The crash left Taliel resting for half a year, and the extensive fractures and torn ligaments made it impossible for him to fly, and it was not until May 1943 that he took to the skies again.

However, this did not mean that Tariel would not die, as his oxygen mask failed during the second flight training, causing him to faint, and his plane crashed straight into the Black Sea, shattering again.

But amazingly, this time Tariel still didn't hang up, but only broke his lower leg. What is even more surprising is that he refused to go to the hospital to recuperate, but continued to complete flight training with a plaster cast.

This tenacious fighting spirit finally alarmed the Military Commission, and in recognition of his bravery, the Military Commission awarded him the Order of the Red Banner again. However, Tariel had no interest in medals, in fact he had no interest in anything but flying, no socializing, no friends, and no concern for girls. In the regiment, he is a veritable lone wolf.

During this time, Tariel's greatest interest was the La-5FN fighter, a new fighter that had just been refitted and was much stronger than the Yak-7 and Yak-9 he had flown before, and was first-class in terms of speed and hovering ability at medium and low altitudes. For the first time, Taliel didn't have to go into battle with a fighter that was lagging behind the enemy.

June 1, 1943. During a routine air patrol, or rather a "lonely" air safari with Tariel, he shot down three enemy planes in one go. Of course, this is nothing for him, and what is more surprising is that on this day Taliel flew for a total of 12 hours and 37 minutes!

In other words, Tariel flies throughout the day, and this physical strength stronger than a bison is enough to shock the world. But that's not the scariest part. Even more terrifying was that the next day, Taliel flew another 10 hours and took part in three fierce air battles. And it was shot down twice in air battles.

It happened that at that time, Tariel was patrolling with his squadron at an altitude of 6000 meters and spotted a group of JU-88 and BF-110 fighters attacking Red Navy transport ships on the surface of the sea. At that time, Tariel and his companions dived down and launched a fierce attack on the German fighters.

Tariel soon shot down a BF-110. The enemy plane crashed headlong on the shores of the Black Sea with raging flames. However, it was not long before Tariel noticed that something was wrong, and when his squadron attacked the JU-88 and BF-110, a squadron of FW-190s suddenly rushed out of the clouds, and soon Tariel was bitten by the tail by three enemy planes.

Cannonballs and bullets crackled, and Tariel could even see bullets flying past his cockpit, and with a thud, one of Tariel's wings was cut open enough for an adult to drill through.

Just as Tarriel struggled to get out of the fight, another hail of bullets struck, and soon his other wing was broken. Like a kite with a broken string, Tariel fell straight into the Black Sea.

This is the third time that Taliel has had close contact with the Black Sea. However, the Black Sea seemed to be particularly fond of this stubborn and rebellious young man, and this time with a plaster leg he swam to the shore with ease, and after an hour and a half he took to the air again.

This time Tariel was unlucky, as he spotted a DO-17 and quickly chased after it from behind. At this time, the upper tail gunner of DO-17 also discovered the existence of Tariel, and in a panic, DO-17's tail gunner began to fire fiercely at Tariel from a very long distance. Generally speaking, such an ultra-long-range attack is pointless, and it is simply impossible to get a hit. But what Tariel didn't expect was that the tail gunner was so lucky. A shell hit his nose directly, damaging his engine.

As a result, Tariel had no choice but to make a forced landing with the plane that began to burn, but the strong impact of the plane on the coast knocked him unconscious. Just as the fire in the nose began to spread into the cockpit, the hapless lucky man finally woke up, according to the fishermen who witnessed it - the pilot rushed into the sea with a bright flame, and when we scooped him up. Half of his pants had burned out.

Twice in a row in one day, I am afraid that someone else would have to rest for a day or two, but Tariel had no idea of this, and the next day, he was once again engaged in the battle. Even the head of his villain regiment had to admit: "No matter how withdrawn Comrade Taliel is." But he was the one with the highest fighting enthusiasm in the whole regiment and even the whole army, and he did not hesitate to ask for any encouragement, as long as he was allowed to fly and fight, he was extremely satisfied! ”

In fact, at this time, Tariel was already considered the number one figure in the Soviet Air Force, shooting down a total of 37 enemy aircraft, ranking third among the ace pilots of the Soviet Air Force. In front of him are the famous Pokryshkin and Grisevets, but if you look at the time of participation and the nature of the opponent, Pokryshkin played earlier than him and did not get injured halfway through the game and was out of action for half a year. Half of Griseswets's results were obtained before the Great Patriotic War, and if you only count the Great Patriotic War and calculate it according to the efficiency of sorties, Taliel's efficiency is actually the highest.

