Chapter 422: Easy ambush (2/2)
On the same day, two ”battle” planes were all shot down when they attacked German troops in the Netherlands. All of this is just the beginning.
The British found sadly that their bombers were not adapted to war at all.
If you want an ultra-low-altitude ground attack, you must have heavy armor, develop flying tanks like Il-2, hs-129, or use dive bombing like Stuka.
As for the light fast bomber, it is definitely for funny!
The main light fast bomber of the British Air Force in Egypt was buried in the thick smoke, and the 47th bomber squadron hovering in the air has been found to be bad.
When the light bomber got under the black smoke, the sound of piercing and piercing came from the radio. This was a strong interference! Not only are they unable to communicate with the aircraft below, even the communication between them is very difficult.
When the Blenheim bomber circled the densely smoked area, they discovered that this area was too large, far exceeding the area of the oil field itself several times.
At this time, Squadron Captain Stoke already knew that the situation was not good, and there was a problem below!
How to do? Continue bombing?
No, there are weird everywhere here, it is better to return first!
When Stoke circled the dense smoke area twice, and still couldn't wait for the ”combat” bomber below, he had decided not to wait any longer, but to return first and wait for information from the intelligence system!
However, the radio is no longer sensitive ~~ so he had to shake the wing to remind the bombers behind to pay attention, and follow his actions!
The origin of the Blenheim bomber is very special, and it is not the same as other bombers.
In 1934, Sir Rothermere, the owner of the Daily Mail, wanted the Bristol Company to design and build an aircraft capable of carrying six passengers and two crew members. Used to surpass various record-breaking high-speed aircraft such as the German Henkel he70.
This kind of aircraft made its first flight in 35 years and immediately showed outstanding performance, especially in terms of speed performance, which reached an astonishing record of 498km/h.
Therefore, Sir Rothermere proposed to the British Air Force to convert the aircraft to military use. In this way, the British light twin-engine bomber with fairly good performance before World War II was born.
This is a three-person bomber. The pilot sits on the nose, and the navigator and bomber sits on the nose. At the back, a bubble cockpit is added to accommodate a machine gunner and has an omnidirectional view.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the machine gunner is backwards, taking care of his own back hemisphere.
At this moment, the machine gunner Allen sitting in the bubble cockpit was looking bored at the clear sky high above, and then his eyes suddenly widened.
A bright spot of silver light quickly swooped down from high altitude!
It must be an enemy plane, and there is no fighter to **** it!
In his field of vision, the plane was flying over quickly, and he was surprised to see that this plane had no propellers!
At this moment, he was so surprised that he did not sound the alarm at all, nor did he operate his twin-mounted 7.7mm machine gun. In his mind, there was only one thought, no propeller, what kind of monster is that airplane? ? Is it from an alien?
