Chapter 661 (2) Almost the entire army was wiped out

When returning to the formation, the coalition fighter jets were often hit by German planes chasing them from behind and lost money. If the pilots of the two FR18 fighter bombers were the best first-stage fast-students of the Nanyuan Aviation School, the coalition 1st fighter bomber wing would suffer much more losses than the 36 shot down.

Of course, both sides were red-eyed. For Hermann William Goring, the wing captain of the German Fighter Wing, the result of a 36:30 match the next day was absolutely unacceptable, which meant that he almost lost two more squadrons. Moreover, since the battlefield was located in the territory of the Volga Federation, the German ace who were forced to land and fall survived, and there would be no other way out except being captured by the coalition ground forces.

Since the German fokker fighter's battery life was only 1 and a half hour, it took half an hour to assemble from the formation above Krasno, and the 120 kilometers on the road flew over for more than half an hour. The two sides fought until 9:30. Although the air battle lasted only half an hour, it was obvious that the German army had to consider returning. The remaining fuel was only enough to fly back to the field airport south of Kharkov. Many fokker fighter jets had even fired all their machine gun bullets.

Hermann William Goring had to lead 29 fokkerdviii to cut off the rear and retreat southward. When fighting over Belgorod, five fokkers were shot down by the opponent's air defense fire. This was something he had never expected. Although the anti-aircraft guns of the coalition ground forces were average, their firing rate and firepower were quite fierce. The woven air fire net shot down the planes driven by his five ace pilots.

Fortunately, although Hermann William Goring was disappointed, if the record of 36:30 is temporarily calculated, his ace fighter wing would at least have a bad victory. Moreover, after returning to the field airport in the southern suburbs of Kharkov, he could also use the firepower of the three anti-aircraft artillery battalions arranged on the ground to cause huge damage to the aircraft chased by the coalition forces, if the opponent dares to chase.

In contrast, the Chinese pilots of the 1st Fighting Bomber Wing of the Alliance Air Force, who were in the first large formation, actually withstood the test. The cheers and cheers of the ground forces made these prides in the air enter an era of blood flying after the initial tension, and they were all holding on to beat the Germans down. Although the fighter bomber, the DH4, seemed a bit huge and clumsy in front of the Fokker, the record of 30:36 was still inspiring to the pilots of the 1st Fighting Bomber Wing.

Because they were fighting at their doorstep, not far below was the field airport of the coalition air force in Belgorod. In addition, each of the coalition pilots equipped with parachutes, the morale of the coalition 1st fighter-bomber wing did not decline with the increase in casualties, but increased even more.

Several SE5s even replenished their ammunition after landing after the machine gun bullets fell, flew into the sky and returned to the battle. After losing 36 fighter jets, the remaining 60 coalition fighter jets continued to bite Goring's formation and chased after them. The ones rushing to the front were 22 FR18 Excellent Fighter Bombers.

Because the fuel left of his formation of fokker aircraft was not enough, Gorein had to retreat towards Kharkov while fighting. Of course, at this time he knew that although the coalition pilots were a little immature, the battle and the courage to sacrifice were definitely not worse than his ace pilots. During the fierce battle in the air, there were more than once scenes of planes of both sides colliding and falling together after colliding, which made Hermann William Gorein seem to have returned to the battlefield of the war-torn Western Front.

Although the coalition fighter jets shot down by the German 1st Fighter Wing exceeded the results of the Western Front in one month today, in turn, in the two air battles yesterday and today, Goering's 1st Fighter Wing lost 45 aircraft, which far exceeded the entire loss of the wing during the Western Front in the past three months. Hermann William Goering's mood was bitter and heavy.

Now we can only hope to cover the formation to land safely on the German field airport in the southern suburbs of Kharkov before the fuel is exhausted. If the coalition forces give up the pursuit, Goren plans to take off again after refueling and refueling. He believes that the other party's Chinese rookie pilots are exhausted at this moment, and they are powerless even if they want to fight again. Then he will kill them and kill them all.

As one goes up and down, Gorein believes that if 55 fokkers fight against 60 coalition fighters in the second wave of air battles, he is sure to shoot down all DH4s except the perverted new fighter such as FR18, and at least half of the remaining SE5s of the opponent. This is how you can achieve a complete victory. Although the cost is already very high, Gorein's Captain thought so!

Of course, the tenth most unsatisfactory people in the world were the only ones who were not satisfied. The appearance of the 2nd Fighter Bomber Wing of the Alliance, which was transferred to support the air combat, completely ruined Hermann William Gorene in order to save the honors and hopes of the 1st Fighter Wing and his third wing captain.

The 2nd Fighter Bomber Wing of the Alliance Army transferred from Kamensk 300 kilometers away. Except for the 40 SE5 fighters, the 40 SE5 fighters had more than one-third of the fuel, the 104 coalition fighters cut off the way for the Gorene formation to retreat from behind, and behind them continued to chase the 60 60 SE5 fighter jets of the Alliance Army 1 fighter bomber Wing that they were resolutely entrusted.

There was no suspense in this battle. A total of 164 coalition fighters surrounded the Goring Wing's remaining 55 fuels began to be alerted. The fokker fighter jets with very few ammunition were left. The wing captain Goring broke through the encirclement under the death of two fokkerdviii squadrons and escort. There were only 8 German fighters who could return to the Kharkov South Suburb Field Fighting Airport. The remaining 47 fighters were shot down by the coalition fighter jets during the retreat.

The blood of the German aces was poured into the airspace from Bergorod to Kharkov. During the process of siege and pursuit, the German aces, who had desperately lost their oil, had few ammunition, were outnumbered and were attacked from front and back, still produced amazing data. Although they were shot down such a huge number of 47, the two fighter wings of the coalition still paid the price of 32 being shot down.

The air battle on the morning of July 29, 1918 was the largest large-scale air battle participated by the Luftwaffe on the Eastern Front. The Imperial Air Force's Glory German 1st Fighter Wing almost lost six squadrons of fighter jets. Except for the 27th Squadron, which was stationed in Odessa, the other six squadrons were almost wiped out. Hermann William Gorene, who was desperately struggling to break through the encirclement and landing, was almost a bloody man when he was helped out from the cabin by ground crew members.
