Zhou Zhihan ordered: "Everyone quickly cover up the defense. I will shoot down the remaining 3 enemy planes. There is no need to chase the 4 injured enemy planes. Leave them to the hurricane!"
"yes!"
The 11 Soviet pilots stopped chasing the injured enemy plane and flew at full speed to plug the leak.
Now is not the time for everyone to pursue results, the top priority is to make up for the defense.
If the four injured Destroyers return, they will be left alone. If they continue to go deeper, they will die. The 40 Hurricanes and Spitfires in the inner circle will not eat.
Zhou Zhihan pulled the stick while giving the order. The Spitfire No. 214 recovered from the dive and continued to push the rudder. The tail of the fighter jet was thrown to the right, making a beautiful plane drift of 90+ degrees. After changing the direction of the nose, it suddenly increased in a straight line. , appearing just to the right of an escaping Destroyer.
While escaping, he observed the surroundings. The rear machine gunner of the Bf110, who was on full alert, saw Spitfire No. 214 using drift to change the direction of the nose. He was shocked and frightened. He wanted to turn the muzzle of the machine gun as quickly as possible, but it was too late. , I could only witness the red rain of bullets ejected from the muzzle of the No. 214 Spitfire, leaving eye-catching bullet trails in the heavy snow. Immediately afterwards, there was a violent tremor from the fuselage, and the pilot heard the sound in his ears. Poor curse:
"Damn... my palm was punched through... ah... the joystick cable was broken... skydiving..."
In an air battle, as long as the pilot says to parachute, the crew will not hesitate to unfasten the straps, push open the cabin, and fly into the air with one kick.
Parachuting to escape is the most basic training for a pilot!
On the ground, the Soviet Red Army waited for a long time for the parachuting German pilots.
It was really exciting today. The German planes were like turkeys, shooting down in the sky like a ball of fire. The parachuting German guy put his gun away without hesitation, licking his face and surrendering.
The Germans knew that if they voluntarily threw away their weapons, they would at most receive a few kicks and a few hits from their rifle butts, because the Russian Air Force also needed to use these prisoners to exchange for its own pilots from the Germans.
If he stubbornly resists, what will happen... The Russians are definitely capable of making the captives regret coming into the world.
During the war, all Western countries preached bravery, but propaganda is propaganda, and human nature will not change.
The greatest instinct of human nature is to survive, not to die.
Zhou Zhihan fired a burst. After hitting the Destroyer, he pressed the stick left. The wings pointed up and down directly at the sky and the earth, splitting the heavy snow and increasing lift. He pulled the stick. The Spitfire No. 214 turned to the left at a small angle and then recovered. It was just a pull after acceleration. He jumped up and caught up to the 5:30 position behind and to the right of the Destroyer that wanted to be lifted up to a high place.
The Destroyer's machine gunner opened fire in advance and fired a sniper shot.
Spitfire No. 214 used another 丿-shaped blade rolling maneuver, passing diagonally from underneath the Destroyer and appearing on its right side, calmly firing ahead and hitting accurately.
This kind of roll starts from the 5:30 position on the right rear side and passes through the belly of the aircraft to appear on the left side. It is too difficult to defend against clumsy bombers and fighters like the Bf110, because the pilot being attacked can never Keep your opponent in your sights.
The first principle of air combat is to always limit the opponent to your own vision.
If you can't see your opponent, you can only take a beating.
The bullet penetrated the Destroyer's protective steel plate and ran rampant in the body.
The German pilot felt a shock all over, then a red light flashed on the workbench, and then he smelled a smell of gasoline. This was definitely not a good sign. He shouted "Sky jump", then pushed open the cockpit and kicked off his legs. The person flew into the air.
"Buzz..."
There was a fire in the engine room.
Then, the rear machine gunner also appeared in the air. The two of them opened the umbrella pins on their chests almost at the same time, and their bodies stagnated and floated in the air.
Looking at the cockpit surrounded by fire, at this moment, the pilot was afraid of escaping from death. Now he just wanted to go home, find a quiet place to farm and fish, and live a peaceful life without thinking about trump cards. Money, glory.
Spitfire No. 214 succeeded in firing again. Zhou Zhihan pulled up to jump and then dived with the stick. After more than ten seconds, he caught up with another Bf110 and shot it down again with a blade roll maneuver. He pulled the stick and flew upside down. After coming out, it increased speed and galloped towards Major Pisanco, who was leading his team in a desperate battle.
Several German fighter planes were destroyed by the rolling blade of the Japanese sword, which was simply heartbreaking for the German pilots.
You watch your opponent repeatedly defeat different opponents with one move, and you know that he will use this move against you, but you just can't break it.
According to historical records, on December 7, 1941, the military parade in Moscow’s Red Square started on time at 8 o’clock in the morning and was successfully completed at 9:10. During this period, no German fighter planes appeared in the sky above the Red Square.
Time returns to Red Square just as the Luftwaffe opens an air corridor.
9:05 minutes.
When the last parade column passed in front of Stalin with neat steps, the time on the Moscow Bell and Drum Tower was 9:05.
The three soldiers opposite Stalin still stood statue-like in the wind and snow, which showed that the sky above Red Square was safe.
Stalin calmly delivered his final speech and declared the victory of the Red Square military parade...
When Stalin walked out of Lenin's Tomb, waved goodbye to the Moscow residents participating in the military parade, and returned to the Kremlin, the Kremlin clock read exactly 9:20.
