quickly approached the opponent's rear, but the P-81's excellent high-speed control performance allowed him to steadily control the opponent.

into the shooting aperture.

Boynton lowered a flap to slow down a little so he could have longer shooting time. Then he started firing at the fw-190d.

Six 20mm rotary cannons spewed deadly flames at their victims. In just one second, about 100 20mm shells were fired. Because the American 20mm rotary cannon fired

The shells have a higher muzzle velocity than the German 20mm cannon or even the Americans' own .50-caliber aviation machine gun, so

This artillery also has surprisingly good accuracy. At least a quarter of the hundred rounds hit the opponent. Although the fw-190d is also a relatively strong fighter, it has more than twenty 20 mm rounds.

The lethality of the shells was not something this kind of aircraft could withstand. One of its wings was cut off in half, and black smoke began to emit from the aircraft.

Boynton pulled up his fighter plane. If any enemy plane did not explode in his own air, the wingman following him would definitely follow up and use a burst of fire to distract the plane.

However, Boyington's wingman did not get such an opportunity. Because when he was about to add a few more rounds, the plane suddenly exploded into pieces.

"It's not too late, not too early, but at this time, this is a fallacy!" Matthews, Boynton's wingman, couldn't help but cursed in his heart. If the plane exploded a little later, he could have made up two more shots.

, have fun; if the plane exploded earlier, I would still have time to change the target and attack.

The wingman was set off with fireworks in an instant, which startled Heathfield. He quickly made a barrel roll to avoid a possible attack on him. When he was sure that he had not been bitten, Heathfield found himself

His body was covered with sweat, and his hand holding the operating lever was shaking slightly.

After turning the corner, Hughes now had time to check his aircraft carefully. The power of the rear engine had dropped by about 20%. In addition, he did not dare to put a greater load on the rear engine and could only reduce the load.

flow valve, which results in the output power of the rear engine actually being less than a fraction of that of the intact state.

The vertical tail of the aircraft was hit by several 13mm bullets, and the rudder was damaged. At the same time, the left aileron was also seriously damaged, which caused the aircraft's roll rate to drop a lot. Fortunately, through the dive, his fighter still gained

The very high speed was enough to ensure that he could get away from other German fighters and return home.

Under the continuous attacks, the rookie pilots of the Luftwaffe finally collapsed. They began to ignore previous military orders and fled. But in this era, which propeller fighter can escape the pursuit of the P-81

What? In the end, Boynton took his

Fighters achieved a great victory. They shot down thirty-four enemy planes in one go, and they only paid the price of one fighter plane being seriously injured and four planes being slightly injured. At the same time, several other airports
