Chapter 1435: The Eagle Over the Bay of Biscay 3

"Watchtower 12, we have found the target, and we are about to attack. Look at the side of us, and if the other part of the plane needs support, tell us, "Look at the huge figure on the lower left of you." Lu Yifan made the last contact with the command plane on the radio. The enemy chosen by the Harrier Eagle Wing is the DO335 group that is covering the skies over the bombers, and in terms of size, the opponent is about the same as itself. At this time, they should not have found the large force of the Huaxia group, with the help of the watchtower, Lu Yifan's Shicha Falcon group successfully approached the target from the side with the cover of the clouds, and in another 7 minutes, Huaxia's Shicha Falcon will launch a continuous attack on the opponent

"God, Viper 5, look at someone behind you sneaking up on us"

"Where did these guys come from? They have at least one squadron in size" When the Huaxia group broke through the clouds and began to dive, the Germans finally discovered that the Grim Reaper was so close to them, the original loose formation made them directly lack cover, the Huaxia Air Force split up in squadrons to attack the DO335 fighters flying above the bombers' heads, these agile and fast hunters attacked like falcons, under the sunlight, the slender barrels annoyed with the faint blue light like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, the Germans were caught off guard, The first wave of attacks by the Huaxia Air Force achieved relatively good results

In the face of this sudden attack, DO335 drivers generally choose two options, one is to immediately dive and accelerate away, and the other is to accelerate and run away in level flight, they rarely use hovering or other ways to avoid attacks, on the one hand, because DO335's hovering performance is not good. It is not uncommon for the Germans to be killed before they can finish the turn, and another reason is that the Germans are very confident in the speed of the DO335, at an altitude of 6,500 meters, the Germans think that the speed is unmatched, but this time, they encountered the same high-altitude and high-speed Shicha Falcon fighter

It's like a school of fish attacked by sharks. The huge German fleet dispersed as soon as they noticed it, and the time was so rushed that they didn't even have time to form a defensive formation. A DO335 fighter began to accelerate, the MW50 unit was activated, and a mixture of water and ethanol was injected into the engine cylinders, accompanied by the roar of the engine. The entire plane began to tremble slightly. The plane began to accelerate, and a long-lost pleasure made the pilot a little fluttery, because of the poor rearview vision, he could not see the location of the sneak attacker, only some fiery red shells flying past him. And the shells are getting more and more sparse. "Looks like you've been thrown off?" Under normal circumstances, as long as it is detected in time, DO335 can easily shake off the trailing opponent. This time seems to be no exception.

Just when the German pilot thought that he had escaped from the sky, a sudden and rapid vibration came from the tail of the plane, and the sound of metal breaking and violent shocks made the plane lose control in an instant, and then, the plane weighing more than 7 tons spun and fell like a huge spinning top. "Isn't this thing anything powerful except for being strong?" Lu Yifan used a set of clean spot shots to achieve his first result of the day. At a distance of 400 meters, 4 Sispano cannons fired nearly 100 shells in a matter of seconds. Directly smashed the tail engine of the DO335 Just now he temporarily stopped the design because the angle was not very good, in fact, the target did not throw off the opponent at all, just the opposite. In less than 1 minute, the distance between the two sides was reduced from the initial 900 meters to 400 meters

In less than 10 minutes after launching a sneak attack on China, at least 9 DO335 fighters were shot down, and at least 5 others were damaged. And that's just the beginning. As the two sides gradually separated from the bomber forces, the gap between the scattered Ishcha Falcon fighters and the DO335 was even greater

"Don't let them get back together. The teams are pestering your opponents, and now is the time to put your skills to the test. They are very poor in maneuverability at this altitude, don't be afraid, be bold and go around in circles with them Don't care about the bombers, those big guys are not our thing" After mixing up to the level of wing commander, Lu Yifan needs to focus more time and energy on grasping the battle situation. If it weren't for the fact that the target just now flew under his cannon, so that Lu Yifan had the idea that he would be too sorry for himself if he didn't knock the other party down, Lu Yifan rarely took the initiative to hunt and kill. He must always be aware of his surroundings and ensure that he has good communication with 12 Watchtower. Although they now have a big advantage on the local battlefield, after all, there are other German fighter units around, and God knows if the other side will split up to reinforce this attacked group.

