It wasn't until the two PA-38s started firing rockets that the Germans discovered them, but at this time it was too late to react. When the Germans saw the orange-red flames rushing toward the train, even

The person with the fastest reaction could only jump off the flatbed truck at most. But before the person with such quick reaction could hit the ground, the rocket hit the target.

The German anti-aircraft guns were simply mounted on flat trucks. In the explosion of rockets, some smaller anti-aircraft guns, such as the four-unit 20mm anti-aircraft gun and the two-unit 37mm anti-aircraft gun, were inflated by the explosion.

The wave was thrown up and then hit the ground heavily not far away. The heavier and larger 88mm anti-aircraft gun was pushed onto the flatbed truck, then rolled over and fell halfway to the ground.

The two anti-aircraft vehicles at the rear of the train also suffered the same blow. 12 rockets fired at close range turned the two anti-aircraft vehicles into a sea of ​​​​fire, but unlike the front of the train, perhaps it was for faster launch speed.

Faster and more convenient. The Germans piled them up next to the 88mm anti-aircraft gun at the rear of the car.

Several boxes of "special illumination bombs". A rocket hit these boxes with almost no chance of death. The thin steel skin of the shell was easily torn open, and the magnesium powder mixed with oxidizer inside suddenly burned violently.

He got up, and then the "special flares" in several other boxes were also ignited and exploded.

The person responsible for attacking the anti-aircraft gun truck at the rear of the vehicle was the senior pilot Captain Prick. This sudden explosion was completely unexpected to him. The violent flash when the boxes of "special illumination bombs" exploded made his eyes go white.

He couldn't see anything! Fortunately, Prick was a senior pilot. In the previous battles, although he was nothing special,

Excellent performance, but it can be regarded as rich experience. In addition, on the way to the target, the command center reminded them on the radio that the Germans used a bright light blinding ammunition. So for this situation,

He was not completely unprepared. So although he was a little panicked, he still held the operating rod firmly and began to climb slightly.

"Paul, I can't see!" Prick shouted, "come and help me look at the instrument."

"Night Heron No. 2 is calling the Dark Council, I can't see my eyes!" Prick called to the command center again.

…

"General, another plane has been hit, and the pilot has lost his vision." A staff officer reported to Ron, "It is a PA-38 attack plane, and the pilot is Captain Prick, an experienced old pilot.

.”

"Let another PA-38 attack plane follow him and use radio to guide him to fly to the base. If he still cannot recover his eyesight when he returns to the airport, arrange for them to parachute." Ron said, "Also, let me and him fly

Talk on the phone."

…

"Hello, Prick, this is Ron." A calm voice came from Prick's earphones, and Pratt could tell that it was the voice of Wing Commander Ron.

"General, I can't see," Prick said.

"Prick, don't be nervous. I know you are an experienced pilot. You can handle this kind of thing. Trust me, you will recover soon. And you will be able to fly over the areas we control soon.

Even if there is any problem, we have a complete set of plans to deal with it, which will definitely ensure your safety. The most important thing for you now is to stay calm." Ron's voice came from the earphones again.

"Thank you, General, we will come back safely." Prick said.

"Well, we are all waiting for you to return home safely."

…

Just as Prick was flying back with difficulty, Matt's AC-47 was killing people. Now that the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower had been completely destroyed, the AC-47 attack aircraft simply turned on the searchlight and directly used

The searchlight illuminated the military column, and then the 40mm cannon opened fire violently on the train.

The top priority target was of course the power nose. Several 40mm shells easily penetrated the huge boiler of the steam locomotive, and a large amount of steam leaked out. The roaring sound of high-pressure steam rushing out from the damaged parts was even heard.

It can be heard clearly from several kilometers away.

Another power locomotive soon suffered the same fate. Now, it is only a matter of time before this train is completely destroyed...

"Everyone get off the train!" the conductor Matra shouted.

"Our people are all leaving," SS officer Major Harry said to the Matra commander. "Now, we are leaving too. We have to move quickly. Although we don't have the kerosene and liquid oxygen on the vehicle,

We have to run quickly."

"Are you sure everyone else has left?" Matra asked.

"Yes, I'm sure!" said Major Harry.

Matra turned around, jumped off the railway, rolled along the roadbed, and ran towards the nearby woods.

"Wait for me!" Major Harry shouted and jumped down too.

