Chapter 1239: Large-scale air battle

Over the Ural River, a large number of F9 fighters of the Imperial Air Force were flying at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, and the maximum altitude of these fighters reached more than 10,000 meters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And the old fighter of the Soviet Russian Air Force has a maximum ceiling of only more than 7,000 meters.

In addition, the fighters of the Soviet Russian Air Force escorted the bombers and did not form effective tactics. Their fighters and bombers are deployed together, with fighters on the periphery and bombers at the core. Unlike the fighters of the Chinese Air Force, if they escort bombers, they often stay above the fighters, and once they find enemy planes, they will immediately pounce from high altitudes and launch an attack on enemy planes.

After all, in the air combat of this era, although dog fighting is a way, the mainstream still relies on speed and climbing, attacking from a high altitude, then climbing, and diving again after rising to a high altitude. Such air battles are often easier to achieve results than dog fights. It is also a very effective way for advanced aircraft to deal with inferior aircraft.

The fighter fleets of the Imperial Air Force, often in squadrons or brigades, flew straight to the location of the Soviet and Russian Air Force, guided by radar. And the Soviet Russian Air Force, which was flying at medium and low altitudes, did not realize at all that the crisis was already on their heads.

"Enemy planes were spotted, they were more than a dozen kilometers west of us, at an altitude of about six thousand meters. Prepare to attack. "F9 fighters of a squadron of the Imperial Air Force spotted a Soviet aircraft group. The fleet consisted of twenty fighters and twenty bombers. Of the twenty fighters, the I-16 and I-15 fighters each accounted for half. Among the bombers, the SB2 bomber was a little more numerous, with sixteen. The number of DB3 bombers was a little smaller, with only four.

Although, the number of fighters in the Soviet Army was significantly greater than that of the Imperial Air Force. However, the Imperial Air Force remained unfazed.

"First attack the monoplanes of the Russians, the old biplanes, and then deal with them. Start attacking. With the squadron leader's order, twelve F9 fighters of the Imperial Air Force began a dive attack. They took advantage of the high speed to convert the potential energy into kinetic energy, so that the speed of the fighter was further improved, and soon exceeded 650 kilometers.

"Da Da Da!" The 12.7 aviation machine guns in the wing opened fire, and a dense stream of bullets shrouded the fighters of the Soviet Russian Air Force. The pilots of the Imperial Air Force did not use a cannon in the nose, but an aviation machine gun. Because the number of shells for the cannons was too small, they were often prepared for enemy bombers. Against enemy fighters, aviation machine guns are enough. In general, bombers are more robust than fighters. Therefore, the powerful cannon is the best weapon against these bombers.

Bullets from aviation machine guns hit Soviet fighters, leaving bullet holes one after another. Some Soviet fighters were shot through the cockpit, and the pilots were killed by bullets from aviation machine guns. After the fighter lost control, it drove directly up and fell.

A Soviet I-16 fighter with a broken wing, the plane lost its balance and fell headlong.

There was also a Soviet fighter that was even more tragic, and it was directly disintegrated in the air.

The surprise attack of the Imperial Air Force achieved very good results, and the first wave of attacks dealt with nine Soviet fighters.

"Chinese planes, they are above us!"

"Damn, they're so fast, there's no way I can lock them down."

The Soviet pilots shouted in horror, and the sudden attack launched by the fighters of the Chinese Air Force made them unprepared at all, so that they were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. In the opinion of these Soviet pilots, they would not be detected by the Chinese Air Force until they had flown over the Ural River. If the Chinese Air Force takes off fighters at this time, it will not be able to take off much at all. They can completely rely on the superiority in the number of fighters to defeat the Chinese Air Force in one fell swoop.

However, now the Chinese Air Force seems to know that they are coming, and has been waiting for them for a long time. So much so that they crashed into it stupidly. This time, the head that hit him directly broke the blood flow.

The same scene was encountered by almost every fleet of the Soviet Air Force. The Chinese Air Force seems to have known that they were coming for a long time and has been waiting for them. This directly led to the continuous shooting down of Soviet fighters. Expensive warplanes turned into fireballs and fell from the sky. Valuable pilots are constantly killed in air battles. ’

"The planes climb, pull up, and when they get back to the sky, they attack again." The squadron leader ordered.

The F9 fighters of the Imperial Air Force began to climb rapidly, preparing for a second attack.

The Soviet pilots were already in a panic. Because only a very small number of Soviet fighters were equipped with radio communication equipment, there were big problems with their command. The commander's orders could not be conveyed to every plane at the first time. This makes it difficult for them to launch a strong counterattack when they encounter a sudden attack command.

