Chapter 735

Flying has always been a human dream, and the person closest to this dream is undoubtedly the fighter pilot. Why not talk about the pilots of other planes? The reason is very simple. If it is flight to pull the control lever smoothly in the driver's seat, will there be so many people yearning for the sky?

Therefore, only relying on their own control, flying freely in the sky, is the real dream of mankind. Push and pull your own control lever with your hand, change the flight posture of the plane with your foot pedal, avoid those unseen and dangerous undercurrents, and turn the rules drawn up by God into your own wings. All these are the charm of flight.

It's a very pleasant thing to watch Hartman fly a plane in the sky. This young man always challenges human's cognition and perception of flying with dazzling flying movements. It's a pleasant process to watch him shoot down his opponent's plane. You will circle and roll with him until he tears his opponent's fighter into pieces in the sky.

Compared with the competition between modern air forces, the air combat in World War II was more ornamental. In a more professional way, it was the dog fight between fighter planes. The two belligerents use the aerodynamic rules to give full play to the best performance of their fighter planes, lure or limit each other to the combat field that their planes are good at, circle, flip, pull up and dive, and finally shoot down their opponents. This may be the most exciting thing for those who are exposed to androgen.

Hartmann's squadron leader is flying his own plane in the high sky at the moment. His head is tilted and he looks down at a wonderful dog fight. Hartmann's ta-152 fighter, which is almost painted with black tulip in the eastern sky by Soviet Air Force pilots, has bitten the tail of the other fighter, and his wings are shaking back and forth, Seems to be guessing the direction of the opponent to get rid of.

There is a relationship of showing off and competition between the German air forces, so each squadron and even each wing, including the air force, are fighting for the number and quality of some Ace Pilots. Because of this, it is very common for the front-line combat units of the German air force to give way to each other. For example, a pilot who has shot down four enemy planes will soon be covered by his teammates to complete his fifth shot down record and become an ace pilot.

By analogy, if someone reaches 49, then the team-mates of the 50th enemy plane will be modest and let him complete a leap in quantity. Of course, most of this happens when it is close to an integer, but there are some exceptions.

For example, German and even the world's Air Force's first man competitors will be regularly recommended by their own troops. Hartmann's current number of downshots is more than 170, while a magical pilot named marceyu in North Africa became famous later, but his record is close to 130. Between him and Hartmann, there were 13 German Ace Pilots packed together. The total number of planes shot down by these 15 pilots was about the same as the number of fighter planes that France took part in the war.

"I bet they're going to get rid of me to the right, five empires golden mark!" In the earphone, Hartman's voice came, with the tone of ridicule, it sounds very relaxed. At this time, his voice was like a big boy, and he was a little immature and high spirited. If he didn't know that this ace in air combat had shot down 171 fighters, he would really feel like a neighbor's boy.

"Come on! I'm not going to bet on this loser. " The squadron leader watched as the Soviet P-40 was turning to the right, just as Hartman had predicted. He chuckled, then continued, "how do you know he's going to turn right? Let's hear it."

Hartmann fired ahead of time on the route of the Soviet plane and fired ten 20 mm machine gun shells. The fighter plane of the other side seemed to live enough. He adjusted his angle and bumped into those shells. In an instant, the whole plane caught fire and exploded, disintegrated into countless pieces in the air.

At this time, he replied: "this Soviet pilot flies well, but he has a bad habit. Every time he wants to turn to one side, he will make a fake move to the other side. Last time I had to follow him, so I slowed down half a beat to catch up with him. I predicted this circle by myself."

"..." for this kind of monster who can make such accurate judgment only by catching an opponent's inadvertent small action, only speechless can deal with it. In the face of the great psychological pressure of the death of the black tulip coated fighter, many Soviet pilots would be nervous. This tension led to a lot of small movements exposed in front of Hartman when they were flying the plane, and these small movements eventually led to their being shot down faster.

