Chapter 1595 Machine Guns and Machine Guns (Plus 3)
Not everyone can withstand the test. Historically, the harsh military regulations greatly reduced the number of defectors in the later Soviet operations. At the same time, it was also because of the success of the defense of Moscow, which gave them confidence.
But now, Moscow is about to turn into ruins, and the Soviet edifice is about to collapse. At this time, of course, some people who are not determined will defect to the new camp.
Stalin's cruelty can frighten people or scare people away.
Leonid is one of them.
Leonid was desperate to escape, and now, Varissi behind him is chasing him, and anyone who dares to throw the enemy must be killed.
For this reason, Varisi even ignored the German fighter jets flying overhead. For him, traitors were the most intolerable. The P-39 fighter jet chased Leonid with a graceful glide line. the closer.
In the air chase, the plane behind has an advantage. Even if the speed of both sides is the same, the plane behind can cut the radius, thereby shortening the distance. Now Varisi's trajectory is exactly the shortest route.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and Varissy's eyes are full of anger, slowly approaching, approaching, and then, he pressed the button on the operating lever.
"Tom tom tom!" A 37mm cannon fired on the nose of the plane. Several shells flew towards the target with fierce murderous aura. As long as one hit, it would blow up a big hole in the plane.
At the same time, this cannon only has 30 rounds of ammunition, so it must be used sparingly when firing. Varisi can't keep pressing it all the time. Although it is cool, the shells are gone in an instant.
At this moment, Leonid actually pulled the rod and the rudder, the plane turned to the right, and successfully avoided a few shells that had been fired.
The ballistics of the 37mm gun is a little curved. If you want to hit it, you can only fire close to it. Just now, Varissie was anxious and missed.
Switch to machine guns! Varissi quickly adjusted his weapon switch knob, selecting the wing machine gun.
The firepower of the P-39 is powerful. In addition to the 37mm gun, there are also four 7.62mm machine guns on the wings. After Varissi quickly adjusted it, he continued to fire.
He wants to save some use of the machine gun, and the machine gun is not needed. Four machine guns and 4,000 rounds of ammunition are enough to form a dense rain of bullets.
At this moment, in Varissy's field of vision, there is only a traitor, and he wants to kill him!
The dense bullets formed a terrifying metal storm, and the yellow-orange-orange 7.62mm warheads flew towards the target.
Leonid felt his plane shudder feebly in the storm, and a volley of bullets swept into his tail, smashing his tail in an instant.
Then, another row of bullet holes appeared in the rear fuselage. As long as Varissi continued to pull the operating lever, the dense rain of bullets could hit the cab and shoot Leonid to death on the seat.
Just when Leonid was terrified, the German warplanes finally arrived.
By now, if Major Wiesenberg couldn't guess what was going on, he'd been too slow.
Obviously, this is chasing down traitors. The plane in front is probably trying to defect, so of course he will not hesitate to deal with the fighters behind.
Swooping down again from the air, Major Wiesenberg's plane easily caught up behind Varissy.
German fighter jets unified their weapons and equipment very early.
During World War II, the aircraft of many countries still used the machine gun as the main air combat weapon, but the caliber of the machine gun was too small, so the aircraft often dragged hundreds of bullet holes, and finally flew back unscathed.
The power of machine guns is already insufficient, so using machine guns as the main weapon of fighter jets will be powerless and must be equipped with aerial guns.
The larger the caliber of the cannon, the greater the power, but this will lead to other problems. The first is the small amount of ammunition. For example, a 37mm cannon has only a few dozen rounds of ammunition. That is, the trajectory is curved. The larger the caliber of the shell, the more curved it will be when it goes out. After all, the barrel cannot be too long.
Therefore, taking a comprehensive consideration, the 20mm cannon should be more suitable. At the same time, on the other hand, it is also because the German air-to-air missiles are already under steady development. Although they are still primitive, the future sky will definitely belong to air-to-air missiles. Yes, there is no need to engage in particularly large-caliber cannons.
20mm is just right.
The current FW190 uses the Mauser MG 151/20 20mm cannon, which is the main weapon of the aviation force. 20mm high-explosive shells flew towards the target.
"Boom!" A shell successfully hit the P-39's tail, smashing the vertical tail in half in an instant. It was only at this time that Varisi realized that he had made a serious mistake.
In air combat, one must closely watch the surrounding airspace, attack the target by oneself, and at the same time easily become the target of others.
Therefore, formation tactics are mainly used now. When the lead pilot attacks the target, the wingman will help the lead pilot to defend the airspace at the tail of the plane to prevent the opponent from attacking.
But now, Varisi is only in a single-player attack mode. In order to shoot down the traitor, he temporarily ignored the German plane, and was attacked by the German plane.
Half of the vertical tail at the tail was blown off, and Varissi felt that the fuselage was out of control in an instant. He firmly stabilized the control stick, and the fighter flew swayingly. He wanted to try to keep the balance of the plane, this At that time, not to mention attacking the target, it would be nice if he could fly back.
The P-39 was like a runaway wild horse, and Varissi's whole body was trembling, and he managed to control the plane. At this time, the terrible sound of machine guns sounded again.
"Tom tom, tom tom tom!" There was a flame on the nose of the FW190 fighter, one after another 20mm shells, after a short correction, flew towards the target again.
"Boom!" Unable to withstand another blow, the plane was suddenly blown up in the air, turning into a huge fireball, tumbling down and falling.
A victory!
Major Wiesenberg was extremely happy, and finally killed a fight.
Ahead, the fighter plane being pursued was still flying smoothly, as if waiting for Major Wiesenberg.
So, Major Wiesenberg slowly approached the P-39, and when the two planes were flying side by side, he could see the Soviet pilot on one side from the cockpit, and the other side saw him, showing a flattering expression. With a smile, he shook the wing a bit, pointed his finger to the distance, and told the other party to fly with me!
