Seven Hundred and Thirty-Six Like a Stick in the Throat

Flying has always been the dream of human beings, and the person closest to this dream is undoubtedly a fighter pilot. Why not the pilots of those other planes? The reason is simple - if sitting in the driver's seat and pulling the joystick smoothly is considered flying, then would there still be so many people yearning for the sky?

Therefore, only relying on one's own control and flying freely in the sky is the real dream of human beings. Use your hands to push and pull your own joystick, use the pedals to change the flight attitude of the aircraft, avoid those invisible and dangerous undercurrents, and turn the rules drawn up by God into wings that you can rely on. All these are the charm of flying .

Watching Hartman flying a plane in the sky is a very pleasant thing. This young guy always uses dazzling flying movements to challenge human cognition and perception of flying. Watching him shoot down an opponent's plane is a joy to watch, and you'll beat to the beat as he circles and rolls until he rips the opponent's fighter to pieces in the sky.

Compared with the contests between modern air forces, the air battles during World War II are more enjoyable. In a more professional way, they are dog fights between fighter jets. The two warring parties use the rules of aerodynamics to give full play to the most advantageous performance of their fighters, lure or limit the opponent to the combat area that their own aircraft is good at, and finally shoot down the opponent by circling, flipping, pulling up and diving. It could be the most exciting thing.

Hartmann's squadron leader is flying his own plane high in the sky at this moment, his head tilted, looking down at a wonderful dog fight. Hartmann's plane was almost on the Eastern Front. In the sky, the TA-152 fighter jet painted with black tulips, which is well-known to Soviet Air Force pilots, has already bit the tail of the opponent's fighter jet. His wings are shaking back and forth, as if guessing the direction in which the opponent will get away.

There is a relationship of showing off and competing among the Luftwaffe, so each squadron and even each wing, including the Air Force, is fighting for the quantity and quality of some ace pilots. Because of this, it is very common for the Luftwaffe's first-line combat units to give in to each other. For example, a pilot who has shot down 4 enemy planes will soon be covered by his teammates to complete his 5th shot down record and be promoted. Become an ace pilot.

By analogy, if someone has a record of 49 planes, then the teammate of the 50th enemy plane will deliberately humbly let him complete a quantum leap. Of course, most of this happens near integers, but there are some exceptions.

For example, the contenders for the throne of Germany and even the world's number one air force will be regularly recommended by their own troops. Hartmann has shot down more than 170 aircraft, and a magical North African named Marseille As a pilot, he became famous late, but his record is close to 130. Between him and Hartmann, there were 13 German ace pilots densely packed. The combined number of these 15 people shot down the planes was probably the same as the number of fighter jets that participated in the war in France that year.

"I bet the other side got rid of me to the right,

5 Imperial Gold Marks! "In the earphones, Hartman's voice came, with a teasing tone, and it sounded very relaxed. At this time, his voice was like a big boy, and he was a little immature and high-spirited. If he didn't know this air battle Ace has shot down 171 fighter jets, and he really feels like a neighbor's boy.

"Come on! I don't want to bet on something that is sure to lose." The squadron leader saw that the Soviet P-40 fighter jet was turning to the right, exactly as Hartman predicted. He hehe laughed, and then continued: "How did you know he was going to turn to the right, let's hear it."

Hartman fired ahead of time on the route of the Soviet plane, firing ten rounds of 20mm cannon shells. As if the opponent's fighter jet had lived enough, he adjusted his angle and hit those shells. The planes caught fire and exploded, disintegrating into countless pieces in the air.

At this time he replied: "This Soviet pilot flies well, but he has a bad habit. Every time he wants to turn to one side, he will make a fake move to the other side. Last time I wanted to follow him. It took half a beat to catch up with his movement, and I made a prediction myself in this lap."

"..." For this kind of evildoer who can make such an accurate judgment by only capturing the opponent's inadvertent small movement, only speechlessness can deal with it. In the face of the huge psychological pressure of the black tulip-painted fighter jets, many Soviet pilots would be nervous. This kind of tension caused them to expose many small movements in front of Hartman when they were flying the plane, and these small movements eventually led to They were shot down faster.

