Looking down at an altitude of 6,000 meters, everything on the ground becomes very small. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info looking into the distance, the rising sun in the east has shot out a golden red light, sprinkled on the desolate sand, giving people an illusion of gold everywhere.

"We're almost there, the weather is fine, there are almost no clouds, it seems to be a good weather for bombing." The voice of Colonel Lee May, commander of the 305th Bomber Wing of the United States, came over the headphones.

Major General Golovanov, commander of the 8th Long-Range Bombardment Division of the Soviet Red Air Force, glanced into the distance from the cabin of the Per-8 heavy bomber he was piloting, and then asked Ivanov, the navigator next to him: "Where are we now?" ”

"Comrade division commander, we have reached the territory of Iraq, and we will be able to reach the Kirkuk oil field in another 20 minutes."

"There are 20 minutes left, the enemy pilots will not sleep, and we will definitely have a fierce battle." As he spoke, Major General Golovanov raised one hand and tightened the cable ties of his canvas oxygen mask, and then adjusted the American radio on the plane.

"Comrades, I am Major General Golovanov, the commander-in-chief of the air raids, and I order you to be ready for battle!"

As if to verify how accurate his prediction was, his voice fell, and the voice of Colonel Li Mei, who was piloting the B-17 plane ahead of him, came from the earphones.

"Enemy planes spotted, enemy planes spotted! Get ready for battle! ”

It's finally here! Major General Golovanov heard the enemy plane coming, but instead exhaled softly. In fact, the enemy planes came later than he had imagined, and he had expected that as soon as the planes crossed the border between the Soviet Union and Iran, they would be intercepted by German night planes -- according to intelligence, the Germans had deployed radars on the Soviet-Iranian border, which could detect the intruding group of American and Soviet planes.

Moreover, it was the early hours of the morning when the sky was at its darkest. Among the fighters serving as escorts, the P-51 with excellent performance was a day aircraft, and the MiG-5, although it was a night combat model, was not equipped with a radar, and was not at all an opponent of the legendary German twin-engine night fighter (it was the He-219).

However, the Germans did not intercept them on the Soviet-Iranian border, but let the Soviet and American planes fly slowly for nearly two hours, all the way to Iraq.

It seems that the Luftwaffe is not as powerful as the legend says!

Major General Li Mei's shout came again: "Fighter! Nine o'clock! That's a lot! There are sixty, no, at least eighty! ”

Then I don't know who shouted in English again: "They're rushing!" 12 FW-190s, six o'clock position!. ”

"Block them, block them!"

Then Major General Golovanov heard the sound of machine-gun fire, apparently the American B-17 was firing.

Then came the voice of Colonel Li May: "General Golovanov, we are going to raise the altitude and lead the Germans' plane into the air, good luck to you." ”

What a Yankee who is afraid of death! Major General Golovanov almost didn't scold when he heard Li Mei's words. Pull Height...... Your B-17 and P-51 can fly very high, but our Soviet Pei-8 and MiG-5 can't fly high!

What else lured enemy planes into the air...... It is clear that he abandoned the Soviet allies and fled for his life, and the imperialists really could not believe it!

After cursing the American reactionary Li May in his heart, Major General Golovanov could only bite the bullet and order: "Comrades, keep in formation and rush with me!" Long live the Bolshevik Party! Long live the USSR! Long live the great leader Stalin! ”

While shouting hooray, Major General Golovanov reached out and touched his pistol - it was used to commit suicide! As a glorious member of the Bolshevik Party, you must never betray the motherland and the people!

And to be captured is a betrayal of the Soviet Fatherland!

Just when Major General Golovanov made up his mind to commit suicide and martyrdom once the plane was shot down, his navigator Ivanov suddenly shouted: "Comrade division commander, look, the Germans were really led away by the American plane!" ”

Really led away? So lucky? Major General Golovanov fixed his eyes and saw that there was indeed no FW-190 in front of him. He looked up again, and the picture he saw instantly made him feel his scalp tingle, and he saw that hundreds of fighters in the sky had been strangled together. The FW-190s were mingling with the P-51 Mustang escorting, tracer bullets flying around the sky like meteor showers, and occasionally planes exploded in the air or fell with thick smoke in tow.

Suddenly, there was a burst of English screams from among Major General Golovanov.

"God, we have enemy planes overhead!"

"It's a twin-engine heavy fighter...... It flies so fast! ”

"Oh God, I was hit...... 20mm, no, it's a 30mm shell! ”

"Hell, we're in ambush!"

