I was flying a Tomahawk IIRC. Probably my attack was not steep enough to hit anything vital well inside the plane's structure, but I'm pretty sure that the engine cowlings (which remained intact) got the same amount of bullets as the inner wing area nearby.
Looks like your bullets went all over the place. And If you really flew a Tomahawk, then it is not the best idea to attack from behind, Wellingtons and other tough planes,e. g. He-111, SM79 ... can soak up lots of non-cannon size bullets if they come from behind - but a few well placed bursts into the cockpit or engines do the trick.

Edit:
Just tried it myself, one long burst form ~200m and closing into the the Wellingtons right wing, and the inboard and outboard fuel tank burned, as well as right engine dead.
