As Romania's preparations were completed, the offensive from General Mandiv began on November 2. It was still started by the air force, and overwhelming Romanian fighter planes poured into Greek airspace unbridled.
Facing the invasion of the Romanian Air Force, the Greek Air Force's old fighter planes were no match at all. The Greek Air Force also knew this, and they adopted a dispersed attack method to try to use their old fighter planes to the limit.
Several Hawk 75s in the sky were turning their engines to maximum power, and the pilots were pressing on the accelerator, trying to get the aircraft to reach its speed limit.
The reason why they did this was that there were nearly ten black figures chasing them behind them. If you take a closer look, you can see that this is the Romanian HF201 Zero fighter. This fighter is equipped with not only the Navy, but also the Air Force.
We also value the high performance at low altitudes and plan to purchase them in large quantities. However, this aircraft has only been produced for a short time and the production capacity has not yet been expanded.
Captain Zekov, the captain of the 4th Fighter Squadron of the 3rd Group of the Greek Air Force, who was fleeing, looked at the distance of the chasing enemy aircraft behind him, and refrained from using the microphone and said to Lieutenant Wade, the leader of the 2nd Squadron under him. "Wade.
, this is not the way to go."
Wade was also observing the enemy situation behind him, but he was also at a loss. "Squadron Captain, what do you think we should do?"
When facing Wade, Captain Zekov already had a solution.
It was impossible to fight. Previously, I had a full squadron and tried to harass the enemy bombers, but ended up bumping into a group of HF201 fighters. I saw that the opponent's fighter jets were not as good as ours, so I planned to take advantage. I just waited for a firefight.
After that, the numerical advantages and disadvantages of the two were reversed.
What followed was a pursuit and an escape, but the other party was not only much more flexible than us, but also much faster than us. During the escape, two more of our own fighter planes were shot down.
But now this situation cannot continue, and Zekov, who has made up his mind, expressed his plan. "Next, we will escape separately, and we will count each one as long as we can get back."
"That's fine."
When faced with the squadron leader, Captain Zekov, Lieutenant Wade did not hesitate. This method was indeed better than working together. The next step was to rely on their own abilities.
After the two made their decision, the escaping Hawk 75 fighter jets immediately split into two teams and escaped separately.
Captain Averek, who was leading the pursuit, picked up the microphone after seeing the actions of the Greek fighter plane in front of him. "Valk, you lead the pursuit on the right, and I will lead the pursuit on the left. If we continue to divide, then we will also divide."
"Understood, Captain."
After putting down the microphone, Averek couldn't help but look mockingly at the fleeing enemy planes in front of him. He had encountered many such situations in Poland. No matter how they escaped, they turned into dead souls under his own gun. He really thought that he was
The ace pilot is a vegetarian.
That's right, Captain Averek became an ace in shooting down five enemy planes in just over two months after the war broke out. The four fighter planes and one bomber engraved on his fuselage cannot be faked.
This also shows that Averek is a player with both strength and luck. Without superb skills, how can he shoot down an enemy plane? Without enough luck, how can he encounter an enemy plane? And it took just over two months.
To be able to shoot down five, one must have incredible luck.
So Captain Averek, who came with his own luck this time, was once again blessed with good luck. He was able to get meat from a guard mission, so it goes without saying that he had to eat the meat that was delivered to his door.
Running away is disrespectful to God, and he has always respected God very much. When he was in his hometown, he always liked to go to the monastery (climb over the wall). Although Sister Rununa didn't really like to disturb the young and beautiful nuns,
But it still couldn't stop him from respecting God.
As the escaping Hawker 75 fighter jets dispersed again, the pursuing HF201 fighter jets also dispersed. By coincidence, the fighter jet Captain Averek was chasing was Captain Zekov's plane. The two squadron leaders'
The pursuit was even more thrilling, and this also made Averek even more surprised. Shooting down a highly skilled opponent gave him a much greater sense of accomplishment than shooting down a rookie.
Zekov failed to get rid of the opponent behind him several times in a row, which naturally made him aware of how difficult the opponent behind him was. After flying over a hill, Zekov looked happy because he knew that there was a small air defense position here, and he
When I flew over last time, I saw several 20mm anti-aircraft cannons deployed here.
Seeing this, an idea came to his mind, and he pressed the nose of the fighter plane and flew directly there.
Captain Averek, who was chasing Zekov, couldn't help but frown when he saw his prey rushing to low altitude. The previous battle made the Hawk 75 in front of him familiar with his aircraft, so he had been avoiding it.
It entered low altitude. And now it flies directly to low altitude. Is it because it has something to rely on or because it wants to bluff itself?
But time waited for no one, and while he was thinking, the Hawker fighter jet in front of him moved away again. Averek couldn't care less and followed him into low altitude. The excellent low-altitude performance of his fighter jet could also make others
He ran away. But he also kept an extra mind and put more energy into observing his surroundings.
When Zekov saw that the pursuing fighter planes had also come down, he was overjoyed. After flying past the air defense position, he immediately began to make a turn, making a gesture of wanting to fight with the opponent. He tried to let Averek behind him also fly in.
The hovering state is because the fighter jet has the lowest speed when hovering, which is conducive to the aiming of anti-aircraft guns.
Zekov's actions immediately alerted Captain Averek, who intuitively told him that this was abnormal.
At this moment, the anti-aircraft position opened fire. On the command of the commander, the four 20mm anti-aircraft guns on the position immediately opened fire on his fighter plane.
"Da~da~da~"
Several chains of fire consisting of 20mm shells covered him. One of them even passed by the wing of the aircraft, and the air flow it brought up had already made the wings tremble.
Such a dangerous situation scared Averek himself, but fortunately he was not bad luck. The anti-aircraft gun did not hit him at once, giving him time to react. Averek immediately pressed down the machine.
He continued to lower his head and saw that the aircraft was approaching the ground quickly like a falling meteorite under his control.
When the distance was only nearly 100 meters, Averek began to operate. Under his operation, he saw that the fighter plane almost brushed the treetops. This superb technique shocked the officers and soldiers on the air defense position. Then
Just yelling. Because he was operating too fast, the anti-aircraft gun could not keep up with its speed. This is one of the disadvantages of bringing the enemy aircraft close to the target. If the enemy is too close, the anti-aircraft gun speed cannot keep up with the enemy's speed.
When Zekov saw the enemy planes chasing him and evading the plot of the air defense positions, he could really curse in his heart.
The skill displayed by the opponent also made Zekov lose the confidence to pursue him. Now he just wants to return to the airport quickly and wait to see how many of his team members have returned. This time, his luck was too bad for the mission.
On Averek's side, several consecutive high-difficulty exercises also made him sweat, which was due to physical strength and energy. Now he doesn't want to chase the enemy plane anymore. It was too thrilling before.
, he was almost about to be taken down, and now he needs to go back and have a drink to calm down.
The battle between the two of them was just one of the special cases. On the first day of Romania's offensive, Greece lost 50% of its air power, 20% of which was destroyed on the ground.
By the next day, the Greek Air Force had lost 65% of its aircraft, which were the most elite aircraft in Greece. In addition to the backwardness of Greek fighter jets, the reason for this was that the Greek territory had no depth and no safe ground for Greek fighter jets.
A place to stop.
Therefore, three days after the war began, the Greek air power had almost been lost. And the army group commanded by General Mandiv finally arrived outside Leptokalia.
