() The copycat version of the C-47 took off. Ron looked out of the window and saw several P-81 fighter jets lining up in a neat formation to escort the aircraft. The one closest to the window was a

There were twenty beauties painted on the fuselage of the fighter jet. It was squadron leader Harry's plane.

Speaking of which, neatly painting downed marks on the fuselage is a typical Soviet characteristic. This rather arrogant approach is not necessarily a good thing for the pilots themselves. It is almost shouting to the enemy, "You have the guts."

"Come and play with me" is the same. When you fight like this, you will receive special attention from your opponent, and the difficulty of achieving results will naturally increase. But this also has a benefit, that is, it can greatly frighten the enemy and boost morale.

When Pokryshkin took off in the Kuban air battle while driving his P-39 with red five-star painted on it, the German radio station was filled with exclamations of "Be careful, Pokryshkin is in the air."

.In the original history, Kuori Dubu, who was accustomed to flying the No. 13 fighter plane, also received the same honor. The Soviet radio station would call "Eagle 13" several times, regardless of whether he was actually in the air or not, so as to scare him.

Scare the Germans.

This act of heroism immediately influenced some American pilots. At first, they painted blue stars or smashed Nazi symbols on their planes. Later, they painted everything. There was a man who

The guy who claimed to be a love saint painted roses, and someone else painted red lips. Harry, who had studied art for a few days before joining the army, simply started doing something more difficult - painting Chun (River Crab) Palace.

This incident caused a little commotion at the time. At the beginning, Harry set an ambitious goal for himself. He decided to draw a new pose every time he shot down an enemy plane until he had collected 42 enemy planes.

Until he draws all the 42 Sanshou that he collected through various means. Some Soviet boys at the airport often come to his plane and drool in the name of maintaining it. Every time Harry comes back from a mission, he

A group of people gathered around to see if there were any new shootings today.

This situation made Harry very proud, but it aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Soviet political workers. These Yankees used the decadent ideas of the bourgeoisie to corrupt our soldiers. How could this be done? So these people held organizational meetings within themselves

, asking the young men to consciously resist the erosion of the decadent ideas of the bourgeoisie, and at the same time approached Ron and asked Ron to prohibit Americans from drawing chun (river crab) palaces on airplanes.

Ron himself also felt that Harry had gone too far. If he really made the future Edo 42 Sanshou become the Army Aviation 42 Sanshou, Ron's reputation would probably be affected. With his persuasion

, Harry reluctantly gave up his unfinished business, downgraded the Chun (river crab) palace by one level, and turned it into a painting of beautiful women. In order to be able to explain to the Soviets, these beauties must be so-called

"Art". For example, miniature copies of "Venus" and "Fountain". In this way, when the Soviets protest again, Ron can respond with "You don't understand art"

.In fact, in the eyes of the Russians, Americans are nouveau riche who lack artistic accomplishment. So this is the best way to deal with them.

Under the escort of these P-81s, the Li-2 transport plane flew steadily at an altitude of 4,000 meters. More than an hour later, the plane arrived over Smolensk Airport.

The transport plane began to descend in altitude, preparing to land at Smolensk Airport, while the escorting P-81s continued to fly westward, and their target was in Poland.

This time is different from last time. Last time, in order to achieve a surprise attack, the cluster adopted a low-altitude or even ultra-low-altitude penetration method. But this time, these fighters flew over from an altitude of 6,000 meters in a swagger. This was because Germany had previously

People have sent fighter jets to patrol areas that are difficult for radar to take care of. Once they encounter them at low altitude or ultra-low altitude and are attacked by them from a high altitude, even the P-81 with excellent performance will be difficult to guarantee a safe escape.

In addition, after the success of the first raid, the Germans would not be as defenseless again, so the P-81s now simply adopted the method of entering directly from high altitude.

…

At an airport in Poland, a large group of planes are preparing to take off. Today is a good day. The sky in late autumn looks particularly blue and high. There are no clouds at altitudes below 8,000 meters, only between 8,000 and 10,000 meters.

At a high altitude, there were only a few faint feathery clouds.

"Condor 3 requests takeoff!" Captain Vogts carefully checked the data of each instrument and sent a takeoff request to the airport tower.

"Vulture 3, permission to take off!"

