() Before dawn, the Soviet airport was busy, and fighter planes were already lined up on the runway. Although the visibility on the runway was not good due to the influence of morning fog,

The Soviet fighter jets still took off one after another.

The thickness of the mist in the early morning was not very thick. When the plane climbed to an altitude of more than 50 meters, its influence was no longer noticeable. The Soviet fighter jets then lined up and climbed to about 2,000 meters.

Height, now we can no longer climb higher, because if we go higher, they

will fly into an area full of sunlight, and the strong sunlight will illuminate their aircraft very brightly, while the ground is still dark at this time, so people can see them from a long distance. So after reaching this height

, the Soviets reduced the throttle, leveled the plane, and began to fly northwest.

After flying for about an hour, the fleet gradually lowered its altitude to about 100 meters. This was not to continue to hide in the shadow of the earth - the sun had risen and it was impossible to hide. It was because it was now far away from the US military airport.

It's not far away. The US military airport is equipped with alert radar. Only by lowering the altitude can we use the radar detection blind spot caused by the earth's curved surface to avoid radar detection and achieve the effect of a surprise attack.

According to the deployment before the exercise, the armored units assigned to them should have launched an attack at this time. Now, the Americans should be preparing to take off the aircraft, and their runway is already full of fighter jets and attack aircraft preparing to take off.

Walia was sitting in the leading P-39. She was now very close to the US military airport. She shook her wings to signal the fighters behind her to change formation, and then continued to lower the altitude to about 30 meters. Follow her.

The P-39s behind them also changed their formation from the Kuban frame, which was suitable for air combat, to a column that was more suitable for ground attacks. At the same time, a group of F6Fs that were originally following them at a distance also began to accelerate.

Soon, the American airport runway appeared directly in front of Valia. As the distance quickly approached, she could see a group of A-20s forming a team, as if they were ready to take off at any time.

"Attack! Attack! Destroy them all on the ground!" Varya shouted, while aiming at an A-20 that was about to take off and opened fire.

Unfortunately, this is just an exercise, and the P-39's 37mm cannon is loaded with blank ammunition. So Valia's favorite thing to see is that the enemy planes are churning with flames, flying fragments, and even breaking into two pieces.

The scene cannot be seen. However, Varya is sure that in the attack just now, she hit at least two enemy planes with 37mm cannons.

Valia pulled the operating lever, and the P-39's nose quickly raised. The P-39 is a very unique fighter. Unlike ordinary fighter jets, its engine is not on the nose but on the fuselage.

In the middle. This makes its center of gravity configuration completely different from that of ordinary fighter jets. When pulling the stick, the reaction of raising the head is particularly fast. The most common mistake for rookies who are not familiar with this kind of aircraft when flying this kind of aircraft is to pull the stick too hard.

As a result, the nose of the aircraft is raised too quickly, and the angle of attack of the aircraft is too large, causing it to stall.

However, in the hands of experienced players, this feature is no longer a flaw, but an advantage. The climb of the P-39 is not very good, but because it raises its head quickly, it can easily complete a vertical loop with a small diameter.

Just like now, Varya and her wingman quickly completed a vertical somersault and entered the attack route again.

At this moment, Walia suddenly discovered that there were only A-20 attack aircraft beside the American runway, not even a single fighter jet.

"Where have they gone?" Varya frowned her delicate eyebrows, beginning to think that there might be other variables in the matter.

…

Ron was on his way to the Soviet airport with a group of P-51s, and was now not far from the Soviet airport.

"The airport is under attack. The airport is under attack by the Soviets!"

"Hun, I just thought about stealing someone else's machine, but I didn't expect that someone is also a fox, and he is also good at stealing chickens. If someone takes the lead, he will probably be completely defeated." Let A-20 stay at the airport to do it.

It was Ron's idea to be ready for attack, because Ron felt that with just his sixteen P-51s, he would definitely be able to make the Soviet planes unable to fly. When the time comes, as soon as the reconnaissance planes dispatched find the target, these a-

At 20, you can eat meat without any hesitation.

Just when Ron was feeling annoyed, another voice came from the radio.

"Enemy armor detected!"

Needless to say, there must be nothing on the Soviet airport, so it would be better to attack their armored forces directly. Anyway, in order to attack the airport, the "Reverse Cross" fighter jets are loaded with bombs and rockets.

"Turn to enemy armored target!" Ron broke the radio silence and issued the command.

…

The command that Ron broke the radio silence and sent was too short and was not noticed by the Soviets. After all, the command was too short, and the radio monitoring technology at the time was still rudimentary.

