"Buzz ......"

As hundreds of warplanes swept through the air in a neat formation, the sound of the engines was so huge that it could be heard clearly even on the ground several kilometers away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Colonel Kalinin, commander of the 56th Regiment of the 23rd Fighter Division of the Soviet Union, flew a La-5 destroyer at an altitude of 5,000 meters, and below him was the 63rd Fighter Regiment.

As he got closer to the battlefield, the smoke poured into the air from the ground grew, and from the air the whole land was pitch black, mixed with patches of fire, which Kalinin knew was the fire of the destroyed tank.

"Oh my God, how intense it is to fight down there!"

From time to time, the pilot's exclamations were heard in the headset, and the expression on Kalinin's face began to change, originally thought it was just an easy mission, but now it seems that this mission is far more difficult than he imagined. Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice with majesty came to his ears: "I am the commander of the Far Eastern Front, General Apanashchenko, call the flight commander in the sky, please answer when you hear it!" ”

When Kalinin heard this, he quickly pressed the send button and said loudly: "Comrade commander, I am Colonel Kalinin, commander of the 56th Regiment of the 23rd Destroyer Division, and I am waiting for your order!" ”

"Comrade Kalinin, our 17th Tank Division is engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy's armored division, and due to the enemy's extraordinary cunning and strength, the enemy has formed a situation of encirclement of our tank troops, and now I order you to immediately launch an attack on the enemy's armored forces, and be sure to destroy all the enemy's armored forces here, so as to open a passage for our tank troops," Apanashchenko said. ”

"Understand, we must ......"

Before Kalinin's words were finished, the exclamation of the pilot who served as an observer was heard from the headset: "Comrade regiment commander, the planes of the Huaxia people were found in the front, there were a lot of them, repeat, the planes of the Huaxia people were found, there were very many of them!" ”

"Not good!"

Kalinin was shocked in his heart, his first thought was that he was broken, and his actions were detected. Before he had time to think about it, he immediately shouted: "Report the situation to the division commander immediately, all destroyers will meet the enemy with me at once, and we must not let the enemy get close to our bombers!" ”

"Understood!"

With Kalinin's order, the pilots of the 56th Destroyer Regiment accelerated and rushed towards the enemy in front of them, and below was their group of Il-2 dive bombers, if the Chinese fighters were entangled, the losses would be great.

The Soviets' planes rushed forward, and the Huaxia planes in front also rushed head-on, and the two sides soon became entangled.

"Hoo ......"

As soon as Kalinin, who led the fifty-six destroyer group, approached the other party, he saw a black shadow swooping down towards him from a high altitude.

"Not good!"

The experienced Kalinin didn't have time to think about it at all, his right hand subconsciously pulled to the right, and the La-5, which was only 2605 kilograms, immediately and flexibly did a somersault to the right, and then Kalinin saw several fires passing by his left.

"This damn bastard!" Kalinin, who escaped, was anxious and angry, but he didn't expect that he had been playing with airplanes for most of his life, and he would be killed almost as soon as the war began, and if he was really killed by the other party just now, his reputation would be ruined.

When Kalinin pulled the joystick to climb the plane, he saw that another plane was also climbing like himself. Kalinin could already clearly see the other party's round fuselage and the clear Blue Sky and White Sun Medal on that huge body, and even the rivets on the fuselage.

"Those damn Yankees would rather give an advanced fighter like the P-47 to the Chinese, but they are not willing to give even one to the Soviet Union, which is also an ally,!"

Kalinin cursed secretly in his heart, he was naturally no stranger to aircraft like P-47 as a pilot, since two years ago, the Thunderbolt P-47 fighter and F6F shrew fighter piloted by the British flight unit sent by Su Jin to Britain made their debut in Britain and made a big show, the British, who were able to study this fighter at close range for the first time, were shocked, and they couldn't believe that Huaxia, which was backward in their eyes, could design such two advanced fighters.

Then the Americans naturally knew that the Republican Aircraft Company and Grumman, the original designers of the P-47 fighter in history, immediately sent engineers to Britain to obtain first-hand information, and with the tacit consent of Su Jin, the Americans quickly obtained two complete P-47 and F6F fighters. Seeing that the aircraft was full of strong American style, the Americans naturally began to imitate it unceremoniously, and soon a few months later, the Americans also began to mass-produce these two aircraft.

Of course, the Soviets didn't know all this, in their eyes these two planes were made by the Americans, and the Chinese were just lucky guys who got the two planes from the Americans by virtue of their good luck, and when these planes were exhausted, the Soviets would never believe that the Americans would always support the Chinese so unconditionally.

The two planes climbed to an altitude of 6,000 meters almost at the same time, and then to 7,000 meters and 8,000 meters, and the two planes were almost entangled in the air while climbing.

It is no wonder that Kalinin was surprised, the La-5 aircraft uses an M-82 star-type fourteen-cylinder air-cooled engine, equipped with a supercharger, its maximum power reaches 1268 kilowatts, which also makes its initial ascent rate reach 1,100 meters per minute, 5 minutes and 42 seconds to rise to 5,000 meters, and the maximum ascent rate is 19 meters per second.

In fact, what Kalinin didn't know was that the power of the R-2800-21W engine used in the P-47 fighter equipped by the Chinese army reached an astonishing 2300 kilowatts, which is almost double the power of the La-5, so although the weight of the P-47 reached an astonishing 4988 kg, in addition to the fighting and circling properties are not very good, it is not much worse than the La-5 in terms of climb rate.

The P-47 that fought Kalinin seemed to be a veteran, and he fought with Kalinin from low altitude to high altitude and from high altitude to low altitude. But what made Kalinin depressed was that he hit the opponent once, and although several 20mm cannons punched several holes in the opponent's fuselage, the opponent continued to entangle with him as if he was nothing.

