Leland has superb flying skills and rich air combat experience. He is also extremely confident in his flying skills, otherwise he would never make such a bold choice. However, unfortunately, he also met a master this time.
, Xu Rui is not as old as Leland, but his flying skills and air combat experience are not inferior.
Seeing that the Hurricane fighter numbered 001 neither dived to escape nor rolled, but did a somersault and instead pulled up, Xu Rui's lips immediately evoked a subtle smile, which was a bit interesting.
Are you so confident in your flying skills? It seems that you met a master today.
Okay, then let’s have a good time!
At that moment, Xu Rui pulled the joystick upwards slightly, and the nose of the Il-Sixteen fighter under his seat was raised slightly, locking the Hurricane fighter numbered 001 again at the center of the back-shaped reference, and then, with his right hand
With a slight press of his thumb, the two heavy machine guns installed under the left and right wings began to fire violently.
In an instant, two dazzling streams of light bloomed from the wings on both sides of the Il-Sixteen fighter piloted by Xu Rui. Then, like lightning, they shot towards the Hurricane fighter fighter in front and below. However, the number was zero.
The Lingyao Hurricane fighter just swayed its wings, and these two dazzling streams of light passed through the afterimage.
The result was empty! Xu Rui had expected this result. The opponent who dared to make such a choice at this time obviously had some tricks. After all, Xu Rui's real strength is jet fighters, especially stealth.
The driving of fighter jets and propeller fighter jets is just his hobby.
The next moment, the Il-16 fighter jet piloted by Xu Rui roared past.
In his field of vision, the surface of Lake Lagado was like a large pure white wall, crashing into it at an alarming speed. In order to avoid hitting the lake, Xu Rui could only turn down the accelerator, and at the same time, he struggled to pull up the control.
After waiting for the fuselage to return to the right position, he opened the throttle and accelerated to escape. However, by this time, Leland had already completed the somersault.
After Leyland finished somersaulting, he dived down. He happened to see the Il-16 fighter piloted by Xu Rui first slow down and then sharply raise its nose. Everything was going perfectly according to the plan he had set. The next moment
, the Il-Sixteen fighter jet jumped into the center of the back-shaped shooting benchmark, and Leland pressed the button without hesitation.
However, the Il-Sixteen fighter also only swayed slightly, and the two streams of light shot from under the wings of the Hurricane fighter also missed. Seeing the enemy plane successfully escape in the same way, Leland smiled at the corner of his mouth.
I am more interested, and it seems that I am still a master. Not bad, then let’s have fun!
At this time, the Il-16 fighter piloted by Xu Rui had climbed to high altitude again, and Leland also chased after him in the Hurricane fighter. At that moment, the two fighter jets began to bite, somersault, and horizontally spiral in the air.
, rolls, Immelmann spins and other aerobatic maneuvers are endless!
Leiland and Xu Rui were caught in a dog fight, and it was difficult to tell the difference in a short period of time. However, the other twenty hurricane fighter jets of the Finnish Air Force crashed one after another under the siege of more than a hundred IL fighter jets.
Cruel facts prove that a group fight between multiple machines against a single machine will not cause too much waste, and the probability of accidental injury is also very small!
In less than a quarter of an hour, most of the twenty-odd Hurricane fighter jets that accompanied Leland on the attack were shot down. Only five Hurricane fighter jets were still resisting, and under the attack of Soviet fighter jets that filled the sky, they had already been shot down.
It is difficult to support it. If no accident occurs, there will be no suspense about being shot down in the end.
At this time, Leiland finally woke up from a dream, immediately gave up the fight with Xu Rui, turned around and fled to the southwest.
Seeing the lead aircraft piloted by Leland flying back, the last four remaining combat aircraft of the Finnish Air Force turned around at the same time.
However, it was too late to think of escaping at this time. In an instant, more than a hundred Il fighter jets were like a swarm of foraging locusts, overwhelmingly covering the area.
…
In Vyborg, the headquarters of the Third Finnish Army.
Feeling that the air in the headquarters was too stuffy, Silavos went outside and lit a cigarette. While smoking, he turned to look at the sky in the northeast. As time went by, the worry between his brows became more and more serious.
The more intense it is, it has been almost an hour since Leyland led the third squadron of fighter jets to attack, why has there been no news back?
Logically speaking, the Third Fighter Squadron should have caught up with the Soviet bomber group long ago.
Could it be that there was an accident? For no reason, Silavos' heart skipped a beat. He had long heard that Timoshenko was an old fox. Could he have fallen into the old fox's trap?
While Silavos was worrying about gains and losses, the sound of footsteps came from behind.
