Four Hundred and Seventy Eight Devils
Above the white clouds, 20 Soviet fighter jets formed two formations of different heights. This is already the largest fighter force that the Soviet Air Force on the Eastern Front could produce. This unit is composed of elite pilots drawn from various units. Their mission this time is to lure the Luftwaffe into battle and win a morale-boosting battle with unexpected technical advantages.
In fact, it was the commanders of the Soviet Air Force who were overwhelmed by Stalin, so they bit the bullet and came up with such a method-because the plane of the special envoy sent by Stalin was shot down at the front line, and the Soviet Air Force lost the battlefield air supremacy. Therefore, it could no longer be concealed, so Stalin ordered the execution of several directly related air force generals, and then ordered the Soviet Air Force to regain battlefield air supremacy.
"Call, call. Red Star No. 1, I am Red Star No. 2. Everything is normal here, and no German fighter force has been found." The voice of the captain came from the headset. Krinovic survived the battle a few days ago, so this time he was also selected as an elite. He drove his own fighter jet and followed a lead plane.
Only those who have experienced the massacre of the Luftwaffe will know the horror of the Luftwaffe. Krinovich naturally knows how terrifying the air force of the Third Reich is, so he kept praying while driving the plane to maintain formation German fighter jets don't show up.
However, his prayers did not seem to have any effect, because fighter jets soon spotted the German aircraft high in the sky. He raised his head and looked at the position reported by the friendly army, and found two small black spots above his head.
It was the German F. Wich knew at a glance that it was the best fighter of the German army, but this time the opponent flew a little high, which was obviously not the height of F.
"The enemy planes are starting to dive! The enemy planes are starting to dive! Oh my God, they are so fast!" The pilot of a Soviet plane kept yelling: "Spread out! Spread out!"
In the blink of an eye, the German plane rushed to the front, and Krinovich quickly moved his aircraft joystick to the right, so that his plane could avoid the swooping German fighter jets, but only at this time did he realize that the The two German fighter jets did not seem to be familiar f models he had never seen before.
The wings of this fighter are longer, and the fuselage is also noisier than the f-plane, and it seems that the output horsepower is stronger. This aircraft has a strange protrusion on the right side of the fuselage, which looks like an air intake or something.
Of course, Krinovich, who saw these things clearly, found a problem that made him sweat, that is, the speed of the two planes was really fast. These Soviet pilots have all seen German F-men and even shot down German F-men. In their minds, the German planes obviously did not have such a fast speed.
"Red Star No. 1! Red Star No. 1, I am Red Star No. 5! That is not the model of ff! I have never seen a model!" Krinovich shouted loudly: "It's so fast!"
"I saw it! Red Star No. 5! No. 7 and No. 9 were shot down! No. 7 and No. 9 were shot down!" The captain's answer seemed very flustered,
The entire Soviet fighter formation seemed to have become disorganized due to panic.
Those two fighter jets did not rush to climb after a dive in the air, but drew a graceful arc with a shockingly small turning radius and rushed over horizontally. The Soviet pilots obviously didn't expect the German planes to come back so quickly, and they shot down two more planes in just a moment of distraction.
"Scatter!" The voice of Red Star 1 shouted hysterically, and the Soviet fighter jets began to disperse, but the two German fighter jets had already begun to climb. outrageous.
Don't German fighter jets have weaknesses? He thought bitterly in his mind. But after thinking about it, he still adjusted his plane and kept the distance between himself and the lead plane. The Red Star 11 pilot who had experience in shooting down German aircraft in the headset repeatedly emphasized tactics: "Wait for them to dive! Wait for them to dive! We can't catch up with their speed! We can only wait for them to lower their altitude, and then use their performance to fly at low and medium altitudes." deal with."
Soon, the eagle-like German fighter jets in the sky started a new round of attacks. Obviously, this kind of aircraft is more powerful than f. In another short confrontation, the 30mm cannon shells ejected by the German fighter jets were so powerful that they directly smashed the two shot Soviet planes into pieces in the air.