"These guys are too resistant, aren't they?"

Seeing such a situation, Kalinin couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, if such an injury had been replaced by the La-5 he was driving, I am afraid that he would have been beaten into two sections a long time ago, for the power of the two Vladiminov 20 mm caliber cannons equipped with the La-5 Garinin is very clear, in the face of the power of the 20 good cannons, even the Fw190 of the German posture can't stop it, are the American planes so hard?

Just when Kalinin was a little dumbfounded, the Huaxia plane turned around and came at him, and a series of fires suddenly shot towards him. Kalinin, who was quick-eyed, immediately dodged, but the wingman who followed him was unlucky to be shot, because the La-5 fuselage used a lot of wood and filling, after being hit by dozens of large-caliber incendiary bombs, the La-5 piloted by the wingman immediately ignited a raging fire, and could only fall to the ground with black smoke.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Seeing that his wingman was mistakenly hit by the passenger car, Kalinin couldn't help but scream angrily, but it was a pity that he was unwilling and useless, the other party did not have even a trace of mercy for his subordinates because of his anger, and the P-47 that was entangled with him seemed to be on fire after being hit by several 20mm shells, and he was stunned to kill him with the powerful firepower behind the thick fuselage. There are constantly planes falling down with thick smoke, and even many planes explode and catch fire on the spot after being hit, and the entire plane turns into a fireball in mid-air.

After seven or eight minutes of air combat, the advantage of the P-47's thick skin and thick flesh gradually appeared, although the 20mm cannon of the La-5 destroyer was very powerful, as long as it did not hit the P-47's wings, cockpit and fuel tanks and other vital points, then it would be difficult to shoot down the opponent on the spot, and the wounded P-47 would not stay here and wait for death, they would cover each other and quickly withdraw from the battlefield, the pilots of the 56th Fighter Aviation Regiment wanted to pursue but were blocked by nearby aircraft, so although both sides had planes shot down, But in total, the losses of the Soviet army were much greater than those of the Chinese.

Just as the balance of victory was tilting toward the Chinese side, Soviet reinforcements arrived, and Major General Floria, commander of the 23rd Soviet Destroyer Division, arrived with more than 260 planes from the 57th and 58th regiments and a bomber aviation regiment.

When six or seven hundred warplanes fought fiercely in the sky, the entire sky seemed to be covered by airplanes, and the dense warplanes shrouded the battlefield within a radius of tens of kilometers, with hundreds of warplanes fighting to the death in the sky and hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles, and tens of thousands of infantry fighting on the ground. From time to time, tanks on the ground are hit, explode and catch fire, and from time to time in the sky, planes that are hit fall down with thick smoke, and from time to time there are snow-white parachutes floating down, but every parachute landing will cause the ground troops to desperately grab it.

Behind an unnamed hill less than 50 kilometers away from the battlefield, there is a yellow-green meadow, which looks exactly like the surrounding grassland scenery from a distance, but if someone walks in, they will find that all the grass-green things in this piece are pieces of camouflage nets, and under the camouflage nets are tanks and patrolling soldiers, and in a huge tent covering an area of more than 300 square meters, hundreds of staff officers, communications personnel, and officers are busy nervously.

"Sir, Lao Maozi has increased his troops again, and another infantry division is heading towards the 602 position, they want to rescue the surrounded Soviet 17th Armored Division!" Qiu Lihua, who was dressed in a strict military uniform, walked quickly to Su Jin, who was sitting in front of a map and was pondering, and reported loudly.

Su Jin thought for a while and asked, "What about Fred's side, how long will it take to eat all the 17th Tank Division of the Soviets?" ”

Qiu Lihua said with some embarrassment: "Just now Division Commander Fred just sent a telegram, and he said that it is estimated that it will take another hour to end the battle. ”

"What...... Another hour? I don't have that much American time to waste on him! Su Jin's face showed displeasure, and his expression became serious: "You tell Fred immediately, I will immediately transfer the armored regiment of the guard brigade to him, but I want him to eat the Soviet tank division within thirty minutes, otherwise the next second round of equipment change will be given to the second armored division!" ”

"Yes!"

Qiu Lihua stood upright, turned around and conveyed this order.

A few minutes later, Fred, who received the telegram, was not well, for a soldier who had received a typical German education since childhood, honor was their life. At that time, no matter who thought that the first person to change the armor must be the first division led by Fred, after all, as the oldest veteran of the Third Army and the most armored troops, it was naturally the first object of the first outfit without a doubt, but Su Jin actually said that if he couldn't get the opponent in thirty minutes, he would give this place to the Second Armored Division, how could this make Fred stand it, you must know that the Second Armored Division has been formed for less than a year, Almost all of the backbones in it were transferred from the First Armored Division, and if they were allowed to take the first place for the nearly 20,000 soldiers of the entire First Armored Division, where would they go?

After standing still for less than ten seconds, Fred grabbed the microphone and said sharply: "All the troops obey my order, immediately launch a strong attack on the Soviet army, and destroy the enemy army in forty minutes at all costs!" Remember, we only have thirty minutes, not a minute more! ”

With Fred's order, the entire 1st Panzer Division was almost boiling. The 2nd and 3rd Panzer Regiments did not hesitate to speed up the encirclement and annihilation, and the Cheetah Destroyer Battalion under the Panzer Division also began to risk the opportunity to start shooting at the Soviet tanks.

By 8:30 a.m., less than 30 tanks of the 17th Tank Division of the Soviet Army were encircled around a ring fortification of the first line of the former Huaxia Army, relying on the difficult terrain to resist the attack of the Huaxia tanks.