However, it didn't work, because of Tariel's bad temper and lone wolf fighting style, he really struggled to get the support of his comrades, and his superiors felt that he was a problematic. For example, for not following flight discipline, Tariel was often confined to his feet, which seriously affected his honor.

It stands to reason that with his record, he would have received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and the Order of the Golden Star at least once, but alas, not to mention the Order of the Golden Star, he did not even receive the Order of Lenin. There are only a pitiful three Red Banner Medals as a base. By this time, Pokryshkin was already a Hero of the Soviet Union, and Grytsevets had already received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union twice.

Compared with the two seniors with similar records, Taliel's gains can only be described as dismal. It's good that Tariel doesn't care about all this, he's only interested in flying and fighting, and as for the rest, what is it?

From June to September 1943, Taliel was bored, in his own words, rather bored. The reason is simple. During this period, both Germany and the Soviet Union were accumulating strength, and the two sides did not engage in large-scale offensive and defensive operations, which was a strategic stalemate. The army does not have large-scale operations, and naturally there is little need for the air force to cooperate and cover, and most of the time is endless redressing training and training rookies.

Tarriel doesn't think he needs this kind of training, and he has no interest in training new pilots. In his opinion, 90% of the pilots in the Soviet Air Force did not have the talent to fly, not because they were physically inadequate, but because Taliel believed that they lacked the desire to fly and fight, as well as the ability to fight independently.

The so-called independent combat ability is, in Taliel's view, the ability to fight like him. He hated the way of flying and fighting according to the instructions of the ground guide or the squadron leader or regiment commander. He thought it was tantamount to putting a dog on a chain for the pilot, and he didn't want to be a dog.

Therefore, Tariel looked down on the traditional Soviet pilot training methods, and also looked down on those stupid melons who were submissive to their superiors. Almost all novices will be scolded when they get to him, and they can't find the north, anyway, after a few trainings. These rookies are all strongly demanding a change of master, even if Taliel is a super ace.

In desperation, the head of the "villain" can only let Tariel end his career as an instructor, and he can also see that this person really has no teaching talent, and his education method, what if he teaches a trumpet again? Anyway, the regiment commander thinks that having such a thorn in his command is enough for a headache, and he is afraid that he will go crazy if he comes to the second one!

So the regimental commander gave all the daily patrol tasks to Tariel, anyway, this freak does not need to rest and has no interest in vacation. On the one hand, the precious time freed up can be used to train rookies who are really good at teaching, and on the other hand, it can also give homesick young men a chance to go home.

In fact, Tariel is also homesick sometimes. But he was thinking of the home before 1940, where he had a father and a mother, and he could share the joy of family with his sister, even if his father was sometimes irritable and rude, but it was a complete home after all.

And now that Tariel thinks he has no home, the only thing in this world that can make him nostalgic is flying. So he doesn't need to rest and he doesn't need to go home. Let him fly all at once!

During this time, Taliel's record improved by leaps and bounds, and in three months he brushed 33 planes, which brought his total number of shot down planes to 70, surpassing Pokryshkin and Grytsevits in front of him to become the number one ace of the Red Air Force!

But it doesn't help. The Hero of the Soviet Union still had nothing to do with him, and only one Lenin medal beat him to death, because on the night of the 60th enemy plane that he shot down the 60th enemy plane, he almost beat the guy to death by punching a comrade who had made a big deal about Stalin.

This almost landed him court-martialed, but it was Lenin who learned of the news and said good things for him, which saved Taliel from prison. But even so, Tariel couldn't stay in the original army anymore. No one likes such a lonely madman, and all the pilots of the regiment reacted to the regiment commander and commissar that if Taliel did not leave, then they would apply for a transfer.

Tariel's flying career was almost over, because no army wanted to take him, even if he was the number one ace, and the unpopular ace was useless. Talliel was on the verge of committing suicide, and it was better for him to live without flying than to die.

At this time, after Li Xiaofeng extended his help, he transferred Taliel's relationship to the KGB and formed a small squadron of special fighters - the lone wolf squadron.

The squadron was small, with only a dozen pilots, but it was very special, and the people who could join the squadron were notorious thorns in the Red Air Force or naval aviation. What kind of fighting, what kind of confrontation with superiors, what kind of "scum" who disobeyed orders were all concentrated. Of course, not all scum can join the lone wolf squadron, only those pilots with excellent flying skills and excellent records are eligible to join the lone wolf squadron.

And this lone wolf squadron is also very interesting, they do not undertake specific combat missions, they have only one mission - that is, air safari, just go to battle.

This was undoubtedly great news for Tariel, who was so comfortable in this freaky lone wolf squadron. Without those messy escort and cover missions, no one stresses any air discipline, and no one even requires them to cooperate with each other, they can play as much as they want, which is really cool!