After getting permission from the tower, Vogts released the brakes, and the me-262 began to taxi slowly on the runway. Vogts carefully controlled the throttle, and the plane began to accelerate slowly until it was almost there.

At the end of the runway, Vogts gently pulled the control lever. The nose of the me-262 gradually lifted up, and the front wheels first left the ground. The rear wheels of the aircraft slid on the ground for a while, and then gradually

It left the ground and flew up.

Vogts is the third Me-262 to take off. Behind him, more than ten Me-262s will take off one after another. Their mission is to protect the airport and intercept the Allied fighter jets that come to hunt.

Facts have proved that the BF-109 and FW-190 hovering near the airport were not enough to prevent the P-81 raid, so the Germans simply adopted the method of using Me-262 to protect the Me-262 on the airport. This approach actually has problems

A lot. First of all, the flight time of the me-262 engine is extremely precious. The overhaul time of each engine is only 50 hours. If used in this way, the cost is really... Due to the attack by the Allies, many strategic materials in Germany have now appeared.

Scarcity. For example, some metals needed to make jet engines are completely dependent on inventories. Such consumption is absolutely unbearable for the Germans. But the result of allowing the enemy to do whatever they want over their controlled areas

It is even more unbearable for the Germans. Therefore, the Germans hope that they can rely on a few attacks to inflict an unbearable blow to the enemy, thereby forcing the enemy to end this offensive safari.

This time, the Allied aircraft did not use ultra-low-altitude penetration mode when crossing the control line. This gave the Germans time to prepare, although on the eastern front, the Germans did not want to be as successful as they wanted on the western front.

The echelon-arranged warning radar network could not continuously track the target, but based on the information detected by a certain radar, the Germans could still roughly deduce the arrival time of the P-81 fleet, and let the Me-262 take off before then to fight.

The Germans knew that the me-262 was not very efficient against fighter jets. Due to its rolling flaws, even if it had the height and speed advantage, the opponent's fighter jets could still evade its attack relatively easily. So the Germans designed

A new set of tactics for hybrid warfare was developed.

This tactic is like this: use bf-109 and me-262 for joint operations. Both aircraft have problems when dealing with the p-81 alone. The bf-109 is too slow and has poor high-altitude performance. Compared with the p-81

, there is no advantage in climbing. When fighting against the P-81, it will be taken to a high altitude and bullied to death. As for the me-262, the roll is too bad. If it is not a sneak attack, it will be like holding a big iron.

Hammering flies flying in the air is basically a waste of effort.

But the combination of them is different. With its higher speed and good jump, the me-262 can effectively prevent the p-81 from spiraling. When the p-81 and the bf-109 fight together,

Me-262 can also rely on its speed advantage to continuously raid P-81. You can imagine that when you finally put a BF-109 into the shooting halo, you are ready to add another star to your fighter, or

When it is a rose, or a Mona Lisa without clothes, suddenly there is the sharp whistling sound of a jet engine behind you; or when a BF-109 is about to hit your 6 o'clock,

Normally, you can increase your horsepower and easily accelerate horizontally, throwing the BF-109 far away, but at this time, there is a damn Me-262 that keeps attacking you.

This forces you to constantly adjust your flight attitude, that is, constantly turning left and right. As a result, not only did the BF-109 not get rid of it, it even shortened the distance from you and could fire at you right away. You

How depressing it is to say this!

At present, the Germans do not have information about the specific location of the P-81 fleet, which makes it difficult for them to directly intercept the P-81 fleet. But the Germans still have a way. This method is called waiting for the rabbit. Anyway, the P-81 will definitely find some airports to go to.

, so the fleets performing mixed combat missions only need to stay over those airports.

The me-262 that took off first began to climb slowly. The climb rate of the me-262 was very good, but when it first took off, the speed was not high enough, and the power output of its engine could not change too fast, so now it can only

Climbing slowly. But as the speed gradually increased, me-262 climbed faster and faster. It didn't take long for Vogts to climb to an altitude of 6,000 meters.

Vogts rolled the plane more than 30 degrees, and then looked down from the side window. He saw some BF-109s also hovering at an altitude of about 4,000 meters. Now, the preparations were in place and they were waiting for the alliance.
