81_81266 Above the white clouds, 20 Soviet fighters formed two formations of different heights, which was already the largest fighter unit that the Soviet Air Force could handle on the Eastern Front. This unit is made up of elite pilots drawn from various units, and their mission in this operation is to lure the Luftwaffe into battle and use their unexpected technological superiority to fight a morale-boosting victory.

In fact, it was the commanders of the Soviet Air Force who were overwhelmed by Stalin, so they came up with such a method -- because the plane on which Stalin's envoy was flying down on the front line, the fact that the Soviet Air Force lost air supremacy on the battlefield could no longer be concealed, so Stalin ordered the execution of several directly related air force generals, and then ordered the Soviet Air Force to regain air supremacy on the battlefield.

"Call, call. Red Star No. 1, I'm Red Star No. 2. I had a qiē here normally, and did not find a German fighter unit. The captain's voice came through the headphones. Krinovich, who had survived the previous day's fighting, was selected as an elite this time as well, piloting his own fighter jet and following behind a long plane.

Only those who experienced the Luftwaffe massacre will know the horror of the Luftwaffe, and Krinovich naturally knew how terrible the air force of the Third Reich was, so he kept praying that the German fighters would not appear while flying the planes in formation.

His prayers did not seem to have helped, though, as fighter jets soon spotted the German plane high in the sky. He looked up at the position reported by the friendly forces, and found that on the top of his head, there were two small black dots.

It was a German FW-190D fighter! Krinovich knew at a glance that it was the best fighter of the German army, but this time the opponent flew a little too high, and it was obviously not the height at which the FW-190D fighter was used to appearing.

"The enemy planes are starting to dive! The enemy planes are starting to dive! Oh my God, they're going too fast!" The pilot of a Soviet plane kept shouting: "Spread out! Spread out the formation!"

In the blink of an eye, the German plane rushed to the front, and Krinovich quickly flicked his aircraft control stick to the right to avoid the German fighters that were diving down, but at this time he realized that the two German fighters did not seem to be the FW-190D fighters he was familiar with, but a model he had never seen before.

This fighter has a longer wing, a much longer fuselage than the FW-190D, a noisier engine, and more horsepower that seems to be output. The aircraft had a strange protrusion on the right side of the fuselage, which appeared to be a device like an air intake.

Of course, Krinovich, who saw this clearly, found a problem that made him sweat coldly, that is, the speed of these two planes was too fast. These Soviet pilots had all seen German FW-190D fighters, and several had even shot down German FW-190Ds, but in their minds, German planes were clearly not so fast.

"Red Star 1! Red Star 1, I'm Red Star 5! That's not the FW-190D! That's not the German FW-190D! That's a new model! I haven't seen it!" Krinovich shouted loudly: "It's too fast!"

"I saw it! Red Star 5! 7 and 9 were shot down! 7 and 9 were shot down!" the captain's reply was very flustered, and the entire Soviet fighter formation seemed to have become disorganized because of the panic.

The two fighters did not rush to climb after a dive in the air, but made a graceful arc with a shockingly small turning radius and rushed horizontally again. The Soviet pilots apparently did not expect the German planes to come back so quickly, and in a moment of distraction, two more planes were shot down.

"Spread out!" the voice of Red Star 1 shouted hysterically, and the Soviet fighters began to disperse, but the two German fighters had already begun to climb, and Krinovich was a little desperate, because he found that the German fighters were climbing at an outrageous speed.

Isn't there a weakness in the German fighters?" he thought to his mind. But after all, he adjusted his plane to maintain the distance between himself and the long plane. The pilot of the Red Star 11, who had experience shooting down German planes in the headset, repeatedly emphasized tactics: "Wait for them to dive! Wait for them to dive! We can't catch up with their speed! We can only wait for them to reduce altitude, and then use their performance to maneuver around at medium and low altitudes." ”

Soon, a new round of attacks began by German fighters in the sky, which were clearly more ferocious than the FW-190D. In another brief encounter, the 30 mm cannon shells fired by German fighters were so powerful that they smashed the two Soviet planes that were shot into pieces.

