Throughout World War II, before the United States entered the war, Germany was always at the forefront of the participating countries in the development of weapons. The cause of this phenomenon has been repeatedly studied by later generations.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly changed, and the emergence of the SD2 fragmentation bomb immediately changed the current air combat situation.
The place bombed by the SD2 fragmentation bomb was horrific. Viewed from the air, it looked like hell on earth. The ground was red, and the snowflakes falling all over the sky melted and turned into blood.
Immediately, the artillery reserves rushed towards the vacancy to fill the position, but the air defense gap had been opened. It was not easy to rearrange the firepower in a short time and cut off the German attack route.
Before the war, Zhukov's order was that once an artillery position was breached by German aircraft, Soviet fighter planes must cooperate with the anti-aircraft artillery reserve to plug the leak. When the rearrangement of the artillery positions is completed, all fighter planes in the sky will be shot down immediately, regardless of the enemy or ourselves.
Of course, Zhukov said this last sentence from the artillery commander of the team.
War has a price to pay. The Red Square military parade is related to the lifeblood of the country. It is of no small importance. At critical moments, one's own people must also sacrifice.
In fact, during the war between China and the Soviet Union, there were many examples of sacrificing one's own people for the sake of the overall situation, as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.
Sometimes, in order to compete for a bridge, the two sides would engage in hand-to-hand combat or melee fighting on the bridge. When the Air Force fighter planes arrived, they would drop bombs on the bridge, causing inevitable casualties among their own people.
If you wait until your own troops have withdrawn before dropping bombs, the enemy will follow and cross the bridge.
The German fighter group was experienced and knew that the Soviets' intention was to provide air defense and fill positions, so all the German planes passing through this hell on earth would first launch a wave of attacks on the bloody land below, so that in the end, this position Not a single piece of white snow can be seen above, all melted by the blood and flames of war.
The German fighter planes attacked fiercely, and the ace pilots found the long-lost turkey hunting competition again.
In the early days of the war, the Soviet Union had many old aircraft. The German ace pilots shot them down easily every time, which was easier than shooting turkeys with a rifle. The destruction of 1,600 Soviet aircraft on June 22 is the best proof.
As the war gradually deepened, the Soviet Air Force began to implement shrinking defenses, so the turkey hunting feasts of German aces were no longer as available as they were in the early days of the war.
Most of the Soviet fighter pilots who had the numerical advantage were rookies. Although they were full of enthusiasm and fought to the death regardless of their own safety, wars were never won by numbers alone.
Faced with an almost devastating blow, the Soviet artillery continued without hesitation, entering this place of death and reorganizing defensive artillery positions.
The bloody spirit of the fighting nation was completely aroused, and Moscow was defended with blood, and its majesty first appeared!
The 12 Bf110 fighter jets that released the bombs drove straight in and entered the sky above Mokoko first.
Major Pisanco led a fighter squadron to plug the leak. Although they were quickly overwhelmed by the Messerschmitt fleet, their presence still hindered the speed of the German aircraft's advance. This gave the Spitfire squadron led by Zhou Zhihan Gained time.
Nearby Soviet fighter planes also arrived one after another to assist in the defense. Suddenly, the density of fighter planes in this area increased rapidly.
As soon as the 12 Bf110 Destroyers flew over the low-altitude cable balloon, they immediately dropped in altitude and advanced in parallel, looking for the Red Square based on the general direction.
Everyone knows how important it is to bomb Red Square. Whoever can drop an SD2 fragmentation bomb on Red Square will become a hero of the empire and be personally received by the head of state.
It was snowing heavily, and it was too difficult to find the target below at an altitude of three thousand meters.
When the Destroyer dropped to an altitude of 1,500 meters, 11 Spitfires and 1 MiG appeared from the sky on time, catching the Germans off guard.
Spitfire No. 214 was the first to attack.
Zhou Zhihan saw the gunner of a Bf110 fighter jet sitting in the open rear cabin with his neck hunched, shoulders hunched, and his body shivering. He looked half-frozen to death. The flight cap and flight suit on his head were all autumn clothes, and they were sticky. Snowflakes look very unnatural in the howling wind and snow, especially the thin leather gloves on the hands, which is an absolute nightmare for the machine gunner.
This kind of thin leather gloves absorbs sweat in spring and autumn, keeping the machine gunner's palms dry. But in winter, the sweat-absorbed gloves turn into cold iron. Holding the cold machine gun handle feels like a knife-like cold wind. …
Zhou Zhihan's cockpit was as warm as spring. Looking at the poor German pilot, he loosened a button.
The Soviet army prepared winter clothes in advance. As soon as the weather got cold, the entire army put on cotton-padded clothes. At this time, Hitler still believed that the heavy autumn snow in the Soviet Union would soon stop melting, and the Imperial Army would conquer Moscow before the harsh winter came. The Soviet Union conquered Stalin, who had peasant cleverness.
The pilot of the Destroyer was flying at low altitude, concentrating on searching forward for the attack target. At the same time, he also had to be wary of whether there were anti-aircraft guns firing cold bombs on the ground. The rear gunner focused all his attention on the defense of the rear hemisphere of the fighter plane. They couldn't see the upper and rear parts of the cabin, and they had no idea that the scythe of death had hooked on their necks.
Zhou Zhihan led everyone to choose this attack position to achieve the best view. The view was so comfortable that he dived down from the air and attacked the enemy aircraft at a 45-degree angle, occupying an absolutely dominant position.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Spitfire No. 214 opened fire and fired a burst. The advance was set to exactly the right amount and accurately hit the cabin of the Bf110 Destroyer.
The pilot only felt a few lightning flashes in the sky, and before he could react, he heard the sound of broken glass. Then his eyes turned red, and he saw his own blood, coloring the entire flight cabin. Before he died, he leaned forward. Press the joystick to the bottom and push it forward. Suddenly, the Destroyer was like a spinning cannonball, hitting the ground. After a few seconds, the machine gunner in the rear cabin was forced to parachute. As soon as he left the cabin, his body was hit by the rotating tail. Cut into two pieces.
The description sounds slow, but in fact this process only takes about ten seconds.
A few seconds after Spitfire No. 214 opened fire, 10 other Spitfires and a MiG also opened fire.
The two Messerschmitts were thought to have exploded and disintegrated in the air. The exploding gasoline splashed everywhere and burned irregularly in the heavy snow. The pilots who parachuted from the other three Messerschmitts were scared to death. Please help God. Four more Meis were injured and on fire. They were preparing to leave the battlefield with black smoke.
This wave of attacks had an astonishingly high hit rate, and the Soviet pilots shouted "Ula" in celebration.
The remaining three Mei-types were lucky enough to avoid the attack. Two of them quickly pressed the stick and spread out to both sides. The pilot of the other one reacted quickly and pulled the stick to climb into the air. If he wanted to get into the air, he would use the cover of heavy snow to first avoid the attack, and then Then depending on the situation, decide whether to continue to attack or turn to join your teammates.
During the Battle of London, the Bf110 Destroyer suffered so much from the Hurricane and Spitfire that it was forced to be converted into a night fighter.
In the early days of entering the Soviet Union, the Bf110 showed its prowess in front of the aging Soviet fighters.
The 12 pilots broke through the Soviet artillery fire and searched forward at low altitude. They were talking on the phone and planning how to find the Red Square and find Stalin. They never dreamed that more than a dozen Spitfires would suddenly swoop down from the sky and extinguish them in the blink of an eye. Sweet dreams.
Seeing a Bf110 escape and then rise into the air, Zhou Zhihan immediately understood what it meant.