Upon receiving the news that the Red Square military parade had successfully concluded and that Comrade Stalin had safely returned to the Kremlin, Zhukov and Gromagin were immediately relieved. During the Red Square military parade, the Soviet Air Force blocked the crazy attack of the German Air Force and defended the Soviet people. Dignity, prove to the world that justice will eventually defeat evil!
Five minutes later, the news of the successful conclusion of the Moscow Red Square military parade spread throughout the Soviet Union, and the military morale was encouraged. Especially the fighter unit successfully completed its mission. The pilots were morale-boosted and shouted "Ula" to continue fighting.
Hitler, who stood by the radio and waited for Stalin's speech to come to an abrupt end due to an air raid, never heard the screams of Stuka bombers coming from the radio.
When Stalin announced the successful conclusion of the Red Square military parade, Hitler was furious and ordered the major general commander of the 12th Air Force to wipe Red Square off the map today or be shot.
Similarly, the more than an hour-long military parade in Red Square made Göring anxious. Stalin's victory in the Red Square military parade was tantamount to announcing to the world the incompetence of the German Air Force.
All the fighter planes he stationed around Moscow were dispatched, but they could not prevent Stalin from successfully holding a military parade in Red Square. This showed that he had to re-examine the Soviet Air Force. It also showed that he completely underestimated the strength of the Soviet Air Force.
The military parade in Red Square has ended, but the air battle outside Moscow is still in full swing. The German Air Force on the front line has received an order to wipe Red Square off the map today.
Facing the German Air Force's attack, the Soviet artillery reinforcements fought against several waves of people, but were unable to gain a foothold and suffered heavy casualties.
There were large and small craters everywhere on the ground. The remnants of more than a dozen fighter jets were still exploding and burning. Several parachuting German pilots were floating in the air. Before they had time to throw their guns and surrender, they were beaten to a pulp by the red-eyed Soviet soldiers...
The commander of the German 12th Bomber Unit personally led the fleet into the battle. His bomber was damaged during the battle and made an emergency landing outside Moscow. The entire crew was captured.
This is a good thing for him. He can survive if he is captured by the Soviet army. If he is not shot down, he will die if he goes back...
…
Just as the military parade in Moscow's Red Square was successfully completed, a star was rising among Japanese naval officers. He was a young officer with nearly 3,700 hours of aircraft carrier flying experience, Lieutenant Colonel Mitsuo Fuchida. He was appointed by Yamamoto Isoroku. The chief instructor of the Air Force that attacked Pearl Harbor.
At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Mitsuo Fuchida, who took office on his first day, was wearing a military uniform and standing on the beach. In his right hand, he held a bronze-handled sword presented by Yamamoto Isoroku himself, and in his left hand, he held a small trumpet. He looked across from him and gathered temporarily. All carrier-based aircraft pilots trained on the aircraft carrier [Akagi].
These carrier-based aircraft pilots have been carefully selected and finally gathered on the aircraft carrier [Akagi] for training. They will completely lose contact with the outside world in the next few months.
"Everyone!"
Lieutenant Colonel Mizuo Fuchida had sinister eyes under his thick eyebrows, a straight nose, and a resolute face. He stared at his soldiers for a full five minutes before speaking.
More than 400 carrier-based aircraft pilots tapped their heels in unison and said "pop" in unison to pay tribute to Lieutenant Colonel Mitsuo Fuchida.
"From now on, all of you will receive the most rigorous training in history. Before that, you were selected through layers of screening before joining the First Fleet. This is your honor!
You are all the elites of the Imperial Air Force and will shoulder heavy responsibilities. During the entire training period, no one is allowed to have any correspondence or verbal communication with the outside world. Anyone who disobeys this order will die. "
After Lieutenant Colonel Mitsuo Fuchida finished speaking, his sharp eyes swept across everyone's faces.
"Hai!"
All pilots bow their heads in salute and face the instructor's instructions. This is their most basic etiquette!
"Starting from tomorrow, you will take off from Kamoike Base, complete the assembly in the air 2,000 meters north of Kagoshima, and then fly over the mountainside of Minami Sakurajima as a single aircraft, and then suddenly drop in altitude and enter the Koto Crossing The canyon flies close to the roofs of department stores and stations at a height of 40 meters above the ground. During this period, one must avoid telephone poles, chimneys, and all obstacles, and then quickly pull up into the air for 2,000 meters, and then In the shortest possible time, lower the altitude of the aircraft to 20 meters and launch a torpedo at the arched embankment 290 meters away. Remember, the torpedo must explode ten meters below the water to meet the training requirements."
Seeing the expressions of disbelief on the faces of all the pilots, Mizuo Fuchida's eyes were like lightning: "Everyone, do you understand?"
"Hai!"
All the pilots answered in unison again. In the Japanese army, facing the mission assigned by the commander, everyone must unconditionally accept it. There are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, and they must move forward bravely.
"But Sir Lieutenant Colonel, please be honest with me. The entire Imperial Air Force has not trained on the flight training of releasing torpedoes 20 meters from the water. Our torpedo planes may not be able to achieve this performance, and the torpedoes can float quickly after sinking." It is almost impossible to reach a target 10 meters below the water surface and explode."
The speaker was Major Murata, the torpedo plane captain who was entrusted with important tasks by Lieutenant Colonel Mitsuo Fuchida.
Lieutenant Colonel Mizuo Fuchida stared at Murata with eyes like daggers: "Tomorrow morning, I will personally demonstrate to you how to fly a torpedo aircraft to release a torpedo 20 meters from the sea surface, and let the torpedo float to the specified position before reaching the attack target."