As if they were testing the performance of their own fighter jets, the two German planes did not climb up immediately again, but quickly returned to the vicinity of the Soviet fleet by using the unbelievably small turning radius. The Soviet fighter pilots felt that their chance was coming, so they began to fight with the German fighter jets while circling.
Krinovich's lead plane was just hit by a German attack. He watched his lead plane disintegrate and explode in the air, so he didn't even bother to find trouble with the German fighter jets. Instead, he drove the plane to want to Get out of the battlefield as soon as possible.
Facts have proved that his choice is simply the most correct, because the fighting has just begun, and several fighter pilots in the Soviet Union discovered that even at low and medium altitudes, this new type of German fighter has a performance advantage that dominates the crowd. After some fighting, the German fighters calmly shot down 4 Soviet i-16 improved fighters, and then raised their height again, preparing for the next attack.
The captain of the Soviet Union, the Red Star No. 1, is crazy, 20 veteran pilots who have experienced battles, and even a few who have shot down the German fighters. Such a luxurious air force lineup, was only hit twice by two new German fighter jets. Losing half of it, how can it not make people feel heartbroken?
So the Red Star No. 1, who lost his mind, drove the plane to climb continuously, hoping to catch up with the two German fighter jets. As the altitude continued to increase, he was surprised to see that the pointer on his altimeter pointed to 9000 meters. Shocking numbers. When his plane lost its power and began to fall slowly, he looked unwillingly at the German plane flying out of at least 12,000 meters in the distance.
The German aircraft obviously did not intend to let go of the rookie Red Star 1. The two planes began to dive one after the other. With the roar of the engine and roar, the two fighter jets approached the Red Star 1 at a high speed, and then aimed and fired at close range. It only took a few shells to let the Soviet captain machine.
Krinovich heard the sad roar of Red Star No. 1 in the headset, and felt his palms were already full of sweat. He can't forget the cry before he died, and the final wail of the captain Red Star No. 1: "Why? Why can they fly 12,000 meters? Why can they fly so high?"
The fleet of Soviet aircraft became more chaotic with the explosion of the captain of Red Star No. 1. As Krinovich escaped, two more aircraft left the formation and rushed towards the distance. However, compared with Krinovich, who had the foresight to escape first, the two planes seemed to have less luck. They were quickly overtaken by German fighter jets and shot down easily.
The two German fighter jets were like sharks surrounding the school of fish. They kept swimming around the periphery of the school of fish, and then attacked the prey that was in a bad position, sending the prey to hell one by one. The battle was not so much an air battle as an out-and-out hunt. The German pilots seemed to be testing the performance of the fighter jets, constantly changing their attack maneuvers, smashing one Soviet aircraft after another to pieces.
When the last two Soviet fighter jets were left in the sky, the new German planes swaggered away. Instead of continuing to attack, they left the desperate Soviet pilots and walked away. interested in killing.
"Red Star 5! I am Red Star 18! I am still alive!" After a long time, Krinovic, who was hiding in the clouds, received a call from his comrades: "Red Star 10 and I are still alive! The German fighter jets left, they left."
Krinovich lowered the altitude slightly, but did not change his return route: "I will lower the altitude, you should be able to see me, let's return! Return immediately!"
"Okay! Listen to you! I don't want to stay in this ghostly place for a second." The pilot of the Red Star 10 fighter was so frightened that his voice changed a little: "Why did they let us go?"
"How do I know, maybe it's out of gas, maybe it's out of ammunition, maybe they want to leave us to go back and advertise their horror, who knows." Krinovich replied: "But we have a lot of things to do. Report, for example, the German army has a new fighter jet that can fly as high as 12,000 meters.”
"I heard it too. The captain called it that way before he died. He said it was 12,000 meters high..." Red Star No. 18 said with a pale face. He didn't care about Krinovic's early escape at all. In fact, if he could escape, he would have escaped long ago. It's just that he didn't try when he saw his comrades who escaped too late being beaten into pieces.
A Soviet plane just flew back to its base alone, and the ground crew was stunned at the returning plane. No one thought that this time the courageous attack would be exchanged for such a disastrous failure. All the pilots who got off the plane agreed that they encountered a new German fighter jet that was more terrifying than the devil.
