() All the me-262s that could fly took off. These planes circled in the sky and did not find any bombers. Instead, they encountered a fleet of about 70-80 P-51 fighters. Before going to heaven

, Marshal Spehler asked them not to fight enemy fighter jets. However, considering the situation at hand, it was very favorable. The JG-7 jet fighters still planned to do something.

At that time, 32 Me-262s of JG-7 discovered a group of P-51s at an altitude of 7,000 meters. The heights of both sides were basically the same. However, the flying speed of those P-51s at this time was no more than 400 kilometers per hour, and JG

The speed of the -7 me-262 at this time was as high as 730 kilometers per hour. At high speed, the me-262 had a very excellent climb rate. The wing leader, Colonel Johannes Steinhoff, decided to deal with this group of p-

51 fighter jets launched an attack.

Since the enemy had an obvious numerical advantage, Colonel Johannes Steinhoff decided to first use climbing to gain a height advantage, and then dive to attack the enemy aircraft formation. Try to get a single hit and never get entangled with the enemy aircraft.

Because the me-262 does not roll well, when it dives to attack an enemy aircraft, once the enemy aircraft turns sharply, it is difficult for the me-262 to keep up. Especially when the close rate of both sides is very high, this

The weakness was further amplified. As a result, the me-262's efficiency was quite problematic when attacking fighter jets.

However, the problem of a single aircraft can be made up for by teamwork. Colonel Johannes Steinhoff divided his fighter planes into eight four-plane groups. When attacking the fighter planes, they will first fire at the target that they originally planned to use against them.

Although the bomber's anti-air rocket is not suitable for attacking targets such as fighter jets, it can at least force the opponent to make an evasive action, more or less causing the opponent to lose some energy. Furthermore, it can also reduce one's own energy.

The payload can make your aircraft more flexible. Then you need to take advantage of coordination. If you cooperate well, if four aircraft attack a target, there is still a high chance of shooting down the opponent.

At this time, the opponent also discovered the me-262s of the jg-7 wing. At high altitudes, low-temperature water vapor will condense on the particles in the exhaust gas from the engine, forming an obvious track. The opponent's pilots are far away

It can be seen. In addition, the jet engine used by me-262 makes a loud and weird sound. The opponent can also hear it at a considerable distance. Therefore, it is very difficult for me-262 with a large fleet to sneak attack others at high altitude.

.

Colonel Johannes Steinhoff began to jump up and quickly gained the altitude advantage. The P-51 on the opposite side also quickly increased the distance between the aircraft, and instead of following the climb, it dived slightly, allowing its own

The speed increases, thus storing energy for subsequent dodges.

After completing the occupation, 32 Me-262s first fired anti-aircraft rockets at the Americans. 768 rockets rained down on the P-51 like a rain of fire. The scene was extremely spectacular. However, just like Germany,

As expected, the rockets passed through the P-51 fleet and failed to shoot down even a single enemy aircraft.

However, the Germans originally did not expect those rockets to hit anything. Immediately after the rockets, 32 Me-262s of JG-7 roared down.

Under normal circumstances, when an attack is launched, the first ones to rush are the veteran pilots. But this time, the JG-7 assault group was not arranged in this way. Because of the low roll of the Me-262, the first one to rush down was

Most of the time, fighter planes will not get good shooting opportunities, so the ones rushing to the front are all pilots with less experience, and the experts are ranked further back.

Second Lieutenant Som's P-51 was targeted by a me-262 four-plane team. He was a new pilot, and the round of fire-like rocket attacks just now shocked him. Although these rockets did not

It could hit him, but he made several large overload movements while dodging. This caused his plane to lose a lot of energy, and the speed of the plane was also significantly reduced.

At this moment, Som's P-51 became an obvious target. The experienced veterans of JG-7 immediately noticed him. So, four Me-262s rushed towards him.

With a sharp turn, Som avoided the attack of the first Me-262, but his sharp turn sent him directly to the muzzle of another Me-262.

"A rookie is a rookie, he always thinks about the head and not the tail when making dodges." Captain Stam fired in unison and shot a P-51 that he had sent under the muzzle of his gun into the air, and then returned.

If you're in the mood, I'll say this again.

In the previous round of attacks, JG-7's Me-262 shot down a total of 6 enemy aircraft without any losses.

