Chapter 1728 Shar Pei 3)
In history, Lieutenant Colonel Emile Lange was not famous. After all, it is easy to find a large number of ace pilots with hundreds of records from German pilot aces. For example, Lange, who only shot down less than 200 aircraft, could not rank at all.
However, he actually has his own glory. In history, he once set a record of shooting down 18 aircraft in a single day, which is the holder of the highest record for German fighter pilots.
As in history, Lieutenant Colonel Emile Lange was only an excellent track and field athlete and Lufthansa pilot last year. He was flying a three-engine Juncker-52 transport aircraft called Juncker Aunt Juncker, engaged in civil transport.
Like others, Lt. Col. Lange was very eager to join the fighter force. After failing to apply for the fighter pilots of the Air Force, he turned to the Navy.
After all, the Air Force has saved a large number of pilots, and Lieutenant Colonel Lange is too old. Last year, he was over 30 years old. For pilots, it should be considered the golden age before the age of 30.
Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Lange was not absorbed by the Air Force, but successfully entered the Navy. Compared with the Air Force, the Navy needed the largest number of pilots as the construction of aircraft carriers.
Although he used to fly a transport plane, but now he is changing to fighter planes, Lieutenant Colonel Lange quickly mastered all the flight skills. Although he is older, he is not inferior to others at all. Lieutenant Colonel Lange completed the training program efficiently and officially became a carrier-based aircraft pilot at the end of last year.
Afterwards, after several flight missions, his military rank was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, and he had already achieved more than ten shooting results.
Now, the most glorious day for Lieutenant Colonel Lange has finally arrived.
"Sharpee report, Sharpee report, found that the number of American fighter aircraft was more than a hundred, and requested to launch an attack, requested to launch an attack." Lt. Col. Lange shouted in the radio.
He and his wingman were originally carrying out patrol flight missions, but now they flew near the target and were immediately excited. So many planes were simply giving them the results.
Lt. Col. Lange's radio nickname is called Sharpee, you can tell these things by looking at his photos.
The Empire is rich in handsome men, especially soldiers. The top ten flying aces are all handsome men.
Lt. Colonel Lange's appearance is really nothing to do with the handsome guy. Time left traces on his face, turning him into the face of a Sharpei Dog. After being called, he was not angry and simply used Sharpei Dog as his radio code.
Judging from age, he is already a veteran, but Lieutenant Colonel Lange still has a passion for youth.
He was not afraid. In his eyes, those planes were his own prey.
As we were getting closer and closer, when we saw those planes flying at ultra-low altitudes on sea level, Lieutenant Colonel Lange was extremely excited in his heart. The one who came was the f2a buffalo, which was simply to deliver the results to himself!
This aircraft looks like it was pinched, thick and short, very similar to the fuselage of the Yi-15. Although it was designed with strong performance indicators, in fact, due to its subsequent overweight, this aircraft became the worst model and the bottom of the marine food chain.
These planes were simply here to make their own achievements. While Lt. Col. Lange was happy in his heart, he greeted the wingman and dived from a height of three thousand meters.
In the Arctic region, it is inconvenient to observe, and there are white areas everywhere, and often it is difficult to see clearly.
At this time, the two f190 fighter jets that flew in are almost approaching without any defense on the other side.
"Bang, bang!" When the dive came down, Lieutenant Colonel Lange had easily aimed at an aircraft. The shaft cannon on the nose roared, and with just four shells, the fighter jet in front volleyed and exploded.
At this time, the Americans' aircraft fleet discovered that the situation was not good. They were more than a hundred nautical miles away from the target, and they were actually attacked by German carrier-based aircraft!
"Please, climb, climb immediately!" the commander of the formation shouted loudly in the radio, and f2a were ready to climb from sea level.
Although there is no so-called energy maneuver theory yet, the altitude of the aircraft is crucial, and at sea level, they are definitely beaten.
There were curses sounded inside the radio, some cursing the Germans, some cursing the guy who made the battle.
Why choose to fly at ultra-low altitude?
Before taking off, the mission they received was to fly at ultra-low altitudes. It is said that because the German fleet has a complete carrier-based radar, it can search for flying objects in high altitudes above 100 kilometers. If they want to get close to the German fleet, ultra-low altitudes are the most suitable.
However, this plan has been proven to be unfeasible. They were attacked by the opponent's fighter jets far away from the German fleet. This was simply a slap in the face. How stupid is an ultra-low altitude raid!
A pilot was flying f2a and began to climb upwards. The engine in front was rumbling and burst out with maximum power. The propeller was rotating at full speed, and the entire plane crawled upwards with difficulty.
"Bang, bang!" Suddenly, a sound of a cannon came from behind him. Then, he felt his tail shaking and the operating rod was not in control. He turned his head and saw that black smoke had begun to emerge from the tail of the machine.
It's so terrible! When he climbed, he was actually attacked from the tail.
He pushed open the hatch and jumped down with difficulty. The sea water below was cold and he had no choice.
The second one!
This day was the time when Lieutenant Colonel Lange created a miracle. At the same time, this day was also the largest conflict between the German Navy and the US Navy fighter units.
What restricts Lieutenant Colonel Lange's achievements is mainly the number of enemy aircraft. He wants to shoot down the enemy aircraft, but the airspace around him is clean and he cannot find the target at all, so he cannot establish the results.
Now, there are American fighter jets all around, and Lieutenant Colonel Lange is like a fish in water, jumping up and down in the other party's group.
"Da da da da." The machine gun on the wing opened fire, and dense bullets shot into the opponent's cabin. The opponent lay on the operating rod, motionless, and blood splattered the entire cockpit.
The third frame!
"Sharpie, you're so awesome!" Following behind Lieutenant Colonel Lange, his wingman exclaimed.
The German fighter formation was mainly a dual-machine formation tactic. The wingman behind Lieutenant Colonel Lange followed him into the American aircraft group to protect him. Lieutenant Colonel Lange could be assured and bold as he fought bravely among enemy aircraft.