But what made Tariel even happier was that he was finally able to board the Yak-3. For a long time, he wanted to try the feeling of flying the Yak-3, because this fighter was only equipped with elite Guards, which made it impossible for him to go around in the second-rate army.

I have to say that Tariel is indeed very talented in flying, and after changing into the Yak-3, he brushed up again in less than ten days. It's just a blind dog's eye.

It was one of the happiest times of his life, as it was one of the most enjoyable times of his life, not only did he improve his achievements, but more importantly, flying and fighting had become a complete pleasure.

Of course, at that time it was not without opposition to the creation of such a strange squadron, and the opponents believed that such a squadron full of thorns was a shame for the Red Army, and that if these thorns were put together, they would rebel in less than a day, and it would not be possible to achieve any results at all.

But Li Xiaofeng didn't care at all. He only knows that people can play a role, even if it is a thorn, it has the effect of a thorn, not to mention that this is still a group of unusual thorns?

Soon, Li Xiaofeng's persistence paid off, and the thorns gave him a big surprise!

Beginning at the end of September 1943, the Red Army began a strategic counteroffensive on all fronts, and in order to coordinate and cover the offensive of the ground forces, the Air Force naturally had to be busy. And among them, the fighter unit is the busiest. Lone wolf squadrons are no exception, although they do not take on specific combat missions. But the air safaris are becoming more and more intensive day by day with the arrival of the counteroffensive.

And on the 30th of September, Taliel encountered an unexpected and unprecedentedly powerful opponent on a safari in the air. Modex. Maybe many comrades are not familiar with this name, so I will briefly introduce this Modex below. This man was one of the biggest ace pilots in the Luftwaffe, the first super ace in the history of world aviation to shoot down more than a hundred enemy aircraft.

The physical condition of the Modes itself was mediocre and was even initially considered unfit for flying. However, he later proved with practical actions that the conclusions of the so-called experts are usually bullshit and fart. He rose to prominence from the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, then moved on to France, Britain and the Soviet Union. On June 30, 1941, he shot down five Red Army bombers in a row, breaking the record of 80 Red Baron Richthofen in one fell swoop, becoming the number one air killer. For this, Hitler specially awarded him the knightly medal of the Iron Cross with two swords and silver statues.

Note that this is not the end, just a dozen days later, on July 15, this cargo broke the 100 mark in one fell swoop. Shot down 101 warplanes, thus becoming the first German soldier to be awarded the Knight of the Iron Cross with Diamond Double Sword and Silver Oak Leaf.

However, in order to protect the number one ace, Hitler promoted Mortes to colonel and forbade him to take to the skies again. Of course, in order to compensate this ace, Hitler generously awarded a knight of the Order of the Iron Cross with diamonds and two swords, silver oak leaves.

In other words, from August 1941, Modes lost the right to take to the skies. And on November 22, 1941, the cargo crashed and hung up. It's October 1943, and it's no wonder that Taliel can't meet Motes!

The circumstances were unique, starting with the butterfly effect of an immortal that caused Maudex to put on a seatbelt in the crash and be rescued along with two other survivors. And for every true warrior, it is their dream to go to battle. That's true for Tallier, and it's true for Mordex. Despite Hitler's ban, the super-ace was secretly taking to the skies, and is said to have shot down 30 enemy planes in the last two months of his life. And all this made it possible for a battle between Tallier and Mortes.

That day, Taliel ate a hasty breakfast as usual and sat in the cockpit, waking up early to hunt for as many hours as possible in the air. As usual, the plane rose into the sky on its own, then slowly climbed to an altitude of 5,000 meters, and then flew all the way west.

The Yak-3, equipped with two oversized auxiliary fuel tanks, can reach a combat radius of about 1,300 kilometers, which provides a strong guarantee for Tariel's hunting operations. Of course, if, according to his meaning, a few more auxiliary fuel tanks should be added, how can 1300 km be enough? If he wanted to go hunting over Berlin if he could, it would be quite exciting.

Tariel, who was in a good mood, had a pretty good morning, and soon shot down a lone BF-109 and JU-87, but these two small spots were only appetizers for him. He really wanted to play with real masters, because he had heard a lot of stories about the German super aces in the army before, such as Modex, such as Hartmann, such as Garland, no matter who it was, it was better than those German rookies who couldn't help fighting!

Unbeknownst to Tariel, God was ready to grant his wish, for it was in this airspace that Mordex was ready to go. As the director of the Luftwaffe fighter unit, he heard the wing commander of his old unit, the 51st Wing, complain, saying that he had encountered a group of crazy Ivan, and this group of Russians was making trouble on the chassis of the 51st Wing, making the boys helpless.

Mauds was also curious, he wondered what kind of Russian madman could be so powerful...... (To be continued.) )
