This is the Messerschmitt of the 3rd Squadron of the JG77 Wing. There is a big yellow rat painted on the nose of the aircraft. He is carrying a huge umbrella that looks like a turtle shell. His two big feet are separated, which looks very funny.
Zhou Zhihan's heart skipped a beat. The German fighter jets arrived so quickly, including the JG77 wing stationed a little further away. This is one of the reasons why the German Air Force is so powerful. They can take off in a short time, move quickly, and have strict military discipline. .
When Spitfire No. 214 suddenly appeared from the snow above and behind the May, the gunners on the two Do17Z-2 bombers desperately used hand signals to warn the May pilots.
But they discovered it too late and the warning was in vain.
The Mei-type pilot also had no time to react.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Spitfire No. 214 opened fire and fired a burst, then raised its nose and jumped, avoiding the Meiji that was shattered into pieces by the gunfire, pushed the stick, and continued to attack the two Do17Z-2 bombers.
"boom!"
Behind Zhou Zhihan came the sound of plum blossom explosions in the air. The power of the explosion became visible to the naked eye because of the snowflakes. The powerful shock wave stirred up the snowflakes and surged rapidly around. The scene was very spectacular!
Moscow has densely populated houses and a large population. There are houses below the air battle scene. Zhou Zhihan chose to hit the ammunition box behind the Messerschmitt cockpit. The fighter plane disintegrated in the air and fell into small pieces, which had little impact on the people below.
As for whether the pilot has time to parachute, he doesn't care. Since you are a soldier and go to the battlefield, you have to bear the damage caused by the war, and the people are innocent.
In addition to the troops and spectators participating in the military parade today, most soldiers and residents in Moscow are doing their jobs. Some are making weapons in factories covered by heavy snow. Many soldiers are lying in trenches, preparing to fight the enemy. street fighting.
Watching Spitfire No. 214 blitzing an enemy plane, the soldiers and civilians almost simultaneously shouted "Ula" in celebration.
The No. 214 Spitfire had a high hit rate and a terrifying detonation rate, which immediately frightened the entire crew of the two Do17Z-2 bombers.
In an air battle, it is extremely difficult to shoot down a Messerschmitt. However, this Spitfire directly exploded the Messerschmitt's ammunition box with a simple burst of fire, causing the fighter plane to explode and disintegrate. This shooter's shooting skills were terrible and murderous. Also heavy.
Looking at the spitting fire in the heavy snow, the machine gunners of the two Do17Z-2 bombers felt cold in their hearts. When did the Soviet Air Force have such masters with superb shooting skills?
A machine gunner suddenly saw the serial number on the Spitfire. He opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "Damn... Spitfire No. 214... is that damn Zhou Zhihan." As he said this, he hugged him tightly with both hands. The machine gun, eyes widened, stared at Spitfire No. 214, and then fired a trajectory barrage to block it.
What Zhou Zhihan wanted was for the enemy's machine gunner to fire first.
At his level, he could see the slight shaking of the fighter plane's body before it fired but before the bullet was spit out from the muzzle.
Just before the blue fire erupted from the muzzle, Zhou Zhihan pressed the lever in advance like lightning, and No. 214 sprayed fire at the position of 5:30 in the upper right behind the tail of the Do17Z-2 bomber (5:30 in the upper right, plane 5: 30 (lower right 5:30)) He performed a downward roll maneuver with the wings pointing up and down to the sky and the earth. He rolled through the underbelly of the bomber and then pulled up. He appeared in front of the bomber on the left side. He reversed and flew levelly. Stabilize the stick, continuously push the right rudder, swing the tail of the fighter plane to the left, and perform a drift maneuver, so that the nose of the aircraft almost draws an arc in place, pointing to the advance position of the bomber's belly.
Fire.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The bright yellow bullet shells draw a graceful arc in the air...
It sounds slow, but in fact this movement is incredibly fast. All technical movements are completed in one go, without any sloppiness.
Spitfire No. 214 looks like a giant eagle swaying in the heavy snow, waving its wings and launching a fierce attack from any angle.
The neck and eyes of the Do17Z-2 bomber gunner who fired could keep up with the rolling speed of Spitfire No. 214, but the machine gun in his hand could not keep up. When he held the handle of the machine gun, he turned half a circle on his seat. When he turned around to look for it, he saw a few bullets hitting the fuselage in his peripheral vision. Then he felt his body shaking violently, and heard the pilot yelling "We have been hit, everyone jump out quickly".
