Chapter 1593: Machine Guns and Cannons (Add. 3)

Not everyone can stand the test, and historically, the harsh military regulations have greatly reduced the number of defectors in the later Soviet operations, and it is also because of the success of the defense of Moscow that has boosted their confidence.

But now, with Moscow in ruins and the Soviet edifice about to topple, there will certainly be some weak-willed people who will defect to the new camp.

Stalin's cruelty can scare people as well as scare them away.

Leonid was one of them.

Leonid was desperate to escape, and now, Varisi, who was behind, was chasing him, and as long as he dared to throw himself into the enemy, he had to be killed.

For this reason, Varisi did not even pay attention to the German fighters flying overhead, for him, traitors were the most intolerable, and the P-39 fighters, with a graceful glide line, chased Leonid, getting closer and closer.

In the air chase, the aircraft behind is advantageous, even if the speed of both sides is the same, the aircraft behind can also cut the radius, thereby shortening the distance, and now the trajectory of Varisi is exactly the shortest route.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and with anger in his eyes, Varysi slowly approached, closer, and then, he pressed the button on the joystick.

"Tom tom!" A 37-mm cannon opened fire in the nose, and several shells flew towards the target with a fierce murderous aura, and only one hit could blow the plane through a large hole.

At the same time, this cannon also has only 30 rounds of ammunition, so it must be used sparingly when firing, and Varisi can't keep holding it all the time, which is cool, but the shells are gone in an instant.

At this moment, Leonid actually pulled the rudder, and the plane turned to the right, successfully dodging several shells that came in.

The trajectory of the 37-mm gun was already a little curved, and if you wanted to hit, you could only get close to open fire.

Switch to machine guns! Varisi quickly adjusted his weapon conversion knob and selected the wing machine gun.

The P-39's firepower was formidable, with four 7.62mm machine guns on the wings in addition to the 37mm guns.

He had to save a little on the machine gun, and the machine gun was not needed, and four machine guns had 4,000 rounds of ammunition in reserve, which was enough to form a dense rain of bullets.

At this moment, in Valisi's vision, there is only a traitor, and he wants to kill him!

The dense bullets formed a terrible metal storm, and one by one the yellow-orange-orange 7.62 mm warheads flew towards the target.

Leonid felt his plane tremble feebly in the storm, and a volley of bullets swept into his tail, instantly smashing his tail into pieces.

Then, a row of bullet holes appeared in the rear fuselage, and as long as Varisi continued to pull the lever, a dense rain of bullets could hit the cab and shoot Leonid to death in the seat.

Just when Leonid was terrified, the German fighters finally arrived.

By now, Major Wiesenberg had been too slow if he had not been able to guess what was happening.

Obviously, this is chasing traitors, and the plane in front is probably trying to defect, so of course he will not hesitate to deal with the fighter plane behind.

Diveling down again from the air, Major Wiesenberg's plane easily chased after Varysi.

German fighters have long been unified in armament.

In World War II, aircraft in many countries still use machine guns as the main air combat weapon, but the caliber of machine guns is too small, so it is common for planes to drag hundreds of bullet holes, and finally fly back unscathed.

The power of the machine gun is no longer enough, so the machine gun as the main weapon of the fighter will be inadequate, and it must be used as an aerial gun.

The larger the caliber of the gun, the greater the power, but this will lead to other problems, the first is the small bomb load, such as the 37 mm gun, the reserve ammunition is only dozens of rounds, and there is no more after a few hits, the second is the ballistic curve, the larger the caliber of the shell, the more curved it will be when it goes out, after all, the barrel cannot be too long.

Therefore, all things considered, the 20 mm aircraft gun should be more appropriate, at the same time, on the other hand, it is also because the German air-to-air missile has been steadily developed, although it is still very primitive, but the future sky must belong to the air-to-air missile, there is no need to engage in particularly large-caliber air artillery.

A 20mm one is just right.

The current F190 uses the Mauser MG 151/20 20 mm gun, which is the main weapon of the aviation force.

"Boom!" A shell successfully hit the tail of the P-39, instantly breaking half of the tail hanging, and it was only then that Varisi realized that he had made a serious mistake.

In air combat, you must keep a close eye on the surrounding airspace and attack the target yourself, and at the same time, you can easily become the target of others.

Therefore, the main tactics used now are formations, when the pilot of the long plane attacks the target, the wingman must help the long plane to hold the airspace behind the aircraft to prevent the opponent from attacking.

But now, Varisi is only a solo attack mode, and in order to shoot down the traitors, he temporarily ignored the German planes, and as a result, he was attacked by the German planes.

Half of the tail was blown off, and in an instant Varisi felt that the fuselage was out of control, he steadied the lever hard, and the fighter flew swaying, he wanted to try to keep the balance of the plane, at this time, not to mention attacking the target, it would be good if he could fly back.

P-39 was like a wild horse on the loose, and Varisi's whole body trembled, and it was easy to control the plane, when the terrible sound of cannons sounded again behind him.

"Tom, tom!" The nose of the F190 fighter was bubbling with flames, and one by one 20-mm shells, after a short correction, flew towards the target again.

"Boom!" Unable to withstand another blow, the plane was suddenly blown up in the air, and it turned into a huge fireball, tumbling and falling downward.

A result!

Major Wiesenberg was overjoyed to finally take out one.

In front, the pursued fighter plane was still flying smoothly, as if it was waiting for Major Wiesenberg.

So, Major Wiesenberg slowly approached the P-39, and when the two planes were flying side by side, he could see the Soviet pilot on one side from the cockpit, and the other party also saw him, showing a flattering smile, so he shook his wings, stretched out his finger and pointed into the distance, and told the other party, fly with me!
