New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

() The copycat version of C-47 flew up, and Ron looked out of the window, and saw several P-81 fighter jets lining up neatly to escort the plane.The one closest to the window is a fighter jet with twenty beauties painted on its fuselage.It was Squadron Captain Harry's landline.

Speaking of it, it is a typical Soviet characteristic to neatly paint the shooting down mark on the fuselage.This rather arrogant approach is not necessarily a good thing for the pilot itself, it is almost like yelling at the enemy, "Come and play with me".When fighting in this way, the opponent will pay special attention to it, and the difficulty of obtaining a record will naturally increase.But doing so also has an advantage, that is, it can greatly deter the enemy and boost morale.

When Pokryshkin drove his P-39 painted with red five-stars into the air during the Kuban air battle, the German radio station was full of exclamations of "Be careful, Pokryshkin is in the air" .In the original history, Kori Dub, who was used to flying the No. 13 fighter, also won the same honor. The Soviet radio station would call "Eagle 13" several times, even if he was not really in the air. German.

This kind of heroic behavior immediately affected some American pilots. At first, they painted blue stars or smashed Nazi symbols on their planes, and later, they painted everything.A self-proclaimed love saint painted roses, and others painted red lips. Harry, who had studied art for a few days before enlisting in the army, simply did something more difficult-painting the chun (river crab) palace .

This incident caused a little disturbance at the time. At the beginning, Harry set a grand goal for himself. He decided to draw a new pose every time he shot down an enemy plane, until he got 42 enemy planes together. Until he draws all the 42 Sanshou that he collected through various means.At the airport, some Soviet boys often ran to his plane to drool in the name of maintaining the plane. Every time Harry came back from a mission, a group of people gathered around to ask if there was any new shooting down today.

This situation made Harry very proud, but it caused strong dissatisfaction among Soviet political workers.These Yankees have corrupted our soldiers with bourgeois decadent ideas. How can this be done?So while holding an organization meeting within themselves, these people asked the boys to consciously resist the erosion of bourgeois decadent ideas, and at the same time approached Ron, asking Ron to prohibit the Yankees from drawing chun (river crab) palaces on the plane.

Ron himself felt that Harry had gone too far.If he were to change the future Edo 42 Sanshou into Army Aviation 42 Sanshou, Ron's reputation would probably be affected.Under his persuasion, Harry reluctantly gave up his unfinished business, downgraded the palace of painting Chun (river crab), and became a painting beauty.In order to be able to explain to the Soviets, these beauties must also be the so-called "art".For example, miniature copies of "Venus" and "Fountain".In this way, when the Soviets protested again, Ron could respond with "You don't understand art".In fact, in the eyes of the Russians, Yankees are nouveau riche without artistic accomplishment.That's the best way to deal with them.

Under the escort of these p-81s, the li-2 transport plane flew steadily at an altitude of 4000 meters.More than an hour later, the plane arrived over the Smolensk Airport.

The transport plane began to descend, preparing to land at Smolensk Airport, while the escorting p-81 continued to fly westward, and their target was in Poland.

This time is different from the last time. Last time, in order to achieve the surprise effect, the cluster adopted a low-altitude or even ultra-low-altitude penetration method, but this time, these fighters swaggered over from an altitude of 6000 meters.This was done because the Germans had previously sent fighter jets to patrol areas that were difficult for radar to take care of.Once you encounter them at low altitude or ultra-low altitude, and are attacked by them condescendingly, even the p-81 with excellent performance can hardly guarantee to retreat unscathed.In addition, after the first successful raid, the Germans will not be completely defenseless like that, so the p-81s now simply adopt the method of entering directly from high altitude.

……

At an airport in Poland, a large group of planes are preparing to take off.Today is another fine day, and the sky in late autumn is particularly blue and high.At altitudes below 8000 meters, there are no clouds, except for a faint plume of clouds at altitudes between 8000 and 10000 meters.

"Vulture 3 requests takeoff!" Captain Vogts carefully checked the data of each instrument, and sent a takeoff request to the airport tower.

"Vulture 3, permission to take off!"

