At this time, the roar of aircraft engines was heard in the air, and everyone looked up to see two groups of four monoplane fighters entering the landing turn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The quiz team is back."

Hearing the reminders of Arkhipov and Uncle Ivan, Lin Jun frowned slightly and carefully distinguished: his eyesight was very good, and he could judge from a distance that the two behind were Lag 7, and the two in front were obviously air-cooled engine fighters, but they were not any models produced in the Soviet Union.

"It's Fokker 190, the third production batch that was just seized and delivered last week."

Lin Jun turned his head and asked Arkhipov: "In the report, we only learned that the second batch appeared on the battlefield at the beginning of the year, and the speed was fast enough. ”

"Well, one was completely captured in Ukraine, and the German pilot was a rookie, and after encountering heavy rain, he was unlucky and the compass failed, so he actually landed the plane at our field airfield and sent the plane with people. The other was almost cobbled together from 190 of three forced landings in the area controlled by us, sent by the Belarusian side. ”

In line of sight, there were two beautiful lower monoplanes, with both landing gear and tail wheels retractable: as they turned to enter the field, Lin Jun saw through the binoculars sent by the guards that their landing gear and tail wheel were lowered.

"At the beginning, the Luftwaffe mainly used 190 to fight the British Air Force on the Western Front, and the British were caught off guard, and the Spitfires sent by the Arctic Ocean were not the latest batches produced by the British, and we used them to deal with 190 It is estimated that it is enough!"

"It's better than a hurricane, Vasily Afaevich, what the British were going to give us at the time of the negotiations was a hurricane, and what I suggested must be a fire-breathing one. The Hurricane is not the opponent of the 190 in terms of speed, climb rate or horizontal hovering performance, and even fighting with the 109 is out of disadvantage, and can only bully and bully the bomber, and the cruising speed is surprisingly slow, and the British are willing to give the Spitfire is already very generous. ”

Hearing about the Spitfire fighters offered by the British, Vasily Stalin said: "Marshal, general, we pilots down there don't like Spitfire. According to the reaction of the redressed troops, the rest is okay, and it can be on par against the 109G type, but the eight 7.7mm machine guns look spectacular when firing, and the actual effect is not flattering, especially against twin-engine aircraft. ”

"That's the reason why I'm so used to the Lager and Jacques series, the pursuit of large-caliber ammunition to kill the enemy in one hit, the Spitfire is still a very good fighter, provided that you can beat the opponent into a hornet's nest or be lucky enough to hit the target."

"Eight machine guns firing together, if you are in the target position, you will never feel better, than the pressure of three 23mm guns." Lin Jun reminded the young man: When the dense ballistics and tracer pop out around the cockpit, it is endless, and it is hairy to think about!

It is undeniable that the Spitfire is still one of the best fighters in the world at this time, depending on how the user uses it.

Four fighters landed from the other end of runway 2, landing at a distance of 190 that was obviously slightly longer than the lager 7, which landed later. The four planes taxied with their engines to the vicinity of Lin Jun and the others, and turned into the tarmac on the side through the connecting road.

The ground crew was already waiting there, and Lin Jun and the others walked over.

As soon as the test pilots got off the plane, they saw the deputy commander-in-chief and immediately saluted.

Lin Jun casually returned the salute and asked one of the leading majors, "How does it feel to manipulate?" ”

Just now, the major was the chief of the 190 twin planes, and his expression was a little excited, it was a pilot that Lin Jun had never seen in Zhukov before: "Report to the marshal, a model that is difficult to deal with, the maneuverability is very good, but the high-altitude performance is not very good." ”

The third batch of 190 is actually the Fw190A-3 type, equipped with an air-cooled double-row 14-cylinder engine, with a normal power of 1470 horsepower, and a full military power of up to 1760 horsepower, but it can not work for more than 1 minute when the throttle is fully opened, otherwise it will overheat.

At Lin Jun's request, four test pilots briefed him on the confrontation tests in the past few days, and Arkhipov also talked about some of the 190 confrontation tests of the Lag-5 and Yak series aircraft conducted a few days ago.

"Unlike the configuration of the second batch of 190 twin-gun twin machine guns that were originally encountered, the two 190s were armed with two machine guns and four aerial guns, two 7.92 mm MG-17 synchronous machine guns were located above the engine compartment, with a rate of fire of 800 rounds per minute and 750 rounds per machine gun.

