After entering the cruising altitude, Lin Jun turned on the intercom and began to chat with his wingman: "Eagle, I just found a problem. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

What problems can a marshal have?

The whole formation pricked up its ears and listened - too lazy to call Eagle 13, simply called.

"Eagle received, captain, you say."

You can't call the marshal in the sky, just learn the way of the division commander and shout.

"Dogmatism is unacceptable, even I didn't pay attention to it just now. Just now we should have let the transport plane take off first, instead of us climbing slowly with the Ry-2! ”

The cruising speed of the Li-2 is 240 km/h, the normal ascent rate is only 3~4 m/s, and the time required to climb to 3000 meters is 13 minutes and 12 seconds! At today's altitude of 3,500 meters, it has been more than 16 minutes!

And the Lager-7 fighter climbs to 5000 meters in less than 5 minutes!

Climbing too slowly not only does not save fuel, but also costs fuel!

"Captain, it was my negligence."

Hearing the words of Kori Dub in the headset, Lin Jun seemed to be back to the time when he was in Madrid, and even a little bit of nonsense in the intercom with the wingman of the "back then" Feisu 27.

Both Kori Dub and Lin Jun have already discovered what "dogmatism" is -- unlike covering bombers or ordinary transport planes, when escorting special planes for VIPs, fighter planes take off first to protect them, and fighter planes land later.

But this is obviously fuel-intensive, and it is still near Moscow, so it is completely unnecessary.

If the transport plane takes off for about 10 minutes before the fighter takes off, and then catches up and rendezvous at cruising altitude, it will save a lot of fuel and the pilots will be comfortable.

But before Lin Jun was used to having fighter planes take off first to escort him, and Kuori Dubu was also used to this kind of escort method, just now he was doing things according to his habitual thinking, and no one even raised objections at the airport, and as a result, a group of aces flew awkwardly.

"Forget it, I didn't find out, I'll have experience next time."

The 29 pilots, including the 6 pilots of the three Ry-2s, heard the marshal's words and didn't know what to say: this is the rhythm that will be done in the future!?

This kind of flight is extremely boring, slowly time-consuming, and chatting with each other every once in a while.

When the fuel in the auxiliary fuel tank is consumed, the auxiliary fuel tank will not be thrown away, and it can be used when taken to Kyiv.

After a long cruise, Lilia's voice came from the headset: "Attention formation, we are about to arrive at Airport 1 and are ready to descend altitude. ”

The No. 1 airfield she was talking about was not the original airfield near the city of Kyiv -- just now the plane formation had already crossed Kiev on the flank, which was the field airfield where the headquarters of the 1st Division was currently located, and it was only 50 or 60 kilometers away from the temporarily silent line of fire.

The fleet slowly lowered its altitude and was already in contact with the airport tower, and it would be ready to land in a few moments.

But at this moment, a call from the tower came from the headset: "Call the eagle, call the eagle, please do not land for now, we are under shelling!" Please change airports to land! ”

"What's going on?!"

Kozhdub and others have a question mark in their heads!

Before leaving the day before yesterday, the Germans were at least 60 kilometers away, where did the shelling come from?!

Don't be a tower shelling the Germans, right?

It stands to reason that there will be no such miscalculation!

Lin Jun also had the same question: he was on the phone with Sergei yesterday, except for a few German planes that appeared in Leng Buding, the others were quite peaceful.

Lilia was talking to the tower, but Lin Jun took out the aviation chartboard, which also had the latest situation of the two sides in the west of Kyiv.

"Lily, don't talk nonsense with the tower, it's really an artillery bombardment.

Now the formation is under my orders, and the No. 19 to 24 planes of the 5th and 6th detachments will go to the No. 2 airfield with the transport planes in formation, and the other planes will follow me to have a look. ”

"Captain, this is not good!" Koridub hurriedly said.

"What's wrong, I think there must be a German artillery observation machine over there, and it's not climbing yet!"

There was a commotion in the headphones, transport planes, towers, and fighter pilots.

Lin Jun didn't bother to listen, and directly broke away from the formation and began to climb.

Kozhdub and the others had no choice but to follow at the same time - but not 18, but 20, and only four fighters escorted the three turning Rio-2s.

Now it can be regarded as a shallow depth on its own side, even if there is no fighter escort, it is not surprising.

From the side, he saw the transport plane returning, and the 20 rags flew west while climbing, and soon Lin Jun saw the airfield - it seemed that there were only two smoke spots, and they were at least one or two hundred meters away from each other, and they did not hit the oil depot or any important target.

Closely observing the western airspace, after a while, the call of other pilots came from the headset: "Two more impact points, the caliber may be 200 mm heavy shells!" ”

"Probably the Germans' K5E train gun! I'm Captain Eagle, call Tower, Call Tower One! ”

This time, I didn't have the recklessness to call myself Andrei.

"The tower received, please speak."

"How long is the interval between shelling? How powerful are the shells? ”

"The interval is about 4 minutes, and the power is about 203 millimeters."

As soon as he heard it, Lin Jun had a score in his heart, "The tower, it should be the German's K5E train gun, and it uses a new type of extended-range shell, so the power is a little less."

You immediately contact the nearby airfield, send reconnaissance planes and dive bombers, and search the German-controlled area within a radius of 60 to 88 kilometers from the airfield, along the railway, where there should be two Germans long-range railway guns. ”

"The tower received it, contact immediately."

Because this batch of Lager-7 was the first batch of production models, it was almost the same as the test aircraft, but the radio station that the fighter factory equipped them with turned out to be an old model of small power in stock, which was originally used on the Yi-16.

It's enough to be used as a test, and even if you go to the battlefield, you can make do with it, so you don't pick a division.

The supply of the new radio station is tight, and the effective reception distance of the call signal sent by Lin Jun's formation is up to 50 kilometers, so what he just said is really not worried about being heard by the Germans.

As for the question of "Andrei": the battle line is about 60 kilometers away, but there may be German artillery observation and reconnaissance planes and covering fighters nearby -- there are very few German pilots who can speak in Russian, especially fighter and artillery observation units, but there are quite a few German pilots who can understand the phrase "I am Andrey" in Russian!

I don't know how many German fighter pilots are "training hard" with the phrase "I am Andrei", hoping to compete in the air with this crazy deputy commander of the Soviet Union!

If Marshal Plunyakov of the Soviet Union was shot down, rumors were circulating within the Luftwaffe: the top would even directly award its pilot a "Silver Oak Leaf Knight's Iron Cross"!

Even if it's a rookie pilot, give it! (To be continued.) )
