Chapter 1427 Large-Scale Air Combat

The eight aviation clusters of the German Air Force can be said to be the main force this time. For the FW-190 fighter jets alone, more than 2,000 to 500 fighters took off. The remaining dive bombers and ground attack aircraft add up to nearly 2,000.

However, dive bombers and ground attack aircraft cannot participate in air combat. Their air combat strength is too weak. Once they encounter fighter jets of the Russian Air Force, there is only one dead end. Therefore, in the order of takeoff, the FW-190 fighter jets take off first, and then rely on their speed advantage to arrive at the battlefield first to clear the Russian Air Force fighter planes.

Dive bombers and ground attack aircraft, after being loaded with bombs, fly relatively slowly, and they will rush to the battlefield later. If all goes well, the fighters of the Russian Air Force will be almost cleaned up by the Luftwaffe. At that time, they only need to launch an attack on the Russian Air Force's airport under the cover of fighter jets.

"Attention all squadrons, attention all squadrons! We are about to encounter the Russians. We must kill them within half an hour and clear this airspace!" the captain of a fighter brigade ordered.

"Understood, sir!" The squadron leaders of each squadron replied one after another.

A few minutes later, they encountered fighter jets of the Russian Air Force in the air. The FW-190 fighter jets of the Luftwaffe dropped the auxiliary fuel tanks and the bombs hanging under the wings one after another. These will become a burden in air combat, thereby affecting the performance of fighter jets.

"A new Russian plane? I haven't seen it before!" said a German pilot.

This is the first time they have encountered the Yak-1 fighter of the Russian Air Force.

"This is the Yak-1 fighter jet newly equipped by the Russians. Compared with the aircraft used by the Russians before, the performance is a little stronger. However, the data of this aircraft has been sent to the squadrons before. Everyone knows how to deal with it Isn’t this a new plane?” asked the captain.

After confirming that the Russian Air Force was equipped with the Yak-1 fighter jets in advance, Emperor Qin Tian, ​​in the name of an intelligence agency, disclosed the relevant performance of the Yak-1 fighter jets to the German Air Force, and asked the Air Force to summarize a set of fighter jets specifically for the Yak-1 fighter jets. 1 fighter tactics. In this way, the pilots of the Luftwaffe can know what to do after encountering this kind of aircraft.

"Understood, sir!" The pilots replied one after another.

"The Germans are coming, shoot them all down!" The head of the Russian Air Force's aviation regiment also discovered the Luftwaffe fleet and issued an order.

"Yes, Comrade Commander!" Perhaps because of the new aircraft equipped, the pilots of the Russian Air Force have also greatly increased their confidence, thinking that they can compete with the German Air Force.

The battle began immediately, and dozens of planes from both sides strangled in this airspace.

The limit speed of the Yak-1 fighter jet is only 600 kilometers, which is a lot worse than the FW-190 fighter jet equipped by the Luftwaffe. In terms of weapons, the Yak-1 fighter is equipped with two 12.7mm aviation machine guns and a 20mm cannon. Although compared to the FW-190 fighter, it is still relatively weaker. But overall, it's pretty good.

"Boom boom boom!"

Taking advantage of its speed, an FW-190 fighter threw off a Jacques-1 fighter, circled behind the opponent, and launched an attack.

Several cannon shells roared and fired towards the Jacques-1 fighter jet.

The pilots of the Russian army are also veterans, and immediately maneuvered the plane to roll, trying to avoid these shells. However, it failed. A 20mm machine gun shell hit the tail of the Yak-1 fighter jet, blowing up the entire tail.

The plane immediately lost its balance and plummeted to the ground. However, soon a white flower bloomed in the sky. This is the Russian pilot parachute. The airspace involved in the battle was controlled by Russian forces. So after skydiving, they are very likely to be rescued.

However, the pilots of the Luftwaffe were far more ruthless than they imagined.

The pilot of the Luftwaffe immediately swooped down the plane and aimed at the parachute.

"Da da da!"

The aviation machine gun fired, and the parachute was so full of bullet holes that it was almost useless. The Russian pilot quickly fell to the ground and fell into a pulp.

After the German intelligence agency learned that Russia would execute all captured German pilots, the Luftwaffe pilots had an unwritten rule that even if the Russian planes were destroyed in air combat, the Their pilots will never let go.

After all, pilots are more valuable than airplanes. Airplanes were lost and could easily be produced. However, if the pilot died, it would not be so easy to replenish. A qualified pilot is not so easy to train.

This is why the Russian Air Force has been silent for a long time, avoiding engagement with the Luftwaffe. They would rather hand over air supremacy to the Luftwaffe, and try to keep their excellent pilots as much as possible. Once those outstanding pilots lose too much, the strength of the Russian Air Force will become weaker and weaker.

This time, in the face of the massive attack of the Luftwaffe, the Russian Air Force had no other choice but to bite the bullet and fight. Of course, they also know that this will inevitably cause greater and greater losses to the pilots of the Russian Air Force.

"Yakov, you've been bitten, dive and get rid of it!" A reminder came from the wingman in the headset of a Russian pilot.

"Damn, I want to get rid of it too! But the German plane is too fast, I can't get rid of it!" The pilot named Yakov roared angrily.

Behind him, a FW-190 fighter jet of the Luftwaffe, like brown sugar, stuck behind the Jacques-1 fighter jet, making it impossible for him to shake it off.

The pilots of the German Air Force, relying on the advanced performance of their fighters, can completely suppress the pilots of the Russian Air Force.

"Da da da!"

The aviation machine gun fired, and the dense bullets strafed the Russian aircraft. The bullet hit the aircraft's body, leaving bullet holes one by one.

Soon, the wing of the Yak-1 fighter jet was shattered, and the plane fell to the ground. The pilot had no choice but to parachute to escape. However, there was still no escape. What was waiting for him was still brutally killed by the pilots of the Luftwaffe.

During this operation, the German Air Force dispatched more than 2,500 FW-190 fighter jets, and the number of fighter jets launched by the Russian Air Force was no less than this. In order to compete for air supremacy, the two sides have tried their best. A large-scale air battle unfolded over the plains of Eastern Europe.
