With Romania’s preparations completed, the offensive from General Mandiv began on November 2. Still started by the Air Force, Romanian fighters flooded into Greek airspace unscrupulously.
Faced with the invasion of the Romanian Air Force, the old fighters of the Greek Air Force were completely unmatched. The Greek Air Force also knows this. They use the method of decentralized harassment to try to use their old-fashioned fighters to the limit.
Several Hawker 75s in the sky are expanding their engine horsepower to the maximum, and the pilots are slamming on the accelerator, trying to make the speed of this aircraft reach the limit.
The reason for them to do this is that there are nearly ten dark shadows chasing them behind them. If you take a closer look, you will find that this is a Romanian HF201 zero fighter. This fighter is not only equipped with the navy, but the air force also values its low-altitude high performance and prepares to purchase in large quantities. It is only limited to this aircraft that has only been produced shortly, and the production capacity has not been expanded yet.
Captain Zekov, the captain of the fourth fighter squadron of the third squadron of the Greek Air Force who fled, looked at the distance behind him to chase the enemy plane, and resisted using a microphone to speak to Lieutenant Wade, the captain of his second squadron. "Wade, this is not the way to go."
Wade also observed the enemy situation behind him, but he was somewhat helpless. "Squadron leader, what do you say!"
In the face of Wade, Captain Zekov has a solution.
Fighting is impossible. Before, I had a full squadron and tried to harass the enemy bombers, but I hit a team of HF201 fighters at one end. I think the opponent's fighters are not as good as my own, so I plan to take advantage. Just after waiting for a firefight, the advantages and disadvantages of the two have been reversed.
The next thing is to chase and flee, but the opponent is not only more flexible than himself, but also much faster than himself, and two of his own fighters were shot down while fleeing.
But now this situation cannot continue, and Zekov made up his mind to express his plan. "Next, we run away separately, we can run back one by one and count as one."
"Also."
Facing the words of Captain Zekov, the squadron leader, Lieutenant Wade did not hesitate. This method is indeed better than the other method. The next step is to rely on their own skills.
After the two decided, the escaped Hawker 75 fighters immediately divided into two teams and fled separately.
Captain Averek, who led the chase, picked up the microphone after seeing the action of the Greek fighter in front of him. "Walker, you lead the team to chase the right, and I lead the team to chase the left. If we continue to score, then we will also score."
"Understood, Captain."
After putting down the microphone, Averek couldn't help but looked at the fleeing enemy plane mockingly. I have encountered many of these situations in Poland. No matter how they escaped, they turned into the souls of their own guns. I really think I am an ace pilot who is a vegetarian.
That's right, Captain Averek became the trump card for shooting down five enemy planes in just over two months after the war broke out. Of the four fighter jets engraved on its fuselage, one bomber cannot be faked.
This also shows that Averek is a player with both strength and luck. Without superb technology, how can one shoot down an enemy plane, and without enough luck, how can one encounter an enemy plane. In addition, five of them can be shot down in just over two months, and that must have luck against the sky.
Therefore, Captain Averek, who came with his luck this time, had good luck again. Carrying out an **** mission, there is still meat coming to the door, so there is no need to say that these meat delivered to the door must be eaten.
Letting go is disrespect of God, and he has always respected God very much, and always liked to go to the monastery (over the wall) when he was in his hometown. Although Mother Ruununa didn't like to disturb the beautiful young nuns herself, she still couldn't stop him from respecting God.
As the escaped Hawker 75 fighters dispersed again, the chasing HF201 fighters also dispersed. By coincidence, the fighter that Captain Averek was chasing was Captain Zekov's plane. The pursuit of the two squadron captains was even more thrilling, and this also made Averek even more pleasantly surprised. Shooting down a skilled opponent is much more fulfilling than shooting down a rookie.
And Zekov has not been able to get rid of the opponent behind him several times in a row, naturally let him know the difficulty of the opponent behind him. After flying over a hill, Zekov was delighted because he knew that there was a small air defense position. The last time he flew over, he saw several 20 mm air defense cannons arranged here.
Seeing this, an idea flooded his mind, and he was driving the fighter plane to press the nose and flew directly there.
Captain Averek, who was chasing Zekov, saw his prey and rushed towards the low altitude, his brows were frowned. The previous battle made the Hawk 75 familiar with his plane, so he has been avoiding it. Enter low altitude. And now it flies directly to the low altitude, is it because it depends on it or is it trying to fool itself?
It's just that time is waiting for no one, and the Hawker fighter in front of him has opened up a distance between his thoughts. Averek didn't care about it and followed him into the low altitude. His fighter was so good that it had terrifying low altitude performance, and he was able to run away. It's just that he also kept an eye on his mind and put more energy on observing the surroundings.
After Zekov saw that the pursuing fighter also came down, he was delighted in his heart and immediately began to turn around after flying over the air defense position, making a posture that he wanted to fight his opponent. An attempt was made to drive the Averek behind him into a hovering state, because the fighters had the lowest speed when hovering, which was conducive to the aiming of the anti-aircraft gun.
Zekov's actions made Captain Averek immediately heightened his vigilance, and he intuitively told him this was abnormal.
At this moment, the air defense position opened fire. The four 20mm anti-aircraft guns on the position immediately fired at his fighter planes under the command of the commander.
"Da~Da~Da~"
Several chains of fire made up of 20mm shells turned towards him. One even brushed the side of the wing, and the entrained air flow had already shaken the wing.
Such a dangerous situation made Averek shocked himself, but fortunately, his luck was not bad. The anti-aircraft gun didn't have time to hit him and gave him time to react I saw Avi. Lake immediately pressed down the nose and continued to lower the altitude, only to see the plane approaching the ground quickly like a falling meteorite under his operation.
When the distance was only nearly 100 meters, Averek began to operate. I saw that the fighter plane almost wiped the tip of the tree under his operation. This superb technique stunned the officers and soldiers on the air defense position, and then they yelled at them. Because his operation was too fast, the anti-aircraft guns could not keep up with its speed. This is one of the disadvantages of bringing the enemy aircraft closer. If the enemy is too close, the speed of the anti-aircraft guns cannot keep up with the enemy's speed.
But Zekov saw the enemy plane pursuing him and escaped the plot of the air defense position, and he could really curse secretly in his heart.
The technology displayed by the opponent also gave Zekov no confidence to pursue it. He just wants to go back to the airport as soon as possible, and wait to see how many of his team members have returned. This time my mission was too bad.
On Averek's side, he sweated on his head after several consecutive difficult tasks, which were due to physical strength and energy. Now he didn't want to chase that enemy plane anymore. It was too thrilling before, and he almost was about to be taken down. Now he needs to go back and have a drink for a while.
The battle between the two of them is just a special case. On the first day of Romania’s offensive, Greece lost 50% of its air power, 20% of which was destroyed on the ground.
By the next day, the Greek Air Force lost 65% of its aircraft. These are the most elite aircraft in Greece. In addition to the backwardness of the Greek fighter jets, the reason for this is that the Greek land is not deep and there is no place for the Greek fighter planes to stop safely.
So three days after the start of the war, the Greek air power was almost lost. And the group army commanded by General Mandiv finally reached the outskirts of Leptokalia.
