Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Of course, Han Gang believes that with the increase in China's fr18 production capacity, aircraft like the dh4 will be completely replaced sooner or later, but at this moment, in order to get more opportunities for actual combat duty, and because flying the dh4 is not subject to as many restrictions as the fr18, at the same time  , the honor and pride of commanding a team of 4 aircraft also made Han Gang a little reluctant to give up. Therefore, this outstanding trainee of the second phase of the crash course was still flying dh4 in Belgorod and Kazakhstan on the eve of the Ukrainian campaign.  Enjoy the night sky above the border between Russia and Russia.

    Seeing that his partner in the back seat was chatting about cross-border operations again, Han Gang, the captain of the 3rd team, said without looking back, "Just calm down, the German Fokker aircraft can't do it in the first place."  It is a night-flying fighter, which consumes a lot of fuel and has a short endurance. Moreover, I estimate that even if we cross the border to torment them, they may not be willing to take off at night. Can we blindly bomb the opponent's anti-aircraft gun position? Only a few bombs like ours can be dropped blindly.  How effective is it?¡±

    "Captain, if you ask me, whether it is a mule or a horse, it will escape sooner or later. In the past few days, the SE5 fighter squadron of the 2nd Brigade has fought several real air battles with the German Fokker aircraft. It is a pity that they were not able to fight with us.  While beating the opponent down, they only damaged two Fokker Dviiis, and one of their SE5s was also damaged. Fortunately, the pilot was fine!" Second Lieutenant He Fang was obviously familiar with his captain's temper, and continued to talk to him in an envious tone.  The captain grinds his teeth.

    "The speed of the German aircraft is not that good, but the maneuvering and hovering capabilities are definitely not inferior to our dh4. After all, they are single-seat fighter jets. They can do somersaults, turns, tail pursuits, etc. better than us. Besides, they are better than us.  Although our pilots have not too few flying hours, their actual combat experience is obviously inferior to those of the German pilots who fought with the British and French air forces on the Western Front all day long!" Han Gang gently lifted the nose of the plane and shook his wings.  At this time, the signal lights on both wings flashed alternately to signal.

    Then he pushed the control column, and the lead aircraft dh409711231 made a 30-degree turn to the right under the control of this man. The wingman and the No. 2 crew behind him also followed in unison. The four aircraft of the 3rd team  At this time, dh4 has patrolled above the Kharkiv-Belgorod railway line. The white light on the ground railway line is particularly conspicuous in the night.

    "Captain! About 5 kilometers away at 3 o'clock, there seems to be a light flashing!" He Fang suddenly shouted.

    "Nah! It's a German plane. If we can't get over, they actually sneak over in a roundabout way! Send a report to the headquarters, 40 kilometers south of Belgorod, direction 3 o'clock, altitude 3000 meters, distance 5500  Mi, four German planes were found to have crossed the border, and my team went to intercept them!" Han Gang's tone was filled with excitement and a hint of nervousness, but he issued the order strictly according to the rules.

    He Fang, who was in the back seat, immediately used Morse code to send the instructions given by Captain Han Gang to his wingman and No. 3 and No. 4 aircraft. At the same time, the radio code reported to the wing headquarters was also quickly sent.  In the two-seat fighters of the Allied Air Force, there are strict assessments and requirements for the transmission speed of the rear-seat navigator and radio operator. Of course, all radio codes of the Allied Air Force have encrypted and self-contained systems of commonly used short codes.  surface.

    For example, the series of orders Han Gang just sent out are converted into the code bdss04030354fa, and once the wireless telegram is sent, not only the former enemy headquarters in Belgorod will receive it, but also the Eagle Eye that executes 24-hour aerial warning.  Early warning aircraft can also receive it, the wing headquarters in Voronezh can also receive it, and other surrounding coalition flying squads performing air patrol missions can also receive it.

    Soon, as Han Gang led his team to rush towards the German Fokker Dviii aircraft located 500 meters below him from the side at 5,500 meters, He Fang, who was listening to the radio transceiver with headphones in the back seat, was already  Then reported, "The headquarters has dispatched 4 SE5s from the 2nd Squadron of the 1st Squadron of the 2nd Fighter Group and 4 SE5s from the 1st Squadron of the 3rd Squadron to support us. They are located 8 kilometers behind us and 7 kilometers ahead!"

    "Pass my order, No. 3 and No. 4 will maintain high cover, and No. 2 will catch up with me!" Han Gang gave the order without looking back. He increased the throttle to the maximum, pushed the control stick, and the DH4 fighter-bomber roared.  Then he jumped down from a height behind the sides of four German Fokker aircraft. For the DH4 with a maximum speed of 230 kilometers per hour, the distance of 5,500 meters was only 1 minute and 30 seconds. In such a short time as telegrams were exchanged, the coalition forces  The four planes of the Chinese Air Force have approached less than 2,000 meters away from the other side.

    Due to its advantages in speed and altitude, and the dh4 fighter-bomber having a rear seat gunner, it can be called an aerial hedgehog with 360-degree firepower coverage. Therefore, although Han Gang does not have an advantage in the number of aircraft at 4:4, he does not have an advantage in the number of aircraft.  There was no trace of timidity or fear. In addition to being excited, I was excited. While increasing the accelerator, I rushed towards the Germans at the bottom and said without looking back,

    "He Fang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At the moment, the other party only has one squadron of four aircraft. Let's take them all.?Don¡¯t let go of any of them!  We won't have much to eat when the reinforcements arrive!  "

    Han Gang knows that in terms of combat ability, his DH4 is not as good as his brother's SE5, so relying on speed and height to catch the opponent off guard is the best thing to do. If he waits for the two SE5 teams to catch up, he will not be able to do anything!

    During the previous daytime patrols and confrontations along the border between the two sides, the number of German formations had never been less than two squads, and to be fair, the Germans were much more familiar with formation tactics than the Allied Air Force.  The cover and circling attack tactics are quite good. If the combat performance of the SE5 is not inferior to that of the Fokker aircraft, and the level flight speed is faster than the opponent, it is estimated that many coalition pilots who lack actual air combat experience will suffer a lot.

    As for the dh4, this two-seat fighter-bomber is a good material for collective operations in large formations. The front and rear machine guns can complete a 360-degree fire coverage. As long as the formation is not scattered, the German Fokker aircraft is really a bit of a dog-eating hedgehog.  Lower your mouth.

    The leader of the cross-border sneak attack tonight was Lieutenant Bruno Luzer, the commander of the 26th Fighter Squadron of the German 1st Fighter Wing. The commander of the 1st Fighter Wing, Hermann Wilhelm Goering, was just shot down at this time.  The ace of 21 enemy planes and the recipient of the "Blue Max" medal, his subordinate Bruno Luzer's kill data was twice as exaggerated as that of G?ring, the wing leader.
