Chapter 683

Just when Catherine vowed to ensure the absolute safety of the Romanian oil field, the American horizontal sneak attack troops had already flew over the crimson Peninsula and were about to enter Romania. They were more and more confident about this attack, because they were getting closer to the target.

But no one noticed that not far above them, two German fighters had quietly approached the huge US bomber force. These two planes are the most advanced ta-152 fighters in Germany. The nose of the long plane is painted with a black tulip.

As a matter of fact, after the German strategic bombers bombed the crimson Peninsula last time, Hartmann's Squadron had been stationed nearby for rest, and the airspace was temporarily assigned to this squadron for guard. Although it is not the main airspace, Soviet aircraft on the crimson peninsula have been almost wiped out, and their squadron is not equipped with high-power warning radar as support, routine patrols over the battlefield must be carried out every day. As it happens, the two planes on patrol on this day are a little big.

"Hartman, are you really going to attack now? As a matter of fact, the fighter forces in the front base have already taken off, and they will come right away. We can wait for them to attack together, so it will be safer. " The pilot on the wingman was the squadron leader of Hartman's army. He was a first-class driver, and he was very prudent in dealing with problems.

"I want to try!" Hartman's voice came from the headphones, with a sense of solemnity. The squadron leader certainly knew why Hartman wanted to attack the huge enemy aircraft formation alone, because he was not very friendly to the large-scale bomber formation since the escort mission of bombing the crimson peninsula.

For Hartman, who advocates free flight and uses elegant and perfect maneuvers to shoot down his opponent, the dense flying state of the bomber formation has no aesthetic feeling, and even a bit more heavy texture. This subverts Hartmann's understanding of the word flight from another extreme, and makes him restless. He is eager to prove that his flight is the most perfect and powerful flight, and the best proof for him is to challenge a bomber formation.

"The enemy has a lot of escort fighters. We can't rush in any good way. Try the peripheral interference flight. Turn on the fuel and let them know we're here. " The squadron leader has always been very supportive of Hartman's opinions. He is the squadron leader of a flight squadron in his position. But once he takes off, he always puts himself in the position of wingman pilot. So Hartman is used to having such a wingman as a squadron leader, and they have also created a terrible record of shooting down a hundred times their own number.

"All right! I'm starting to dive! " Without any hesitation, Hartman gently pushed the control lever of his plane. The long nose of the flexible ta-152 fighter began to lower slightly, and the flaps on the slender wings were adjusted to a subtle angle. The powerful and extreme piston engine began to make a pleasant roar, and the speed of the plane gradually increased, A strong push on his back pressed Hartman firmly on the back of the seat.

The ta-152 fighter began to dive and accelerate. The speedometer of the aircraft shows that the current flight speed is close to 690km / h. This speed is still the patent of the German air force. Few aircraft in the world can fly out of this terrible value. What's more, this speed is not the limit of the plane, it's still accelerating, accelerating.

When the distance was close enough, the fighter planes of the guard escort formation outside the U.S. bomber formation immediately found the two German fighters spraying light blue gas behind them. However, their reaction was obviously much slower. After all, in the impression of the U.S. pilots, there was no aircraft that could fly out of the speed of the two German planes in front of them.

"Hey! oh my god! Those two German planes are too fast! " The pilot of an American P-40 fighter plane, looking at two approaching German fighters in the distance, exclaimed in surprise.

"Ready to fight! Get ready to fight! Keep them away from the bomber formation! The enemy's coming! Prepare for battle Obviously, the commander of the US escort fighter formation is not in the mood to carefully observe the performance of the German fighter. He is more concerned about how to prevent the other side from getting close to the bombers he protects, and how to use his own number advantage to kill the opponent.

Soon more than a dozen American planes adjusted their flying posture, and seemed to be ready to break away from the formation to prevent German fighters from approaching their flying formation. However, they obviously underestimated the performance advantages of German aircraft. Before they were ready, the other side's fighters had shortened the distance to a sufficient distance.