Watching the Soviet fighter plane explode in the sky, the pilot couldn't even open his parachute. In the face of the German Air Force's terrible large caliber machine guns, small fighters can only rely on flexible avoidance of expended ammunition to overcome their disadvantages. However, in terms of the damage performance of single shell, the large caliber machine guns specially prepared to deal with large bombers can definitely be described as terrible in destroying small fighters.

This is also one of the reasons why the German air force is most criticized by its counterparts in hostile countries. Because it is equipped with large caliber machine guns, it is usually shot down by the German air force and has little chance of parachuting. Of course, when they scold the Germans for being shameless, unconsciously, Britain's latest meteor jet fighter also uses large caliber aircraft guns on its nose to deal with German bombers that may appear over Iceland.

The two generals Catherine and Dick did put forward the attack plan of bombing Iceland, because there are more and more British facilities on Iceland, and they are more and more threatening. It can be used as an outpost to attack and influence the British mainland, and also as a buffer zone, causing great trouble to the German Atlantic barrier. Because of this forward base, a large-scale anti Chamberlain March broke out in the northern part of Britain, and the main fleet, which the British are gradually concentrating, also has a larger space to move. With this depth, and with the cover of the road-based aircraft, the German aircraft carrier team can no longer participate in the operation of blockade of Iceland. In addition, another major reason is that Iceland now has some targets worthy of attack by the German air force. A few months ago, there was only one small military base here. It is obvious that using long-range strategic bombers to attack is not worth the loss. But now that radar stations, airports, barracks and other facilities have been built here, the value immediately becomes different. So whether marshal Reidel and Admiral lutjans, the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet in the Navy, Caitlin and dick in the air force, or even general Loeb, the commander of the C group army stationed in the British mainland, all these generals believe that strategic bombers should be used to carry out high-intensity and continuous bombing of Iceland, so as to disintegrate the last resistance of the British people. However, akado is still a little hesitant, because the commander of the Navy submarine forces, dennitz, thinks that with more and more new submarines, the German submarine forces have the ability to stifle any efforts of the Allied forces to strengthen Iceland's military reserves“ The other side needs supplies to maintain Iceland's consumption. Once the wolf pack formed by the new submarine cuts off the supply line, Iceland can only maintain the status quo at most. " Another reason for akado's hesitation is the lack of fighter escort. The range of the new ta-152 fighter can not meet the need of killing and setting fire in Iceland, but it is shorter than that of the old fw-190d fighter. So if we use butcher bombers to go to Iceland, the only way to use them is to escort them by naval fighters. However, it is worrying that the fw-190 fighter of the navy has only air-cooled model, and its performance has declined slightly after its structure has been strengthened. It is more than enough to deal with the Allied naval carrier based aircraft. However, in the high altitude environment, it is not enough to deal with the P-40 modified with Rolls Royce engine and the more terrible meteor jet fighter. This leads to a problem: the high-altitude escort performance of these naval fighters is insufficient to cope with the new allied fighters over Iceland. The escort task exceeds the performance of the naval fighters, and the butcher bombers can only carry out the bombing task without escort. This is similar to the method adopted by the United States in the early days of bombing Germany in another time and space. Its essence is to fight for consumption. To use a large number of bombers to consume the other party's war potential is similar to the real-time strategy game, in which the enemy's barracks are numerous and the enemy's buildings are demolished by the enemy's forces. It has no aesthetic feeling, but it has a very high attack efficiency. However, akado felt that it was not wise to use valuable aviation to compete with the British air force in Iceland. After all, Iceland was not the production base of the Allied forces. Even if a large amount of resources of the Allied forces could be replaced there, it could not really hit the other party's production link. In the end, it could only fall into the rhythm of "loss for loss" that Germany was most reluctant to see. Therefore, akkado subjectively preferred to believe Donitz's statement, so he made some inclinations in production. At least two months ago, the German army accelerated the production of submarines, and because of this, the production of four new destroyers was reduced. According to Donitz's plan, in the next few days of this month, five new U-type submarines will be launched. After a little inspection, they will go to the predetermined sea area to form a new wolf pack with prien's new u-47 and try to attack the route between Iceland and the United States on a larger scale.
