Glorious Mission 1937

Because of the sudden participation of 20 fighter jets under Chen Feng's command, this air battle has attracted the attention of the Soviet high-level officials.The Soviet executives had heard about the air force under Chen Feng's command for a long time. When Chen Feng formed the air force, it was supported by the Soviets. The fighter planes and pilots were all helped by the Soviets.

However, since last year, this air force has been separated from the support of the great Soviet Union and embarked on the path of independent development.Only a few months later, the two sides clashed and started a duel in Outer Mongolia, but the Soviet Air Force suffered an unprecedented defeat here. In less than two months of fighting, the Soviet Air Force shot down a total of 1400 fighters. Fighter planes were injured, including the latest Soviet Yak fighter jets.

Afterwards, the Soviet Union specially dispatched intelligence agencies to collect information on this air force. First, the reason why Chen Feng's troops were so powerful was entirely because they were equipped with an advanced fighter plane. At the same time, in terms of firepower and protection capabilities, it far surpasses the main fighters of all countries in the world.

Stalin sent requests to Chen Feng many times, hoping that Chen Feng could provide the Soviet Union with this advanced fighter, but Chen Feng always refused, so although the Soviets had guesses about the performance of Chen Feng's new fighter, few people had seen it with their own eyes, so After learning that Chen Feng's air force was launched into the air for combat, Stalin led Zhukov, Novikov and others out of the underground fortification and watched the air battle outside.

The Luftwaffe fought very well over Moscow, at least their commander Goering did it artificially, although the large hole caused the Luftwaffe a lot of losses.But the losses caused to Moscow are even greater. This loss is not only manifested in the military, but more in the economy and other aspects.

Today's air battle is the same. This time the Luftwaffe came prepared. Although the Soviet Union dispatched 2 aviation divisions to intercept it at one time, it still failed to stop the Luftwaffe from raging in Moscow.

However, just as the Luftwaffe was about to show its might and severely damage or even kill these two ignorant Soviet aviation divisions, more than 20 fighter planes that they had never seen before suddenly rushed out from the east.

These unexpected and uninvited guests were fast and joined the battle group in a blink of an eye.I saw that the fuselages of these newly added fighters were silver-gray.There is a huge wolf head printed on it, and an eagle is printed on the other side. Although the habits of different countries are different, the decoration of the fighter planes is still similar.The pattern on one side represents identity.The pattern on the other side represents meritorious deeds.

That wolf head undoubtedly represents identity.It's just that they don't know what identity the wolf head represents.And the large number of eagles on the other side is intriguing, if it is really a trace of meritorious service, it would be too scary.Because the general meritorious deeds are calculated according to the enemy planes shot down, generally one pattern represents one enemy plane shot down.And there are dozens of patterns on any of these fighter planes that suddenly appeared.That is to say, any one of these fighter planes has a fighter plane that has shot down dozens of enemy planes.

You must know that even Germany, which has the most developed air force, can be called an ace pilot as long as it shoots down five enemy planes. In the Luftwaffe, every ace pilot is a treasure and is highly valued by the Air Force Command.Even so, there are really not many ace pilots who can shoot down dozens of enemy planes. I didn't expect to see so many here at once. Could it be said that this air force team composed of only more than [-] fighter planes is a secret Soviet team.

Just as the German Air Force thought, Li Xuebin and others are indeed a secret air force team, but they are not affiliated to the Soviet Union, but to the Northern Air Force of China. They are all carefully selected by Liu Nijia from the more than 3000 pilots of the Northern Air Force. Not only are there requirements for record, but there are also certain requirements for loyalty and family background. There are only 38 of these ace pilots in total, and their main task is to escort Chen Feng.

Li Xuebin and others did not give the Germans a chance to think wildly, and they launched an attack a few kilometers away from the battlefield. The 6mm sprint equipped with the J-23 fighter and other weapons fired at the same time.

"bang bang bang"

"boom boom"

.........

Li Xuebin and others did not disappoint Chen Feng. Since they joined the battlefield, the Soviet Air Force obviously felt a lot less pressure.By the time the German Air Force returned at 8:20, the Chinese and Soviet Air Forces had shot down a total of 142 German fighter planes, and an equal number of German planes had returned injured.

Soon the results of the battle were counted. Seeing the statistics of the results sent by the Moscow Air Force Command, Stalin and others fell silent.

Returning to the underground headquarters, Stalin looked at Zhukov and the others, and said, "I have seen the air battle just now, and the results of the battle have been counted. Tell me?"

