() Six 20-gun guns weaved a fire net. A BA349 crashed into this big net and was immediately torn into pieces by the gunfire. But not every pilot can shoot as accurately as Ron.

, In this round of interception, some BA349s were shot down, but more BA349s successfully passed through the fire net and continued to pounce on the bombers below.

Ron rolled, then pulled the stick fiercely into a dive, and continued to bite behind those ba349s. But obviously, his current speed was obviously not as fast as the ba349s diving down from high altitude, so the distance between the two sides was obviously increasing. Fortunately, from top to top

When firing, the range of the 20-gun shot increased significantly. So Ron still had time to shoot a small shot at the enemy from a distance.

It's a pity that the P-81 is not like the P-38. Its cannons are mounted on the wings instead of the nose. This makes its hit rate significantly lower than that of the P-38 when firing at long-distance targets.

That's what happened to this long bullet. The tracer bullets flew past the target, but not a single bullet actually hit it.

However, this kind of shooting is not without effect. When a rookie is hit by a fire, he will always subconsciously make some large overload movements, and this kind of movement will cause the speed of his aircraft to decrease. In this way

, the originally growing distance between Ron and him began to stabilize, and even began to get closer.

But at this time, the BA349 was already very close to the bomber group, and was about to enter the optimal attack distance. In order to interfere with the German fire, Ron fired another short shot.

Perhaps because the distance was a little closer, one or two of the shells fired from this short point hit the enemy aircraft. However, the power of the shells hitting from the 6 o'clock direction was always the smallest. The BA349 had run out of fuel again.

The engine and other things in the rear half of the fuselage actually played the role of bulletproof armor at this time. The damage of these two shells to the ba349 was actually quite limited.

However, the sound of the shell hitting frightened the rookie, so that he irrationally made a large overload action. And then, well, it was tragic that the completely wooden short wing of his ba349 could not withstand such a situation.

With such force, one wing instantly broke into two pieces. Then the plane rolled and fell.

Although Ron had not shot down a particularly large number of fighter planes, it was still quite a lot. However, this was the first time he wanted to scare off enemy planes like this.

Of course, not every ba349 will be frightened by the P-81 chasing behind and break its own wings. But they must all feel the pressure from the 6 o'clock direction. In addition, the rearward vision of ba349 is poor.

1b. When being attacked, it is basically impossible for a pilot to see the position of the opponent behind him relative to himself. This point further aggravates the fear of rookies when being attacked. And this fear also directly affects them.

Attacking bombers

The efficiency of attacking. In addition, the skills of rookies are not that good, so in the end, their attack efficiency can be imagined. (Of course, even an experienced bird bites a piece at 6 o'clock.

When an enemy fighter jet with powerful firepower is attacking the target in front, the efficiency will not be too high.) The rockets they fired at random only hit one, and it only hit a non-lethal position——

A section of the wing tip of a B-24 was blown off.

What followed was a massacre. The ba349 without power could not escape the pursuit of the p-81. In the end, all twenty-four ba349s were shot down. The p-81 suffered no losses. Ron added two more to his shooting record.

numbers.

After climbing back to an altitude of 8,000 meters, Ron and Harry continued flying towards Russia.

The transition of Ron and his fighter jets was not noticed by the Germans. In fact, this is understandable. When flying over Western Europe, there were thousands of heavy bombers and other fighter jets in the sky. Who would care too much about one of them?

The squadron's fighter jets? But in the skies over Eastern Europe, although there were fewer planes, there were also fewer ground radars, so no one noticed them.

After a 4-hour flight, Ron and the others were close to their flight's destination - Tula.

Ron turned on the radio, adjusted the channel to the frequency band agreed with the Soviets, and began to contact the Soviets. At the same time, they also began to lower their altitude.

About ten minutes later, eight LA-5FNs appeared at Ron's 12 o'clock direction. Ron saw that the plane flying at the front was covered with red five-pointed stars. The one following him

This plane is also very special. There is a big number painted on its fuselage - 13.

The la-5fn was one of the most outstanding fighter jets of the Soviet Union at that time. This fighter jet using the m-82 air-cooled engine was quite powerful at low altitudes. Both in speed and climb, it exceeded the German BF-109g and FW at the time.

-190A gave Soviet Air Force fighters a performance advantage for the first time in air combat. At low altitudes, the la-5fn was very good at circling, rolling, and climbing.

