Of course, he was tucking away from Admiral Doenitz, and the admiral was helpless. He shared a stand with Catherine, and make complaints about it: "do you think I have no trouble in this area? I have five submarines under my command. The captain's Iron Cross is higher than mine. Not only your air force has a Hartman, but our navy also has a prion
At this moment, Hartmann's squadron leader is discussing with the legendary pilot about the configuration of the jet fighter: "it's said that this new type of plane can easily fly at nearly 700 km / h. I believe that in the future, this kind of aircraft that can fly faster and higher will become the mainstream of the air force. "
"If we can fly faster and shoot down the enemy, what else should we pilots do?" With a smile, Hartman pointed to the towering 88mm antiaircraft artillery not far away and said to his squadron leader, "the shells fly much faster than the planes, but they don't turn."
"But I've heard that the air defense forces in the capital have officially changed into jets, and it's an order from your most revered head of state." The squadron leader looked back at the novice pilot interns who were running training in the distance, and continued to say to Hartman, "didn't you say that, the words of the Fuehrer are always right."
"Of course! The Fuehrer is right. " Hartman nodded, then stubbornly pointed to the ta-152 fighter behind him, which was called black death by the Soviet Union, and firmly said: "because good pilots can't mass produce, the Fuehrer can only mass produce faster planes to meet the needs of rookies who can only dive and fire."
"Ha ha." The squadron leader burst out laughing, and then separated the space with his hand. Hartman said: "you, when it comes to flying, you are sharp like a killer. Usually in the bedroom, you speak at least a hundred times softer than you do now. "
With a smile folded, the squadron leader looked at the fighter which had won numerous honors for the whole Squadron, the whole brigade and even the whole eastern air force, and solemnly asked, "so, Captain Hartman, do you agree that our squadron is the first to change into the new me-239 jet fighter?"
"Yes." Hartman scratched his face with his finger, and then replied, "let's apply after at least a few other squadrons are lined up. After all, we are more experienced when we fly old fighters. And I hate the new weapons, the feeling that I'm always on the lookout for aircraft failures in the sky. "
We should know that a kind of weapon equipment is not unchangeable in the process of installation. On the contrary, this large-scale replacement is a long process that needs repeated modification. It is not that Hartmann despises new weapons and equipment, but that the latest weapons and equipment are often unreliable.
In the high altitude of cold and thin air, in the air battle of pulling and circling each other, the aircraft that Hartman needs to fly always keeps the best working condition. Even a moment of hesitation may change the result of an air battle. The sense of control that Hartman and his fighter have built up for a long time is absolutely a wonderful connection that is hard to describe.
If you change a new plane, challenge the airflow and the enemy, a subconscious action will make you doomed. When you reach for a button, you find it is not there. This is definitely a terrible disaster. It's like the feeling of desperation when you change the keyboard and often type the wrong words.
So Hartman himself is very cautious about changing to a new jet. As a fighter pilot who spent thousands of hours in the sky, he seemed more willing to give his life to his more familiar ta-152 fighter.
"According to the above order, we will strengthen the battlefield control over the southern airspace in recent days." At the end of the last topic, the squadron leader began to talk about the recent task arrangement: "it seems that the bombers are transferring from the west line... You know, our fuel is much more abundant than half a year ago."
"There's no problem. Just send more fighters to patrol. The Soviets rarely send out planes to intercept our fighter patrol formation. Recently, the Soviet air force seemed very concerned about the air defense near Kursk, where I shot down six enemy planes... "Hartman recalled.
"In the afternoon, we'll fly around again." The squadron leader patted Hartman on the shoulder, and then said, "Hey, since we have added so much aviation fuel, it's not too much for us to fly one more time." As he spoke, he turned and walked to the other side of the runway. The new pilots had finished their running and stood there in order, waiting for their squadron leader to start lecturing.
It's no news that the Soviet troops in Kursk are shrinking. General goodrian is slowly pushing the G group army's defense line northward, seizing Zhukov's armored cluster, and preventing the troops from going north to Moscow easily. Zhukov split the whole into parts and transferred the armored forces to the south of Moscow. We all know the means, but the German army couldn't dispatch too many troops to launch a fierce attack against the armored forces of the Central Soviet army.
Since the last Kursk battle, the German G group army was forced to retreat by Zhukov group, it has been suffering from its own wounds. More and more tiger king tanks were added, which made general goodrian's waist harder and harder. More than ten days ago, his troops could not bear loneliness and began to push northward.
Along the way, the first German armored army was in full swing. It successively occupied several important village strongholds and tore up part of the defense line on the flank of the Soviet army. However, it never met the large-scale resistance of the Soviet Red Army. Compared with the G group army, which is gradually strengthening, Zhukov's armored group is indeed declining. At least in terms of the number of tanks, the Soviet armored forces can no longer gain an overwhelming advantage“ Zhukov's troops are moving northward, and the number of troops he has deployed is small, but they are all the more elite main forces. " In his armored command vehicle, goodrian pressed his palm near Kursk. He has been silent for almost a month, which makes him feel uncomfortable: "what is blocking our progress are some T-26 tank chassis modified tank destroyers, and some scattered infantry units. We should quickly launch a exploratory assault to find out the core defense position of Zhukov cluster."“ The 3rd SS Panzer Division is already attacking the northeast, and the farthest troops have reached this area. " Pointing to the map, the chief of staff reported to goodrian the latest progress of the troops: "the reconnaissance unit of the 1st Armored Force encountered resistance from the Soviet army in the eastern part of Kursk. They reported that the enemy had T-34 tanks, which should be the main force of the Soviet Union."“ The air force is working hard to destroy Zhukov's traffic lines. We have attacked traffic nodes, railway lines and villages along the way. Several key areas that have been noted have also sent do-217 bombers to carry out carpet bombing. " Without waiting for goodrian to inquire, the liaison officer of the air force introduced the cooperation of the air force. In recent days, he has also straightened his back. The reduction of bombing scale caused by lack of oil has been completely alleviated. Now the air force launches dozens or hundreds of sorties every day, which makes the Soviet people suffer“ It's time to carry out operational plan 2. " Goodrian nodded and took back his eyes from the map. He grabbed the walkie talkie hanging on the bulkhead of the armored car and said in a loud voice to the microphone: "I'm goodrian. Connect me to wolf den, marshal brauchich... I'm goodrian. According to the intelligence analysis of the investigation team, I think the time is ripe to implement the No. 2 operation plan." Marshal blauchich was silent for a moment on the other side of the phone. Then he said, "well, general goodrian, you can prepare for the attack. I'll report the situation to the head of state. If the supreme command has no other opinions, I have no opinions either I'd like to apologize for updating so late. I'm sorry.
