BF-The 09 fighters were only the pioneers. The real threat was the hundreds of JU-87 Stuka dive bombers and B29 Flying Fortress strategic bombers following behind!
These were planes that could really bomb and attack the ground!
Compared to them, the B-19 machine guns were just appetizers!
Chu!
At 12:15 a.m., the Stuka dive bombers were the first to rush to their targets.
Although the Gauls did not know enough about the threat of the air force, their impression of the air force was still stuck in the First World War eight years ago, and they did not realize the huge threat posed by the modern air force!
However, there were still several anti-aircraft gun positions in the Iron Tower City. These anti-aircraft guns posed a considerable threat to the B-29 bombers. The cost of the B29 was too high, and if it was shot down, it would easily cause military leaks, so the German army regarded them as extremely valuable and protected them very well.
This time, the air force was out in full force. Not only were there a large number of BF-109 fighters escorting the B-29s to intercept any enemy fighters approaching them, but there were also Stuka dive bombers clearing the way to help them clear the enemy’s anti-aircraft firepower points in the city, thus creating an excellent attack environment for the B-29 bombers, so that they would not have to worry about being attacked by the enemy!
Dadada!
When the Stuka dive bombers appeared above the Gauls’ heads, the Gallic soldiers at these anti-aircraft firepower points were immediately attracted by the aircraft that made extremely sharp sounds.
When they saw these planes swooping towards them, they immediately realized that the other side was coming to attack them.
So, these Gallic soldiers immediately operated the anti-aircraft guns on the positions, aiming at the enemies in the air and attacking fiercely, hoping that the artillery in their hands could shoot down the enemy! However
, the Stuka dive bombers that appeared in front of them were not the slow and clumsy bombers they had imagined!
Although the Stuka was called a dive bomber, the more accurate name for this thing should be called a fighter-bomber!
As the name implies, this aircraft has certain air combat capabilities. During World War II, many German pilots, especially those ace pilots, had records of shooting down enemy fighters and bombers with Stuka dive bombers. Among them, ace pilot Ulrich Rudel shot down 5 bear fighters.
Of course, compared with real fighters, Stuka is still relatively bulky, coupled with its own slow speed and light weight, so their mounting capacity is not outstanding, belonging to the category of light bombers. The practical performance of this aircraft is not particularly outstanding, but because of its great reputation and the extremely sharp sound it makes when dive-bombing, which brings great psychological pressure to the enemy, Mainz finally retained this aircraft. However
, in response to the various problems of Stuka, Mainz also used the system’s technology to upgrade and modify it.
The main modifications are in three aspects:
First, the size of the aircraft was expanded, and the maximum take-off weight was increased from 5,000 kg to 9,000 kg. The increase of 4 kg maximum lift weight gave the aircraft sufficient internal space to carry more bombs and more fuel, allowing them to have a longer range and attack capabilities.
Second, an improved D-B601 inverted liquid-cooled engine was replaced. The original power of this engine was 1,100 kilowatts, or 100 horsepower. After the improvement, its power increased to 800 horsepower, so that the maneuverability of the Stuka dive bomber not only did not decrease after the weight increase, but was further enhanced. Its maximum flight speed was increased from 350 kilometers per hour to 50 kilometers per hour, reaching the level of a fighter!
Third, the weapon system was replaced. In addition to a 500-kilogram bomb mounted under the belly, two hanging points were added under the wings on both sides, which can be hung on rocket nests to launch rockets, or small and medium-sized bombs under 250 kilograms can be hung to bomb the enemy!
After comprehensive improvements, the performance of the Stuka dive bomber became stronger. Its maximum flight speed increased to 550 kilometers per hour, its range increased to 1,200 kilometers, its combat radius increased to 500 kilometers, and its bomb-carrying capacity increased from the original 500,000 to 150 kilograms.
In this way, the Stuka dive bomber has truly become a veritable tank killer and howling death god!!
Facing the crazy attack of the Gauls, the pilots of the Stuka dive bomber calmly operated the aircraft, flexibly turned in the air, and kept making maneuvering evasive movements.
They were like an elf dancing on the tip of a knife, always able to avoid the enemy’s fatal attack at a critical moment.
The Gauls had never expected that the enemy’s aircraft was so fast and so flexible that they simply could not put the German aircraft into their crosshairs, so although the fight was very lively, there was no result at all. Instead, a large number of shells were wasted and their positions were exposed!
A distance of several thousand meters is just a moment for the Stuka dive bombers. While the Gallic soldiers were busy shooting down the planes, they themselves had already been caught in the crosshairs of death!
“”Lock on the enemy position and fire rockets!”
With the order from the leader, dozens of dive bombers attacked their targets almost at the same time.
The rocket nest hanging under the wing of the Stuka dive bomber had already been equipped with 23 rockets. After the pilot pressed the launch button, these rockets made a puffing sound, dragging long tail flames and white smoke, and rushed towards the enemy fiercely!
The Gauls never expected that the enemy would launch an attack in this way!
They were still waiting for the German dive bombers to dive down and prepare to drop bombs, aiming at the opponent and giving the opponent a fatal attack!
As a result, the Stuka had already fired at them from a distance!
This made the Gauls confused all of a sudden!
Wasn’t it agreed that it was a dive bomber?
Why don’t you dive or bomb?
What does it mean to attack from a distance with such fast and accurate rockets?
Boom boom boom!
Hundreds of rockets hit their targets accurately. In less than half a minute, the previously powerful The arrogant Gallic anti-aircraft positions had completely turned into a sea of fire. Most of the Gallic soldiers on the positions were sent to the sky by the explosion, and many ran back and forth in the flames of the explosion. They all turned into firemen, screaming and rolling on the ground, trying to put out the flames on their bodies!
From the air, the entire position seemed to be raining steel, with red-hot, sizzling molten iron everywhere. The scene looked very shocking!
The Gallic army had never seen such an attack, and the soldiers were all scared!
Seeing that several anti-aircraft positions were destroyed by enemy planes in an instant, the morale of the French troops on the remaining anti-aircraft positions was immediately defeated!
How to deal with such an enemy?
It’s impossible to deal with it!
I don’t know who took the lead, and the French soldiers suddenly clamored and all dispersed!
Who dares to fight against such an enemy?
