2. The most critical factor in air combat has bright spots, the first point is speed, and the second point is height! Compared to these two points, all other hard indicators can only be ranked behind. For a true master, as long as you grasp these two points, you can be invincible, you don't see that when the FW190 first appeared, relying on a top speed of more than 650 kilometers per hour and a decent climb and roll, the John's Bull Spitfire 5 next door was all over the ground. Don't you see, in the 2nd World War, there was no plane to play with eggs, but in the later stage, the eggs are not extinguished, and the flowers are blooming?

Aerial combat is not a spell jù. The belligerent situation can also be ever-changing. It won't be because your number jù is dominant, then you will definitely have an advantage when you meet. During normal cruising flight, the twin engine will choose the most suitable altitude and speed according to the composition of the formation, especially when the fighter and the bomber act together, the fighter generally needs to control the speed to accompany the bomber. So the BF109 fighters of the Germans had to give up their superiority and fly at a lower speed at a not too high altitude. And this gives the Huaxia Air Force a chance, what Sun Xin needs to do is to seize this opportunity and turn it into an advantage!

As a wing commander, Sun Xin is first and foremost an excellent Air Force pilot, and he is an Air Force pilot who has flown many kinds of aircraft! He has flown the main combat planes of various countries, even the BF109 of the Germans, and this plane is said to have been obtained by the technicians of the Huaxia Air Force after repairing the aircraft captured on the battlefield in Italy, and in the process of test flight, he also has some understanding of the characteristics of the BF109 fighter. From a performance point of view. The BF109 fighter has good hard indicators, and its climb, speed and dive performance are all mid-to-upper. It is also possible to maneuver with gravity. But the soft indicators are worse, such as the cabin is too cramped. And the rearview vision is very sad, so that Sun Xin, who is used to flying foxes and stone tea falcons, has to remove the bulletproof steel plate behind the back of the seat.

"The 109-degree view behind the BF120 fighter is very bad, and this is a exploit. Even if the alert is carried out at different heights in scattered formations, the blind spots are still very large. For Sun Xin, the tragedy of the rearview vision is the most fatal weakness of BF109 in the process of group fighting. You must know that this plane has not yet counted the chain, and in a large formation operation, even if a vigilant pilot realizes that someone is outflanking him behind, it is difficult to accurately and quickly inform the entire squadron of this information. In an air engagement, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. A split second delay could lead to the collapse of the entire front!

The Germans were not stupid, and although they had to take into account the bomber and attack aircraft groups that could not fly high for the load, the Luftwaffe arranged several squadrons of fighters at the front, and they flew at an altitude of 6,000 meters. This altitude is almost the highest combat altitude for all current fighters. The turbocharging of the US imperialism has not yet been made, the 2-level 2-speed supercharging of the British has not been completed, and the Germans have just made the 1-level 2-speed supercharging neat. If you fly any further, the plane will really only be able to fly, and you will not be able to fight!

"Damn, BF109 looks like a stupid duck at this height!" Squadron Leader Hoffman cursed involuntarily as he felt the vibration of the engine. This height is a bit too high for a BF300 fighter carrying a 109L drop tank. The load is large, and the air is too thin for the engine to take in enough. It's hard to fly even with a boost. Aside from the old squadrons, the new troops from home don't seem to be familiar with the climate. Care and maintenance are very different from what was the case in Europe. Hoffman's squadron had just been transferred from Europe. At the moment, he is fighting against the fighter who is not adapted!

Just as he kept cursing the plane and cursing the ground crew. The grayish-yellow figure that appeared above the clouds 500 meters below the front caught his attention, with the help of the cover of the clouds. The white traces of condensation at the tail of these aircraft were well concealed, but in the end, they did not escape the eyes of Hoffman 2.0! "It's a Foxbat! I remember them! These unbeatable demons on the Apennines! "In Hoffman's memory. These guys who used to let themselves fly back to base with all their ammunition and still full of bullet holes don't seem to have much advantage other than being sturdy and fast. But I don't know why those old birds call them the toughest fighters in the Entente!

