() Just when the AC-47 was about to drop flares again, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun on the train opened fire first. Of course, the approximate position of the aircraft can be judged only by relying on the series of flares dropped by the AC-47.

There is no precision in the shooting. However, the 88mm anti-aircraft guns installed by the Germans are not anti-personnel ammunition at all, but only flares.

However, there is a big difference between these flares and the flares dropped by AC-47. The burning speed of magnesium in the flares dropped by the aircraft is controlled to a certain extent to maintain a longer glow time and facilitate observation. But now it is fired from the 88 gun

It's special for her to go out

Illuminating bombs use technical means to increase the burning speed of magnesium, so that the magnesium powder in the charge burns out almost instantly to emit a brighter light. In fact, this special illuminating bomb can no longer be called an illuminating bomb, but should be called an illuminating bomb.

Dazzling bombs, even flash blinding bombs.

These dazzling bombs fired by the Germans exploded behind the AC-47 attack aircraft. The strong flash suddenly made the self-defense machine gunner Sean's eyes turn white. This white color could not recede.

Even if he closed his eyes, his eyes were still filled with white flowers.

"I can't see, I can't see anything!" tail self-defense machine gunner Sean screamed, and the miserable voice echoed in the cabin.

The strong flash just now also shone into the cabin through the open deck, illuminating the cabin in white. Even the pilot and co-pilot, who had their backs to the direction of the flash, were illuminated into the cabin and then reflected from the cockpit glass.

The little light that came back made my eyes dazzled.

"Damn it! This damn thing will make it impossible for us to attack. What should we do?" Captain Matt said.

"Maybe we should give up our main attack position and attract their attention. Maybe other planes are already on the way, and this flash of light will definitely attract them. Then maybe they will have the opportunity to attack from the other side.

." Co-pilot Lawrence replied, "Also, when approaching the target, if you see the muzzle flash of the 88-gun, it may be a good idea to close your eyes and turn your face immediately."

"That's all for now," Matt said, and then he yelled, "Peter, you idiot! How's Sean's eye doing?"

"It's sore and painful, and I still can't see clearly." Sean replied,

"p

"It's okay, he will be fine on his own," medic Peter replied, "but it will take at least an hour to fully recover. Captain, you need a new tail gunner for the time being."

…

If the flash bombs fired by the 88 gun made the American AC-47 attack planes mess up, then the German BF-110 night fighter secretly following them suffered an even greater loss.

.

The first 88mm flash bomb exploded less than 200 meters in front of the BF-110. The sudden explosion of the flash bomb made the pilot Luther blind.

Fortunately, the radar operator behind, Chris, was lowering his head and playing with the radar at that time, so his eyes were not affected and he could still see things.

"I can't see anything! God! Chris, help me look at the instruments! Give up the mission, let's return!" Luther yelled, "Look at the instruments, don't look outside!"

"Okay Captain!" Chris stretched his neck as hard as he could and looked at the front seat.

"Captain! The angle you pulled up is a bit too big! Push it down... Okay, just keep it like this. Okay, now you can turn to the right, and move a little smaller..."

"Damn it! The Army has such a thing, and they didn't even notify us in advance! These bastards!" Luther relied on the reminders of his teammates to keep flying, while scolding those cheating guys in the Army.

…

The guys on the AC-47 had no idea that they had just escaped the tracking of a night fighter with the help of the Germans. Now they were reporting the relevant situation to their superiors at a safe distance while quietly waiting for the friendly aircraft to arrive.

arrival.

…

"General, the Germans have played a new trick!" Scott handed a message to Ron, who was taking a nap. Nowadays, we rarely encounter any big changes, so sometimes when there is no big action,

Ron will also be lazy.

"Let me take a look." Ron took the message and read it. Obviously, this new trick of the Germans exceeded Ron's expectations, which made him feel a little troubled for a moment. He frowned and then stood up.

"Let's go to the war room." Ron said as he walked, "Let them drop bombs in front and behind the railway first, destroy the railway, and stop the military train!" The train must move on the rails, which is its greatest limitation.

Weakness. Destroy the railway, trap it, and then it'll be easy.

"Are there any aircraft operating nearby?" Ron asked as soon as he entered the war room.

