Chapter 1152 Air Force Delay
The engines on both sides were rumbling, and the hs129 swiftly pulled up from the low altitude. However, because of the altitude difference, its height was still not as good as that of the I-16. At this time, the I-16 fleet was already rushing towards food like a hungry wolf. Came up the same.
Khlobestov pushed the lever, his fighter had already aimed at an aircraft in the downward dive, and then he pressed the button of his cannon.
"Tom tom, tom tom!" The 20mm cannon fired a few shells, but unfortunately, at this moment, the opponent suddenly turned and left the channel of the cannon, and all the shells were emptied.
Hlobestov's brows suddenly wrinkled. The opponent's turn was too fast, indicating that this ground attack aircraft also has high maneuverability, even higher than their aircraft.
Next, you must attack carefully.
Hlobestov and the other side were getting closer and closer, and suddenly, the other side's nose lifted, and the cannons under the nose opened fire.
"Tom tom tom!" Three shots, three 40-round shells, shot at the I-16. Khlobestov quickly pressed the operating lever and stepped on the rudder, only to be regarded as dodging.
The two sides brushed past.
After passing, Khlobestov changed direction quickly, his body was pressed tightly on the chair due to the overload, he had to go around the opponent's back, and shot him down if he had a chance.
As he turned, he twisted his head hard to the back, trying to see what was going on with the German plane that had just passed him by.
The other party is actually turning, and he has the same purpose, and what is even more frightening is that the other party is turning faster than him.
Who could believe that such a twin-engine attack plane could fly so agilely, Khlobestov secretly cried out in his heart, he knew that he could no longer turn around, he pulled the operating lever, and the fighter plane began to climb upwards.
The engine of the I-16 is less than 800 horsepower, but at the same time its dead weight is less than two tons. Now the engine is running at full speed, pulling the aircraft to climb upwards, and then diving down when it climbs to a certain height. The attack aircraft of the other party will definitely not be able to catch up. come up.
Hlobestov had found that the opponent's horizontal maneuverability was very good, so he immediately used the maneuver in the vertical plane to fight the opponent.
But he didn't know that compared with hs129, vertical maneuvering would be even more courting death.
Vertical maneuvering requires the power of the engine. Two engines are always better than one engine.
Behind him, Lieutenant Hans also pulled the lever and climbed after him.
When ascending, the speed is converted into altitude. As long as the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine cannot reach 1, it will always lose speed.
Whoever's speed drops to 0 first must turn into a dive, otherwise it will definitely be a stall spin. In fact, many aircraft have to dive down before decelerating to 0 at all.
Now, Lieutenant Hans continued to follow behind the opponent, watching the opponent's height getting higher and lower, and the speed getting lower and lower, and then, when the opponent pushed the control stick and was about to dive down, the opponent's aircraft in the sights quickly When it becomes larger, the moment when the projected area is the largest is the opportunity to fire that he is waiting for.
"Tom tom tom!" HS129 opened fire, a shell hit the wing of the I-16, and instantly, under great energy, half of the wing was torn apart, and then, the broken part began to ignite fire.
The mission of this attack is to attack the Soviet tank troops, so the main weapon of the HS129 is this 40mm Bofors cannon, and the armor-piercing shells are pressed inside, and only a few rounds will be mixed. With an armor-piercing incendiary bomb, in air combat, grenades are needed most.
If it was a grenade in the past, one shot would have blown the opponent's entire wing to shreds, instead of now, a large hole was pierced, and then the wing broke because it couldn't bear the tension. Fortunately, it was an armor-piercing burning The bombs made the opponent's wings burn.
A shot down! Second Lieutenant Hans thought in his heart that at this moment, he saw the unusual trajectory of the opponent's fall.
In the cockpit, Hlobestov's eyes were full of fighting intent. His plane had broken half of its wings and was out of control. He was still pushing the lever with all his strength. At this time, the German The plane, right in front of him, aimed at him and smashed him down!
This guy must have done it on purpose!
Second Lieutenant Hans hurriedly pushed the lever, his attack plane almost passed by the falling plane and was almost hit by the other side.
These stubborn Soviets.
After calming down, Lieutenant Hans pushed the lever and continued to chase another Soviet fighter jet.
At this time, the air battle that broke out on the battlefield also attracted the attention of many people.
On the one hand, there are the slightly old fighter jets, and on the other hand, the latest attack aircraft. The two are entangled in the sky. Some planes are constantly blazing, and some are rolling down from the sky.
From the overall point of view, the German attack planes have the advantage, because they have strong anti-strike ability, even if they are hit by Soviet planes, they are often safe, but their 40mm cannons, as long as they hit the opponent with one shot, the opponent will be completely incapacitated.
However, this action of the Soviet Air Force prevented these attack aircraft from attacking the ground. Now, the battle in the sky is secondary, and the battle on the ground is the main one.
Felix observed the battlefield with binoculars. His main tank had been surrounded by the Soviets. The two sides were constantly maneuvering on the vast plain and fighting. On the riverbank, the music of the tank soldiers was played.
"What did the Air Force do, where are the escorting fighter jets? Now, who will support our tanks?" Felix asked with dark eyes.
The battle in the air will not end in an instant. Even if it is over, those attack planes should go back. They only have a hundred rounds of shells in their cannons.
It's really not going well today.
The staff officer beside Felix said: "Commander, our fighter jets are coming, and they are expected to reach us in twenty minutes."
Twenty minutes later, when they arrived, the tank troops on his side didn't know how many shots were taken, and Felix's face was anxious.
What should I do now, will some tanks be drawn from the encirclement here? No, the Soviets in the encirclement are also just around the corner, ready to break through.
so what should I do now?
At this time, the tank soldiers inside the battlefield did not have so many concerns. They were surrounded by Soviet tanks, and they just had to fight.
They were very close to the second line of Soviet tank attack, and the turrets were still twisted back, firing at the most threatening Soviet heavy tanks.
