The sight turns to Catfish Village. This collective farm has a large population and is the location of the earliest military camp. Although a large number of buildings are still protected by forests, this area already has very obvious traces of human development. This area of the airport
In this area, due to actual needs, trees were cut down one after another, and many buildings were built around it.
Especially the existence of the airport, which is a very abrupt long strip of empty space. Even when looking down at the ground from the air, this very regular empty space can be seen clearly.
One reconnaissance plane was shot down, and the other three were unaware of it. Their flight directions were all towards Catfish Village. Even the reconnaissance plane that was hit by a bullet was flying smoothly. The pilots were determined to fight hard.
Give it a try and try to get some more information.
The three planes flew towards Catfish Village one after another, and they soon discovered the clues on the ground.
It was a long strip of area, which looked particularly abrupt in the forest. This mission was to find the guerrillas' airport, and this was the landform that matched the characteristics of the airport!
"Haha! So you are hiding here!" Pilot Paul was extremely pleasantly surprised. He immediately recalled his memory. This was to send a signal to the two surrounding aircraft.
Passing them in different directions, they discovered each other one after another. The three planes immediately merged and moved forward in a triangular formation. Their target was the so-called airport.
However, this mutually supportive formation is simply a mistake!
Fuming held up his binoculars and followed the direction of the roar, and finally saw the enemy plane.
He immediately ordered: "Oh my God, there are actually three of them. Guards, fire the signal flare quickly and let the wandering Podovich fly back!"
A green signal flare was launched into the sky, and this scene was also seen by a German reconnaissance plane. This showed that there were enemies under the woods, and it was even more important to conduct a thorough reconnaissance of the airport.
Pilot Paul made a gesture, and the three reconnaissance planes pulled away. It was during this change of formation that the machine gunners on the ground opened fire.
The captured German general-purpose machine guns still have many green bullets in the bullet belts. These are drag-out bullets, which guide the shooter to fire bullets onto the enemy aircraft.
The sudden attack took them and the others by surprise. Three reconnaissance planes flew over the airport. They saw the hangar and a large number of buildings. In order to avoid bullets, the planes were all raised to high altitudes to avoid ground fire.
Even a light reconnaissance aircraft can quickly fly to an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. This distance far exceeds the shooting limit of ground machine guns. However, in order to observe carefully, they only fly at a height of 800 meters. This
There was no vector engine in this era, and pulling it up too hard would have only one result - stalling.
The three planes began to circle upward and tried to avoid ground fire.
Paul's nervousness gradually calmed down, because the firepower from the ground became less and less threatening as the height increased.
While they were feeling complacent, Paul suddenly saw his wingman at the ten o'clock position in front of him suddenly shaking violently. Then a fire broke out in the nose of the plane, which quickly exploded. The flames engulfed the cabin, and the plane was billowing black smoke.
He fell headlong.
"Is it an enemy attack?!" Before he could react, a brand-new aircraft, like a raptor, crashed down in front of it on the left. With just this glance, he saw that this aircraft was none other than the Soviet Union.
A human fighter. This is a certain model of the Yi-15 series. Its unique short and thick body shape and double-wing structure prove its identity.
This is Bodovich swooping in from the sun!
He hid his car in the sun very well, and the German army was unprepared for the sudden attack. The firepower of the two machine guns was definitely weak against fighter jets, but it was more than enough to deal with reconnaissance aircraft with fragile structures.
"Hurrah!" he cheered happily, killing an enemy plane in his first wonderful dive.
Then, he used the powerful flexibility of the I-153 and the gravitational inertia of the fall to pull the aircraft up. He immediately aimed at the new target and flew straight away.
The people on the ground were not idle either. They hid in the woods and shot at the enemy planes. This undoubtedly greatly interfered with the escape of the German pilots.
Paul realized the great danger. The only weapon he carried was the Ruger pistol in his waist. And what about the plane? It was traveling slowly and was unarmed.
