Chapter 1730 Shar Pei (Plus 3)
Lieutenant Colonel Emile Lange is not famous in history, after all, from the German pilot aces, it is easy to find a large number of ace pilots with hundreds of records, like Lange, who only shot down If there are less than 200 planes, it will not be ranked at all.
However, he actually has his own glory. In history, he once set a record of shooting down 18 planes in a single day, which is the holder of the highest record for German fighter pilots.
As in history, Lieutenant Colonel Emile Lange was just an excellent track and field athlete and a pilot for Lufthansa Airlines last year, flying a Junker-52 known as Aunt Junker. Three-engine transport aircraft, engaged in civilian transport.
Like everyone else, Lieutenant Colonel Lange was so keen to join the fighter force that he turned to the Navy after repeatedly failing to apply to be a fighter pilot in the Air Force.
After all, the Air Force has saved a large number of pilots, and Lieutenant Colonel Lange is too old. Last year, he was over 30 years old. For pilots, before the age of 30 should be regarded as the golden age.
Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Lange was not absorbed by the Air Force, but successfully entered the Navy. Compared with the Air Force, the Navy needs the largest number of pilots with the construction of one aircraft carrier.
Although he used to fly a transport plane and is now flying a fighter jet, Lieutenant Colonel Lange quickly mastered all flying skills. Although he is old, he is not inferior to others at all. Lieutenant Colonel Lange completed the training program efficiently. , officially became a carrier-based aircraft pilot at the end of last year.
Later, after several flying missions, his rank was promoted to lieutenant colonel, and he has already had more than ten shot downs.
Now, the most glorious day for Lieutenant Colonel Lange has finally come.
"Shar Pei report, Shar Pei report, found a group of American fighter jets, more than 100, requesting an attack, requesting an attack." Lieutenant Colonel Lange shouted on the radio.
He and his wingman were originally on a patrol flight mission. Now, when they flew near the target, they were immediately excited. So many planes were simply giving them victory.
The radio nickname of Lieutenant Colonel Lange, called the Shar Pei, is evident from his pictures.
The empire is rich in handsome guys, especially soldiers. Those top ten flying ace are all handsome guys.
The appearance of Lieutenant Colonel Lange is really not close to the handsome guy. The years have left marks on his face, turning him into the face of a Shar Pei, and he is not angry after being called by others. Simply put Shar Pei as his radio code name.
Judging from his age, he is already a veteran, but Lieutenant Colonel Lange still has youthful passion in his heart.
He was not afraid. In his eyes, those planes were all his own prey.
Getting closer and closer, Lieutenant Colonel Lange was even more excited when he saw those planes flying at ultra-low altitude on the sea level. It was actually F2A buffalo. He was just here for himself. Here comes the results!
This aircraft looks like it has been pinched, thick and short, very similar to the fuselage of the I-15. Although various performance indicators were very strong at the time of design, in fact, because of the follow-up The excess weight makes this aircraft one of the worst aircraft, belonging to the bottom of the sea food chain.
These planes are simply here to give him a record. Lieutenant Colonel Lange is happy in his heart, and he greets his wingman and swoops down from an altitude of 3,000 meters.
In the Arctic region, observation is very inconvenient, there is a vast expanse of white everywhere, and it is often difficult to see clearly.
At this time, the two FW190 fighter jets that flew in approached almost unprepared.
"Tom tom, tom tom!" Lieutenant Colonel Lange had easily aimed at a plane when he dived down, and the axle gun on the nose roared, and just four shells hit the front fighter into the air and exploded. .
At this time, the American fleet discovered that the situation was not good. They were actually attacked by German carrier aircraft more than 100 nautical miles away from the target!
"Attention, climb, climb immediately!" the commander of the formation shouted loudly in the radio, and the F2As were ready to climb from the sea level.
Although there is no so-called energy maneuvering theory, the altitude of the aircraft is crucial, and at sea level, they are definitely beaten.
There were curses on the radio, some of the Germans and some of the guys who made the battle.
Why choose ultra-low altitude flight?
Before taking off, the task they received was ultra-low-altitude flight. It is said that because the German fleet has a perfect ship-borne radar, which can search for flying objects in the surrounding altitude of more than 100 kilometers. They want to get close to the German fleet. Low altitude flight is the most suitable.
However, this plan has been proven to be infeasible. They were attacked by the opponent's fighter jets far away from the German fleet. This is simply a slap in the face. How stupid an ultra-low altitude raid is!
A pilot in the F2A began to climb upwards, the front engines were rumbling and bursting into maximum power, the propellers were turning at full speed, and the whole plane was crawling upwards with difficulty.
"Tom tom, tom tom!" Suddenly, the sound of machine guns came from behind him, and then he felt his tail shaking, and the control lever didn't obey him. When he turned his head, he saw that the tail was already Black smoke began to rise.
terrible! When he was climbing, he was actually attacked from the rear.
He pushed open the hatch cover and jumped down with difficulty. The sea below was icy cold, and he had no choice.
The second one!
This day is the time when Lieutenant Colonel Lange performed a miracle. At the same time, this day is also the largest conflict between the German Navy and the US Navy fighter force.
The main factor restricting Lieutenant Colonel Lange's record was the number of enemy planes. He wanted to shoot down the enemy planes, but the surrounding airspace was clean and he couldn't find a target at all, so he could not establish the victory.
But now, all around are American fighter jets, and Lieutenant Colonel Lange jumped up and down in the opponent's fleet like a duck to water.
"Da da da." The machine gun on the wing fired, and the dense bullets shot into the opponent's cabin. The opponent lay on the operating lever, motionless, and blood splattered the entire cabin.
The third one!
"Shar Pei, you are amazing!" Following Lieutenant Colonel Lange, his wingman exclaimed loudly.
The German fighter formation is mainly based on the tactics of a two-plane formation. The wingman behind Lieutenant Colonel Lange followed him through the American aircraft group to protect his back, while Lieutenant Colonel Lange could safely and boldly Fighting bravely among the enemy planes.
