Chapter 1236 The Sky of Anatolia (Part 2) The appearance of two Chinese Air Force "Lightning" jets caused all the Germans at the airport to panic. Some ground staff were looking for bunkers everywhere, and some ground staff were looking for cover. The personnel went into fire-fighting work under the orders of the commander. The pilots tried to activate the few fighter jets parked on the runway. However, the German gunners who were originally sitting on the anti-aircraft gun emplacements did not react until the oil depot was destroyed, so they shook the small-caliber Anti-aircraft guns rained bullets into the sky. (Niu Wen Novel ~ Online Reading Novel) Shuttled through the rain of bullets, two "Lightnings" with the Chinese Air Force emblem painted on them once again launched a dense rocket attack on the German field airport, and then, under the "gift" of German artillery shells Next, the two "Lightnings" flew away, leaving only a mess on the ground. Since there were few aircraft at the airport, the damage caused by the air raid was not great, but what disturbed the Luftwaffe commander at the airport was that the airport was a newly built forward airfield for jets coming from Istanbul. Providing fuel and ammunition supplies, if these two "Lightnings" report the coordinates of this field airport to the Chinese Air Force base, then the German Air Force is likely to lose another forward airport. In order to prevent this worst-case scenario from happening, the German Air Force commander on the scene immediately decided to request reinforcements from another frontline airport to intercept the two Chinese Air Force "Lightning" fighter jets that were returning. The "Rock" Luftwaffe forward airfield is stationed with a fighter unit that has just been transferred from the North African battlefield. This unit is equipped with the Luftwaffe's best jet fighter currently, the TA183 "Crow" fighter. It may be able to compete with the Chinese "Lightning" Fight. After receiving the request for reinforcements, the "Alpine Rock" aviation base immediately took off two TA183 "Crow" fighter jets to intercept the two Chinese "Lightnings". Considering that the "Crow" was not as fast as the "Lightning", the German troops at the base The commander chose the nearest route for the pilot. If he was lucky, he might be able to intercept the two returning Chinese "Lightnings" in the east. He could only pray. After all, the Anatolian Plateau was very vast, and no one could I don¡¯t know whether the two Chinese "Lightnings" will change their routes. The two German "Crows" that took off were piloted by Major Steinhoff and Captain Marceau respectively. They both belonged to the 52nd Fighter Wing of the German Air Force. This fighter wing had fought in North Africa, and most of the pilots had accumulated rich experience. With combat experience, they are the aces of the German Air Force, while Major Steinhoff and Captain Marceuil are the super aces of the 52nd Fighter Wing. In the African battlefield, the two of them shot down 130 enemy planes respectively. With a record of 150 aircraft and 150 aircraft, most of them were British and American Air Force fighter jets. When the 52nd Fighter Wing was equipped with jet fighters, Major Steinhoff and Captain Marceuil were also the first batch of modified jet fighters. The two pilots once flew Me262 jets to fight against the US Air Force's P80 in the African battlefield, and achieved a record of shooting down nine aircraft each. However, before being transferred to the Turkish front line, Major Steinhoff and Captain Marceiu had never fought against the "Lightning" of the Chinese Air Force. They were eager to compete with this aircraft, which is known as the fastest flying aircraft in the world. For a head-to-head competition, for this purpose, they also changed the aircraft from the me262 to the ta183, because among all the jets currently manufactured in Germany, only the "Crow" has a flying speed close to that of the "Lightning". The "Crow" driven by Major Steinhoff and Captain Marceuil was equipped with the latest jet engine, and this engine was a complete imitation of the Chinese jet engine "Roar". The imitated prototypes not only came from the battlefield The recovered wreckage of the crashed aircraft also came from Japan's assistance. Japan purchased a simple version of the "Roaring" engine from China, and then transported several of the engines to the German-occupied West Africa via submarines, and then transported them back to Germany by plane. It was made locally and handed over to German aviation experts for careful study and imitation. In the end, the German jet also had a pretty good engine. Although compared with the original "Roar", the German version's engine life was shorter and the thrust was reduced, and In order to install the new engine, the "Crow" had to widen the fuselage and undergo modifications, but this "monkey version" jet engine will undoubtedly improve the performance of the "Crow" by a big step, making it faster in high altitude and level flight. It can reach speeds close to one thousand kilometers per hour. However, the current speed of the "Crow" is still not as fast as the "Lightning". Therefore, after taking off in the jet, Major Steinhoff and Captain Marceuil have been flying at the highest speed at the risk of burning the engine, but Without the guidance of ground radar, they had no way of knowing the exact location of the two Chinese "Lightnings". They could only rely on intuition to fly to possible airspace and pray that the Chinese pilots would not change their routes. Finally, after flying for fifteen minutes, Major Steinhoff found the target first, just a little short of it.??, the two sides will pass each other, and the goddess of luck seems to be waving to Major Steinhoff and Captain Marceiu. The two unanimously decided to attack at the same time. Each of them bites a "Lightning" and attacks freely. . Just when the two "Crows" threw away their auxiliary fuel tanks and entered the attack route, the two "Lightnings" of the Chinese Air Force also discovered two small dots flying from the north, so they immediately prepared for battle. He turned the plane's nose and flew towards the two unidentified planes coming from the north. Seeing the Chinese fighter jets flying head-on, Major Steinhoff and Captain Marceuil were a little surprised. This head-on