Before taking off at the airport, Lin Jun checked the situation on the right wing of his plane: there were two rows of 18 bullet holes, and the wings were pierced from top to bottom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's not one row in the air, but two rows with 36 holes up and down!

When Lin Jun and Herman fired at each other for the last time, the two sides almost hit their opponents at a distance of more than 100 meters! The penetration of the 7.92x57mm Mauser bullets fired by the two MG17 7.92mm aviation machine guns of the 109 fighter had extremely strong penetrating power at this distance!

If you use an SS heavy-tipped armor-piercing projectile, it can penetrate at least 11 mm or more of homogeneous rigid armor!

And on the 109 fighter, the Germans often used heavy-pointed armor-piercing shells and SmKL'spur armor-piercing tracer shells for the MG17 on the upper edge of the two engines.

Fortunately, I didn't get hit in the cockpit or the engine at close range, otherwise even an ordinary heavy bullet of 7.92 mm caliber would have caused big trouble.

I am flying a "wooden plane", not the Yankees' B17 and the Pi 8 on my side, and it will be finished if I hit the vital point! But fortunately, it was the wing that was hit.

"Marshal, we checked it, the rubber lining of the self-sealing tank is very good, and the bullet holes of the tank are completely sealed."

Seeing Lin Jun inspect the wing of his landline, a mechanic hurriedly came up to explain: the row of bullet holes on the inside had penetrated the wing fuel tank.

The Lager 7 is not the Japanese Zero, and in order to reduce weight, increase range and flexibility, a "naked" non-self-sealing fuel tank is used, and the result is often a little bit.

Fortunately, Herman's 20-mm axle gun was out of ammunition! Otherwise, if three or four 20-mm shells were hit in the middle of the two rows of small bullet holes, the detonation shells with a super high charge coefficient of the Germans would definitely be able to tear off their own wings!

Looking at the situation of the wings, Lin Jun was still a little happy in his heart.

And his tactics at that time were completely correct, and he basically ran out of ammunition after shooting down Herman's landline, otherwise he would really take the initiative to retreat.

If the Lager 7 wants to withdraw after hedging, the 109F4 will not be able to chase after turning a corner at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters.

As for Herman, he was not so lucky: the Lager 7 has three NS-23 23mm guns, and the 175-gram OZT high-explosive incendiary tracer projectile used with this type of aircraft gun is only 690 m/s, and the 200-gram BZ armor-piercing incendiary bomb has only a muzzle velocity of 610 m/s.

In fact, Herman's luck is not the worst, if the shell fired by Lin Jun's landline at that time hit the position near the cockpit of 109, the 23mm OZT high-explosive incendiary tracer bullet with thick bullet wall and low explosive-charge coefficient will produce a lot of shrapnel with huge lethality, and it is estimated that the captain will be cut into a broken sack by shrapnel!

For technical reasons, the Germans' aerial artillery shells contain a lot of explosives, which will shine into a "detonation" effect, which can effectively destroy the body mechanism of a huge bomber, and of course the same is true for fighters.

The threats faced were different, and so far the British had no shortage of bulky four-engine bombers.

After a while, the Germans will find themselves thinking in such a way that the solid B17 and B24 come to mind.

The Soviet aircraft artillery shells were relatively small because of the explosive-charge loading, but because of the large thickness of the bullet wall, there were more effective shrapnel. For the time being, the existing models of artillery shells have average damage to the fuselage mechanism of large four-shot bombers, but their lethality to people and engines is strong enough.

Just like Lin Jun's time when he killed 13 German planes at once, because of his first-class shooting skills, he could hit the opponent's cockpit or engine with a short shot, and solve the opponent cleanly.

Soviet pilots with poor shooting skills were also not a big problem, who called the Germans to develop the air force in front of the idea is too distinctive, there are not many four-engine heavy bombers at all, and the engines of the existing models are not very reliable.

The mechanic here felt that he still needed to remind the marshal, and said: "But marshal, you'd better change the plane, the fuel tank is okay for the time being, but the surface strength of the wing has an impact, we originally planned to completely disassemble it to see, for fear that the structure inside will be damaged." ”

Listening to people's advice to eat a full meal, Lin Junke remembers this old Chinese saying clearly, so let's change it.

Aircraft with hidden dangers cannot be handed over to other pilots, and many unnecessary losses in the troops occur inadvertently due to accidental negligence.

Lin Jun would not make this mistake.

So what to do?

Pokryshkin took the initiative to jump out: "Marshal, you use my plane, this Lag 7 and so on are repaired, I will let people fly over for you, and my one will be returned to me at that time." ”

Lin Jun has no opinion, anyway, Comrade Regiment Commander will definitely not lack landlines at his own airport.

The Lag-5 is the Lag-5, and the FN type itself is familiar with, and according to convention, Pokryshkin's landline should also be one of the best among all the Lag-5FN fighters in the regiment.

After the formation takes off, this is interesting, a Lag 5FN is followed by seven Lag 7, fortunately there is not much difference in performance, and there are not many problems with formation flight.

"How do we feel a little bit of being escorted?"

Joked in my heart.

However, the landline of the Flying Wave Kryshkin felt good: there was not much difference in the figures of the two, and the plane was very well tuned and maintained.

In particular, the dense red five-pointed star downing mark on the side of the plane is even more conspicuous, there are already more than 100 of them, and it will take some time to count them once!

"It's a bit of a super ace!" Thinking about it, I laughed: I also seem to be a real super trump card, but I can't seem to remember what my record is.

Fighter pilots to their own record? This is a fantasy, but Lin Jun really forgot: it's been many years, and his shooting down record is very mixed, basically in Spain and China, how many are there?

Just thinking about it here, there was a call from Kori Dub in the headset: "At ten o'clock, the altitude is 3000, the distance is 5 kilometers, and about eight single-engine fighters are approaching at high speed, it may be enemy aircraft!"

Lin Jun took a closer look, there was a low-to-medium cloud layer, and seven or eight planes had just come out of it.