"Captain, what are we going to do? Our teammates are in a hard fight," one of the group leaders asked the commander of the Luftwaffe cover unit, Major General Celtic. At this time, the wing responsible for high-altitude cover was already entangled with the Huaxia Air Force. The two sides fought inextricably and gradually broke away from the bomber formation, and the tactics of the other side were like wolves attacking horses, taking time to separate some of their prey from the group and then eliminate it. Celt didn't think about supporting friendly forces, but looking at the hundreds of bombers next to him, he hesitated that the main task of the escort force was to cover the bomber force. They were tied down by bomber forces. It was supposed to follow the movement of bomber units.

But the current situation is that a quarter of their own forces are entangled by the other side, and now they are still far from the target area. Regardless of the outcome of the battle in the distance, he will lose a quarter of his troops. Because it is impossible for these planes to be on the group after a fierce air battle, if they are not shot down, their best choice is to return home, he did not think that while the bomber force is not engaged in the battle now, the entangled group is not far from the large force. In the face of his comrades in trouble, he really wanted to help, but in the end he did not give the order to transfer planes from other wings, but could only silently pray in his heart that the wing caught in the melee could fight his way out of the encirclement with his own strength, after all, the DO335 fighter had not disappointed the Luftwaffe

And it was for this reason that the Luftwaffe, which was bitten by the Harrier Eagle Wing, fell into an embattled state, to be honest. The mode of skirmish and large-scale air combat is somewhat different, and the pilot's skill and aircraft performance are more likely to play in skirmish, while the latter's collision depends on luck and defense. And when the large formation of the two sides was broken up, the Shicha Falcon, which was flexible and fast at the same time, could be described as relaxed and freehand when it fought with DO335 at its most suitable height

"That's fast," Second Lieutenant Markey had just put a Casellia Falcon fighter in the scope, and the two DB601 engines had reached their maximum power. But he just couldn't close the distance with his opponent, at this time, relying on a small angle dive, his landline speed had reached an astonishing speed of 680 kilometers per hour, and the dexterous plane in front of him only maintained a speed comparable to him in level flight As soon as he thought of this, Ensign Markey was a little frightened that the other party was in the middle of his scope, but firing at a distance of 600 meters was undoubtedly difficult to hit the target. The other party kept his distance from him as if demonstrating, like a red cloth beating a bull

Suddenly, the plane in front of him quickly dived, easily out of Lieutenant Markey's scope, and then a hovering bit another DO335 fighter, and four slender machine guns erupted hot tongues of fire. The constantly beating shells smashed the cockpit of a DO335 fighter to pieces, and then another rolled sideways to dodge the attack of another aircraft, at this moment, the opponent's excellent maneuverability was vividly displayed, coupled with the super high speed, so that Ensign Markey had a feeling of invincibility

As time passed, the Luftwaffe gradually fell into decline, and fighting at an altitude of about 7,000 meters was very uncomfortable for the Germans. The powerful engine is as weak as an old man with asthma, even when the throttle is pushed to the maximum. The intake pressure is still low, the horsepower is never up, and the opponent is constantly chasing and fighting at high altitudes. The DO335, which is huge and mobile, has a sense of power and uselessness, they are like a group of wild boars facing tigers, although they have sharp fangs, but they miss and fly in vain, and German planes fall from the sky from time to time. In less than 20 minutes, another squadron of DO335s was destroyed or forced to withdraw from the battlefield.