attack tactic was too crazy. They could only avoid the firepower of the enemy planes to kill the front, so the two "Crows" "It made a high-altitude flip in the east and west directions, followed by a somersault, trying to get rid of the tail bite of the "Lightning" through flexible maneuvers. This tactic is correct, because the total weight of the "Crow" is greater than that of the "Lightning" "Small, the turning radius will also be smaller, and it will be more flexible in close dogfights. If the tactics are used properly, it is not impossible to shoot down the "Lightning", and there are already ace pilots in the German Air Force who have successfully used this kind of close dogfights. The tactics have achieved results. Major Steinhoff and Captain Marceuil have just been transferred from the African battlefield. They also very much hope to achieve results in their first battle with the "Lightning". But theory is always much easier than actual combat. When a somersault came down, Major Steinhoff and Captain Marceuil turned their heads and looked around, but were surprised to find that the two "Lightnings" of the Chinese Air Force had flown to nowhere. The two people hurriedly stabilized the plane and looked around, only to realize that the two "Lightnings" of the Chinese Air Force had flown to the east, and they were very fast. Why is this happening? The Chinese "Lightning" ignored the German "Crow" at all. This is not in line with common sense. According to the experience of other fighter units of the German Air Force, Chinese pilots rely on the excellent performance of the "Lightning" and have never taken German jets seriously. Even when facing the "Crow" with similar performance, Chinese pilots have never been timid. Their fighting will is as tenacious as that of their German counterparts, and their desire to win is equally strong. Perhaps there is only one answer that can solve the questions of Major Steinhoff and Captain Marceiu, that is, the two Chinese "Lightnings" may have almost run out of fuel. For this reason, the "Lightnings" are not willing to fight and will stop when they are good. , now that the German "Crows" have hurriedly started tactical maneuvers, there is no need for the Chinese "Lightnings" to pay attention to them. Just get rid of them and fly away. If they want to stay and fight the German planes, they must risk their fuel. The risk of exhaustion and plane crash is not worth it. After all, the "Lightning" is much more valuable than the "Crow". After understanding this, Major Steinhoff and Captain Marceuil were very annoyed. They felt that they had been teased by the cunning Chinese pilots, and the glory of Germany made them angry. They unanimously decided to catch up no matter what. . More fuel was injected into the engines of the two "Crows", and the temperature of the engines also rose to the point where they were about to be scrapped. However, the flying speed of the aircraft was indeed close to a thousand kilometers per hour. The two German ace pilots gritted their teeth and fought hard. to catch up with the two Chinese Air Force "Lightning" fighter jets in front. The efforts paid off in the end. Finally, after chasing for another five minutes, the distance between the two sides was once again reduced to less than two kilometers. However, this was already the limit of the German "Crow"'s capabilities, and subsequent efforts failed. In any case, the two Chinese "Lightnings" flew leisurely at a speed of just over a thousand kilometers per hour, as if they were deliberately attacking the German "Crows". "Captain, let's return." Major Steinhoff finally decided to give up. The technical gap cannot be made up by the pilot's wisdom or courage. After all, the "Lightning" made in China is better than the "Crow" made in Germany, Major I very much hope to have the opportunity to fly the "Lightning" to see how powerful this aircraft is, but for now, let's fly the aircraft back to the base first. After all, the German aircraft do not have much fuel. "Understood, Major, I'll cover you." Captain Marseille's voice also sounded a little frustrated. There is nothing more frustrating than being able to see your opponent but not being able to catch up to him. On the African battlefield, the captain has never encountered such a thing. The American-made P80 once made Captain Marseille very admired, but now, he finally believes in the words of the ace pilots of the friendly forces. Compared with the Chinese "Lightning", American p80 is "junk like jazz". The two Luftwaffe TA183 jet fighters reluctantly turned around and flew towards the west. However, just a few seconds after they turned around, Captain Marseille, flying behind, was surprised to find that the plane was heading east. The two Chinese "Lightnings" that were "escaping" suddenly also changed their flight paths.?, actually chasing the "crow" and flying to the west. "Major, we were fooled. They had enough fuel. They were teasing us," Captain Marceiu shouted angrily. "These cunning Chinese guys" Major Steinhoff also cursed on the radio. After the two Chinese "Lightnings" turned around, they quickly caught up with the two German "Crows" at their highest flying speed. In a short time, the German pilots realized that they could no longer escape from the battlefield. The only option was to fly like Just like when the two sides met just now, they launched a head-on attack with Chinese fighter jets. The two German "Crows" drew an arc in the sky, turned around and flew eastward, ready to give it a try. However, just after Captain Marceuil reported that he was ready to fire, Major Steinhoff suddenly heard There was a strange sound, and then he found that the pointer on the rpm gauge of his aircraft engine began to rotate crazily. Soon, the rpm of the aircraft engine's turbofan dropped to the stall level, and continued to decrease the rpm. Finally, with a strange moaning sound, the "Crow" piloted by Major Steinhoff finally stopped in the air. The engine was completely unable to provide any thrust for the aircraft. Then, the aircraft was like a broken wire. It plummeted to the ground like a kite. "Captain, I crashed" Major Steinhoff only had time to shout, and then he had to activate the ejection seat, ejected himself out of the cockpit of the aircraft, and lost consciousness. What happened next He had no idea about the matter at all.