Watching the Soviet fighter jet explode in the sky, the pilot couldn't even open his parachute. In the face of the terrible large-caliber cannon of the German Air Force, small fighter jets can only regain their disadvantages by flexibly avoiding the consumption of ammunition, but when it comes to the damage performance of a single shell, the large-caliber cannon specially prepared to deal with large bombers Absolutely horrible when it comes to destroying small fighter jets.

This is also one of the reasons why the Luftwaffe is most criticized by colleagues from hostile countries. Because it is equipped with large-caliber cannons, it is generally shot down by the Luftwaffe with little chance of parachuting. Of course, when scolding the Germans for being shameless, unknowingly, the latest British meteor jet fighter also uses large-caliber cannons on the nose to deal with German bombers that may appear over Iceland .

The two generals Catherine and Dick did propose an attack plan to bomb Iceland, because there are more and more British facilities on Iceland and they are becoming more and more threatening. It can be used as an outpost to attack and influence the British mainland, and it can also be used as a buffer zone, which has caused great trouble to the German Atlantic barrier.

Because of this advanced base, large-scale anti-Chamberlain demonstrations broke out in northern England, and the main fleet that the British are gradually concentrating also has a larger space for movement. With this depth, it can cooperate with the cover of roadbed aircraft , so that the German aircraft carrier fleet can no longer participate in the combat operations to blockade Iceland.

In addition, there is actually another main reason, that is, Iceland now finally has some targets worthy of the Luftwaffe's attack. There was only a small military base here a few months ago, and the use of long-range strategic bombers to attack it was obviously not worth the loss, but now that a radar station, airport, barracks and other facilities have been built here, the value immediately becomes different.

So whether it is Marshal Raeder and Admiral Lütjens, the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet in the navy, Caitlin and Dick in the air force, or even General Loeb, the commander of the c-group army stationed in the UK, these generals are It is believed that strategic bombers should be used to carry out high-intensity and continuous bombing of Iceland to disintegrate the last will of the British to resist.

However, Akado is still a little hesitant, because the naval submarine force commander Dönitz feels that with more and more new submarines, the German submarine force has the ability to kill any Allied efforts to strengthen Iceland's force reserves. "The opponent's maintenance of Iceland's consumption requires supplies. Once the wolves formed by the new submarines cut off the supply line, Iceland can only maintain the status quo."

Another reason that made Akado hesitant was the fundamental issue of lack of fighter escort. The range of the new TA-152 fighter jets cannot meet the needs of going to Iceland to kill and set fire, and the range of the older FW-190D fighter jets is shorter. So if the butcher bomber is used to go to Iceland, the only way to use it is to escort it with naval fighter jets.

But what is worrying is that the navy's fw-190 fighter jets only have air-cooled models, and their performance has declined slightly after the structure has been strengthened. The P-40 improved version of the Sri Lankan engine and the even more terrifying Meteor jet fighter are somewhat powerless.

This has led to a problem. These naval fighters have insufficient high-altitude escort performance and cannot cope with the new Allied fighters over Iceland. The escort mission exceeds the performance of naval fighters, and the butcher bombers can only be carried out without escort. Task. This is similar to the method adopted by the United States in bombing Germany in another time and space, and its essence is to fight for consumption.

The loss of a large number of bombers consumes the opponent's war potential. To put it bluntly, it is similar to a real-time strategy game. Relying on one's own barracks, violent soldiers are against the opponent's strength to demolish the opponent's buildings. There is no aesthetic feeling. However, it has a very high attack efficiency.

However, Akado felt that it was unwise to use precious aviation to compete with the British Air Force in Iceland. After all, Iceland was not the production base of the Allied Forces. It can't really hit the opponent's production link, and in the end it can only fall into the rhythm of "loss for loss" that Germany least wants to see.

Therefore, Akado is more inclined to believe what Dönitz said subjectively, and therefore made some inclinations in production. At least two months ago, the German army accelerated the speed of submarine production, and because of this, the reduction of 4 production of a new destroyer. According to Doenitz's plan, in the last few days of this month, five new U-shaped submarines will be launched into the water. The size of the attack on the Iceland-U.S. air route.
