Polyushkin knew that he was being targeted.

He had just dodged an attack from a "Yellow Nose" with a roll and dive. By this time, his speed had been reduced to below two hundred, and there was not much height left, so he kept the dive and let the speed return to an acceptable level, and then changed to a dive. By this time, there was not much height left for him.

At this time, Polyushkin saw that the Yi 16 he drove had enough advantages in terms of circling ability, as long as the storage speed was sufficient, he could use hovering to avoid the Grim Reaper from above, but his companions obviously did not find this.

Some even pulled up the nose of the aircraft and tried to attack the German fighters, which were climbing and detached, as a result of which they lost speed in vain.

Polyushkin watched the battle overhead, while maintaining level flight and throttle to the end in order to build up speed and increase altitude slightly.

The elite of the Russian Imperial Air Force, who had just been full of ambition, were now running around to avoid the attacks of the German fighters occupying high altitudes, and the Germans' tactic was simple: they swooped down, and as soon as the prey turned to evade, they broke away from the attack and regained the altitude.

After repeating it several times, the formation of the Russian fighters has been completely disrupted, and the Germans in groups of two are hovering at high altitude, calmly selecting targets for the next round of attacks.

At this time, Polyushkin suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head, and he suddenly realized that he was not out of danger, and he immediately turned his head to look at the back hemisphere of his landline.

There was a flash in the sky, it was the reflection of German fighters, their fuselages seemed to be all-metal.

Pollyushkin glanced at the altimeter, the dive was too risky, so he swung the joystick and made the fighter roll ninety degrees, cutting into the left circle.

The Germans opened fire, and the bullets flew past Poliushkin's body.

Polyushkin looked up, just as the German yellow nose passed by him, it was a slender fighter plane, the square wings were shining with metal, and the exhaust pipes mounted on both sides of the long yellow nose were constantly flashing sparks, giving the impression that the plane was constantly sneezing.

The Germans were still firing at the moment of sight, and it was clear that Poryushkin was out of his line of fire. Shell casings flying out of the ejected holes in the wings and fuselage reflect the sunlight and add a few splendor to this sleek fighter.

The Germans roared past and began to climb.

Polyushkin also switched to level flight recovery speed. At this time, his brain was racing.

The German pilot had clearly violated their tactical principles, and he was supposed to be cruising high in the air like his comrades, attacking the highest-flying Russian plane, but he rushed down.

Polyushkin felt that this German plane was the same one that had attacked him several times, and that the German pilot had already carried away.

That's why he continued to fire even when Polyushkin was out of the firing line and it was no longer possible to be hit. He had lost his mind in order to vent his anger that his successive attacks could not hit Polyushkin.

It must be so.

Pollushkin watched the sky, and how he wished that a friendly plane had spotted the German plane at a low altitude and swooped down to attack!

Unfortunately, his teammates have been swept away, and the rest of the people are focused on the air, desperately trying to avoid falling victim to the vulture's claws that swoop down.

On his own, Polyushkin pulled out the vodka he had smuggled into the plane, clamped the lever between his legs, twisted the lid and took a big sip.

Then he maneuvered the plane to make a turn, and sure enough, the German fighter plane swooped down on him again.

Polyushkin poured a few sips of vodka and threw the bottle out of the cockpit — the I-16 doesn't have such a cool configuration as an enclosed cockpit.

"Ulla!" Polyushkin shouted, pulling the nose up to aim at the yellow-nosed tip that was diving at a small angle.

He pressed the launch button, and the German fighters opened fire at almost the same moment.

Tracer bullets of two colors staggered across the sky.

The two warplanes are like medieval heavy cavalry, with powerful spears in their hands, and they attack each other with a thunderous force.

Suddenly, black smoke came out of the German fighters, and Pollushkin turned the lever at the moment he saw the smoke.

This saved his life, and the bullet that should have hit the cockpit hit the rear of the fuselage, causing Polyushkin's plane to shake violently.

Pollyushkin turned his head, looked at the German fighter planes planted on the ground, and shouted: "Ula! ”

"Schultz was shot down."

When the communication came, Heinz, who was climbing, frowned: "Are you sure?" ”

"Yes, he alone rushed down into the air to hunt down a Russian who had dodged many attacks, and now he was shot down."

"You as a wingman should rush down with him." Heinz was a little angry, "It's your job to cover the long plane, even if the long plane makes a bad decision." ”

"I rushed down with him, but halfway through I was bitten by a Russian fighter from behind, and by the time I dealt with the Russian plane, he was already dragging smoke to the ground."

"Damn." Heinz cursed.

