()The P-81 fleet easily distanced itself from the BF-109Gs and quickly climbed to a higher position. However, the German BF-109s did not continue to follow. According to the German air combat regulations, as a pilot

When they believe that the current situation is unfavorable, they can decide on their own whether to retreat. Obviously, the current situation is unfavorable no matter how you look at it, so the German pilots followed the regulations and chose the most reasonable approach-to retreat directly.

The P-81 took the initiative to widen the distance from the BF-109s, so when Pokryshkin discovered that the enemy did not want to catch up at all, but turned around and went home. This distance became the German

The magic weapon of self-protection - when the P-81s turn around and come back, the BF-109s must have disappeared.

Since he couldn't catch up, he had no choice but to return home honestly. But what Pokryshkin didn't expect was that in the serious air raids and air battles, he didn't lose even a single plane, but when he returned,

At that time, something happened.

When approaching the ground control line between the two sides, Pokryshkin sent a few teams to several nearby German airports to see if they could easily collect a few heads. However, the German airports near the front line were obviously

The vigilance was higher. The teams circled around and found nothing. Instead, several aircraft were damaged by ground fire. Among them, Kovalenko's P-81 was seriously damaged and rickety.

After flying over the military demarcation line, he fell headlong. Poor Kovalenko quickly jumped out of the parachute. He thought that after landing, he would be able to get help from his army brothers and he would be able to return to the airport soon. Who knows, damn it

, a gust of wind suddenly blew...and then, well, he successfully landed in a large minefield in the middle of the control area of ​​​​both sides.

In order to rescue or capture the pilot, the Soviet and German armies also engaged in a small but very fierce exchange of fire. In the end, with the support of aerial firepower, although Kovalenko was slightly injured, he still managed to survive.

It was considered to be snatched back.

However, Kovalenko is not the most tragic. The most tragic thing is Pokryshkin himself. In order to support the battle to recapture Kovalenko on the ground, he personally went into battle. After the battle was over, he flew back to the side.

While climbing, I was hit by several 85mm anti-aircraft guns. Yes, damn it, it was an 85mm anti-aircraft gun. This was the Soviets' own anti-aircraft gun!

An 85mm shell that hit directly cut off the rear half of the fuselage of Pokryshkin's P-81. Pokryshkin finally climbed out of the plane. Because the altitude was too low, the parachute had just

After opening it, the man fell to the ground. His left foot made a crisp sound when it hit the ground, and it was probably broken. Then, he saw a large group of infantrymen surrounding them in a noisy way, and those guys kept shouting.

Slogans such as "Hurrah", "Go ahead, Davarich, capture the fascist bandits alive", "Hands up, don't kill them". They almost made Pokryshkin angry to death.

The gang of guys came to Pokryshkin, and a private who looked like a child who was only sixteen or seventeen years old pointed a loaded gun at his chest and cursed: "

You damn fascist, why don’t you get up quickly and follow us!”

Pokryshkin almost fainted. Where did he find this? Could it be that he didn’t even recognize the Soviet Air Force uniform and the lieutenant colonel logo on his shoulder?

"Alyosha, don't fool around!" He held the gun in the half-grown child's hand with one hand and pointed the gun at the sky. It was a young man in his twenties wearing the epaulettes of a second lieutenant. He

Turning around, with a face full of shame, he stammered and said to Pokryshkin:

"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, we... we don't know... we haven't seen... we thought... you were..."

What else can be said? What else can be said? In a series of battles in 1941 and 42, the Soviet Union lost too many veterans. And the remaining veterans were all concentrated in those who performed attack missions.

sharp, with the title of Guards. So now some troops performing garrison duties, or even entire companies, do not have two veterans. Therefore, when they see an aircraft they have never seen before, they automatically

It is only natural to think of it as a German aircraft. What else can you say to these new recruits?

"Get a stretcher, my left leg is broken," Pokryshkin said.

