Take Taobao to fight against Japan

There is no way, the shadow of a famous tree, the Soviet pilots have long known and hated this top ace pilot of the German army who has long been famous.

Rudel is a super tank killer in the Luftwaffe, the world-famous "King of Stuka", created a war myth in the history of world air combat, and reached an unprecedented height!

But for the Soviet army, he was already the veritable number one "angel of death" on the Eastern Front. Because he destroyed a large number of Soviet tanks, he had already become the prey coveted by Soviet pilots at this time. A bounty was issued.

Obviously, whoever can shoot him down will mean supreme glory.

"Comrades immediately enter the battle, no matter what we can't let this demon escape from us today!"

"Never let him run! Charge!"

"Ulla! Ulla!"

As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when meeting each other. When they saw Rudel's coquettish car with a poisonous snake pattern, several Soviet fighter planes including Shostakov rushed over like chicken blood.

Soon, over the Transnistria on the eastern front, a thrilling life-and-death duel of top aces took place.

The word "ace" was originally coined by the French in World War I, referring to pilots who shot down 5 or more planes in an air battle, and "ace" became a synonym for excellent pilots.

According to statistics, in the two world wars, 40% of the enemy planes shot down by the pilots of the participating countries were the records of the aces who only accounted for 4% of the total number of pilots!

It can be seen that in the war, the trump card really played the role of the pillar of the army with one against ten.

However, in actual air combat, there are relatively few opportunities for aces to face each other. On the one hand, there are few opportunities to meet each other. On the other hand, even if they meet, everyone is a master. Very few.

Today, however, there was a life-and-death showdown between top aces. The attacker was the ace of the Soviet Air Force, Shostakov, commander of the 69th Aviation Regiment, and the defender was Rudel, the ace of the German Air Force and the "King of the Stukas."

Shostakov's fighter is currently the most advanced Soviet Union's La-5FN fighter. It was one of the Soviet Union's main fighters in the middle and late World War II.

This model uses the M-82PN engine with fuel nozzle technology to improve high-altitude performance. At the same time, the height of the rear fuselage is reduced and a new cockpit is adopted, which improves the vision in all directions. Its performance can not only compete with Bf-109G, Still comparable to Fw-190.

Shostakov himself is also very powerful. He led the 69th Aviation Regiment in a fierce air battle with 14 Me.109s of the Luftwaffe, and achieved an impressive record of shooting down 9 Me.109s without any loss.

Before today, Shostakov had flown 200 missions, participated in 32 air battles, and achieved the result of shooting down 15 enemy planes.

It seems that this result is not ranked among the final Soviet aces, but don’t forget that the time is March 1944. At this time, the Soviet Air Force has just stood up, and the Soviet Union’s number one ace, Kozhdub, has only shot down 3 aircraft. It's just an enemy plane.

"Damn devil, let's see where you escape today!"

The collision of power and power is always so simple and rough. Shostakov led his subordinates to launch a resolute attack. The German plane was destroyed and fled in a short time, while he himself "bited" Rudel's landline.

"Why is this damn Russian so difficult?"

Seeing that he could not get rid of Shostakov, Rudel drove the plane into the ultra-low altitude mode, but Shostakov still pursued closely, unable to get rid of the pursuers in his eagerness.

Chapter 1575

"You bloody and sinful executioner, go die right now!"

Facing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hunt demons, how could Shostakov let go of the dog, and chased after him crazily regardless, clung to Rudel's car tightly, and scrambled wildly along the way.

Rudel, who has an extremely strong desire to survive, naturally won't sit still, and keeps doing various tactical evasion operations, moving around coquettishly, and doing his best to get rid of the fierce pursuit of the enemy plane behind him.

So, at a very close height to the ground, the two engaged in a thrilling chase within a very short distance.

In a series of ultra-low-altitude sharp turns, both sides maximized the performance of the aircraft and their own driving skills.

"My God, I don't understand how he can make such a sharp turn with my plane? Who the hell is he!"

As soon as the so-called expert shot, after a series of chases, Rudel's heart gradually began to sink. He deeply knew that he was bitten by an extremely good La-5 pilot this time, most likely because he wanted to kill him. More good luck less.

Because in the final analysis, the Ju-87G is just a dive bomber with a maximum speed of no more than 400 km/h.

而追击他的是苏联最新型号的当前最先进的拉-5FN战斗机，不仅火力强大配备了2门载弹400发的20mm机炮，最大飞行速度高达650千米/小时.

The two are not equal opponents at all, not to mention that the one chasing him is likely to be the ace of the Soviet army!

Thinking of this, Rudel's forehead was covered with sweat, and he felt that death was so close like never before, and a feeling of despair quickly spread.

However, hope is always around the corner. Just when Rudel was almost desperate, he suddenly heard Cartman, the machine gunner in the back seat, shout excitedly: "Great, I hit him!"

"Really? Was he shot down?"

