Five Hundred and Fifty I Fly Wingman

The two fighter jets returned to the base safely one after the other, and landed on the long runway at the airport. (Baidu search website is the fastest and most stable update.) There are more ground staff than usual, and two people are still running to the edge with fire extinguishers.

The ground tower of the exciting battle just now is already known, but the final evaluation of the battle process depends on the flight reports of the two people and the pilot's confession. Of course, we don't know the exact number of enemy planes shot down. After all, the tower can only hear a few words of communication between the two planes intermittently.

Everyone knew that the two of them fought a Soviet plane in the air, but the specific process could not be judged from the radio communication. Everyone just heard that the squadron leader's plane broke down in the sky, so they all ran to the airport Find out what's going on.

"Why is there smoke? Is it a problem with the oil circuit?" A ground crew asked the veteran beside him. He is also one of the staff responsible for inspecting the squadron leader's plane, so he is naturally very nervous now. The mechanical failure of this kind of aircraft during the mission can be regarded as one of the most serious operational mistakes of the ground crew.

If the procedures are followed and the cause of the aircraft failure is finally found out, then the ground crew who inspected this area will be dealt with immediately. In many cases, they will be downgraded or even fined, their supplies will be reduced, and they will even be punished and sent to the front line to join combat troops. That is to say, the supply of mechanical maintenance talents in Germany is in short supply, otherwise they will be shot directly.

So it's unavoidable that these ground crews are nervous. This kind of thing can be said to be big or small. If it is handled within the squadron, then at most it will be a meeting with everyone, and a few ground crews will apologize and order less supplies and cigarettes. If it goes to the brigade or even the Air Force General Staff, it will be the rhythm of peeling off a layer of skin.

The veteran frowned, shook his head, and replied: "The oil circuit is broken, so it is impossible to smoke so badly... I heard that the engine came back to work later. I speculate that there may be some fuel additives that promote combustion." question."

He replied with some helplessness, if it was pushed to the fuel, then it would be a lawsuit with the logistics department and the industrial department. The advantage is that this lawsuit will not be finished for a while, so no one will be punished for it. The disadvantage is this matter In this way, it is estimated that it will inevitably break the sky, and the people involved will only be more and more complicated.

"Don't talk nonsense, the fuel is used by several troops, and I haven't heard of any problems!" The commander of the logistics force on the side immediately set the tone for this matter. He didn't want to write materials in the end because of such an accident. The Supreme Command and the Ministry of Industry and the Air Force Staff sent it, which would make him die a miserable death. network

The two planes stabilized on the lawn, and the ground crew swarmed up and quickly helped the two pilots out of their planes. The squadron leader over there was choked up by the smoke in the plane, and after climbing out of the plane, he could still see black marks on his face, and there was residue from the fire extinguisher on his body.

"Check this plane! See what's wrong!" The squadron leader remained calm,

Instead of blaming his ground crew when he got off the plane, he issued an investigation order: "Don't record the cause of this failure in detail in the squadron's flight records, and cover it up with accidental incidents. This incident... within our squadron Solve it yourself."

God bless, since it is an internal solution, then everything is easy to talk about, all the ground staff let out a deep breath. There is nothing wrong with distributing cigarettes and beer to everyone. As long as this matter is not investigated, it is definitely better to save my life than to have no cigarettes.

"How is it? That Hardman didn't cause trouble for you, did he?" The lead pilot who flew with Hardman last time approached the squadron leader and asked with a curl of his lips. He just went to see two planes. Although the squadron leader's plane was malfunctioning, it had fired all the cannon shells. On the contrary, there were still some 20mm machine guns left on the Hardman plane that was not malfunctioning. Cannon shells. In this way, it seems that the facts are very clear. It seems that the squadron leader covered Hardman and returned safely.

"He covered me, so I came back safely." The squadron leader remembered the moment when his plane broke down, and he still has lingering fears. At that time, he had almost no vision. All shells.

"Ah?" The lead pilot was taken aback for a moment, then looked at his squadron leader, and finally squeezed out this sentence: "Even if the head of state sent it to the front line, you don't have to give it away for nothing, squadron leader. Him?"

He didn't intend to crowd out Hardman, but he really didn't expect Hardman to suddenly burst into such an amazing fighting power after a dragging flight. Not to mention him, if it were anyone, there would be no imagination to come up with the scene where Hardman is against eleven.

