"Germans also have so many terrible planes!" Deputy concerned at the horizon replied.
"What are you waiting for! Tell the German liaison officer what we found! Come on! Wake them up and get ready to meet these planes! " The general big order way
"To contact the army? General! There are Germans at the nearby airport to help us with three E-19 fighters. We … "The adjutant asked this sentence.
The general saw from the window that the American plane didn’t bomb his residence and the city meant a long sigh, then turned around and waved and said, "Forget it! It is really so terrible to keep your strength. Let the Germans deal with it themselves! "
Chapter 62 62 liters against
"An emergency! Emergency! All fighter pilots to the standby area immediately! Emergency! Emergency! All fighter pilots go to the standby area immediately! " A sharp alarm sounded in the lounge of a secret army airport in Romania.
The two pilots bragged about how many enemy planes they had shot down in which battle-although these achievements were told by the parties several times, they would still be told as usual, just as everyone was willing to talk about the funny things in the game at the reunion.
Hearing the alarm, the two men quickly put the glasses in their hands. Although drunkenness is not allowed when they are on duty, there is no problem in drinking two French wines in the lounge to quench their thirst and brag. The two men rushed out of the lounge in tandem and quickly ran to the dressing room not far away.
There are already pilots in the corridor who wear black special leather jackets, goggles and Sam Browne belts and run to the apron. After all, some people can reflect faster and faster when playing poker in the locker room.
"Damn it! What the hell happened? The ground radar found the enemy plane? " While hitting his locker, he complained that his opponent had disturbed their rest. Although the German pilot swore a lot, his hands were not slow. In a flash, he had already taken himself off and thrown it into the cupboard and pulled out a warm jacket from it.
"I heard that the news didn’t come from the radar. When I came, the radar people at the airport also came together urgently. I heard that the news came from Turkey, saying that a large number of American planes crossed the border." There are well-informed people everywhere, just like there are people who like divination everywhere
"American plane?" Generally speaking, even if American planes attack Romanian oil fields, they will change their paints and signs to disguise themselves as British planes. Generally speaking, the German military department classifies such attacks as "British attacks" rather than "American attacks", but Turkey obviously does not have this habit. They rely on their own eyes to distinguish them.
"I heard that these planes flew straight to our side without changing the painting." The well-informed German pilot had already put on his own equipment and walked out quickly without any nonsense. This is an emergency after all, and everyone must rush to the apron for standby as soon as possible.
Put on a leather jacket. The pilot was stunned when he heard the other side say this, and then he left the pie mouth and said, "I don’t know if I can catch a fight once and for all, but before our plane got to the local anti-aircraft gun unit, those guys called all those 20 planes …"
"Hey hey! This time it’s different! I was chatting with that beautiful petty officer in the newspaper room, and the news came. I saw in the newspaper that Americans came. There are almost two planes, so how can we call the remaining planes? " Another pilot also put on his clothes and walked to the gate. No wonder he was in a hurry to get dressed. This time it will really add a lot to the record of shooting down. Who can’t be excited?
What happened? Are Americans stupid? Is this a declaration of war Isn’t it necessary to completely turn against the rhythm that hundreds of planes bombed without pretending to be British planes? Hearing this news, the German pilot was stupefied, and then he saw several comrades around him clinging to their clothes after hearing this news, so he also got dressed in a hurry.
By the time everyone closed the apron and the preparation room, it was nine minutes since the alarm sounded. The whole preparation room was full of pilots and commanders. The commander of the squadron walked into the room with information, and the scene was immediately quiet. Just now, it was discussed that a large number of American planes invaded and the buzz disappeared immediately.
"All planes take off immediately to meet these American planes. The number of planes taking off for training purposes has been determined. All pilots from 15 bases are involved in this interception operation." The squadron leader looked at all pilots and saw excitement in their eyes.
Many of them are pilots who have performed well in the front line, otherwise they would not have been selected to deploy in such an important position, but most of the time they can hope that Americans will not send planes to die and watch his comrades-in-arms on the front line increase their record by hundreds.
"I won’t say more. All the standby pilots boarded the plane and cooperated with the ground crew to make a final inspection of the plane, and then made the interception special weapon aircraft take off to meet the American bomber group." The mid-team leader nodded as if he was satisfied with his squadron morale
As a result, all pilots ran to their own planes, and the fighter planes deployed in this area of Germany were relatively mature FW-19D liquid-cooled high-interception ambassadors, which were specially designed to deal with the middle axis of high bombers. A 3 mm caliber machine gun with two 2 mm caliber machine guns was equipped with weapons, which could cause great damage to rough-skinned American B-17 bombers.
In addition, the German high-interception fighter can carry a rocket, which can disrupt the defense formation of the other side and disperse the bomber formation of the other side. This weapon has been very effective since Germany intercepted the British aircraft to retaliate against the bombing of Berlin.
