Beiyang 1917

Fokkerdviii's No. 2 and No. 3 aircraft pushed the cao lever, took advantage of the opportunity of the coalition dh300 more than 4 meters ahead, and turned with its head covered, pulled up the plane and followed the lead plane of its own team leader Dolin, and quickly got rid of it and headed towards Ukraine. Fly to the territory.

The so-called time is too late, it was fast at that time, air combat fighting and pursuit are actually a matter of a few seconds or ten seconds, waiting for the sweaty Han Gang who was chasing at the gunpoint of the enemy Fokker plane, finally took the No. 2 wingman and When the No. 3 and No. 4 planes that outflanked from the bottom converged, the three fast-climbing German Fokkerdviii fighter jets rose to an altitude of 3500 meters as lightly as swallows, and retreated towards Ukraine in the south.

Of course, Han Gang saw that the three planes of the German guy were already running, and this guy was also sweating nervously just now. His own dh4 dual-aircraft formation was defeated by the one with better maneuverability and climbing speed when the altitude and speed were not dominant. The German fokker plane bit its tail and pursued. If it weren't for the big killer weapon of the rear seat machine gun to block the momentum of the opponent's attack, it is really hard to say whether my plane has been shot down at this moment.

"He Fang, you bastard, why didn't you say that the German ran away? You are still the navigator, and you are just watching the fun in the back seat?" The team leader, Second Lieutenant Han Gang, was obviously looking for a scapegoat to cover up his panic just now. , while He Fang muttered,

"Captain, it can't be my fault. My machine gun is firing loudly. I was so nervous just now that I was afraid that I would run out of bullets. What should I do next? Our rear machine gun doesn't have a firing coordinator. Restriction, when I hugged half of the belt, I went out! Who knew that the German guy ran away! Captain! We have won now, and the result is 1:0!" Second Lieutenant He Fang was aggrieved and then elated. up.

At this time, Han Gang's wingman suddenly swung the wings, indicating that there were planes approaching from the direction of 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock behind him, and then He Fang called again, "Captain, just received the radio order from the headquarters, two se5 teams We have already arrived nearby, and we want our dh4 team to return, and let the se5 fighter team continue the remaining battles, ah no, the command said that it has mobilized 4 se5 teams to the theater, it seems that they want to kill the past and teach the Germans a lesson!"

Han Gang hesitated for a moment. Although the high-intensity air combat, pursuit and escape just now took less than 3 minutes, the sweat on his whole body seemed to be scooped out of water. A feeling of powerlessness, Han Gang knew that this was the sequelae of excessive tension and excitement. As the dh4 team performing night patrol missions, it was used as a fighter jet with strong endurance. There were no aerial bombs mounted under the wings, so just now Under the pursuit of fokker fighter jets, the mobility is barely enough.

"Captain, shall we continue chasing after us? The two se2 captains of the 2nd Fighter Battalion called. They took over the battlefield and congratulated us on the victory of the first battle of DH5. They said that the rest of the tasks were left to them!" The radio operator in the back seat congratulated Fang yelled again.

Hearing this, Han Gang no longer hesitated, and while gently swaying the wings, he greeted the two SE2 fighter squadrons of the 2nd Fighter Battalion who quickly appeared on the two wings of his squadron, and turned his head to order, "Call back to the command, and we will It is said that the 5st Fighter-Bomber Wing, the 1st Fighter-Bomber Brigade of DH4, and the 1rd Squadron of the 2nd Squadron chased and shot down a German fokkerdviii fighter, and the remaining 3 fighters of the other side have retreated towards Ukraine. My team is now ordered to return! complete!"

夜空中，2个se5战斗机小队8架战斗机在排列着整齐的4机编队队形，从韩冈的dh4小队的4架战机边掠过，飞速的向着远处尚能见到几个影子的德国fokker战斗机小队追了过去。

While Han Gang was pushing the joystick lightly, the lead plane numbered dh4-097-11231 turned around awkwardly in the night, and returned to Belgorod frontline airport with the formation of three dh4s behind him.

The first official air battle between the Allied Air Force and the German 1st Fighter Wing. The rookie-level Chinese DH4 fighter-bomber pilots staged their beautiful debut in front of the most advanced German Fokkerdviii fighter jets and German ace pilots. The result was a beautiful 1:0.

Although Wang Geng didn't like it, the first-line fighter se5 equipped by the coalition air force was actually a fighter with excellent comprehensive performance. The one-step shooting coordinator makes the firepower of German aircraft far stronger than that of Allied fighters.

At that time, the SE5A, which rushed into battle at that time, did not perform well. In the air battle on the Western Front, because the pilot was not familiar with the aircraft's xing performance and lost control, he suffered heavy losses and was returned to the factory by the British Royal Air Force. But gold will definitely shine, and SE5 was in the factory. After further optimization and modification, the advantages of this aircraft that returned to the battlefield gradually emerged in the air battle with the fokker aircraft.

Compared with the fokkerdri triplane fighter and fokkerdvii biplane fighter of the Luftwaffe at that time, se5 was considered a heavy fighter:

Compared with the German fokkerdviii high-wing metal-skinned fighter, the wingspan of this se5 designed by the British is 0.23 meters shorter, while the fuselage is 0.52 meters longer, and the empty weight is 234 kilograms. At the same time, ine, has 200hp (150kw) horsepower, the engine power is 190% of the German fokkerdviii.

The only shortcoming of se5 may be its practical ceiling. The ceiling of this fighter is 17000 feet (5185 meters), compared with the practical ceiling of 19685 feet (6000 meters) of fokkerdviii? Not as good as fokkerdviii, perhaps, if the German fighter plane can't fight and escapes, the probability of success in flying up and evacuating is greater than that in diving down.