There were no targets worth attacking at the American airport, but Varya felt increasingly uneasy. Where were the American fighter jets? This question became more and more serious.

"Perhaps, they are going to attack our armored forces now? American fighter jets can actually be used as attack aircraft!" This idea suddenly popped up. Walia shook his head fiercely, as if to think

This thought was thrown out of my head. However, even if I rushed to the armored forces now, it would probably be too late, and the range of the P-39 aircraft would not allow her to fly there to perform missions.

Varya thought for a while and ordered: "All F6Fs fly to Area B, and P-39s return to refuel!"

The f6f has a greater range and can fly over armored forces and stay briefly to provide ground troops with protection for a period of time.

The eight F6Fs turned to Area B, while Varya began to return with the remaining P-39s.

But at this moment, she heard a voice coming from the radio: "Our army was attacked by an enemy air attack. Where are the fighter jets?"

…

When Ron led 16 P-51 fighters to the location pointed out by the reconnaissance plane, he saw a yellow dragon rising from the ground in the distance. It was a long marching column, tanks, armored vehicles, and Dodges

Ten-wheel trucks, one after another, drove up the dust on the unpaved road in the exercise area.

"Prioritize using rocket eggs to attack tanks and armored vehicles!" Ron gave the order. Then 16 P-51s quickly changed into a column and rushed towards the convoy along the direction of the road.

The convoy's anti-aircraft firepower also began to fire at Ron and the others.

Ron first launched an attack on the first two tanks. The 20mm cannon was unable to destroy targets like tanks, but under the wings of Ron's P-51, there were still 6 rocket counterweights hung for exercises.

Ron shot them all out in one go in a simulated firing method. The hit accuracy of the rockets was not high, so even at a very close distance, Ron could only rely on firing in this way to ensure a hit.

After completing the launch action, Ron made a 45-degree roll to the left, coupled with a pull rod, the aircraft pulled an oblique somersault upward to the left. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ron dropped the aircraft hanging under the wing.

of counterweight.

At this time, the armored troops under attack began to drive off the road and into the wilderness nearby, trying to avoid the attacks of US fighter jets. However, the US fighter jets were not so easy to escape. They took turns roaring down and firing fiercely at the convoy.

…

The F6F sent by Valia failed to help the armored troops. When they arrived, Ron and his friends had already completed the attack on the armored troops on the ground and were flying back.

A day later, the photo in the camera gun was read:

All 12 red team A-20s were destroyed on the airport. During the attack on the airport, one blue team P-39 was judged to have been shot down, and the other five aircraft were judged to be injured.

Among the blue team's armored forces, 21 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, and 40 trucks were destroyed. This number just exceeded 50% of the number of tanks owned by this force.

According to the previously set rules, the red side won. However, both sides were very dissatisfied with their performance in this battle. So, they held another meeting in their respective conference rooms to check problems, find gaps, and find solutions.

stand up.

…

"The problem this time is mainly my responsibility. I underestimated the proactive spirit of my opponent. In fact, after spending so much time with those guys, I have understood that they are a group of animals full of desire to attack.

But I still ignored them taking the initiative to attack

It's possible that I only wanted to have sex with others, but ended up being fucked by others. I think maybe I took advantage too many times before, so I relaxed my vigilance." In the "Reverse Cross" conference room, Luo

En is sincerely self-criticizing.

"The captain is right. In fact, not only the captain, but also ourselves, I'm afraid we all have this problem."

"I've been away from the battlefield for a long time, and I've been bullying the rookies here all day long. The result is like playing chess with MacGe'a (referring to chess here). The more you play, the worse your level becomes."

"Tch, you're talking like you're really an international master, and you're not just a bad chess piece? Last time we faced that Russian one-eyed guy, wasn't he killed to pieces? He's not necessarily better than me!" MacGea was immediately unconvinced.

"Besides, people have also said that our levels are not much different."

"That's not because I was dragged down by you. If I hadn't played chess with a stinky chess player like you for half a year and got infected by your stench, even if I couldn't beat the Soviet, I wouldn't have lost so miserably! I'll try again in the future

I can’t play chess with a guy like you anymore! Even if I play against myself, it’s better than playing against you!”

"Well, I wish you to become the next Dr. B (the character in Zweig's "The Story of Chess" who played chess with himself for a long time and eventually suffered a schizophrenia)!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, we are discussing the problem!" Although the crooked building has almost become a "reverse cross" tradition during the discussion, but still crooked building after suffering such a big loss, this is a bit...

What happened? Ron was even wondering if it was time to launch a rectification movement.

Fortunately, the subsequent discussions were back on track. When the meeting was about to end, Boynton made another suggestion:
Chapter completed!
