Chapter 1329: Whistling Sky 2
"God forbid!" Han Yuntian shouted in the channel, and then took the lead in swooping down! Such a good state of engagement made all the Chinese pilots almost as if they had been beaten with blood. All kinds of howls of excitement kept appearing in the channel, and there was even a buddy who yelled at Mazu Niangniang. In other words, what does the air war have to do with Mazu Niangniang? Han Yuntian didn't figure it out in the end!
A few minutes later, bullets like a storm came from the rear of the German fighters, and the German fighters were like insects shuttling directly through the deadly cobwebs, and the slower ones were directly smashed to pieces by the machine guns in the diagonal rear, while the faster ones had the opportunity to throw away the auxiliary fuel tanks, and then dodge attacks from different directions with difficulty in the rain of bullets! "We must save them! They are climbing and have no chance to fight back at all! Captain Heinze, who was the first to reach an altitude of 5,200 meters, shouted loudly in the channel, calling out to his companions around him. At this time, below them, his teammates in the Tricolor Arrow Squadron were struggling with the opponent's fire net, and he saw with his own eyes that a German plane painted in black and white was shredded by shells from several directions, and the pilot of this plane had drunk with him just three days earlier, and he was a good drinking friend.
The quality of the German fighter pilots was still very good, and although they met a strong enemy under extremely tragic circumstances, in addition to those squadrons that were pressed and beaten, many remaining German fighter squadrons still took advantage of the weakness of the small number of aircraft invested in Huaxia and quickly got rid of their opponents. After all, there are only a small number of fighters that enter from the rear. Huaxia started the first wave of attacks only gained a few minutes of advantage, 4 Huaxia fighter squadrons that suddenly appeared from the rear after beating down a dozen German fighters, their altitude dropped to about 4500 meters, at this time they fell behind in height, if according to normal tactical principles, they should consider leaving the battlefield, and then climb again to gain altitude advantage, but what the Germans did not expect was that these fighters were like greedy vultures, and after completing the attack on the fighters, they did not evacuate, Instead, he aimed at the group of German attack planes that were slowly evacuating below!
"Holy, they're in the water, right?" Some of the German pilots who had just escaped were completely speechless when they looked at the flying fox fighters who were hunting and killing the bombers below them, and some of the German pilots who had just been terrified suddenly realized that this was an opportunity. In a short thought, it didn't occur to me whether the other party's doing this meant another trap! Quite a few German fighters, led by their respective commanders, began to dive and attack, but there were some alert guys who already smelled the conspiracy from the changes around them! For example, Captain Heinze, who was planning to rescue his comrades in the Tricolor Arrow squadron just now.
"It's messed up, it's all messed up!" Heinz couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the messy German fighter units around him. Some squadrons were climbing, some had just escaped the pursuit and were in shock, and some were already impatiently diving down to attack, and the huge fighter group of at least six squadrons was torn apart like a torn sheet. So Heinz decided to take a look at the situation first, and he gathered his squadrons together and set them up in a circular formation to guard each other's blind spots, although this formation was conservative, but it gave the average small group of enemy planes no chance to succeed. No one wants to dive headlong into the enemy's pile!
And it was because of his conservatism and prudence that he and his squadron avoided a catastrophe. Just when many German fighters rushed down to fight again, the figures that appeared from the left and right wings and the clouds behind made Heinz's heart tighten! "I never thought that I could encircle my opponent in the air as well as I did on the ground! The speed of the aircraft is too fast, and the area of the theater of operations involved is much larger than that of the army. But Huaxia has done it, their command system is several levels higher than ours, when our combat plan is still stuck in the task explanation before takeoff, ground guidance and wartime improvisation, Huaxia can adjust the deployment according to the wartime situation, this system advantage is really terrible! They performed even better than we did with ground guidance! Heinz recalled afterwards with palpitations.
Although I really think it's just a beautiful misunderstanding. However, with the entry of the superior air force of the Chinese people, the German fighter units, which had fallen into an unfavorable situation and fought separately, were already at an absolute disadvantage. While many German fighters could not resist the temptation and lowered their altitude to attack the first wave of sneak attack Foxbat fighters, another group of fighters had already entered the battlefield and followed the Germans!
