() Taking the third option and directly attacking the bottom attack aircraft group actually has another advantage, that is, the flying altitude of the A-20 attack aircraft is much higher than the il-2 commonly used by the Soviets. The il-2

The flying height is often only about 50 meters, and it is easy to hit the ground when diving to attack them. But although the American A-20 is called an attack aircraft, it is actually more like a light bomber, flying at a height of 1,000 meters.

This gave the Americans plenty of room to dive.

Ron's fleet is now flying more than 200 meters higher than the highest-level Soviet fighter jets. There would have been a chance to peel the onion layer by layer. But this would give the A-20 the opportunity to attack the ground. And

, Ron is now equipped with a P-51 fighter jet, whose control capabilities at high speeds are unparalleled in the world.

"Execute Plan A!" Ron gave the order, and at the same time, with a 180-degree roll and a lever, his P-51 fighter jet roared down immediately.

Behind him, the remaining 15 P-51s also dived down.

Before going to war, Ron and the others formulated two plans to directly attack the underlying targets, namely Plan A and Plan B. The so-called Plan A is actually a wave. The so-called Plan B is also called a fishing plan. In this

In the plan, the 16 P-51s will be divided into two groups. The first group will attack first. When they finish their attack and start to climb, causing their speed to drop, the Soviets will definitely take this opportunity to rush over and attack them. At this time,

The remaining eight P-51s still on the high ground will swoop down and follow behind.

If the attack plane at the bottom was the shameless IL-2, Ron would definitely choose this plan because it is more stable. But now, the ones below are all A-20s, and they are flying at an altitude of 1,000 meters.

In addition, the Soviets also adopted the double-height escort tactic. If plan B is implemented, the F6F placed by the Soviets on the highest level will become a slingshot behind the oriole.

However, if you choose to implement Plan A, the Soviet design will have a problem: that is, if the Soviet fighter jets at the top want to wait for the swooping American fighters to climb, they must let the 16 American fighters attack the ones below.

The A-20's first round of attacks. Considering that the A-20s are all rookies, but those who attack them are aces. Such a round of attacks may cause heavy losses to the A-20. But if these F6Fs follow the United States

If they rush down together with their P-51s, they will face the problem that their control at high speeds is far inferior to that of their opponents. Therefore, at this time, the best plan is the plan A, which seems a bit futile.

With the help of gravity, even without the traction of the propeller, the speed of the aircraft is constantly rising. In order to control the speed, Ron has minimized the throttle valve, but the speed of the aircraft still quickly reached 750

About ten kilometers.

At this speed, the plane began to shake, and at the same time, Ron also saw that the Soviet fighter jets also pounced down.

Ron rushed over from the 3 o'clock direction of the A-20 formation, and the sun was behind him at this time. Although the A-20's tail machine gunners were firing wildly, it was almost impossible for them to carry out effective attacks due to the interference of the sunlight.

slap.

Ron pressed the firing halo a little in front of an A-20, and then opened fire. Due to the shaking of the aircraft, the spread of the shells at this time would inevitably be much larger than usual. If you want to shoot down the enemy, you need more shells.

So Ron changed his previous habit of only firing, and fired about one-third of the shells at the target in one go. This should ensure a kill.

At this time, Ron's fighter jet had already rushed into the A-20 fleet. He made a barrel roll to avoid the fire of several self-defense machine guns that were firing at them, and also completed a turn.

And his fighter plane passed through the A-20 group and continued to rush downward.

After getting out of the A-20's fire threat range, Ron began to struggle to pull up the plane. The huge overload pressed him tightly into the seat, and Ron felt as if an elephant was sitting on his belly.

At the same time, the tip of his nose began to tingle, and the scenery in front of him began to darken.

At first, it was just like the sun was suddenly blocked by a dark cloud, but immediately, the darkness turned into darkness, and everything was dark. Only the front was slightly brighter, and something could be seen vaguely. At the same time, his

My thinking seemed to have become slower, as if it had been frozen.

Everyone who knows about flying knows that this state is called black vision. It is caused by the fact that under heavy overload, most of the blood in the pilot's body is pressed to the legs, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. As long as the overload is reduced,

It will be restored soon.

Just like now, the black fog in front of Ron's eyes was quickly dissipating. Just as Ron expected before starting this large overload maneuver, the unprotected belly of the A-20 fleet appeared in front of him.

, and getting closer and closer to him.

Just when Ron was about to fire again, the wingman's warning suddenly came to his ears: "01, 3 o'clock direction!"