"Try this!" Hartman didn't save any face for the other fighter. Relying on the advantage of the 30 mm caliber machine gun, he fired a three-point shot at the huge bomber at a very long distance.

In the eyes of everyone's surprise, three machine gun shells flew to a B-17 bomber in the formation with a trajectory similar to a straight line, and instantly made three holes as big as a basketball in the fuselage of the B-17. Before most people can react, these two German planes have gone away with terrible speed, flying in a beautiful arc in the sky.

When the US Air Force pilot saw the B-17 bomber, which was emitting black smoke and kept descending, he realized that the air combat level of the other side did not seem to be in the same plane with them. The other side fully understands the performance of the weapons in their hands, and has almost reached the point where people and equipment fit perfectly. It is absolutely not possible to rely on training alone to be able to complete the attack at such an extreme distance. Of course, at this time, no American pilot has seen the 13 marks representing the 10 digit mark under the cockpit glass of the German aircraft. If they find that they are facing the German ace fighter pilot for the first time, I don't know whether they will cry with joy and celebrate their bad luck. For three years, German pilots didn't know why they were using the 7 on their opponents. When the 7 mm caliber air machine gun is used, the head of state forces the engineers to plug a 30 mm caliber axle gun into the aircraft. When the opponents have 300 or even 500 rounds of ammunition, the German pilots must carefully use the pitiful 60 rounds of air gun shells in their fighter planes. However, the pilots of the German Air Force persisted. They mastered the method of saving ammunition, and achieved terrible achievements by relying on this kind of firepower which was a little too advanced. Now this kind of patience and inexplicability disappeared in Hartmann's mind for a moment, and this kind of large caliber aircraft gun finally showed its due role at this moment, Also let Hartman understand a card more painstaking. It turns out that the head of state has imperceptibly cultivated the ability of the German air force to intercept each other's strategic bombers. The original formation flying of hundreds of strategic bombers blocking the sky is neither monolithic nor impeccable. Just as Hartman bypassed the US bomber fleet and praised the head of state's foresight in his heart, the pilots of the US escort fighter were filled with tears. The improved engine of their P-40 fighter was produced to deal with the Japanese Zero fighter, and its performance is good on the whole. However, in order to deal with the flexible and fragile Zero fighter, the weapon equipment of this P-40 fighter is 6-12. The 7 mm caliber machine gun has excellent firepower density and persistence, but it can't compare with the German 30 mm and 20 mm caliber machine guns in range and destructive power. The damned German aircraft obviously knew that they were at a disadvantage in number, and they would get into trouble if they rushed into the formation of the US escort fighter, so they carefully chose the maximum range of the spot fire jamming tactics, which just exposed the disadvantage of the US aircraft in range. People had been flying around, but they had no chance to fire. At this time, the U.S. Army's Air Force fighters had not invented the tactics of breaking away from the convoy formation and waiting in higher airspace in order to launch a second assault. They are still using the relatively backward accompanying flight escort tactics. They can only launch effective attacks when the other fighter is close to their own bombers. After all, the more advanced high altitude standby tactics are based on the advantages of the number of bombers, and the faster speed and more timely dive of our own fighters. If the Americans force to use the "second entry" type of higher airspace independent escort formation accompanying flight tactics at this time, The only possible outcome would be to watch faster German planes fly away after attacking the bomber formation“ The others kept their altitude and speed and continued to fly. The 11 fighters of the second unit and I broke away from the formation and formed a protective formation on the periphery. The other side had only two planes. Don't panic The American commander gave the order and flew his plane out of the dense bomber formation. Seeing the fighter planes of the other side speeding up their flight speed and forming their own flying formation not far away, Hartman raised his mouth: "they are out of the bomber formation!" No wonder he smiles, because for him, more than a dozen fighters are still sheep in the eyes of wolves, just prey Longling continue to add more!
