Chapter 661 (1) War will inevitably cause casualties

July 29, 1918 at 8:00 Belgorod, over Ukraine

The next morning, the fierce battle between the Luftwaffe and the Allied Allied Air Force on the night before shocked the world. No one could have expected that the fighter pilots of the Eastern League Air Force could actually fight with aces like the 26th Combat Squadron of the 1st Fighter Wing. Of course, the first news media of the Volga Federation was the first to receive the press release.

In a press release circulated by the Volga Federal Government to the media, it strongly protested that the Luftwaffe stationed in Ukraine had violated the airspace of the Volga Federal and demanded that the Ukrainian autonomous government bear all responsibilities for this! In the news report of the Allied Eastern Front Alliance Command, it was announced that the coalition air force in the 7.28th night coalition air force repelled the invaders who violated the airspace of the Volga Federal, shot down and injured more than 14 enemy planes, and the coalition air force lost 7 aircraft.

Whether it is the press release of the Volga federal government or the war report of the Allied Eastern Front Alliance Command, they finally made a righteous and stern claim that the invaders will definitely pay the price!

In fact, the number of enemy planes shot down by the coalition air force in less than an hour that night was only half of that of the Germans. The result was 15:8. The coalition won. Of course, Hermann William Gorene, as the wing captain of the 1st Fighter Wing, did not sink or be scared. In his opinion, the fokkerdviii of his fighter squadron were all white painted with obvious white targets, which was the first to suffer.

Secondly, whether it is Bruno Ruzell, the squadron leader of the 26th Fighter Squadron or Goring himself, the firepower threat of the Alliance Air Force's SE5 was not sufficiently threatened by the Browning 12.7mm large-caliber aircraft machine gun. And who knows that the group of rookies in the Alliance Air Force can even hold the trigger and fire from 800 meters away?

As for the flight technology and driving level of the Chinese pilots in the coalition air force, Gorein and Ruzeer's evaluation was average, but the firepower was indeed very strong when the other side used intensive formations to fight, and the SE5 itself was a fighter that was not inferior to the fokkerdviii in all aspects of performance.

Of course, the luck of Chinese pilots is true. Damn, they can shoot for the first time 500 meters away. This is not a rookie, and the German ace may not be able to do it. However, although the opponent's tactics are advanced, they are rigid in execution. They are always gathering formations and missed many opportunities to shoot down the opponent by single-player attacks. In the eyes of several German aces, the coalition air force is not impeccable.

So early the next morning, Goren, the commander of the German 1st Fighter Wing, reported the battle situation and losses of the previous night to the German 10th Army Command in Kiev and the German Front Command in Kharkov, and the German Army Front Command in Kharkov, and the air force command in Berlin, requested reinforcements and replenishment of aircraft and pilots from the Berlin Air Force Command.

At the same time, Hermann William Goring took advantage of the power of the wing captain and mobilized all the fighter squadrons under the north bank of the Dnieper River early in the morning on July 29 to temporarily transfer to the Krasnola Field Airport south of Kharkov, which was located between Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk, and was free to advance and retreat.

Goring mobilized five fighter squadrons, including the 4th, 6th, 10th, 11th and 28th fighter jets of the 1st Fighter Wing, a total of 80 fokkerdviidridviiii fighter jets, and concentrated at the Krasnora Field Airport. Adding to the 5 wings of the wing and the 26th Squadron, a total of 85 fighters, and decided to launch large-scale formation operations and retaliation against the coalition air force in the Volga Federation.

At the same time, Gorindo was mindful and through his personal relationship at the Hermann von François headquarters, he temporarily borrowed two anti-aircraft artillery battalions responsible for Kharkov air defense, moved to the field airport south of Kharkov, and formed an air defense firepower network with the anti-aircraft artillery battalion that originally protected the field airport.

Last night, the 26th Fighter Squadron of the Lieutenant Ruzel and the Goring Wing unit were almost wiped out. In addition to the 4 teams of the leader and Goring himself successfully returned, losing 14 aircraft and 13 ace pilots. Such a painful battle with Gogol felt that it was a shame for the entire German 1st Fighter Wing, and it was also a shame for him. The blood debt and blood repayment of his lost honor on the battlefield can only be retrieved from the battlefield!

At this time, the German domestic press did not know that the famous German Ace Flying United suffered such a painful blow and casualties on the Eastern Front of Ukraine. However, the German Air Force Command in Berlin was surprised after receiving the report. Of course, it was far from the time to scold Hermann William Gorene, the new wing captain.

Just late at night on July 28, the Berlin Air Force Command ordered Gorene to learn from the lessons and save the situation as soon as possible. Before the Allies made a big contribution to the victory of the 7.28 air battle, they would use their courageous actions to deal a fatal blow to the coalition air force from the battlefield and save the honor of the Luftwaffe Fighter Wing!

At the same time, the German Army Air Force Command in Berlin ordered the second batch of 64 fokkerdviii that were newly launched from the Folk Aircraft Factory to Ukraine by train as soon as possible, to replace and replenish the 1st fighter wing, and to draw two squadrons of second-line vacation pilots from other fighter wings to urgently replenish the 1st fighter wing in Ukraine.

In Hermann William Goring's opinion, the rookies of the coalition forces will not lose their luck in the daytime battle like last night. Under the clear sky, the white paint of their fighter jets is more concealed than the opponent's. As for the opponent's long-distance firing, Goring also had a way to deal with it, that is, let the German ace pilot use the advantages of flight technology, take advantage of the fokkerdviii's body as light as a swallow, climbing quickly and turning radius small, and use the maneuverable flight aerobatics to fight the opponent's firepower and peaceful flight speed.

On the side of the coalition, it is certainly a welcome victory for the young men of the air force in the first battle, but whether it is Wang Geng at the Samara Alliance Command or Major General Huang Jingbo, the air force commander of the frontline aviation team command in Chalijin, they are fully prepared for the retaliation of the Luftwaffe Air Force the next day.

Of course, there will inevitably be casualties in the war. In Wang Geng's view, the Chinese pilots of the coalition air force can achieve a 1:1 battle loss ratio. After all, these future prides of heaven have only undergone three months of rapid training from Nanyuan Aviation School and nearly half a year of in-process training. The actual experience of real air combat is almost blank, and more about the exercises and training of daily fighting classes.
