Six Hundred and Eighty-Three Flying Beliefs

Just when Catherine vowed to ensure the absolute safety of the Romanian oilfields, the American lateral attack force had already flown over the Crimean Peninsula and was about to enter Romania. They were more and more confident about this attack, because they The goal is getting closer and closer.

But no one in this force noticed that in the sky not far above them, two German fighter jets had quietly approached this huge US bomber force. These two planes are Germany's most advanced TA-152 fighter jets, and a black tulip is painted on the nose of the lead plane.

In fact, after the German strategic bomber unit bombed the Crimean Peninsula last time as an escort force, Hartman's squadron had been stationed nearby to rest, and this airspace was temporarily assigned to this squadron for security. Although the Soviet aircraft on the Crimean Peninsula have been almost wiped out because it is not the main airspace, their squadron is not equipped with high-power alert radar as support, but the routine patrols over the battlefield still have to be carried out every day. To be carried out. It just so happened that the two planes that were on patrol that day had a bit of a big background.

"Hartman, are you really planning to launch an attack now? In fact, the fighter force at the frontline base has already taken off, and they will arrive soon. We can wait for them to arrive and launch an attack together, which will be safer." The pilot on the wingman The officer is the squadron leader of Hartman's unit. He has first-class driving skills and is quite cautious in dealing with problems.

"I want to try!" Hartman's voice came from the earphones, with a hint of solemnity. Of course, the squadron leader knew why Hartman wanted to attack the huge formation of enemy planes alone, because since that bombing After the escort mission in the Crimean Peninsula, he was not very friendly to large bomber formations.

For Hartman, who advocates free flight and uses elegant and perfect maneuvers to shoot down opponents, the dense flying state of the bomber formation has no aesthetic feeling, and even has a bit more heavy texture. This subverted Hartmann's understanding of the word flight from the other extreme, and made him restless, so he was eager to prove that his flight was the most perfect and powerful flight, and the best for him The proof is to challenge a bomber formation.

"There are a lot of enemy fighter jets escorting us. There is no good way for us to rush in. Try to interfere with the flight from the outside. Turn on the fuel and afterburner to let them know that we are coming." The squadron leader has always supported Hartman's opinion very much. He is the squadron leader of a flying squadron in position, but once he takes off, he always puts himself in the position of wingman pilot, so Hartman is also used to having such a squadron leader as a wingman, and the two of them also created Achieved a terrifying record of shooting down a hundred times its own number.

"Okay! I'm starting to dive!" Without the slightest hesitation, Hartman gently pushed the joystick of his aircraft, and the long nose of the flexible TA-152 fighter began to lower slightly downwards, and the slender aircraft The flaps on the wings were also adjusted to a subtle angle, the extremely powerful piston engine began to make a pleasant roar, the speed of the plane gradually increased, and a violent push back pressed Hartman firmly. on the back of the seat.

The TA-152 fighter jet began to dive and accelerate. The speedometer of the plane showed that the current flying speed was close to 690 kilometers per hour. This speed is currently the patent of the German Air Force. Few planes in the world can fly beyond this terrible value. Come. What's more, this speed is not the limit of this plane, it is still accelerating, constantly accelerating.

When the distance was close enough, the fighter jets of the guard escort formation outside the US bomber formation immediately spotted the two German fighter jets spraying light blue gas slightly behind them, but their reaction was obviously delayed by half a beat, after all In the impression of American pilots, there is no aircraft that can fly faster than the two German aircraft in front of them.

"Hey! My God! Those two German planes are too fast!" The pilot of an American P-40 fighter shouted in surprise as he saw two approaching German fighter jets in the distance.

"Get ready to fight! Prepare to fight! Don't let them get close to the bomber formation! Enemy planes are coming! Prepare for battle!" Apparently, the commander of the U.S. escort fighter formation was not in the mood to carefully observe the performance of the German fighter jets. He was more concerned about how to stop the opponent Get close to the bomber group you protect, and how to use your own numerical advantage to kill your opponent.

