Chapter 1369 The Legendary Wooden Plane

Just a few seconds ago, the British torpedo pilots were looking at the fires soaring into the sky in front of them with excitement, commenting on the beautiful details.

Well, I have to admit that everyone had the hobby of playing with fire when they were young, and it seems that arson is one of human instincts.

However, at that time they did not know that they would become someone else's prey.

A British pilot saw the last scene of his life through the transparent glass compartment: he approached an airplane that seemed not his side from behind.

When he opened his eyes wide and looked carefully, he was stunned: the German plane actually came!

The next moment, dazzling bullet lines flashed out of his retina.

The thick shadow of death is overwhelming!

"I'm Mai Ka! Am I dead like that?"

The screams and the roar of the cannon sounded almost at the same time. In an instant, the entire cabin was filled with shrapnel flying everywhere, and the crew flew with flesh and blood.

The mechanical parts were cut and destroyed, the main wing beam was broken, and the engine exploded.

Finally, a tongue of flame was sprayed out from the fuel tank, and the entire torpedo bomber was wrapped in an ever-expanding ball of fire, falling toward the city, and blending into the sea of ​​fire.

"Where did the damn German guy come out!"

"Are we all going to die here?"

The sound of bomber pilots calling each other's alarm sounded in the radio, and dozens of frightened eyes tried their best to search every corner of the night sky. But they did not have night vision eyes and could not see the enemies in the dark.

Only whenever a dense tracer bomb suddenly shot out from somewhere will they know where the enemy is.

Torpedo bombers either fell or were directly blown up in the air, and the pilots were asking the same question with a trembling voice; where are our "mosquitoes"?

"Damn British, go see God!"

"Haha, I killed another British torpedo machine!"

After blowing up the nearest torpedo plane in front of him, the German pilots escaped from their dead prey without any nostalgia and continued to pursue them wildly.

Bang bang bang bang, in a short time, several torpedo planes were exploded, and the dazzling flames lit up the sky, looking extremely colorful.

As the saying goes, a cannon fired a thousand taels of gold, and each torpedo was blown up in the air. This not only represents the withering of a young life, but also means that the torpedo worth tens of thousands of dollars was drifted.

What a heart-wrenching rain of fireworks, it’s really a pain for the loved ones to hurt each other!

"Damn German, come on!"

In less than a minute, the Tiger Army fighter pilot Song Liangqing flew a DH98 "Mosquito" fighter and killed him as quickly as possible. After locking up a German BF110 night fighter, he frantically pressed the fire control switch.

Da da da da da!

A string of caliber ammunition was shot out with endless anger at a high speed.

After a while, a series of metal impacts began to sound.

Immediately afterwards, the bf110 night fighter that was chasing the torpedo plane with all his might was directly blown up and turned into a burning fireball.

The dh98 mosquito aircraft is one of the most successful aircraft designed in World War II. It is designed and manufactured by De Havilland. It is regarded as an innovative work in the history of British aviation and has the reputation of "Miracle of Wood".

Yes, this is an aircraft with all-wood structure, which was already very rare in aircraft in the 1940s.

The most foresighted decision of the German Havilland Company was fully foreseeing the lack of aluminum alloys in Britain during the war, and there would be a shortage of workers who mastered the technology of metal structure manufacturing of aircraft.

Wooden aircraft can be produced by any skilled carpenter. British piano factories, cabinet factories, and furniture factories can be put into large-scale production of aircraft.

It is this decision that made the "Mosquito" aircraft have several advantages such as low-priced performance, saving raw materials, and being as light as a swallow, becoming a distinctive and outstanding aircraft model from the beginning.

Although it is a fully wood structure, it makes people feel that it is no different from a paper, but in fact it is not the case.

During the entire war, the "Mosquito" bombers in the Royal Air Force bomber legion alone dispatched 39,795 orders and dropped more than 100,000 bombs, of which only 254 were shot down.

That is to say, only one aircraft is lost per 2,000 operations, creating the lowest damage record for enemy air strikes. The combat loss rate is only 6.3% per thousand, which is less than one-third of ordinary bombers, creating the best record for combat survival rate of Royal Air Force bombers.

It should be noted that the dh98 "Mosquito" aircraft has many modifications and has functions such as bombing, combat, reconnaissance, coaching, contact, and anti-submarine.

"kill!"

"Farke Oil!"

Immediately afterwards, DH98 "Mosquito" fighter jets joined the battlefield one after another, and fired wildly at the German fighter jets that were chasing the torpedo planes regardless of their butt!

There is no doubt that in the face of the dh98 "Mosquito" fighter that is several times its own, only 12 BF110 night fighters exploded in a short time, and were shot down and exploded by the extremely angry Allied pilots!

However, in just one or two minutes, the Allied torpedo fleet had suffered extremely serious casualties and destroyed as many as 26 aircraft.

There were no tears on the battlefield, and the pilots of the torpedo fleet who had suffered heavy losses had no time to pray in silence for their dead comrades. After just getting out of danger, they killed the enemy warships in the port of Tobrook under the cover of the fighter fleet.

"Aim and hit!"

"You must never let these damn British guys get close to us!"

At this moment, the harbor of Tobrook was full of burning flames, which made the originally dark night disperse far away. The torpedo plane flying in a low-speed straight line naturally could not escape the sight of the sailors.

Faced with these super killers coming in a fierce manner, they all fought their lives, completely ignoring the fighter jets that were still firing wildly above their heads, and concentrated all their firepower on the torpedo fuselages.

Because they knew deeply that although those bombers and fighters could produce considerable damage and could certainly take their lives, the damage to the ships could be ignored.

On the other hand, once the torpedo aircraft is adjusted to the bomb drop angle, even if the warships under their feet are rough and thick, they will not withstand the fatal damage of several torpedoes.

If the warship is sunk and exploded, they will naturally be covered with no eggs and will sink to the bottom of the sea and turn into cold corpses!

In this case, they can only take the minority of their powers and give all the output firepower to the British torpedo crew!

As a result, these torpedo planes that had just escaped from death faced great survival tests again, and the dense caliber ammunition poured wildly at them without any money.

The dense light-pull bullets flashed wildly in their vision, as if everything around them was cut and cut off by these metal storms filled with the breath of death!