At an altitude of 500 meters, the BF109 can already gain a speed advantage when diving down. After a moment of hesitation, Hoffman ordered all fighters to immediately abandon the drop fuel tanks and make a shallow dive to meet the enemy! A BF109 fighter swooped down towards the enemy aircraft below in a double group, relying on the altitude advantage, these aircraft gained huge kinetic energy in a short period of time, and at this time another problem of BF109 fighters showed up, their maneuverability in high-speed conditions will be worse, and in the case of poor maintenance, this problem is magnified a little, Sun Xin's evaluation of the control system of BF109 fighters is very low, thinking that they are inferior to the Shicha Falcon and Flying Bat aircraft, This problem has arisen in previous battles, and this new arrival of the squadron has been further magnified by this technical and maintenance loophole for various reasons.

The roaring BF109 fighter swooped down from the front, and as the altitude decreased, the red pointer on the speedometer gradually pressed to the end, and the greater speed and overload made the plane flutter slightly, and the old birds had to open their flaps to control the speed and flight status. "The BF109 fighter is lighter, so the torque of the engine will have a greater impact on the steering, and they have poor anti-directional steering ability, while our Foxbat fighter is almost unaffected by the engine torque because of the anti-rotation propeller. If you see the BF109 swooping down, just turn in the opposite direction and we can beat them in a dogfight! Although the BF109 fighter is a single-engine aircraft, after comparing the horizontal maneuverability of this aircraft and the Foxbat fighter, Sun Xin believes that the Foxbat fighter as a double-engine heavy fighter may not be weaker than the other party in dog fights, especially when the opponent's engine turns in the opposite direction, it will have an advantage!

Sun Xin is worthy of being a great master of the Air Force who combines theory and actual combat. Qin Yue valued him, in addition to his strong personal strength, this guy also had a talent. That is, you can clearly tell your experience to others, so as to bring out a team of ace pilots! The number of elite pilots in the units he commanded was always higher than in other units. And the other pilots, even if they are not trump cards, are theoretical masters, at least the kind that can be instructors!

When the Germans rushed down like an eagle with a little bit of difficulty in handling the BF109, the flying fox fighter that was supposed to be like a stupid bird in their eyes suddenly turned in a counterclockwise direction, and a huge figure flashed past the German pilot's field of vision. When the Germans rolled or circled in the opposite direction, they found their planes unusually difficult to maneuver, and some pilots even made a tooth-sour sound from the fuselage and engine because they spun too fast! Soon, the consequences of the forcible maneuver were fully revealed, and the altitude and speed quickly decreased. And the flight attitude was unstable, and while the German pilots were fighting against these changes, the Foxbat fighters who had just dodged a blow came around again!

(Note: The horizontal maneuverability of the P38 fighter is quite good, and when they first met, many German pilots rushed up to fight dogs with the idea of surrounding the opponent to death and then were surrounded to death by the opponent.) And the BF109 fighter really has a deterioration in performance at high speeds. In terms of operational performance, the BF109 fighter was inferior to the FW190. That's not to say that the BF109 is weaker than the P38. The later BF109K with the DB605 engine and drug performance is still very impressive, and if the BF109 uses a good climb for BZ, it is not bad, the key depends on the tactics. ）

Then the body is not very strong, the firepower is not fierce, and it is not called the BF109 fighter with rough skin and thick flesh and the flying fox fighter that is long in dog fighting, fierce firepower, and can be called a blood cow! Large-scale brawls in this case greatly limited the technical level of the pilots. God knows if you will run under the guns of another enemy after dodging one enemy, and this is why the German ace pilots in history were reluctant to go head-to-head with bombers like fire hedgehogs!

So 2 squadrons of BF109 fighters and 2 squadrons of Foxbat fighters fought in one place! In this case, it is no wonder that these German pilots who have just entered the battlefield can take advantage! Foxbat fighters do not have wing guns. ALL THREE 20MM HEATNANO CANNONS ARE CONCENTRATED IN THE NOSE, WHICH MEANS THAT WHEN FIRED TOGETHER, THEY FORM A FUNNEL-SHAPED BARRAGE, AND THE NOSE OF THE GUNS IS CERTAINLY BETTER AT DEPLOYING WEAPONS THAN PLACING THEM IN THE WINGS. This is also an important reason why the Germans were fond of installing a cannon on the shaft of the engine or a machine gun on the upper part of the engine.

