Two Hundred and Seventy-Four Fearless

Like Yuan Akado, Garland seems to be in a good mood recently, because he has received a personal award from the flight team—this is a specially modified FW-190D fighter jet with a liquid-cooled engine for high altitude.

Like the standard liquid-cooled FW-190D fighter, the aircraft is armed with a 30mm cannon and two 13mm machine guns. Taking into account the ultra-high destructive capability of the machine gun and the long-lasting firepower of the machine gun.

There is a very conspicuous difference in this aircraft, that is, there is a large blank area under the cabin, which is used to paint Garland's dazzling achievements these days. In frequent take-off operations, he got his 41st personal shot down result. This result ranks 2nd overall in the German Air Force.

Of course, since it is a specially improved aircraft, this aircraft must have some different devices from other aircraft. The only improvement on this plane is that it has a dedicated cigar lighter on the flight instrument panel. This is tailor-made for Garland who loves cigars.

Moreover, with the approval of the relevant air force departments, the aircraft was allowed to paint the tail in bright red, which is also an additional reward for ace pilots with more than 50 combat records in the Luftwaffe.

The Red Baron Manfred von Richthofen is Garland's idol. Even when he speaks, he deliberately imitates this legendary pilot who once shot down 80 planes. So this time, he painted the tail of the plane bright red without hesitation.

The Luftwaffe was invincible over France, so the jurisdictions of various fighter units became very chaotic. In order to compete for some achievements, the ace pilots were allowed to hunt in the adjacent airspace.

At this very moment, Garland is driving this fighter that satisfies him extraordinary, and is patrolling the edge of the airspace he is in charge of. Because the plane was slaughtered, in two days, the French Air Force has seldom launched fighter jets into the sky to challenge German planes.

"Wingman, the current altitude is 5,700 meters. Keep your altitude." Garland looked around, and then warned through the intercom.

The voice of the wingman came through the earphone: "No problem. I am flying with you at the upper and rear position of your upper left."

"Pay attention to the position of the clouds! If a French plane dares to appear, it must be a veteran! Can't you just understand?" Garland lit a cigar for himself and took a puff comfortably.

Recently, the Luftwaffe lost 4 FW-190D fighter jets. These planes were all killed during dual-plane patrol, and the communication content sent back was also very strange. These pilots who were shot down and died were all diving to attack or bite The target was later shot down.

The military reports that the UK has entered service with a new fighter jet,

There is a rotatable turret above the aircraft. This kind of aircraft can fire upwards and directly behind, and the firepower is very fierce, but this statement has not yet been confirmed.

"Understood!" The wingman replied through the headset. The two planes remained in formation, patrolling their airspace one behind the other.

Suddenly, Garland saw several planes flying towards them at an altitude of about 3,000 meters. Garland immediately snuffed out the cigar in his hand, looked carefully, and confirmed the number of enemy planes: "Wingman! Wingman! Diagonally downward at 9 o'clock, I saw four enemy planes! Did you see them? The dense formation is used, and the speed is faster than the previous enemy planes."

"I saw it! I saw it! It's far away, and I can't tell the model of the enemy plane for the time being!" The wingman replied after a few seconds.

"Keep flying high! I will dive and attack in a while! You follow me and cover my tail." Garland thought for a while, and issued an attack command: "Start a slight dive! Increase the speed!"

After a few more seconds, the distance between the two sides got closer, and Garland could see clearly the markings painted on the wings of the opponent. These were 4 British aircraft, not their old rival French fighter jets. And this kind of plane is very weird, there is a strange glass bulging behind the cabin.

"The attack begins!" Garland couldn't help hesitating, he decisively gave the order to attack, and the two German fighter jets began to dive and descend violently to gain faster speed. The roar of the engine and the sound of the plane's fuselage rubbing against the air flow seemed to be playing a symphony. Garland's eyelids twitched, and a feeling of uneasiness surged into his heart.

As the distance got closer, Garland's good eyesight finally saw the strange appearance of the enemy plane. The strange transparent "bulge" turned out to be a turret with four machine guns on it. Garland subconsciously swung the joystick to the right, and then screamed loudly: "Roll! Wingman! They can hit you!"

