Glorious Mission 1937

"Da da da"

Li Haitao took the lead and rushed towards the Soviet lead plane. A string of bullets shot out but the enemy plane disappeared. Li Haitao was wondering when he suddenly found that the enemy plane had climbed to the top of his head, and the machine gun was pointing here. aim.It can be seen that the Soviet pilot is a very experienced and excellent pilot. He operated the fighter plane at the first time and jumped into the black cloud.

Seeing the danger, Li Haitao jerked the nose of the plane and quickly took a favorable position. Su Ji rushed forward without showing any weakness.Li Haitao slammed into the opponent at full speed, and he was about to die with the Japanese plane. Li Haitao quickly pulled up the fighter plane by virtue of the speed advantage of the fighter plane, and then made a perfect rotation.

Under the amazed eyes of the Soviet pilot, Li Haitao "bited" the "tail" of the enemy plane. Although biting the opponent's tail in an air battle has a high chance of hitting him, Li Haitao did not dare to be careless. He knew that he was entangled. The Soviet pilot was an extremely good pilot.Having learned the lesson just now, Li Haitao operated the fighter plane and quickly approached the Soviet plane, getting closer...closer, until he could see the back of the Soviet plane pilot's head clearly, and then he fired a series of bullets.Then the enemy plane burst into flames and fell headlong.

After shooting down the enemy plane, Li Haitao had the heart to observe the entire battlefield.At this time, the Soviet fighter planes in the entire battlefield were in a mess, and Li Haitao was surprised to find that the Soviets seemed to have gone crazy.Although the overall performance of the new Soviet aircraft was far inferior to theirs, these Soviet pilots were extremely ferocious when attacking, and rushed towards them to collide with the aircraft at a slight disadvantage. This was simply a "bayonet fight in the air".

But Li Haitao knew better that the Soviet fleet was just a dying struggle.The fighters they sat down were not as capable as the northern air force.The number of fighters is also quite different, and this air battle was not a fight of equal strength from the very beginning.

The air battle was in full swing. After receiving the report from Liu Nijia, Fortune personally rushed to the headquarters of the Northern Air Force to take command. When he learned that the Soviet Air Force had sent a new type of fighter to participate in the battle, Fortune was also surprised, but when he heard the news from the frontline pilots, After receiving the specific news, Fortune no longer worried.

According to the description of the returning pilot of Saiyin Shanda, Fortune can conclude that the new fighter that the Soviet Union is proud of is the MiG-3 fighter.This fighter is improved from the MiG-1, the first type of MiG fighter. The biggest advantage is that it flies fast. In the first test flight, it created a speed flight record of 684.5kmh.It was the fastest plane in the world at the time.MiG 3 is an improved model of MiG 1.

But what surprised Chen Feng was.This kind of fighter should not appear on the battlefield right now. Historically, the MiG-1 was only developed in 1938. The design goal is the world's leading high-altitude and high-speed interceptor. In December 1939, they submitted the design proposal of the i-12 fighter.The program was quickly adopted by the Central Committee.Approval of the People's Committee of Aviation and the Air Force.Development work started.

飞机使用胶合板、木材、金属的混和结构，悬臂式低单翼布局。到1940年3月30号，设计局的这头一个作品已经造出了原型机。1940年4月5日在莫斯科的khodyka飞机场进行被称为i-200的原型机进行第一次试飞，试飞证明：该机是一种性能卓越的截击机，特别是在5月2日的试飞中达到了684.5kmh的速度(6900m)，是当时世界上飞得最快的飞机。1940年12月，该机被授予生产编号：米格1。

The improved MiG 3 was put into production much later. The first production MiG 3 entered the service of the Soviet Air Force in April 1941. I did not expect it to appear now, and it seems to have reached mass production. .A full 4 months earlier than in history.

Although the Soviet Union developed the MiG-3 fighter ahead of time, Chen Feng was not worried at all. Although the MiG-3 is advanced and its performance is superior enough, this fighter has serious flaws. First of all, the landing gear of the MiG-[-] It is often impossible to put it down, and the pilot has to use the belly of the aircraft to taxi for an forced landing. In addition, the equipment above the landing gear is often damaged during landing, especially emergency landings often cause damage to the exhaust pipe of the aircraft radiator, and the exhaust pipe is difficult to replace. , which leads to a significant reduction in the flight time of the aircraft.

In addition, due to the unreliable performance of the MiG-3 cockpit lock, Soviet pilots had to open the canopy when performing missions. Opening the canopy affected the speed and range of the aircraft. At the same time, the low endurance of the aircraft also made it impossible to perform reconnaissance missions. , because once an air battle occurs during reconnaissance, the fuel of the MiG-3 will not be able to guarantee its safe return.

What's more, the Soviet Air Force has just been equipped with MiG-3, not only the number of equipment is small, but the pilots have not yet fully mastered the driving skills of this aircraft.

More importantly, the main fighters of the Northern Air Force at this time are the J-5 and J-6 fighters, and even the J-5 fighters with poor performance are imitated Soviet fighters. The original prototype of the imitation is the Soviet MiG-17. It is completely a battle between the grandfather and the grandson. How can the Soviets be invincible.

