    He wanted to lead the remaining three FokkerDviiis in his team to teach the coalition DH4 team a lesson. As for the opponent who opened fire from 300 meters away and shot down Hans in a 2-on-1 fight, to Dolin, this was completely a coalition force.  The Chinese pilots in the air force were unlucky. It was also Hans's bad luck. His tail fin was actually knocked off by the large-caliber dh4 machine gun from 300 meters away. This machine gun of the coalition forces is really the most domineering I have ever seen.  There are aviation machine guns, but compared to fighting and flying skills, how can the chubby DH4 and Chinese rookies be the opponents of German ace pilots.

    What surprised Duolin was that the three fighters on his side jumped down after somersaulting. Two of the opponent's four dh4s on one side had already turned away and were circling to the side and rear of him. **, the Chinese pilot's dog.  It's not like one or two o'clock. Dolin waved his plane's wings and signaled No. 3 and No. 4 to follow him. Then he pushed the joystick and drove his Fokkerdviii toward the opponent on the lower right.  The machine gave chase.

    At this time, a partial 3:2 situation formed in the night sky. Second Lieutenant Dorin's three German Fokker Dviii fighter jets still occupied this height and certain speed advantage, but had already passed a quarter of the heart-shaped Han Gang and  The two dh4s of his No. 2 wingman were not as good as the opponent's Fokker aircraft in climbing performance, and they were larger and heavier, so the speed of this turn was not as fast and light as the opponent's Fokker Dviii somersault.

    At this time, the No. 3 and No. 4 aircraft of the Han Gang team turned to the other side and were obviously a bit far away from the main battlefield. Within a short period of time, three aircraft were painted in white with black crosses and the Luftwaffe mark.  The white pigeon showed its ferocious face, and ferociously pounced from the side and back towards the DH4 leader and wingman who were still turning. The distance between the two sides quickly shortened from 500 meters.

    Second Lieutenant Kent von Dorling even had time to shake his wings and signal to the No. 3 and No. 4 planes that were following him in a three-plane formation, asking them to attack the opponent's wingman and destroy the opponent's hateful DH4 leader plane.  Left to himself, Units No. 2 and Unit 3 both shook their wings in response to their captain's instructions.

    "Captain, the Germans are about to bite their tail. Our plane is so big that it can't hover and turn faster than them!" He Fang, the rear seat gunner/navigator/radioman and bombardier behind Han Gang, sounded a little nervous.  His heartbeat obviously accelerated. Although the victory in the first battle and shooting down a German plane brought great honor and excitement, it was the first time for a backseat pilot like He Fang to have his tail bitten by a real enemy fighter jet.  , the shortcomings of coalition pilots' lack of practical air combat experience were fully exposed.

    "Nonsense, strange, why didn't the Germans open fire! I said, what are you doing standing still? It's less than 500 meters away, hurry up and shoot! Is that a fire stick in your hand? Isn't the Browning rear seat machine gun for you?  It's just for show!" Team leader Han Gang was pulling the operating lever desperately, trying to gain some altitude to complete the heart-shaped reorganization of the four-machine formation. He was so angry that he turned to the pilot He Fang in the back seat and yelled.  .

    He Fang, who had just woken up from a dream, came back to his senses, tightly grasped the handles of the Browning 7.62 aviation machine gun, moved the muzzle of the gun, aimed at the German lead aircraft chasing behind him and opened fire, and a burst of fire broke out in the night sky.  Strings of shining bullets rained down in a fan shape towards the rear and above. Because Han Gang was controlling the plane, it was still turning left on the square meter, and He Fang was nervous about the gap between the enemy plane chasing behind him and his DH4.  The judgment of the relative speed and displacement advance was not accurate enough. The machine gun bullets fired were just in vain, setting off a rain of fire a few hundred meters behind the dh4, but they all missed.

    Not to mention the basketful of bullets fired by He Fang indiscriminately, the pilot in the backseat who first alerted the wingman also fired up his machine gun and sprayed a hail of bullets to cover the rear of the two-plane formation, while also chasing after him.  Second Lieutenant Kent von Dorling broke out in a sweat. Only then did he realize that the fat and slightly clumsy opponent was not a single-seat fighter, but a two-seat fighter-bomber with close to 360-degree fire coverage. Now  Dorin immediately calmed down. He might not be able to take advantage of him if he chased him straight from behind. He would have to attack from the flanks and above.

    Dorin was still thinking about how to deal with the DH4 that was continuing to circle in front of him. The pilots of the No. 2 and No. 3 planes beside him were also aces. At this moment, the backseat pilot of the coalition was furious with the rearward shooting.  Putting aside the rules that the Red Baron had always emphasized when he led the team, he had to be close enough to the enemy aircraft before firing. The two Fokker Dviiis opened fire one after another. Since the height difference between the two sides quickly narrowed, the dh4 had the speed advantage in level flight.  Reflected.

    Therefore, although the two dh4 aircraft of the coalition looked embarrassed, under the cover of the rear seat machine guns, they hit the three FokkerDviii fighters in the rear. They dodged left and right, but they were still unable to get close to the shooting distance that the German pilots of the 26th Squadron were accustomed to.  , that is, the firing distance within 100 meters.

    And as the dh4 ahead persistently circled to the left, Second Lieutenant Kent von Dorling suddenly came to his senses. Damn it, the leader of the dh4 in the coalition also had bad intentions.Ah, relying on the cover of the rear seat machine gun, this guy must be waiting for the four planes to merge and catch him off guard!  The Chinese were not very good at flying, but they had to guard against this tactic. Dolin turned his head in the cockpit and looked back. The two coalition DH4 aircraft that were circling to the right in the distance had almost circled back.

    If he hesitated any longer, he was likely to be attacked by the other side. Second Lieutenant Kent von Dorling cursed and decided to give up the pursuit for the time being. It was more important to perform the task of luring the enemy. The number of fighter planes on both sides was now 4:3. The Chinese  The number of machine guns on the aircraft is 8:6, and the power and lethality of the large-caliber heavy machine gun on the nose of the opponent's aircraft cannot be underestimated.

    Dolin swung the wings left and right, signaling to withdraw from the battle. The No. 2 and No. 3 wingmen were chasing the wingman. Although they almost hit each other several times at a distance of 300 meters, the wings of their own planes were also hit.  The bullets sprayed by the opponent's rear seat machine gun penetrated several holes. If the attack continued like this, I would probably kill a thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses. It was not worth it. Although the German ace pilot's face was a little lost, the coalition's dh4 was really not that good.  It's so easy to deal with. Now I see Captain Duolin giving the order to leave, and there happens to be a step down.
