Chapter 167: Teasing Like This (Added 5)
"035 Roger." After receiving the order, Merritt immediately pushed the lever, and the fighter left his formation with a skillful roll, and at the same time the throttle was fully opened, accelerating towards the opposite side.
With this move, he envied the pilots of the Yak-1 fleet who were following at an altitude of 10,000 meters below, and at this altitude, they only dared to fly level, and any maneuver with a large overload could cause a terrible stall and threaten their safety.
Look at the fighter jets of the Germans, how did they do it? It's simply an all-airspace fighter! At an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, it is still so flexible!
The air-cooled engine in front bursts out with more than 2,000 horsepower, and the two-stage supercharger continuously blows fresh air into the cylinder, and the injector injects fuel, ignites, and finally transforms into powerful power.
In later generations, until the 21st century, the engine with direct injection in the cylinder was the focus of the propaganda of automobile manufacturers, and during World War II, the German fighter engine had already achieved direct injection in the cylinder in order to have a high compression ratio.
Precisely because there is no carburetor, they can easily dive and then pull up, flying all sorts of negative G maneuvers, while the opposing fighter is not.
Now, the two F190 fighters flew towards the opposite side, and the bright spots in the distant sky gradually showed their outlines, and the other party was actually at the same height as themselves!
"The opponent is flying at an altitude of 12,000 and is flying towards us at a rapid pace, four fighters, in a diamond-shaped formation. The visual model is similar to the Yak-1, but the Yak-1 cannot fly this high. Merritt was constantly reporting to the rear on the radio.
At the same time, the MiG-1 fleet opposite, also spotted them.
"F190 fighters, two, are approaching us." Pokryshkin shouted over the radio: "Shake the wings and show them who we are." ”
They're here to escort, not to fight, so now they have to show their goodwill.
Pokryshkin slowly pushed the lever, the wings began to shake, and his movements were incomparably soft.
In general, Soviet pilots were quite rough and preferred brutal maneuvers, but it was absolutely not appropriate to fly such an aircraft, because it could get out of control at any moment!
The MiG-1 is definitely not a full-fledged aircraft, in history, only more than 100 of them have been produced, and after being equipped to the troops, they are almost all experimental in nature.
Pokryshkin's plane, shaking its wings to show its goodwill, followed him, and the rest of the planes followed suit.
"The Soviets are flapping their wings, they're saluting us, and we're going to say hello to them." Merritt said excitedly.
"035, pay attention to discipline." Heinz's command came from the headset again, so Merritt could only shake his wings in the same way, but how could he show his respect just by shaking his wings?
At this time, the two sides were still approaching rapidly, and Merritt suddenly had an idea in his heart.
They had been away from their fleet for some time due to the acceleration they had just made, and since the Soviets had not yet turned, they should continue to fly with the Soviets now.
Then, you need to make a dashing turn!
"036, follow me." As the leader of his own team, Merritt has such power, he looked at his field of vision, the Soviets' plane was getting closer and closer, closer and closer, and just when he could already see the pilot in the cockpit of the other party, Merritt suddenly used both hands and hugged his operating stick behind him.
Like the BF109, the F190's lever is a bit heavy, and when he has to do a big overload maneuver, he even has to use his whole body strength, especially now.
So, in front of the eyes of all the Soviets, the two planes that came to meet them suddenly climbed vertically!
Their heads slowly lifted, and as they watched the climb of these two German fighters, their eyes were filled with envy.
Envy what? Now it's above 10,000 meters! At this altitude, their planes had little maneuverability, and intercepting bombers was possible, but it was impossible to engage with nimble fighters.
And now, the fighters of the Germans, at such altitudes, can continue to fly flexibly and make all sorts of maneuvers, which is simply too perverted.
Yes, the German fighters, the air-cooled engine in front is quite strong, and under the action of the two-stage supercharger, the maximum power can even burst out to 2400 horsepower, which is twice as much as the Soviet fighter!
This excellent motivation is the premise to support them to do various maneuvers.
They could only watch as they watched each other continue to climb higher, and then, their necks were thrown back to their backs.
At the same time as the German fighters were climbing, they were also moving forward, so they crossed the German fighters and rushed to the front.
They couldn't see it anymore, and they didn't have the heart to continue watching the performance of these two fighters, so they continued to fly forward for a while, and it was time to join up with the German fleet and then escort the aircraft.
Especially Pokryshkin, he had to mentally calculate in his mind which airspace in front of him to start turning, and then accelerate again, just in perfect conjunction with the German fleet and enter the escort mission.
Your fighter must pass through a radius of two kilometers, which is a bit large, so you must prepare as soon as possible.
He would never have noticed that at this time, the two fighters that the Germans pulled up and climbed upside down, after climbing five hundred meters in the air, turned upside down.
Thrilling or not, stinging or exciting?
At this time, for Merritt, with the earth above his head and the sky under his feet, the muscles on his face were also stretched from the overload just now, and he looked at the group of Soviets below him, slowly approaching, and getting closer.
The propeller was spinning rapidly, driving the F190, approaching the top of the Soviets' plane, at this time, looking down from his cockpit, Merritt could clearly see the inside of the Soviets' cockpit, the shoddy operating lever, the exhaust gas exhaled by the oxygen mask, but unfortunately there was no camera at this time, otherwise taking a photo would be the most pleasing to the eye.
The sky above you seems to have suddenly darkened? At this height, there are no clouds anymore! Pokryshkin habitually raised his head, glanced at the top of his head, and then he could no longer control his anger.
These damned Germans are actually teasing themselves like this! It's like a cat and a mouse, but unfortunately, you are the role of the mouse!
He suddenly didn't have any thoughts, and the flying he had always loved now seemed to make him uninterested.
