Zhou Zhihan could tell at a glance that Yumashev's situation was most critical at this time: "Yumashev, give up moving closer to the bomber, and don't forcefully protect the bomber, otherwise you will be shot down.
There is an enemy plane behind you, and there is one on the left waiting for you to be fooled. Now you immediately circle to the right. The enemy on the left will definitely roll to the right and become the lead plane, intercepting your right turn path. At this time, you If you take the opportunity to roll to the left, you can immediately get rid of them and move closer to the bomber.
Remember, don’t let the Meiji No. 14809 get too close to you. "
Yumashev was about to be cornered. When he heard Zhou Zhihan's voice, he pressed the right lever without hesitation, pedaled the right rudder, and the Spitfire turned sharply to the right, immediately moving further away from the Red Star 1 bomber on the left.
Yumashev glanced behind him during the roll. Sure enough, he blocked his approach to the bomber on the left side of the Meiji, and made a 360-degree roll from the top of the lead plane to the right side. In an instant, he changed from wingman to wingman. He grabbed the lead aircraft and tried to strangle the Spitfire's turning track. The lead aircraft also turned by pressing the rudder lever and turned into a wingman.
Yumashev flattened the stick and pressed the left stick in one go. S1127 Spitfire was like a monster, suddenly turning 270 degrees to the left. Pulling the stick, the nose drew an arc and moved closer to Red Star 1 again. In an instant, it Two Messerschmitts left behind on the right.
This change of turning right and rolling back is like a game of chess that is about to be checkmate, but is revived with one move.
This change is exquisite!
For the first time, Yumashev felt the fear of being resurrected from a desperate situation.
A right turn and a left roll broke the death grip of the two Mays.
It's too simple.
Simple to the point of simplicity!
Yumashev finally understood that in air combat, the simplest maneuvers are often the most effective.
After the rest of his life, he realized that these two maneuvers, so simple that even a rookie could fly them together, could produce such subtle changes.
Yumashev was completely convinced.
In an air battle, one second is the difference between death and survival, and a few tenths of a second is the difference between victory and defeat. The one who can make accurate judgments within a few tenths of a second is the final winner.
Colonel Zhou can be in charge without being confused and find the door to victory in an instant.
And he, Yumashev, can only be the wise man after the fact.
"Damn it... I actually let this Russian guy escape..."
"Damn...stupid Russian...damn...how did he think of using this series of actions to get rid of us..."
The two May pilots were very angry. If they were not sitting in the cabin, they would have become furious.
They were sure of victory, but just when they were about to reap the victory, the Soviet fighter S1127 rolled away from them like a ghost, getting further and further away. At this time, they had not yet recovered from the maneuvering posture of rolling and turning. He could only watch helplessly as his opponent returned to Red Star 1.
One of the most important tactical exercises of the Luftwaffe in peacetime is how to use the Bf 109 to isolate the opponent's bombers from the fleet and then shoot them down one by one.
Only a rookie doesn't know how to drive away the opponent's escort fighter jets from the bombers.
The scene that just happened was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the two German pilots.
It would be ridiculous for two fighter planes to be counterattacked by enemy planes even though they had the upper hand.
"There are actually such pilots among Russians?"
Major Dietrich Herabach saw the S1127 fighter plane escaping from death from a distance. While feeling regretful, he could not help but praise it.
Only God knows how difficult it is to perform these two maneuvers to escape at the moment of life and death.
Hermann Graf had already bitten Pisanko's tail. In his Levi C/12D sight, the cunning horizontal wings of the flames were like the wings of a whale swimming away quickly, with two wingtips. Swinging left and right in the scope.
At this time, the distance between the two planes was 180 meters, and there was a 60% chance of damaging the Spitfire if fired. However, shooting down the enemy plane within 100 meters was the glorious tradition and confidence of the German ace pilot.
The Zeiss Rb21/28 camera positioned vertically downward in the cockpit pointed at the Spitfire's tail. As long as Hermann Graf pressed the attack button, the camera would record where the shells were biting.
Hermann Graf was not in a hurry. He knew that the Spitfire in front of him would be defeated by him. He wanted to catch up and shoot it down directly.
Just as Yumashev turned to the right, Zhou Zhihan continued to direct Pisanko, who was in dire straits:
"Pisanko, immediately put back the throttle and pull up in a high-yaw maneuver. First, slow down the enemy plane behind you, and I'll come to rescue you."
Zhou Zhihan had already seen that Pisanko was trapped in a deadly situation. No matter what moves he made, he could not get rid of the attacks of the two Mei-style aircraft. The high swing maneuver could only quench his thirst by drinking alcohol.
This is enough.
Although drinking to quench thirst can only add a few minutes to the life of a person who is about to die of thirst.
But a few minutes are enough for the water of life to arrive.
Half a minute is enough.
Since Zvezda 9 was separated diagonally from the fleet, the distance between them was not too far.
Pisanko and Yumashev tried their best to protect the bombing, and the speed slowed down. However, the Spitfire No. 214 was too fast, with a top speed of almost 800. Moreover, Zhou Zhihan was chasing the advance, which shortened the distance and was about to reach the end. Caught up with Red Star 9.
"clear."
Pisanko was about to fall into despair. Hearing this, he unhesitatingly released the throttle to the bottom and pulled the lever at the same time. His fire was like a monster rushing forward at a high speed. He suddenly stopped and pulled upward at a large angle.
"Hell..."
Seeing the Spitfire suddenly stop smoking, the tail fin changed from parallel lines to a plane, and it swam up instantly, almost out of his sight. Hermann Graf was a little unprepared, but because the two sides were too close, if he followed up and pulled up at this time, If you bite hard, it will most likely cause a collision with the Spitfire. If you fire now, although it may hit the Spitfire's tail, the flying fragments will hit your own nose and even the cabin...
Hermann Graf only hesitated for 0.~ seconds before the Spitfire's tail swam out of his sight.
"Damn..."
Hermann Graf didn't want his prey to become someone else's meal. He immediately released the throttle and at the same time did a half roll sliding to the right and to the left. The wings were vertical up and down, pointing to the sky and the earth, and he used the Mei style with his side. Slide and change trajectory to increase distance and hack the Spitfire's high-swing maneuvers.
Of these two fighters, one defended beautifully and the other attacked brilliantly.
Since Hermann Graf's coherent maneuvers were perfect, the position of the provocateur was still behind him.
But the next second, Hermann Graf lost sight of the Spitfire, because the upward movement of the Spitfire throttle was a false move. As soon as Pisanko pulled up the nose of the plane, he suddenly hit the flames amidst Zhou Zhihan's shouts. Push the throttle and do a forced inverted flight.
"grass……"
Hermann Graf finally couldn't bear it anymore and cursed loudly. He could only raise his head and watch the Spitfire disappear behind his cabin.
Although Pisanko temporarily escaped Hermann Graf's attack by forcing him to fly inverted, the fighter's energy consumption was huge when he released the throttle and pulled up, so his inverted flight was just a pretense. , simply throwing himself into the arms of Hermann Graf’s wingman.
To put it bluntly, in fact, the offense and defense of both sides were completed in the blink of an eye.
Hermann Graf's wingman never dreamed that this stupid Russian would actually hit his gun, and he was immediately elated.
