All the Me-262s that could fly took off, and the planes swirled around the sky, not finding any bombers, but encountering a fleet of about 70-80 P-51 fighters. Before going to heaven, Marshal Speiler asked them not to fight enemy fighters. However, considering the current situation, it is very favorable. The JG-7 jets are still going to do something.

At that time, the JG-7's 32 ME-262s spotted a group of P-51s at an altitude of 7,000 meters, and the two sides were basically at the same altitude, but those P-51s could fly at a maximum speed of 400 km/h, while the JG-7's ME-262 was at a speed of 730 km/h. At high speeds, the ME-262 has a fairly good rate of climb. Wing Captain Johannes?? Colonel Steinhoff decided to launch an attack on the group of P-51 fighters.

Since the enemy has a clear numerical superiority, Johannes?? Colonel Steinhoff decided to first use the climb to gain an altitude advantage, and then attack the enemy aircraft formation by dive. Strive to succeed in one blow and never get entangled with enemy aircraft.

Because the ME-262 does not roll well, this makes it difficult for the ME-262 to keep up with the enemy aircraft once it dives to attack the enemy aircraft. This weakness is further amplified especially when the proximity of the two sides is very high. So much so that the efficiency of the ME-262 at the time of attacking fighters was quite a one-book-read-novel xstxt problem.

However, the problem of a single machine can be compensated for by the cooperation of the group. Johannes?? Colonel Steinhoff divided his fighters into eight teams of four, and when attacking fighters, they would first fire anti-aircraft rockets at the target that were originally intended to be used against bombers, although this thing was not suitable for hitting targets such as fighters, but it could at least force the opponent to do a dodge maneuver, more or less make the opponent lose a little energy. In addition, it can reduce its own load and make its aircraft a little more flexible. Then it is necessary to give full play to the advantages of coordination, if the coordination is good, 4 aircraft attack a target, there is still a great chance of shooting down the opponent.

At this time, the opponent also discovered those ME-262s of the JG-7 wing. At high altitude, the low temperature water vapor condenses on the particulate matter in the exhaust fumes of the engine, forming a distinct track. The opposing pilot could be seen from a distance. Add to that the jet engine used by the ME-262 makes a loud and eerie sound. The other party can also hear it from a considerable distance. Therefore, it is very difficult for the ME-262 of the large fleet to sneak attack others at high altitudes.

Johannes?? Colonel Steinhoff began to rise and quickly gained a high advantage. The P-51 on the opposite side also quickly increased the distance between the planes, and instead of climbing, it dived slightly, allowing its speed to increase, thus reserving energy for the evasion behind.

After completing the occupancy, 32 ME-262s first fired anti-aircraft rockets at the Americans. 768 rockets rained down on the P-51, and the scene was spectacular. However, as the Germans expected, the rocket passed through the P-51's fleet and failed to shoot down even a single enemy aircraft.

However, the Germans did not expect those rockets to hit anything, and then the rockets, 32 ME-262s of the JG-7 roared down.

Under normal circumstances, when an attack is launched, it is the old pilots who rush to the front. But this time, the assault group of JG-7 was not arranged in this way. Because of the low roll of the ME-262, most of the fighters who rushed down were unlikely to get a good chance to shoot, so the pilots who rushed to the front were all junior pilots, and those masters were ranked further behind.

Second Lieutenant Somme's P-51 was targeted by a four-plane group of ME-262. He was a new pilot, and he was startled by the rain of rockets that had failed to hit him, but he had made several large overload maneuvers as he dodged. As a result, his plane lost a lot of energy, and the speed of the plane was significantly reduced.

Somme's P-51 was an obvious target, and the battle-hardened birds of JG-7 immediately noticed him. As a result, four ME-262s swooped down on him. With a sharp turn, Somme dodged the attack of the first Me-262, but his sharp turn sent him directly to the guns of the other Me-262.

"A rookie is a rookie, and he always cares about his head and tail when he dodges." Captain Stamm fired a salvo and shot a P-51 that he had sent himself under his gun, and then he was in the mood to complain about it again.

In the first round of attacks, the JG-7's ME-262 shot down a total of 6 enemy aircraft, but they did not lose anything.

