Chapter 1100: Beyond the ceiling

Kubinka Air Force Base, Moscow Region.

Grigory Andreevich Lechkalov, who is just twenty years old this year, is the golden age of a person. His whole body exudes a kind of vigorous energy.

Wearing his flying cap, he and his lead pilot Alexander Pokresigin walked towards the apron together.

As the air force stationed near Moscow, they have to lift off every day and cruise around their own capital. At the same time, during the flight, they can also conduct some tactical training.

Stepping into his cockpit, putting on an oxygen mask, Lechkalov expertly started the engine.

The AM-35 engine made a loud roar, and two MiG-1s slid off the tarmac and onto the runway. Then, the two-aircraft formation quickly took off.

The 1200-horsepower engine was roaring, pulling the two fighter jets to climb quickly, and after ten minutes, they climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Looking down from this height, you can see the edge of the earth, this is an extremely intoxicating scene!

The heavy oxygen mask allows people to hear their own breathing. Lechkalov's sharp eyes looked around, and he searched the surrounding airspace little by little according to the fan-shaped search principle.

His long plane Pokresikin and him searched half of the airspace. In this way, the two of them flew and searched, and circled Moscow Oblast.

This kind of cruise is quite boring.

"067 Call 066." Lechkalov called his lead plane on the radio: "Request for maneuver training, request for maneuver training."

"067, wait twenty minutes, we will fly after the first cruise." the long-time flight Pokresikin shouted.

Old-fashioned Soviet airplanes did not even have radio stations. However, this newly equipped airplane was finally equipped with radio stations, which greatly facilitated the aerial communication.

It's only half a circle now. You have to complete a circle of cruise before you can do so few moves in the air and feel the beauty of wandering in the sky.

"Received at 067." Lechkalov finished answering, looking around, the clouds were vast, and there was no special situation in the airspace below.

When he retracted his gaze, he unconsciously glanced upward from the corner of his eye, and suddenly, a bright spot was printed on his retina.

In an instant, he became excited.

"066, a suspicious target was found, eleven o'clock, above us." Lechkalov called, pushing the throttle lever to maximize the power of the engine, and pulling the operating lever, the fighter began to climb again. .

Pokresikin also turned his gaze there, and when he caught the bright spot, he felt a thump in his heart, high-altitude airplane!

In his visual estimation, the flying altitude of that plane was several kilometers higher than his own! It immediately reminded him of the situation when the German head of state came to the Soviet a few months ago.

At that time, they also dispatched the MiG-1, and they barely flew to the other's flight altitude and completed the **** mission. After that, Pokresigin wrote a report specifically about the German fighters. The performance at an altitude of 3,000 meters, it is recommended that we develop new fighters to deal with it.

It is said that Mikoyan is very important, and is developing a new generation of aircraft, code-named MiG-3, which will soon enter the army. The high-altitude performance of this aircraft is a step up to that of MiG-1!

"066 called the base, found the unidentified aircraft, prepare to intercept." Pokresikin called from the radio, and at the same time pushed the joystick, and began to climb.

Last time, it was an escort, as long as it could fly up, but this time, it was a battle, to intercept, no matter what height the enemy is at, he must also knock down the enemy. Anyone who invades Soviet airspace must accept punishment!

Two MiG-1 fighters climbed up with difficulty, one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three...

The distance gradually narrowed, and the plane entered the vision of the two more clearly.

This plane is different from any plane they have seen.

In terms of size, it belongs to the level of a medium bomber, with only two engines, similar to the German Junker-88, but the structure of the tail wing is different, and the sound of the aircraft's engine is also very strange.

In the known data, the German Junker-88 does not have such a long range. What kind of aircraft is this?

Moreover, the flying altitude of this aircraft has exceeded its own ceiling! Now it seems that the opponent is at least one kilometer taller than oneself!

"Boss, we have to think of something special." Lechkalov's voice came through the radio, and at this moment, he didn't even care about the call code.

Thirteen thousand is already the ceiling of the MiG-1.

The higher the place, the thinner the air. Under the maximum thrust, the higher the flight, the lower the lift. When the lift of an airplane is equal to gravity, it can't go up any further. This is the origin of the ceiling.

If they continue to fly upwards, they will enter a terrible spiral at any time because the wing stalls If they want to continue flying higher, there is only one special method!

"What way?" Pokresigin asked.

"Boss, yesterday I went out of the base and rode a bicycle, and I encountered a big slope." At this time, Lechkalov suddenly told a story on the radio, which made the long plane Pokresigin very strange.

This guy, sneaking out of the base, must have gone looking for a girl in a nearby village.

The distance between the two sides is constantly approaching.

"At that time, I was thinking about something else, but I didn't realize it was downhill. I kept pedaling, but the car got faster and faster. When it reached the bottom of the slope, I woke up and stopped pedaling. , There was a big uphill ahead, I didn't have any energy, and the bicycle was thrown up." Lechkalov said: "Today, I will use this method to jump to a higher altitude!"

After speaking, Lechkalov estimated the height and distance, then pushed the throttle, pushed the joystick, and the MiG-1 whizzed and started flying downward!

If you want to fly higher, you have to fly downward!

As he dived, the speed of the plane was getting faster and faster, and Pokresigin’s voice came from the headset: "Be careful, our plane is difficult to pitch."

This is a common problem of the MiG-1. Due to the problem of the center of gravity, the pitching operation is terrible and will lose control at any time.

Rechkalov’s face was stretched under overload, and even his voice changed. His plane had dived to a speed of 800 kilometers per hour. Then, his body was struggling with the overload, exhausting his entire body. With strength, hold the joystick back into your arms.

His plane, drawing a graceful curve, just like his bicycle yesterday, first ran down the slope, and then suddenly ran up! ()
