Chapter 453 F-80 Meteor Jet
After the artillery fire was covered, the battle between the German and Soviet infantry troops entered a fierce killing; both sides were constantly competing for every infantry pit, every machine gun position, and artillery position; and the Scherna Army, who rushed over to support, was like a sharp knife of kangua cutting vegetables, quickly reaping lives in the Soviet army.
When the Serner Army restrained the army and attracted more and more attention and attacks from the Soviet army, Model's troops were also quickly breaking through.
All German divisions evacuated in several waves, namely assault guns, heavy weapons, various artillery, vehicles, and wounded soldiers, under the escort of tank groups and infantry units, organized evacuation.
As for those weapons or ammunition that cannot be moved, they will be destroyed immediately, and no one can be left for the Soviet army to take it away for use and research.
At this moment, batches of C-47 and C-5 transport aircraft transported a large number of German SS soldiers, tanks, heavy artillery and other weapons and equipment, and arrived at Kiev Airport.
The SS 1st Armored Division, SS Ss Skeleton Armored Division, SS Fifth "Viking" Armored Division, SS Sixth "Northern" Mountain Division and other elite SS troops immediately walked out in full armed manner as soon as the transport plane was as soon as they arrived.
"Quick! Everyone, please make your German SDKFZ251 half-crawler personnel carrier, tank, as well as American m3 half-crawler armored personnel carriers that can tow cannons, or be equipped with anti-tank artillery, anti-aircraft artillery, heavy artillery and mortars, and sdkfz9 half-crawler tractors, as well as your cheetah-style expulsion tank!"
Marx Simon, commander of the SS Skeleton Armored Division, roared deafeningly at the SS of his Skeleton Armored Division.
"Fastly follow the commander's order. Are you faster and slower and you don't eat? Model and his troops are in danger now. Go and support them! We want to give those Soviet troops a profound lesson and an unforgettable memory!"
The second-level captain Kunstman quickly agreed and urged loudly.
"You see how fast the other SS units are. Why are you still rushing slowly? Get me faster and get on your tanks and cheetah chariots!"
The even more harsh urging voice of Lieutenant Schroeder, the captain of the second-level special force, also roared deafeningly not far behind them.
After being scolded by a senior commander, the SS soldiers of the Skeleton Armored Division who were slower were immediately motivated, and the electric industry did not dare to lag behind people and rushed towards its own tanks; and the cheetah-style expulsion tank started, following the SS troops and drove towards Model's evacuation route.
At this time, Manstein, who had already arrived in Kiev from Konisburg a few days in advance, also led some of his troops; he was commanding the Ukrainian soldiers who had divided the fields and joined the German troops, and followed the SS troops to fight against the Soviet Union.
At the same time, at the airports in various German-occupied areas in Kiev that can be used, a total of 850 of the Ar-234 jet bombers, the Me262 jet fighters, and the Ta152 fighters, also took off in full; at the fastest speed, they rushed to the combat areas of Model's troops for rescue and combat against the Soviet Union.
However, most of this group of German pilots were Chen Yanlong, who asked Keseling, Garland, and Mirch to try every means. Only a small number of pilots were German pilots who were pulled from the Servant Kingdom.
However, in addition to these aircraft, Chen Yanlong also tried to use the Soviet MiG-15, and the latest US Air Force fighter in the Korean battlefield was the F-86 Sabre fighter.
The advantages of the Soviet MiG-15 are that it has a high flight altitude, a faster climbing speed, and a greater power of the cannon; the disadvantage is that it is unstable during high-speed flight and easily leads to a tail spinning and falling. Some of the Mach speeds are limited during dive, and its cannon has a relatively slow firing rate.
The US F-86 Sabre fighter has better slewing performance, high flight stability, and pilots are not easily tired; the disadvantage is that the flight altitude and climbing speed are not as powerful as the MiG-15, and the machine gun is not very powerful.
This time, Chen Yanlong dispatched a total of 50 US F-86 Sabre fighters and 50 Soviet MiG-15 fighters to appear together to test their combat power.
The Soviet army was still unaware that they were about to pay a heavy price for Chen Yanlong's large-scale counterattack this time.
At this time, North American Airlines and Lockheed, the United States, worked together to develop the F-80 "Meteor" jet at Whitepatterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio.
This is something that makes all the senior US military leaders excited because they collected the wreckage of the German me262 jet fighter and the Ar-234 jet bomber. After finally assembled into complete jet bombers and jet fighters. They obtained better production technology from the research of these jets and their original development data, and finally successfully made the f-80 "Meteor" jet in advance.
"We have finally developed it successfully. This time we can definitely fight against the German jet fighters and bombers!"
"Yes! We must kill them and take away the previous shame for our P-51 Mustang fighter's defeat to them!"
"Okay! Don't be excited about escaping. We also need to go through the orders of President Roosevelt and purchase orders to produce these F-80 "meteor" jets on a large scale!"
"Hey! I believe President Roosevelt will be very happy to hear that our development is successful. As for purchasing these aircraft for our aviation troops, it is absolutely certain to deal with those damn German jets! Because all our fighters and bombers now have no way to fight against the extremely fast German jets!"
"Yes! Because even our single-engine P-51 Mustang fighter with the longest range and the most powerful combat power is not their opponent! If there are no new aircraft to fight against the German jets, then we will gradually lose the air supremacy of the European battlefield!"
Among the most excited and enthusiastic cheers of North American Airlines and Lockheed, two senior executives, were also talking fiercely.
But in the end they called immediately to report the development results to President Roosevelt.
Upon hearing this joyful good news, President Roosevelt was radiant and excitedly sat in his wheelchair, calling his secretary to prepare a car and guard immediately to escort him to Whitepatterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio to watch the F-80 "Meteor" jet.
Of course, before leaving, he immediately called Marshall, who was about to set off for the UK; he asked him and Truman to accompany him to watch the test flight of the F-80 "Meteor" jet and discuss how many aircraft they participated in the development and production.
As for such shocking news, Marshall, who had heard the phone, shouted in surprise, yes, yes, and danced.
"What happened, Admiral Marshall, why are you so happy?"
But Truman beside him asked in confusion.
"North American Airlines, together with Lockheed, developed and produced my country's first jet fighter F-80 "Meteor, and also successfully tested it! This time we have a trump card for those new jets from the German army!"
Marshall waved his right fist happily and said with a smile.
"real!"
Truman was also excited and responded happily.
"Of course it's a true matter! President Roosevelt just called me, and asked us to take the car right away and go to Whitepatterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio to watch the F-80 "Meteor" jet."
Marshall nodded and smiled seriously.
"Then let's go right away! Admiral Marshall! After listening to it, I was too anxious to see the f-80 "Meteor" jet!"
Truman urged excitedly.
"Okay! Let's set off right away because I'm also impatient!"
Marshall waved his fist happily again and said with a bright smile.
