"Brigadier General, the Germans' bomber group is descending, and now it has fallen to a height of 6000 meters......"

"Damn! They're about to launch missiles......" Richard Brown, who was on board an F-13 radar AWACS aircraft. Brigadier Major was already a little confused at this time, although he was an ace pilot of the Royal Air Force, and he also had a little talent for air combat command, he once performed well in the battle on the blockade line between the Novoskersjö Peninsula and Bermuda, commanded the interceptor group to fight many beautiful ambush battles, and shot down and damaged more than a dozen Me264 bombers.

It is precisely because of these outstanding achievements that he rose to prominence in the Eastern Canadian Theater, was promoted to brigadier general, and became recognized as the best air commander.

But this recognized genius of air combat command did not command a truly brutal air battle, and the previous battles on the Nova Skessa Peninsula-Bermuda blockade were all small-scale air battles, mainly search, ambush and pursuit, and as an opponent, the Me264 was a high-altitude high-speed bomber, only the ability to dodge and run, and it was not good to fight at all.

But today, Brigadier Major encountered a real large-scale air battle! And the opponent was still prepared, dispatching not only ace fighters such as the Me262T and Fokker 636, but also ace air combat commanders such as Molders and Hirschman Jr.

Compared to Molders and Hersman Jr., Brigadier Major is far from the standard. Until now, he didn't even know that the real target of the enemy was not a big American city like New York or Boston, but his fighter planes!

So when Molders commanded the Me264 fleet to lower altitude, Charles. Brigadier General Major subconsciously thought of missile launches - after many previous battles, the Allied air forces in eastern Canada found that the Me264 air-launched missiles were all between 3,000 and 5,000 meters high.

This seems to indicate that the Germans also have altitude restrictions on air-launched missiles, and aircraft must be between 3,000 and 5,000 meters before they can launch missiles. And preventing the Me264 group from launching missiles is the main task of Brigadier General Major. So he didn't think much about it, and immediately threw himself into his reserves, 139 "Sky" high-altitude twin-engine fighters of the Royal Air Force of Great Britain (Canada).

The "Firmament" fighters, which were originally hovering at an altitude of 10,000 meters, rushed in the direction of the Me264 group under the command of the F-13 early warning aircraft. And as soon as the "firmament" group moved, Major General Models, who was flying on an early warning aircraft of the Me264 modification dozens of kilometers away, knew about it.

"Major General, the radar has detected a new American fleet of aircraft, more than 100 in number, 9000 at altitude, still falling, and is currently about 30000 meters away from the Thor cluster."

"A new fleet? It's ......"

Molders was also taken aback. It turned out that these more than 100 "firmament" fighters flew too high and kept hiding above 11,000 meters, so the German Me264H (belonging to the Air Force) and Bv138E (belonging to the Naval Aviation) two early warning planes in the air were not discovered -- the Me264H installed the early warning radar on the belly of the aircraft, and the Bv138E installed the early warning radar on the nose of the aircraft. The Bv138E can also search upwards, while the Me264H simply can't. The Me264H that Moldes flew on was only 10,500 meters, so it was "invisible" to the Sky aircraft above 11,000 meters. Fortunately, these "sky" planes did not find the lone Me264H radar early warning aircraft (because Brigadier General Major's early warning aircraft also flew only 10,000 meters, and he did not find Moders's early warning aircraft), otherwise Molders's life would not have been saved.

"Major General, their dive speed is fast, more than 700 km / h." The electronic officer on board the Me264H AWACS aircraft continues to report the latest detection results.

Moldus's reaction was also very fast, and as soon as the electronic officer's voice fell, he had already made a decision. He immediately contacted the M264 group that was descending altitude through the high-power radio on the plane.

"Thor 1, I'm Electronic Eye 11." He commanded in code, "Throw away the spear, go down to the second floor, fly towards point F, and join the electric fan." ”

"Throw away the spear" means to throw away the Grim Reaper cruise missiles that are carried! This order threw away more than 10 million European marks!

"Down to 2 floors" lowers the altitude to 2,000 meters, which is too low for any fighter that can pounce from an extremely high altitude of more than 10,500 meters. However, it is the best altitude for the "king of medium and low altitudes" Fokker 636.

The "F-spot" and "electric fan" represent a location close to the Fokker 636 fleet and the Fokker 636 fleet itself.