, and as a wooden aircraft, this light fighter actually has very good bulletproof properties (bulletproof steel seats to protect the pilot, self-sealing fuel tanks to protect the fuel tanks). If there are any flaws in this aircraft, it can dive.

Lack of performance is probably the most obvious problem. In addition, because there is no supercharger, this kind of aircraft is very good below 5000 meters, but once it reaches high altitude, it immediately fails.

However, on the Eastern Front, the high-altitude performance of fighter jets is really not important. Because whether it is the Soviet IL-2 attack aircraft, the German Stuka, or the hs-129 known as the "tank can opener", they all operate at low altitudes.

Moving planes and fighter jets fly high to intercept someone or escort someone.

?When the war just broke out, the Soviets had the MiG-3, the most advanced high-altitude fighter in the world at that time. However, this aircraft did not continue to develop. It even affected the development of the aircraft because it used the same engine as the IL-2.

The production of il-2 was unlucky, and Stalin named it and ordered it to stop production.

The Soviets also installed a supercharger on the la-5fn. As a result, the high-altitude performance of the la-5fn has been greatly improved. However, due to the increased weight of the supercharger, the low-altitude performance has declined. This

Improvements were considered to be superfluous, "reforms and retreats" that were not worth the gain, and had no further meaning.

The team of LA-5FNs began to shake their wings towards Ron from a distance, and Ron shook his wings in response. At this time, a voice came from the radio.

"General Ron, we are here to greet you."

"Thank you, comrades, for your hard work!" Ron said this out of nowhere. Unfortunately, the Soviets did not answer with "serve the people." They just responded: "Now, please follow us.

"

Then these fighter jets turned around and flew in front of Ron and the others to lead the way.

A few minutes later, an airport appeared in front of Ron and the others.

…

The plane has landed long ago. Now the American pilots and the Soviet pilots are chatting in the pilot lounge. They will fight side by side in the future, and it is very necessary to get to know each other now.

The Soviet Union sent a quite luxurious lineup for this force. Its Soviet commander was the great P-39 king and the father of Soviet air combat tactics - Alexander I. Pokryshkin. Basic tactics of Soviet Air Force fighter jets

, almost researched by him. In the original history, he personally shot down 59 fascist German aircraft and won the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union" three times. In terms of the number of shot downs, he was the third ace of the Allied Forces. But it was even more terrifying.

of

Yes, among the 59 planes he shot down, there were 23 aces. This guy can definitely be called an ace killer. And neither was the fighter pilot with a big 13 painted on the group of planes sent out to welcome Ron just now.

The fuel-efficient lamp, his name is - Ivan Nikitovich Kuoridubu. He did not officially join the war until 1943, but in the original history, he shot down a total of 62 German aircraft, which was the most in the entire World War II.

The Allies' top trump card.

However, the meeting of the aces is not like the meeting of the peerless masters in martial arts novels, where sparks fly with every look and movement. After getting off the plane, God blows, and everyone is just a mortal.

For example, the pilot Comrade Gulayev was arguing with the Yankees over whether the American or the Soviet Union was better at drinking.

"Compared to our vodka, brandy is nothing! Have you ever seen 95-proof vodka? That's what men drink!"

Ron knew that Comrade Gurayev was also a super ace in history. He shot down 57 enemy planes in total. It was said that the Soviets originally planned to award him a third gold star (Hero of the Soviet Union), but

Before being awarded the medal, he drank too much vodka, became drunk and made trouble, and ended up losing his third gold star.

At this time, lunch was served (because of Ron and the others, lunch was postponed to about two o'clock in the afternoon), with typical Russian taste: brown bread, bacon, and large pieces of butter.

Gulayev sighed: "Why am I not an infantryman! Damn it, as soon as the infantry comrades arrived in the army, they had public vodka. But as soon as I arrived in the army, my own vodka was confiscated!"

"It's not confiscated, Comrade Gulayev. It will be returned to you after the victory. By then, your vodka will have become an old wine."

"Comrade Pokryshkin, I know all this. But without vodka, how can anyone eat these black bread?"

In fact, brown bread is very nutritious, but it does not taste as good as white bread.

"Fortunately, it's still Russian black bread." Gulaev continued to grumble, "It's much better than German black bread. The taste of German black bread is really unpalatable! How else can people say 'from hell'

The chefs are all German'?"

"Is German brown bread that bad?" Ron asked.
