Top Gun's bloody battle in the sky looks like the most realistic and passionate air battle blockbuster from the ground not far away. Our own fighter jets rushed to the airspace of the combat zone and have been looking up to the sky from time to time to closely watch the battle situation.
It was almost no surprise to Malashenko that the situation was instantly reversed by the entry of German fighter jets into the battlefield.
"The turning radius and low-altitude dogfighting performance of this beast are definitely better than the bf109f. According to the original historical time, it is almost the time for these guys to join the battlefield. There is no need to guess the outcome of this air battle.
....."
While shaking his head, he had basically guessed the only outcome of the fierce air battle in the blood-stained sky above his head, which was to let a relatively old high-altitude fighter like the MiG-3 deal with the German's most cutting-edge BF109F at a low altitude that it was not good at. This kind of close
Malashenko's tragic one-sided battle situation has not been seen too much in the relevant air combat records of later generations.
"The situation in the sky can last for a while longer. In this time, we must quickly deal with these Germans' crispy little turtles! Before those Stukas can join the battle again!"
With such a firm idea in his mind, Malashenko immediately put his upper body slightly out of the turret back into the vehicle, and with a dexterous movement of closing the turret roof, he immediately blurted out an unquestionable order.
"Iushkin, keep fighting until none of the German tanks can fire at us! The battle in the sky will probably be won in a short time, you know what I mean! Do it!
Before that, seize the last moment to end everything!"
I knew very well in my heart what the words of my comrade Malashenko, the commander of the vehicle, meant. I had always been puzzled by the battle that had taken place in the sky from the perspective of myself who did not know much about air combat.
Iushkin, who operated the turret steering gear and the main gun elevation machine in his hand with one precise turn, blurted out almost subconsciously.
"I really can't understand how the battle in the sky could be like this, Comrade Commander! Why can those German fighter jets keep suppressing our fighter jets and slaughter them at will? This is simply worse than a tank battle on the ground.
It’s one-sided, what the hell is going on!?”
With Iushkin’s angry and helpless expression in his eyes and his almost roaring words in his mind, Malashenko, who was also filled with a sense of powerlessness in his heart, as a future time traveler,
Naturally, we know how difficult the Luftwaffe, which has been given the name of legend, is to deal with.
The Luftwaffe, with both quantity and quality, was a nightmare-like existence for the Soviet aviation in 1941.
"Stop complaining, Iushkin! Do what you have to do! Those German tanks are charging at us, they are coming!"
In just a few dozen minutes since his Stuka fleet joined the battle, Lieutenant Colonel Walter, who had experienced ups and downs like a roller coaster, was almost speechless.
The sudden entry of the Soviet fighter aviation unit into the battlefield was like a bucket of cold water, which instantly extinguished the short-term hope brought by the Stuka. Lieutenant Colonel Walter, who had thought that this would completely stop him, had not had time to get discouraged and yell.
, the bf109 fleet, which once again came with full of hope, instantly reversed the unfavorable air combat situation and chased the Soviet army all the way to fight.
This kind of aerial drama, which is like taking turns on stage, has completely subverted Lieutenant Colonel Walter's understanding of air combat. Due to his professional background, he is also not very proficient in the details of air combat. Like Malashenko, Lieutenant Colonel Walter looks up to the sky.
The colonel only knows that the Stukas are currently unable to fight again.
After hesitating between a rock and a hard place, he finally chose to continue fighting with his opponent, the Soviet tank troops, with all his strength. The reason for making such a choice was because his opponent had been half-battered by the bombing and almost lost his organic combat effectiveness, and he refused to give up.
Lieutenant Colonel Walter, who had such a great opportunity, chose to seize the opportunity to completely eliminate this rather difficult opponent.
It's just that between these two armored torrents that have also suffered heavy losses, who can win the final victory cannot be changed at all by the subjective consciousness in their hearts.
"All crews, charge forward! Get close to these Russian tanks and destroy them!"
"Comrades, behind us is Moscow. We must not let these German tanks rush through our defense lines and kill them in the name of the guards!"
The commanders of both sides yelled out their final orders, which were almost like screams, and echoed in their respective radio communication channels at the same time. The Soviet tank soldiers and German armored soldiers were tortured to the point of exhaustion in the cruel fire of hell but still had their willpower.
Understand that it is time to put in the last bit of effort in this steel strangulation that has exhausted blood and strength.
The German tanks, which suddenly emitted a burst of thick black smoke from the engine exhaust pipe, surged up again and rushed straight towards the Soviet tanks. The Soviet tank soldiers, who strictly carried out Malashenko's orders, also stood still.
Everyone sitting in Taishan began to turn the turrets in an attempt to grasp the last effective attack distance.
Boom boom boom boom——
The muzzle flashes roared and they opened fire almost simultaneously. The remaining Soviet heavy tanks used their last strength to try to prevent the enemy from approaching them.
However, the German armored soldiers, who were running at full speed at a distance of less than 400 meters, continued to use skillful and irregular maneuvers to avoid the Soviet armor-piercing shells as much as possible in an attempt to cross this final life-and-death distance.
.
Lieutenant Colonel Walter, who had personally boarded a captured Soviet KV1 heavy tank and inspected it carefully, knew very well that the Soviet KV1, which did not use an electric turret steering gear but purely drove the 7-ton turret by hand, had
It suffers from a very serious problem of too slow turret speed.
Lieutenant Colonel Walter's wishful thinking was to make full use of the shortcomings of the Soviet KV1 heavy tank turret's slow rotation to engage in a flexible close-quarters battle after crossing the final attack distance that could not harm the Soviet heavy tanks.
war.
Relying on the relatively flexible maneuverability of the German tanks, the Soviet gunners were in a panic while controlling the turret steering gear. In the end, they were all wiped out by the German tanks riding on their faces with armored flank attacks.
In fact, if the battle situation is not a last resort, Lieutenant Colonel Walter, who has very rich experience in armored combat command, is extremely reluctant to adopt this very costly tactic.
It's just that the few German tanks that have been wiped out in the open fire are no longer enough to support the original outflanking tactics. If the troops are divided into two groups and attack sideways, the German tanks may even be defeated by Soviet tanks.
Each one defeats the risk of annihilation in one fell swoop.