Moldus's plan was to get the Me264 group to drop the missiles and then accelerate to the flight in order to attract the pursuing American high-altitude fighters to the muzzle of the Fokker 636 fighters who were chasing the F7F at medium and low altitudes.

After giving the order to the bomber group codenamed "Thor", Molders gave an order to Hesman Jr., today's deputy commander in chief of air combat and in charge of all carrier-based fighters, to command the Fokker 636 to deal with the group of American fighters (actually the British "sky") aiming at the "Thor" group.

When he received the order, Little Hesman was holding a telescope and observing the battle in the air thirty or forty kilometers away. The battle is coming to an end, and the bulky F7F is no match for the Fokker 636 at medium and low altitudes, although it has strong firepower, it is always bitten and beaten by the Fokker 636, and there is very little chance to fire, just relying on the sturdy fuselage to carry the Fokker 636's 4 20mm cannons. However, no matter how strong the fuselage is, it can't withstand the hard beating of the 20mm cannon. In just 10 minutes, the Americans' F7F fleet has been completely defeated, and the original large fleet of 138 planes is now only 30 or 40 flying, and most of them are wounded, and they have to flee in all directions.

According to the statistics of the US Naval Aviation after this big air battle, out of a total of 138 F7Fs dispatched, more than 95 did not return home! Of the 43 F7Fs that returned home, about half were damaged to varying degrees!

"Attention all the electric fans," Hirschman Jr. turned on the radio, "I'm Hawkeye, stop the chase immediately, and all fly to point F, ready to pick up Thor...... There are also more than 100 enemy aircraft, all of which are high-altitude models! ”

The "Firmament" fighter is, of course, an excellent heavy fighter, and its high-altitude performance is still above the F7F, but at an altitude of 2000-3000 meters, not to mention the "king of medium and low altitudes" Fokker 636, even the flight performance of the Me264 with dropped bombs / missiles is not worse than it. At least in terms of speed, it flies no slower than the "firmament"!

Therefore, it is impossible to catch up with the lightly loaded Me264 with the "firmament", especially the Me264H early warning aircraft at an altitude of 10,000 meters to guide them in the direction of escape. However, it was possible to force the Me264 bombers to drop their missiles, and these "sky" aircraft could be considered to have completed the task. If Brigadier General Major, who was on board the F-13, noticed that the Me264 group was trying to converge with the Fokker group, he should immediately order the Sky group to retreat. However, by this time, Brigadier General Major's attention had been completely absorbed by the battle between P-47 and Me262 at high altitude.

As if the previous F7F performance, the P-47 could not beat the Me262 above 10,000 meters, and as soon as the two sides met, the P-47 suffered a big loss, more than 40 P-47s were shot down on the spot, and more than 20 P-47s were seriously injured by the Me262's 30MM machine guns.

And the rest of the P-47 took the same approach as the F7F. It is to accelerate the dive, hoping to escape from low and medium altitudes. But just now, when the F7F rushed to the middle and low altitudes, it was attacked by the Fokker 636 and suffered heavy losses. So when it was P-47's turn to be unlucky, he didn't dare to dive headlessly. Instead, under the command of the F-13 AWACS aircraft in which Commodore Major was riding, it dived away from the German Fokker group. And this F-13 also flew in the same direction with them, gradually moving away from the direction of the German Me264 and Fokker 636. So the S-band early warning radar on the plane did not detect that the Germans' Me264 and Fokker 636 were about to converge.

That is, the ongoing air battle has turned into two wargroups more than a hundred kilometers apart. An AWACS aircraft and an air combat commander can no longer command it. And this question does not exist on the German side, because the German AWACS aircraft and the commander who command this air battle today are double-shared.

So after the two wargroups were separated, Molders was in charge of the Me262T and P-47D battles, and Hersman Jr. took over the command of the Me264 bomber and was also responsible for commanding all Fokker 636s.

And just before the Fokker 636 and the "Firmament" fighter were about to exchange fire, Hirschman Jr. also worked out a high-low coordinated combat plan with Molders through the airborne radio and in code. At the same time as the Fokker 636 and the "Firmament" fighter began to fight, all the Me262Ts that were pursuing the P-47D gave up their targets, and then climbed to an altitude of 8,000 meters at full speed, and at the same time rushed to the area where the Fokker 636 and the "Firmament" were fighting. If those "sky" planes can't beat the Fokker 636 at medium and low altitudes, and want to use their high-altitude performance to escape, then another aerial massacre is coming!
