This air raid by the Luftwaffe Fourth Air Force was carefully choreographed, both as an open-board daytime air raid and as a trap for the Soviet Air Force fighter units.

After a year of fighting, the Luftwaffe and the Soviet Air Force were already old rivals and old friends, knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses inside out.

The two major shortcomings of the Soviet Air Force fighters are the short range and the fact that they are mainly used in the medium and low altitude areas below 4,000 meters.

In view of the short range of most of the Soviet Air Force's aircraft, Chen Daocai ordered the "Imperial Marshal" armored division to go deep behind enemy lines, directly attack the enemy's airfield, and drive the Soviet combat planes in the north and east away from the Donets River front.

In this air attack, in response to the second major shortcoming of the Soviet Air Force, the HE-111 bomber group deliberately raised the flight altitude to 5,500 meters, and if the Soviet Air Force fighters wanted to intercept it, they had to fly to this altitude, or even higher.

And the altitude of 5,500 meters is at the best combat altitude of the ME-109 series fighters, in order to ensure the success of the air strike, in the rear of the bomber group and the escort fighter group, the ME-262A-1a "Swallow" fighters of the EK-262 group follow up at an altitude of about 7,000 meters, once the prey is hooked, they will use high speed to dive down from the high altitude and catch the enemy by surprise.

Captain Khrushchev's fighter squadron happened to be the first target encountered by the ME-262 fighter when he arrived on the battlefield.

The Soviet fighters wanted to seize the altitude and condescendingly launched an attack on the German bomber group, but they happened to encounter the ME-262 jet fighter group that accelerated down from a higher altitude, which made Captain Khrushchev scream "There is someone above us".

Panicking at being ambushed by the enemy, Captain Khrushchev followed closely behind Captain Zamorin's Yak-9 and slashed down straight into the HE-111 bomber group, quickly attracting the attention of the pilots on the bomber group.

In the blink of an eye, the spherical machine gun towers on the backs of at least four HE-111 bomber planes turned their muzzles, and 13-mm large-caliber machine gun bullets flew in strings.

Captain Khrushchev drove the plane from side to side, making it more difficult for the opponent to aim.

Captain Zamorin chose a tricky angle, and the two planes flew directly behind the German bomber group.

Directly behind the bomber group, passing by an HE-111 bomber, Captain Zamorin's plane saw 20mm cannon and 12.7mm machine gun bullets fly out, shattering the bomber's right tail.

Captain Khrushchev, following the example of Captain Zamorin, also attacked that bomber.

Less than ten meters away, two Yak-9 fighters, one left and one right, flew over the sides of the tail of the HE-111 bomber, diagonally towards a lower altitude.

Behind them, with bullet holes and a broken tail on one side, the HE-111 bomber lost its balance, rapidly decreased in altitude, and crashed towards the ground.

Captain Khrushchev glanced back at the downed HE-111 bomber, but instead of any joy, the muscles of his right cheek twitched rapidly.

"Oops, we're being targeted again, it's two Messerschmidt."

Hearing Captain Khrushchev's warning, Captain Zamorin looked back and clearly saw three planes behind him.

Flying behind his right was Captain Khrushchev, and further behind him were two German ME-109 fighters.

The two of them had just shot down the HE-111 bomber, which attracted the attention of the two ME-109 fighters, and they were immediately tracked.

"Leonid, I'll turn it upside down, you keep flying, don't stop." Captain Zamorin shouted.

"Roger."

Captain Khrushchev piloted the plane and continued to rock the fuselage from side to side to avoid shells and bullets flying from behind.

Captain Zamorin, however, piloted the plane from a diagonal downward dive to an oblique upward altitude, from using gravity to accelerate to intending to confront gravity, and the speed of Captain Zamorin's Yak-9 fighter immediately slowed down significantly.

Captain Khrushchev was in front, two ME-109 fighters were behind, and three planes, unsuspected, flew under Captain Zamorin's plane one after another, and continued to fly diagonally towards low altitudes.

After the three planes had passed, Captain Zamorin reoriented himself and pursued the three planes.

With a simple action, four planes immediately turned into Captain Khrushchev in front, two German fighters in the middle, and Captain Zamorin in the last order.

Locking the crosshair of the sight to the German fighter in front of him, Captain Zamorin drove the plane to maximum speed.

At a distance of about 100 meters, Captain Zamorin opened fire so violently that several large holes were instantly made in the right wing of a ME-109 fighter jet flying behind, and then it snapped, and the plane plummeted to the ground in a spiral.

Another ME-109 fighter saw that the situation was not good, and no longer pursued Captain Khrushchev, turned the nose and flew north.

Changing the course of the plane, Captain Zamorin immediately pursued the fleeing enemy plane.

"Haha······ We've killed him, so you can chase me again. Captain Khrushchev, sensing the change in the battle situation, turned the nose of the aircraft and followed Captain Zamorin in pursuit of the enemy in the left rear.

"Yes, that unlucky fellow dared to chase after us······ Ah······h

Killing an enemy plane, Captain Zamorin's voice full of joy came from the radio, and Captain Khrushchev had just heard half of it when he suddenly saw a dark shadow rushing from the sky above him.