"Damn, didn't you say that the Huaxia Air Force was at a low point? How they have more fighters than we all! Second Lieutenant Wink cursed loudly as he looked at the Flying Fox Fighter and the Stone Tea Falcon Fighter that were not flying in front of him. A small number of German pilots, who could not resist the temptation, plunged headlong into the encirclement of China, and the other side relied on the superiority in numbers and altitude to break up the German formation in an instant. Even the formation of two planes could not be maintained, the long plane could not find the wingman, the wingman could not see the long plane, and in the chaos, the German fighter unit was bleeding again.
"Their fighter forces will not be able to concentrate for a while and a half. Leave a part of the fighters to continue to be on alert in the air, and we go down to fight attack aircraft and bombers! Looking at the chaotic battlefield overhead, Han Yuntian ordered through the channel. The main target of the Huaxia fleet is still the bombers, after the German fighter unit was greatly damaged and fragmented, Han Yuntian can finally attack the bombers that are fleeing to a low altitude with confidence! It feels good to hunt a bomber with little to no interference!
Relying on high speed, Han Yuntian and his wingman captured a JU88 bomber group. THREE BOMBERS IN A ZIGZAG LAYOUT TRIED TO COVER EACH OTHER WITH 13MM MACHINE GUNS ON THE TAIL AND TOP OF THE FUSELAGE. BUT FOR THE FAST-MOVING, FEROCIOUS FOXBAT FIGHTERS, THE SPARSE 13MM MACHINE GUN FIRE LEFT AT MOST A FEW SMALL HOLES IN THE FUSELAGE. "Brother, free to attack the target, there are not many situations like today, take advantage of it!" Han Yuntian greeted him in the channel and rushed down first. More than ten seconds later, a series of fire snakes roared and ran towards the JU88 in the middle, in a few seconds, three 20MM shells poured white shells, and the dense rain of bullets fell on the upper part of the JU88 fuselage, and the powerful armor-piercing incendiary bombs easily tore through the aluminum skin of the aircraft, and ignited it by the trend. Puffs of smoke accompanied by a slight explosion continued to come from the upper part of the plane, and the electric turret had been damaged, and after ten seconds, the plane was cut off and plunged to the ground.
The other two planes immediately broke away as soon as they saw that the situation was not good, and one of them further reduced its altitude, but unfortunately, the heavy load made it difficult for it to dodge the agile killer behind it, Han Yuntian's wingman easily followed him and then completely smashed the bomber's ass with a machine gun! Not only was he still satisfied, he even broke away from Han Yuntian to pursue the third plane!
Under the vigorous encirclement and suppression of nearly 5 squadrons of fighters in China, the German bombers at medium and low altitudes experienced what hell is! The roar of machine guns and the explosion of aircraft were incessant, and there were even cases of several planes exploding at the same time. Clouds of flames and smoke from the explosion billowed in the air. German attack planes shuttled through a hail of bullets and explosions. Most of the planes dropped bombs and fuel tanks early, but the limitations of their own performance still prevented them from being chased from the air. The fighting altitude of the two sides ranged from 4,000 meters all the way to 1,500 meters, or even lower! Quite a few German planes even lowered their altitude to a height of several hundred meters, facing the threat of hitting a mountain and stalling, dodging the deadly Grim Reaper behind them!
"Don't go crazy! There's danger down there! Han Yuntian, who had just won the fourth record today, glanced at his wingman, and everyone went crazy. The wingmen who have always been able to be tricks have shot down at least two planes, and the rich results have made the Huaxia pilots a little cerebral congestion. Even chasing a JU90 aircraft towards a mountain pass! The JU90 was completely desperate, and the German pilot lowered the altitude even further, almost flying close to the top of the mountain! Then, just as he was about to cross the mountain, two thick fiery snakes suddenly burst out of the ground and tore the plane in half! The jumping shells almost knocked down even the Foxbat fighters behind! "Look at the dots! That's obviously one of our bases, isn't that a mess up in the past! Han Yuntian roared angrily.