The roar of machine guns and the explosion of shells suddenly resounded in the sky, and leaping fiery snakes tumbled and chased between planes. From time to time, planes are bitten hard. Meng Fan felt his body shake slightly, and it should have been a cannonball hitting the tail of one of the planes. However, thanks to the connection between the twin tails and the two. The plane quickly regained its balance. Except for the cockpit and engines, any attack by the BF109 fighter could hardly have caused fatal damage to this stout aircraft. Even some Foxbat fighters with more than 20 bullet holes can still return safely. As long as the BF109 is targeted in this dog fight, the oval barrage from the three Hispano cannons can easily tear it to pieces. RELYING ON A THIN-SHELL BULLET WITH A LARGE CHARGE, A 20MM SHELL IS ENOUGH TO TEAR THE HALF-PULLED WINGS OF A BF109 OFF THE FUSELAGE, WHICH IS A 20MM * 110MM THIN-SHELL SHELL, WHICH IS NOT COMPARABLE TO THE GERMAN MG151-20'S 20MM*88MM SHELL!

From time to time, German planes were shot down, and the luckier pilots had the opportunity to parachute, while the less fortunate ones turned into a fireball with the plane. The Germans, realizing that the strikers were outnumbered, began to try reinforcements. All the escorting German fighters began to climb to seize the attack position. At this time, under the guidance of AWACS aircraft, the main forces of the Huaxia Air Force had moved to the rear and two wings of the German air group. When the commanders led the team out of the clouds, they were shocked by what they saw!

"I've never been in such a good situation, if it weren't for the BF109 fighter on the opposite side and the Iron Cross on top telling me that they were Germans, I even suspected that my own people and we were cooperating in a scene! When we were sending out the clouds from a height of 5,500 meters, the other party was climbing from a height of about 4,500 meters! My squadron and I appeared behind them, and from the front, you could see planes exposing their wide upper projections to our guns, and because they had chosen to climb at a small angle, they still couldn't see our position, and we had plenty of time to enter the battlefield when they were most vulnerable as they climbed, and then kill them one by one like a flock of goofy geese! Han Yuntian, the first one-day ace in China, wrote excitedly in his diary, and because of this engagement, he destroyed 6 planes in one day, and became an ace pilot simply by virtue of his one-day record!

"It was definitely an accident, and if I believed in God, I would rather believe that God had instructed me to do it." As the direct commander of this air battle and the director of the first monsoon massacre (named after the German code name of the operation), Sun Xin has commented on this operation more than once in private. It was impossible for him to judge what the Germans would do with the intelligence of the Guò AWACS aircraft, and it would be good to have several groups of aircraft rush to the battlefield almost simultaneously, and it would not be easy to manage his own people, let alone the Germans. The most plausible explanation is that the German fighter fleet took a long time to climb, and it happened to allow the Huaxia fleet to meet, and as a result, the Luftwaffe lost the most planes per unit of time in a battle since its establishment.

The Germans thought the same way afterwards. In order to form a formation with the slow attack aircraft, the flight speed of all the fighters is not high, and the engine is in an idle state, at this time I suddenly received an order that the buddy in front can't bear it, it's time for you to get on, all planes need a period of time for the engine to gradually increase the output power, and then start to climb slowly with a 300L fuel tank! That's right, to climb with a tank! This combat distance is a bit far, and it is a battle with the Huaxia Air Force, which consumes a lot of time, so in addition to the fighter squadron that immediately went to support and directly threw away the fuel tank and copied the guys up, the remaining main forces climbed up with a 300L fuel tank at a small angle! The rate of climb at low altitude of the BF109 fighter without load is very impressive, but now, with the drop tank, the engine begins to be idle, and it is necessary to maintain a certain speed, and the climb cannot be too fast. Under the combined influence of these factors, the height of the German fleet can be described as a snail! As for BF110? The thing itself climbs slowly, like a turtle!