"Uh... I only have one record today... The rest of the enemy planes were shot down by Hardman. He performed very well today and shot down ten planes." The squadron leader glanced at his subordinates and said: " His flying skills are very... amazing, yes, that's the word! Amazing! I decided to change the position, next time he is the lead plane, I will fly him as the wingman."

"..." Heaven, earth, isn't it so exaggerated? Are you trying to play me to death? The lead pilot was about to cry. The squadron leader's flying skills and record in his squadron are among the best, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be promoted to the commander of the first-line fighter unit in the talented Luftwaffe. That's a great person who needs technology, technology, record and record-such a talented person is now willing to fly wingman for others, this is definitely a nightmare! right! A nightmare!

"Ten planes?" Another pilot walked over with Hardman. Hearing what the squadron leader said, he looked at his companion who was pinching his thigh in surprise, and then at Hardman beside him. Asked in disbelief.

The other ground staff and the pilots were so surprised that they talked. They had never heard of someone who killed 10 planes in one flight. Now that this person was in front of them, the shock was much more real than what they heard.

"Actually, there are actually 9 planes." Hardman felt that he had to tell the truth, so he scratched his golden hair and explained embarrassedly: "The last plane was so scared that the Soviets jumped out of the sky. No shots were fired."

"..." I am a little ancestor, do you dare to be more shameless? Everyone felt dumbfounded. You said that you are humble. Why are you bringing this up at this time? I'm afraid everyone thinks it's not exciting enough, so how about some strong medicine? Suddenly everyone had a thought: This world is too dreamy to be real at all.

"Hardman! In the future, we will fly as a team. You will fly as the lead plane, and I will fly as a wingman to cooperate with you." The squadron leader smiled and patted Hardman on the shoulder, and said, "Go, go back and write the flight report. Go to the brigade, write in more detail. I will teach you what you don’t understand..."

"Squadron leader... You still fly the lead plane, I fly the wingman... I, I think it's not good for me to be the lead plane." Hardman was a little shy, and said to the squadron leader: "How can I grab your squadron leader? Where is the location?"

"It's not about grabbing my position, but I think that if you fly the lead plane, you will achieve even more amazing results!" The squadron leader said solemnly: "Do you still remember what I told you?"

He looked at Hardman and said softly: "I said, I don't want to experience the tragedy of 1919, I would rather die in the sky than watch my plane get destroyed and then die on the ground. You are more suitable for the position of leader than me, so I will fly you as a wingman, as long as you can defeat the enemy and let us continue to soar in the sky, I will be your wingman, so what?"

Finally, he looked at the people around him, and then withdrew his gaze: "Hardman, I have seen your flight today, so I can tell you responsibly, I don't feel ashamed to be your wingman!"

In the end, the facts also proved the prediction of the squadron leader. In the large-scale air battle between the two sides that took place three days later, Hardman cooperated skillfully with the squadron leader and took down 15 Soviet fighters in one go, becoming the most dazzling pair of fighter jets on the Eastern Front. .

The two of them began to use Hardman's tactics to attack Soviet fighter jets in the air. This very oppressive style of play made the Soviet Air Force very uncomfortable. Because of the cover of the aircraft, Hardman dared to try a more adventurous style of play. He often approached and flew at a very short distance before firing, and then escaped from the smashed enemy plane at high speed.

With the help of proficient basic flying skills, the two piloted the Ta-152, which was originally the best piston fighter in the world, and their style of play began to gradually move away from a single high-altitude dive attack, and instead adopted a more flexible and changeable dogfight to attack at close range Opponents, taking advantage of the amazing speed of the Ta-152, they can use somersaults to bite the opponent's tail very conveniently, and then easily shoot down those Soviet pilots who thought that the German army would not fight in the air.

Some time ago, the 500 P-40 fighter jets that the United States assisted the Soviet Union arrived at the Soviet front, which caused the Soviet Air Force to feel good about itself, and the Soviet pilots thought that they could fight. That's why the Soviet Air Force's counterattack wave that appeared in late April and early May was quietly repelled by the new German fighter jets. As of mid-May, Hardman's record increased from zero to 31 in one breath. Became a super ace pilot of the Garland Squadron.

On May 15th, Hardman received his Iron Cross, which was awarded by Captain Garland himself and hung on his collar. No one has ever won the Iron Cross so quickly. It took Hardman less than half a month from joining the war to receiving the medal. R1148