In the end, the Germans decided to evacuate. But the problem is that if they want to run, they have to get rid of the maggots and bones behind them, and it is impossible to run to the sky, so they can only keep diving and fleeing in the direction of low altitude. But to the surprise of the Germans, the Stone Tea Falcon, which used a 2-stage booster, was equally strong at low altitudes in battles below 3,000 meters. The relative advantage of the stone tea falcon is even better than at an altitude of 7,000 meters

"These improved Ishcha Falcon fighters are like being reborn, I fought them in Iran, and these guys weren't that difficult to deal with at the time, their speed was mediocre at the time, and their vertical maneuverability was not very good, but now, these guys seem to have been reborn. They move lightly and move quickly, both at high altitude and at low altitude, which is simply a devil's handiwork, especially at low altitudes, these planes can even climb shallow to catch up with the DO335 fleeing at full speed, which is simply incredible" Ensign Markey wrote in his post-war summary, he personally saw a Ishilia Falcon fighter climb from a shallow altitude of about 2000 meters to 2500 meters after shooting down a DO335, Then he dived again to attack another DO335 fighter jet, which lasted no more than five minutes, and the latter almost reached its maximum speed at this altitude, a nightmare scene that he could not forget even after the battle

The battle was almost one-sided in the end, and in the end, 40 percent of the Do335s in the entire German wing were destroyed or fell due to accidents. The remaining squadrons were also broken up and began to flee. As the victor, the Harrier Eagle Wing only lost one squadron of troops, except for a few planes that did not have enough fuel and needed to return, the entire Harrier Eagle Wing was able to draw out about 80 planes to continue to carry out combat missions.

"One of our wings was scattered, and the opponent's losses were not large, we could be caught at any time, Huaxia has radar sentry planes, they clearly know our location, what should we do now? It's up to you to make a decision. "Rear Admiral Celtic learned of the outcome of the battle, and now he was in a dilemma, the escort group lost about a quarter of its forces in a daze. The combat effectiveness of the new Huaxia aircraft exceeded his expectations, and it is conceivable that there will be more Huaxia fighter units in front of him to intercept them. If the offensive continues, the escort force of the German bomber formation is somewhat insufficient, and if it waits, the enemy's air defense will continue to increase. Whether to attack or wait, he left the decision to the commander of the bomber, Lieutenant General Jeshunek.

"Where is the fleet of the Navy? How long do they have to get to the battlefield? Will they be able to fly over and join us? "Yeshunek did not make an immediate decision, but asked the Navy about the location of the FW190T fighters. The number of fighters around him is insufficient, and the direct hard rush must be to hit the iron plate, and it is not realistic to wait for the second batch of aircraft, the time is too long, it will give the other party more time to prepare, and their own fuel is not necessarily enough, although the internal oil of HE177 is amazing, but each aircraft in order to carry 3 guided bombs, these aircraft have greatly compressed the amount of internal oil, so the entire combat process, the fuel of the bomber is not sufficient. Both of these options are not very good, then you can only wait for the Navy's fighter units to converge with you, and the DO333 and 500 FW190T fighters of the 3 wings can always fight their way out

Now the situation is already very serious, but Yeshunek is not messing around, according to the schedule, the carrier-based aircraft of the Allied fleet should enter the combat airspace after half an hour, even if they can't join themselves, then they can at least drag off part of the opponent's forces, even if the Entente can also use this time to replenish some fighters, but Jeshunek believes that it is impossible for the other side to replenish up to 500 aircraft in a short period of time" told below, If we can't drop bombs on the other side's aircraft carriers, then throw them on other warships and pick up the big ones."

After Jeshunek's order was passed on, the entire fleet began to slow down, and they roamed the edge of the battlefield more cautiously, trying to make contact with the naval aviation of the Allied fleet. However, it is a pity that this kind of cross-service long-distance liaison itself has both institutional and technical obstacles, and the Germans lack a center for information exchange, so there is a serious lag in this kind of contact, and this gives China an opportunity
