After a series of exercises, Ron and his gang of guys unanimously decided that the foundation of those Soviets had been almost touched, and this kind of mutual joint training was almost over, and the next step was to fight the drill.

In order to cope with this confrontation exercise, in the previous joint training, the "Reverse Cross" set up a separate file for each Soviet pilot, which recorded in detail all the information they had gathered -- from the flight maneuvers that everyone was used to, to every word they said, to what they ate in the cafeteria every day.

Now, Ron and his staff had picked out a few records that they thought would be useful in the pile, and based on them, they organized a series of preparatory meetings. Today is the last preparation meeting before the skirmish. Tomorrow, Boynton and McGaa, Gobleski and Kahn, Ron and Bunge will conduct a simulated air battle with three pairs of Soviet pilots.

Simulated air combat is different from real air combat, you can't really shoot down an opponent, and how to tell if you have shot down an opponent becomes a problem. Originally, according to the usual rules, biting the opponent for a period of time (usually 20 seconds to 40 seconds) within the range of fire was considered a successful takedown. But the Soviets questioned this rule. They considered this rule unfair to Soviet pilots, especially those who possessed a talent for shooting, one, Ben, read #novel xstxt.

The Soviets did have some truth in their suspicions, and anyone who let Valia bite at 6 o'clock and 20 seconds within range would have died several times. So in the end, a compromise was reached, which was to determine the time it would take each pilot to shoot down an enemy by multiplying the time that each target had survived in its range during the previous miss.

This problem was solved, but immediately another problem arose: that is, how to calculate head-on shots and shots with large angles of inclination. According to the idea of the Americans, in both cases, the aircraft with a longer range of weapons and a higher density of fire should receive a higher coefficient. But the Soviets confirmed that it only took one shell to get the opponent's aircraft in order to get a higher coefficient.

In the end, we will take the previous approach and assign a coefficient to each person individually. As a result, the Americans achieved a higher average coefficient, but once again Valia obtained a frighteningly high coefficient.

"Now, the biggest trouble is how to deal with that Russian woman." At the panel, Ron had this to say.

"We can't give her a chance to shoot, otherwise, that woman's hit rate will be really ......"

"We can try it this way...... After all, the fighters we use have a clear advantage in performance. If we can't beat it like this, Lu Hang's face will be lost by us. McGaia said.

"I'm in favor of this approach, and if it's done, we can make that woman not have a chance to fire at all."

"It's a good idea!"

……

"Okay, let's do an internal drill in the next two days, and if the effect is good, we will use this method to deal with those Soviets." Ron finally made a decision.

……

Two days later, the Soviets were informed that if the weather was good and there were no objections from the Soviet side, the small group confrontation drill would take place two days later. Soon, the Soviets replied, and they said that they had no objection to the time.

……

It was a sunny day when the confrontation drill began, and the weather was exceptionally hot early in the morning. It was just 7 o'clock, and the sun had already turned into a blazing fireball. Ron looked over at the runway, which was being lit up by the sun. He squinted his eyes and saw several open-top jeeps heading towards him on the other side of the runway. The hot air rising from the runway distorted the light, distorting the cars with them, like reflections in the waves.

Several cars quickly crossed the runway and stopped in front of Ron.

Before the car could fully stop, Ron saw a man press the top of the door with one hand, and the whole person also took off into the air, crossed the door with a beautiful pommel horse movement, and then stood firmly on the ground.

The person who jumped down was Valya, and she was excited about the upcoming confrontation drill. Although this is not a real battle with real guns, in any case, it is much more interesting than flying in formation and hitting empty targets. Moreover, in air combat, all kinds of reasonable or unreasonable tricks are used to bully those opponents who are full of machismo and proud like big roosters...... It's a pleasure to think about.

It was Valia who remembered a previous battle in the suburbs of Leningrad. In that battle, she and her wingman shot down 4 fascist fighters in one go, one of which was particularly cunning and ferocious at the time, but was eventually beaten down by her. The fascist pilot was an ace and was awarded the Iron Cross.