One after another, FW-19D fighter planes glided in the center of the airport runway, humming as the engine drove the propeller. One after another, the wings were painted with iron cross identification signs, and then German planes took off, and then they formed a neat queue in the sky not far away. Four planes flew in a row to the distant sky, where more planes were knotting like locusts.
Just as German planes rose to intercept the American bomber group, at the same time, the American bomber group took off from the Black Coast and flew to Crimea. These bombers carried a large number of bombs and were escorted by six latest P-4 engine-enhanced fighters in the direction of Romanian oil fields.
Khrushchev and Marshal Voroshirov looked up and saw American bombers flying over their heads. They couldn’t say how disappointed they were. Now their situation is really bad. If the Soviet Union won the war, the two of them would be hanged by Stalin. And even if the Germans win the two of them, it’s not much better, and it’s probably the end of old age in prison
However, the two of them still looked up at the blue sky by a tree with withered leaves. There were American B-17 bombers in close formation. These bombers were going to bomb German oil facilities and destroy the German war potential. The wings of these war equipment were painted with a white pentagram, which looked different from the Soviet red pentagram, because there was a blue round background outside the white pentagram, and there were two white wide bars on both sides of the circle-this was the logo of American army aviation soldiers. Khrushchev and Voroshirov both knew it.
Almost at the same time, the B-17 bomber units attracted the attention of the Germans from the south to the north. This time, they carried a secret weapon that could interfere with the radar beam chaff, which allowed the radar method to detect the specific information of American targets in the area, including speed and quantity.
On the ground, the Germans deployed an outpost radar in Bulgaria. A radar operator looked at a piece of glistening flowers interfering with the snowflake screen. Nai looked back at himself, sir. "The enemy found chaff interfering with the radar. They are making chaff interfere with us. Now we can confirm the current course, altitude and speed of these planes."
"Rely on the original measurement data to speculate and calculate, and then send the message back to Romania’s second-tier radar observation." Officer Radda was obviously very depressed that the Americans had found a way to jam the radar, and deployed the battle order with his hands heavy. "It is impossible to continue to monitor the chaff in the target flight area all the time. They will show their tails sooner or later!"
Words have been back to the Romanian border defense command, and then a mouth with a pinch of little Major General Hu Jun grabbed his words and said respectfully, "General Catherine? I’m Garland, Romanian Defense Command. The American radar monitoring area has spilled chaff interference … Yes! They interfered with our radar surveillance and then did not change the flight path. They are still approaching Romania! It is that the plane has taken off and it is expected that contact will occur soon. "
"Americans this action is a bit weird, I think they certainly won’t have a foil so a cause! I don’t care what you do, you must make sure that one American bomber enters Romania! " There’s a hint of majesty in Catherine’s voice. After all, half of the German oil resource people can’t be careless.
Chapter 63 63 Flying faith
Just as Catherine vowed to ensure the absolute safety of Romania’s oil fields, the American horizontal sneak attack troops had flown over the Crimean Peninsula and the horse was about to enter Romania. They were more and more confident about this attack because they were getting closer and closer to the target.
However, no one in this unit has noticed that two German fighter planes have quietly approached this huge American bomber unit not far from their side. These two planes are the most advanced German A-152 fighter planes with a queen of the night painted on the nose.
In fact, the squadron of Hartmann has been stationed nearby for rest since the escort troops bombed the Crimean Peninsula with the German strategic bomber forces, and this area has been temporarily assigned to this squadron for vigilance. Although the Soviet aircraft on the Crimean Peninsula have almost been wiped out because it is not the main area, their squadron is not supported by high-power warning radar, but the battlefield routine patrol must be carried out every day, and it happens that the two planes are a bit big on this day.
"Hartman, are you really going to attack now? In fact, the frontline base fighter unit has already taken off, and their horses will come. We can wait for them to attack together, so it will be safer. "The wingman is the squadron leader of Hartman’s unit. He has first-class driving skills and is quite prudent in handling problems.
"I want to try!" Hartman’s voice came from the earphone with a hint of solemnity. The squadron leader certainly knew what Hartman wanted to attack the huge enemy aircraft formation alone, because he was not very friendly to the large bomber formation since the bombing of the Crimean Peninsula.
For Hartman, who advocates freedom to fly to elegance and perfect maneuver to shoot down his opponent, bomber formations are dense, and the flight state is much more beautiful, which subverts Hartman’s understanding of the word flight from another extreme, making him anxious, so he is eager to prove that flying is the most perfect and powerful flight, and the best proof for him is to challenge a bomber formation.
