    In the second wave of air strikes launched by the coalition's frontline air force that day, Huang Jingbo, commander of the frontline air force, did not go into battle in person. The person in charge of commanding the air formation was Colonel Li Zaolin, commander of the coalition's 2nd Fighter-Bomber Group. This time he was still dispatched.  There is a DH4 reconnaissance bomber group with 40 fighters, and an SE5 fighter group with 40 aircraft. Wing Commander Li Zaolin himself led a fr18 excellent fighter bomber group to take command.  wwwdyzww No. 1,

    As of now, 96 coalition fighter jets have taken off from three airports including Voronezh, Rylisk, and Belgorod and completed their formation in the air. They are deployed in the three directions of Kiev, Donetsk, and Dnipropetrovsk over Ukraine.  The fr18 flying team on reconnaissance patrol has not found any signs of German fighter planes returning to the skies over Ukraine. The reason why the fr18 excellence is dispatched to perform reconnaissance and air patrol missions over Ukraine is because in the event of encountering a German Fokker fighter jet, the dh4 reconnaissance fighter jet will fight in the air.  It will suffer a loss, and although the air combat performance of the SE5 is not weak, the range and sustained airborne ability are short after all.

    What's more, when the bi-wing single-seat SE5 fighter is used to perform reconnaissance missions, the pilot's efficiency in sending telegrams back while flying the aircraft is much slower than the bi-wing DH4 or FR18 Regardless of DH4 or FR18, these two bi-wing fighters  The backseat pilot is both a machine gunner, a navigator and a full-time radio operator.

    Li Zaolin does not think that the power of the dh4 reconnaissance/bombers in his wing is too small Slow big guys like the Handley Petty O/400 are more likely to become victims of the German-Ukrainian ground anti-aircraft firepower, and the formation is dispatched  Due to the speed difference between the Handley Page bombers and the DH4, SE5 and FR18, it often slows down the advancement and mobilization of the entire flight formation.

    Especially for ground air strikes in forest areas, because the infantry positions of both sides are crisscrossed below, if the air-ground coordination is not good, the possibility of the bomb being thrown on one's own head is quite high. Although the dh4 reconnaissance bomber equipped by the coalition aviation is in China  In Wang's mind, like the SE5, they are only transitional aircraft. However, compared with the various French, Austrian, and Italian aircraft flown by the students in the first three phases of the school, both the DH4 and the SE5 are already considered quite advanced and excellent combat aircraft.  airplane.

    You must know that it is only July 1918, less than 20 years since the birth of the airplane. Of course, when the airplane was born and who invented it has always been controversial. The French believe that the world¡¯s earliest airplane was invented by the Frenchman Clement  ¡¤Invented by Adel Cl¨¦mentader, it was successfully tested in France on October 9, 1890. Some people believe that he invented the first airplane in history.

    Americans believe that the inventor of the airplane was the Americans Wilburwright and Orilwright, the Wright brothers, who successfully made a test flight in the United States on December 17, 1903.  Brazilians believe that Brazilian Alberto Santos Dumont invented the airplane. On October 12, 1906, Santos Dumont's "14bis" airplane successfully flew to an altitude of 60 meters, which was the world's first successful powered flight.  , the previous flight did not meet the standard of "flying" in the true sense.

    At that time, most people generally believed that the American Wright brothers invented the airplane, while some people believed that it was invented by Clement Adel or Alberto Santos Dumont.  In 1903, the aircraft designed and manufactured by the Wright brothers in the United States successfully flew. This was the first time in the world that a heavier-than-air aircraft achieved powered and controllable flight.  In World War I, aircraft were used in combat. At that time, the speed of the aircraft reached 180 to 220 kilometers per hour, the ceiling was 6,000 to 7,000 meters, the range was 400 to 450 kilometers, and the bomber load was 1,000 to 2,000 kilograms.

    Of course, the achievements and progress in China's aviation industry and aircraft shooting manufacturing promoted and built by the King of China have made all Chinese pilots fascinated and unbelievable. Wang Zhu and Bayama, two genius-level aircraft designers, led the Chinese  In just half a year, experts from the United States, Britain, France, Italy and China at the aircraft manufacturing company successively designed, finalized and produced two all-metal skinned fighters that can be called epoch-making in the world.

    The world's first all-metal single-wing Chinese FR18 Excellent aircraft, which combines reconnaissance, combat and bombing performance, has all-round performance surpassing the reconnaissance aircraft, fighters and light bombers of the same specifications in this era. The FR18 has a faster speed than the Fokker and SE5.  With its speed, hovering combat performance, and larger bomb carrying capacity than the DH4, it can be called the best multi-purpose fighter aircraft today. It has been successfully mass-produced in Nanyuan, China, and has also performed well on the Eastern Front battlefield of the Allied Powers, becoming the flagship of the Allied Air Force.  A killer weapon and a reliable mainstay.

    As for the second fighter aircraft designed and finalized by the China Aircraft Manufacturing Company, the China BC18 Predator attack bomber, it has surpassed the Handley Page O/400 in all aspects of flight speed, altitude, bomb load, and firepower.  It is still the latest excellent medium bomber

    When Wing Commander Li Zaolin led his large fleet of 96 aircraft to reappear in the sky above Kharkov, air defense sirens shrilled in the streets, alleys and positions throughout the city.The gunfire rang out, and at this time, the 20-minute artillery preparation of the 3rd Regiment of the Japanese 3rd Division Field Artillery on the northern front had just ended

    The Ukrainian defense line and city walls in the northern suburbs were hit by the 75mm mountain field guns of the Tanaka Artillery Regiment, causing smoke and fire everywhere. However, the Ukrainian artillerymen hid in the city and did not fire a single shot

    What made Colonel Li Zaolin of the 2nd Fighter-Bomber Wing of the coalition frowned was that until his large formation appeared over Kharkov as scheduled, the former enemy headquarters of the Central Army on the ground had not been able to clearly indicate the ground targets and areas to be attacked

    What on earth is Lieutenant General Da Ting doing?

    July 31, 1918 13:20 Former enemy headquarters of the Allied Army's Middle Route Army north of Kharkiv

    "Reporting to the division commander, the leading aircraft of the Allied Air Force responsible for commanding this air strike received a call, asking us to instruct the bombing targets, asking us to instruct the bombing targets!" A staff officer of the Japanese 3rd Division rushed into Halko with a gasp.  Report from the war room of the two-story building at Hubei Suburban Station that was used as a temporary headquarters.

    Oba Erlang put down the telescope with a livid face, turned around from the observation window and shouted at the unlucky captain's staff officer, "Baga why are you panicking? Calm down!"
