Chapter 641: Heroes of Air Combat (Medium)
After intersecting with the British military group, Major Hermann Goering, who wore the Order of the Red Eagle of the Second Class on his neck, slammed the joystick with his right hand, turned the flap control wheel counterclockwise with his left hand, and lightly pressed the rudder pedal with his left foot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Major Goering, with his feet up and head down, calmly swung the joystick to the right, and adjusted the flaps and rudder synchronously, and in the blink of an eye, the Fokker G-51 rolled sideways 180 degrees, and Huo Ran changed to a small-angle dive. At this time, the figure of the British aircraft group once again entered Goering's field of vision, their formation has dispersed, but all the fighters are still a whole, they collectively adopt the tactical maneuver of turning right and pulling up, ready to pull up and exchange fire with the opponent again.
Turning back with superb aerial maneuvers, Goering's fighter had already seized the advantage in the tactical position, and he made a slight adjustment to put the British fighter into his shooting sight, but the distance between the two sides was a little farther, and it was difficult to ensure the hit when firing at this moment, Major Goering quickly glanced in the rearview mirror, and the wingman followed closely behind, which made him feel at ease and boldly intercept the inside line. With the help of the dive, the Fokker G-51 became faster and faster, and Goering did not distract himself from the readings on the speedometer, but focused on the target in front of him. Finding that the German fighters had killed the rifles with lightning speed, the British pilots hurriedly adjusted their flight routes so as not to become targets for their opponents. At this moment, the gap between individual thinking reaction and flying skills is reflected. Goering quickly stared at a slowly pulling up British fighter plane, the British Air Force's Mountain Eagle, a new fighter that it claimed to rival the Fokker G-51.
The British pilots were not necessarily sluggish, but they were too rigid in front of the old birds. Goering and his Fokker G-51 approached less than 100 meters from the target with lightning speed, and when he pressed the fire button, he clearly felt a pair of eyes full of fear in the cockpit opposite.
The experienced Major Goering did not leave the opponent with any chance of escaping, four up 7. The 92 mm aviation machine gun smashed the "Mountain Eagle" into a sieve with a long shot.
In this dangerous battlefield, the joy of shooting down the enemy plane did not make the German ace pilot get carried away, and he easily avoided the falling British fighter, he turned his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he immediately sensed the approaching threat -- a "Mountain Eagle" attacked from his right rear, and had already seized a favorable position for attack.
It was too late to say that the wingman pilot's warning immediately came from the headset: "Major, watch out for your right rear!" ”
"Roger." Major Goering responded in the most concise words, and at the same time used his hands and feet to adjust the flight state at a pace that his brain could not keep up with, and the Fokker G-51 slammed its head down like a dive, and made a rapid dive at a thirty-degree angle.
The British fighter plane behind him was clenched, and the distance between the two sides was very close, and the visual inspection was only about 200 meters, so after both turned into a dive, the "Mountain Eagle" immediately opened fire, and four tongues of fire jumped from the wing root and the middle of the wing.
Relying on the judgment and grasp of the fighter plane, Major Goering had already swung the control stick sharply before the "Mountain Eagle" opened fire, and made two consecutive rolls with the help of the air combat flaps, which directly reduced the dive speed of the plane and could cause the plane to lose control if he was not careful, but properly avoided the opponent's attack.
As soon as the British pilot hesitated, the old Hermann Goering slipped out of his scope with a sharp horizontal turn -- even leaving his effective field of vision, and the British pilot, who had thought he was about to succeed, felt like he had stepped on the stairs and chuckled.
As the Doom movement approached, Goering's wingman pilots followed closely behind, taking advantage of the steady trajectory of the "Mountain Eagle" to turn and thus expose the wide positive cross-section, and he lost no time in firing, four 7. The 92mm aviation machine gun spat out four deadly tongues of fire, and the rain of bullets that exploded instantly smashed the wings, fuselage skin, and cockpit canopy of the British fighter to pieces!
Goering was not distracted from admiring the wingman's victory, for the airspace was full of whizzing warplanes and strings of bullets with tracer bullets, and the danger was so pervasive that there was no room for a moment's negligence.
"Who's going to help me, I've been bitten by a difficult guy and can't get out! Oh, I just got hit a little bit! ”
A familiar voice came from the untimely radio channel, and Goering climbed as he flew the plane, looking around, where dozens of warplanes were shuttling and fighting each other, how could they find the person they were looking for?
