Chapter 1671： Attack bomber (1/2)

One island fighter contained four **** fighters. Now, the entire B-29 bomber group is escorted by only twelve Mustang fighters.

After all, they believe that the islanders do not have the advantage of high altitude, so they enter from a high altitude, and then leave from a high altitude, the **** fighters just follow it in a circle.

But now, James has found that the situation is not good.

At this time, they were only tens of kilometers above the target. If they had better eyesight, they could already see the sky above the target clearly. There, a fighter plane was flying up there, accelerating toward their side.

If all those who came were Bf109, it would be troublesome, but it should not be so bad, right? Otherwise, why is there nothing in the intelligence?

As the take-off fighter planes continued to climb higher, the tension in their hearts gradually increased. When the opponent climbed to the same height as them, the distance between the two sides was already less than ten kilometers.

”Attention, all the people who came are BF109, dense formation, let us greet with roaring bullets!”

Although in this era, the terrible aircraft Junker-290 has appeared in advance, but for the United States and for Boeing, the B-29 is still a trans-era existence.

In the old days, the altitude of 10,000 meters was almost impossible to achieve. The planes of the island countries were almost all in circles at an altitude of two to three kilometers. The serious problem was the low temperature and lack of oxygen in the high altitude.

For example, the B-17 bomber must wear bulky electrically heated flight suits and obstructive oxygen masks to maintain life when performing missions. Even so, it was cold enough for one time. If you were hit by an oxygen tube during a battle, you would be unconscious for a few minutes. The electric flight suit was interrupted and it would freeze to death.

In short, high altitude is not suitable for human survival.

Especially the machine gunner, sitting in the best panoramic view glass dome, is even more dangerous.

Now, B-29 is different.

It uses a pressurized cockpit. Everyone is in the aircraft, almost wearing half sleeves. At the same time, the turret has also become a remote control turret. The gunner only needs to control the joystick in front of his console.

As a huge aircraft, the B-29 is equipped with five turrets on the nose, back and belly. Each turret is equipped with two 12.7mm machine guns, and the tail turret adds a 20mm gun. Four remote-controlled turrets and 12 12.7mm machine guns in the tail turret, each carrying 1,000 rounds, and the early model tail turret also has a 20mm M2 gun Type B with 100 rounds.

The best part is that they can also control the firing of other artillery when needed. Under the control of the airborne central fire control system, everything is so easy, it's like playing video games for later generations.

This is absolutely terrible firepower deployment. Now, 12 bombers form a dense formation. Then, in all directions, there will be countless air defense firepower. Any fighter that wants to attack them must wear it. Only through their most terrifying air defense system!

They have confidence in their aircraft, and now let the island countries experience despair!

In the lead first bomber, the gunner Dexter was observing the outside through the bubble observation window on the top of him.
