Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

During World War II, the U.S. Army Air Forces lost 4,891 heavy bombers on the European battlefield, of which 2,452 were shot down by fighter jets.

One of the main reasons is that heavy bombers during World War II required manpower to operate self-defense machine guns and lacked precise shooting methods. It was basically impossible to effectively shoot down enemy fighters approaching at high speeds and large deviation angles. Therefore, heavy bombers such as B-17 and B-24 need to rely on box formations to fight against Luftwaffe air defense fighters. This is basically a wait-and-see shooting method. If the heavy bombers at that time were equipped with radar-guided defense machine guns or cannons that appeared only after the war, the contest between bombers and fighters in World War II would be a different situation.

Moreover, at the beginning, German fighter jets used traditional tail pursuit tactics to attack the Allied forces with heavy bombardment, but did not achieve satisfactory results. In a tail pursuit attack, although the relative speed is relatively low and the fighter pilot has enough time to aim, he still has to face the concentrated fire attack of multiple machine guns on the tail, back, waist, and belly of the bomber. It is definitely "killing one thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred". of trading.

After tactical research, the Luftwaffe developed head-on attack tactics. The number of defensive machine guns faced by this tactic was greatly reduced. Although the relative speed was too high, it would be difficult for the pilot to aim, resulting in a low hit rate. However, at this time, German fighter jets were already commonly equipped with the powerful MG FF 20mm cannon; they were later upgraded. The longer-range MG 151 20mm cannon and the 30mm MK 108 cannon are installed to further improve the shooting efficiency.

The tracer bullets fired by the US bombers swayed in the air like fire whips. However, without fighter escort, the German fighter jets completely took the initiative on the battlefield and moved back and forth among these barrages with ease, using 30mm pods from time to time. The cannon fired several hits at the nearest bomber.

The B-17 is indeed thick-skinned. The German Air Force during World War II conducted a test. It took 18 to 20 rounds of 20 mm cannon shells to shoot down an ordinary four-round heavy bomber. To destroy the B-17, it was even more difficult. It requires as many as 25 rounds of artillery shells.

And if the 30mm cannon is equipped with special explosive grenades, it only takes 4 rounds to destroy a B-17.

"Oh God!" A 30mm cannon shell hit the wing of the B-17 driven by Li Mei, instantly blasting a hole the size of a washbasin. Seeing that the plane was about to lose control, Li Mei could only give the order to abandon the plane and parachute.

He jumped out of the hatch with difficulty and opened his parachute. At his feet was the Great Caucasus Mountains.

"These stupid idiots! They said that the German fighter planes could not fly to an altitude of 11,000 meters. What do you say now?!" Li Mei cursed those idiots from the military intelligence department in a depressed voice. Just because he believed those idiots, he now wants to be Captured. If he had known that German fighter jets could climb so high, he would have waited for the fighter jets to arrive, or simply chose to bomb at night!

It's too late to say anything now! Damn it!

When he staggered down to a few hundred meters above the ground, he already saw several German soldiers on the ground, pointing at him in the sky.

Falling heavily on the snow, facing the muzzles of several black holes, Li Mei raised her hands knowingly.

Soon after, Yannick from the Berlin Palace also received the news.

"Your Highness, the Americans just dispatched bombers to bomb the Baku oil fields."

Yannick had received intelligence before and knew that American aviation had arrived in the Soviet Union, and that Stalin was planning to bomb Berlin; but he did not expect that their primary target was the Baku oil field. "Stalin's obsession with the Baku oil fields is really deep. Do we have to bomb the oil fields? We don't rely on the Baku oil fields." In the original time and space, the German army went to the Baku oil fields, but now Germany controls Libya and the Middle East , there is no need to use the Baku oil fields.

I don’t know why Stalin was so persistent in destroying the Baku oil fields. It’s really baffling.

"The American bombers were not escorted by fighter jets, and we shot down more than 80 B-17 bombers of the 305th Bomb Group."

"What?! The 305th Bomb Group?!" Yannick couldn't help but be surprised. "Is the commander of this brigade named Li Mei?"

"Yes, the commander was Curtis Emerson LeMay, who was captured by our paratroopers after jumping out."

"Oh, it's true. Bring him here immediately, I want to see him."

"yes!"

Yannick still has a good impression of Le Mei, because in World War II in the original time and space, Li Mei's greatest achievement was using tens of thousands of "Super Flying Fortress" B-29 bombers from February to August 1945, carrying massive amounts of incendiary bombs All the major cities in the island country were burned to the ground, which can be called "Li Mei Barbecue".

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Mei was a born soldier, the most loyal believer and preacher of the Carpet Bombing Church. When he was still a major in 1941, he liked to personally pilot the troops and carried out unswerving operations in the German-occupied areas for 20 months. Indiscriminate bombing, so he was quickly promoted to major general. In 1944, he was transferred to the China-Burma-India War Zone, where he formulated one crazy and bold plan after another. General Le Mei's hatred for the islanders was even greater, because he always believed that these East Asian lunatics were despicable and shameless. He launched a sneak attack on the United States, so he uttered the famous and impeccable words... "Blast them back to the Stone Age!"

It’s okay for an ordinary middle school student to shout slogans, but a middle school student like General Li Mei does what he says...

Under Li Mei's command, 96 cities in the island nation were bombed. At least 50% of the buildings in each city were burned to rubble. Nearly 500,000 people were killed and injured, and 8 million people were made homeless. The extent of damage far exceeded twice. Nuclear egg.

After the war, the Japanese authorities awarded Li Meixun the first-class Order of the Rising Sun. The civilians of the island country who suffered heavy casualties in the air strikes probably never dreamed that they would be unknowingly hit by incendiary bombs while sleeping at home at night. The government they believed in Shiji not only deceived them but also awarded Japan's highest honor to the American general who killed them.

The awarding ceremony of the "First Class Medal of the Rising Sun" is traditionally awarded by the Emperor himself to the recipient. But this time, for the first time, the emperor challenged the government council: I won’t do it! Whoever wants to send it will send it!

As a result, the emperor didn't go, and neither did Li Mei. It was probably the island government that shamefully mailed it to Li Mei in the end, but Li Mei was never seen wearing the Rising Sun Ribbon.

In this way, within a few hours of being imprisoned in the temporary prisoner of war camp, Li Mei was taken out, put on a transport plane, and flew straight to Berlin.

"Where are you taking me?!" He asked several times on the way, but he didn't know whether these Germans couldn't understand English or for some other reason, so no one paid him any attention.

At the airport, he was put into another car. It wasn't until the car drove into the Berlin Palace that he vaguely guessed who he was about to meet.

But he had never met the German Crown Prince. Why did the German Crown Prince want to take such a little major as his prisoner?