…

In this way, the raid code-named "Joint Law Enforcement Operation" ended. In this operation, the United Air Force destroyed at least 83 German aircraft on the ground, including 15 jets. This was just for the

According to the statistics of aircraft destroyed on the runway and the apron, the Germans should also have lost a lot of aircraft in the hangar, but neither the Americans nor the Soviets were able to verify the number of losses. In the subsequent air battles, they again

Shot down 31 enemy planes. The United Air Force lost a total of 4 fighter planes, one was shot down by German anti-aircraft fire, one was shot down by its own anti-aircraft fire, and two seriously injured planes had to be shot down because they could not lower their landing gear.

They chose to hover in the air to use up the fuel, and then landed on the dirt runway. As a result, the pilots were fine, but both aircraft were seriously damaged and the possibility of repair was completely lost. From now on, they will only be used for dismantling parts.

Obviously, this operation was a brilliant success. The United Air Force received commendations from both the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time. At the celebration party for the ban on alcohol, a large group of American and Soviet pilots were released.

…

But on the German side, the situation was different. In this attack, the losses of jets and pilots reached an intolerable level. After the war, according to records in German files, in this attack,

The Germans lost 36 me-262 jets and 26 experienced jet pilots. At the same time, such attacks also showed that the eastern sky was also very unsafe.

"We must take action to stop them! We can no longer let them do whatever they want! Can't we send bombers to blow up the airport used by those damn guys?" In the wolf lair, Hitler was roaring.

"Führer, of course we can do this, but simple bombing may not be able to completely solve the problem. We need stronger measures." An air force officer replied.

"What better way do you have?" Hitler asked.

"Dear Führer, Major Skorzeny of the SS has some new suggestions. He suggested to us that the problem can be solved through a paratrooper assault."

…

Skorzeny is the commander of the newly formed "Orningberg Force". The Military Intelligence Bureau of the German General Staff originally had a subordinate special forces code-named "Brandenburg". This team was established in 39

The performance was quite good in the Polish campaign in 1940 and the Western European campaign in 1940. However, due to the gradual increase in conflicts between Hitler and the officer corps, Hitler's trust in the Military Intelligence Bureau, which was affiliated with the General Staff of the German Wehrmacht, declined, which also led to

The status of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the intelligence system of the Third Reich subsequently declined. Many of its tasks began to be handed over to the Gestapo and the SS. In addition, in the view of the rather traditional German police officers, "special forces"

"Combat" is just a "sneaky and unmanly" thing. The "Brandenburg" troops are not taken seriously by the Wehrmacht.

In 1943, the SS Foreign Intelligence Service also began to establish its own special forces. This special force was named "Orningborg Force". This force is almost an SS replica of the "Brandenburg Force". In the "Boldenburg Force"

While the special operations represented by the "Landenburg Force" were getting less and less attention in the Wehrmacht, the concept of special operations became more and more popular among the SS. With the establishment of the "Orningborg Force", and their success in 1943

After successfully rescuing Mussolini in July, Hitler simply transferred hundreds of well-trained officers and soldiers who were still in the "Brandenburg Army" directly to the "Orningberg Army".

Skorzeny, who became famous for his successful rescue of Mussolini, is an adventurous guy. He is a big man with a height of 6 feet and 4 inches. When he was in college, he had a "duel" with a classmate and his face was...

There was a huge scar on his body. This earned him the nickname "Scarface". Now, with the substantial increase in strength in his hands, Skorzeny's ambitions have also expanded, and he is looking forward to once again

Attack to complete those seemingly impossible tasks. At this time, news of raids on several airports near Warsaw reached his ears. He immediately realized that another opportunity to make a difference was in front of him.

.

…

One evening two days later, a train pulled into a heavily guarded military train station near Kiev. A big man with an obvious scar on his face got out of the car first, followed by hundreds of people wearing camouflage and holding a kind of belt.
