Chapter 689

Hartman piloted his own fighter and was familiar with a Soviet fighter. He was familiar with the performance of his opponent's aircraft. Compared with his unfamiliar American counterpart, his experience in dealing with Soviet fighter pilots can be described as very sophisticated.

For him, everything in front of him has returned to the usual appearance, familiar with the opponent's familiar painting, he is used to using his own aiming device to cover his opponent's aircraft, and then easily shoot down these poor people who are constantly making meaningless struggle. Watching the slightly cumbersome and old grass green aircraft burst into a gorgeous flame in the air, Hartman felt that life was still familiar to him.

In the sky on the eastern front, the German Air Force rarely meets an enemy. Even when the fighters of the two sides encounter each other, the cheap pilots of the Soviet Union are totally unable to pose a fatal threat to the German fighters. Now the battle has become that the Soviet pilots protect the bombers while the Germans attack wantonly, so there is no suspense. The whole battlefield has become a feast of slaughter, German fighters are chasing Soviet fighters and bombers everywhere, just like a group of eagles chasing a group of sparrows.

German fighters have obvious advantages in speed, so both Soviet pilots and American pilots use horizontal maneuver to get rid of the faster German aircraft. Sometimes, even Soviet pilots lower their altitude to lure inexperienced German pilots to engage in low altitude dogfight, so as to offset the maneuvering advantages of German aircraft in speed and vertical direction.

But now the fighter planes of the United States and the Soviet Union have been kidnapped by bombers to the high altitude, the combat area that the German fighter planes are good at, and the consequences are doomed. In any case, Hartman had never attacked a Soviet plane so easily. He easily accelerated his dive and easily smashed the Soviet fighter plane into pieces with his machine gun. Then he didn't even bother to pull up the plane again to find his own height, so he tangled with another Soviet fighter plane.

He adjusted his flight direction with a beautiful turn. During the turn, he aimed his nose at a Soviet bomber. Then he used his experience to fire suddenly at a strange angle. Because the maneuver of the shell was too violent, the tracer projectile mixed in the machine gun shell flew out of the barrel, showing a large arc flight angle, But after a short flight, the shells hit the poor SB-2 bomber as if they had eyes.

Even a glance at the smoky Soviet bomber didn't mean it. Hartman drove his own plane to pursue another target. The smoky bomber began to fall to the ground, and the smoke rolled into a dazzling fireball before it crashed. The culprits on this side are already firing on the second SB-2 bomber and have another record.

If we insist on saying that today is different from the past, it is impossible for the Soviet air force to gather so many planes at any ordinary time to send warmth to German pilots. Today, however, this kind of thing has really happened, and the scale is so large that it seems that it has never happened since the air war after the Soviet German war in 1938.

It's not only Hartman who is killing his opponent, but other German fighters are also continuing their attack and killing. They are flying fighters back and forth in the formation of Soviet bombers, shooting down Soviet twin engine medium range bombers one by one. The abbreviation of this kind of bomber is SB-2, but its performance is not bad. Compared with the American B-17 bombers just attacked by German pilots, its self-defense weapons are obviously not as comprehensive and powerful as the B-17. When facing the German fighters, most of the time, it is just waiting for death.

Moreover, this kind of aircraft is not as strong as the B-17. German fighters do not need to waste 30mm caliber ammunition to attack this kind of medium-sized bomber. In fact, the 20mm machine gun can effectively damage this kind of aircraft, and the effect is similar to that of attacking smaller fighters. With one short shot, the bomber would smoke and crash, with few exceptions.

In the end, Hartman reluctantly drove his plane back to the high altitude, overlooking the messy and smoky formation of Soviet bombers, and reluctantly joined the returning army. In the last dive attack, he knocked down a heavy and slow SB-2 bomber and knocked down only a few rounds of ammunition left on his plane, Completed all his battles today.

