Steinhof took off first, and Messerchmitt climbed quickly, following behind him, Buckhorn, the United's biggest rookie.

Another former rookie Herman Graff followed closely behind.

Herman Graff's record at this time was 12 aircraft. Before that, he was even worse than Gerhard Barkhorn. He had no record for two years. It was not until the Soviet Union entered the Eastern Front that the Soviet Union shot down an old I-15    3 that the ace pilot found the shooting boots like a football player.

Steinhof has always believed that as long as it is gold, it always shines. In his opinion, Geerhard Barkhorn is not lucky enough. After all, every time he shoots, he ranks among the top in the entire wing.

There is no record of flying into the sky 119 times. This is definitely not a problem with air combat technology, it is luck.

but!

A pilot was able to retreat in 119 air battles without a single result. Only God knows whether his luck is good or bad.

Steinhof is sometimes confused about this, and he always calls out a name to wish this super rookie before taking off.

Messerchmidt has low requirements for takeoff and landing, and can take off even in rice fields. Unlike spitfires and hurricanes, it is a bit pretentious. It requires a flat runway to take off. Therefore, the fighter planes involved in the interception climbed into the air almost at the same time.

During this interception, Steinhof ordered three squadrons to take off, and he had a total of 37 Mei-style aircraft, which was enough to deal with 9 spitfires, and the spitfires had to pay attention to protecting the bomber.

This is a sure-making business.

The Soviet Air Force's overall technology was rough and the aircraft performance was lagging behind. If it weren't for the pilot of the No. 214 fire-breathing pilot, it was suspected that Zhou Zhihan's big devil, that two Mei-style squadrons were enough.

Bf    It takes 7 minutes and 30 seconds for the 109E3 to climb to 6500 meters, while it takes 6 minutes and 40 seconds for the 109E7/Z to be replaced with the engine.

This is about 1 minute, and it is heaven and hell for the pilot.

Zhou Zhihan ordered that all Soviet fighters should turn on communication, and the encounter was right in front of them, so there was no need to keep communication silent.

Before this, he had contacted General Gromakin, who was anxiously waiting in Moscow, to inform the crew of his current location.

General Gromakin immediately dispatched troops and ordered the fighter jets of the Soviet fighter jets stationed near Moscow to take off and go to the rescue.

The lineup of the Luftwaffe appeared on Zhou Zhihan's flight helmet.

Zhou Zhihan told the team members: "At 40 kilometers ahead, the Luftwaffe has three squadrons, one of which flew at an altitude of 4,500 meters to attract our attention. The other two squadrons were ambushed at an altitude of 9,000 meters, preparing to catch us off guard with dive."

The players all know that this is the most basic tactic of air combat.

Ambushing and diving at high altitudes is the standard configuration for air combat troops.

But no one knows how this Chinese ace discovered the enemy 40 kilometers away.

However, all pilots believed in Zhou Zhihan completely. Just because he led the fleet last night without any shots, he had the amazing leadership of breaking through the German aircraft defense line without any danger, and arrived at the destination safely on time. Looking at the entire Soviet Air Force, no one could do it.

Zhou Zhihan glanced at the secret document that he had opened after Puslav took off.

"Now, it's time for everyone to know the real mission of our trip."

None of the pilots spoke.

Finally, the answer to this mission is about to be solved.

"On the Red Star 9 we escorted, there was a marshal who was about to command the Battle of Moscow.

He was Marshal Zhukov, who was personally appointed by Comrade Stalin as the commander-in-chief of the Moscow Defense War.

Our task this time was issued by Comrade Stalin himself.

You are the elites of the entire Soviet Union, trusted and recognized by the state, so we must protect the safety of Red Star 9 at all costs.”

When the team members heard that it was Comrade Stalin's personal order and the country trusted you, the words that the team members immediately became excited.

The Soviet hero Yumashev, who was once personally met by Stalin, instantly shed tears of emotion.

The team members knew that the Battle of Moscow was right in front of them. If the German cavalry were allowed to step into Moscow, the morale of the entire Soviet Union would be hit unprecedentedly.

Defending Moscow is urgent.

Marshal Zhukov was the commander of the Battle of Moscow.

And they are now protecting Marshal Zhukov.

What a sacred mission this is.

At this moment, all Soviet pilots had a firm thought in their hearts: even if they died in battle, they had to protect Marshal Zhukov's completeness.

Now, everyone finally understood why this time when we head to Puslav, we did not allow the British pilot who knew the performance of Spitfire to participate, but let the Chinese Air Force ace participate.

The British have always been capricious and untrustworthy, or dare not trust them in such a major action.

This Chinese Air Force ace is trustworthy.

At this time, China and the Soviet Union depended on each other. Defending the Soviet Union is defending China, and defending China is defending the Soviet Union.

Major Pisanko was filled with passion: "Comrade Zhou, please give orders!"

"Please give orders!"

The pilots spoke in unison.

Said slowly.

In fact, from Zhou Zhihan told everyone that they were escorting Marshal Zhukov, and the team members were eagerly asking him to give orders, which was only less than twenty seconds.

Zhou Zhihan: "When I hear my order later, Pisanko, Yumashev and Naigenko immediately covered Red Star 9 to escape from the fleet and flew between Tver and Smolensk, which was the route I led everyone last night to break through from the JG51 and JG52 United.

After we just heard the sound of the east and west, that route is now the weakest place in the Luftwaffe defense. You can go along there and head towards Moscow. Our army will have fighter planes to pick you up."

The team members immediately understood Zhou Zhihan's tactic, which was to use Red Star 1 to attract the attention of the Germans, cover Red Star 9, and once again safely leave from the enemy's weakest defense area.

"receive!"

Pisanko, Yumashev and Nakenko answered, and then began to change the positions of the fighter planes and moved closer to Red Star 9.

Zhou Zhihan’s plan to attack the east and west was indeed high!

high!

It's really high!

This move directly tear the Luftwaffe's defense line.

If this Chinese ace hadn't used the move of "Sing East to Strike West" to completely disrupt the Luftwaffe's defense tactics, the route they had flew last night would be the most dangerous route.

With one move, the two German wings focused their interceptions above their own wings, and automatically flashed out the defensive gap in the Soviet aircraft group in the early morning.

In the morning, when they learned that the Soviet aircraft group had broken through the gap between the two wings, the JG51 and JG52 wings were very upset and arranged heavy troops on this defense line like a flaw. Now, after Zhou Zhihan's voice attacked the east and west, the defense line was empty again.

Moreover, Zhou Zhihan asked 11 fighters to cover Red Star 1 and only used 3 fighters to cover Red Star 9, which would make German pilots believe that the important secret of the Soviet Union lies in Red Star 1, which is heavily defended.

The Germans are most likely to think that the Red Star 9 is bait to attract the attention of the Imperial pilots.

However, there is no risk of the two bombers leaving separately. If the Germans see through, the risks will increase exponentially, but under the current situation, this may be the best choice.

Nakenko, Yumashev, and Pisanko are the three most powerful people among the dozen Soviet pilots at present, so they were asked to protect Red Star 9.

Of course, it is impossible for the Germans to know that the above three are powerful.

The enemy planes are getting closer.