At this time, Herman's voice came through the public channel: "Ivan is doing better than expected. ”

"Yes, I don't want to admit it, but yes, they did a good job."

As soon as Heinz finished speaking, a call came from the communication channel: "This is a falcon, call a bulldog." ”

"I'm a pit bull," Heinz said, "please." ”

"Report the situation, pit bull."

"We encountered a large group of Russian aircraft, which was in the midst of an engagement, and we shot down a number of Russian fighters, but we also lost one. We are already unable to carry out the task of hunting Russian reconnaissance aircraft. ”

"Roger, your mission has been changed to contain the Russian army, and others will take over your hunting mission."

"Understood." After switching the communication channel back to the public channel of his fleet, Heinz said, "Brothers, you have heard it too, do your best to stop the Russians, and you will join the attack with all your might, and you will join the attack, and there will be some reconnaissance planes in the annex." ”

At this time, thirty kilometers in the air from the battlefield, a Junkers-1 aircraft was flying at its theoretical maximum flight altitude. This fuselage is unlike the others, with a number of radio antennas mounted on its belly.

Lin Youde called this an air dispatch plane, and the task is to provide unified air dispatch for the aircraft group in front, which can solve the problem of insufficient communication capacity of small radio stations on board fighter jets to a certain extent.

If it weren't for the fact that the radar that could be stuffed into an airplane had not yet been developed, Lin Youde's air force would probably have the first airborne early warning aircraft in the world. Now, we can only look at the progress of radar miniaturization research, this space-time radar technology is backward compared to the previous time and space, and it would be good to be able to make a model with a simple radar system like the "Handsome Soldier" or ME410 around 1940, and the early warning aircraft with high-performance radar is estimated to be enough.

But it's good to have such an air command post, at least the fleet can have a unified dispatch.

"Crow Crow, this is the Falcon, the Bulldog is fighting with enemy planes in your west, and now you need to allocate half of your team to take over the hunting mission of the Bulldog, over."

After the correspondent finished speaking, he waited for a while, and the response of the crow captain came from the earphones: "Understand, do you have any requirements for going to the West with half of the combat strength?" Complete. ”

"No, continue to search for enemy reconnaissance aircraft, over."

"Falcon Falcon, this is the albatross, where there is an air battle, over."

"The air combat takes place in square F12, repeat, the air combat takes place in square F12, over."

While the communicators were busy communicating with the air fleet, the two air teams were to study the map hanging on the bulkhead on one side of the cabin.

"A total of sixteen two-seat reconnaissance planes were confirmed in the morning, and now we have shot down twelve of them, and four of them have not been found." The colonel frowned.

The other general was silent.

Hugo from the Wehrmacht Air Force? Major General Speerer is huge, and he usually gives people a sense of not being angry and arrogant when he stands there. He had already been promoted to captain squadron leader in the last war, and it is said that he had fought alongside the famous Red Baron, and he had already been awarded two double-sword Hohenzollern medals towards the end of the war.

Now, those two medals are staying on the chest of the major general in the form of an abbreviated medal.

It is said that the major general was very fond of expressing opinions, and that he was more rigid than the average air force general, and from time to time he clashed with pilots who did not follow the usual path.

But after coming to the International Column Air Force, he was often silent, as he is now.

The commanders of the air forces who had transferred from the Lufthansa team privately said that he was somewhat unfamiliar with the new principles of air combat that were now being implemented by the air force. Others thought that he was at odds with Lin Youde in terms of political opinions, so he was reluctant to command Lin Youde's army.

Colonel Wolfgang, also from the Lufthansa team, waited for a while, and when he saw that the stout general really didn't seem to be going to speak, he shook his head.

At this moment, Hu Ge spoke: "In the early stages of the last war, we generally used overlapping sector searches to conduct reconnaissance. It is likely that the Russian army still maintains this habit, and their command did not give specific search orders to the aviation units, so their commanders estimated that they deployed sector search according to custom. ”

"But most of the reconnaissance planes we found were operating together."

"After the reconnaissance plane takes off, it does not immediately spread out to form a fan, but on some search surfaces that are considered to be important directions, the reconnaissance aircraft will carry out the mission in groups of two in case a single plane cannot return."

"Well, you're right." Wolfgang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "I joined the Air Force in the late war, and at that time, most of our reconnaissance missions would use more complex flight routes, and fly over important locations that need to be reconnoitred according to landmarks. ”

Wolfgang immediately picked up the compass and protractor, and began to work on the map, and he quickly drew a series of overlapping reconnaissance planes according to the location where the enemy reconnaissance plane had been shot down.

"Signal troops, immediately mobilize the fighters in the air who have not yet had a mission to the following directions."