Novikov stood up first and said: "Great Comrade Stalin, we must re-evaluate the strength of this Chinese general. This powerful air force alone is enough to shock us. There is no air force in the Soviet Union that can compete with this Air combat teams compete against each other."

Novikov's words surprised everyone. Not many people knew about Novikov a year ago.Now 40 years old, he was only transferred to the Chief of Staff of the Air Force Aviation Brigade in 1933. He has only entered the Air Force's combat sequence for seven or eight years, and not many people know him.

But now no one dares to underestimate this air force major general. On the third day after Hitler launched the war of aggression against the Soviet Union, Novikov, the air force commander of the Soviet Northern Front, organized and planned a major counterattack.In this battle, the Soviet Air Force dispatched more than 500 bombers and fighter planes to conduct intensive assaults on 19 German airports, destroying more than 130 German aircraft in just a few days and nights.

Under the attack of the Soviet army, the Luftwaffe stationed in Finland and northern Norway was forced to withdraw to the rear airport, giving up the recent plan for the air attack on Leningrad.This was the first aerial battle of the Soviet Air Force after the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. For this attack, the German army, which was on the offensive momentum, was unexpected.At that time, when the Soviet Air Force and even the entire Soviet army were passively beaten, the victory of this battle undoubtedly played an important role in combating the arrogance of the German army and enhancing the combat confidence of the Soviet army.

This battle also made Novikov's reputation resound throughout the Soviet Union, so he was sent back to Moscow to take charge of Moscow's air defense missions. Because of this, his evaluation of Chen Feng's air force was the most convincing.

"The great Comrade Stalin, this Chinese general is very mysterious and powerful. In the process of contacting him, I found that he has a very accurate strategic vision. In his army, there are many weapons and equipment that we have never seen before. Whether it is the armored forces on the ground or the aircraft flying in the sky, their performance is more advanced than ours, so the strength of this Chinese general really needs to be reassessed!" Zhukov also said.

Stalin also deeply believed that the air force is an emerging arm, and because of this, the air force can best reflect the problem.The Soviet Union also attached great importance to the development of the air force. This has an important relationship with the huge casualties of the Soviet Union in World War I. The trench warfare prevailed at that time, and the casualties caused by bloody confrontation were the nightmare that leaders of various countries could not get rid of after the war. The fear of the war of attrition forced the countries after the war to vigorously develop the air power that is not bound by the front in the war.

Even so, the development of the Soviet Air Force is still relatively lagging behind.As the birthplace of the European battlefield in the Great War, Nazi Germany stretched its armed forces beyond almost all countries.As the vanguard force of the Nazi military machine, the Luftwaffe participated in all operations in the war, and the invincible Luftwaffe in the early days of the war made all countries tremble.

During the German army's operations against Poland and Western Europe, its air force used almost all its power in combat to cooperate with ground forces in combat and compete for air supremacy. The German air force achieved great success in campaign operations.

Before the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, Stalin recognized the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Air Force. However, at the beginning of the Soviet-German War, thousands of fighter planes of the Soviet Air Force were destroyed by the Luftwaffe on the ground. Such heavy casualties made Stalin extremely respectful of the Air Force. disappointment.

However, they all saw the air battle just now.In the eyes of the air knights under Chen Feng's command, the invincible German Air Force is nothing more than chickens and dogs. A mere 20 fighters are enough to equal hundreds of fighters in the Soviet Union. Shot down by the Chinese Air Force.

What surprised Stalin and others the most was that none of Chen Feng's 20 fighter planes were damaged in this air battle, not to mention shot down, even if they were injured.In comparison, the Soviet Air Force was much sadder. Although the Soviet Air Force acquired 77 enemy fighters in this air battle, it paid the price of 97 being shot down and 23 injured.

Originally, Stalin had already attached great importance to Chen Feng's subordinates. Unexpectedly, before the negotiation even started, Chen Feng taught Stalin a lesson, forcing Stalin to re-evaluate Chen Feng's strength.

In fact, this is what Chen Feng wanted. He watched the entire air battle just now. Li Xuebin and others performed very well. A mere 20 fighters entered the air combat battlefield where hundreds of fighters were fighting. Instead of being annihilated, they were killed. After a bloody road, he shot down more than 60 Luftwaffe fighter planes without any damage to himself, which is really awesome.

This air battle gave Chen Feng a general understanding of the strength of the Chinese and German air forces. It can be said that with the same number of fighters, the Northern Air Force can completely overwhelm the German Air Force.Most importantly, after this battle, Stalin had to re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Air Force, which greatly deterred the high-level Soviet Union, which was very beneficial to the subsequent negotiations.