All pilots react faster than anything else when they hear a pilot say "jump."
Countless pilots have lost their lives because they parachuted one second too late, and many pilots have been swallowed up by fires at the airport because they parachuted just half a second too late.
Major Steinhoff is a living example. Just because he delayed his parachute jump, his entire face was 90% disfigured by the fire. He is still lying half-dead in the hospital, wailing all day long.
Therefore, when the machine gunner heard the word "parachute", he did not hesitate to unfasten the strap and push open the cabin door. With a push of his legs, he flew into the sky full of snowflakes. From the corner of his eye, he saw the pilot still in the cabin, and The bombardier had just jumped out of the cabin and had not yet opened his parachute.
He casually pulled the umbrella needle on his chest, and with a "buzz" sound, he was floating in the air. Then he saw the pilot jumping out cursing, and the bomber was falling with black smoke from its belly. It looked like a spinning flight. The chimney is very eye-catching in the white snowflakes in the sky.
Then the three crew members desperately pulled the parachute closer together, trying to hug each other for warmth, because they knew what it meant if the parachute fell into the hands of the Russians?
The extraordinary experience made the three of them make surrender and friendly gestures when they were still two to three hundred meters away from the ground, and then they all pulled out their pistols - and threw them away into the distance under the watchful eyes of the Soviet soldiers on the ground.
I heard that this would save him a lot of beatings.
The machine gunner of another Do17Z-2 bomber saw all this clearly. The palms of his hands holding the machine gun were covered with sweat, and there was fear in his eyes. The attack route of the No. 214 Spitfire was too vicious, making it impossible to defend. The technique was so cruel that none of the bullets fired missed, and all of them penetrated into the bomber's body.
Test pilot Marc Canai, who turned around during the flight, was stunned and forgot to cheer.
Just now, under the guidance of Colonel Zhou, he had almost exhausted all his strength to shoot down a Do17Z-2 bomber, but Colonel Zhou shot down one in a snap.
Several other Spitfire pilots who were closer witnessed all this and were also shocked. After three or four seconds, they shouted "Ula" loudly and waved their fists in celebration!
Having a commander like this boosts morale!
The pilot of the remaining Do17Z-2 bomber stared ahead, kept descending, and wanted to dive away from the Spitfire No. 214. He did not dare to look back and asked the gunner loudly: "Volkman, where is the damn No. 214?" ?”
"Da da da……"
Volkman answered him with long-range fire, drawing two long lines of red bullets in the air.
"Damn..." Seeing that Spitfire 214 remained unmoved and continued to approach rapidly, Volkman cursed loudly and fired another blocking shot, and then shouted to his pilot, "Franz, we better Turning around and going back, I would rather face the Russian anti-aircraft fire than see this damn No. 214... Damn it... he is rolling towards the bottom of our belly, and I can't block his rolling path... "
From the corner of his eye, pilot Franz saw a fighter jet rolling up from under his belly like a ghost and appearing 150 meters to the left of the bomber. The tail of the aircraft drifted and the nose of the aircraft quickly pointed towards him.
He was so distraught that he subconsciously made a self-protective rollover, breathed fire towards No. 214 with his abdomen, and pulled the lever to increase the shooting cross point. While destroying the opponent's shooting intention, he wanted to turn at a small angle to escape, and shouted, "Damn...he Appear on my left, kill him Volkman quickly..."
All in vain.
At this time, the belly of the Do17Z-2 bomber was fully charged with the fire-breathing Barr Straw GM2 sight. Even those who had never flown an airplane and could only pull the trigger could shoot down this Do17Z-2.
The red tracer bullets looked very fierce in the snowflakes. The friction produced mist. They tore open the casing on the belly of the bomber and drilled inside. The high-explosive incendiary bomb exploded and blew away the protective steel plate within 0.0 seconds. Everything else fell into place...
A few seconds later, the three crew members of the bomber floated in the air. Then they imitated the other three and raised their hands in surrender when they were two to three hundred meters above the ground. They shrugged and made a flattering face, took out their pistols, and threw them from a distance. Got out...