…

The ac-47 continued to shoot the train with its 40mm cannon. At this time, the problem of the ac-47's insufficient lethality against such a large target was exposed. Although Matt's ac-47 fired every car with a 40mm cannon.

Several rounds were fired. However, although the penetration power of the 40-mm cannon was strong, the explosion damage was very limited. Whether these few rounds of shells completely destroyed everything in the carriage, Matt had no idea at all.

"Maybe we need a larger gunship, such as using a C-54 transport aircraft to modify it. This thing is bigger, and maybe a 75mm or even a 105mm howitzer can be mounted on it. This will be more effective in combat operations.

When targeting such a target, it is much more effective than a 40mm gun."

The ac-47 is not without bombs, but as an attack aircraft improved from a transport aircraft, its bomb delivery accuracy is much worse than those of genuine attack aircraft. In order to destroy the railway just now, Matt's ac-47 lost all his bombs.

bomb.

"It's a pity that we can't use rockets either." said the co-pilot Lawrence. It seemed that he had similar thoughts to Matt.

But it's useless to think about it now, no one can conjure these things out of thin air.

Fortunately, there was a B-25 bomber nearby. After the AC-47 illuminated the military column with its searchlight, the B-25 began to adjust its course, preparing to give it the most fatal blow.

At this moment, several shells suddenly hit the lower right side of the AC-47 attack aircraft. One of the shells hit the belly of the AC-47. This shell tore the belly of the AC-47 open.

There was a large hole two meters long and nearly one meter wide. The gunner Jimmy standing nearby was hit in the head by a flying aluminum plate - the aluminum plate almost split his head in half - and died on the spot.

"German night fighter!" Matt immediately steered the plane into a sharp turn, while Lawrence hurriedly turned off the searchlight.

But now, the enemy plane is very close to him, and it is not that easy to get rid of it. Lawrence knows that the enemy's night fighter is equipped with very powerful aerial cannons, and if it is hit by such a shell again, his plane will probably

I can't fly back.

"Throw the foil!" Matt ordered.

Throwing aluminum foil in the air is a common method to counteract radar. If the enemy's radar is interfered with, there is still a high possibility of getting rid of the enemy's visual contact in the dark night.

However, these measures did not seem to have much effect, and the enemy planes still followed. They continued to attack the AC-47 from behind with their 20mm cannon.

Medic Peter rushed to the tail gun position and began to fire back with the 12.7 mm machine gun mounted there.

But obviously, Peter was not a professional, and his shooting was completely random. The opponent's shooting accuracy was much higher than him. Several 20-mm shells hit the tail of the AC-47 attack aircraft. One of them hit the target.

Peter's chest almost smashed him into pieces. What's even worse is that a 20mm shell hit the left engine, and the engine burst into flames.

Seeing the flames rising from the engine, Matt knew that it was impossible for him to escape the enemy's attack. The burning flames were the best indicator, and the AC-47 attack aircraft was an attack aircraft modified from a transport aircraft.

, its flight performance is quite average, and there is no possibility of getting rid of the low level by flying.

"Get ready to skydive! Skydive!" Matt shouted as he unbuckled his seat belt. The few people who could still move fastened their parachutes. Matt worked hard to stabilize the plane and dodge the enemy plane's attacks as much as possible.

.At the same time, his teammates jumped out of the hatch one after another.

After seeing Lawrence also jump out, Matt let go of the steering wheel, rushed to the hatch in two steps, and then jumped down suddenly.

After falling in the air for a while, Matt opened the parachute. Speaking of parachuting at night, there is also an advantage, that is, you never have to worry about someone coming to shoot the parachute. Matt looked up and saw that his AC-47 was heading towards the sky with flames.

It flew away into the distance, and behind it, there were still cannonballs with tracers shooting at it. Obviously, in the dark night, the enemy plane did not notice that everyone had jumped out of the parachute.

"Damn Germans!" Matt cursed secretly, and then he began to worry about his teammates. They parachuted in the German-controlled area, and the situation on the ground was completely unknown. They really didn't know where they would fall.

…

At this time, the unmanned AC-47 suddenly exploded. Matt saw that the wings of the aircraft were broken into two pieces in the explosion, and the fuselage turned into countless flaming fragments, scattered one after another.

Come down, like fireworks.

At this time, he saw another flame rising not far away. Judging from its position, Matt determined that it was the German night fighter that had just shot down them. Obviously, it was it.

The engine on one side caught fire. Then Matt saw another string of shells hitting the German night fighter with flames.
Chapter completed!