After getting permission from the control tower, Vogts released the brakes, and me-262 began to slide slowly on the runway.Vogts carefully controlled the throttle, and the plane began to accelerate slowly.It was not until the end of the runway was about to be reached that Vogts gently pulled the joystick, and the nose of the me-262 gradually lifted up, and the front wheels left the ground first.The rear wheels of the plane slid on the ground for a while before gradually leaving the ground and flying.

Vogts is the third me-262 to take off. Behind him, more than ten me-262s will take off one after another.Their mission was to protect the airfield and intercept Allied fighters coming on safari.

Facts have proved that the bf-109 and fw-190 hovering near the airport are not enough to prevent the p-81's raid, so the Germans simply used me-262 to protect the me-262 on the airport.This approach actually has many problems.First of all, the flight time of the me-262's engine is extremely valuable.The overhaul time of each engine is only 50 hours.If it is used in this way, the cost is really... Due to the attack of the allies, many strategic materials in Germany are now in short supply.For example, some metals needed to make jet engines are already completely dependent on inventory.This consumption, the Germans are absolutely too much.But the result of allowing the enemy to do whatever they want over their own control area is even more unbearable for the Germans.Therefore, the Germans hope that they can rely on a few attacks to deal an unbearable blow to the enemy, thereby forcing the enemy to end this offensive safari.

This time, the Allied aircraft did not adopt the ultra-low altitude penetration mode when crossing the control line.In this way, the Germans were given time for pre-warning. Although on the Eastern Front, the Germans did not have a multi-tiered pre-warning radar network like they did on the Western Front, and could not continue to track targets, but according to the information detected by a certain radar, The Germans can still roughly infer the arrival time of the p-81 fleet, and let the me-262 take off to fight before then.

The Germans knew that the me-262 was not very effective against fighter jets. Due to the flaws in the roll, even if it had an advantage in height and speed, the opponent's fighter jets could still avoid its attack relatively easily.So the Germans devised a new set of tactics for mixed operations.

This set of tactics is like this: use bf-109 and me-262 to fight together.Both aircraft had problems against the p-81 alone. The speed of bf-109 is too slow, and its high-altitude performance is too poor. Compared with p-81, it has no advantage in climbing. When confronting p-81, it will be taken to high altitude to be bullied to death. As for the me-262, the roll is too bad. If it is not a sneak attack, it is like hitting a fly in the air with a sledgehammer. It is basically a waste of effort.

But they are combined differently. With its higher speed and good jump, me-262 can effectively prevent p-81 from playing spiral climb, and when p-81 and bf-109 fight together, me-262 can also continue to rely on its speed advantage Ground raid p-81.You can imagine that when you finally put a bf-109 into the shooting halo, you are going to add another star to your fighter, or a rose, or a Mona Lisa without clothes when suddenly there is the characteristic sharp whistling sound of a jet engine behind you; or when a bf-109 is going to be at your 6 o'clock, if it is normal, you can increase the horsepower and accelerate at a level easily, just put the That bf-109 was thrown far away, but at this moment, there is a damn me-262 that keeps attacking you, forcing you to constantly adjust your flying attitude, that is, keep turning left , turn right, and as a result, not only did the BF-109 not get rid of it, it even shortened the distance from you, and it was about to open fire on you.How depressing you say it is!

Now the Germans do not have information on the specific location of the p-81 fleet, which makes it difficult for them to directly intercept the p-81 fleet.But the Germans still have a way. This way is called waiting for a rabbit.Anyway, the p-81 will definitely find some airports to go to, so the fleet performing mixed combat missions only needs to stay over those airports.

The me-262 that took off first began to climb slowly. The climb rate of the me-262 was very good, but when it first took off, the speed was not high enough, and the power output of its engine could not change too fast, so now it can only Climb slowly.However, as the speed gradually increased, me-262 climbed faster and faster.It didn't take long for Vogts to climb to a height of 6000 meters.

Vogts rolled the plane more than 30 degrees, and then looked down from the side window. He saw that some BF-109s were also circling at an altitude of about 4000 meters.Now, the preparations are in place, just waiting for the p-81 of the Allied forces to hit the door.