Just a few seconds later, the voice came out of the headphones again: "Damn, my wing was hit, the plane is getting out of control, I'm going to skydive!" ”
Before he could even say the last good luck sentence, the voice in the radio channel stopped abruptly, and a silence followed.
Climbing back to the heights of the battlefield, Goering quickly set his sights on a "gladiator" who was looking for a fighter, which was considered a first-class model in the mid-to-late 20s, and quickly fell behind with the emergence of a number of new monoplane fighters such as the Fokker G-51, the Mountain Eagle, and the ME-50. In the previous day's bombing of Limerick by the British, the 26th Hunting Squadron had shot down four Gladiators, and there were no casualties in the process.
Like a bird of prey spotting a pigeon, Goering flew straight at his Fokker G-51, aiming and radio to his pilots: "Air combat knights of the 26th Hunting Squadron, hold your mind, there is no strong or weak battle in front of you, do not despise any enemy, they have the ability to shoot you down, aim at one ...... Next ......"
Speaking of which, Goering's thumb pressed the firing button, and he again attacked the target with the long fire of four aviation machine guns, and the deviation of the aiming was quickly compensated for by the adjustment of the course, forming an arc of bullet belts and finally hitting the enemy plane, the fabric skin was easily torn apart, how could a bird with a boneless bird fly?
"The Major just got another fight! Today's second one. ”
Goering's wingman said this on the communication channel, and the news caused a small jump, but in an instant, the wingman's tone became unusually fast: "Major watch out for you!" ”
A "gladiator" came out from the diagonal rear, and it was a long shot at Goering's plane, and a series of bullets flew past the wings of the Fokker G-51, and several of them hit the back of the cockpit, which immediately aroused sporadic sparks, and Major Goering, who must have heard the abnormal noise, had been shocked into a cold sweat.
Goering's voice trembled when he reappeared in the communication channel: "Karl, I'll lead it to climb up with me, and then shake it off, you kick its ass from behind, and I'll cover your ass!" ”
The light-hearted joke didn't get any response, as the hunting squadron's radio frequencies were once again interfered with, and there was a rustle in the headphones. In such a situation, Goering secretly cursed the so-called radio experts of Siemens, who swore that the communication equipment they had developed had a good ability to resist jamming, and would not be as ineffective as in the previous war. As soon as the plane approached British airspace, radio communications became very nervous, and the coalition fighters who had folded their wings in British airspace the day before had not suffered much of them!
Fortunately, the training and exercises of such a veteran unit as the 26th Hunting Squadron are carried out according to the strictest standards, and the pilots have long been familiar with all kinds of basic tactics.
Once the powerful Fokker G-51 was pulled up, the "Gladiator", which was known for its grappling ability, and a pair of wings could not keep up, and the British pilots pursued the target with all their might, ignoring the deadly threat hiding behind them.
The veterans of the hunting squadron will not let go of such an opportunity. In the blink of an eye, Goering's wingman was also opened, and it had been less than five minutes since the battle began.
The joy was still fermenting, and the convulsive communication channel had a voice again, not very clear, but it could barely make out the content.
"Sir, low-altitude position...... Our bombers...... The British fighters rushed down, but did not see our escort planes! ”
Goering glanced downward, high, medium, and low altitudes, full of fighters chasing each other, the speed of the planes and the three-dimensional space created this kind of battlefield with unprecedented divergence, and through the confusion, he quickly captured the picture reported by his subordinates: a large group of single-engine biplane bombers with the Iron Cross logo flying from west to east in a striking V-shaped formation, as if to support the landing force in Abersoch, their beautiful formation was scattered by the impact of British fighters. Aesthetics are insignificant, and the point is that these light bombers have little ability to fight back against enemy fighters.
Before leaving, the superiors had already given clear instructions for the combat mission of the 26th Hunting Squadron, so Hermann Goering did not hesitate to order: "All the attention of the 26th Hunting Squadron, there are our bombers in the low altitude position, they are being attacked by British fighters, we will rush down and take out these pesky coyotes, and then come up to clean up the enemy here." Repeat, deal with the enemy fighters attacking our bombers below, and then clean up the enemies above! ”
There are only a few voices in the headphones that report "received", maybe someone didn't receive the command because of the radio signal, maybe someone received the command but the response was swallowed up by the interfering radio waves. Hermann Goering was a loose and bombastic guy by nature, but also a man of perseverance and determination, even if there was an easier target not far ahead, he did not hesitate, the throttle valve was opened to the maximum, the air combat flaps were retracted, the rudder was flattened, and the solid Fokker G-51 began to rush towards his prey like an osprey.