The Soviet pilots, frightened by the fighters of the Chinese Air Force, scattered and fled like frightened birds. The bombers they covered fled everywhere.

"Da-da-da-da." The fighters of the Imperial Air Force launched a second round of attacks, and this time only five of them were achieved because the Soviet fighters were scattered. But even then, only six Soviet fighters remained. You know, it's only been a few minutes since the start of the war, and the Soviets have lost a lot of fighters. Once these fighters are eliminated, the remaining bombers will only be reduced to cattle and sheep to be slaughtered.

"Each plane forms a two-plane formation, and then takes out the Soviet fighters as soon as possible, and then kills those bombers and completely destroys them." The squadron leader ordered.

There were only six Soviet fighters left, and all of them were old I-15 fighters. In the face of the F9 fighters of the Imperial Air Force, there was a huge generation gap at all. The Imperial Air Force still used a two-plane formation to deal with them, and the final result is naturally conceivable.

"Da Da Da!" A Soviet Il-15 fighter was shot in the tail, and the tail was directly cut off by the bullets of the aviation machine gun. The battleship lost its balance and staggered to the ground.

Although, the biplane has good circling performance and is suitable for grappling at low altitudes. However, in the case of too large a performance gap between the two sides, it is inevitable that one will be shot down in the end.

Just fifteen minutes into the battle, twenty Soviet fighters were cleared. Of the 12 F9 fighters of the Imperial Air Force, none of them were killed.

Immediately after that, the fighters of the Imperial Air Force began to kill the bombers of the Russian Air Force. Although the speed of these bombers was as high as 400 kilometers, fifteen minutes was only enough time for them to fly hundreds of kilometers. And because in order to evade the fighters of the Imperial Air Force, these bombers made a long detour. So much so that they simply did not fly over the intended target.

However, by this time the fighters of the Imperial Air Force had already killed.

"Knock knock!"

The 30mm cannon in the nose fired, and with a short burst, several shells flew out quickly, accurately hitting an SB2 bomber. The bomber had a basketball-sized hole blown out of its wing, which directly broke the wing.

After losing its balance, the plane fell to the ground in an instant, and a violent explosion occurred. The fuel oil and several hundred kilograms of aerial bombs carried by the plane itself are still very powerful after the explosion. It's just that because it didn't hit the target, it could only be wasted.

The F9 fighters of the Imperial Air Force, one after another, attacked these bombers. Although, the bomber body was strong, but it was too clumsy. It simply cannot compete with nimble fighters. The SB2 bombers of the Russian Air Force were armed with four 7.62 mm aviation machine guns, and the DB3 bombers were also armed with three 12.7 mm aviation machine guns. But alas, these machine guns had a small range of fire and almost all of them fired forward. For the fighters of the Imperial Air Force attacking from above, as well as from the flanks and rear, there was little threat.

The fighters of the Imperial Air Force used high speed to penetrate the rear of the Soviet bombers, and then launched an attack, easily shooting down the Soviet bombers one after another.

"Alas, is this the Air Force of the Russians? The strength is inevitably too weak. Fighting them is easier than training. Said a pilot of the Imperial Air Force.

"Isn't it just in our favor that the strength of the Soviet Russian Air Force is weak? We wish they were as weak as possible. That way, we'll be able to defeat them in no time. Another pilot said.

Soon, the pilots of the Imperial Air Force also eliminated these bombers of the Soviet and Russian Air Forces. Subsequently, they will return to the airport to refill and then reload ammunition. The bombers of the Imperial Air Force are about to launch a counterattack, and they need to escort the bombers. In addition, these pilots have not even had time to eat breakfast, and they need to go back to replenish some energy before they can continue to fight in the next battle. After all, airborne combat, especially air combat, is also very physically exhausting and energy-consuming.

Although the Russian Air Force dispatched a full 1,200 fighters and bombers to launch a surprise attack, their surprise attack had no effect at all. The Imperial Air Force, through the radar of the anti-aircraft search, had already discovered them. Therefore, the fighters that took off formed an interception network, which firmly intercepted the planes of the Soviet and Russian Air Force on the line of the Ural River.

As a result, more than 1,000 of the 1,200 planes of the Soviet and Russian Air Force were shot down, and the remaining 200 were all hurriedly dropped bombs and then returned home in disarray. And the Imperial Air Force lost only more than two dozen fighters. And after the pilot parachuted, they were all rescued. (To be continued.) )