In fact, the so-called first monsoon bloodletting actually means that the bomber units suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the German bombers and attack planes failed to return to their bases, but the fighter units suffered a little loss at the beginning, and the later air battles were not one-sided. The level of the Luftwaffe's junior commanders was still very high, and there were many experienced and intelligent commanders like Heinz.
After realizing that the other side had more people than us, had better battlefield perception than us, and that the bomber forces below could no longer be saved, these remaining Luftwaffe elites began to concentrate and fight with the Huaxia fighter units that remained on high alert in a planned and purposeful manner. Perhaps because there were more old birds, the Germans were significantly stronger in the next air battle than at the beginning. Most of the fighters formed a ring of defense to fend off the onslaught, while the old birds who had solo safari qualifications roamed the edge of the battlefield like assassins.
"Damn, I would have had less gas if I had known!" A Foxbat fighter is about to incorporate a BF109 fighter into its crosshairs, and a single latter disappears from the scope with a neat roll, and then begins to climb at maximum speed after getting rid of pursuit, and the high climb performance of the BF109 fighter is fully displayed at this moment. The Foxbat fighter suffered somewhat in vertical maneuvering because of its weight. Many German aircraft attacked in groups, giving full play to the advantages of the BF109 in vertical maneuverability, and immediately disengaged after a miss. Although the Foxbat fighter has a speed advantage, if it is attacked by the opponent's continuous dive, the speed advantage of the Huaxia fighter is gradually exhausted in the dodge again and again.
However, fortunately, Huaxia also has the Casa Falcon fighter, relying on better supercharging and high-quality fuel plus light weight, the climb of the Casa Falcon fighter is no worse than that of the BF109. And with the competition for altitude, the battle between the fighters of the two sides began to develop at high altitude, and the long-term battle at high altitude was a lot of pressure for the German fighters, who were already not sufficient!
During this time, the Germans even tried to look for watchtower AWACS aircraft hidden on the edge of the battlefield, but in the absence of specialized electronic warfare aircraft, it was not easy to find a single target flying tens of kilometers away, after all, the eye could not see that far. After some fighting, the German fleet finally decided to evacuate after running out of fuel and ammunition. The air battle lasted about an hour, and in this short hour, more than 300 aircraft of various types of aircraft of the German air group on the Northern Front were lost! Among them, the number of bombers and attack aircraft is as high as 85! This cost the entire northern German ground attack cluster a third of its forces! And the loss of fighters is almost equivalent to 4 flying squadrons! Compared with the heavy losses in terms of material, the loss of personnel is even more terrifying, because this is a battle in the opponent's airspace, and the firepower of China is too fierce, many pilots have no chance to parachute, and those who parachute are also caught by the opponent, and after a battle, the number of pilots lost by the Luftwaffe is as high as about 400 people!
And the Huaxia side paid the price of more than 40 aircraft of various kinds. The almost 1 to 4 battle loss rate shocked the entire Luftwaffe! In particular, the loss of bombers made the Germans cry out for damage. The weak self-defense firepower of the JU88 simply cannot pose a threat to the Huaxia fighters, and it is not possible to put it in a box! However, at this time, the battle damage on the German front line had not yet been delivered to Kesselring. He only knew that the air force on the northern front had been intercepted by a large number of enemy planes, and Huaxia had almost transferred more than half of the available fleet to intercept the fighter units in the north. At this time, his attention was focused on the southern air group engagement, which had just begun air combat.
In Kesselring's plan, both the northern and southern fronts are contained, and when the available fighters in Huaxia are dimmed, their own strategic bomber units will be dispatched to deal a fatal blow to the other side! "Exchanging the loss of tactical aircraft for the survival of strategic bombers is a very good deal. I hope that the southern line can dim all the remaining fleets of the other party! Kesselring said, looking at the direction of movement of the two fleets.
At this time, Qin Yue was not idle, some of the Foxbat fighters who had just finished the battle would choose a nearby field airfield to land, and then select some of the crews according to the state of the pilots and fighters to fight another wave, of course, they could not participate in the battle with the German southern air group, they would stay and fight with the German strategic bomber force, although the first round was victorious, but this was only tactical, and the third battle with the Luftwaffe strategic bomber force was the key!
