Five hundred and eighteen Bf 109E7
Looking at the No. 214 fire vanishing in the air, Major Pisanko felt a little relieved and sighed that he was not as good as he was the commander. He was not calm enough in the face of the crisis and was a little slow. From the report of the correspondents, he discovered the enemy situation until the No. 214 fire took off and fell into the clouds, the Chinese colonel did not waste even a second of his time. This courage and efficiency made him far beyond his reach.
Just after the Spitfire No. 214 took off, Major Pisanko ordered the airport staff to hide the plane quickly. If the Germans were asked to find a large number of planes in the plane from a distance, they would make sure that for safety, they might take pictures from a distance and leave quickly, which would be a big trouble.
Even if it is discovered, the Germans have to be blurred and force them to fly closer to survey, and only then will the No. 214 Spitfire have the chance to shoot them down.
Of course, the best result is that German reconnaissance planes change routes in the air and go elsewhere.
The sun in late autumn is not hot but still dazzling, hanging in the sky.
The clouds in Moscow are very high and the air quality is very good. German reconnaissance planes can see far in the air. Such weather is very suitable for reconnaissance. They can not only detect Soviet interceptors in advance, but also take clear photos and take them back, screening out missing enemy situations that the investigators cannot see.
The crowd on the ground watched the No. 214 spitfire lifting and jumping one after another, and set up an ambush in the clouds hidden at high altitude before the German reconnaissance plane discovered it. When they were amazed, Zhou Zhihan used the cover of the clouds. The No. 214 spitfire continued to lift and jump between the clouds, increasing the growth rate and accumulating energy, and detoured to the right side of the route flying in the German reconnaissance plane, which was just facing the sun.
According to normal tactics, the No. 214 Spitfire should be hidden in the clouds facing the sun. When the German aircraft arrives, it uses the advantages of the sun to dive in.
This is the basic common sense of air combat.
But Zhou Zhihan knew very well about German pilots.
The air combat tactic of facing the sun, using the sun to shine on the enemy's eyes and launching a sudden attack on the enemy was made by the Germans, so the old birds of the Luftwaffe naturally had a way to crack the trick they created, which was to frequently view them from the corner of their eyes and face the side of the sun.
After practical and repeated research, the Germans knew that when the fighter jets faced the sun, the back of the plane would inevitably reflect light, and pilots could quickly discover reflective points with the light from the corner of their eyes.
It's like drawing a sketch. If you want to see whether its five-toned light and dark tunes are in place, experienced painters will always take a few steps back and squint your eyes to check.
In other words, the most vigilant of the experienced German reconnaissance pilots will be placed behind him and on the side facing the sun when they are reconnaissance.
A few minutes later, Zhou Zhihan found two black spots in the distance. He took out his telescope and it turned out that two German reconnaissance aircraft were flying at medium speed, with a distance of four kilometers, one in front and one behind, and heading towards the direction where the Sixth Fighter Air Force Airport was located.
These are two reconnaissance aircraft of the BF 109e7 model. The structure is roughly the same as the BF 109e5. The difference is that it is equipped with a db 601n engine, which greatly improves the performance of the aircraft.
It is also different from the rb21/18 camera used by bf 109, it uses the more advanced rb50/30 camera.
The camera is installed above the head, and the camera's control box is installed on the right side of the pilot's cockpit, where flares can be fired. There is a special rainproof barrier on the camera, so the camera will not wet even on rainy days.
bf The 109e7 also has an RB50/30 camera under the belly, and it has a camera hatch door fairing, which can take photos at night. Behind the fairing is a film automatic transmission motor, which can ensure that even if the camera is destroyed, the photos taken can be taken back intact.
At this time, the more advanced bf The 109f3 model has appeared, but this fighter was first arranged in the battlefields of Western Europe and North Africa. Gorene believes that in the face of the backward Soviet aircraft, the bf �
At this time, on the battlefield of the Soviet Union, even the previous bf 109e1 was still using its remaining energy, and could still calmly suppress the old fighter jets such as I-15
At present, all Soviet fighters are unable to effectively intercept the reconnaissance aircraft converted from BF
The firepower is not as fast as it can fly, not as fast as it can fly, not as high as it can fly, and superchargers are a common problem faced by all Soviet fighters at present. When it reaches a high altitude, the power of the fighter will be significantly reduced, so even if it can fly, it is definitely not as fast as it can fly.
This is also the reason why the Soviet Air Force had a headache with German high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.
bf The 109e7 has been modified to make it faster and have a higher ceiling. This reconnaissance aircraft only has a cannon under the nose as a self-defense weapon. Just like the Japanese Zero fighter, except for the protective steel plate on the belly of the aircraft, all the weight can be removed in other places.
Therefore, the maximum ceiling of this fighter can reach 13,000 kilometers and the speed reaches an astonishing 620 kilometers. This is an impossible task for all the fighters of the Soviet Air Force today.
"Hey, Maxi, about 20 kilometers away, and below 50 degrees ahead, there seemed to be several Soviet aircraft."
Maxi was checking around to see the invincibility in the air. He raised his telescope after hearing this: "Receive it, oh, I saw Thomas too, but there were too many obstacles on the ground and I couldn't see clearly. We need to investigate forward and not be fooled by the Russians.
The Russians set up fake airports everywhere to deceive us. In the early morning, the night fight bomber brigade bombed a fake airport. The two guys in charge of the reconnaissance mission were scolded yesterday."
Knowing that his teammates were checking, Thomas put down his telescope as a warning, and made a routine rolling back every three minutes to check the side of the rear roll, and turned around to confirm the safety of the second half: "Those two guys deserve to be punished. They took photos of the target from afar and turned around and returned. The photos they brought back were blurry, and they could not tell the true or false airport. If the team leader and they were fellow villagers, these two guys would definitely be locked up."
"These two guys are really lucky. They are just cancelled their vacation. They are not allowed to drink for half a month and clean the toilet." Maxi chuckled and glanced at the right side. "Okay Thomas, pay attention to the direction of your right side facing the sun, beware of the Russians ambushing in the air. We continue to investigate and return immediately after taking clear photos."
Thomas put down his telescope, squinted his eyes and looked up to the high position on the right. Although the sunlight was very dazzling, it would also reflect on the enemy's fighter plane: "Received, Maxi. Let's raise the height, beware of the Russian anti-aircraft artillery fire, and speed up the speed to investigate forward."
"It's still ten kilometers away from the suspicious location... Oh... Thomas, we are so lucky, we are going to make contributions... It's indeed the Russian airport... There are several fighter planes parked on the ground... It seems that it's I-16... and I-15. 3... The Russians are hiding these planes... Obviously they discovered us... There are two I-16 fighter planes preparing to take off... God bless, there are no air defense positions around the Russian airport. Let's lower the altitude to check and take photos. When their fighter planes take off, we will have already flown away..."
