() This round of raids not only failed to take advantage, but also lost two jets. This result was really beyond the expectations of the Germans.

"The speed at which these enemy planes roll and raise their heads is really terrifying! It seems that even in high-speed raids, one must be extremely careful. The main purpose of the raid is to cover teammates and avoid head-on shooting with the enemy." Vogts also expressed his opinion just now.

Reflected on the battle.

To ensure safety during a raid, the angle of entry must be controlled so that the angle between the flight paths of both parties is as large as possible. Of course, doing so also means that it may delay the fighter plane and allow the enemy to have more control.

Long time to attack those bf

-109. Considering that the proportion of rookies among the following BF-109 pilots is quite high, this may cause them to suffer greater losses. However, in Vogts' view, it is better to let the rookies suffer some losses than to let the rookies suffer some losses.

The old bird even puts the ace at a disadvantage.

After the P-81 group pulled up after the attack just now, the BF-109s have basically completed leveling, and they are not lacking in speed now. Now they can dive directly. As long as the Germans are willing, they can also pull up directly.

, and p-

The 81s had a passionate shooting match. Of course, considering the firepower of the bf-109, if you use it to shoot against the p-81, you will probably suffer some losses. But the German aircraft have a numerical advantage.

For people, it is actually a good choice.

But Kozhidub did not intend to swoop down immediately. Air combat is a matter of life and death. A serious firefight may only last a few seconds, or at most a few minutes. But air combat is another matter.

It's something that requires patience. The advantages of position and speed all need to be accumulated bit by bit. Kuo

Zhidub felt that now he should find a better angle to strike. It would be best if, like just now, the BF-109s were all diving, and they automatically exposed the 6 o'clock to themselves. Kill from this angle.

If you go up there, the enemy will not be able to raise the nose of the aircraft to form a duel with you.

Moreover, Kozhidub firmly believed that such a situation would inevitably happen again, because he knew that the small fuel tanks of those BF-109s determined this. If the delay continued, those BF-109 fuel tanks would be emptied first. Facts

On the road, the condition of the German fuel tanks was worse than Kozhedub expected.

Since the arrival time of the P-81 fleet was slower than scheduled, this caused the BF-109s to take off prematurely, thus consuming a lot of fuel while on standby in the air. After that, they continued to approach the limit.

The climb rate increased, and the fuel consumed made people feel as if there was a hole in the fuel tank.

Sure enough, as expected, the bf-109 fleet began to lower its altitude again. But this time, they divided a large cluster into several small clusters, turned to different directions, and then began to lower their altitude at a shallower angle.

.

"Is this a swarm version of cross-scissors?" Kozhidub thought, "If I bite a group of them, they will turn to other enemy planes, and then those enemy planes will have the opportunity to shoot at us. But

There are still flaws in this trick. It actually just makes it more difficult for us to time our entries and exits. As long as we do this well, they are still just a piece of cake."

Kozhidub led the fleet of aircraft to slowly lower their altitude following the BF-109s, while observing the status of the enemy aircraft. The difference between a good pilot and an ordinary pilot lies in skill, and the difference between an ace and a good pilot lies in observation ability. Against the air

The grasp of air conditions directly affects the choice of tactics and the effectiveness of technical actions. The most fundamental reason why aces, and those super aces, can always win air battles with more reasonable actions is their mastery of air conditions.

Later in history, when the third-generation aircraft first appeared, the F-14 Tomcat of the U.S. Naval Air Force had a series of competitions with the F-15 Eagle of the Air Force. As a result, in this series of competitions, the thrust-to-weight ratio was higher.

, the F-15 Eagle, which has a smaller wing load and better climbing performance, was scratched by the Tomcat. The two sides played 15 games, and the final score was actually 14:

1 to win with an overwhelming advantage. Of course, there are factors such as the Air Force's stupidity to enter the f-14's advantageous speed zone and fight with the f-14, and the navy's shameless secret reduction of the f-14's fuel carrying capacity (the less fuel it carries, the aircraft

The lighter it is, the better its maneuverability will naturally be) and other reasons, but the fact that the F-14 has two pilots and has better control of the air situation than the F-15 is also an important factor.