The leader of the wingman squadron who was behind him had already run out of shells. He could only follow the leader and pretend to be aggressive, so as to avoid Hartman's isolation and help him observe his blind spot. In view of the fact that the two men had long been famous among Soviet pilots, there was really no Soviet fighter to trouble them. It's an incredible legend that two planes collided in the middle of the enemy formation, and there was no one to try to bite the tail.

At this time, many German fighter planes have run out of ammunition. After all, the ammunition reserve of less than 300 rounds is too limited for a hunting with enemy planes everywhere. So the sky is full of returning German fighters. They fly to their respective airports in twos and threes. It looks like the tourists returning home after dinner.

There are fewer and fewer planes in the whole airspace. The reason for the Soviet Union and the United States is that more planes have been shot down and crashed by German fighters, while the reason for the German side is that more fighters have run out of their ammunition and are flying back. At the beginning, the spectacle of hundreds of aircraft entangled in the air has gradually come to an end. With the passage of time, some American planes finally flew to the edge of the target. They dropped bombs, destroyed some buildings and houses, and caused fires and some limited casualties. This is the first time that Romanian oil fields have been attacked by enemy planes since the war, or the first successful attack by enemy planes. Powell's plane was not the only suicide attack by the Americans on that day. In fact, at least three American planes chose to hit their targets to complete the expected attack plan on that day. However, only two planes successfully hit the targets. The third plane was in poor condition. In the process of crash or collision with the target, Powell's plane was not in good condition, He broke his wing, so the direction changed, deviated from the target, and crashed a house. In comparison, the Soviet bombers were more distant and less determined to fight, so they did not get closer to the US bombers. When they made efforts to get close to the oil field target, the second batch of German fighters arrived at the battlefield and completely extinguished the last hope of these Soviet pilots. The second batch of fighters were those German fighters who had let go of the US North decoy bomber formation. The main reason why they were anxious to return was that they received orders to rush back to their bases to replenish fuel and ammunition to meet the possible second attack. Facts have proved that Garland's decision can be regarded as foresight. If these fighters did not arrive in time, maybe the Soviet bombers would have caused some damage to the Romanian oil fields. The battle started in the sky for the third time. German fighter planes seemed to appear in the sky endlessly. Almost all the Soviet planes were shot down in Romania at last. The data recorded by the Soviet Union was that the whole army was destroyed. The summary report given by Germany said that about 10 Soviet planes escaped. As for who is more accurate, it doesn't matter. Similarly, the loss of American bomber troops is also very huge, even close to the level of total annihilation. Except for a few planes that fled midway, most of the American planes involved in the operation were shot down. They explained their responsibilities as soldiers with their own lives, no matter what kind of tasks, Soldiers will resolutely carry out the orders given to them in order to win. In the same way, the attack completely awakened the German Air Force lying on the warm bed of the invincible. In the previous battles, the German air force always felt that they were hunters. They launched, hunted, and annotated the knight like air combat with grace and agility, but all these were broken today. The sky is no longer blue, the air battle is no longer gentlemanly, the enemy's aircraft regardless of damage lost to complete the distant campaign goal, to the whole battle are covered with a dark red sad color. Looking at a collapsed civil building on fire, looking at the broken rubble and glass scattered all over the originally clean streets and alleys, although this is Romania, the German Garrison and officers saw the cruelty of the war for the first time. For the first time, they felt that the muzzle of each other's guns was beside them, not so far away. Not far away, an oil depot of a petrochemical enterprise is exploding. The smoke is visible from several kilometers away. The terrible explosion and the sound of air defense alarm can be heard in the whole city. It's just like London a year ago. Although it's light, it's full of smoke. The war has never been so close to here“ Let's give a report to Bolin. Our performance is really not good this time. " Garland, after the workers and the army's repair troops repaired the equipment of the petrochemical enterprise, reluctantly issued his own order. In his tone, there was a bitter taste everywhere Don't go away, there's another chapter in the evening! In fact, it was two shifts yesterday. As a result, Long Ling was careless. He forgot to update and went to sleep... I kneel down here to ask everyone to forgive me. At the third shift in the evening, I will make up for yesterday's debt!