"There are a lot of enemy escort fighters, and there will be no good way for us to rush in and interfere with the flight. Try the fuel booster to let them know that we are coming." The squadron leader has always been very supportive of Hartman’s opinion. He is a squadron leader, but once he takes off, he always puts himself in the position of wingman. Hartman is also used to having such a squadron leader wingman, and both of them have created a horrible record of shooting down 100 times their own number.
"good! I dive! " Hartman gently pushed the joystick of his plane without hesitation. The long nose of A-152 fighter plane was slightly lowered, and the flap of the slender wing was also adjusted to a subtle angle. The powerful piston engine gave a sweet roar, and the speed of the plane gradually rose with a strong push back feeling, which firmly pressed Hartman on the back of the seat.
The A-152 fighter jet dives and accelerates. The speedometer shows that the current flight speed is close to 69 kilometers per hour. At present, this speed is still patented by the German army. Few aircraft in the world can fly out of this terrible value. This speed is not the limit of this aircraft. It keeps accelerating and accelerating.
When the distance was close enough, the fighter planes of the American bomber formation immediately found the two German fighters spraying light blue gas behind them, but their reaction was obviously slower by half a beat. After all, the American pilots had no impression that any aircraft could fly out of the speed of the two German planes.
"hey! My God! Those two German planes are too fast! " An American P-4 fighter pilot looked at two approaching German fighters in the distance and shouted in surprise.
"Ready to fight! Prepare for battle! Don’t let them near the bomber formation! Enemy planes attack! Combat preparation! " Obviously, the commander of American escort fighter formation is not in the mood to carefully observe the performance of German fighters. He is more concerned with preventing the other side from getting close to himself, protecting the bomber group and killing the opponent by taking advantage of the number of self-interested parties.
Soon, more than a dozen American planes adjusted their flight postures, as if they were ready to leave the formation to prevent German fighters from approaching their own formation. However, they obviously underestimated the performance advantages of German planes, and they had narrowed the distance to a sufficient distance before they were ready for the other fighters.
"Try this!" Hartman didn’t leave any room for the other fighter. Relying on the range advantage of the nose 3 mm caliber gun, he fired a three-point shot at the huge bomber from a very long distance
As far as everyone was surprised, three machine guns and shells flew to a formation in a nearly linear trajectory. The B-17 bomber made a hole in the fuselage of the B-17 as big as three basketballs in an instant, and before most people could react, the two German planes had already left with a beautiful arc flying method in the terrible speed.
Only when American pilots saw the B-17 bomber, which was shot with black smoke and kept dropping in height, did they know that the level of the other side’s war did not seem to be the same. The performance of the weapons in their hands had almost reached the perfect fit between people and equipment. It is absolutely not possible to complete the attack at such an extreme distance without a moment’s coherence.
Of course, at this time, no American pilots have seen the glass surface of the cockpit of a German plane, and there are ten Theory of Three Represents symbols with ten integers to shoot down the record. If they find themselves facing the number one ace fighter pilot in Germany for the first time, they don’t know if they will cry with joy to celebrate their fate.
For three years, when German pilots didn’t know their opponents’ 77-mm aircraft guns, the Fuehrer forced engineers to stuff a 3-mm axial gun into the plane. When their opponents had three rounds and even five rounds of ammunition, German pilots had to be careful to make their fighters miserable with six rounds of aircraft guns.
However, the German pilots persisted. They mastered the method of saving ammunition and achieved terrible results by relying on this kind of advanced firepower. Now this kind of patience and reconciliation disappeared in Hartman’s mind. This large-caliber cannon finally reflected its due at this moment and made Hartman understand arcado’s painstaking efforts.
It turned out that the Fuehrer had unconsciously cultivated the German army’s ability to intercept the other strategic bombers. The formation flight of hundreds of strategic bombers was not monolithic or sloppy.
As Hartman bypassed the American bomber formation and praised the Fuehrer’s vision, the hearts of American escort fighter pilots were full of tears. The performance of their P-4 fighter engine was improved to deal with Japanese fighters, but it was not bad on the whole. To deal with flexible and fragile fighters, this P-4 aircraft was equipped with six 127 mm caliber machine guns, and its firepower density and persistence were excellent, but its range and destructive power could not be compared with German 3 mm and 2 mm caliber guns.
Damn it, German planes obviously knew that they were at a disadvantage and would get into trouble if they rushed into the formation of American escort fighters, so they carefully chose the maximum range point-and-shoot jamming tactics-which just exposed the problem of American aircraft’s range disadvantage. People flew around and there was no fire on their side.
At this time, the US Army’s aviation fighter units have not yet launched the second assault tactics without leaving the escort formation to stand by in a higher domain. They are still making the escort tactics with flying relatively backward, and they can only launch effective attacks when the opposing fighters are closer to their bomber units.