He was captured by the Red Army after landing, but even after being a prisoner, he still held the ace pilot on the stinking shelf, and offered to meet the pilot who could shoot him down in a 4-on-6 air battle, and he only answered the question of the hero who could knock him down. He didn't even believe that inferior Slavs could shoot him down in such an engagement, and he was sure that it would be a volunteer pilot from England or some other country of a more glamorous and noble race.

When Valya appeared in front of that guy, the guy's face was as beautiful as it could be. He was stunned at first, and then yelled at the officers of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs who were interrogating him, how dare they drag an inferior prostitute out and humiliate a noble Germanic like him.

Of course, such a bastard is purely a lesson, and before the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could make a move, Valia unceremoniously kicked this guy in the head, and directly kicked the bastard unconscious.

It turns out that those uneyed bastards are all lowly breeds, and only by giving them a little bit of power can they learn to respect women. Sure enough, that bastard was much more honest after being beaten by a guy. (Nima's, as a noble Germanic man, was actually knocked out by a Slavic woman, and his spirit was about to collapse, can he still be honest?) Then upon interrogation, the guy found that Valia was asking questions that a non-specialist would never ask. And he deliberately misstated some of the situations in the air battle, and he was immediately refuted by Valia to the point of incompleteness. In the end, the bastard finally believed that he had been beaten down by a woman. After receiving this stimulus, his whole person seemed to shrink a lot. It's like a flat broken tire.

And the frustration of that bastard made Valya feel so happy that it was even more refreshing than drinking two pounds of vodka in the middle of winter, so much so that she fell in love with it ever since. In the air battles that followed, she beat the "noble" Germanic barbarians to the ground again and again. So much so that the Germans gave her the nickname "Witch". When Valya, who has always been a maverick, learned of this name, she simply drew a witch flying on a broom on her vertical tail. From then on, as soon as she took to the air, the German radio channel was full of exclamations: "Danger attention, danger attention, witch in the air, witch in the air!" And such exclamations always bring her more happiness.

It's a pity that such a good thing may be difficult to have in the future. It was suddenly decided to learn from the successful experience of the Americans and form a simulated enemy army to train rookies who were going to go to war. It is said that this suggestion is the suggestion of the annoying Kotin, who got up by relying on his brother's relationship with a famous tank expert. Speaking of which, when I was studying in Moscow, that Kotin was not a good bird! This guy wrote a bullshit article and actually changed the title, and submitted it to two magazines to cheat the manuscript fee twice.

The glamorous Queen was also called up to join the proposed Blues force. I heard that this was also Cotin's idea. (Kejing: It's wrong, I found such a female uncle for myself because of my broken head!) From then on, she could no longer gallop to the front, and could only honestly stay in the rear with rookies.

This is really not good news for Valia, who has made bullying the foundation of his happiness. Rookies are not enemies after all, and there is no sense of accomplishment at all when bullied, and besides, you can't bully too much, you have to be careful to protect their self-confidence. How do you live such a day!

Fortunately, there is still a chance to play with the Yankees. It's a rare opportunity, so be sure to cherish it! Valia said to herself in her heart.

Now that everyone is here, Ron doesn't have much to say. After shaking hands with Kotin, who led the team, he announced that the confrontational drill of the US and Soviet pilots had officially begun.

All the procedures are simple, so there is no big speech in this announcement, no reporters, (reporter: We want to come, you just won't let it!) There was no salute or anything. As soon as Ron's words were finished, he went directly to the draw to select the opponent.

Here's how the draw works, starting with the rules of a soccer field, where Ron and Codin toss a coin to decide who draws first. Each side then sends a representative to draw one of the opponent's combinations.

Ron guessed the coin correctly, so he chose to draw the first round of pilots from the Soviet Union himself. He drew a lot like this:

Long machine: Volozheyikin. Wingman: Areliuqing

Kejing also immediately drew out the first round of American pilots:

Long Machine: Ron. Wingman: Bunge.

This was followed by the second and third rounds

Boynton and McGaia faced Valia and Skomorokhov, while Gobleski and Kahn faced Popkov and Luhansky.

According to the agreement, the first confrontation drill will be held this morning, the second in the afternoon, and the third tomorrow.