He knew very well that the Soviet fighter jet was very maneuverable and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
Like an eagle, Podovich locked onto the fleeing "pigeon".
He stared at the scope with all his concentration. After all, there were not many bullets, so he had to aim carefully before shooting.
Of course, the enemy was not a fool to sit still and wait for death. The pilot turned frequently, trying to use his own maneuverability to get rid of the pursuer. However, this did not hinder Podovich. When it came to dogfighting maneuverability and speed, the I-153 was better.
One step ahead.
Finally, after a turning dive, Podovic found the right opportunity. The bullets fired out with a crackle, leaving a string of bullet holes on the wing of the enemy plane. This damage did not cause the enemy plane to fall, and even smoke did not appear.
stand up.
"Damn it! Aren't the fuel tanks of this enemy plane buried in the wings?" Podovich was very angry. It seemed that he had failed to seize a perfect opportunity.
But the situation changed too quickly! The enemy plane continued to perform difficult maneuvers, and its injured wing finally could no longer withstand the strong wind pressure. The frame of the wing was weakened by bullets and actually broke.
The plane was like a kite with its string broken, falling in an extremely uncomfortable manner.
Bodovic stared at the falling enemy plane, then thought, there is still one guy who has not been killed!
"Damn it! He couldn't have escaped!" Bodovic searched around and saw a water vapor cloud caused by unnatural wingtip airflow due south. This trace revealed the direction of his escape.
Podovich immediately changed course, increased the throttle, and pursued at full speed.
The instrument panel showed that the speed had reached 460 kilometers per hour. The wind was already unbearably cold, and his cheeks were numb. In order to win, these pains must be endured.
The full-speed pursuit finally had an effect. Bodovic saw the target, and its small figure appeared in the crosshair.
The trigger was lightly pulled, and a string of bullets shot through, directly hitting the tail of the reconnaissance plane.
"Hell!" Paul was shocked. He knew that his plane was no match for the fighter jets. This escape to the south was a helpless choice. With the current fuel, he could fly as far as Kiev. In fact, he had to fly over this swamp.
, it is safe to enter the Chernobian city area.
He looked back and saw a gratifying sight in front of him. There seemed to be something wrong with that Soviet fighter jet!
That’s right! It’s indeed a problem!
Podovich was overly involved in the battle. He only remembered that the plane had too few bullets and had to use them sparingly. He forgot that there was not much fuel in the fuel tank. Just when he pulled the trigger, the plane trembled violently. Just like the behavior of an asthmatic patient,
The engine made a coughing sound and then simply stopped!
"We're actually out of fuel!" Angrily, what else could he say as he looked at the enemy planes going away? To make matters worse, his own situation was also a mess.
The altimeter showed that the plane was at 1,200 meters, and Podovich didn't bring a parachute. As a veteran, he didn't want to just crash into the sky. Therefore, the only option was to make an emergency landing.
The situation before him was that he was already far away from the airport. In order to have a greater chance of survival, the plane had to glide in the direction of the airport.
The short and thick body of the I-153 makes it ineffective in gliding, and Podovich knew this all too well. Fortunately, he still had an airborne radio. The plane was falling steadily at the moment. He held the walkie-talkie and shouted to Catfish Village.
At this moment, only by staying calm can he save his life. He reported the approximate location of his fall in case follow-up personnel could find him.
Fuming was shocked by the sudden information. Bodovich was actually about to fall?!
He immediately summoned several platoons of soldiers: "All of you, immediately form a skirmish line and enter the south to search. Pay attention to the sky. Once you find black smoke, move closer there immediately. No matter whether Podovich is dead or alive,
Bring him back to me!"
After reporting the information, Podovich relaxed in the cockpit. It was no longer possible to taxi back to the airport. He caressed his car. "My dear, I'm afraid this is the last time we fly side by side. If we die,
Let's continue fighting in the abyss!" After saying that, he slowly closed his eyes and quietly waited for his unknown destination. (To be continued.) u
