German Air Force's eight aviation clusters can be said to be the main force this time. More than 2,500 FW-190 fighter jets alone have taken off. Adding up the remaining Dive Bomber and ground-attack Attacker, there are nearly two thousand.
However, Dive Bomber and ground Attacker cannot participate in air combat. Their air combat strength is too weak. Once they encounter the Russian Air Force fighter jets, they will be dead. Therefore, in the take-off sequence, the FW-190 fighter jets took off first, and then relied on their speed advantage to arrive at the battlefield first and clear out the Russian Air Force fighters.
Dive Bomber and anti-ground Attacker, after being loaded with bombs, their flying speed is relatively slow, and they will rush to the battlefield later. If everything goes well, Russian Air Force's fighters will be almost wiped out by German Air Force. At that time, they only need to launch an attack on Russian Air Force's airport under the cover of fighter jets.
"Attention, squadrons, attention, squadrons! We are about to encounter Russians. We must kill them within half an hour and clear this airspace!" Squadron Leader, a Fighter Group, ordered.
"Understood, sir!" the squadron captains of each squadron replied one after another.
A few minutes later, they encountered Russian Air Force fighter jets in the air. German Air Force's FW-190 fighter jets threw away the auxiliary fuel tanks and bombs hanging under the wings. These will become a burden in air combat, thus affecting the performance of the fighter jet.
"Russians's new plane? I've never seen it before!" said a German military pilot.
This was the first time they encountered the Russian Air Force Yak-1 fighter jet.
"This is the Yak-1 fighter jet newly equipped by Russians. Compared with the aircraft used before Russians, its performance is a bit more powerful. However, the data of this aircraft has been distributed to each squadron before. Does everyone know how to deal with this new aircraft?" Squadron Leader asked.
After confirming that Russian Air Force was equipped with the Yak-1 fighter jet in advance, Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire disclosed the relevant performance of the Yak-1 fighter jet to German Air Force in the name of the intelligence agency, and asked the Air Force to summarize a set of tactics specifically targeting the Yak-1 fighter jet. In this way, the pilots of German Air Force will know how to deal with this kind of aircraft.
"Understood, sir!" the pilots replied one after another.
"The Germany people are here, shoot them all down!" Regimental Commander, the aviation group of Russian Air Force, also discovered the fleet of German Air Force and issued the order.
"Yes, Comrade Regimental Commander!" Perhaps because of the new aircraft, the pilots of Russian Air Force also had great confidence, thinking that they could compete with German Air Force.
The battle began immediately, with dozens of aircraft from both sides fighting in this airspace.
The Yak-1 fighter's ultimate speed is only 600 kilometers, which is much lower than the FW-190 fighter equipped with German Air Force. In terms of weapons, the Yak-1 fighter jet is equipped with two 12.7 mm aviation machine guns and a 20 mm cannon. Although it is still relatively weaker than the FW-190 fighter jet. But overall, it's pretty good.
"Dong dong dong!"
A FW-190 fighter jet took advantage of its speed to throw away a Yak-1 fighter jet, circled behind the opponent, and launched an attack.
Several cannon shells roared towards the Yak-1 fighter jet.
The Russian pilots were also experienced and immediately controlled the plane to roll, trying to avoid these shells. However, it failed. A 20mm cannon shell hit the tail of the Yak-1 fighter jet, blowing up the entire tail.
The plane immediately lost its balance and fell to the ground. However, soon a white flower bloomed in the sky. This is a Russian pilot parachuting. The airspace involved in the battle is an area controlled by the Russian army. Therefore, after parachuting, the possibility of them being rescued is also very high.
However, the pilot of German Air Force is far more ruthless than they imagined.
The pilot of German Air Force immediately flew the plane down and aimed at the parachute.
"Da da da!"
The aircraft's machine gun fired, and the parachute was riddled with bullet holes and almost useless. The Russian pilot quickly fell to the ground and turned into a pulp.
After the intelligence agency of Germany learned that Russia would execute all captured German military pilots, the pilots of German Air Force had an unwritten rule, that is, in an air battle, even if the Russians aircraft was destroyed, their pilots would never be spared.
After all, pilots are more valuable than airplanes. Once the aircraft is lost, it can easily be produced. However, if the pilot is dead, it will not be so easy to add more. A qualified pilot is not so easy to train.
This is also the reason why Russian Air Force has been silent for a long time and avoided fighting with German Air Force. They would rather give up air supremacy to German Air Force, but also want to keep their excellent pilots as much as possible. Once those outstanding pilots lose too many, Russian Air Force's strength will become weaker and weaker.
This time, facing German Air Force's massive attack, Russian Air Force had no other choice but to bite the bullet and fight. Of course, they also know that this will inevitably cause increasing losses to the pilots of Russia.
"Yakov, you are bitten, dive away quickly!" A reminder came from the wingman in the earpiece of a Russian pilot.
"Hell, I want to get rid of it too! But German aircraft is too fast and I can't get rid of it!" the pilot named Yakov roared angrily.
Behind him, a German Air Force FW-190 fighter jet stuck to the back of the Yak-1 fighter jet like brown candy, making him unable to get rid of it.
The pilot of German Air Force, with the advanced performance of the fighter plane, was completely able to suppress the pilot of Russian Air Force.
"Da da da!"
The aviation machine gun opened fire, and the Russian aircraft was strafed with a barrage of bullets. The bullets hit the fuselage of the plane, leaving bullet holes one after another.
Soon, the wings of the Yak-1 fighter jet were shattered, and the plane plummeted to the ground. The pilot had no choice but to parachute to escape. However, there was still no way to escape. What was waiting for him was still brutally killed by the pilot of German Air Force.
German Air Force In this operation, more than 2,500 FW-190 fighter jets were dispatched, and the number of fighter jets that Russian Air Force took off was no less than this. Both sides tried their best to fight for air supremacy. A large-scale air battle started over Eastern European Plain.
