Chapter 107: P-47 is Powerful
Today, with the efforts of all book friends, Ah Ding finally rose from the penultimate to the fourth from the penultimate in the Sanjiang Channel voting list.
Today, Wang Dongzhi, who was in charge of patrolling and providing air cover, was leading the 3rd Air Division to roam around the edge of the battlefield and closely watch the surrounding situation.
At this moment, the voice from the ground command suddenly sounded in my ears. "Attention to the immortal birds, pay attention to the immortal birds, there are a large number of enemy planes flying in your direction in the northwest direction, according to preliminary analysis, the model is the I-16 fighter."
"There's nothing faster in the world than flying a warhawk free! There is nothing sadder in the world than a fighter pilot without an opponent! The warhawk flies freely, and it needs its opponents to prove its existence! This has always been Wang Dongzhi's motto.
I thought that today's patrol was a formality, after all, these days the Soviets' planes have disappeared from the sky, and now I feel how happy I am when I hear that an enemy plane is approaching.
"Brothers, come with me to hunt ducks!" As soon as the whistle sounded, the 3rd Air Force Division, except for a few fighters who were on duty and on duty to make up for the leaks, all followed in a honeycomb.
As the saying goes, what kind of commander brings what kind of soldier. Wang Dongzhi's surname is different from Leng Yuan, Leng Yuan is calm and steady, and he pays attention to planning and then acting, Wang Dongzhi is enthusiastic and outgoing, and dares to fight. Therefore, under the leadership of Wang Dongzhi, the 3rd Air Division also developed the problem of screaming when there is a battle, always thinking of being the first to rush forward. Therefore, Wang Dongzhi was often teased by Leng Yuan and said that he should not come to the Air Force, but should be a company commander in the Army. But don't say it, Wang Dongzhi, a division commander who always fights shirtless, is still very loved by the pilots.
This time the aviation unit of the Soviet army was the 12th Air Division of the Don Front, which was newly transferred from Moscow, and this time Stalin was ruthless. When he heard the news of the air force's operational failure, in addition to urging the research department to step up the development of new aircraft, he also transferred a large number of planes to Siberia, which had six air divisions and more than 200 bombers, to Siberia. The 12th Air Division, which is here today, is the vanguard of the reinforcements this time, led by the division commander, Major General Kalinin.
As soon as Major General Kalinin arrived in Ulan-Ude, he received an order to urgently support Timoshenko, and the pilots of the 12th Soviet Air Division, who had not even had time to drink, had to board the plane again and fly in the direction of Cikota.
Major General Kalinin looked at the dense group of planes around him, but remembered the advice of his friend Major General Glicky, commander of the 23rd Air Division, beware of the Chinese planes, they are a group of devils, they suddenly dive down from high altitude, and then their fat and ugly planes will tear you to pieces with that powerful firepower. And their terrifying dive speed of up to 800 kilometers is not something that everyone can dodge.
"The surname of the I-16 is already far behind those Chinese 'fat people', dear Comrade Kalinin, you must remember that the only way to deal with those murderous 'fat people' is to use several times the enemy's aircraft, if you see that the number of enemy planes is close to yours, dear friend, I suggest that you hurry up and order the troops to retreat, although this will damage the honor of your soldiers." Thinking of his friend's advice, Major General Kalinin's heart swelled up with a sense of powerlessness, knowing that his friend was not a timid man, and that his bravery had been proven in the Spanish Civil War. But the current situation did not allow him to do so, otherwise a single crime of escaping would have sent him and his entire family to a concentration camp in Siberia.
"Carissa, my dearest one, bless me." After gently kissing his wife's photo and putting it in his pocket, Major General Kalinin turned on the communicator and shouted: "Attention of all units, now that the target airspace has been reached, everyone should be vigilant." ”
"Enemy planes have appeared, southeast," Rear Admiral Kalinin's words had just fallen, and a large group of blackened planes suddenly drilled out of the easternmost clouds, and swooped down on Major General Kalinin.
"All the enemy!" Major General Kalinin had only time to say such a sentence before the two sides came into contact.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, more than a dozen planes of the Soviet army's I-16 were hit in the air and exploded, and the fierce attack of the fighters of the [***] squadron suddenly caught the Soviet army by surprise.