Now, the me-262 is far away from the battlefield. Obviously, they are looking for an entry angle that can avoid head-on fire with the p-81. But at least for now, their threat to the p-81 is limited. Below him, the bf-109s

It is divided into 4 groups of aircraft, one of which is at the highest position and is about to pass by another group of aircraft. If we swoop towards this group of aircraft now, it should be at its most vulnerable when the two sides come into contact.

Once a decision is made, it must be carried out resolutely. Hesitation and hesitation in battle are as fatal as recklessness.

"Follow me, attack!" The P-81 fleet roared down again.

The group of BF-109s that was about to be attacked also found that they had become the selected target. The BF-109s in the fleet began to make various evasive actions. One of the planes attracted the attention of Kozhidub

.

Judging from the formation, it was a wingman. Just now, his lead aircraft made a turn to allow the incoming P-81 to appear in his field of vision. However, with such a turn, the wingman actually lost track of it.

, and suddenly rushed to the other side.

"This is definitely a rookie who has just joined the army." Kozhidub made this judgment. Rookies are always the first priority to attack. The reason is very simple. The success rate of attacking them is high. It also prevents the growth of a possible ace.

stand up.

Wolfe was really anxious now. He didn't expect that he would lose his wingman in such a simple action. In fact, this kind of thing is understandable. Rookies are always very excited when they go to the battlefield.

And being too excited too early will only make them panic when they actually face the battle.

Problems with the distribution of attention, focusing too much on one point and neglecting other things. For example, Wolff’s wingman Schultz, although his skills are not good, can’t be said to be unable to keep up with such a turn.

.Now Schultz was looking for his lead plane in a panic, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Kozhidub entered from the 5 o'clock direction, and with a short burst of fire, Schultz's BF-109 turned into a big torch. Then he gently pulled up the plane, and the sound of his wingman's cheers came to his ears:

"Eagle 13, good job! Another one!"

Kozhidub turned his head and observed the six points of himself and his wingman. As expected, he saw two Me-262s approaching from behind them.

"Eagle 14, be careful, there are jets behind you, hold the plane steady, and use B action to deal with them when they get close!" Kozhidub adjusted the attitude of the plane while keeping in line with the high-speed Me-262 coming from behind.

Visual contact, while giving instructions to the wingman.

"Understood, Eagle 13!" Kozhidub's wingman Somi is not a rookie. His number of combat flights is much higher than that of Kozhidub. In fact, there is not a single rookie in the entire United Air Force.

The Me-262 behind was getting closer and closer. Kozhidub stared closely at the enemy plane. Just before the enemy plane was about to fire, he suddenly pulled the lever and pedaled the rudder and made a barrel roll.

The rolling performance of the me-262 was extremely poor. It was impossible to follow this movement and had no choice but to rush forward. The German pilot who was fooled quickly made a nose-pressing and rudder movement-now the enemy

in his rear, likely to fire upon him,

He must make a dodge action. Considering his speed advantage, the opponent's shooting window is actually very short. In addition, although this dodge action is not big, it will at least interfere with the opponent's aiming. In this way, his whole body

The chances of quitting are still very high.

However, there was one thing beyond his consideration, that is, behind him was the terrifying "Eagle 13". Almost at the moment the enemy jet rushed forward, Kozhidub had it firmly on the ground.

He got into the shooting halo. Then he fired a long burst. Then, the left engine of the me-262 began to spit out blazing flames, and then with a muffled sound, the left wing of the enemy plane

Folded into two pieces.

"Good job, Eagle 13, another one!" Suomi exclaimed with joy. Just now he also successfully avoided the me-262's raid, but he failed to seize the opportunity to fire at the enemy plane.

, of course, not to mention hitting the target.

"Damn it! Another jet was lost! It was this guy again, and he was able to hit the first target in such a state. This is so unscientific!" Vogts was angry and scared at the same time.

"The rock cliff calls the eagle group, return immediately, return immediately! Don't tangle with the enemy anymore." At this time, an order from the airport came from Vogts' earphone. This order made Vogts relax all of a sudden.

.

"Go back, don't fight with the enemy planes anymore." Vogts turned the plane's nose and flew quickly towards the airport.

"Damn it, those jets ran away, leaving us with the top tanks!" When Wolfe found out that all the Me-262s had gone away, he shouted angrily. Now he had lost his wingman and had no chance of protecting him.