Ron didn't have time to fire at the A-20 again, or even look to the 3 o'clock direction, so he immediately made a barrel roll. Then, he saw a P-39 coming from in front of him at an extremely high speed.

Passed by in a flash.

The pilot sitting in the cockpit of this P-39 was Valia. She just found an enemy fighter plane preparing to attack the A-20 formation. She pounced from the side, intending to attack this guy.

A fierce blow. Just due to the high speed brought by the dive all the way, her plane shook violently. This made the precise shooting that she was best at extremely difficult. She had to get close enough to be sure of a hit.

Cannons destroy opponents.

It's just that the opponent was too cunning. Just when Varya was about to fire, the guy suddenly made a barrel roll. As a result, Varya's attack failed, and because the distance was too close, she did not attack again.

The opportunity came and could only pass by.

However, Varya's attack was not meaningless. Because of her attack, Ron had to give up the opportunity to continue attacking those A-20s.

At this time, the American P-51s had basically completed an attack on the A-20s, and then they were entangled with the P-39s and F6Fs that swooped down behind them.

At this time, the situation began to turn against the Americans. After completing the first round of attacks and then quickly pulling up for the second round of attacks, the Americans' P-51 lost a lot of energy and dived down at this time.

The Soviets already had an energy advantage.

These Soviets are veterans, which gives them an energy advantage, and the following battle becomes difficult. The Soviets skillfully used high and low skills to attack the Yankees over and over again. The Yankees

Of course they won't be captured without hesitation. They also have a speed that is not low now. By relying on the high-speed state,

With unparalleled over-control in the state, the Yankees did not have no chance to fight back. However, at this time, the first target in the Yankees' minds was not the Soviet fighter jets. Their first target was still those A-20s, and the Soviets'

The first goal is also not to shoot down the Yankees, but to save those A-20s.

So a strange situation emerged: sometimes, the Soviets made mistakes, and because they were eager for success, they gave the Americans a chance to counterattack. However, the Americans did not immediately use this opportunity to counterattack, but seized the time to attack

Those A-20s that had not yet dropped their counterweights. Sometimes, the Soviets had a perfect opportunity, but in order to prevent American aircraft from firing at the A-20s, they had to attack in advance. As a result, the Yankees died.

escape.

Due to the chaos of the scene, when the battle ended, both sides had no idea of ​​the outcome of the battle. The specific results could not be obtained until all the photos from the camera guns were developed and then studied in detail.

The staff department was busy until a week later, when the result was finally announced. In this round of confrontation, the Americans successfully shot down all 12 A-20 attack aircraft, of which 9 were shot down in the first round of attack alone.

An A-20 was shot down.

In addition, the Americans shot down 3 Soviet fighter planes in subsequent air battles with the Soviets. As for the Soviets, they shot down 11 of the 18 American fighter planes, of which Varya shot down 4 alone, almost

Became a single day ace.

But such a result is of little significance to Walia, because according to the rules of the game, the Americans won an undisputed victory.

However, the Soviets were not immersed in the sorrow of defeat, at least not Kotin. In his view, Varya made another empiricist mistake this time and copied domestic experience mechanically, which led to the failure of the match against him.

It is not necessarily a bad thing. Although this result may make the superiors a little dissatisfied, during this period

During this time, through communication with American personnel, he systematically compiled a set of process structures for building simulated enemy forces. Based on this alone, it was impossible for his superiors not to appreciate him. What's more, just in the past few days, he

One thing was finalized with the Americans, that is, Soviet pilots can participate in high-altitude interception and anti-interception training.

High-altitude large-scale combat has always been a weakness of the Soviet Air Force. (Who said that neither the Soviet Union nor Germany had good high-altitude bombers?) Being able to participate in this kind of training and understand the details of US strategic bombing, Kotin believes that this is very important for the Soviet Union.

Future air defense is of far-reaching significance.

In Ron's view, the tactic of box formations and fighter jets following close escorts is actually not a good tactic. He already has a much better tactic than this. So give the Soviets something that is about to become obsolete.

Looking at it a bit, it actually doesn't matter. After all, we are allies, right? Besides, showing the Soviets a powerful strategic air force and deterring their opponents is not necessarily a bad thing.

Moreover, Ron has no intention of really staying in the U.S. Army Air Forces or the future Air Force. What will happen if the time comes to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea? You can’t bring the U.S. Air Force to fight the volunteers? Maybe like General Doolittle, war