The black shadow swooped down and pulled up like a swallow in water, and in his sight, the fuselage behind the cockpit of Captain Zamorin's plane, which was flying in front, suddenly broke in two, and a long scream came over the radio.

Amid the screams, Khrushchev watched the broken fuselage fall to the ground in the morning, and no one parachuted.

A chill rushed from his heels to the top of his head, and Captain Khrushchev stared overhead, just in time to see an enemy fighter turn from the diagonal rear sky, swoop down and pounce on himself.

There was no time to mourn for the downed Captain Zamorin, and Captain Khrushchev hurriedly piloted the plane diagonally downward, and at the same time made an urgent right turn and flew straight to the east.

Looking at the rising sun that had just jumped out of the horizon in front of him, Captain Khrushchev pointed the nose of the plane at the sun and thought silently in his heart.

"Great Apollo, save my life."

Behind Captain Khrushchev was none other than Captain Marseilleu, the leader of the 7th Squadron of the Luftwaffe EK-262 Flying Group.

The moment Captain Marseilleu and his wingman turned, they were distanced by Captain Khrushchev and Captain Zamorin.

Taking advantage of the high speed of the ME-262 jet, Captain Marseilleu slowly closed the distance between himself and the fighter in front of him, clearly seeing what the enemy aircraft was doing in front of him.

Seeing that an HE-111 bomber and a ME-109 fighter were shot down by enemy aircraft in front of him, the sneer on the corner of Captain Marseilleu's mouth disappeared.

Killing the Luftwaffe plane in front of him, the two enemy planes in front of him were provoking his professionalism, Captain Marseilleu stared angrily at the two Yak-9 fighters in front of him, and took advantage of Captain Zamorin's momentary laxity after the victory, and cleanly fired 30 mm and 20 mm cannon shells onto Captain Zamorin's plane.

Seeing that an enemy plane was hit and broken in two and fell to the ground, Captain Marseilleu turned the nose of the plane and chased after the surviving Captain Khrushchev.

Seeing the enemy plane in front of him making an emergency right turn, Captain Marseilleu took control of the plane and chased after Captain Khrushchev in a chase.

Captain Khrushchev walked in a curve, Captain Marseilleu walked in a straight line, and when the two met again, the distance had been narrowed to within two hundred meters.

Putting the Yak-9 fighter in front of him into the crosshair of the sight, Marseilleu was about to fire, when a golden disc suddenly appeared in front of him, and a dazzling golden light flew towards him, and Captain Marseilleu subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

The enemy plane in front of it was shrouded in golden light, which merged with the golden morning sun, and Captain Marseilleu, with his last consciousness, fired a point shot.

Interfered by the sun, this round of fire was almost equivalent to blind fire, and none of the shells hit.

Captain Khrushchev also squinted, first looking back to see the enemy plane following behind, and then at the altimeter, which was about 3,500 meters high.

Pulling the control stick, Captain Khrushchev manipulated the plane to make an emergency left turn, taking advantage of the small turning radius of the Yak-9 fighter, made a beautiful circling maneuver, took advantage of the precious opportunity when Captain Marseilleu's eyes were illuminated by the sun's rays and was temporarily blind, got rid of the other party's tracking, turned to the left sky of Captain Marseilleu, and rushed towards Captain Marseilleu's plane from the left rear.

Captain Marseilleu, disturbed by the sun, did not detect the tactical movements of Captain Khrushchev in front in time, and at the last moment, the voice of the wingman suddenly came over the radio: "Captain, he is on your left." ”

Without thinking, Captain Marseilleu subconsciously steered the plane and made a deft roll motion to avoid the cannonballs and bullets flying from the left rear.

The roll was complete, and the plane had just resumed its smooth flight, and Captain Marseilleu's vision returned to normal, and his eyes immediately locked on the enemy fuselage above the front.

Turning the nose of the plane, using the feel he had cultivated over a long period of hard work, Captain Marseilleu fired a cannonball almost at a distance of less than a hundred meters at hand, and the fuselage of the plane in front of him shattered in the air and fell to the ground.

Without seeing the other party parachute, Captain Marseilleu stared at the wreckage of the rapidly falling plane and said with satisfaction: "Our 30mm gun is really good." ”

Turning the nose around, Captain Marseilleu looks for a new target and moves on to the next battle.

Escorted by ME-109 and ME-262 fighters, the HE-111 bomber groups of the three groups were frightened along the way, but they still stubbornly flew to the Soviet airfield south of the city of Boguchar.

50 kilograms of aerial bombs and TB-23 butterfly bomb spreaders flew out of the bomb magazine in droves and fell densely on the airfield on the ground.

The altitude of 5,500 meters not only caused trouble for the fighters of the Soviet Air Force, but also caused great trouble to the Soviet anti-aircraft artillery on the ground.

At this height, not only anti-aircraft machine guns, but even the M1939-type 37-mm anti-aircraft guns had an effective firing height of only 3,000 meters, and the air defense personnel at the airfield could only use 85-mm anti-aircraft guns for defense.

However, in the face of the overwhelming, dense aerial bombs that make people suffer from dense phobia, the fear of death filled the eyes of the Soviet ground crews.

"Rumbling ······" Successive explosions rang out, clouds of gunpowder smoke rose and swelled, and nearly two-thirds of the airfields were shrouded in black······
