The engines on both sides were rumbling, and the HS129 was quickly pulled up from the low sky, but because of the altitude difference, its altitude was still not as good as that of the I-16, and at this time, the I-16 group had already rushed up like hungry wolves.

Khlobestov pushed the lever, his fighter plane was already aiming at an aircraft in a downward dive, and then he pressed his cannon button.

"Tom, tom!" The 20-mm cannon fired a few shells, but unfortunately, at this moment, the opponent suddenly turned around and left the channel of the cannon, and all the shells were empty.

Khlobystov's brows suddenly frowned, and the other side's turn was carried out too fast, indicating that this kind of ground attack aircraft also has high maneuverability, even higher than theirs.

Next, you have to attack carefully.

Khlobystov and the other side are getting closer and closer, and suddenly, as soon as the nose of the opponent is raised, and with it, the cannon under the nose is fired.

"Tom tom!" Three shots, three 40-round shells, were fired at the I-16, and Khlobestov hurriedly pressed the lever and kicked the rudder to dodge.

The two sides passed by.

After passing over, Khlobystov quickly changed direction, his body pressed tightly against the chair due to the overload, and he had to go around the back of the opponent and shoot them down at a chance.

As he turned, he twisted his head vigorously behind his back to see what the German plane that had just passed him was doing.

The other party is actually turning, with the same purpose as him, and what is even more terrifying is that the other party is turning faster than him.

Who could believe that this kind of twin-engine attack aircraft could fly so quickly, Khlobystov secretly screamed in his heart, he knew that he could no longer steer, he pulled the control lever, and the fighter began to climb upwards.

The engine of the I-16 is less than 800 horsepower, but at the same time its own weight is less than two tons, and now the engine is running at full speed, pulling the plane to climb upward, and then diving down until it climbs to a certain height, and the opponent's attack aircraft will definitely not be able to catch up.

Khlobestov had already noticed that his opponent's horizontal maneuverability was good, so he immediately used maneuvering in the vertical plane to engage the opponent.

But he didn't know that if he maneuvered vertically with HS129, it would be even more dead.

Vertical maneuvering, that needs is the power of the engine, two engines, always better than one engine.

Behind him, Ensign Hans also pulled the lever and climbed with him.

When it goes up, it is the speed that is converted into the height, and as long as the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine cannot reach 1, it will always lose speed.

Whoever drops to 0 first, who must turn into a dive, otherwise it will definitely be a stall tailspin, in fact, many planes have to dive down if they don't decelerate to 0 at all.

Now, Ensign Hans continued to follow the opponent, watching the opponent get higher and lower, and then, when the opponent pushed the lever and prepared to dive down, the opponent's plane in the sight grew rapidly, and the moment with the largest projection area was the opportunity for him to fire.

"Tom tom!" HS129 fired, a shell, hit the wing of the I-16, instantly, under the great energy, half of the wing tore apart, and then, the broken part, began to ignite the flames.

The mission of this sortie is to attack the Soviet tank forces, so the main weapon of HS129 is this 40 mm Bofors cannon, and it is full of armor-piercing shells, only a few rounds at intervals will be mixed with an armor-piercing incendiary bomb, and in air combat, the most needed is grenades.

If it was a grenade in the past, it could blow up the opponent's entire wing with one shot, instead of now, it pierced a big hole, and then the wing broke because it couldn't withstand the tension, but fortunately it was an armor-piercing incendiary bomb, which made the opponent's wing burn.

One Shot Down Result! Ensign Hans thought in his heart, and at this moment, he saw that the trajectory of the other party's fall was unusual.

In the cockpit, Khlobystov's eyes were full of war intent, his plane broke off half of the wing, it was already out of control, he was still pushing the control stick with all his strength, at this time, the German plane, right in front of him, aimed at him and smashed him, he must be smashed down!

This guy, it must have been on purpose!

Ensign Hans hurriedly pushed the control stick, and his attack plane, almost passing by the falling plane, was almost hit by the other party.

These stubborn Soviets.

Calming down, Ensign Hans pushed the lever and continued to chase another Soviet plane.

At this time, the air battle that broke out on the battlefield also attracted the attention of many people.

On the one hand, there are already slightly old fighters, and on the other hand, the latest attack aircraft, and the two are entangled in the sky, constantly with tongues of fire coming out of planes, and some rolling down from the sky.

In the big picture, the German attack aircraft have an advantage, because they have a strong ability to resist strikes, even if they are hit by Soviet aircraft, they are unharmed many times, but their 40mm cannons, as long as they hit the opponent's cannon, the opponent will completely lose their combat capability.

However, such actions of the Soviet Air Force prevented the ground attack of these attack aircraft, and now the battle in the sky is secondary, and the battle on the ground is the main one.

Felix observed the battlefield with a telescope, his main tank, had been surrounded by the Soviets, and the two sides were constantly maneuvering and fighting on the vast plains, just on the bank of the river, playing the movement of tank crews.

"How did the Air Force do it, where are the escort fighters? Now, who is going to support our tanks? Felix asked with dark eyes.

The battle in the air will not end instantly, and even if it is over, those attack planes should go back, they only have a hundred shells in their cannons, and it is estimated that they are almost finished, and they have to go back and replenish new ammunition.

It really didn't go well today.

The staff officer beside Felix said: "Division commander, our fighter is coming, and it is expected to reach us in twenty minutes." ”

Twenty minutes, when they arrived, their own tank troops did not know how many artillery shots had been hit, and Felix's face was anxious.

What now, do you want to draw some tanks from the encirclement here? No, the Soviets in the encirclement are also ready to break through.

So what to do?

At this time, the tank soldiers inside the battlefield did not have so many worries, there were Soviet tanks all around, and they just had to fight.

They were close enough to the Soviets' second line of tank attack, and the turrets were still twisted back to open fire on the most threatening Soviet heavy tanks.
