Chapter 254 Fox Reynard's Trap

As the Mosquito reconnaissance bomber went away, Lindbergh understood that the enemy fighter jets were about to appear. However, the enemy fighter jets appeared so quickly, which was beyond his expectation. He looked towards the 1 o'clock direction.

Sure enough, he saw several shining bright spots. After a while, as the distance got closer, Lindbergh recognized them as four P-51D fighter jets.

The paint on the US military's P-51 fighter jets has been washed away, directly revealing the true color of the silver shiny aluminum. This reduces the weight of the aircraft and improves its performance to a certain extent. Of course, this also makes the US aircraft become

It is very conspicuous and can be seen from a long distance. However, the Americans do not care about this. In fact, this "flaw" is simply a way for the Americans to show off their absolute air supremacy: so what if you discover it? Kind of

Come up and fight me!

Lindbergh knew that these four planes were probably not sent by the American and British troops after receiving the telegram - their reaction speed could not have been so fast. These guys must have happened to pass by here. But these four planes were also sent to the airport.

Threats, Lindbergh must expel them to ensure the smooth takeoff of other fighters.

The four P-51D fighter jets did not seem to notice Lindbergh. Lindbergh and the others were currently at an altitude of around 6,500 meters. At such a height, they would not be able to pull out of the track. Coupled with the cover of the sun, the Americans did not notice it.

They were normal. However, the four P-51ds obviously discovered the other four BF-109k4 fighters at a lower altitude of about 4,000 meters. So the four P-51ds began to turn, and they pulled

Make a big circle, prepare to circle to the east of the four BF-109s, and then launch a dive from the angle of the sun to shoot down those BF-109s.

"Leena 3, pay attention to the 6 o'clock direction, maintain the direction and accelerate slowly. Pay attention to my instructions." Lindbergh issued instructions to the BF-109k4 fighters that were still at a lower position.

"Lenna" is the most cunning fox in German folklore. In the legend, it has repeatedly gained the upper hand from strong men such as tigers and lions. Now, the Germans give the first batch of flying foxes

The -109k4 fighter jet has such a name. Of course, it is hoped that its fighter can be like Fox Lena, and can rely on its own maneuverability to take advantage when facing powerful opponents.

At this time, the four P-51Ds had already turned to the 6 o'clock direction of the "Lenna"s who were in a lower position, and then violently rolled the lever and dived down. This was a classic sneak attack tactic, starting from the 6 o'clock position

Dive down from a high place, then pull up from below 6 o'clock - this position is an absolute visual blind spot for fighter jets - rely on the high speed gained from the dive to quickly approach the target and shoot it down with fire.

This script was executed very well until the Americans dived down. Apart from increasing their speed in the horizontal direction, the Germans showed no signs of discovering the American aircraft. But just as the Americans

After diving down, these aircraft suddenly increased their power and began to climb at a large angle.

"They probably found us when we were diving down?" Captain Simon, who was leading the team, thought, "But these Germans are really stupid. They actually wanted to get rid of us by climbing up. How is this possible?

Yes, at this altitude, the bf-109 has a clear climbing advantage over the p-51d, but this advantage is based on the premise that the initial energy of both parties is equal. And now we are diving down from a higher position.

Yes, our current energy is much higher than theirs. Under such circumstances, how can they escape from our attack by climbing? They only know how to follow the dogma without analyzing it in detail. This is a common problem among rookies.

ah."

The situation was just as Captain Simon expected. They successfully caught the German BF-109 while climbing. Although these BF-109 climbed very fast, much faster than Simon expected, the Americans still died.

They bite the 6 points of these BF-109s and get closer and closer.

But at this moment, Simon felt an inexplicable uneasiness: "These German pilots can make the BF-109's climb performance so good, how can they be rookies?" The highest climb rate of an aircraft is not human.

Anyone can climb it. Flying the same fighter plane and the same initial conditions, an experienced bird can easily surpass a rookie in climbing. If it is the kind of super rookie with a total flight time of less than 20 hours, then they

Even if you are driving a bf-109g6, you will probably not be able to climb the P-51 driven by a veteran. But now, the climbing performance of these bf-109s is definitely not something that rookies can accomplish. They give Simon the feeling that they were like those of more than a year ago.

Those top German pilots.

"There must be something wrong with this!" Simon looked around alertly, and suddenly he saw something flashing in the direction of the sun...

Lindbergh certainly knew that no matter how good the climb rate of the bf-109k4 was, it would not be possible to climb over the P-51 in this situation. There was a reason why he made such a decision.