Rudel's spirit was shaken immediately. Although he didn't have the time to look back to confirm the result of the battle, and he didn't know what happened, but endless hope and strength surged in his heart.

"Yes! Major Rudel, that damned Soviet fighter plane has lost control and is continuing to fall. It will fall soon..."

Before Cartman finished speaking, there was an extremely violent explosion sound.

"Great, I have to say that today we met a real opponent! Anyway, we have saved our lives! God bless, Amen!!"

At this time, Rudel dared to look back.

Sure enough, it was found that there were no pursuers behind, and a cloud of thick smoke was rising from the ground obliquely below.

Until then, Rudel breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right, Major Rudel, you are indeed the best ace pilot in the Third Reich. If it weren't for you, we would definitely be doomed today!"

After the excitement, Cartman was equally terrified, the degree of danger today was the closest he was to death in his life.

Several times he felt that he must die, but Rudel avoided the fatal blow time and time again by relying on his miraculous and incomparable coquettish positioning.

"No, no, this is the result of our joint efforts!"

Chatting happily, Rudel did not let down his vigilance, and still kept returning at full speed.

"Bastard, that damned German, shot down Comrade Shostakov's car!"

"No! Comrade Shostakov!"

"Quick, rush up, don't let this damn German get away!"

"We must let him pay in blood!"

The Soviet fighter pilots in the rear were all dumbfounded. They originally thought that their commander would be able to smash this damn poisonous snake into pieces and win the supreme glory of shooting down the top ace pilot of the German army.

However, they thought about the beginning, but they didn't think about the end. Just a few seconds ago, the commander and top ace pilot who was beating up by the German guy suddenly crashed and died under the noses of themselves and others.

The red-eyed Soviet pilots roared on the communication channel one after another, like beasts that were completely enraged, they pushed the throttle to the maximum one after another, and rushed towards Rudel in the distance at the fastest speed.

Although the Jedi fought back and killed the pursuers, Rudel was deeply aware that he was far from out of danger, and it was even more impossible to slow down and look back to watch the excitement.

After a very difficult escape, Rudel finally got rid of the frantic pursuit of the Soviet fighter group and returned to his own safety zone.

Afterwards, Rudel wrote in his diary: "..., he may have been hit by Cartman, or his plane was stalled and spiraled by the turbulence caused by my plane's sharp turn. .

But it doesn't matter, I suddenly heard the pilot's desperate cry from the Soviet military band in my earphones. From the confusing information, I learned that the one who just crashed was a very famous pilot, and may even be a Hero of the Soviet Union. the winner. "

War is like this, life and death are often decided in an instant.

Rudel survived the catastrophe, and 16 days after the battle, he was awarded Germany's highest military honor-"Knight of the Order of Diamond Double Swords and Silver Oak Leaves"!

It is worth mentioning that Rudel is one of the very few aces who can get a good death.

When Germany surrendered on May 1945, 5, Colonel Rudel made his last flight on the Stuka in Bohemia.

He approached the U.S. Army to arrange for him and his team to fly from Soviet-occupied territory to American-occupied territory and was successful, becoming a successful businessman in postwar Germany.

And Shostakov, who failed to create miracles and rewrite history, was lost in the long river of star-studded trump cards after people mourned for his demise for a short time.

An Allied camp on Guadalcanal.

Lu Zefu, Xu Jinglei, Glover and others were sitting around eating canned food. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was extremely pleasant.

After more than 5 months of a see-saw war of attrition, the Allied forces finally gained the absolute initiative of Guadalcanal and surrounded the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese army has reinforced several times before and after, and the cumulative army strength invested in Guadalcanal Island is about 3.6, and there are more than 900 combat aircraft of various types, the Allied forces are even stronger. The current total force on Guadalcanal Island alone has reached More than 6 people were recruited.

Various types of combat aircraft, main battle tanks, heavy artillery and other technical equipment have also reached a terrifying saturation on the Allied side, forming a crushing advantage over the Japanese defenders on Guadalcanal Island.

At present, the Allied Forces on Guadalcanal Island are organizing and planning the final attack on the Japanese army. They are scheduled to launch a general attack at noon tomorrow to completely capture the Japanese army's defense system centered on Pingyuan Airport.

The attack mission of Lu Zefu, Glover and others is to take down the 123 highland that the Japanese army is firmly defending before it gets dark today.

At the same time, there are also the same attacking troops in several other directions. What they have to do today is to conquer the surrounding commanding heights of the Japanese army with the airport as the core position, and create prerequisites for the general attack at noon tomorrow.

"Gentlemen, assemble, it's time to send these damn Japs to God."

"Guys, fuck guys, get ready to fight!"

After having a full meal, the offensive troops began to gather together and mobilize before the battle, and a series of tragic battles were about to start.

Chapter 1576 Emergency

"set off!"

"GO! GO! GO!"

After the entire team has been assembled, a branch of the Allied attacking force advances towards its respective attacking objective.

Fighting with the Huben Marine Corps this time, not only the 1st Marine Regiment of the 1st Marine Division, but also a regiment of the New Zealand and Canadian coalition forces.