Two MG-151 synchronous guns were mounted at the wing roots, and the shells were fired through the propellers. The rate of fire is 500 rounds per minute, and each gun has 250 rounds in reserve. There are also two MG-FF 20mm guns mounted on the wings, fired outside the diameter of the propellers, with a rate of fire of 520 rounds per minute, and 90 rounds per gun. ”

Ivan, who spoke, already had a detailed understanding of the structure of 190, such as a number of treasures.

"It's very dangerous to shoot it head-to-head." At this time Vasily's first feeling.

"Yes, Vasily. The weapons of the 190 can be fired in a salvo at the same time, or they can be fired separately in each group, and the fire is staggering by pressing the button on the steering stick to select fire. Like our new Lager 7, the Germans had an ammunition counter in the cockpit, and according to the confessions of the captured German pilots and our inspection, the batch of 190 could also be used as a fighter-bomber with a 250 kg bomb. ”

"As for protection, the pilots of the 190 were frontally protected by engines and 60 mm bulletproof glass, the oil radiator in the nose was made of 5 mm thick armor, and the rest of the nose was made of 3 mm armor. Of course, these two parts of the armor we can ignore in battle.

It has an 8 mm thick armoured seat in the cab that protects the pilot to the shoulder position, and a 5 mm thick armor plate on the fuselage section behind the seat, but the protective area does not include a groove on the seat to hold the parachute bag. The headrest of the seat was 12 mm armor, which protected the pilot's head and shoulders, while the pilot's sides and underneath were not armored.

The 190's two fuel tanks are located directly under the cockpit, starting from the rudder pedal position and working backwards, measuring 1.9 metres long and each with a capacity of 520 litres. After testing, its range is not large, and there are more than 800 kilometers at points. ”

Knowing that Vasily Stalin was fighting in the front-line troops, the major was also telling him about the opponents of this model: "Captain, this model of the 190 should not take the way of climbing and disengaging when encountering you on the front line, and its climb rate is almost worse than that of all our fighters and the tested Type 109G." ”

"Major, I shot down two 190s in Ukraine last month, I don't know which batch. At that time, I was driving the Rag 5 FN, and the first one was a rookie, and after being rear-ended by me, I tried to dive away, and after following the dive, I found that its dive speed was not as fast as the 109G.

The second one was a veteran, and he fought for nearly 10 minutes, and the horizontal right turn blossomed in space-time, but that time it was enough to hang, and I almost ran out of ammo. ”

Lin Jun, who was talking to several other pilots, heard the conversation between Vasily, turned his head and said, "What's the matter, the car said that one set was used in actual combat?" ”

"How can it! Marshal, I'll bully and bully rookies. ”

No one else could understand the meaning of the conversation between the two: when they came, they said that it was best not to do the same maneuver when the German fighter was diving, of course it was 109 - it was better not to do that when encountering an unfamiliar enemy fighter.

However, Lin Jun did not continue to talk to Vasily about this question, but continued to talk to several other pilots: As an excellent and experienced pilot, Vasily should be able to quickly distinguish whether his opponent is a veteran or a rookie in the air.

"Marshal, compared with the 109G type we flew, the level flight speed of the 190 at an altitude of 4,000 meters is about 20 to 30 kilometers per hour, and the aircraft is easier to control, especially the cockpit has a very good visibility, and of course the firepower is stronger."

The small visibility of the cockpit is a well-known weakness of the 109, and it is not unreasonable to be called the "blindest fighter": the cockpit is very small, the canopy is difficult to open in flight, and the armor on the head of the seat takes up a lot of space, which makes it extremely difficult for the pilot to see his back and down - the 109 pilot cannot see the aircraft attacking from the rear at all!

The test pilots are introduced by you and me sentence by sentence: Everyone is happy to show in front of the deputy commander-in-chief, and everyone in the air force knows that once the deputy commander talks about flying with the pilots, it is like he himself is an ordinary fighter pilot, and there is never any leadership spectrum. "But Marshal, we think that the 190 also has a lot of aspects that are inferior to the 109G.

For example, the climb rate is poor, the level flight speed is not good at an altitude of more than 4,500 meters, and the landing speed is also greater. The dive speed is even worse, there is no armor on the sides and underbelly yet.

