"Ula..."
The Soviet pilots fighting with the Bf 110 almost cheered in unison. The No. 214 Spitfire led the Hurricane and shot down six Messerschmitts in lightning speed, instantly reversing their extremely unfavorable situation.
Everyone knows what the consequences will be if these eight Messerschmitts are allowed to swoop down. It is very likely that after one dive by the Germans, more than half of our own I-16s will be lost.
Now everyone finally knows why Spitfire No. 214 and four Hurricane fighter jets suddenly disappeared just now.
Seeing No. 214 Spitfire shoot down two Mei-Jinjets with lightning speed, and then attack the enemy bomber group, Major Pisanco's face turned red: "This is the insight and technical and tactical ability that only ace pilots have!"
This is the final word that only a super ace can have, the energy to change the situation of the battle! ! "
The Soviet pilots who had just cursed "damn big noses and cowardly Chinese" also looked ashamed. Fortunately, their morale was greatly boosted at this time, and they showed their bloody spirit as a fighting nation. Although most of them were rookies, they could still fight with The Bf 110 was evenly matched.
In air combat, skill and luck are very important, but courage is also essential.
Seeing that the squadron leader, Lieutenant Willy Stenger, was killed in the battle, and the other five companions were shot down, the remaining two Messerschmitts immediately panicked and lost the chance to win under the siege of four Hurricanes. They quickly pulled the lever and increased the angle of attack. Climb up and outrun the hurricane.
The four Hurricanes did not pursue them, but immediately pressed the lever and followed Spitfire 214 to intercept the German bombers.
From the perspective of British pilots, helping the Soviets is helping Britain. Every time a German plane is shot down, Britain has one less opponent.
During the Battle of London, although the Soviets did not overtly help Britain, they secretly frequently deployed troops and generals at the border to put pressure on Hitler and contain the German army, which was considered a great help to Britain.
"Woo..."
Over at the ground position, the Death God Stuka turned on the sound-generating device under the nose of the aircraft. Amidst the sounds of crying, 12 bombers launched a dive attack on the remnant army led by General Potapov, and the bombardiers who had been prepared began to gather. After dropping the bomb, the pilot used machine guns to shoot at the densely dispersed troops on the ground, leaving the defense task to the rear machine gunner.
Today, the God of Death, Stuka, changed from his normal behavior and dropped bombs from both sides of the Soviet army. After every two aerial bombs dropped, he dropped an incendiary bomb, turning both sides of the Soviet army's position into a sea of flames.
Under the blazing fire of incendiary bombs, the two wings of the Soviet army were compressed and could only move closer to the center.
In the face of the enemy's hail of bullets, the tenacious Soviet soldiers could risk their lives to attack, but in the face of the overwhelming fire exploded by incendiary bombs, they could do nothing but move closer to the center and tighten their defensive formation. Under the command of the enemy, they made an all-out breakthrough.
The pursuers are getting closer and closer. If they can't break through within an hour, they will only be surrounded and annihilated.
The squadron leader of the 601 I-15 3 Squadron is Lieutenant Dekin. Three days ago, he took over as the squadron commander after his predecessor died in battle.
Half of the team members led by Dejin were rookies who had just been hurriedly added to the front line from the reserve forces. They could not compete with the German veterans in terms of experience and combat effectiveness.
Although their mission was to intercept German bombers, facing the menacing Germans, the rookies couldn't find a place to move and could only wander around the bombers. The threat was not great. Two rookies got too close and were killed by the bombers. The machine gunner hit him, and he was so frightened that he ran away.
"Duoduoduo..."
Dejin saw the opportunity and suddenly rolled to the right side of a Stuka. He pressed the launch button with his thumb and fired two bursts in succession. The machine gun bullet accurately hit the right wing of the Stuka, with several fist-sized pieces. Fragments of the aircraft immediately flew everywhere, and a few bullets penetrated the belly of the aircraft, but did not cause any greater damage.
The Stuka pilot was obviously taken aback. He did not expect that there was a pilot with such precise shooting skills among the low-quality Soviet aircraft. He quickly made a 35-degree side turn and tilted the right wing into the air to cover the vulnerable Lebu. , exposing the abdominal protective steel plate, and at the same time allowing the rear machine gunner to intercept the clumsy and ugly I-15 3 that was coming fiercely.
"Duoduoduo..."
The Stuka's rear machine gunner opened fire, and two tongues of flames hit Dekin's I-15 3.
Dekin didn't expect that the Stuka's machine gunner could still fire in this posture. He quickly pressed the stick and pedaled the rudder. Two tongues of flames flew past his left wing, scaring him into a cold sweat and he accelerated forward. , away from enemy machine gun fire.
