Chapter 1335： An Cruz was hit (1/2)
When the FW190 began to climb, its frontal projection area became larger, and An Cruz incorrectly estimated the opponent’s location. As a result, only a rain of bullets composed of Yi-15 machine gun bullets covered the FW190. On the wing, on the fuselage!
The long range of the FW190 has been carefully designed. For example, even the wings have fuel tanks to increase the fuel capacity. Now, when a bullet hits the fuel tank, according to reason, the most spectacular scene will appear.
In order to make the engine more powerful, it needs high-grade fuel. Historically, Germany has used No. 87 B4 fuel for most of the time. After all, German gasoline is converted from coal, and its octane rating is not Will be too high.
But now it’s different. Libya’s oil fields alone are enough to supply German war machines, not to mention the huge oil reserves in the Middle East. Germany’s fuel technology is also improving. Now almost all aircraft use No. 100. Fuel and even newer aircraft are already using No. 130.
(Check the information, the most powerful aircraft during World War II actually used 150 fuel? I don't know whether it is true or not.
This high-performance fuel is more volatile and easier to ignite. Even a Soviet fighter jet will definitely catch fire after being hit by a bullet in the fuel tank.
However, Alexander was disappointed.
When his bullet hit the opponent's wing and fuselage, only the bullet hole of the bullet was left. At most, in the sun, he saw a small amount of gasoline volatilizing, and then there was nothing left.
In fact, the principle is also very simple. It is to add a layer of rubber interlayer to the inner lining of the fuel tank. When a small hole is opened by the bullet, the rubber will recover due to its elasticity, blocking the hole, and leaving a small hole at most. It’s just a gap.
It's like a nail in the tire of a car, and it will only slowly leak, but not all of the light. Of course, if it is a large-caliber cannon, a big hole will be blasted all at once. There is nothing I can do.
An Cruz felt that his fuselage had been shot. He didn't know how serious it was at this time. He looked at the dashboard in front of him. The machine gun bullets were almost empty, so he could only open the throttle. Continue to rise to high altitude, for him, the battle is over, he needs to return to his aircraft carrier.
Leave the remaining bombers to others to solve!
The German fighter jets have an overwhelming advantage. The Soviet bomber formation is destined to come and go. If there are more of them, such as a few hundred at a time, which is what they originally planned, then they must There will be fish that slip through the net and enter the sky over the German navy fleet.
But now, with only two dozen, it is destined to be a tragedy.
In the sky, one after another fireballs were constantly soaring. When new waves of fighter jets taking off from the aircraft carrier arrived, the Soviets had no hope.
”The course is correct. We will reach the target sea area in about twenty minutes.” At this time, when the air battle was fierce, no one noticed a lonely Iraqi plane more than 100 nautical miles away from the battlefield. The Il-4 bomber is flying.
At this time, its flight was a bit crooked.
Kozlov tried hard to control his body, but his nerves paralyzed by alcohol reacted very slowly. For example, just now, he accidentally squinted and pressed his body on the control stick. The plane actually dived down, almost He fell into the sea. Fortunately, the window was opened and the cold wind woke him up, so he pulled the plane up.
This caused the remaining two crew members to squeeze a cold sweat. Fortunately, after flying for more than an hour, Kozlov's drunkenness gradually dissipated, and his mind had already turned sober.
In twenty minutes, Kozlov felt something shining in the distant sky. At this moment, his navigator said: ”No, the German fighter is intercepting our bomber. force.”
