High altitude combat

As a ground attack aircraft specially designed by the German army, the HS-129 attack aircraft takes into account the advantages of thick armor, strong firepower, good low-altitude and low-speed maneuverability, and long airborne time.

Moreover, compared with the HS-129 of the previous generation, the aerodynamic shape, weapon layout and engine layout of the HS-129 of this generation have been completely changed, which makes it not like the previous generation, with a narrow cockpit, poor flight performance, The engine is unreliable, slow and bulky.

It can be said that the only thing in common between the current HS-129 and the previous HS-129 is the name.

Bruno was sitting in the battalion headquarters next to the artillery position, waiting for the good news to come back, but he didn't hear the good news. Instead, he heard the roar of an aircraft engine.

airplane? Aren't our planes all in front of Achern? Bruno thought in confusion, he got up from his chair, walked out of the command center, and looked up over the battlefield.

There are six fighter jets circling there.

"Damn it!" Bruno scolded secretly. Looking at the iron cross on the wing, he recognized that these planes were not from his side, and they might not be very friendly to him.

The reason why he could see that those planes were not friendly to him was because four of them had already rushed towards him aggressively, and with Bruno's 5.3 vision, he could easily identify what was hanging under those planes. .

"Concealment! Concealment! The anti-tank guns are camouflaged! The mortars are quickly withdrawn!" Bruno ran into the woods, shouting as he ran. "German air attack! German air attack!"

In fact, without Bruno shouting, the French soldiers on the position also understood what was going on, and they quickly completed half of Bruno's order - concealment.

As for the other half of the command to camouflage anti-tank guns and remove mortars, leave it to God.

Soon the German vultures arrived over the artillery positions. The four HS-129 attack aircraft reduced their speed and altitude, and used two 6-unit 60mm honeycomb rockets hung under the wings to give the French artillery positions a good "wash". bath".

A round of rockets rained down, and the arrogant mortar group and four anti-tank guns all returned to their spare parts.

Seeing that no complete artillery could be found on the artillery position, the four attack planes swung their wings and returned to the sky above the battlefield.

Maybe it was just dissatisfied with the slaughter of the artillery positions, or maybe it was because the 110-pound and 220-pound bombs on the plane were not thrown down. Three consecutive coquettish acts.

Unlike cute girls, attack planes act like coquettish girls. They are coquettish and throw bombs.

A total of 16 110-pound bombs and 8 220-pound bombs carried by the four attack planes gave the French a surprise. The violent explosion shocked the German officers and soldiers in the bloody battle, but they quickly recovered. , killed the enemy even harder, because they knew that the sky belonged to them temporarily.

"MD!" Bruno, who managed to escape from death, looked at the arrogant German plane not far away and the dizzy soldier who was beaten. He raised his middle finger angrily at the German plane, and "kindly" greeted the female German pilot. Family member, "Benshamin! Benshamin!"

"I'm here! Battalion commander!" Ben Shamin was just near the anti-tank gun, so he was as disgraced as Bruno.

"Go to the battalion headquarters to see if the radio station was damaged by the bombing, and bring it to me if you can!" Bruno ordered with a dark face, he was really "black face" now.

"Yes!" Ben Shaming saluted at attention, and then ran towards the battalion headquarters that had turned into ruins.

It didn't take long for Ben Shamin to come back and said to Bruno with a regretful expression, "Bat Commander, everything is still there, but it's a pity that it's all pieces."

"Don't joke with me on the horse, I'm not in the mood right now!" Bruno was excited when he heard "Everything is still there", but the last sentence made him experience a roller coaster.

"Don't be angry, battalion commander, battalion commander, although the radio station is gone, I found this." Ben Shaming said flatteringly, and then picked up a man even more disgraced than them from behind.

"Correspondent?!" Bruno looked at the "black man" in front of him and exclaimed in astonishment, "Why didn't you die?"

"During the air raid, I, I was lazy, and I didn't suffer any damage, but I was crushed to ashes." The correspondent scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"It's good to be lazy, it's good to be lazy!" Bruno shouted excitedly, then turned his eyes to the back of the correspondent.

Sure enough, the portable radio carried by the correspondent was not damaged.

"Quick, get in touch with the above and ask them to contact the Air Force to provide us with some suppor.

A few minutes later, the messenger brought good news to Bruno: "Brigade commander, it says that the Air Force has a fighter detachment nearby, and they are already heading here!"

"Hahaha!" Bruno laughed frantically, "You German bastards wait for me, don't run if you can!"

As if in response to his words, the four attack planes really didn't leave. They threw all the bombs and swept the French soldiers on the ground with air machine guns.

Facing the slow-flying German attack planes, the French army had not fought back, and the machine guns in their hands could be called anti-aircraft weapons.

However, the largest caliber machine gun in their hands is the M1914 "Hutchkes" heavy machine gun, which has a caliber of only 8mm and is designed to defend against 13mm caliber aviation machine guns on the HS-129, except for insignificant parts. In addition to wearing it, it has little effect except to hear the sound and see the sparks in important places.

Therefore, after the French army on the ground failed to counterattack several times, they no longer continued to fight fearlessly. If they had the air to carry machine guns to do useless work, they might as well run for their lives.

This one-sided carnage was not resolved until the arrival of French fighter jets.

The French side sent two MS.406 fighter jets produced by Molana Saunière and two D.501 fighter jets from Dewatina.

MS.406 is the most advanced main fighter in France. It has excellent performance and can compete with the current British Spitfire and Hurricane, and Germany's ME109. At the Brussels Air Show, France even proudly displayed the MS.406. The billboard of the 406 fighter jet was marked with the title of "World's No. 1 Fighter".

The D.501 is an improved version of the first French monoplane fighter D.500. Its performance is similar to the American P-26 "toy gun", and it is slightly outdated now.

At first glance, 4 fighter jets from the French side beat the 2 ME109 fighter jets escorted by the German side, which has a quantitative advantage, and the performance of the MS.406 can also compete with the ME109 in terms of quality.

It's a pity that MS.406's competition with German ME109 refers to the early model ME109. Now the French fighter is opposite to the latest improved model of ME109. Unlike the French bragging, these two ME109s are well-deserved world active fighters.