Soon a dozen or so American planes adjusted their flight postures, as if they were about to leave the formation to prevent the German fighter jets from approaching their formation. However, they obviously underestimated the performance advantages of the German planes. Before they were ready, the opponent's The fighter jet has already narrowed the distance to a sufficient distance.

"Try this!" Hartman did not save face for the opponent's fighter. Relying on the advantage of the range of the 30mm cannon on the nose, he shot at the huge bomber at a very long distance. A three-point shot.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, the three cannon shells flew towards a b-17 bomber in the formation with a ballistic trajectory that was close to a straight line. A hole the size of a basketball. Before most people could react, the two German planes flew away in a beautiful arc in the sky at a terrifying speed.

When the U.S. Air Force pilot saw the b-17 bomber that was shot out of black smoke and kept descending, he realized that the opponent's air combat level did not seem to be on the same plane as them. The opponent fully understands the performance of the weapon in his hand, and has almost reached the point where the person and the equipment fit perfectly. Being able to achieve an attack at such an extreme distance and complete it coherently in an instant is definitely not something that can be done only by training.

Of course, at this time, no American pilots have seen the thirteen shooting marks under the cockpit glass of the German aircraft, which represent ten-digit integers. I don't know if I will weep with joy and celebrate my **** luck that is against the sky.

For three full years, the German pilots didn't know why when the opponent used a 7.7 mm caliber aviation machine gun, the head of state forced the engineers to stuff a 30 mm caliber shaft gun into the aircraft, as the opponent When they have a full 300 or even 500 rounds of ammunition, German pilots must be careful to use the pitiful 60 rounds of cannon shells in their fighter jets.

However, the pilots of the Luftwaffe persevered. They mastered the method of saving ammunition, and achieved terrible results by relying on this kind of firepower that was a bit too advanced. Now this kind of patience and incomprehension disappeared in Hartman's mind in an instant. Well, this large-caliber aerial cannon finally showed its due role at this moment, and it also made Hartman understand Akado's painstaking efforts.

It turned out that the head of state had unknowingly and subtly cultivated the German Air Force's ability to intercept the opponent's strategic bombers. It turned out that hundreds of strategic bombers flying in formation covering the sky and the sun were not monolithic, nor invulnerable.

Just as Hartman bypassed the U.S. bomber formation and praised the head of state's vision in his heart, the hearts of the U.S. escort fighter pilots were filled with tears. Their p-40 fighter engine enhanced and improved version was produced to deal with the Japanese zero fighter, and its performance is generally not bad, but in order to deal with the flexible and fragile zero fighter, this p-40 aircraft is equipped with weapons There are six 12.7 mm caliber machine guns, which are excellent in firepower density and persistence, but in terms of range and destructive power, there is no way to compare with the German 30 and 20 mm caliber machine guns.

The damned German planes obviously knew that they were at a numerical disadvantage, and they would get into trouble if they rushed into the formation of American escort fighter jets, so they carefully chose the burst-fire jamming tactics with the largest range-this just exposed the problem of the range disadvantage of American planes When they came out, everyone flew around, and there was no chance to fire on their own side.

At this time, the U.S. Army Aviation Fighter Unit has not yet invented the tactic of breaking away from the escort formation and waiting in a higher airspace in order to launch a second assault. They are still using the relatively backward accompanying flight escort tactics, and can only launch effective attacks when the opponent's fighter jets are relatively close to their own bomber forces.

After all, the more advanced high-altitude standby tactics are effective tactics based on the superiority in the number of bomber fleets, faster speed of own fighter jets, and more timely dives. The high-altitude independent escort formation is accompanied by flight tactics, and the only possible result is to watch the faster German planes attack the bomber formation and walk away.

"Others keep the altitude and speed and continue to fly. The 11 fighters of the 2nd squadron and I break away from the formation and form a protective formation on the periphery. There are only two planes on the other side. Don't panic!" The American commander issued an order, and then flew Fly out of the dense bomber formation with his own plane.

Seeing that the opponent's fighter jets accelerated their flight speed and formed their own formation not far away, the corners of Hartman's mouth raised: "They have left the bomber formation!" No wonder he smiled, because for him, In terms of numbers, the dozen or so fighter jets are still sheep in the eyes of wolves, just prey.