After testing, we believe that the Yak series and La-5 fighters that are currently heavily equipped have all the necessary conditions to defeat the 190, and our fighters are almost as fast as it, with a better turn, climb rate, and powerful enough firepower, but it is not recommended to shoot head-on.

The comrades mechanics also gave a lot of advice: the 190 had a lot of vulnerable parts, and the positions directly in front of the pilot and above the rear were exposed to attacking fire. The fuel tank was not fully protected and was placed under the pilot.

Even the lube tanks and radiators in front of the engine compartment are fragile, and the engine fan speed is very high, and if the oil system and fan are hit, it is easy for the engine to overheat, catch fire or fail.

If our pilots bite their tails in an air battle, their weapon control circuits are completely unprotected behind the pilot's protective armor, and if damaged, they will not be able to fire. ”

"I just heard from Comrade Captain that he shot down a 190 that dived and broke away, and we were all on the front line, and the Germans sometimes used the tactic of flying upside down and diving away. If that were the case, it would be very advantageous for us, and all of its vulnerable parts would be exposed, including the fuel tank and the pilot. If it can hit the target at this time, even a few 7.62mm armor-piercing incendiary bombs can make it explode in the air. ”

Vasily ended the conversation with the test pilot of the lead major, and joined the discussion: "That German was a volley explosion. ”

"Under the attack of 23 mm shells and 12.7 mm armor-piercing shells, as long as you can hit the opponent, the effect will be basically the same." Lin Jun smiled, "Five years ago, we were used to attacking targets with long point shots, and at that time the 7.62mm machine gun was still the leading role, and now the pilots are slowly getting rid of the old habits, and the ammunition load of the aircraft gun is limited." ”

"It seems that comrades, we should remind the troops in front that if the opponent is 190, it is recommended that the opponent dive not follow the dive, and this can be changed."

"I think so, it can be modified." Arkhipov agreed.

"Arkhipov, how long will the study of 190 continue?"

Hearing Lin Jun's questioning, Arkhipov said: "At least two weeks, the test report will be continuously reported. However, because of the actual situation on the front line, the focus of our research is still on the 109 type, which accounts for the vast majority of the German fighters encountered on the front line, and according to the information of the front-line flight troops, the 109G type is actually a continuous small model. ”

"Last year, the German's 109 always fought us at an altitude of 2,500 to 3,500 meters, avoiding lower altitudes, and generally not flying higher, which made our MiG-1 almost useless.

Since the appearance of the Type 109G this year, various units have reported that the Germans have begun to engage in more high-altitude combat. Now, aerial combat can take place at any altitude below 8,000 meters, and now both sides have a clear understanding of the importance of altitude superiority, and over time, high-altitude combat will become more and more common. ”

Saying that, Lin Jun asked the test pilots: "If there is still any oil, I will use the lager with Comrade Captain to compete." ”

"Yes, Marshal!"

Svetlana, who had been waiting for a long time, was happy and trotted towards the wave 2.

After 20 minutes of aerial battle, the two 190 calls were almost out of fuel before landing. Lin Jun, who jumped out of the cockpit after landing, looked very happy: he served as the lager in the confrontation with 190 just now, and successfully bit the tail of 190 in the vertical confrontation several times, and only once was he at a disadvantage when hovering horizontally, and that disadvantage was immediately lifted by Vasily, who dived down from a high altitude.

"As a long machine, you can't get involved in a long fight, and you can only use a short "attack-pull-up" tactic. Vasily, your wingman did a very good job just now, and you will have to answer for your own wingman in the future. If the long plane attacks, the wingman generally does not follow, he can play a greater role at a higher altitude. ”

"Okay, comrades, thank you for your work, and thank you for accompanying us two uninvited guests."

Hearing the words of the deputy commander-in-chief, the test pilots all laughed, and the major, as the leader, said to Lin Jun: "Marshal, we have a small request, can you approve our transfer back to the front-line troops after the test flight of 190?" ”

"Is this still a small request? Your work is very important, I have no right to interfere, it is up to Comrade Arkhipov to decide. ”

At this time, several pilots were depressed: Finally, a few pilots with actual combat experience served as test pilots, and it was impossible for Comrade Dean to release them, at least not even this year.

"Let's go, comrades, hard work." Lin Jun motioned to leave, he was going to the academy office, where he would deal with the problems that needed to be solved today.
