Chapter 3097 The Red Sky (Part 2)

Just like an eagle preying on a baby bird, it is something that will never fail and is natural.

The Japanese army, which fought against the Guards Fighter Air Force for the first time, did not get any benefits in the end. They were shot down in less than ten minutes in a fierce battle in the air. The straight shot was shaved off by the elite led by Kozhidub, and the score was 16:0. Disgraced to grandma's house.

In fact, it is not surprising that such a result can be achieved. After all, there is not only the ace of Kozhidub among the fighters participating in the battle.

In fact, among the fighters that followed Kozhidub into battle, there were eight of them with more than 10 double-digit red stars painted on their fuselages, and all of them served as lead aircraft.

Although the remaining wingmen did not have such exaggerated achievements, they all had stars on their fuselages without exception.

In other words, what Kozhidub led was an elite Guards fighter aviation force, all of which had a record of shooting down.

Facing an opponent of the Kwantung Army's level, although it cannot be said to be pure entertainment, is not much different from a live-fire exercise.

With high-performance fighter jets and practical combat experience that can crush their opponents, it should be said that it would be outrageous if the Japanese army could make waves under such circumstances.

After dealing with the incoming Japanese fighter jets, Kozhidub was still hovering in the low altitude while looking at the burning wreckage on the ground.

The bomber fleet overhead was still flying in normal formation. The self-defense firepower of a total of three twin 23mm cannon mounts installed on the back, belly and tail of the Pei-8M was not put to use.

This self-defense firepower system, which was originally designed for the Figure 4 strategic bomber, happened to take advantage of the technical unfreezing and major upgrade of the Pei-8. The original design of the Pei-8 was modified along with the replacement of new engines and was installed on the aircraft.

Fortunately, a large aircraft like Pei-8, which is large enough in itself, has a lot of redundant space for upgrades and a high ceiling for modification. Although the twin 23mm cannon mounts are installed, it looks a bit bloated, just like the long fuselage on the back and belly of the aircraft. Like a tumor.

But these days' propeller heavy bombers don't pay much attention to aerodynamics. As long as the lift-to-drag ratio is high enough to fly into the sky and the speed is acceptable, it's just a bit of an eyesore.

As for the impact on the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft caused by the additional weight gain and abrupt shape, it is not worth the improvement in flight performance brought to the Pei 8M by replacing the new aircraft engine.

Therefore, even if it is equipped with heavier and abrupt self-defense firepower, the upgraded Pei 8M has still achieved a leap in flight performance, which is almost the best it can achieve based on the current technical level.

It just so happens that the Pei 8M can be regarded as the pioneer and pioneer test platform for Figure 4. The same power and self-defense system can ensure that the design of Figure 4 is more mature and reliable, and can form actual combat effectiveness at a faster speed after being delivered to the troops.

But then again, it was thanks to the Japanese fighter jets that they failed to break into the bomber formation and get close.

Otherwise, the self-defense firepower of "Youth Map 4" to hit the Japanese crispy chicken is basically the same as stuffing newspapers into a fully automatic shredder.

Seeing that the protected target above his head was safe and sound, Kuoridub, who had temporarily completed his mission, did not directly return to the large fleet of aircraft above. Instead, he swung the joystick in his hand and swooped down again.

"I'm going to say hello to the friendly troops on the ground. You return to the team first. Over."

"Received, please be careful, over."

He sent away the wingman who was cooperating with him and asked him to return to the team to continue escorting.

It was estimated that within a short period of time, there would not be a second wave of Japanese troops coming forward to die. Kuoridub, who had spared some time, planned to fly to a lower altitude to take a look.

Of course, Kozhidub also remembers every time he and Malashenko fought side by side on the battlefield.

There are very few people who can win the Hero of the Soviet Union three times. Looking at the entire Red Army, there are only 4 people so far. The opportunity to meet on the battlefield is even more rare.

Malashenko, who witnessed the entire air battle through a telescope on the ground, also saw a La-7 fighter jet breaking away from the fleet formation and roaring towards his location.

The first thing to do is of course to order the air defense troops to hold back. What comes from the sky is not a Japanese aircraft but our own hero.

It would be a good thing if someone with no eyes could knock Kozhidub out of the sky with a burst of sudden bursts.

Not to mention the person involved is unlucky, the old horse will also be implicated.

The troops of the three-time Hero of the Soviet Union defeated another three-time Hero of the Soviet Union.

If this thing spreads, it will probably make the enemy laugh to death in the toilet. It will be spread for thousands of years like "Dead Zhuge scares away the living Zhongda". There will be no problem in Comrade Lao Ma in the future, but I can't afford to lose this person.

"Is that Comrade Kozhidub's car? What is he doing here?"

Because it is so recognizable and obvious, Kuoridub's car can be seen at a glance almost wherever he goes, and he can recognize it with a quick glance.

Speaking of which, this is quite similar to Lao Ma's situation.

The cars of these two people are very recognizable in appearance, and they are both top aces in their respective combat fields. They are mobile morale boosters every time they appear on the front line of the battlefield.

Now seeing that Kozhidub had dropped to a low enough altitude and was flying quickly, Malashenko immediately replied to Lavrinenko beside him.

"Should he come to say hello? I guess so, otherwise there is no other reason."

Just as Malashenko was speaking, the No. 27 La-7 fighter jet with red stars painted on its fuselage was roaring over.

The flying altitude has been so low that it is almost dangerous. Malashenko's visual estimate is that it is less than 20 meters above the ground.

For a tactical aircraft maneuvering at high speeds, this is truly a feat of daring.

Fighters are not the type of helicopters that fly slowly and can be operated slowly. Even a propeller fighter like the Ra-7 can only fly at a low-altitude level flight speed of 600.

In addition, Kozhidub dived straight from a higher airspace, with altitude conversion speed, and the current level flight speed has exceeded 700.

A fighter jet with a speed of 700 kilometers per hour comes directly towards the door with a huge engine roar. This feeling is absolutely shocking.

Malashenko, who was not worried about any danger to himself and absolutely believed in Comrade Kozhedub's driving ability, just stood upright and felt the shock coming from his face.

Buzz——

A huge gust of wind roared past, and Malashenko felt that the big-brimmed hat on the top of his head was almost ripped off.

When I turned around, I saw that the No. 27 La-7 fighter jet passing overhead at low altitude was already turning, revealing the dense red star shootdown marks on the side of the fuselage, as well as three Soviet Hero Medal logos,

Many soldiers and commanders of the leading army who were already familiar with the name of Comrade Kozhidub saw this scene and immediately started to raise their arms and shout excitedly. The shouts of "Ula" came one after another. The scene was like a spoonful of ice water poured into the hot pot. The climax was reached instantly in the oil pan.