Stam carefully pulled up the plane. This action must not be too hasty. Unlike the FW-190, if the Me-262 is pulled up sharply at high speed, it is easy for the engine to stall or even catch fire.

Things, and at this time, no matter what phenomenon occurs, it may be fatal.

Therefore, the rhythm of me-262 launching multiple rounds of attacks is much lower than that of fw-190. This also gives the attacker a chance to readjust.

When the me-262 pulled up again and seized the attack position, the p-51s were also ready to attack.

"The German jet has four 30mm cannons, which are very powerful. One frontal hit is enough to destroy a fighter like the P-51. Generally speaking, it is quite dangerous to face it head-on. However, its 30-mm cannon

Its range and speed are not as good as our 20-gun. Therefore, when you are at a disadvantage, taking advantage of your small turning radius and finding a way to fight it is actually a feasible option." This is Ron talking to the fighter jet.

The pilots mentioned it when they analyzed what to do when facing the me-262.

Now faced with the combined attack of Me-262, there will always be times when simple dodge is very tight. Therefore, Captain Sith ordered: "Stop simply dodging, prepare to confront them!"

So this time when JG-7's Me-262 dived down again, the P-51 below did not dodge left and right. On the contrary, they pulled up directly and rushed towards Me-262.

Regarding this situation, Stam is not too worried. He has considerable trust in the firepower of the me-262, and now he is diving while the opponent is jumping. With the help of gravity, the me-262she launches

The trajectory of the projectile will become straighter, while the trajectory of the opponent's projectile will become more curved. And the me-262 is also stronger than the p-51. So he feels that there is no need to avoid this confrontation.

The result was just as Stam expected. A 30mm shell he fired directly knocked the P-51 below into the air. But almost at the same time, Stam also heard the transmission from his fighter plane.

There was a "puff, puff, puff" sound. There was no doubt that he was also shot. Obviously, he underestimated the four 20-mm cannons on the P-51.

In a head-on confrontation, the power of the artillery shells is the greatest. If it is normal, if you are hit by a few 20-gun shells and you are lucky, it may not be the end of the world, but in the current situation, being shot is almost fatal.

Stam looked at his plane and saw that the right engine was already on fire. Stam knew that the engine could explode with a bang at any time and kill him. He had to rush before the engine exploded.

Jump out of the cockpit.

Stam unbuckled his seat belt and planned to climb out of the cabin and parachute. But at this moment, the engine exploded with a bang, and the wings broke into two pieces. The plane began to spin crazily, and Stam was seriously injured.

It hit the canopy...

In this round of confrontation, 6 more P-51s were shot down, but this time, the me-262 also suffered a lot of losses. 4 me-262s were also shot down, and one was injured. Although now

It seems that the result of the air battle is 12:4, and it takes the loss of three P-51s in exchange for one Me-262. The Germans seem to have the upper hand. But Colonel Johannes Steinhoff knows that this account cannot be calculated like this.

The me-262 pilots in the jg-7 wing are all aces, and the value of any one of them is far more than those American rookies. Such an exchange is really a huge loss.

"It would be great if we could just leave after the first round of attacks." Colonel Johannes Steinhoff had such an idea unconsciously.

But it was still too late to leave now. Colonel Johannes Steinhoff immediately ordered: "Retreat!" So the ME-262s took the initiative to retreat after passing by the Americans.

Of course, P-51 did not have the capital to pursue, so they could only watch Me-262 go away.

After landing, the me-262 needs to undergo a long period of maintenance before it can go to the sky again. This also means that when the bomber force appears, the me-262 will not be able to go to the sky.

This was exactly the result that Marshal Spehler needed. In his view, the sharp sword me-262 was far from being ready for immediate use. To this end, he and Adolf Garland, who specifically and directly managed me-262,

General De had a long conversation, hoping that he could continue to protect the sword after he abdicated until the moment when he could effectively counterattack.

"Marshal Catherine will also understand this. You don't need to worry too much about this." Finally, Marshal Speller promised him that he would convince Marshal Catherine to support this plan.

... Just as the me-262s landed one after another and were quickly moved to a safe location, the other fw-190, bf-109, ju88, bf-110 and other fighters and interceptors began to arrive one after another.

take off.

Commanders issued a call to pilots to "keep the enemy out of Berlin even if it is a collision." But this call is actually only effective for rookies with less than 50 flying hours. Until now, the war has only