It turns out that there is an ambush among the Americans! The Germans dispatched not only the high-altitude FW-190, but also the terrible He-219 - the He-219 could not deal with the P51, it was a twin-engine aircraft after all. But it has 4 20mm cannons and 2 30mm cannons! This firepower is enough to fight tanks, no matter how strong the B-17 is, can it compare with tanks? Of course, I can't help but beat it.

So when the staff of the German 4th Air Force found out that the incoming enemy aircraft were at an altitude of 6,000 meters, they guessed that it must be a mixture of B-17s and Soviet bombers that could not fly high (German intelligence already knew that a large number of B-17s had arrived in the Soviet Union). Therefore, it was decided to use 10 squadrons of 160 FW-190 fighters to drive the B-17 to a high altitude, and at the same time use 160 HE-219 of 10 squadrons to ambush at an extremely high altitude of 12,000 meters.

As a result, most of the American P51 fighters were busy blocking the FW-190, and only a few P51s were escorting the B-17 to pull up, and these B-17s had just climbed to 10,000 meters, and 160 He-219s carrying 6 machine guns rushed down and opened fire. In a very short period of time, dozens of B-17s were beaten into a sieve, tumbling and planted on the ground, and the losses were unimaginable!

Major General Golovanov suddenly saw as if there were hundreds of terrible German fighters in the sky slaughtering American bombers...... And these fighters seem to ignore the existence of Soviet planes and go to hit the Americans - do these Germans still remember the old love of comrades and brothers?

After thanking the German comrades in his heart, Major General Golovanov still did not dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, go at full speed, let's leave quickly!" Go to Kirkuk, drop the bomb and go! ”

The place where the air battle took place was actually very close to the Kirkuk oil field, so it didn't take long to fly, and clouds of scattered black smoke suddenly appeared in the sky, very dense, and it was the German anti-aircraft guns firing!

Thundered!

A 128mm shell exploded near the Pe-8 piloted by Rear Admiral Golovanov, and the huge air flow mixed with shrapnel rushed towards the plane, causing the fuselage of the huge four-engine heavy bomber to tremble a few times, and there were several more leaky holes in the fuselage and wings.

But fortunately, it didn't hurt anything. Just when Major General Golovanov was rejoicing, not far from his plane, a Per-8 plane had already been fired. Major General Golovanov found out that it was the plane of Major Nikonov, the captain of the group under him. Then he saw people jumping out of the doors of the plane that was on fire, and they opened their parachutes shortly after jumping out, apparently none of them wanted to be glorious revolutionary martyrs......

They betrayed the Motherland, betrayed the world revolution! Major General Golovanov was furious when he saw the white parachutes that were open one after another. That's Major Nikonov, a veteran party member for almost ten years, how could he not hold on to the enemy at the critical moment? Why didn't he fly the plane and crash it into an enemy target on the ground? Why can't he shoot himself? What a coward!

"Comrade division commander, the oil fields of the Germans have been discovered, and the target has been discovered!" The navigator Ivanov shouted again, "It's in the direction of 9 o'clock!" ”

It turned out that it was at the Kirkuk oil field, no wonder there were so many anti-aircraft guns! Major General Golovanov looked down and took a closer look, and he could already see countless pumping units on the ground set up on the sandy wasteland!

"Comrades, follow me, rush!" Major General Golovanov did not wait for the Americans who were being beaten, but directly pushed the throttle and rushed towards the wasteland full of pumping units, and flew over these pumping units in a short time.

"Bomb drop! Aim and drop the bomb! ”

"Got it!" The bombardier replied loudly, and at the same time aimed at the target on the ground with the bomb sight produced by the Soviet Union, and then flipped the bomb magazine opening switch, and when the green light was lit, he did not hesitate to put down the bomb throwing switch, and a metal friction sound sounded in the bomb magazine, and the plane instantly rose more than ten meters high.

"Everybody's belted! We're climbing! Rear Admiral Golovanov jerked the control stick of the Per-8, and the nose of the bomber immediately pulled up into the sky.

Boom Boom!

Then there was the pleasant sound of a bomb explosion, followed by a cheer.

"Ulla! Ulla! Major General Golovanov heard a lot of cheers from his headphones, "We are victorious, the German oil fields have been destroyed!" ”

He hurriedly turned his head to look at the ground, only to see dozens of hundreds of blue-black pillars of smoke rising straight into the sky, and he could vaguely see the flames churning.

That's probably what the oil fields look like when they're destroyed, right? Rear Admiral Golovanov thought to himself that the Germans had at least half destroyed the Kirkuk oil field, and now their armored forces and fleet would no longer have enough fuel, and the world revolution would be victorious!