At this moment, a series of explosions sounded in Dejin's ears. He quickly pressed the stick and rolled over to look back. He saw a string of flames hitting the wing of an I-153 behind him, and the fragments were like heavy bleeding. It spurted wildly and flew around in the air, and then the entire wing skin was torn off, the wings cracked and broken, the aircraft staggered, and smoke billowed immediately, and the crazy bullets continued to penetrate into its metal frame. The pitiful and fragile body could not withstand the destruction of the sudden storm of high-explosive incendiary bombs. Then, like a firebird with broken wings, the I-153 spun and fell to the ground.
"parachute……"
Dejin and the team members witnessed everything happening in front of them, and they were all yelling at the top of their lungs to let the pilot bail out, although he might not be able to hear it.
In this case, parachuting is undoubtedly the most unwise choice, because the rotating fuselage and propellers are very likely to tear the pilot into pieces.
But without parachuting, there is only death.
Therefore, the pilot of the I-153 could only parachute to gain a chance of survival.
But the next moment, Durkin and his players closed their eyes almost at the same time, with pain on their faces.
"Bang!"
As soon as the pilot's body left the cabin, a huge impact force came from the rotating fuselage, tearing him into several pieces in an instant. The spurting plasma was shocking in the morning sun, staining the fighter plane red. , planted to the ground.
"Biao Ziyang..."
Lieutenant Dekin, who was yelling and swearing, suddenly saw 12 He111 bombers flying lower and lower as he turned around. The altitude had already dropped to 100 meters and was still falling. He took another look at the raging fire on both sides of the Soviet army, and an ominous thought appeared in his heart. , immediately feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, shouting at the top of his lungs while holding the joystick between his legs, and gestured to the team members with both hands:
The Germans are going to use the latest weapon, the terrifying SD 2 fragmentation bomb. Comrades, no matter what, stop these He111s in the future.
The SD 2 fragmentation bomb is also called a butterfly bomb. This bomb weighs 2 kilograms. The bomb fuse can control the bomb to explode before or when it hits the ground.
The SD 2 fragmentation bomb was mainly used to kill Army soldiers. At the beginning of the war, as soon as this bomb was put into the battlefield, it caused large-scale damage to the Soviet troops in a dense formation. As soon as the Soviet soldiers heard about the butterfly bomb, they tremble with fear.
The SD 2 fragmentation bomb has left a great shadow on the psychology of Soviet soldiers, like a demonic existence.
If the number of SD 2 fragmentation bombs dropped is large enough or the density is high enough, then this bomb can also cause great damage to Soviet aircraft parked at the airport.
During the German attack on the Soviet airport on the 22nd, the SD 2 fragmentation bomb showed its power, leaving the broken limbs of Soviet fighter jets everywhere it went.
The SD 2 fragmentation bomb is very small. Normally, the butterfly bomb is mounted on a special pylon on the belly of the fighter aircraft. This pylon is like an upside-down boat. The bomb is hung on the bottom of the boat. During combat, the aircraft flies over the target. Afterwards, they were released in sequence, and the lethality was extremely shocking, and it also devastated the Soviet army's psychology.
A BF 109 fighter can carry a pylon with a total of 96 butterfly bombs, while a He111 bomber can carry four pylons with nearly 400 butterfly bombs in addition to the standing bombs, which is more lethal than the Stuka. Be scary.
Since the invasion of the Soviet Union, most of German fighter planes, except for the Messerschmitts that needed to be fought, were equipped with butterfly bombs, which caused considerable damage to the Soviet air force and ground forces.
But this kind of bomb also has a big problem, that is, in order to achieve the best bombing effect, fighter jets or bombers must drop the bomb at a height of 40 meters to achieve maximum lethality.
Lieutenant Dekin finally knew why the German Stukas would drop incendiary bombs on both sides of the Soviet ground troops. The Germans were squeezing the Soviet ground troops, and then used dense SD 2 fragmentation bombs to spread out seamlessly. blow.
Once the German conspiracy succeeded, the SD 2 fragmentation bomb would cause a murderous and heartbreaking blow to the Soviet ground troops.
At this time, the I-16 had discovered the eight Messerschmitts that had jumped from the air. The squadron leader, Lieutenant Pisecki, led the pilots to meet them. Although he knew that the Messerschmitts were flying to meet and dive, this was a stupid tactic. At that time, he had no choice but to do this.
Facing Lieutenant Dejin's gesture, some rookies still didn't understand how to fly. Dejin immediately became anxious. It was not an option to continue fighting like this. The rookies were not mature enough and could not be expected to take on major responsibilities. He continued to clamp Yi-15 3 between his legs. He used hand gestures to command everyone to move forward with him, and the He111 bombing route must be broken up.
All rookies understood Dejindi's gesture. They knew that the situation was critical and if they didn't charge, they might be shot when they returned, so everyone immediately followed and rushed forward.