Stam carefully pulled up the plane, this action must not be too urgent, unlike the FW-190, the ME-262 at high speed, pull up violently, it is easy to have things such as engine stalling, or even engine fire, and at this time, no matter what phenomenon occurs, it can be fatal.

As a result, the P-51s were ready to attack at a faster pace than when FXSTXTE-262 pulled back up and seized the attacking position.

"The jets of the Germans had four 30-mm guns, which were hugely powerful. One frontal hit was enough to destroy a fighter like the P-51. In general, it is quite dangerous to shoot head-on with it. However, its 30 guns were inferior in range and rate of fire to ours 20 guns. Therefore, when you are at a disadvantage, it is actually a feasible option to take advantage of your small turning radius and find a way to shoot at it. This is what Ron mentioned when he was analyzing with the fighter pilots what to do when facing the ME-262.

Now in the face of ME-262's combo attack, there will always be a time when simple dodging is not a mistake. Therefore, Captain Sith ordered: "Stop simply dodging, prepare to shoot at them!" ”

So this time, when JG-7's ME-262 swooped down again, the P-51 below did not dodge left and right again, instead, they pulled up and rushed straight towards ME-262.

Stamm wasn't too worried about this situation, he was quite confident in the ME-262's firepower, plus now he was diving, and his opponent was jumping. With the help of gravity, the trajectory of the shells fired by the ME-262 will become straighter, and the opponent's will become more curved. And the Me-262 is also more robust than the P-51. So he didn't feel the need to dodge this kind of firefight.

As Stam had predicted, a 30mm shell sent the P-51 below into the air, but almost at the same time, Stam heard a "poof, puff" sound from his own fuselage. There is no doubt that he was also shot, apparently, he underestimated the four 51 guns on the P-20.

In head-on hedging, the cannonballs are most powerful. If it is usual, if you are hit by a few shots of 20 guns, if you are lucky, it may not be over, but in the current situation, a shot is almost fatal.

Stam looked at his plane, and the engine on his right was already on fire. Stam knew that the engine could explode at any moment, and then kill himself. He had to jump out of the cockpit before the engine exploded.

Stam unbuckled his seat belt and prepared to climb out of the cabin and skydive. But at that moment, the engine exploded with a thud, and the wings were broken in two. The plane began to spin wildly, and Stam was slammed into the canopy......

In this round of counterfire, 6 more P-51s were shot down, but this time, the Me-262 also suffered considerable losses. 4 of the same Me-262 were shot down, one more was wounded. Although now it seems that the result of the air battle was 12: 4, the loss of 3 P-51s in exchange for one Me-262. The Germans seemed to have the upper hand. But Johannes?? Colonel Steinhoff knew that this account could not be counted in this way. The ME-7 pilots in the JG-262 wing are aces, and any one of them is worth far more than those American rookies. Such an exchange is really a big loss.

"It would be nice if we just walked away after the first round of attacks." Johannes?? Colonel Steinhoff had such an idea.

But it's still too late to leave, Johannes?? Colonel Steinhoff immediately ordered: "Retreat!" So the ME-262s retreated voluntarily after staggering with the Americans.

The P-51, of course, did not have the capital to pursue, so they could only watch the Me-262 go away.

After landing, the Me-262 underwent a considerable overhaul before it could go into the sky again. This also means that when the bomber force appears, the ME-262 will not be able to go to the sky.

This was exactly what Marshal Speller needed, and in his opinion the sword of the ME-262 was far from ready for immediate use. To this end, he and Adolf, who specially and directly managed the ME-262?? General Garland had a long conversation, hoping that he would continue to protect the sword after his abdication until the moment came to fight back effectively.

"Marshal Catherine will understand that, too, and you don't need to worry too much about that." In the end, Field Marshal Sspeller promised him that he would persuade Field Marshal Catherine to support this plan.

…… Just as the ME-262 landed one after another and was quickly moved to a safe location, other fighters and interceptors such as the FW-190 and BF-109, as well as the JU88 and BF-110, began to take off.

The commanders issued a call to the pilots to "keep the enemy out of Berlin, even if it hits." But this call is really only valid for rookies who have flown less than 50 hours. The war has been going on until now, and only those seventeen or eighteen-year-old little ones will still really believe in that.
