One Hundred and Twenty-Six Aerial Contests

While reminding his wingman, Varna Modeles piloted his plane and began to dive down. He used this maneuver to gain high speed and an ideal attack position. He knew that his wingman was being attacked by the enemy. The plane is entangled, and if he doesn't attack to disrupt the formation of the enemy plane, the wingman may be shot down.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his wingman had entered the state of hovering and pulling up from the corner of his eye. The me-109 has an unimaginable aerodynamic advantage under this technical action, so it usually leaves the battle under the cover of this technical action. Still no problem. So he concentrated more on preparing to deal with the enemy planes that were chasing and killing his companions.

He adjusted the position of the nose and aimed at a Soviet i-16 fighter below, which was firing violently at the wingman Seiler.

The fuselage of the Soviet i-16 fighter is short and thick, the fuselage part is made of high-quality wood, and the engine is powerful. It is a very advanced new monoplane fighter. However, the design of this aircraft was seriously influenced by the experience of the First World War. It adopted an open cockpit, and the aerodynamic performance was not outstanding.

In addition, the i-16 of the Soviet Union's aid to the Republican Army has a fatal flaw, that is, because of the limited level of domestic industry, the number of engines produced by imitating British fighter engines is slightly insufficient (the drawings are British civilian engines, and their mental ability is very general) , had to reduce some "sex" to meet the requirements of the number of Spanish Air Force. This reduces the overall "performance" of the i-16 fighter, which is still advanced.

This weakening resulted in the i-16 flying only 290 km/h over Spain, instead of the 340 km/h of the i-16 used by the Soviet Union itself. This data is a bit pitiful compared to the speed of the me-109 in Germany's hands of up to 570 kilometers. This is also the main reason why the I-16 of the Republican Army has to set bait and dispatched in large numbers to make up for the "performance" gap.

So Varna, who gained the speed advantage by diving, drove the fighter jets to approach the Republican aircraft rapidly. The wings of the me-109 cut the air and approached the i-16 diagonally below, like a gray lightning. .

"Seiler! After you climbed, find a position to cover me! I rushed in!" Varner said loudly to Mike, and then he pulled the machine gun lever on the plane. The fuselage of the me-109 fighter trembled slightly, and the two machine guns on the nose shot out flames.

The tracer bullets drew a gorgeous light path in the gray sky, and bullets were knocked out of the gun chamber by the middle bottom fire, spinning and accelerating in the barrel, and finally flew to the enemy plane facing each other. Then it crashed into the skin of the enemy plane, shattered the wood and metal frame inside, and finally nailed it to the inside of the fuselage on the other side.

This i-16 was directly disintegrated by the 13mm large-caliber machine gun of the me-109 in the air. The tail broke and flew far away, and the whole fuselage was swirling and falling with thick smoke. It can be seen that the pilot inside was affected by centrifugal force. tossed to and fro,

As for whether he is dead or not, no one seems to care.

After adjusting his direction, Varna's fighter jet directly passed the height of the enemy aircraft. His altitude was already very low, and it took about 1000 meters to stabilize the diving me-109 - although the aircraft's The speed and "sex" can far exceed the opponent's, but it is indeed more complicated and precise to control.

Now that his plane has leveled off, the flight speed is still maintained at the level of 450 kilometers per hour, which is obviously much faster than those of the i-16. What he has to do now is to take advantage of the opportunities that the i-16 did not respond to, quickly pull up the plane, and find a higher attack position again.

"Varna! Thank you for your cover! I'm back at altitude now! There are two bandits behind you! The i-16 is turning! They're chasing you!" Seiler loudly reminded his leader on the walkie-talkie.

"They have a total of four planes! The number is wrong! One plane is following you!" Varna answered loudly as he pulled up his plane. The overload force in the plane pressed him to his flight seat, but he could still flexibly control the "joystick" of the plane in his hand, which gave him incomparable confidence.

"I dive attack! Kill the two behind you! Varna!" Sailor in the wingman said loudly: "The enemy plane behind me can't catch up with me!"

"I'm climbing! Can you see me? The two of us are too far apart! I'm looking for you! Keep your flight! I'm looking for you! Seiler!" They are basically fighting each other now, which is a very dangerous practice in aerial combat, so he needs to get the situation under control quickly.

"I've dived! If you're high enough, you should be able to find me! God! I locked him! I locked him! I hit! God! I hit him! Haha!" Varner's Seiler's excited shouting came from the headset, and it is estimated that this almost crazy shouting was also heard in the monitoring room on the other side of the tower.