However, the 12th Air Division led by Major General Kalinin was not vegetarian, and after the reaction came to its senses, the remaining 200 fighters immediately met it, and nearly 500 fighters broke out in a fierce air battle in the sky.
"Damn, Lao Maozi actually put a cannon on the plane?" Wang Dongzhi, who thought he already knew a lot about the I-16, was taken aback when he just fought with the Soviet army, although the surname of the I-16 aircraft could not change much, but two 20 mm caliber machine guns were added, so that the firepower of the I-16 was greatly strengthened, and two unlucky P-47s were hit after ten minutes of fighting between the two sides.
It turned out that Major General Kalinin dared to come to the trouble of Chief Su and was also a little confident, and the I-16 he was equipped with was the latest improved 24 type, which was replaced with a new M63 engine with a power of 820 kilowatts, and two new machine guns were added, so that although the flight speed and speed of the aircraft were only increased by a few tens of kilometers, the firepower was greatly improved.
"Dog said, everyone should be careful, Lao Maozi's plane is equipped with cannons." Wang Dongzhi reminded the pilots in the communication channel, "Immediately increase the speed, climb high, climb high!" ”
Under the command of Wang Dongzhi, the pilots of the 3rd Air Division immediately increased the engine output, and the group immediately climbed rapidly, don't look at the P-47 five big and three thick, and the body was still wrapped in thick armor, but under the strong impetus of the R-2800 air-cooled engine with up to 2,000 horsepower, the plane immediately quickly got rid of the opponent and flew towards high altitude, although the I-16 was desperately chasing behind, but it could only be a sigh of hope.
When the P-47 gained the advantage at high altitude, they immediately pounced without hesitation, and when they dived, the speed of up to 800 kilometers immediately caught the Soviet pilots by surprise, which is their best dive tactic.
Seeing that the boys of the 12th Air Division were beaten by the Chinese' 'fat men' and blossomed one after another, but their own side was helpless, Major General Kalinin's heart was like being cut by a knife. These young men are very good pilots, with excellent flying skills and skilled fighting skills, but they were beaten by those Chinese who took advantage of the aircraft surname.
"Kill!" After letting out a roar, the enraged Major General Kalinin led the group of planes to fight in the sky.
"Knock knock" Major General Kalinin just took advantage of the carelessness of one of the Chinese pilots on the other side to rush from behind, and after a burst of machine guns, the P-47 flipped over and fell.
Before he had time to rejoice, Major General Kalinin suddenly noticed that a 'fat man' was rushing from his flank, and after seeing a series of flying tongues of fire protruding, his plane lost control and burst into flames.
It was impossible to parachute on the plane tumbling in the air, and Major General Kalinin, who was trapped in the plane, could only fall to the ground helplessly, and his last thought was, 'Dear Kalisa, farewell.'" ’
It was Wang Dongzhi who shot down Major General Kalinin, he had long noticed this extraordinary enemy fighter in the sky, and several times Wang Dongzhi wanted to sneak attack him, but this guy was very vigilant, and immediately ran away when something was wrong, and the flight action was very skillful, until he was too greedy to kill a P-47 Wang Dongzhi seized the opportunity to kill him.
After Major General Kalinin's plane was shot down by Wang Dongzhi, the Soviet troops who had lost their command were like headless flies, spinning around, and Wang Dongzhi commanded the group to take the opportunity to cover up and kill for a while, and after shooting down more than 100 planes, the Soviet troops finally collapsed, and they finally fled in the direction of Ulan-Ude. Wang Dongzhi, who was proud, commanded the group of planes to chase dozens of kilometers relentlessly before returning home satisfied.
The battle loss ratio of the two sides in this air battle was 13:137, and one side also caught up with a major general and division commander, and the Soviet army lost a mess.
The outcome of this air battle shocked the entire aviation community of the Soviet Union, and Stalin immediately ordered the research department to step up the development of new aircraft at all costs, and the Western countries were also very surprised, when the backward ancient eastern country actually developed such an advanced fighter.
In this way, the famous American P-47 "Thunderbolt" fighter in history gloriously became the P-47 "Fat Man" from China.
