In the vast sky, there are no clouds. This should be a good weather for searching, but any pilot knows that it is not that simple to visually discover the plane in the sky opposite.

The pilot's eyes were sharp, but the plane flew in the other party was just a highlight. This also requires the advantage of sunshine. If you distinguish the other party's plane, the other party must have discovered it.

For every pilot, visual search for the target is the most common subject and must get full marks.

And Kalarixin didn't know that this visual search would be so simple.

Twenty minutes later, he saw a white line flying in the sky.

In the case of appropriate weather, jets can easily form a white trail in the sky, which cannot be eliminated, and this trail exposes the lightning bomber to Soviet pilots in advance.

The white lines appearing in the blue sky are clear, and when they see this white lines, they are both shocked.

What is that?

The UFO theory in this era has not yet become popular. In fact, in later generations, the so-called alien invasions have also attracted attention. Moreover, if an abnormal situation is discovered, it is undoubtedly the latest weapon of the Germans.

"Quick, keep climbing up and prepare to intercept." Pokreshkin shouted in the radio.

With his experience, he has seen that the other party's flight altitude is about the same as his own, about 10,000 meters. However, if they want to intercept, it is best to accumulate more energy and fly to a higher altitude so that they can handle it with ease.

The engine in front roared, the throttle rod had been pushed to the maximum, and the two MiG-fighters continued to climb upwards. At the same time, Pokreshkin converted the radio channel and briefly warned the rear: "The enemy plane was found, three hundred kilometers away from us. However, there should be only one observation target, and the enemy's large fleet of aircraft may be behind."

At this time, the distance between the two sides was approaching quickly.

At an altitude of 12,000 meters, Pokreshkin leveled the plane. At this time, he was condescending, and at the same time, the rapid approaching of both sides allowed him to clearly see the other party's plane.

What kind of aircraft is it? Judging from the appearance, it doesn’t seem to be much different from other bombers, but the two engines hanging under the wings are so strange that they can’t see the propeller!

Almost at the same time, the bombers on the opposite side had also discovered these two Soviet fighter jets that came to intercept.

"The enemy plane was discovered at an altitude of 12,000." Yang Sen said to his partner: "According to the navigation map, we are still 300 kilometers away from the target, so we can continue to increase the altitude."

Their lightning bomber only carries one ton of bombs, and there are no self-defense weapons. Now, after discovering the opponent's interceptor plane, what they need to do is fly higher.

"Climb to 15,000." Kleger said, slowly pulling the throttle lever with his left hand, turning the power of both engines on. At the same time, slowly pulling the operating lever with his right hand, and the bomber began to continue climbing.

The engines on both sides slowly entered full power state, and the speed increased to 000 rpm again. The tail of the engine began to spray orange-red flames, and the bomber climbed upwards.

In front of Soviet pilots, the climb of this bomber was beyond their imagination.

The engine under the wings will spit fire to the rear! And now the distance is closer, they have seen that the two white smoke in the sky are formed behind the engine, which is simply too strange. As the engine blows fire, the other party is climbing and climbing.

"Oh no, we will miss the interception and continue to climb!" After observing for a few seconds, Pokreshkin realized something was wrong and continued to climb up with his wingman.

But at this time, their engines have reached their limit. The air in high altitude is thin, the engine cannot absorb enough air, and the combustion is not complete, and the engine's power will decrease.

The engine exhaust pipe in front had already begun to emit black smoke. The two MiGs tried their best to climb to a height of 13,000 meters. If they could intersect somewhere from a distance, they could intercept the lightning bomber.

However, compared to them, the lightning bomber climbed faster.

As we flew all the way, the lightning bomber's internal fuel was constantly consumed. After the weight was reduced, the aircraft climbed even more rapidly. At the same time, it was also because of the turbine engine, which was naturally suitable for high altitudes.

It doesn't matter if the air is thin, it has a larger cross-sectional area. The entire front of the engine is flying towards the air, and a steady stream of air enters the engine. Under the agitation of the compressor, it enters the combustion chamber behind. The aviation fuel is burning hotly, spraying backwards, converting into power, pushing the aircraft forward.

Climb, continue to climb.

Soon, they climbed over 12,000, and then 13,000, and 14,000.

Just as the two MiGs were still climbing towards an altitude of 13,000 meters, the plane opposite had already flown to an altitude of 14,000 meters. At this time, even the best pilot, Pokreshkin, did not seize any shooting opportunities.

They could only look up their heads and watch the bomber disappear behind them, and watch their plane pass through Baiyan. Their necks were already hurting, and their hearts were extremely shocked.

What secret weapon is that of the Germans?

As the two sides crossed, they had already seen the black cross on the wings, which was indeed the German bomber. At the same time, they also saw clearly that the plane had no propellers.

"Its height is definitely more than 14,000, and it is still climbing!" Kalarixin shouted in the radio, and at this time he could no longer hide his shock: "Also, it flies faster than us!"

Last time, Soviet pilots used the leap tactic to fly higher, but that was also limited. For example, their current MiG-, no matter how much they jump, they could not exceed 14,000, and the other party could actually fly to a higher altitude!

At the same time, the opponent's speed is also quite fast. This kind of bomber exceeds the MiG-'s combat range and they cannot intercept it.

Kalarixin was shocked, and Pokreshkin was shocked, and he turned his head and gave up his pursuit of the bomber.

"The German bomber has an altitude of more than 14,000 and a speed of about 700. It is expected to arrive in Petersburg in half an hour. It seems that there is only this bomber. We will continue to fly westward and patrol." Pokreshkin called in the radio while flattening his fighter plane and decided to continue flying westward.

If only this one was the one, it would be fine. If all of the aircraft behind it were this kind of aircraft, then the MiG-fighter troops would have no possibility of interception, and Petersburg's fate would be very tragic.

Pokreshkin tried hard to suppress this idea. Now, what he needed was to fight bravely. Their aircraft could intercept bombers such as the Juncker-20.
