Chapter 1203 I Want to Fly Higher (Plus 1)

In the vast sky, there are no clouds in the sky. It is said that this should be a good weather for searching. However, any pilot knows that it is not so simple to visually detect the plane in the opposite sky.

The pilot's eyes are sharp, but the plane flying from the other side is only a bright spot. This has to rely on the advantage of sunlight. If the other side's plane is identified, the other side must have discovered their own side.

For every pilot, visual search for targets is one of the most common subjects and must get full marks.

Kalarixin didn't know that this visual search would be so simple.

Twenty minutes later, he saw a white line flying in the sky.

Under the right weather conditions, jet planes can easily form a white trail in the sky, which cannot be eliminated, and this trail exposed the Lightning bomber to Soviet pilots in advance.

The white line that appeared in the blue sky was clear, and when they saw this white line, both of them were shocked.

What it is?

The idea of ​​UFOs in this era has not yet prevailed. In fact, in later generations, the so-called alien invasions are also grandstanding, and if an abnormal situation is found, there is no doubt that it is the latest weapon of the Germans.

"Come on, keep climbing and prepare to intercept," Pokryshkin shouted over the radio.

With experience, he has seen the flying height of the other party, which is similar to his own, which is about 10,000 meters. However, if they want to intercept, it is best to accumulate more energy, fly to a higher altitude, and deal with It will be easy to get up.

The engine in front was roaring, the throttle lever had been pushed to the maximum, and the two MiG-3 fighter jets continued to climb upward. At the same time, Pokryshkin switched the radio channel and briefly warned the rear: "Detect the enemy. The plane is 300 kilometers away from us. But there should be only one observation target, and the enemy's large group may be behind."

At this time, the distance between the two sides has been rapidly approaching.

At an altitude of 12,000 kilometers, Pokryshkin leveled the plane. At this time, he was condescending, and at the same time, the distance between the two sides was so close that he could clearly see the other's plane.

What kind of plane is that? From the outside, it doesn't seem to be much different from other bombers, but the two engines hanging under the wings are so strange, it seems that the propellers can't be seen!

At almost the same time, the bombers on the opposite side had also discovered the two Soviet fighter jets that had come to intercept them.

"Found the enemy plane, the altitude is 12,000." Yang Sen said to his partner: "According to the aeronautical chart, we are still 300 kilometers away from the target, and we can continue to raise the altitude."

Their Lightning Bomber only carried one ton of bombs. In addition, they didn't have any self-defense weapons. Now, after discovering the other party's interceptor plane, what they need to do is to fly higher.

"Climb to 15,000." Kroeger said, slowly pulling the throttle lever with his left hand to turn on the power of both engines, at the same time, pulling the lever with his right hand slowly, the bomber began to continue to climb.

The engines on both sides slowly entered the state of full power, and the speed increased to 9,000 rpm again. The tail of the engine began to spew orange flames, and the bomber climbed upwards.

Before the eyes of the Soviet pilots, the climb of the bomber was beyond their imagination.

The engine under the wing will shoot fire to the rear! Now that the distance is closer, they have already seen that the two white smoke in the sky are formed behind the engine. This is simply too strange. With the fire of the engine, the other party is climbing and climbing.

"Oops, we'll miss the interception, and continue to climb!" After observing for a few seconds, Pokryshkin realized that something was wrong, and continued to climb up with his wingman.

But at this time, their engine has reached the limit state, the air in the high altitude is thin, the engine cannot absorb enough air, the combustion is incomplete, and the power of the engine will drop.

The front exhaust pipes of the engine are already starting to emit black smoke. The two MiG-3s are doing their best to climb to an altitude of 13,000 kilometers. If they are seen from a distance, they can be somewhere with the Lightning Bomber. The intersection of trajectories, that is their only chance to intercept.

However, the Lightning Bomber climbed faster than them.

Flying all the way, the fuel in the Lightning Bomber is constantly being consumed. After the weight is reduced, the aircraft climbs more rapidly. At the same time, it is also because of the turbine engine, which is naturally suitable for high altitude.

It doesn't matter if the air is thin, it has a larger cross-sectional area. The front of the entire engine is flying against the air, and a steady stream of air enters the engine. Under the agitation of the compressor, it enters the combustion chamber at the back, and the aviation fuel is burning hot. Then, it was ejected backward, converted into power, and propelled the aircraft to sprint forward.

Climb, keep climbing.

Soon, they climbed past 12,000, then 13,000, and then 14,000.

Just when the two MiG-3s were still climbing towards an altitude of 13,000 kilometers, the plane on the opposite side had already flown to an altitude of 14,000 kilometers. Kryshkin also failed to seize any shooting opportunities.

They could only look up, watching the bomber disappear behind them, watching their plane pass through the white smoke, their necks already hurt, and their hearts were extremely shocked.

What is the German secret weapon?

When the two sides crossed, they had already seen the black cross on the wing, which was indeed a German bomber, and at the same time they could see clearly that the plane had no propeller.

"It's definitely over 14,000, and it's still climbing!" Karariksin shouted over the radio, unable to hide his shock: "Also, it's flying faster than us, too! !"

Last time, the Soviet pilots also used the jumping tactics to fly higher, but that was limited. For example, their current MiG-3, no matter how they jumped, could not exceed 14,000, and The other party can actually fly to a higher altitude!

At the same time, the speed of the other party is also quite fast. This kind of bomber is beyond the combat range of the MiG-3, and they cannot intercept it.

Kalarixin was shocked, as was Pokryshkin, who turned his head and gave up the pursuit of the bomber.

"The German bomber, with a height of more than 14,000 and a speed of about 700, is expected to arrive in Petersburg in half an hour. It seems that there is only one bomber. We continue to fly westward for patrol." There was a call in the radio, and while pushing his own fighter jet, he decided to continue flying west.

If there is only this one, then it is good to say that if all the aircraft behind it are of this kind, then the MiG-3 fighter force will have no possibility of interception, and the end of Petersburg will be tragic.

Pokryshkin worked hard to suppress this idea. Now, what he needs is to fight bravely. Their aircraft can intercept bombers such as Junkers-290.