When climbing at an angle, the speed of both the German BF-109K4 and the American P-51D will drop rapidly. At this time, he and his wingmen will dive down from a high altitude to attack those who are consumed during the climb.

P-51d had absorbed too much energy. Now the situation was as he expected.

Simon spotted Lindbergh's BF-109, which was charging straight towards him, but he had no time to dodge, and his plane had consumed too much energy during the climb and now seemed very clumsy. This left him with just enough time to make a move.

He was hit while rolling. Several 20mm shells hit his plane, which emitted black smoke and then burst into flames.

"I'm going to parachute!" Simon shouted on the radio, hurriedly opened the canopy and jumped out.

At the same time that Simon was shot down, Lindbergh's wingman also completed an attack. The 20mm shells he fired did not cause particularly great damage to the P-51d. Those shells only drilled two holes in the wings.

It was just a hole. But a 30mm shell fired by his MK-108 directly tore off the vertical tail of the P-51.

Of course, the P-51 without its vertical tail couldn't continue to fight, so the pilot on the P-51 had to parachute. Parachuting over a German airport, well, basically the only way to be captured.

Now the situation has suddenly turned over. After losing two P-51s, the numerical ratio between the two sides has become 6:2. Even the most confident pilots can only retreat when faced with such a numerical comparison.

. So the remaining two P-51s immediately gave up the pursuit of the BF-109, and immediately turned into a dive, trying to escape by relying on the high speed brought by the dive.

If the bf-109 has certain advantages over the p-51 in climbing, then the p-51 also has an advantage over the bf-109 in diving. Compared with the bf-109, the p-51's body structure is stronger.

Therefore, it can reach higher speeds during dives. And its nearly perfect aerodynamic shape gives it unparalleled controllability at high speeds. Therefore, dive escape is a good way.

In fact, after seeing the decisive actions of the American pilots, Lindbergh knew that he would definitely not be able to catch up with them. Although the speed of the bf-109k4 was not necessarily bad, it was not a wise idea to fight the P-51 in the high-speed section.

Choice, because the high-speed control of the bf-109k4 is too poor, and the wing compression effect makes it very difficult for it to perform a simple hover at high speed. Besides, its mission itself does not allow it to pursue long-distance pursuits.

So Lindbergh stopped the pursuit of other aircraft. He still kept the other four BF-109k4 fighters at an altitude of about 4,000 meters, while he took his wingman to climb to an altitude of about 6,000 meters in one breath - if possible, in

It's not bad to use this trap to kill a few American planes.

At this time, the ground was already illuminated by the sun, and the BF-109g fighter jets and FW-190a fighter jets began to slowly slide towards the runway. The rookies were about to take off. This is the most critical moment, this is the German army

The most dangerous moment.

The first BF-109G10 fighter jet had already begun taxiing on the runway. Soon it reached take-off speed. The pilot pulled the control lever and the aircraft slowly left the ground. At this time, Lindbergh saw something.

A large group of enemy planes are approaching from the west.



What rushed to the scene this time was not the fighter unit of the Ninth Air Force, but the P-81 fighter jets of the 21st Attack Air Force. After judging that the German army was about to launch a large-scale attack, especially through the analysis of the German code

After deciphering and learning that the German Air Force planned to use 1,000 fighter jets to play a big game, Ron couldn't stay in Portsmouth. Because the 21st Attack Wing also has a fighter squadron, they will definitely be put into it.

In an air battle. In such a big air battle, it is best for the fighter unit to have an old ace commanding it in the air. In the past, this work was done by Boedon, but now, Boedon needs to stay on the ground to organize the entire air battle.

The coalition's operations. And Ron felt that his current situation was enough to complete the task of commanding on the ground. So based on his application, the superiors approved him to return to the front line in advance to command this critical battle.

Ron's return made Bodenton extremely happy, because it meant that he could go to heaven again to improve his record. Early that morning, they received news from the British army. A certain German airport near Paris

Six German fighter planes were spotted in the sky. Ron immediately realized that the German counterattack was imminent. As soon as it was fully lighted, the German fighter planes would take off in large numbers, so he immediately decided to combine a fighter squadron and a squadron in his hand.

The light bomber squadron was immediately dispatched to attack the German airfield in order to pin down the Luftwaffe at their airfield. What appeared in front of Lindbergh now was a fighter squadron led by Boeing himself - a total of 24 P-

81 fighter! And behind them, six minutes away from them, a B-25 bomber squadron was also loaded with ammunition and rushed towards the airport. Boeing's current mission is to eliminate all possible threats within six minutes.
Chapter completed!
