Imperial Overlord

In the vast sky, two German fighter jets flew one after the other. In this airspace of the Soviet Union, German fighter jets are kings in the sky.

​​

They could easily shoot down Soviet planes and slaughter those Soviet pilots who dared to take to the skies as if they were teasing their prey.

​​

Fighting on the Eastern Front, the Luftwaffe pilots call it a place for record-breaking. Air Force fighter pilots stationed in France often apply to be transferred to the Eastern Front to participate in less intense air operations.

​​

Contrary to the infantry, German soldiers stationed in France can often get vacations and go home to visit their family members, so the infantry prefers to be transferred to France to serve, and their life safety is guaranteed.

​​

On the Air Force side, it was a different story: pilots wanted to serve on the Eastern Front and get as many enemy planes as possible.

​​

See you, some German fighter pilots have already shot down hundreds of fighter jets on the Eastern Front.

​​

This kind of record of bullying a rookie can quickly make a resume beautiful. This is why there are so many super ace pilots of the Luftwaffe in World War II.

​​

It is a common saying in various countries that shooting down 5 enemy planes can earn the title of ace pilot.

​​

During World War II, the number of German pilots who shot down 5 fighter jets was almost impossible to count. There are even dozens of fighter pilots who have shot down more than 00 fighter jets.

​​

The most powerful ace pilot, Hardman, shot down 352 enemy fighter jets by himself, becoming the first person in the history of world air combat.

​​

In addition to the reason that the German ace pilots fought in the front line all the year round and were not transferred to the rear as training officers like the United Kingdom and the United States, there is another reason that the air combat on the Eastern Front has always been a one-sided situation.

​​

In real history, in 944, the Allied planes were rampant in the German mainland, and when they were raging everywhere, the air superiority of the Eastern Front was always in the hands of the Luftwaffe.

​​

For those German super ace pilots who are burdened with the record of shooting down more than 200 fighter jets, basically 90% of the record was obtained on the Eastern Front.

​​

Just looking at the interception record of the German super ace pilots against British and American fighter jets is actually not an exaggeration.

​​

Hardman, who shot down 352 enemy planes, only shot down 7 planes of British and American counterparts, and the remaining more than 340 planes were shot down by Soviet counterparts...

​​

Another Gerhard Buckhorn, who has broken the record of 300 downed enemy planes, has never shot down a single British or American fighter.

​​

Major Günter Lal, who ranked third in the world air combat record, only shot down 4 British and American planes, and the remaining 27 were shot by Soviet fighters...

​​

Therefore, when it comes to the real king of dog fighting in Germany, it may be Erich Rudolfler, Heinz Barr, and the famous pilot Marceau who died in Africa. Most of the enemy planes they shot down were British and American fighter planes, and the gold content was much higher

​​

It is precisely because of this that the German fighter pilots like to perform patrol and interception missions on the Eastern Front, because this is completely to give them a record.

​​

But today, everything seems to be different. Two German fighter jets rushed out of the clouds one after the other and saw the enemy directly in front of them.

​​

"Directly ahead! Directly in front! Ten enemy planes!" At the beginning, the enemy was still far away, so it was just some black spots, and the German pilots were not too nervous.

​​

Not to mention ten enemy planes, at the beginning of the Soviet-German war, it was very common for two German fighter jets to chase and kill dozens of Soviet fighter jets, and there was nothing wrong with it.

​​

You must know that the Air Force is a high-tech arm. The difference in technology and the level of pilots is enough to determine the outcome of the battle between the two sides. As for the quantity, that is not the key factor.

​​

To be more precise, the Soviet Air Force could hardly pose any threat to German fighter jets except for the German fighter jets that were forced to run out of ammunition to leave.

​​

The battle loss ratio between the two sides was as high as ten to one or even higher, because the German fighters were not much worse than the Soviet aircraft in number.

​​

"Something's wrong! Captain! Their speed is wrong!" As the fighter jets on both sides flew closer and closer, the wingman discovered the problem.

​​

The shadow of the opponent's fighter is not like a stubby I-plane, but a sharper and more streamlined style.

​​

"Not an I-fighter! Kind of like a P-40! Possibly a US-aided P-40 fighter!" !"

​​

The wingman did not dare to be careless and began to adjust his flight altitude. The German fighters began to climb, and the Soviet fighters seemed to be adjusting their altitude at the same time.

​​

"Damn! They are also climbing! They are also climbing! Be careful to maintain the formation! The 04 patrol formation calls for support! The 04 patrol formation calls for support!" The lead plane saw the reaction of the other fighter, and felt the danger, he immediately contacted the distant place behind him 's headquarters.

​​

Under normal circumstances, German patrol formations are reluctant to call for reinforcements. After all, there are many monks and few meat, and the record is the most comfortable thing to eat.

​​

But now, he had to call someone to help, because as the fighters on both sides got closer and closer, he found that he was not facing the P-40 fighter he was familiar with.

​​

"It's not an American P-40 fighter! It's a new type of aircraft! It's a new type of Soviet aircraft!" Seeing the difference, the leader immediately reminded the wingman, "Continue to climb and get rid of these planes!"

​​

Because he didn't know the opponent's performance, the seasoned leader decided not to get entangled with these planes, get out of the battle as soon as possible, and join the reinforcements.

​​

There is a new type of enemy aircraft in this airspace. This information is important. It must be reported to the superior department as soon as possible, and all nearby combat troops will be notified.

​​

"The speed of the enemy plane is very fast! It is faster than the P-40 fighter!" The wingman followed the lead plane to increase his height, while he followed suit.

​​

The opponent seemed to sense that the German fighter jets were about to run away, so they rushed over at a high speed in pursuit. For a time, the engines roared in the sky, and the fighter jets on both sides were entangled.

​​

"Dive to the right! Accelerate to get rid of!" In desperation, the German leader ordered the wingman to continue to accelerate, and the patrolling F-90 fighter was faster.

​​

With the rapid increase in the power of the engine, the plane also bumped slightly. At an altitude of more than 7,000 meters, the flying speed of the German fighter jets was vividly reflected.

​​

If it was in the past, the Soviet aircraft would have been thrown away long ago. But this time, the German fighter jet dived from a height of more than 8,500 meters to more than 7,000 meters, and the opponent was still not far behind.