After all, the more advanced and high-standby tactics are the basic and effective tactics to establish an advantage in the number of bomber fleets and the faster dive speed of our own fighters. If the Americans force the "second entry" independent escort formation in higher areas to accompany the flight tactics at this time, the only possible result is to watch the faster German planes attack the bomber formation and leave.
"Others maintain altitude and speed and continue to fly. The 11 fighters of the second detachment and I are separated from the periphery of the formation to form a protective formation. There are two planes on the other side. Don’t panic!" The American commander got the order and flew his own plane out of the dense bomber formation.
Hartman’s mouth was raised when he saw that the opposing fighters had accelerated their flight speed and formed their own flight formation not far away. "They have left the bomber formation!" No wonder he smiled, because for him, the number of more than a dozen fighters is still the wolf’s eye, and the sheep are the prey.

Chapter 64 64 is not enough
Passing 18-wheeler, Hartman has bypassed the edge of the American bomber formation and once again approached the American plane from the other side. The poor American fighter plane just pulled out a dozen planes and Hartman broke through his fleet defense from the other direction.
"chug! Chug! " It is Hartman’s precise and iconic shot. This time, the distance is closer to some places. This time, Hartman made a long shot and fired a whole 3mm machine gun shell in one breath. These ammunition are like eyes, and almost all of them hit the fuselage and wings of a b17 bomber.
Smoke billowed from the two engines on the left side of this b17 plane immediately, which was even more pitiful than that of the predecessor who was descending and slowing down. A shell just hit the flap of this plane and flew off the wing. The huge lifting flap caused the uneven thickness of the wings on both sides of this plane.
Moreover, two shells hit the wing root of the wing, which may have damaged the load-bearing support of this huge bomber. After a few seconds, the plane was hit by shells and its wing was broken due to air resistance. After the wing was broken, the plane crashed and fell, and smoke and burning oil were thrown everywhere.
"Oh my God! Fire! Fire! All bomber self-defense weapons are free to fight back! " Just now, although a b17 was hit, it was reported on the line that the plane had been punched with three holes, but it was not so serious that it crashed immediately. The size of its own plane was huge, and some American bomber pilots looked down on German fighters. They didn’t feel too nervous. They thought that the weapon root of the other fighter would not cause irreparable damage to their plane, so everyone was waiting for their escort fighters to crush those two flying German flies.
But now the situation is suddenly different. That German plane was fiercer in a short shot than shooting down a b17 bomber, and it actually fell, which had a huge impact on everyone’s vision, and it was simply a collapse.
So the bomber commander shouted out the order just now, and he made his bomber unit shoot freely to prevent the other fighters from approaching the bomber formation, but obviously he ignored one thing, that is, the bomber people are not soldiers who have suffered many battles, they can be said to be very well-trained recruits
So as soon as these American bomber battery shooters drove their hearts away in their own way, they feared that their weapons in their hands would pour their ammunition at the target crazily.
"chug! Chug chug! " Because the Hartmann fighter made a pull-up station, almost all the shooters in the driving turret of the American bomber could see that the German plane was still far away, and hundreds of 3 mm guns were aimed at their targets, and then the tracer swept in the direction of the enemy plane like a downpour.
"Emperor! You almost hit me on the 35 th plane! " The pilot of a b17 plane swore a big word in his earphone, and before his voice dissipated, another pilot complained that the fierce fire in front of him almost blew his nose off.
In fact, this is not the most annoying problem. The most important problem is that the other plane is obviously out of the attack range of the b17 double-mounted turret because of its high speed. However, the American bomber group is still raging with its precious self-defense ammunition.
"Idiot! He has stopped attacking distance! What’s the fire? Just aim at each other and follow each other’s position! Wait until the other side rushes over before the fire interferes with the other side’s attack! " An American veteran who participated in the bombing of North Africa battlefield woke up his teammates, but it was a pity that his intercom could be connected to the plane and the soldiers in other gun positions made a formation call
"Shut up! I can’t hear the captain’s orders! Hey! " The cockpit pilot is obviously not used to this big scene. Although he is an old pilot who has experienced war in North Africa, in fact, he has only performed three flights. The most terrible one was bombing Tobruk, but although he was violently attacked by German ground artillery, he was accidentally attacked by a few enemy planes.
However, it is obvious that he was unlucky today and was placed on the periphery of the bomber formation. After all, the United States rarely carries out such long-range bombing, and pilots with combat flight experience like him were placed in relatively outer positions.
However, it is a pity that the only plane flying outside him has just been shot down by Hartman, and now he has to directly face his opponent’s attack. However, from the nose painted with queen of the night and German combat maneuvers, it seems that the other side is obviously an experienced and powerful character, and it is a nightmare to fly outside to deal with such an enemy.
