Chapter 1593 Machine guns and machine guns 3)
Not everyone can withstand the test. Historically, the harsh military rules greatly reduced the number of people who turned against each other in the later Soviet wars. It was also because of the success of the Moscow defense war that they had boosted confidence.
But now, Moscow is about to turn into ruins, and the Soviet Union's buildings are about to overturn. At this time, of course, some people with unsteady will join the new camp.
Stalin's cruelty can scare people or scare people away.
Leonid is one of them.
Leonid was desperate to escape, and now, Varissi behind him was chasing him. As long as he dared to surrender to the enemy, he must be killed.
For this reason, Varissi didn't even care about the German fighter jets flying over his head. For him, the traitors were the most intolerant. The P-39 fighter chased Leonid with a graceful downward line and got closer and closer.
In the air chase, the aircraft behind has an advantage. Even if both sides have the same speed, the aircraft behind can cut the radius to shorten the distance. Now the trajectory of Varissi is exactly the shortest distance route.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and Varissi's eyes were filled with anger and slowly approached, and then he pressed the button on the operating rod.
"Bangbang!" A 37mm cannon on the nose of the aircraft opened fire. Several shells flew towards the target with fierce murderous aura. As long as one hit, it could blow a big hole in the plane.
At the same time, this gun only has 30 rounds of ammunition, so it must be used to save money when firing. Varissi cannot hold it all the time. Although it is so pleasant, the shells will disappear in an instant.
At this moment, Leonid actually pulled the rod and rudder, and the plane turned to the right, successfully avoiding several shells that had been shot.
The trajectory of the 37mm cannon was already a bit curved. If you want to hit it, you can only get close to it and open fire. Varissi was anxious just now, but he turned out to be missed.
Switch to machine gun! Varisey quickly adjusted his weapon conversion knob and selected the wing machine gun.
The firepower of the p-39 is strong. In addition to the 37mm gun, there are also four 7.62mm machine guns on the wings. After Varissi quickly adjusted it, he continued to fire.
He had to save some use of the machine gun, so he would not use the machine gun. Four machine guns and four thousand rounds of ammunition were prepared, which was enough to form a dense rain of bullets.
At this moment, there was only a traitor in Varissi's vision, and he wanted to kill him!
The dense bullets formed a terrifying metal storm, with yellow and orange 7.62mm warheads flying towards the target.
Leonid felt his plane trembling weakly in the storm, and a row of bullets shot to his tail, instantly knocking his tail to a scattered hole.
Then, another row of bullet holes appeared on the rear fuselage. As long as Varisey continued to pull the operating lever, the dense rain of bullets could hit the cab and shot Leonid to death on the seat.
Just when Leonid was frightened, the German fighter plane finally arrived.
Until now, if Major Wiesenberg could not guess what was going on, he would be too slow.
It is obvious that this is chasing the traitor. The plane in front may want to defect, so of course he has to deal with the fighter plane behind without hesitation.
After diving from the air again, Major Wiesenberg's plane easily chased behind Varissi.
German fighter jets unified their weapons and equipment very early.
During World War II, aircraft in many countries still used machine guns as their main air combat weapon, but the caliber of the machine guns was too small, so the aircraft often dragged hundreds of bullet holes and finally flew back without any damage.
The power of machine guns is no longer enough, so using machine guns as the main weapon of fighter jets will make you unable to do so and you must use the air cannon.
The larger the caliber of the air cannon, the greater the power, but this will lead to other problems. The first is that the ammunition load capacity is small. For example, a 37mm air cannon is equipped with dozens of rounds, and it will be gone after a few shots. The second is the ballistic bending. The larger the caliber of the shell, the more it will be bent when it goes out. After all, the barrel cannot be too long.
Therefore, considering comprehensively, a 20mm air cannon should be more suitable. At the same time, on the other hand, it is also because Germany's air-to-air missiles are already under steadily development. Although they are still very primitive now, the future sky will definitely be air-to-air missiles, and there is no need to build a particularly large-caliber air cannon.
20mm is just right.
The current f190 uses the Mauser mg151/2020 mm air cannon. This air cannon is the main weapon of the aviation force. As Major Weisenberg presses the button, as the fuselage shakes, 20 mm high-explosive bombs fly towards the target.
"Boom!" A shell successfully hit the tail of the p-39, instantly smashing the vertical tail halfway. It was not until this time that Varissi discovered that he had made a serious mistake.
In air combat, you must closely monitor the surrounding airspace and attack the target by yourself. At the same time, you can easily become the target of others' attacks.
Therefore, the main use of formation tactics is now used. When the pilot of the pilot attacks the target, the wingman must help the pilot defend the airspace at the tail of the aircraft to prevent the opponent from attacking.
But now, Varissi is only a single-player attack mode. In order to shoot down the traitor, he didn't care about the German plane for the time being, but was attacked by the German plane.
Half of the hanging tail was blown off, and Varissi felt that the fuselage was out of control in an instant. He tried to stabilize the operating rod and the fighter was flying swayingly. He wanted to try hard to maintain the balance of the plane. At this time, it would be great that he could fly back without mentioning the target.
p-39 is like a wild horse that has broken away. Varissi's whole body is trembling, and he has finally controlled the plane. At this moment, a terrible sound of cannons sounded again from behind.
"Bang, bang!" The f190 fighter's nose was blazing with a flame, and 20mm shells flew towards the target again after a brief correction.
"Boom!" Unable to withstand another blow, the plane suddenly exploded in the air, and it turned into a huge fireball, rolling and falling downwards.
A victory!
Major Wiesenberg was extremely happy and finally killed one.
In front, the pursued fighter plane was still flying steadily, as if waiting for Major Wiesenberg.
So Major Wiesenberg slowly approached the P-39. When the two planes were flying side by side, he could see the Soviet pilot on one side from the cockpit. The other party also saw him and showed a flattering smile. So he shook the wings, pointed to the distance, told the other party to fly with me!