The outcome of this air battle was already doomed, so Chen Feng lost his patience after staying in the Northern Air Force Temporary Headquarters. Just as he was about to return to the Army Temporary Headquarters, the radar soldiers reported another news. The more than 200 Soviet fighter planes that took off flew towards Zommod, and it seemed that they were preparing to reinforce the Soviet Air Force in the direction of Zommod.

In fact, this is exactly the case. In less than half an hour after the start of the war, the Soviet Air Force had shot down more than a hundred fighters. At this time, the commander of the Soviet Air Force also noticed that the performance of their new fighters was far behind that of the Chinese Air Force. Fighter planes, although the combat skills of Chinese pilots are not as good as Soviet pilots, the huge disadvantage of fighter planes still caused them heavy losses.In desperation, Zhukov had no choice but to order the 6th Aviation Division, which had just ended the Saiyinshand air battle, to land immediately at Saiinshander Airport, and immediately rushed to Zommod after refueling to reinforce the 9th Aviation Division.

However, when the Sixth Aviation Division arrived at Zong Mod, two-thirds of the fighters of the Ninth Division had been shot down, leaving less than a hundred fighters still struggling.The loss of the Chinese Air Force seems to be very limited, and the sky is full of Chinese fighter planes painted with the heads of prairie warriors.In addition, the city of Zong Mode not far away was also being bombarded violently by Chinese bombers at this time. Hundreds of Chinese bombers dropped a large number of aerial bombs on the positions of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces and Zong Mode Airport. There is smoke and flames of war everywhere in the city.

Although the new force of the Sixth Aviation Division has joined, the situation on the battlefield has not changed much. Seeing the arrival of hundreds of Soviet fighter planes, the Chinese Air Force is extremely happy, and it greets them with its own fighter planes. go up...

The Zommod air battle lasted until twelve o'clock at noon. If the fighter jets of the Northern Air Force were not short of fuel and could not continue to support the battle, I am afraid that this super-large air battle would continue.However, as of 12:375, 160 fighter planes were shot down by the Soviet Air Force in the direction of Zommod. In addition, Zommod Airport was bombed, and less than [-] fighter planes successfully returned to Sainshand Airport.

In addition, less than half an hour after the end of the Zongmod air battle, the Ulan Bator air strike also came to an end. Since all the fighters of the Soviet and Mongolian coalition forces were transferred to the southern front, Ulan Bator's air power was extremely strong. Empty, with only less than a battalion of air power from the Mongolian Defense Force, the 37 backward I-15 fighters were all blown up in the hangar before taking off, and the entire airport was turned into ashes.

So far, the 6.8 air battle has come to a complete conclusion. This air battle was continuously carried out in the four battlefields of Saiyinshanda, Ergen, Zongmod and Ulan Bator. The Soviet army invested a total of 2 complete new equipment aviation Division, 2 dilapidated old aviation divisions and 1 brigade of heavy bombers, with a total of 770 fighters, including 37 Iraqi-15s of the Mongolian Defense Forces, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition invested a total of 807 fighters.

The Northern Air Force invested a total of 3 and fighter brigades and 3 bomber brigades to participate in the battle. In this battle, the Soviet Air Force was shot down 531 planes, 201 were damaged, and only 75 fighter planes were intact. The two major military airports were destroyed, and the losses were extremely heavy.

However, Chen Feng's troops were different. In this big air battle, they were shot down 132 fighter planes, of which 10 were B179 bombers, and only less than 23 new fighter planes were shot down. Of these 23 downed fighter planes, only 8 were Those shot down by the Soviet Air Force, and the rest all crashed because they failed to prevent the brutal collision of the Soviet pilots and were then hit by them.

After the results of the 6.8 air battle came out, the top leaders of the Soviet Union and Mongolia were completely stunned. They simply could not accept such a result, especially the Soviet Union.As the largest country in the world across the Eurasian continent, and as the largest industrial country in Europe and the second largest in the world, the Soviet Union will never allow itself to be defeated by China, let alone be defeated by a small Chinese warlord .

After receiving the telegram from Zhukov, the angry Stalin smashed the furnishings in the office, and even broke the big pipe that Lenin gave him into two pieces.

In just 8 days, the Soviet Union lost a half of the Air Force Group Army in the hands of the Northern Air Force. This speed is extremely astonishing.You must know that the Soviet Union has only formed a total of 6 air force armies now, and it did not expect to lose a quarter so easily.

At the same time, Stalin was more worried about where did the new type of fighter under Chen Feng come from?If it is the United States, it is okay, but if it is Germany, the problem will be serious.According to the information collected by the intelligence personnel, the only countries that have traded equipment with Chen Feng's troops, besides the Soviet Union, are the United States and Germany.

Stalin in the United States was not worried. After all, the United States was a democratic country, and the United States had no territorial claims against the Soviet Union, so the Soviet Union was not worried that the United States would be detrimental to the Soviet Union.But if it is Germany, then the national security of the Soviet Union will be challenged unprecedentedly.Despite the existence of the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact", just like he did not believe in Japan, Stalin never believed in Germany. If Germany's fighter planes are really so powerful, then Stalin must reconsider the relationship between Germany and Germany. relationship, but also to consider the future of the Soviet Air Force.
