Chapter 660 (Part 2) Uncovering the Mystery
After the German 1st Fighter Wing and the coalition air force flew to confront each other on the border a few days ago, and there was no calmness of fighting, no one expected that on the night of July 28, 1918, such a fierce air battle would erupt in the night sky, and the results of the battle were so unexpected.
From 18:00 to 18:45 on July 28, within 45 minutes, the two sides fought back and forth.
1. In the first battle, under the command of the wing captain Hermann William Goring, the German 1st Fighter Wing sent Lieutenant Bruno Ruzel's 1st Fighter Squadron, commanded by Lieutenant Kent Von Dolin, the ace pilot and squadron mascot, to cross the border into the territory of the Volga Federation and take on the task of luring the enemy. As a result, the 1st Fighter Bomber Wing of the Alliance Air Force was responsible for night navigation patrol and duty DH4 squad, and the two sides broke out fiercely.
In the first round, the loss of the coalition air force was 0, and the fokkerdviii of the German Kent Von Dolin team was shot down by the Hangang team. The result of the first battle was 1:0.
2. Immediately after the second battle, the German Dolin team, who was responsible for the task of luring the enemy, had 3 fokkerdviiivs 4 SE5s of the Linbo team of the coalition aviation team. The Dolin team, whose speed and power of the large-caliber machine gun were insufficient, was shot down by the Linbo team and injured one (afterwards, the pilot Rooney was seriously injured and was rescued by the German army the next day)
The results of the second round, the coalition forces 1.5:0 Germans
3. The third round was followed by the 2nd German squadron, responsible for supporting the Dolin squad on the south side of the Ukrainian border. Under the personal command of squadron leader Bruno Ruzeer, the second SE5 squad of the Alliance Air Force, the 1st squadron of Lieutenant Zhao Jiadi, and the 1st squadron of Zhao Jiadi, were not expected to have an ambush from the enemy. One was shot down by Ruzeer (Pilot No. 4, the pilot was Lieutenant Hu Fei, known as the Flying Fox of the Alliance Air Force, and later successfully parachuted, but mysteriously disappeared on the Ukrainian field). One (Pilot No. 3, Pilot No. 3, Pilot No. 3, and the slightly injured No. 3 participated in the subsequent battle).
In the third round, the coalition was 0:1.5 Germans, with the total score between the two sides: 2.5:1.5, and the coalition air force was still ahead.
4. The wing leader of the German 1st Fighter Wing, Gorene personally led the four fokkerdviii of the wing unit to copy the rear route of the 4 SE5s of the wing unit, but the Linbu Squad was used to accelerate the turn and then attacked the opponent. The SE5 large-caliber machine gun fired from a long distance and shot down the 4 aircraft of the wing unit, and Gorene injured the 4 aircraft of the wing unit (the aircraft was slightly injured, and the pilot Huang Silang continued to participate in the next battle)
In the fourth round, the results of the coalition forces were 1:0.5 Germans, with the total score of both sides: 3.5:2, and the coalition air force was still ahead.
5. The German 4th Squad, led by Lieutenant Kent Stutdenet, reinforced the Gorene squad from top to bottom. The Squad and Lin Fu squad fought the second opponent's attack. Lin Fu squad, whose head machine gun was exhausted, used a magic trick to shoot down two fokkerdviii of the Squad, namely aircraft 2 and aircraft 4, respectively. Lin Fu squad's aircraft 4 was finally shot down by the opponent (pilot Huang Silang successfully parachuted and fell into Ukraine and was rescued 2 days later)
In the fifth round, the results of the coalition forces were 2:1. The total score between the two sides was 5.5:3. The coalition aviation team was still ahead. (Emperor Huang Silang never thought that his miserable No. 4 aircraft was actually scored 1.5 points by the opponent. If he had known how good it would have been shot down last round, it would have been just a point for the opponent.)
6. Lieutenant Bruno Ruzell, the squadron leader of the 26th Fighter Squadron, led the 8 fokkerdviii of the 2nd and 3rd Squadrons, the 12 SE5s of the Fighting Alliance Air Force and the reinforcements of the coalition forces. He was outnumbered and shot down 6 aircraft, and also shot down 4 opponents and injured 2. Finally, Bruno Ruzell and Lieutenant Silmo von Bloy Boscamp, the captain of the 3rd Squad, relied on ultra-low altitude flight to get rid of the coalition's pursuit and successfully returned.
In the 6th round, the Allied Forces 6:5 Germans, the total score between the two sides: 11.5:8, and the Allied Forces still led. (Of the 4 SE5s shot down by the Allied Forces, the pilots of 2 planes successfully parachute and were rescued 2 days later, while the pilots of the other two planes disappeared.)
7. The wing captain of the German 1st Fighter Wing, Gorein, led the remaining five fokkerdviii and eight Chinese FR18 fighter bombers of the Fighter Air Force. Three fokkerdviii were shot down with aircraft performance differences and outnumbered numbers, while Gorein injured a coalition FR18. Finally, the wing captain Hermann William Gorein and Kent Student, captain of the 4th Squad, also relied on ultra-low altitude flight to get rid of the coalition's pursuit and successfully returned.
The results of the 6th round were: 3:0 for the Germans, with the total score between the two sides: 14.5:8.5, and the coalition air team won the game with a shocking victory!
In this battle, the German Ace Flying Wing: the 26th Fighter Squadron of the 1st Fighter Wing lost 15 latest fokkerdviii fighters and 14 ace pilots. The entire 26th Fighter Squadron dispatched 20 fighters, and only 5 returned.
On the other hand, the coalition aviation team dispatched 32 fighter jets, including 1 DH4 fighter bomber team, 5 SE5 fighter teams and 2 FR18 fighter bomber teams, shot down 14, injured 1, and lost 7 fighter jets and 4 pilots. This was an encounter and a great victory! After this battle, the coalition aviation team quickly became one of the world's advanced aviation teams!
The new and slightly immature Chinese Air Force finally unveiled the veil of mystery in front of the world. Relying on the rapid and accurate ground command and dispatch, the combat methods of collective formations and the most powerful airborne firepower, plus a little luck, Hermann William Gorene and his 26th Fighter Squadron became stepping stones for the coalition air force to become famous in one battle.
The good show is not over. This sudden air battle is just the prelude to the Ukrainian battle. The German 1st Fighter Wing is known for its large formation spiral formation. The air battle between the two sides of the First World War is just a competition between the scale of the flight squadron and the squadron. The coalition air force will obviously accept greater challenges!