During World War II, New Zealand and Japan belonged to the same combat area. As part of the Commonwealth, New Zealand not only cooperated with the British army in Europe and Africa, but also participated in all the battles in North Africa. At this time, it was also responsible for participating in the battle against the Japanese.

Throughout the history of World War II, New Zealand can be said to be the most staunch ally of the Commonwealth of Nations. It spared no effort to support the United Kingdom from the beginning of the war and made indelible contributions to the great cause of the world's anti-fascism.

However, Canada, which also belongs to the Commonwealth of Nations, seems to be "long overdue".

In the early days of World War II, the United States pursued isolationism and did not provide much support to the British Empire in the European battlefield, showing a very indifferent attitude.

Canada, which was also not involved in the war, also had a relatively deep-rooted isolationist sentiment in the early days of the war. The discussion on whether to support the United Kingdom has been in a dilemma.

Although Canada is nominally a vassal of the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom recognized Canada's "equal status" as early as 1926 and gained diplomatic independence. It became a member of the Commonwealth of Nations in 1931, and its parliament also obtained the same legislative power as the British Parliament.

Canada has the right to choose whether to participate in the war against Germany. Canada declared war on Germany six days after Britain declared war, instead of declaring war on Germany on the same day as New Zealand and Australia.

Today, Canada has already been deeply involved in World War II, not only actively sending troops, but also transporting various support to the front line, and the upcoming Normandy landing, they will serve as one of the main forces and show extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Throughout World War II, Canada, with only 1200 million people, sent millions of Canadians to fight on the front lines in Europe during the six-year period. Among them, 37500 Canadian soldiers died and another 55000 Canadians were injured.

Especially when Britain was isolated and helpless after the fall of France, Canada once became the second most powerful country against fascism.

After that, it successively participated in major battles such as the liberation of Italy and the Normandy landing, and provided material assistance to other anti-fascist countries through various means. It was an important logistics base for the allies.

In addition, Canada is also involved in the development of atomic weapons, and its agents are also active in dangerous enemy-occupied areas.

In a word, although the contribution of the Canadian army in World War II was obviously not as good as that of the US army and the British army, it also made outstanding contributions.

Interestingly, after the end of World War II, Canadian soldiers returned home one after another from the spring of 1945 to mid-1946. Canadian veterans brought back 48000 "war brides" (mostly British girls) and 22000 children born during the war.

Calculated in this way, Canada sacrificed 37500 soldiers for World War II, but World War II also added 7 new Canadians to Canada. For Canada, which is sparsely populated, population is an extremely important asset.

Opportunities and challenges have always coexisted. Canada made a major contribution in World War II and also quietly rose because of it.

Before World War II, as a vassal state of the United Kingdom, Canada's industrial foundation was weak, and its economy was mainly based on agriculture and mining.

However, as a country of European immigrants, Canada has a high-quality population, rich resources and a certain industrial base.

After the outbreak of World War II, Canada, which was far away from the battlefield, became the rear of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom transferred a large number of factories and production lines to Canada. Stimulated by the huge war demand, Canada's industry developed rapidly.

At the end of World War II, Canada was the fourth largest industrial power at that time, and its industrial strength was second only to the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain.

Its military strength was also among the best in the world, and it was a veritable world-class power at that time.

"Everyone, be careful, shoot immediately if you find anything abnormal, don't hesitate!"

After Lu Zefu led the Huben Marine Battalion and followed the large troops through the jungle, his eyes suddenly became brighter.

Standing by the edge of the forest, Lu Zefu could already see the 123 highland three to four kilometers away with his naked eyes.

This 123 hill guards the southern gateway of the Longa floodplain and plays a vital strategic role.

In front of the 123 highland, there is a 1-kilometer-long plain and wild land, as well as rolling hills with gentle slopes.

At this moment, the plain grassland in front of Lu Zefu and others has dense plants that are as tall as a person and resemble reeds and sorghum.

At a glance, it looks exactly like the green gauze tent in "Yellow River Cantata".

Facing the grassland with dense vegetation and low visibility, the Allied soldiers did not dare to be careless. They pulled the bolts, loaded the bullets, and checked the weapons and equipment again.

After confirming that they were all ready for battle, everyone pulled the skirmisher line into the grassland to search and advance, heading towards the hilly area not far away.

Holding his assault rifle, Lu Zefu focused his attention on the front. The tall plants in his field of vision kept retreating, and the rustling sound kept ringing in his ears.

The atmosphere seemed very tense. Although no one encountered any situation after walking several hundred meters, no one was careless, and they all put on a posture as if they were facing a big enemy.

Because until the end, no one can guarantee whether there is an ambush in this piece of wild grass. It may be safe for one second, or dense firepower will suddenly appear in the next second, and then it will be like a storm. It rained down a large group of people.

"Oh, Falk!"

"These damned devils!"

"Shet! These beasts!"