As if to realize the performance of their own fighters, the two German planes did not climb immediately, but took advantage of the unbelievable small turning radius to quickly return to the vicinity of the Soviet fleet. The Soviet fighter pilots sensed their opportunity and circled and began a struggle with the German fighters.

Krinovich's long plane had just been hit by a German attack, and he had watched his long plane disintegrate and explode in the air, so he didn't bother with the German fighter at all, but flew the plane to get out of the battlefield as much as possible.

His choice proved to be the right one, as several Soviet fighter pilots discovered that the new German fighter had a superior performance advantage, even at low and medium altitudes. After some scuffling, the German fighters calmly shot down four Soviet I-16 modified fighters, and then raised the altitude again to prepare for the next attack.

The Soviet Union's captain plane, the Red Star No. 1, went crazy, 20 veteran pilots who had been tested in battle, and even a few air combat masters who had shot down the German FW-190D fighters.

So the Red Star 1, who lost his mind, drove the plane to climb altitude, hoping to catch up with the two German fighters, and as the altitude continued to increase, he was surprised to see that the pointer on his altimeter pointed to the shocking number of 9,000 meters. When his plane lost power and began to fall slowly, he reluctantly watched the German plane flying at least 12,000 meters in the distance.

The German aircraft apparently did not intend to let go of the rookie Red Star 1. The two planes began to dive one after the other, and with the roar and roar of the engines, the two fighters approached the Red Star 1 at great speed, and then aimed and fired at close range, using only a few shells to let the Soviet captain plane.

Krinovic heard the mournful roar of Red Star 1 in the headphones, and felt that his palms were already covered with sweat. He couldn't forget the dying cry, and he couldn't forget the last wail of Captain Red Star 1: "Why? Why can they fly 12,000 meters? Why can they fly so high?"

The group of Soviet planes became more chaotic with the explosion of the captain of the Red Star 1, and as Krinovich fled, two more planes left the formation and headed off into the distance. However, compared to Krinovich, who escaped first in her foresight, the two planes did not seem to have such good luck, and they were quickly overtaken by German fighters and easily shot down.

The two German fighters were like sharks surrounding the fish, constantly swimming around the perimeter of the fish, and then attacking the poorly positioned prey, sending the prey to hell one by one. The battle was more of a hunt than an aerial battle, with German pilots seemingly testing fighter jets, constantly changing their attack maneuvers and smashing one Soviet plane after another to pieces.

When the last two Soviet fighters were left in the sky, the new German planes swaggered away, and instead of continuing the attack, they left the already desperate Soviet pilots away, seemingly losing interest in the slaughter of the Soviet pilots who no longer resisted.

"Red Star 5! I'm Red Star 18! I'm still alive!" After a long time, Krinovich, who was hiding in the clouds, received a call from his comrades: "Red Star 10 and I'm still alive!" The German fighters left, they left. ”

Krinovich piloted the plane to lower the altitude slightly, but did not change his return route: "I lower the altitude a little, you should be able to see me, let's go back!"

"Okay! Listen to you! I don't want to stay in this place for a second. The pilot of the Red Star 10 fighter was so frightened that his voice changed a little: "Why did they let us go?"

"How do I know, maybe it's out of gas, maybe it's out of ammunition, maybe they want to leave us and go back and spread the word about their terrible, who knows. Krinovich replied: "But we have a lot to report, such as the fact that the Germans have a new fighter that can fly as high as 12,000 meters." ”

"I heard that, too, the captain called him before he died, he said he was 12,000 meters high......" Red Star 18 said with a pale face. He didn't care at all that Krinovich escaped early, in fact, if he could escape, he would have run away a long time ago, but he didn't try to see his comrades who escaped late being beaten into a sieve.

The three Soviet planes flew back to their bases alone, and the ground crew were stunned when they looked at the planes that came back, and no one thought that this time they mustered up courage to attack would be exchanged for such a heavy failure. The three pilots who got off the plane said that they had encountered a new German fighter that was more terrible than the devil
