"If you can fly behind the enemy aircraft without being noticed and enter the attack position, you will be in the most advantageous offensive position."
This sentence is a famous saying of Manfred von Richthofen, the famous "Red Baron" of World War I.
But what is extremely dramatic is that Manfred von Richthofen, the king of aces, who was honored as the "Red Baron" by his archenemy, the Royal Air Force, fell in the end precisely because of the attack from behind him. Firepower.
The A214 Spitfire climbed to an altitude of 7,000 meters, turned off the twin turbochargers after recovery, and flew over the track of the Bf 110 fighter jet flying over at an altitude of 3,000 meters from an azimuth of 170 degrees.
Zhou Zhihan wanted to fight quickly. He also saw that Lieutenant Allen and Warrant Officer Dill were two rookies in night combat. Although their air combat record was good, night combat was more difficult than during the day. What if these two rookies flew in the wrong direction? , will cause a lot of trouble, especially the Texan training aircraft. Although there is a machine gun in the nose, its power can be ignored. When encountering a Messerschmitt, there is almost no way to survive.
The A214 Spitfire was preparing to dive. There was still a distance of two thousand meters between him and the Bf110 fighter jet flying head-on. If he dived from this altitude, a single burst of fire would solve all problems.
One thousand eight hundred meters away.
Zhou Zhihan pushed the stick and pushed the throttle forward at the same time, and the A214 Spitfire began to dive. The opponent could only hear the sound of their own engine and propeller, and could not detect the Spitfire diving from above.
The radar at this time was lagging behind and its response was very slow. It was unlikely that they would go to see God before they noticed an incoming fighter plane.
One thousand meters.
Zhou Zhihan put his thumb on the concave and convex launch button of Spitfire.
Eight hundred meters...
Lieutenant Johnson Allen flew with his partner, and he felt an inexplicable sense of insecurity in his heart. When he and his wingman formed a two-finger formation, he was not afraid even if he encountered four enemy planes, but now he was flying with the trainer plane. It's like a thousand-mile horse following an old cow...
Allen looked toward the dark night at 80 degrees to the left.
There is nothing there.
What the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force said made Johnson Allen murmur in his heart. Now he was really worried that this somewhat unreliable colonel would make a mistake in judgment. After flying away from the formation, he would never be able to find him again, which would be troublesome.
He always felt that this young colonel was bragging. In the dark night, can you see enemy planes more than ten kilometers away? Do you have the eyes of an eagle?
Even if you have experience in night fighting, the distance that human eyes can see in the dark is limited? And on the rolling sea, how many fighters can you know in several directions more than ten kilometers away? Don't tell me. Don’t believe it? Even your own mother wouldn’t believe it.
But now it is not convenient to ask where this gentleman is, and even if I ask, I can't see him.
I couldn't tell my companions about my worries because the three people's communicators were connected.
Johnson Allen rubbed his face with his hands, then rubbed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. It was a really torturous night.
Warrant Officer Al Dier flew a training aircraft to the battlefield for the first time. This feeling was very strange. He was like a wild wolf without claws rushing into a pride of lions.
Watching him touch the machine gun button on the joystick, he felt uneasy.
Although this trainer aircraft has a Browning 0.3-inch machine gun installed in front of the nose and another in the back seat? But these two machine guns are only used for training, and their power cannot tear open the Messerschmitt fuselage. Defense? To put it bluntly, these two machine guns are basically the ears of the deaf.
I took a few glances at the 80-degree position, but there was no fiery red trace of tracer bullets drawn out by the two sides after they opened fire.
However, a distance of more than ten kilometers? Even if both sides fire, it will be difficult to see.
Unless it explodes.
"Buzz...boom..."
Warrant Officer Al Deer had not finished his thoughts when he saw a huge fireball "buzzing" rising in the air at an altitude of 80 degrees, about ten kilometers away. It was very eye-catching in the night sky, and then the sound of an explosion came.
"Ah! God..." Warrant Officer Al Dill shouted in surprise and joy, "Sure enough, a fighter plane exploded ten kilometers away at an azimuth of 80 degrees... Oh my God... I saw that in the flames surrounding the explosion, there were indeed a few... The shadowy fighter planes are circling..."
"Oh! God..." Lieutenant Johnson Allen shouted almost at the same time as his partner, "There are really fighter planes fighting there... God... does he really have the eyes of an eagle?"
Zhou Zhihan, who was diving, heard an explosion in the distance and the exclamations of his two companions. He thought they were in danger and was stunned for a moment. Then he saw several strings of fiery red gun marks coming towards him, which looked like fire in the night. A series of thunderbolts arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The opponent later discovered that he had opened fire in advance. Four 7.92mm machine guns and two 20mm cannons directly blocked the path forward of the A214 Spitfire.
"Damn it!"
Zhou Zhihan screamed strangely.
For the first time, he instantly fell into a desperate situation despite having the upper hand. At the critical moment, he could only do a 90-degree arc cutting side roll to the lower right, but this was equivalent to exposing his fragile abdomen directly to the ground. In front of the opponent's gun, the advantage he had in an instant was surrendered, and at the same time he once again pushed himself into a desperate situation.
Because after the Bf110 fighter pilot opened fire first, the rear machine gunner also opened fire. Two twin 7.92mm machine guns fired at the A214, and they fired at an advance rate, directly blocking him and continuing to roll downwards. , trying to cut into the lower part of the Bf110's abdomen in an arc to avoid the attack.
When life was hanging by a thread, the A214 Spitfire suddenly pulled the control column back with all its strength while rolling sideways in a 90-degree downward arc. The nose of the aircraft was raised backwards to avoid the rain of bullets that passed through the abdomen more than ten centimeters away, and the Spitfire It is inevitable to enter a stall and tail spin state.
The Bf110 fighter is a twin-engine fighter. Although its maneuverability is not as good as the single-engine Messerschmitt and Spitfire, or even as good as the Hurricane, when it occupies its maneuvering advantage position, it can easily overtake these three. The life of a single-engine fighter.
The Bf110 fighter rolled downwards, and while diving with its nose downward in pursuit, it fired a flare from the flare projection tube on the right side of its cockpit. It instantly lit up the large area of the night sky and also illuminated the A214 below. The flames illuminated and there was nowhere to hide.
The A214 Spitfire plunged toward the sea in an irreversible stall and spin. It just brushed against the Bf110 fighter jet flying at an altitude of 3,000 meters above the sea. After doing a 90-degree arc-cutting roll downwards, the fighter jet entered After stalling and tail spinning, it was less than two thousand meters from the sea.
Warrant Officer Dill and Lieutenant Allen suddenly heard an explosion coming from the 80-degree direction. They couldn't help but screamed and looked towards the explosion area. Then they heard Zhou Zhihan's weird scream of "Damn" coming from the intercom. Then, Five or six kilometers ahead on the right side, the bombardment of machine guns and machine guns and the traces of flying bullets appeared.
It wasn't until they saw a flare falling from the sky that they saw a fighter plane below the flare, like an eagle with broken wings, stalling and rolling downwards from the sky. At the same time, they saw a fighter jet diving in pursuit above the flare.
Judging from the shape, size, location of the two fighter jets, and Zhou Zhihan's strange screams, the one that was swooping in pursuit should be the Destroyer Bf110 fighter jet, and the one that entered a stall and tail spin and could no longer recover was the A214. Breathing fire.