"General, there are two PA-38s that will arrive in three minutes, and a B-25 that will arrive in five minutes," a staff officer replied.

"Well, good." Ron said, "Order the AC-47 crew to destroy the railway first. After completing the damage to the railway, drop a flare every 30 seconds from a higher altitude. After other aircraft are in place,

The AC-47 attack aircraft coordinates other aircraft to jointly launch attacks."

The AC-47 attack aircraft is the largest and has the most personnel. Because there are sufficient personnel, it is most appropriate for them to coordinate.

"Once all aircraft are in position, the PA-38 should turn to the opposite side of the AC-47 and reduce the throttle to avoid detection by the enemy. The B-25 should first increase the throttle, make more noise, and then move on the opposite side of the AC-47.

hover around the target at a safe altitude to cover other aircraft

The AC-47 should take on the task of feinting and use its cannon to attract the enemy's attention. The two PA-38s should take the opportunity to attack the anti-aircraft vehicle of the military column with rockets." Ron quickly issued the order, and these

The order was also quickly transmitted to the combat aircraft via radio waves.

…

"Report! Enemy planes dropped bombs on the railway ahead. The road may be damaged." A soldier reported to the train conductor Matra.

"Slow down! Stop!" Matta gave the order. The huge train began to slow down slowly, and the steel wheels rubbed a series of sparks on the rails, and finally the train stopped.

"Go down and take a look at the damage to the road," Matra said to several train staff.

Several staff members jumped out of the car and ran forward. After a while, these people ran back again.

"Captain, a section of the track in front was blown off. There is also a pit more than three meters in diameter and more than one meter deep on the roadbed."

"All emergency repair personnel gather for emergency repairs." Matra ordered, shaking his head.

"Captain, what's wrong? Why did the train stop?" An SS officer with a major's shoulder straps came over.

"Major Harry, I was just looking for you. The railway in front was bombed and damaged. Now we must repair the railway before we can continue to move forward. This will take at least an hour. During this period, we will be easily attacked by the enemy.

.Your troops must be prepared for air defense. In addition, I am worried that my repairmen will be attacked by guerrillas, so I need your soldiers to protect them while they repair the railway."

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Major Harry understood the danger of the current situation and turned around to leave without saying anything.

"Ah, Major Harry, the enemy may air attack us at any time. Before the railway is repaired, except for necessary personnel, it is best for everyone to leave the train." Matra added.

"Okay, you are the conductor, I listen to you." Major Harry raised his hand and saluted the conductor, then turned and left. After a while, Matra saw a large group of soldiers jumping out of the carriage and scattering around.

open.

At this time, above their heads, there was the roar of aircraft engines. Judging from the sound, the enemy seemed to be circling around them. At the same time, illumination bombs were thrown down one by one.

At this time, the 88mm anti-aircraft gun on the train also fired, firing flash bombs into the sky. Under the strong light of these flash bombs, the enemy plane appeared. Major Harry recognized it almost at a glance.

When it came out, it was an AC-47 attack aircraft.

The ac-47 attack aircraft looks very similar to the c-47 transport aircraft. It is actually not easy to distinguish the two. At the beginning, the Germans suffered a lot because of this. The more such losses were suffered, the more the Germans naturally grew.

Remember, almost every German now

Everyone will receive this kind of education: "When you see a transport aircraft, especially one flying at low altitude, you must be more careful. It might be an AC-47!" And the things that look like transport aircraft appearing around the train are definitely AC-47.

47 attack aircraft.

So the two 88 guns in tandem turned their muzzles towards it, and as long as it got a little closer, they would fire flash bombs at it. Because all German gunners knew that there was a gun in the AC-47's cabin.

The 40mm machine gun relies on its height advantage. The gun's

The range is far superior to the 37mm cannon installed by the Germans on a flatbed truck. If they cannot continue to interfere with it, the Americans can take advantage of its range advantage and first use the 40mm machine gun to sweep all anti-aircraft fire.

Then he recklessly used bombs to blow up the entire military column.

However, the Germans did not notice that due to the continuous explosion of flash bombs, the entire train was also illuminated. In the darkness on the other side, two PA-38 attack aircraft were adjusting their engines to idle speed, quietly