"I still haven't found you! Seiler! I can't find you!" Varner climbed depressed and searched. He confirmed that he had used the climb and speed to get rid of the two i-16s behind him, but he heard Le's shouts, Varna knew that there were only two of the four I-16s that could threaten them.

He looked around anxiously in the small cockpit, trying to find the position of his wingman in the vast sky, but he didn't find Seiler, but found the one that bit Seiler and climbed up at a high altitude, ready to burrow into the clouds. i-16 fighter jet.

"Seller! I saw an i-16! Probably the one following you! It looks like it wants to run! I'll go and grab it! Can you handle the rest?" Varner exclaimed asked.

"I don't know! I'm pulling up! I can't find the bandit! But it shouldn't be behind me, it can't catch me!" Seiler answered loudly.

But at this time Varner couldn't care about Seiler's answer. He got into the clouds and found that the i-16 was gone. He suddenly realized that he had done a very idiotic thing, so he pushed the plane "Fuck it" 』The joystick, once again let the plane descend.

After rushing down the clouds, he circled for a week, and easily found the remaining poor i-16 fighter. Without the slightest hesitation, Varna rushed to his enemy again. His close comrade me-109 gave He brings a tremendous amount of confidence and makes his fights feel like hunting.

Soon he approached his prey from above. This time, he did not save his ammunition. He first used a 13mm caliber machine gun to shoot a few times, and then let the 20mm door on the nose. Caliber machine guns opened fire. As the fuselage trembled, Varna could even hear the clanging sound of cannon shells being thrown out of the plane.

The power of the 20mm machine gun is not comparable to that of the machine gun. With the roar of the machine gun, the i-16 facing Varna's nose directly spewed a ball of fireworks in the air, and the whole plane shattered into five pieces. Brilliant flowers bloomed in the air.

Varna "controlled" the stick on one side, and the plane deflected to one side, dodging the wreckage of the exploding enemy plane, whistling and flying like lightning on the right side of the explosion, the engine driving the propeller friction to send out a sharp scream. At this time, he finally found his wingman position from the top of the plane.

"Keep your course! Saylor! I'll join you in the past!" Varner piloted the plane and began to circle the height, looking for the two old Republican biplanes as bait, but they obviously knew that something was wrong and had escaped , and did not remain in the sky dominated by me-109.

"Captain! I saw the crashed plane! You shot down two battles! That's amazing!" Sailor exclaimed. His excitement and surprise could still be heard in his tone. His first battle achieved a victory, which was very happy news for him.

With a faint smile on the corner of Varna's mouth, he nodded and replied to Seiler: "I did hit it, I disintegrated the plane directly."

"A plane ran away! What a pity." Sailor said regretfully.

"No shame! I can't see those two old biplanes that the Republicans used to attack the ground! Can you see it from your height?" Varner asked.

"Can't see! I think they've flown away!" Seiler replied after a while.

"Fighter No. 79 called the control tower!" After Varner joined Seiler, who had been staying under the clouds, he circled the battlefield again, and then used the intercom to contact the rear command: "The two old-fashioned planes It was the enemy's bait, we were ambushed by four i-16 fighter jets, the means should be driven by the Soviets, one plane escaped, and the rest were shot down by me and Seiler."

"Varner Modeles! This is the fourth time you have shot down an enemy plane! Congratulations on becoming an ace pilot!" The sound of blessings from the tower came from the headset: "Fighter No. 79, Fighter No. 53, now you can Return! You are now authorized to return immediately!"

In the far horizon, the Soviet pilot in an i-16 fighter jet had a tired expression on his face stiffened by the airflow. He lowered his altitude slightly, reduced his speed, and made an engine noise. And a sigh drowned out by the wind.

In the sky over Spain, the Luftwaffe, which has never existed here, is fighting with the Soviet Air Force, who has never been here. Dozens of fighter jets come and go in the sky every day, and there are fighter jets dragging black smoke from time to time. Falling from the sky, the final fireworks are set off on the ground.

In the winter of this year, 61 outstanding Soviet pilots slept on Spanish soil; 4 German pilots also closed their eyes forever here. Not many people remember their departure because they were never acknowledged on official documents. Of course, in recent months, more than 15 Luftwaffe pilots have been awarded the Spanish Cross by Franco himself for all sorts of outlandish reasons. Won third place in the competition.
