"Sir! This is the formation signal after the take-off of the latest detected Soviet fighter! A German radarman pointed at the radar screen, and then marked the location of the Soviet fighter on the corresponding map.

"There should be a Soviet field airfield here, a secret airfield!" Pointing to the location on the map, the Luftwaffe commander said firmly.

Since the Soviet Union was able to find the approximate location of the German field airfield, the German army naturally also had its own means to find the field airfield of the Soviet counterpart.

It's just that the Soviet Union used the intelligence provided by civilians and its own speculation to determine the German airfield, and the German army's method of determining the Soviet airfield was much more advanced.

The Germans had 11 field airfields on the front line, deploying a wide range of combat aircraft. The USSR found only 8 of them, and 3 more.

The Soviet Union built a total of 10 field airfields on the front line, but almost all of these 10 airfields were within the monitoring area of German radar, so none of them were discovered.

Compared with what the Soviet Union guessed, the German army has more detailed information because of its high-tech detection technology.

For example, the Germans had already guessed the size of these field airfields and the number of deployed troops.

"A total of 10 field airfields...... That's a lot! With a sneer, the front commander of the Luftwaffe threw away the documents in his hand and commanded: "According to the predetermined plan, start the counterattack!" ”

"TA-152 fighters taking off from second-line field airfields are coming! Guided by radar, they will soon be able to encounter Soviet fighters patrolling the sky! A German staff officer reported.

This is the beauty of asymmetric warfare in modern warfare: the battlefield is only unilaterally transparent to the high-tech side, and the technologically backward side, like the blind and the deaf, loses any means of counterattack.

German fighters could cut into the battlefield from the most suitable azimuth under the guidance of radar. They know where the enemy is and whether there are reinforcements around before they enter the battlefield.

Soviet fighter pilots, on the other hand, only knew where they were and did not know where the enemy would attack them, as if they were looking for the enemy with a flashlight in the dark.

"Use radio navigation!" "Backup radar power on!" "Determine the height of the enemy, as well as the course!" "Let the fighters on the front line take off and fight!" "In the suddenly busy headquarters, German officers gave orders one after another!

"Cancel the Secret Words! Keep the communication going! Grabbing the radio microphone, the German commander gave the order to start the battle in a loud voice: "The hammer operation begins!" Repeat! Hammer battle begins! ”

The sirens of emergency take-off echoed over all the German field airfields, and one combat aircraft after another flapped their wings over the sirens.

On the third day when the Soviet Air Force thought it had closed the gap, the Luftwaffe launched its second fierce offensive since the war began on the Eastern Front.

The last time the Luftwaffe made such a dense sortie was on the first day of the Soviet-German war. On that day, a third of the planes of the Soviet Eastern Front were paralyzed on the ground, and the remaining fifth was wiped out in the sky.

This time, the Soviet radio listening stations were drowned out in a cacophony. The Soviet electromechanical officer in charge of the monitoring almost dropped the headphones to the ground in fright.

He turned back with a pale face, and with a hint of trembling, he shouted: "The Germans' communications are suddenly frequent, and they are on the move!" They're on the move! ”

"Get our fighters back!" Evgeny was startled, and then quickly opened his mouth to order.

You must know that no matter how much he inflates himself, he will not think that the fighter force in his hand can fight a war of attrition with the main force of the German army.

Once the Germans took off more than 50 aircraft, it would be better for the Soviet Air Force to take evasive measures to reduce its own losses.

There is only one end to hard fighting: shoot down about 50 German fighters in one day, and then lose 100 or even more than 120 planes yourself.

This loss was unbearable for the Soviet Air Force, because now the production of advanced fighters such as MiG and Lager is only enough for 3 or 4 days of consumption.

If they continue to lose each other, Germany will have at least a thousand ace pilots, and the Soviet Union will only have rookies who can't fly planes.

Just as Yevghny ordered his fighters to hurry back, the Soviet fighter pilots who were patrolling the sky found themselves seemingly poking a hornet's nest.

Moreover, this stab stabbed a giant hornet's nest: German fighters came on all sides, and the whole sky seemed to boil.

"We have German fighters on our left! Damn it! A Soviet wingman cursed and began to climb with his own long plane.

It is impossible for patrols to be at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, and their current altitude is only more than 6,000 meters.

But as they began to climb, they noticed that at an altitude of almost 2,000 meters above their heads, a number of German fighters were also approaching.

Counting the German fighters who entered the battlefield on the left, they had already spotted at least 10 German fighters.

"Comrades, hold on! Spread out the formation! Separate from the battlefield! "Seeing that there were also German fighters above their heads, the Soviet fighter front commander, having lost the height advantage, decided to immediately withdraw and retreat.

Since there is no way to rely on climbing to establish your height advantage, you can only prepare for the grappling and then look for an opportunity to escape in the grappling.

Seeing so many German fighters, the Soviet pilots knew that today was definitely a tough battle. Since the other party has taken off so many planes, it is absolutely impossible to let them leave easily.

Fortunately, there were also 10 Soviet fighters on patrol, and in terms of numbers it seems that they did not fall into much of a disadvantage.

But just as they were preparing for the first attack of the German fighters, 10 more German fighters joined the battle group to their left.

These German fighters also retained the identification of friend or foe livery from the Battle of Britain airfront, with a bright yellow nose that glittered in the sky.

For a while, the engines roared in the sky, and one after another German fighters began to dive in the clouds, and the Soviet fighters were surrounded and could only scatter in all directions to respond hastily.

In the midst of Yevgny's despair, the "Heavy Hammer Operation Plan", in which the Germans sounded the horn of counterattack, began!