He turned around quickly and saw his adjutant Dabio walking over with a livid face.
"Your Excellency General!" D'Abio stood at attention and saluted, and said in a hurried tone, "The Seventh Infantry Regiment reported that one of their ski teams discovered the third fighter jet led by Major General Leland in the middle of Lake Lagado.
squadron, and they almost captured the Soviet Air Force's bomber group, but..."
Speaking of this, Dabio suddenly paused and did not dare to continue talking immediately.
Because this news is so sad, so sad that it is difficult to express it.
Silavos immediately became anxious and said angrily: "It's just something, don't be hesitant, say it quickly, say it quickly!"
Dabio sighed and said sadly: "At the most critical moment, a group of Soviet Air Force fighter jets suddenly appeared, and more than a hundred of them came."
"What?" Silavos's face turned pale instantly, "More than a hundred fighter jets?"
"Yes, at least three fighter flight groups." D'Abio sighed again and said, "After a fierce battle, all twenty-four Hurricane fighter jets of the third fighter squadron were shot down. Even Leland
Your Excellency the General’s plane was not spared, and was also shot down by an enemy plane.”
Hearing this, Silavas felt like he was struck by thunder.
The strength of the Finnish Air Force was originally far inferior to that of the Northwest Front. It only equipped less than sixty Hurricane fighter jets in total, but now it has lost twenty-four, which is almost a crippling injury. Moreover, this
After this defeat, the Finnish Air Force basically lost its ability to engage in large-scale air combat, and could only fight guerrillas in the future.
This also means that the airspace over the Karelian Isthmus will be completely open, allowing the Soviet Air Force's bomber groups to come and go freely. This also means that, including Vyborg, relying on the Karelian Isthmus to build
The Mannerheim Line of Defense will face the overwhelming and indiscriminate bombardment of Soviet bombers from now on!
Seeing Silavos' face ashen, Dabio said with concern: "General, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm okay." Silavos took a deep breath of air-conditioning, then regained his composure and said, "Immediately notify the division commanders of each division to come to Vyborg. The defense deployment of the Mannerheim Line must be adjusted. Not only
It is necessary to strengthen the construction and use of anti-aircraft firepower, and to carry out necessary camouflage on important targets."
"Yes." Dabio agreed, turned around and hurried away.
…
Compared with the sadness of Finnish commander Silavos, Soviet commander Timoshenko was in a very good mood at the moment.
At this time, news of the victory in the air battle over Lake Lagado had been transmitted back to the command headquarters through the bomber's radio station.
The aviation regiment of the Northwestern Front achieved an unprecedented victory in the air battle over Lake Lagado. One man shot down all twenty-four Hurricane fighter jets of the Finnish Air Force, while the Soviet Air Force only lost one bomber and six fighter jets.
Compared to the first stage of the offensive, this was definitely a great victory.
Facing such a great victory, how could Timoshenko be in a bad mood?
Unable to wait for Xu Rui's return, Timoshenko took a group of senior staff from the headquarters and drove to the station of the First Flying Regiment closest to Leningrad, in order to personally greet the return of the attacking fighter group.
Not long after Xinge and his party arrived at the airport, a dark group of planes appeared in the sky over Leningrad.
Come back, come back! A group of senior officials behind Timoshenko immediately started to commotion.
Ivan and Alexei stood behind Timoshenko, looking up at the large black aircraft flying over in the sky. Their moods were extremely complicated. They originally thought that this Chinese-led combat plan would go without any surprises.
It ends in a disastrous defeat, so one of the two of them may succeed the Chinese as director of the staff department.
You know, the two of them have been coveting the position of director of the staff department for a long time.
Unexpectedly, the high command finally sent an unknown Chinese as the director of the staff department. This appointment directly shattered the dreams of the two people, and the two people hated Xu Rui because of it. But having said that, they were not optimistic about him.
Xu Rui's air combat plan was not motivated by personal grudges, but was based on military common sense.
According to their judgment, Xu Rui's air combat plan has absolutely no chance of success.
But they never expected that this seemingly impossible and crazy air combat plan would not only succeed, but also be an unprecedented success. In this battle alone, the Finnish Air Force's fighter force was basically crippled. From then on,
The Karelian Isthmus is a free land for the bombers of their Northwest Front.
In addition to being depressed, Ivan and Alexey were also a little confused. Where did this Chinese come from?
Brother Timoshenko, who was standing in front of the two of them, seemed to be able to guess what they were thinking, and said in a quiet voice: "Are you confused as to why Comrade Xu Rui is so powerful? I might as well tell you some inside stories."
Ivan, Alexei and other high-ranking officials immediately pricked up their ears.
