"This is your second attack, and if you don't want to be penalized for writing a review and sweeping the floor for three days like you did last time, you'd better be better." Standing in front of Hartman, his long machine spoke.

Hartman was nervous, he had already messed up once before, and now this was his second chance, and he had to take advantage of this one.

The advanced TA-152 fighter is much better than the ME-109 fighter, so Hartman himself knows that his aircraft can provide him with better support.

It's a pity that the embarrassing performance of his attack on the long plane last time really made him a little depressed, so before this takeoff, he was still nervous.

"Keep up with the long machine...... And obey the orders of the long plane......" over and over again, Hartman muttered quietly before getting on the plane.

"Don't be too nervous! This will affect your reaction! The pilot of the long plane saw Hartman, who was already sweating on his forehead, and walked over to comfort him.

Their combat flight this time was a little easier than before. After all, the Soviet Air Force in the Kursk region has now been beaten to the ground.

It's really not a good thing - there were Soviet pilots who took off to meet German planes, and now this has become very rare.

The Soviets rarely had the courage to take off their precious fighters, wasting their own precious pilots. German planes roamed around the sky, and they could not find the weak Soviet Air Force.

"Maintain your height as much as possible! Here's a secret! The pilot of the long plane kindly reminded: "Don't fire at me again!" Otherwise, I'll go back and beat you down!" ”

A joke that made Hartman blush, the pilot turned back to his fighter.

Then, with the help of the ground crew, the propellers of the two-person plane began to spin rapidly.

"Ready to take off! Test your meter and radio! Give me a signal when you're ready, and we'll take off! "Inside the headset, the long plane is routinely checking the various equipment on the plane.

This is also a process that must be carried out, and checking one's own weapons and equipment may be an increasingly important link in high-tech warfare.

Because people rely more and more on weapons to fight, once the weapon fails, it will directly affect the life safety of soldiers and also directly affect combat effectiveness.

"I'm all set!" After doing the last check, Hartmann opened his mouth to confirm.

Then, the two men took control of the plane, the -152 fighter jet, and walked together in the sky, towards the airspace they were going to patrol, quickly moving away.

"JG-52 Wing patrol aircraft! JG-52 Wing patrol aircraft! This is the ground tower! This is the ground tower! Shortly after the two men lifted off, the voice of the command was heard from inside the headphones.

The officer on duty on the ground repeated his words again and again: "Left side of your designated patrol airspace...... The coordinates are roughly between G-6, there are some anomalies! Please check it out! Please check it out! ”

"We are JG-52 wing patrol aircraft! We are JG-52 wing patrol aircraft! What's going on there! "The pilots of the long planes began to identify the targets they were looking for.

"There was some erratic signal on the radar, and we couldn't determine if it was an enemy plane or something else weird." The Air Force commander on the ground replied.

The radar system of July 1941 was far from being so accurate. Although Germany may now use the best radar in the world, it still cannot accurately reflect all the situations on the battlefield.

"Understood! 01 patrol aircraft formation, go and see it immediately! The long plane turned off the communication with the tower, connected the communication with his wingman Hartmann, and said, "Come with me!" Maybe we'll be able to meet the planes of the Soviets! ”

For pilots of long planes, the presence of Soviet enemy planes often means that new achievements may be sent to the door.

But for Hartman, who was following behind the long plane, this would be another test of his psychological quality.

"Okay! Leader! I'm after you! "This kind of follow-up flight is not a problem for Hartman, he is a top student in the flight school, but he is a little nervous because of his lack of actual combat experience.

He piloted his TA-152 fighter jet, followed by his long plane, and the two planes, one in front of the other, rushed to the abnormal airspace at the height of the clouds.

With a glimmer of white clouds around him, Hartman felt his plane's engines spinning and working. There was a slight jolt in the fuselage of his plane, a subtle effect of the draft.

Because the TA-152 fighters were so fast, it took them only a few minutes to rush to the problematic place.

Then, they saw something green wriggling not far below them.

"Il-2 attack aircraft! Two! I saw two! The pilot of the long plane flying in front saw the target and shouted loudly to Hartmann.

"I saw it too! I saw it too! This time, because of the altitude, Hartmann very calmly saw the Il-2 attack aircraft flying at low altitude.

Soviet planes were painted in green, which in itself had a certain camouflage character. Flying close to the ground makes these planes very difficult to spot.

If it weren't for the abnormality of the radar, they would have made a special trip to confirm it with their own eyes, and it would have been easy to miss such a prey just by relying on high-altitude patrols.

"They have 4! Repeat! Leader! I saw that they had four! After confirming the number of enemies, Hartmann reminded himself loudly.

"Excellent! You've spotted another two-plane formation! After the long plane praised it, he gave the order to attack: "Start diving with me in 3 seconds!" Let's attack the one formation I found! ”

"Understood! Got it! Hartman, who had spotted the enemy and had his first experience flying in real combat, felt his heart beat faster, but everything was still under his control.

"I'm starting to dive!" Inside the radio, the voice of a long machine was heard. When Hartman heard this, he quickly pushed down his plane's control stick, causing his plane to dive as well.

Because the speed starts to increase, the engine is a little noisier. Hartman peered through the narrow canopy of the plane and saw that his nose was aimed at the long plane.

Being able to see the location of the long plane made Hartman inexplicably reassured. He steered the plane, keeping a distance from the long plane, and rushed towards the target in the distance.

The second one is a little later, and you can watch it tomorrow morning.