Almost at the same time, the British Dreadnought fighters opened fire, and the bullets were sprayed over like raindrops. The 16 machine guns on the four Dreadnought fighter jets sprayed out dense bullets in an instant.

Fortunately, Garland's voice reminded the two German fighter jets to make a difficult roll while diving. The barrage flew across the two wings of the British record.

It was as if he had accidentally stepped on a grizzly bear's tail while hunting a rabbit - Garland felt ashamed. The British planes were obviously faster than the fighter jets of their ally France. Garland, who had lost his flying height, and his wingmen couldn't get rid of the entanglement of the British planes for a while.

"Roll! Continue to roll! Then look for opportunities to hover and lift! We must get back to the height! Did you hear me? Wingman? Wingman?" Garland swayed the plane from side to side to avoid bullets that might come from behind. , while shouting loudly.

"I heard it! I'm climbing! I'm climbing! But I can see them biting me! I can't get rid of them." The wingman pilot replied nervously. Facts have proved that British pilots are very well-trained, and their combat effectiveness is not weak when the gap between fighter jets improves slightly.

Garland denied the somersault tail-biting attack, because he was exposed to the damn turret firepower on the opponent's back most of the time, so he felt that he should get rid of the contact first, and then calmly think of a better one. Method.

But something happened that surprised him. After biting him, the British fighter did not fire, but followed him calmly. Is the other party so confident? Want to shorten the distance before firing? We must know that fw-190d has a super high flight speed of nearly 600 kilometers in this era. Is it possible for the British to create better fighter jets?

Garland didn't believe it, he had to convince himself not to think about it. Carefully controlling his plane, Garland swayed from side to side and then suddenly pulled up the plane. At this moment, the opponent's fighter jet opened fire. But because he turned so suddenly, the bullets kept chasing the tail of his plane, but missed his fighter.

The climbing speed of the fw-190d fighter jet is quite fast, so this time Garland got rid of his danger, and the fighter jet flew towards the white clouds again, and he seemed to have found a magic weapon to defeat the enemy.

The strange attack of the British fighter just now made him think of something, but he forgot it because of the confusion. Now he needs to think about it, to think of a perfect countermeasure to deal with these British fighters with weird attack methods.

The wingman seemed to be lucky. Although the flying posture was very ugly, he managed to use his speed to get rid of the pursuit of the British fighter jets and began to climb rapidly. After this weird attack failed, the two German planes were obviously more cautious. They climbed to a height of 6,000 meters before stopping and began circling near the British plane, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The feeling at this time is a bit like the feeling of a hunting dog surrounding a hedgehog with nowhere to bite. The most commonly used dive attack and tail-biting approach tactics of German aircraft were blocked by the strange turret of this aircraft. If they still used the old tactics to attack, they would be shot down by this aircraft instead.

So Garland decided to experiment again based on his own experience. He ordered the wingman who had just returned to the team: "Keep high and be ready to cover me at any time. I'm going to try to attack again."

Dive again, the unique crazy dive of German fighter jets, dive to the limit, break through the human limit speed, with the sound of howling wind, press all the internal organs on the back, feel the unparalleled feeling of pushing the back . Break through the speed to 600 kilometers per hour. Relying on this speed, Garland rushed towards the British aircraft fleet with lightning speed, and Garland planned to tear the target apart with unstoppable firepower.

"Thug, chug." This time, without getting close to the target, Garland fired with the 30mm cannon on the nose, and the tongues of flame shot out, flying in the sky with beautiful lines, but because of the distance problem, , most of the shells missed these British aircraft.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the British shooters opened fire ahead of time. However, it was still very difficult for a small-caliber machine gun to hit Garland, who was shaking left and right and diving at this distance. So there was another round of firefights between the two sides and a draw, neither of which could hit the other.

"I seem to know their weakness! The maneuverability of this kind of aircraft is not as flexible as ours, and their firepower is not accurate when maneuvering." Garland manipulated the aircraft and continued to swing from side to side to get rid of the tracking of the British aircraft, and then The intercom said: "There is another problem. They don't seem to be able to fire on targets directly in front of them."

"I think I have to tell you some bad news. It seems that there are other planes approaching here." The words of the wingman came from the headset: "You have to pull up a bit! I can't see where it is coming from yet s plane!"
